ever we put them"
The Weather Bureau, however,
cited it's reports as ample warn
ing" of the intensity and danger
of the approaching storm as early
as last Sunday.
It was recalled in this connec--
ton that in both the 1925 and
1928 hurricanes the majority of
the deaths were blamed on the
failure to remove people from the
danger section in time. In each
case the failure was attributed to
lack of sufficient warning.
The Florida American Legion
has an effective emergency organ
ization and was reported to have
been prepared in this instance to
clear the men from the camps in
the keys.
The TACT that the veterans re.
lief train encountered the full
forced of the storm and was
wrecked before it could remove
the workers was cited as evidence
that it was started at the last mo.
ment, instead of in ample time to
bring out storm refugees.
Mr.. Hopkins declined to admit
that failure to clear the camps
was chargeable to his aides. He
denied that there had been any
negligence on the part of his or,
ganization. He said the camps
were directly under the Florida
State relief organization, although
he made it clear no criticism Of
this group was intended.
Meanwhile it was expected that
a demand for congressional action
would result in an investigation by
House or Senate members at a
later date, thus intensifying the
political reaction.

Encouraged by the recent trend

TENDER IS to map preliminary
plans for the 1886 campaign
against Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The executive committee Of the
party, comprising a score of party
stalwarts, has been summoned to
meet on that date by National
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher.
Significantly enough, the Re
publicanS will gather at about
the time Mr.. Roosevelt sets out
on his trans-continental tour,
which is widely accepted as the
beginning of the Roosevelt cam

gress of the President through

not plan to let him command all
the public attention at that time.
but to set up a show of their own
to coincide with his journey.
First Gathering in Year
The Republican meeting will be
the first gathering Of the party
leaders since the disastrous off
year election of 1884, which saw
the Democrats perform the politi-
cal miracle of increasing their al
ready heavy majoritieS in both
branches of Congress. Since that
debacle Republican hopes have
been at low ebb.
Financial Outlook Good
The outlook for financing Is
excellent. So-called "big business"
and great wealth" are described
in inner Republican circles as
being so sore at the Roosevelt
Administration because of it's re-
strictive business and tax legis-
lation that they are eager and
willing to finance the fight against
Mr.. Roosevelt.

mittee is composed almost en-
tirely of orthodox regulars" The
insurgent wing of the party, as
represented by Senator Borah of
Idaho, Senator Nye of North
Dakota, and others, who have been
demanding through reorganization
of the party machinery and the
ousting of Fletcher as chairman,
are not represented on the COM
mittee.

to be determined, and burial will
take place in a national cemetery
not yet decided upon. Ranking
officials Of the Army, Navy, Ma

will attend.
Miami officials today issued an
order that no more bodies were
to be brought here until they
are encaSed in steel caskets. The
order was a health precaution,
taken because of the condition OF
many of the bodies.
It had been proposed that the
bodies be cremated on the Keys,
but plans for q public mass fune-

etery were decided upon after a
request was received from Presi-
dent Roosevelt that none Of the
bodies of veterans be cremated.
U. S. Sends 100000
Speeding it's efforts to rehabili-

area, the Federal Government to-
day transmitted 100000 to Cover

gency relief funds of this amount
was sent to the governor by Relief
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins
who indicated the Government
would go the limit" in bringing
succor to the devastated area.
Federal rehabilitation activities
will be modified under Assistant
Relief Administrator Aubrey Will

storm area by Mr.. Hopkins. The
Federal funds will be administered
by the governor and Mr.. williams.
In addition, the Veterans Blu

for two days, supposedly on a
vacation. But it was learned that
when he left his office he made
the cryptic remark:
"Karpis must be TAKEN"
Attired in a natty gray suit
and wearing Panama hat, Mr..
Hoover left his office and has
not been seen there since. 1t
was learned, however, that he is

wealthy st. Paul banker and held
him for $4,000 ransom. But the
Omen have captured or killed
every member of the gang except
the leader.
While Mr.. Hoover was on the
hunt for KarpiS, it was also
learned that he has turned down
a $4,000 radio contract.

him a 26-week radio contract at

matches, gas masks and other
equipment necessary to find and

Gov. Dave Sholtz's personal
representative in the storm area,
w. P. Mooty, estimated the death
toll at 1000 in a report to the
governor, but there was no sub

total on the basis of bodies actu-

was decried by L. K. Thompson,
