vanced by A. c. McInnis, operator of a South St. Paul, Minn., flying service. He was enroute here in a ski-eQuipped plane and said that if all other attempts fail, he would try to set his ship down on the peak. Such @ stunt, flyers agreed, would be even riskier than Hop- kins' jump was.
 Hopkins jumped by parachute from a planeSto the 100 by 300 foot tower top last Wednesday as pulp licity stunt for a forthcoming at- tempt to break the world consecu- tive jump record.
 He apparently was quite comfort able in his prison. Planes have dropped him plentiful supplies os food and fuel. He was living in 8 tent.
 His messages to the ground-cut off since last night by high winds were cheery, much more So than were the comments of forest ran- gers and Hopkins friends who ad- mitted concern.
 Friday Ernest K. Field and War rel Gorrell, the United States Park Services best climbers, tried to scale the peak. They were still trying when snow halted their efforts yes- terday.
 They were joined today by Jack Durrance, 29. former Dartmouth university Alpinist. who climbed the Tower in 1888, and who with Mer- Till McClaln and Henry Coulter, also of Dartmouth, flew here from New York to aid. Also present was Chapel Cramner, Denver climber. Field and GoFrell said their asSlst- ance may turn the trick, if the weather improves.

 By Judge Conway

Herbert Hager, 2l, of 30 Gates avenue, waived examination on a charge of automobile homicide in municipal court today and was bound over to the next session of criminal superior court by Judge T.. E. Conway. A &i 1000 band previously posted by the accused was continued pending arraignment in the higher court.
 A charge of reckless driving which has been preferred against Hager was nolled when Q warrant on the homicide count was lodged against him.
 Hager was found, guilty in a flnd- ing issued by Deputy Coroner Miles F. McNiff, Jr., in connection with the death of Arthur Frageau, 66, of 392 Sylvan avenue, fatally injured August 25 as he walked toward his home. As q result of his injuries, Frageau died later in St. Mary,s hospital.

 According to Sergeant Joseph Petit and Charles McWeeney who investigated the accident, Frageau with within about 50 feet south of the Washington Park Community House when the automobile driven by Hager attempted to pass Molleur, but Frageau suddenly loomed up be- fore Hager who applied his brakes. Hager was quoted by police as say. ing that when n attempted to stop his car the vehiclN swung about and struck the man.

at Jackson Memorial hospital here, and two at Dade County hospital at Kendall. St Francis hospital at Miami Beach was without light or power.
 Authorities, having been warned well Tn advance by the Federal Hur- ricane Warning Service, had taken every precaution and 1t was believed that few if any, lives would be lost anywhere in the hurricanes path, This section Is hurricane wise. On September IS, 1926. a hurricane kill. ed 37S persons in the Miami area. In September, 1885,, hurricane killed 4S0 persons in the Florida Keys.
 All through the night, refugees played cards and amused themselves otherwise in the Dade County court house, a steel and stone building, safe in any wind. Hundreds of others were in hotels and business buildings, having boarded up the windows of their homes. There were hurricane" parties in bars and ho- tel rooms throughout the night and in hotel lobbies, groups sat around. calmly listening to radio broadcasts.
 At Homestead, 26 miles south of here, were several hundred persons from the Keys, scene of the last devastating Florida hurricane. Other Key residents had taken refuge in concrete storm shelters erected by the federal government since the last "big blow"
 Miami Beach, which bore the brunt of the 1926 storm, was virtual ly deserted, its residents having made their homes as secure as posv sible and then taken refuge here. Miami is on the landward side of Biscayne Bay and therefore more protected.
 The weather bureau reported the maximum sustained wind velocity as 63 miles an hour, reaching 75 miles an hour and more in gusts.
 The barometer reached its lowest point-2a.38-here at a. m. when the wind velocity was at its highest. The barometer then began to rise and the velocity to diminish.
 The weather bureau reported that the center of the storm had crossed the coast between Miami and Home- stead. At 5:45 a. m, officials of the Chandler Packing Company at Goulds, midway between Miami and Homestead, reported a dead calm there-indicating that at that mo- ment Goulds was in the very center of the storm. 4 hurricane is cy- clonic storm and at its center there is always dead calm.
 Police and fire departments in all municipalities in the storms path were organized for any emergency. A fleet of 20 patrol cars, equipped with two-way radio, waited at police headquarters here for orders that would dispatch them to the area of greatest need. The American Legion and other veterans organizations prepared to go to work immediately after the hurricane had passed.
 The storm reached 1O2 miles an hour at Nassau, Bahamas, at 2 o'clock (EST) last night. No casual ties were reported from the Haha- milan capital which did not receive the direct center.
 Bay street. Nassau's main thor oughfare, was under 6 foot and c half Of water ct one time. A schooner four sloops and a dozen emaller carft were washed up into the street by huge waves which lifted them oVer tlle seawall.

 The First Army has troops from all New England and the Middle states plus District of Co., lumbia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennesse, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana including eight com- bat divisions of our thirty-three.
 The Germans have 300 divisions their Allies half as many more. Almost all are war-experienced, which means they are tougher and cleverer than any rl1aneuver. experienced troops.
