Dixie was safe unless the seas rise again.
 Four Vessels Near
 Four vessels stodo by, their fun nels and masts conveying messages of reinsurance to those on the Dixie across the still fast running seas. They were the United Fruit liners Limon and Platano, the Fl Occidente, also a Southern Pacific boat, and the tanker Reaper. They hoped to lower their boats before noon to start taking off the Dixie's passengers, but awaited tho com mand Of Captain Sundstrom.
 The wind had veered to south and west and had greatly lessened in the velocity.
 The Dixie, enroute to New York from New Orleans on her regular run, was blown onto the reef Mon- day night by the same hurricane that devastated the Florida Keys. Her situation was so perilous that her master sent repeated sos calls. Yesterday, as the rescue vessels reached her and as she withstood the furious pounding of the seas, her peril grew less grave.
 1t was believed that all passeng- CTS ant . part of the crew would be taken off and landed at Miami, where Red Cross facilities were ready to care for several passeng- CTS reported injured. Salcage tugs

Republicans Facing
 Worst Fight or AH
(Continued from Page 1)

It was also learned today that members of the steering commit tee" have begun bringing pressure to bear on Town Chairman Pa- lomba to keep as many Italians as possible off the s. o. p. ticket the Pape gang wants. In past years, the "steering committee" claims, too many Italians have been on the ticket and this year they have received the promise of Attorney Palomba that he will do his bit to keep as many of his race as possible off the ticket, according to reports. As result it is doubt full if ex-Alderman Pasquale Per- riello will be given a chance to get on the ticket for the board of aldermen. The steering committee is also understood to have turned thumbs down" on William Kol- beck, we'll known Brooklynite.
 Alderman Dropped
 The order has gone out that Aldermen Joseph Wilhelm, c. Arthur Dubois and George King ston are not to be given renomina- ton by the Pape gang. Burton Walker, who was seeking a place on the board of aldermen in the place of Aldermen Simeon Nichols, has also been given the stamp of disapproval by the Pape-controlled steering committee"
 William Curtis and William Cambigue are being strongly back ed for the board of aldermen. It is definitely known that the Papc gang has decided to drop Judge Harry J. Beardsley from the board of education. The heads of two other republican members of this board are also said to be on the Steering committee" chopping block merely waiting for the axe to fall.
 The tickets for the primaries must be in the hands of James A. White, secretary of the s. 0. D. town committee, by 6 o'clock Fri day evening. The two sets of dele gates will show the local republi- can organization to be widely split.

can workers organization. The fight will be directed against the hand picking of convention dele gates and candidates for the g. o. p. ticket.
 Yesterday afternoons meeting of the republican town committee was serene on the surface, but the un- dercurrent was directly the oppo- site. In the first place, Chairman Palomba yesterday morning called up members of the town committee whom he knows are not sympathet- ic with his or publisher Pape's tac- tics and told them they did not have to attend the town committee session because only the dates for the primaries and conventions were to be held. Chairman Palom- ba did not call up those who arc behip him on the town commit tee. He hoped, 1t was asserted to- day, to flood the committee meet ing with his own packers and those sympathetic with the Pape gang in general and then pull something fast" that he had up has sleeve.
 Serenity Was Forced
 However, the anti Palomba- Pape members of the committee sensed the intent of the Pape gang and attended the meeting. The session had to be serene because there were enough of the anti-Pape group present to make 1t so.
 The names "anti-steering com mittee" and republican workers A- L ,Io tan v,e opposed to the Pape-Palomba- Larkin forces are only tentative ones. Further plans for the bitter primary battle next Monday night that will tear the local E. o. p. or ganization asunder in the test of who shall rule, Pape and the steering committee" or the actual workers, will be made late today, tomorrow, and Friday.
 The group opposed to the Pape gang plans to support Major John M. Burrall for the mayoralty nom- ination. However, they have risen up in protest against the Pape- controlled Steering committed move in practically picking the rest of the ticket before the primaries or conventions are held and in "stuffing" the primary lists of delegates with persons favorable to their dictates.
 Never Won An Election
 "We have had steering com mittees in the republican party for the rast 15 years and have never won an election" declared one leading republican this morn ing. Tt is time that the actual workers of the party be given an opportunity to go honestly into the primaries and into the con- ventions and pick a slate of can didates that will Win."

Disaster Gro1us As

disaster might prove worse than the Belle Glade hurricane of 1928 that took 2,000 lives and all but destroyed Miami.
 More than 800 veterans, em- ployed by the EZRA, had been en- gagged on a road-making project from the mainland to Key West. at the very end of the chain of is- lands that form the Keys. The hurricane meantime, whirled at more than 70 miles an hour up Florida's west coast, passing over the rich-fruit-growing areas of Lee. Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee and HillsboEough counties.
 At last reports the storm was 80 miles north of Tampa. Residents along the west coast, informed through press reports of the hurri- cane's fury to the south, "battened down" to meet the shock of the "blow". All shipping in the area was suspended.
 All Agencies at Work
 All the resources of national, state and private relief agencies were mobilized to aid the stricken zone. The army, the navy, the na- tional Red Cross and state groups rushed rescue parties to the Keys.
 The horror of the scenes in the Keys was graphically related to the United Press by Harry Gaskin. a veteran employed on the Meta combe project. Brought to Jack son Memorial hospital here, Kas- kin, bruised and lacerated, told of seeing the hurricane lift hospi- tai 50 feet into the air and deposit it in a heap three blocks away. He believed the death toll in some of the camps would be exceedingly high.
 It was impossible for the present to estimate the number of injured, but officials feared the figure would run into the hundreds.
 Many Places silent
 Many communities on the Keys, particularly Islamorado and lower Metacombe, had not been heard from but on the basis of accounts by survivors, officials feared the death toll is possibly great"
 At Tavernier, on Key Largo nearest the mainland. the Red Cross estimated at least 100 killed.
 The coast guards first estimate of dead at veterans camp num- Der l, on upper Metacombe Key, was 75. But Undertaken Jack Combs estimated it as between 400 and 500.
 Marathon reported one dead.
 Ten were reported killed on Plantation Key.
 Scenes Of Horror
 First eyewitness reports from the low-lying chain of land dots extending from the mainland to Key West all told of scenes of the greatest horror. Red Cross officials received report from Tavernier, a tiny fishing hamlet on Key Lar go, that 100 died there. Seemingly authentic reports from Rock Har- Dor on Metacombe Key said 75

 Okay at Tampa
 Washington, September 4 - (UP) American Red Cross headquarters were informed today that everything is okay" at Tam pa, Fla, but that St. Petersburg appeared to have been cut off from communication as a result of the hurricane.
 George Myer, Red Cross repre- sentative at Tampa, said he had been unable to communicate with St. Petersburg. He said he and an assistant planned to journey to the city.

Matthew Cak continued
to hold impregnable Tren.
Gin stronghold TO his death
March 18, 1921. The Slow
axis failed to gain a pernla-
nent independence from
Hungary. Matthew Cak was
a man of iron will a very
good soldier and an inde-
fatigable worker. At one
time a Papal Delegate Gen
tilis called him "Pili mi -
My SON.; some time later
this same dignitary called
him a snake a rebel, the
plunderer of the countrs',
the pillager of Church pro-
| perty - and exco:nm lnicat-
ed him that he might not
receive christian burial.
Matthew Cak,, records show,
was not a SLOVAK; he fa-
vored and preferred the Slo-
vaks, because they were We
ry loyal to him and even put
their lives into his hands.
They were his support and
his power rested in them.
He ruled them with an iron
hand, but rewarded the To-
yal handsomely. Those were
the days of hard fists, and
Matthew Cak's fist was ve-
ry, very hard! The people
of Trenein Jared we'll dur
ing Cak's reign, but suffer
ed immensely and lost all
privileges granted by former
rulers after his death. /: is
hard to believe that Matth-
ew Cak fought for the Slo-
yak cause and not for the
great Matthew himself. Yet
the people indulge in men
tioning his name with q cer-
tain amount of pride and
joy, because under him they
had an independence I'm
known since the great Sva-
topluk of the Great Mora
Wan Empire. Indeed, Matth.
ew was "the lord of the Yah
and the Tatras!"

THE STORY OF THE SLOVAKS
BY P. A. HROBAK.

the Slavonlc Liturgy intro
duced by the SITS. Cyril and
Method was still in use.
Louis died in 1882, his wi
dow ruled for five years,
then her son Zigmund, son
Of Charles ". Of Bohemia,
became King of Hungary,
while Vaclav w., Zigmund's
brother, ruled over Bohemia.
The brothers also became
German Emperors: Vaclav
from 1878 to 14l1, and Zig
mund from 1411 10 1887.
The house of Luxemherg
was at it's height. Charles w.,
their illustrious father, had
founded the University of
Prague in 1348; it soon be-
came an outstanding school
and was attended by scho-
lars from all parts OF Eu-
rope including Slovakia.
When St. Stephen became
ruler of Hungary, Latin was
adopted as the language of
the country; Latin was SYM
bolic with nobility. Slovak
was spoken in the home, but
rarely used as a met.ium Of
literature. At this time b.
hemian did not differ from
the Siovak even as much as
it does today; every Slovak
understood it and could
speak it fairly well. Some Of
the Slovak scholars from
Prague University began to
use the Czech as a medium
of writing as did also most
Of the Slovak converts to the
teaching of John Hus. The
latter were scattered ard
few; ths Slovaks las ma.
ton continued to use THEN

ty letters written in Czech
in Zigmund's time are still
preserved.
John Hus was appointed
rector of the University ol
Prague in 1902; he lecturee
in Czech and subsequently
sermonized against the de
rravities and vices of tn.
period also in Czech. Will
Hus the dormant national
istic spirit of the Czechs
and to some extent that o,
the Slovaks also, was arous
cd to a high pitch. Conse
