HURRICANE HEADS
FOR SHIPPING AREA
enormous" Disturbance Is
Moving Northeasterly; Capi.
tai Continues Cool.

While vessels on North Atlantic
steamship lanes prepared today to
weather the storm which for two days
has made its way up the east coast of
North America, the hurricane, moving
rapidly continued in its northeasterly
direction and probably will get into the
heavy shipping area late today, 1t was
said at the Weather Bureau.
Meanwhile Washington and much of
the. eastern part of the country, which
last week sweltered with the tempera-
ture in the high COS, shivered this
morning after the thermometer had
dropped as low as IS degrees during
the night.
Windy During Night.
Fresh northerly winds, on the sur
face, famed Washington throughout
the night, and brought with them the
cool air. and mile above the surface,
1t was said at the Weather Bureau q
gale Is blowing, tossing aircraft about.
The gale Is part of the disturbance
created by the hurricane.
Today will continue cool in the Capt.
tai area, with slightly rising tempera-
ture tomorrow
Weather bureau officials today de-
scribed the disturbance over the At
lantic as enormous" end intense"
1t covers hundreds of square miles, they
said, and would have caused untold
damage had it reached the mainland.
AT noon 1t was a few hundred miles off
Cape Hatteras, they said.
Although its progress in the tropical
laSitudes during the last week has been
SLOW, as soon as it crossed 80 degrees
north latitude last night its progress
became more rapid, and it swept up
the coast, growing in size and intensity,
Vt was pointed out.
Small Vessels Missing.
Several smaller vessels, which report
ed themselves near the center of the
disturbance at various times yesterday,
did not report last night or early today
and their fate is unknown. Storm
warnings have been up for a week,
however, and Weather Bureau officials
said II their masters put out into the
storm 1t was with full knowledge of It.
Rhode Island and Massachusetts, in
ths Cape Cod area will be the chief
mainland points to feel the intensity
OF the blow, and strong northeast winds
section for late today and tonight The
only rain which the storm has brought
20 land points thus far was reported at
Nantucket and Hatteras last night.
This, 1t was said. not only shows the
enormous scope of the hurricane, but
also points to the fact that its intensity
and incident precipitation Is being spent
at sea.

RECEIVER ADMITS
COURT AIDED HIM
Tells House Probers Federal
Judges Decision Protected
Larger Fees.
BY the Associated Press.

4 By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, September g.
Testimony that Federal Judge Harold
Louderback approved the dismissal of
bankruptcy proceedings against brok-
erage firm then in receivership and
that large fees payable to the receiver
and his attorneys thus were protected
from possible shrinkage. was given here
yesterday before the House Judiciary
Subcommittee investigating the jurist's
| official conduct.
John Douglas Short, attorney for
Receiver H. B. Hunter in the receiver
ship of Russell-Col g. Co., San
, Francisco brokers, was on the stand all
afternoon, under examination by Rep
resentative La Guardia of New York.
Hunter testified Tuesday he had ac-
! cepted the post from Judge Louder
back, whom he said he had not pre-
viously known personally, after Louder
back had removed Addison Strong,
Berkeley accountant, as receiver.
Hired Bankruptcy Specialist.
Short testified he engaged Milton
Neumark, an attorney, to assist him
because Neumark was a specialist in
bankruptcy matters, although the Rus
SELL -Colvin firm was not in bankruptcy
then, nor since. An involuntary petit
ton in bankruptcy had been filed, how
ever.
"It may have been unnecessary"
Short said.
Short denied that any stock had been
converted or was missing. He admit
ted. however, that most of the stock
held by the company for its customers
had been hooked to the neck"
ut would have made big difference
In your fee If the company had been
thrown into bankruptcy" La Guardia
commented Bankruptcy fees are fixed
by statute; receivership fees by the
court)
"Yes," Short admitted.
And the dismissal of the bankruptcy
matter had the approval Of Judge Lou
derback. did it not?"
"Yes."
Fees Cut in Half.
While this testimony was being taken
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals here handed down decision cut
ting in half the fees Judge Louderback
allowed Samuel M. Shortridge, jr., and
his attorney for the time they appeared
as receivers for the Lumbermen's Re-
ciprocal Association.
The Circuit Court some time ago
ruled Judge Louderback had no juris-
diction in the case and it should be
handled in the State courts.
The court said that, although Short
ridge claimed the fees allowed were only
6k per cent of the s180,0O0 in the as
sociation, $95, 900 of the amount was on
deposit with the State and never ad-
ministered by Shortridge, a son of
United States Senator Shortridge Of
California.
