STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Calif August 11— A new path
way. at the end of which may
stand the White House, was open
ed today to Herbert Hoover.
From the far corners of the Na
tion men and women of great and \
snv. ll degree came to bid him I
Godspeed upon the journey rout- !
eri for him by the Republican;
party.
The setting for his official noti-!
fication and for the delivery' of his j
first message to the voters of I
America was of his own choosing, j
here among the hills where he
won the first struggles of an
orphaned boyhood.
Moses Brings Message.
The scene itself was laid in a i
vast bowl erected long after he !
had completed his owm school j
days at this picturesque univer- j
sity. and affording room for a |
crowd far exceeding in numbers :
any that has attended a similar j
ceremony in this country.
The official message itself was brought;
bv Senator George H. Moses of New ’
¥ mpshire. permanent chairman of the
convention which nominated him at
Kansas City nearly two months ag-*,
and chairman of the notification com
mittee made up of representatives of
•very State in the Union
Hoover had selected the governor of
his adopted State. C. C Young, "as mas
ter of ceremonies. To him went the
honor of presenting the committee
chairman who had prepared, perhaps.:
one of the shortest notification speeches i
on record—one that would require only;
eight minutes for delivery.
At its conclusion massed bands were j
to play the national anthem, and Hoo- '
vtr was then to launch into his speech j
of acceptance, breaking the silence self- j
imposed since he had won the highest j
honors it is within the power of his
party to impose.
Will Outline Views.
In his speech the nominee was ex
pected to outline his views on what he
regards as the major issues of the cam- j
paign. and interpreting the chief planks j
of the party—thos dealing with prohi-j
feition enforcement and farm relief. j
Besides the thousands who will j
face the nominee and hear his voice j
through a system of loud speakers in
stalled over the special platform at the |
east end of the stadium, untold other j
thousands will listen in on the radio. j
The speech will be carried from coast
to coast and border to border through j
a chair, of more than 100 stations.
In addition to the notification com- :
rmttee, officials of the Republican na- \
tional committee, including Dr Hubert
Work, the chairman will be gathered
on the speakers' platform, while other
party leaders will be seated in places j
esp daily reserved in a nearby section
of 'he athletic bowl
Surrounded by members of his fam
ily from this and other States and
house guests, the nominee spent the
morning quietly, awaiting the hour :
when he and Mrs. Hoover would leave
home lor the stadium, a mile or more j
across the campus, Sate in the after- i
noon.
Anticipating an almost record crowd,
university officials ordered Die stadium
gates opened at noon, nearly four hours
before the beginning of the speaking.
Entertainment Is Arranged.
A somewhat elaborate program had
been arranged for the * ntretainment of
the early arrivals, with daredevil
stunt* by pilots of private airplanes, i
which began arriving here yesterday
from various parts of the State.
The planes were allotted two hours
from noon for their appearance over
the stadium, but after that and with
the beginning of a daylight fireworks
display, they were under orders to keep
outside a radius of two miles, so that
there would be no possibility for the
dronings of their propellers to inter
fere v.;th the speeches
Police planes were on hand to see
that this regulation was obeyed.
'California" wsl) be played by the
massed bands as the Secretary and Mrs
Hoover enter the bow) in an automobile,
accompanied bv Gov and Mrs Young
arid Senator and Mrs Moses. As soon
as they hav< entered the stand the
cer-rnonier will get under way.
After hi? notification the Republican
noniir.ee will remain here only five days,
leaving nex* Thursday night for Wash

HURRICANE SPENDS
ITS FURY ON COAST
Touth Carolina Feels Waning
Power of Gale—Parts of
Florida Flooded.
By the Associated tress,
j ATLANTA, Gtl August 11. The
I storm which orig nated almost a week 1
! ago as a tropical hurricane in Die !
: Caribbean was sluggishly uncoiling itself |
along the South Carolina coast today. ,
j while parts of Florida, worst sufferer j
: along a capricious path of destruction, j
; still labored under the scourge of flood j
| waters.
In the 19-mile stretch between the !
| Florida Power Corporation's huge dam ,
at Irglis. Fla., and the Gulf 200 fam
ilies were evacuating their homes under j
a warning that one of the flood gates j
of the structure would be lowered late !
today to avert disaster.
Necessity of the step became apparent !
when the lake behind the dam, bur- j
dened by the steadily rising Withla- j
cocchee River, mounted claser toward
the loot of depth between safety and
danger. While it was believed by W. C. j
Howell, assistant production manager in j
charge of the constant watch at the j
dam. that only one open gate would j
iclieve the situation, all three will be j
lowered if necessary. The danger point
is expected between 4 and 5 p.m. today.
Part of Town to Suffer.
Part of the town of Inglis will suffer
from miner inundation, it was said, and
a power plant below the dam and major ;.
nlant will be flooded. It was believed j
that current could ,be furnished by !
hooking into other lines operated by j
the corporation in this territory, how- j
ever.
While Florida generally began to t
■ emerge from the discomfiture occa
! stoned by ihe storm, still another spot [
I :m the east coast around the north end .
1 of Lake Okeechobee on the fringe of j
, the Everglades was bearing a heavy |
j burden of flood water. Although the
j muddy sheet oi water was subsiding, a
i road between Okeechobee City and the
i v a ke was dvnamited last night to di
vert the water from 1.000 fertile acres
west of the town. Already a 30-mile
i stretch between Okeechobee and the
! east coast near Jupiter was a solid sheet
of slowly receding water. Red Cross
: officials at Palm Beach had sent sev - j
; eral rescue expeditions into the area j
| and fed with difficulty a hundred or
more refugees who had been stranded
i on high ground.
Damage in the area was believed to
! be m excess of that caused by the 1926
hurricane, although limited almost ex
j clusively to flood conditions. Fear for
| the safety of four men reported miss
: ing in the Okeechobee area subsided j
when the men were found. No major
: casualties resulted in the territory.
Highways Repaired.
Elsewhere in the State, highways were I
being repaired, homes re-roofed and the ;
situation generally was approaching i
normal Damage to citrus crops in the i
rich central area ranged around the 25
per cent mark in spots., although not ;
yet definitely estimated. While no 1
deaths were reported as a result of the ;
storm in Florida, there was still no word i
! of Robert Holland, former British Roy- ;
al Flying Corps aviator and a com- j
panion. who left Nassau Wednesday for j
j the mainland It was believed they j
| perished. , . i
Alone the path of the storm is south
Georgia, north Georgia and South Car*-
olina, it was a story of wrecked com
munication lines, unroofed homes and
potential food conditions There came
reports of seven casualties, all persons
caught in storm-flattened homes.
The storm, which struck Florida Tues
day morning from the southeast and
i crossed the cent ral part of that State
Wednesday, spent Thursday darting
about the Gulf of Mexico. Yesterday it
began curving northeastward and soon
, was taking a destructive course through
south Georgia.
It had diminished in intensity, how
ever, and the destruction was corre
spondingly less through that section, A
gale of 30 to 40 miles velocity jar hour,
however, was accompanied by dreneh
. mg rains and as a consequence, tlx
towns of Moultrie, Thomasvilie and
Macon suffered consldt rabie damage.
Flood warnings were issued along the
Ocmulgce and Chaitahoochte Rivers,
while highways were torn up, communi
cations disrupted and trains delayed
•by rerouting because of washouts
Fight and one-half inches of rain fell
: al Macon in 15 hours.
Seven Persons Hurt.
Then uncoiling as it progressed, the
'storm skipped into north Georgia and

40 Lots—Further Expansion

The deal for development of the Pat
ten-on tract on Florida avenue north
east, just west of the Columbia Institu
tion for the Deaf, as a market; center
was closed today.
The first unit, a $600,000 develop
ment. under the contract, calls for im
mediate erection of stores on 40 lots,
to be occupied as soon as completed,
j The title has been "ordered,” the j
cash deposit made, the contract signed I
and the subdivision of the property filed, ;
i It was a direct deal between a com
mittee representing a group of com
; mission merchants and the owners of
the property, the Winslow heirs.
Expansion Provided For.
While the entire Patterson Tract,
! long sought as a park and recreation
; center for the northeast section of the !
! city, with legislation authorizing its j
| acquisition pending before Congress foi i
more than 10 years, comprises 80 acres, j
| this initial purchase contains about 2
; acres, but the plans provide for con-
I tinued expansion and development.
The plan of subdivision of the pro-
I perty is almost identical with the draw
! ing printed in The Star more than two
! years ago. when this location was first
: considered for a general market center
| Locations are charted for a farmers’ j
market, a center market on Florida ave-;
! nue and all the other branches of a ;
i model market center properly co-ordin- ,
ated and correlated.
Space for Farmers Market.
The contracts call for structures to j
j be immediately erected on all of the 40 :
! lots that have been purchased. Some !
of these stores or warehouses will oc- j
i cupy several lots, for example, the!
] Joseph Phillips Sons & Co., intend to j
put up a $200,000 building.
The property acquired by the com- >
mission men is on the west side of i
Fifth street, but does not run west as
far as the railroad right of way.
Space is reserved, in addition to that j
for the Farmers' Market , and the Center
Market for a cold storage plant, and
for feed and grain dealers, hotel sup
| plies, dairy products, etc., each in rela-
I tively proper location for the efficient
| operation of a market center.

The forecast is for slightly cooler j

The cool weather was brought on, he

SMITH GIVEN HOPE
OF TAKING ILLINOIS
Hears Favorable Reports on
Trip to Chicago—Returns
to Albany.
| By ihr Associated Press
ALBANY, N. Y„ August 11 —At an
hour this morning when ordinarily he
still would have been sound asleep, Gov.
Smith got back to Albany from Chi
j cago, where he attended the funeral
of George E. Brennan, Illinois Demo- j
cratic leader.
Confronted with the task of whipping j
j his acceptance speech into final form, j
the Democratic presidential nominee
i went from the train to the executive
' mansion, where he planned during the j
; fifty and over the week end to apply j
himself to that job. The governor also ;
was expected, with members of his fam
ily, to listen in there this evening to
the address of his rival. Herbert Hoover,
at the Republican nominee's notification
in California.
Optimistic Over Illinois.
Although he went to Chicago on a
nonpohtical mission, Smith received
fragmentary reports during chats there
with various party leaders as to the out
look in the Middle West, particularly
in Illinois. Floyd E. Thompson, Demo
cratic nominee for governor, was among
those most optimistjc about the chances
of carrying Illinois In November.
I As he passed through northern Indi
ana and Ohio late yesterday and last
1 night. Gov. Smith, in accordance with
his wishes, was met by no political lead
ers. At the few stations at which his
train stopped, however, he was greeted j
by crowds of varying sizes, and as a j
rule stepped from the train to shake
hands and exchange pleasantries, minus
his coat and vest and wearing bedroom
slippers.
Although there was a tendency to
keep politics to the background during
the trip, the Democratic nominee was
able during his journey to discuss
strategy and plans with two men active
ly identified with his campaign- Mayor
Frank Hague of Jersey City, who is a
vice chairman of the Democratic na
tional committee and an intiinatet
friend of the governor, and James J.
Hoey of New York, one of the members
of his campaign executive committee
Both were travel companions of the
nominee, along with William F, Kenny,
who is a New York millionaire, and in
whose private car the governor traveled;
: James J. Riordan another New York
I friend, and Smith's son Arthur.
Debate Also on Hand.
On his return to Albany, which for
the present is his campaign seat, the
governor had before him not only many
j hours of work polishing off his accept*
I ance speech which will be delivered
j here a week from Wednesday evening,
| but decisions on other campaign de
| velopments.
Among these were the question of a
! debate on his political career with Dr.
i John Roach Slraton, Baptist minister j
|of New York, which Smith himself j
I proposed should lie held in StratonY, j
I church, and which the clergyman has;
I suggested he laid also in St. Patrick's!
I Cathedral In New York The governor
I is expected to adhere to his original
| challenge -one meeting and that in
J the church where Dr Straton charged
i the nominee was the greatest foe to
! moral progress in America.

Chicagoan Helps Atlantan
With Worthless Warrant
Get Daughter Back
1 By ths Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 11.—East is East
and West is West, and never the twain
shall meet; but North and South is a
different story.
They met yesterday in the sheriff’s
office Dr. Word Red wine of Atlanta,
Ga„ 'B4, and Charles Peters, chief
| deputy sheriff of the County of Cook,
| 111.
Dr Redwine had a warrant for Dr.
Carl Stuart-Chatham of Chicago. It
charged that the Chicagoan had driven
aw r ay from Atlanta in an automobile
that didn't belong to him. It wasn’t the
automobile Dr. Redwine wanted, how
ever; it was his daughter, wno haa
eloped with Dr. Stuart-Chatham.
“We might replevin the automobile,"
suggested Chief Deputy Peters, “but we
could hardly replevin your daughter.
The warrant is worthless in this State.”
T am from the South, sir," said Dr.
Redwine. “This is an affair of honor.
Dr. Stuart-Chatham is twice my daugh
ter’s age. He has had two other wives.
I have come to take my daughter
home.”
Chief Deputy Peters cogitated. An
hour later Dr. Redwine and a deputy
confronted Dr. and Mrs. Stuart-Chat
ham.
“You are going home with me.” said
Dr. Redwine to his daughter as she
flung both arms around his neck.
‘She is not,” interposed Dr. Stuart-
Chatham. "You're not in the South
now.”
“No.” interrupted the deputy, darkly,
j “but you might be headed that way,”
| whereupon he displayed his star and
i flashed the worthless warrant.
That was how it was arranged. Just
before leaving for Atlanta with his
daughter last night Dr. Redwine paid
his compliments to Chief Deputy Peters.
“Your ways are different in the
North,” he said, "but I must confess
that in an affair of honor you Yankees
I are go-getters, sir.”

. ! CEDAR ISLAND LODGE. Brule
j River. Wis., August 11.—F%'sident
Coolidge does not look for any reduc
• | tion in the Army and Navy of the
United States as. a result of the partiri
!; nation in the proposed Kellogg niulti
. j lateral peace treaty to outlaw war.
He has been devoting careful atten
. j tion to separating the national defense
| policy of this country from any en
• | taglements with Secretary Kellogg’s pro-
I ; posed treaty. According to his interpre
. j tation of the provisions of this peace
j proposal, as revealed by him to friends,
its primary aim is to prevent aggres
: sion and attack on the part of sigr.a
--| tory nations and therefore cannot con
cern an army and navy of the moderate
: I size maintained by this country solely
> i for national defense. Nor can Presi-
I I dent Coolidge conceive of any objec-
I tion which the League of Nations could
' have to its members becoming signa
-1 lories to the Kellogg treaty, inasmuch
j as the League is, by its owm claims, an
I instrument of peace. These fundament
j al reactions of the President were re
| vealed following published accounts of
f j the move on the part of Great Britain
j to bring the Kellogg international peace
»i plan to the attention of the League of
[ Nations. The President gave the im
| pression that he did not welcome the
II news ot this action on the part of the
j British.
Seen as League Test.
| The President assumes, however, that
| Great Britain’s action in referring the
i treaty to the League was merely a mat
i ter of general interest to ail League
; members. Nevrtheless. this move can
i be accepted in the light of tending to
confront the United States with the
; | League of Nations by precipitating a
. | declaration concerning the Kellogg
. | treaty, in principle, the latter contains
j all the peace aspirations claimed for
. j the League without any of its mechan
. j :sm and entanglements. Therefore, the
l j President cannot see how the League
r I can do anything else but approve of
, j the Kellogg plan.
In his rather candid discussion of the
j subject, the President was represented
;as .eeling that many serious-minded
* citizens of this country have viewed
, the League as something else potentially
I than an instrument of peace, and would
regard the League’s attitude toward the
Kel.ogg proposal as a genuine test of
its peaceful nature. Moreover, so far
as any objection to the Kellogg pact
Is concerned, it may be recalled that the
League has not yet raised a voice against
the scheme and that the initiative of
J' ar outlawry program sprang from
of M ’ Br ’* and - French foreign
a motivating figure in the
r councils of the League
Then too. under article 20 of the
I covenant, if the League finds the treaty
I S'ffS.'h "" h ? «™ «J£e3ta&
, 01 the mechanics of peace, it mav
j nounce it and thereby cancel ir in so
I tar as League members are concerned.
i. was evident in the representations
I made as to the President’s attitude that
t !he only purpose he could see in the
apparently premature presentation of
; the Kellogg pact to the League was to
| interest member nations and the United
I States. He has not at present any
information from the State Depart
| ment concerning such additional signs
! fortes, specifically of Spain and Russia,
j although he is understood to have been
j advised that Secretary Kellogg was con*
i sidering additions.
Considers Defense.
Considerably more interest was
focused on the President's reaction re
garding the possible effect upon the
size of the Army and Navy of the
United States if it participates m the
Kellogg pact than in the reference of
the plan to the League. The fact that
he regards the treaty as applicable only
I tneagerlv. if at all. to American national
defense quickly drew comment, in view
of the cherished ideal of ultimate world
peace and also the constant discussion
of disarmament.
It was explained in the President's
■ behalf that he looks upon the armed
; forces of the United States as entirely
| a defense weapon, intended solely for
protection of this country. It is noth*
i ing more than a national police force,
: according to his viewpoint Further*
i more, because the Kellogg treaty is
i basically a compact against attack, he
, argues that it is unconcerned with the
i detense program of any signatory na
| tion.
It was made plain by the President
I that it would be far better to see the
j peace treaties signed and ratified before
j entering upon any discussion of hypo*
* :hetleal conditions. While he antic!*
| pates virtually no reduction of the
American Army and Navy, even If the
i treaty becomes an accomplished fact,
he holds it futile to discuss such a
question before the treaty is actually a
living thing President Coolidge was
represented as seeing no reason at this
time to display any interest m the
announcement of a naval agreement
