PLANS ALREADY.
STARTED FOR
INAUGURAL
Letters to Democrats Urge
Ceremonies Like Those
of Bygone Days

John F. Costello, Demo
cratic national committeeman
of the District of Columbia,
started today to lay plans for
the Inauguration Of President
elect Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Costello was seeking to
locate James A. Farley, the
the Democratic campaign man.
ager, over long-distance telephone
to make arrangements for con-
ference either in New York city
or Washington at which inaugu-
raj plans will be discussed.
Swamped by Requests
The Democratic central COM
mittee of the District has been
swamped with requests and
recommendations that the Roose-
velt inaugural be on a parity
of some of those in the past
where thousands Of persons have
participated. Mr.. Costello said:
Personally 1 think that from
the psychological standpoint, q
real Old-time Inauguration
would be beneficial. / believe
it would get the country out
of the dOldrumS.
However, have not as yet
discussed the matter with Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Farley. The
President-elect dictates the
kind of Inauguration he de
Sires. When 1 communicate
with Mr.. Farley, will &C
quaint him with the requests
for an old time Inauguration,
but 1 do not anticipate that
anything definite will be de-
cided until after he has talked
the matter over with the
Presidentelect and he and l
have conferred"
Plans in Abeyance
Mr. Costello said that until
after the conference with Mr..
Farley there would be no an
nouncement as to the chairman
of the inaugural committee. Lieut..
Col. U. s. Grant Sd, director OF
public buildings and public parks
headed the inaugural committee
when President Hoover was IN"
Quoted into the chief executive
ship.
/. At headquarters of the Ma
tional Democratic Executive COM
mittee, it also was stated that
there were no inaugural plans as
vet. It was indicated at that
source that none possibly would
be made until after Christmas.

COPELAND ACTS
To AID DRUG
ADD|CTS
Need for District Facilities
Subject of Inquiry BY
D0ct0r-Senat0r

An investigation of the need
for District facilities for the
treatment of drug addicts was
launched today by Senator
Royal S. Copeland (D.) of New
York, chairman of the hospital
subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee.
If his investigation discloses a
necessity for establishment of in
stitutions, Copeland said he would
attempt to force creation of a
place where addiction may be
treated.
Copeland Knows Subject
A recent survey Of conditions
here showed that the District has
no hospital or other public insti-
tuition, that makes provision for
curative treatment Of addictS.
DR.. Copeland is believed to
possess more knowledge Of the
social problem of drug addiction
than any other man in the Sen
ate.
When the Harrison narcotic
act was upheld in the courts fol
lowing its passage, Senator Cope
land was health commissioner in
New York.
Establishes Hospital
The immediate arrest by agents
of narcotic victims brought 11,000
addicts under his Jurisdiction over
night. He established hospital
through which addictS were sent
for treatment under the super
vision of DR.. Thomas F. Joyce,
present medical superintendent at
California State Narcotic Hospital,
which is recognized by authorities
as being the most modern institu-
ton in the country.
Senator Copeland declared that
every community should have
some institution where treatment
could be given and that the Dis
trict should be no exception in
that regard.
He will make inquiry Of Calm
ger and st. Elizabeth authorities
to determine what plan can be
evolved for creation of such an
Establishment, he declared,

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti,
Sept. % N.S.).-The hurri-
cane which took at least 200
lives and injured hundreds in
Puerto Rico swept over Haiti
this afternoon, vastly decreased
in intensity.
All populous districts in the
area at the eastern end of the
island escaped, according to avail
able information.
The disturbance was deflected
by the mountains of Haiti and
headed west by south toward
Jamaica. 1t Is feared the noun

SAN JUAN, Sept. % 0.N.S0.
With all relief agencies modified,
Puerto Rico today faced the task
of undoing, so far as possible, the
damage wrought by hurricane
that swept over the island, killing
hundreds ana causing property
losses running into millions Of
dollars.
Gov. James R. Beverly told
International News Service the
known dead already reached 200
persons and that 1000 at least
had been injured. Thousands
were homeless.
He said he expected the figures
to increase rather than diminish.
Puerto Rico Wrecked
Puerto Rico, famed for its
beauty, presented a sad spectacle
after the storm had spent it's
fury. Where once there had been
beauty on all sides, there re-
mained only devastation and
Wreckage.
Residents surveying the scene
recalled the famous storm of San
Felipe in 1928. when the island
was reduced to utter desolation.
Reports filtering here from the
more remote centers indicated the
task of relief would be gigantic
one.
In Fajardo and Tao Alta, it
was said, few, if any, houses were
left standing. The same fate was
reported by many smaller inland
towns.

in which Callicotte expresses the
view that he placed the suitcase

a result of which 10 lives we're
lost and Tom Mooney and War

prison for life.
Callicotte'S statement is to the
effect that he had no idea what
was in the suitcase, but that he
had been paid $5 to carry it
from Oakland to San Francisco
on the day of the parade. He
was 16 and interested only in
the SIS.
According to the Oregonian, he
went voluntarily to police head

Callicotte is 80, married, and
the father of one child. He said
he had not made a statement

Wheat went lower despite wide

there were sufficient offerings on

CLAIMS
! BACKED BY
BROEN|NG
Ex-Mayor of Baltimore Ayers
Senator in No Way Connected
With Charity Ball Plans

NEW YORK, Sept. %
G.N.S. ).-Neither James J.
Davis nor the supreme council
of the Loyal Order of Moose
ever passed upon the 1880 and
1881 charity balls, it was tes-
Titled today by William F.
Broening, former mayor of
Baltimore and former supreme
dictator of the Moose, at the
."lottery" trial of Davis.
The witness, called by the de-
fense, added that neither Davis
nor the supreme council ever
discussed the charity affairs as
far as he could remember. He
said:
ION the contrary, Director
General Davis frequently ex-
pressed his opposition to all
forms of gambling"
The assignment of the cor
ganization contract" held by
Davis with the Moose was taken
up next.
Basis of Charge
This matter forms the basis
for the Governments charge that
Davis profited by $173,000 from
the charity balls. 1t is alleged
this contract, under which Davis
retained all initiation fees of
new Moose members, is still in
effect.
The defense has presented evi-
dence to show Davis sold his
contract under an oral agree
ment, in Sharon. Pa, for $780,
900 to Joseph jenkins and Fred
w. Jones. his financial agent.
Broening testified that the
Moose Supreme Council, in Sha-
Fon, in 1880, discussed the sale of
Davis contract to jenkins and
Jones but did not ratify it.
Feeling Of Gloom"
Asked why it wasn't ratified,
6roening testified:
at wasn't thought necessary.
1t was thought Davis had the
right to assign the contract to
whOmever he chose. There was
just a feeling of gloom among
the members of the council that
Davis was stepping out"
Broening testified that the as
signment of the contract was fl
nally approved by the supreme
council in August, 1882, at the
Cleveland convention. This was a

YANKEE STADIUM, NEW
YORK, Sept. % (I.N.S.l 1.-THE
1882 world series started here
this afternoon because a wind
sprang up about noon, chased
away the low-hanging clouds,
and gave the sun a chance to
glisten on a field that was rain
drenched except where protect
ing tarpaulins had been placed.
But the change in weather
conditions came too late to bring
much of crowd into the sta
dium. Thousands of reserved seats
were unsold and the same was
true of the $3.50 pavillions and
the $1.10 bleachers.
At 1890, an hour before COM
bat was to start, there we're no
more than 5000 persons in the
gigantic stands. No waiting line
was outside, and estimates as to
the probable attendance ranged
between $4,000 and $4,000.
At p. m. the sun started q
hide-and-go-seek game with some
neWly-arrived dun-colored clouds
and there was much looking up
into the ether and specializing
what might transpire.
BleacherS Filling
BY that time the $1.10 bleacher
seats we're about two-thirdS filled,
but the wide open spaces in the
grandstand continued their glar-
ing existence.
The right field bleacherites
broke into wild cheers at 1:05,
waved coats and enthusiastically
fluttered handkerchiefs, hats, pa
pers and everything else that was
handy. The Cubs had just gone
out for fielding practice and
looked at the bleachers in sur.
prise at what seemed to be a ter
rifle ovation. But it developed
that the Cubs had not inspired
the hectic commotion.
