The Star to Receive Contributions for Hurricane Victims The Star will receive contribu- tions from the public for the re- lief of the hundreds of thousands of homeless men, women and children who are threatened with starvation ,and disease in Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Florida and other regions in the path of the West Indian hurricane. To start the list, The Star has con- tributed $1,000. All _contributions received by The. Star will be acknowledged and turned over to the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross, which in turn will send the money 0 na- tional Red Cross headquarters for use in the storm-stricken areas. As the gravity of conditions in the wake of one of the most destructive West, Indian hurricanes in history be- came increasingly apparent today, with the recelpt of every dispatch from Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Florida, the people of Washington joined the rest of the Nation in raising a hurri- cane relief fund, for which it is thus far impossible to fix a limit, but which will surely run into millions of dollars. President Coolidge, while directing the Army, Navy, Public Health Service and other Government agencies to ex- tend aid without stint, has taken the lead in the appeal for funds in this “overwhelmmng disaster” by issuing a proclamation to the American people both in his ‘capacity as President of the United States and president of the American Red Cross. Washington’s quota has been -tenta- tively fixed at $40,000, but Victor Dey- ber, chairman of the disaster committee of the District chapter of the Red Cross, announced this morning that the amount ‘may be increased. Money re- ceived by the local chapter will be turned over to national headquarters for disbursement. Mr. Deyber expects the people of the Capital to respond with their usual alacrity to this appeal. He is already in communication with local theater managers and expects to have girls| stationed in the theaters to receive con- tributions. Subscriptions may be sent to The Star y or to Mr. Deyber at the uptown branch j ‘oi the Second National Bank, 1333 G | street.

Will Ask Full Amount. Auditor Donovan explained that when the Commissioners appear before the bud- get bureau in October to defend the es- timates they will hold that the District should be allowed the full amount of $42,300,000, as this figure wjll not re- quire any increase in the eral Gov- ernment’s $9,000,000 annual contribu- tion and will not necessitate a higher tax rate. Moreover, Donovan pointed out that the Budget Bureau gives the same serious ‘and earnest consideration to the supplemental items as it gives the regular estimates, and that there should be no alarm on the part of the school authorities over the fact that nearly $2,000,000 of the items included {in the school estimates have been desig- nated as supplemental. Donovan further explained that the $12,000,000 allotted the schools repre- sents a slight increase over the amount in the regular estimates of the last fiscal ear. In addition, he declared the school dget is about one-third of the total estimates of the District, excluding trust and special funds, which are not carried in the appropriation act, and if the budget bureau should transfer the $1,- 000,000 which the Commissioners desig- nated as supplemental to the regular es- timates, then the schools would get about 37 per cent of the total amount payable from tne general revenues of the District. This would put the schools in the position of getting the’ largest percentage of the total budget than ever before, Donovan said.

Police, however, although baffled in attempts to find the new hiding place, said they had names of six or more men implicated in the kidnaping episode. Billy was alive, they said, after 13 days | in the hands of men believed to be connected with other extortionist con- spiracies. Not until yesterday did police receive voluntary information from A. Frank Ranieri, father of the 10-year-old host- age. He told how he had paid $5,000 in ransom money to Angelo Petitto, a saloonkeeper, held with two others on kidnaping charges. | From a relative of Petitto, police said, | they learned that Juliano Romano and Pasquale La Rocco were in charge of the boy. Fear of punishment had caused orders to be issued that the lad be freed, he said, but members of the kidnaping clique w.re unable to notify Romano and La Rocco. By plecing stories together, police thered that Romano and La Rocco ihad taken the boy to a new spot un- known to their accomplices. Previous messages indicated Billy was held in ElLnwood Park. Three men were arrested last night when they picked up a decoy package resembling currency left by police at a spot designated by instructions received by Ranieri. Greece Plans to Tax Bachelors.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF HELD ONLY DEFENSE Thousands Cheer Nominee as Auto Cavalcade Passes Through Towns. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Staft Correspondent of The Star NEWARK, N. J., September 18-- Don't throw a monkey wrench into machinery. This, in the vernacular, is the plea which Herbert Hoover, Republican can- didate for President, is making to the industrial East. It was the theme of his address last night in the armory here. If the applause and enthusiasm which greeted the Republican nominee is any criterion, New Jersey will not lend its hand to Democracy’s effort to oust' the Republicans from control of ‘Lhe National Government. The Hoover trip is regarded by the Republican lead- ers here as a distinct success and an aid toward carrying the State. { Mr. Hoover's adt was directed frankly to the worker and the business man. In clear, every day English he pictured the “hook-up” which exists today in the industrial, agricultural and governmental life of the country. He insisted that wages and standards of i living are vitally affected whenever any of the wires are disconnected, so in- tricate is the machinery which gov- erns the whole. To his own party he gave the crdeit for foresight in the 'fnzmopmmt of the great structure of 1 ! reared in this country. To turn the Re- publicans out of power now, he said, \would be to hazard the entire struc- ture in the hands of a party which has battled against the protective tariff for i70 years, and to the protective tariff, the restrictive immigration laws, Hoover gave credit for holding hack ruinous foreign competition from American labor and industry today.
