Curtis Says G. o. P. Tariff Makes Good
 Living Standards

Parkersburg, W. Va, Sept 2T- (UP)-Repubiican tariffs and in- migration restrictions account for higher standards of living, vice. President Curtis said in a cam paign address here last night. He will speak at Charleston, w. Va, tonight, then leave for the mid- west.
 Although finding ''some object ionable features" in the Smoot- Hawley tariff, the vice-president said these were outweight "by the admittedly. good and beneficial provisions"
 "In these trying times of world wide economic disturbances" he said, republicans tariffs and im- migration restrictions acco n | largely for American wages being more than in any other country"
 He pleaded for support of the republican tariff policy, which he said, had as one of its basic pur- poses, protection of the farmer.

asleep in a front attic room. Mrs Thayer's injuries doubtless would have been more serious but for the fact that her bedroom door was closed. This door, which was shattered by flying debris, shielded her.
 Hemmed in by wreckage, Judge Thayer struggled for several min utes to extricate himself.
 Tossed from bed, the maid rush. ed to the rear of the house but found the stairway destroyed. She had to wait until firemen raised ladders and carried her to safety.
 State, county, and city author ities joined in the investigation of the explosion. Captain Charles J. Van Amburgh. state firearms ex- pert, was expected to arrive here from Boston during the day. Boston. Sept 27 - (U. P.) - Captain Thomas E. Bligh of the state police to-day assigned state Detectives John F. Stokes and Jo- seph l..

 Rye Beach, N. H.. Sept 27-(UP) -Alvan T. Fuller, who as governor of Massachusetts made the final decision which sent Sacco and Van zetti to the electric chair in 1927, declined to comment to-day on the bombing of the home of Judge Mass.
 Fuller had just finished a round of golf with Samuel Allen of St Louis, Mo, at the Abenaqui golf club when he learned of the bomb ing. A member of the Rye Beach police department conferred with the governor, but Fuller apparently rejected the offer of a bodyguard.
 Westfield, Mass. Sept 27-(UP) Governor Ely announced at his home here to-day that he would leave for Worcester immediately to obtain first hand information about the bombing of Judge Webster Thayer's home.
 The governor emphasized that he would not take personal charge of the investigation but would con- fer in Worcester with the various state authorities.
 He also indicated that he would recommend to his executive coun- ell that a reward be offered to spur the investigation.

any, were negligible. Engle Sim mons, federal special observer, averted a calamity by firing warn- ing guns an hour and a half be- fore the storm struck. The popu- lace took shelter in the more solidly-constructed buildings which withstood the storm, thus avoiding cascualties.
 The storm, centering slightly south, blew from D. m! to p. m. The wind velocity was more than 90 and the barometer 29.10. Estimates of the damage were so far unavailable. The scheduled legislative elections have been postponed.
 Washington, Sept 27-(UP)- The American Red Cross advised the war and navy departments to- day that a hurricane of, great in- tensity and duration, attaining a velocity of -120 miles per hour at San Jpan, swept Puerto Rico last night.
 The report said the majority of public and private buildings and WclO pA dStASoAAJ oCSIAOy Cu Or seriously damaged.
 Red Cross Works
 The navy was advised that Red Cross chapters already were work ing and would submit detail re- ports as soon as possible. No loss of life as yet had been reported.
 The message said the city and suburbs of Puerto Rico Hooked very similar to the morning after the disastrous hurricane of Sep tember. 1928."
 The Puerto Rico hurricane of September 13 and September IA. 1928. killed 271 persons and in- jured more than 5000. Nearly a third of the population was left destitute. The American Red Cross helped rebuild 50.000 homes and cared for the same number of tn- digent Farmers.
 Loss of sugar crop alone in 1928 amounted to more than $17.000,0 ,000 and to s9,460.000 on tobacco, and $4,000,000 on seed beds, cloth and stock and warehouses.
 The Puerto Rican capital. San Juan, has a population of 115,000. It is the business as well as the governmental center of the island.
 The weather bureau said tho hurricane probably would strike the island Of Haiti this afternoon.

 The hurricane reached the peak between midnight and a. m., the advices said. The wind was report ed whipping through the city at 130 miles an hour-a high velocity even for such damaging Storms as occasionally wreck cities of the West Indies.
 The barometer reading was 2s.95 at the period of greatest wind continued, but by a. m. the wind had dropped to IS miles an hour, and the barometer rose to .29.75, the messages said.
 Eye of Storm' It was uncertain whether this period of calm was the "eye of the storm" A hurricane moves in a circle with a dead calm-the "eye" in the center. AS a result city in the path of a hurricane is like- ly to experience intense wind, then a period of calm and then another battering blow.
 Communications with the inte- rior of the island, which was rav- aged by the same stor mon Mon- day, was disrupted. There was no information on damage or loss of life in the interior. The provinces are sparsely inhabited. Began at 10 F., M.
 The actual storm in San Juan began at 10 p. m. yesterday when the barometer dropped suddenly, reading 29.66. with a wind of 80 miles an hour.

 bundle of checks, issued by the or ganization deparemtn to Davis. Af- ter identifying the checks the wit ness was asked to tell why they were paid to Davis but Louis M Treadwell, government prosecutor objected and was sustained. Jones Identified two other checks one totaling $127,4i8.50 and the other $65S.33, issued by the organ ization department to the Fidelity Trust company. These checks, he said, were in payment of a princi- pal and interest on a, note to Mrs Jeanne R. Davis, wife of the de- fendant. This note, Jones ex- plained yesterday, was taken over as part of the liabilities of the or ganization department which they took over from Davis on September 1, 1880.
 Then Margiotti turned to the transaction in which Davis assert edly turned over the organization department to Jones and Jenkins for an understanding of $600,000.
 Why didn't you make written contract?" Margiotti asked.
 well, MT Davis, MT Jenkins and had been associated for, many years and we reached an oral un- derstanding." he said.
 Jones identified the cash book of the Liberty Bond and Mortgage company and testified it showed the receipt of check $17,s50 from Theodore c. Miller, head of the propagation department.
 Jones is secretary treasurer of the Liberty Bond and Mortgage Company organized by Davis to help finance the building of local Moose lodges. The witness explain ed that of the total amount of the check $8,50o was paid to the Fidelity Trust Company. of Pitts burg in repayment by Miller of a loan to him. The rest was held by the mortgage company. as repay ment of a $9,350 debt also owed the firm by Miller.
 Davis, wearing blue sack suit and blue tie, listened intently to the testimony.
 The witness identified three checks totalling $100,O0O issued on January 6, 1881.
 Jones told of meeting Bernard c. Mcclure January 8, 1881, and of discussing with him the matter of charity bazaar"
 Then reverting to the three checks (totalling $100.000) includ- ing one for $30,000, Jones said the latter was repayment of a loan by Miller.
 The remaining $70,O0O, he said, was 8 gift" by Miller to Jones and Jenkins. Previously, witnesses had testified that the three checks were deposited against the $150,- 900 note obtained by the organiza- tion department from q Pittsburg bank for working capital
 Jones said the 1890 campaign for new members of the Moose netted Miller a profit of $1.25 a head for 62.000 new members. Miller turned over $25,000 of this to the organ ization department.

Bomb Judges Home
 In Worcester, Mass.
(Continued from Page l)

During the next seven years one of the greatest legal battles In his- tory was waged to save the pair from the electric chair. In a dozen European and South American countries there were demonstra- tions and bombings by Sacco- Vanzetti sympathizers. The cry was raised that the pair had been con- victed because they were commun- ists.
 Sacco and Vanzetti were electro cuted at Massa chusetts state prison August 23, 1927.
 Judge Thayer received hundreds of death threats in connection with the trial and execution of Nicola Sacco. shoe worker, and Bartolo- meo Vanzetti, fish peddler, who were electrocuted at State Prison in 1927 for the murder of pay master and his guard at South Braintree seven years earlier. Po- lice were inclined to link the bombing with the Sacco-V Vanzetti case, although conceding 1t was strange that vengeance should have been so long deferred.
 It was understood that Judge Thayer had received no threats in recent months. Nor has he engaged in any recent activity which might make enemies, the 74-year-old jus tice told investigators.
 When firemen reached the Thay- CT home on Institute road, in re- sponse to an emergency call, they found the judge. unhurt but suf- fering from shock, groping through the darkness and debris to reach 1,f ,,,ifapo
 "They can't kill mo that easily" exclaimed the judge. T hate to think because a man does his duty by God and country he gets this."
 Indications were that the bomb had been placed under a rear 7 piazza. Police said that only the fact that the Thayers and their maid occupied rooms in the front of the house probably saved their lives. The rear of the building was demolished by the blast, which was not followed by fire.
 A garage and a barn behind the house were wrecked. Two automo- piles in the garage were crushed by heavy timbers.
 Residences on either side of the Thayer home were damaged. Doors were blown out and walls and cell ings were damaged at the home of Mrs John s. Lewis, about 100 feet away. At the home of Richard J. Healey, prosperous department store proprietor. on the other side. similar damage resulted. Doors w.re blown out and windows shat tered at Charles Eames' home, across the street. Lesser damage was caused to dwellings for blocks around.
 Investigators learned that an au- tomobile was seen speeding from a point near the house immediately before the blast. The car was seen by a. resident of Beachmont street who was hurled from bed.
 At the time of the explosion, Judge Thayer and his wife were asleep in adjoining bedrooms on the second floor of the 2 1-2 story wooden dwelling. The maid was
