Winds Ebb at Miami.
At pm, the winds in Miami had
ebbed to SO m.p.h.
The highest unoffcially reported
winds at West Palm Beach we're
about so mp.h.
The hurricane swirled across the
Florida keys and at 5:45 o'clock, its
center was in Florida Bay, about so
miles north of Tavernier, a little
fishing village at the southeastern
tip of Key Largo.
The Weather Bureau at midnight
reported that the big blow, located
so miles southwest of Fort Myers
was losing force in passing over
land. but added that interests on
the Georgia coasts should be on the
alert Sunday for possible redevelop-
ment of the storm as it curves to the
northeast.
Ninety-nine mile winds roared
through Miami and Miami Beach at
6:32 pm, smashing plate glass,
carrying away colorful beach ca
banas, lifting roofs off a few build
ings, overturning automobiles and
flooding deserted Collins avenue
along the ocean front.
Fear Felt for Crops.
Fears that South Florida's multi
million dollar citrus and avocado
crops would be destroyed were ex-
pressed. Many fruit trees were up
rooted. A number of Miami's streets
were blocked by fallen trees.
The police department halted all
traffic over the three causeways
connecting Miami and Miami
Beach, to prevent motorists from
being blown into Biscayne Bay
During the great Miami hurricane
of 1926, when 327 persons died and
6,327 were injured, many of the
dead were lost by venturing out on
the causeways as the storm center
passed giving treacherous lull.
Public buildings including schools
police stations, post Offices and mo-
ton picture theaters were thrown
open as emergency storm shelters
for hundreds in virtually every
South Florida city.
More than 1000 Red Cross work
ers were on the job, some in dan
gerous spots. Gene Hall of Miami
letter carrier and Red Cross vol
unteer, carried an emergency radio
transmitted into the storm at Key
Largo.

Mr.. Jones never told Elliott what

out of the country on military duty
from about the time of the settle

nor his lawyer ever knew the amount
Mr.. Jones paid Mr.. Hartford and
Mr.. Baird until the information was
published.
Mr.. Jones received the pledged
stock from Mr.. Hartford and Mr.
Baird and turned it over to the
Presidents secretary, Miss Grace
Tully. for safekeeping.
Early in 1914, Ruth Goggins
Roosevelt and Elliott were divorced
In the property settlement one-hali
of the pledged stock went to the
wife. The other half was placed
in trust for the children. Elliott
said he has no interest in the stock
and has never received any benefit
from it.

is reported to have improved ma
terially and the stock increased ir

Soviet Demands Expected

plan for Italy's colonies, it also
told the deputies to take into con-
siderstion views of the other dele
cations.
The council said the deputies were
asked to submit recommends lions
two weeks before a date-to be
agreed on later-of a second ses-
sion of the foreign ministers.
This indicated the council has
decided it will be unable to COM

During the discussions the council
had before it the colonial claims
of Britain, Egypt, Ethiopia, Greece
and possibly Russia.
The report on the Turkish note
concerning the Dardanelles came
from French Foreign Office source
in Paris. There was no official con-
flrmation from Ankara or at the
council here.
The Swiss radio carried a SINH
lar account, saying Turkey favored
control of the Dardanelles by the
Big Five, rather than transferring
their administration to Russia.
Russia was understood to favor
control of the Dardanelles by the
powers on the Black Sea-Russia,
Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey
md to have demanded control of
the Dodecanese Islands, which
guard the southern approaches to
the Dardanelles.

that all thought for the moment OF

boarded the Boston bound train
Pete would turn and head for home.
