While awaiting a response to its urgent cry for help, the city, with the aid of federal, state and other agencies, went doggedly ahead with its relief work. Thousands of doctors, nurses, soldiers, sail ors, marines and other relief workers labored to care for the in jured and the homeless and to re cover the dead still imprisoned in many of the 5,000 homes that were wrecked and in the debris littered waters of Biscayne t bay. The bodies are slowly being re covered.. Three more were taken to the morgue today, bringing the accounted for dead in. Miami alone to 97. Hundreds and hundreds were injured, many seriously, and they are being cared for In regu lar or emergency hospitals and re lief stations After five days of practical iso lation, Miami got into intermit tent communication with the world today through the Associ ated Press leased wire. Over that wire went an appeal for funds, and over it, too, was told for the first time some of the stirring scenes in those long hours when the storm lashed the southeastern Florida coast. Ambulances are still dashing about, their sirens blowing full blast. They go almost unnoticed, for they are no longer a curiosity. They signify, though, that another mangled body has been removed from a wrecked-building. The last five days of death, de struction and terror have been days of rumors, too. Wild reports fly with almost ' incredible swift ness. One rumor had It that the Mi ami Dally News tower was leaning at an angle of 20 degrees. r. That now celebrated dtflcey,"nowever, suffered only, slight damage and stands sentinel Over Miami's de vastated harbor. It bore the brunt of the storm well. All night Sat urday a small group of newspa per men in the tower worked fev erishly at telephones warning Miamians of the approaching hur ricane. The building was plunged into darkness before the tele phones failed. Then the storm raged in full fury. The dredge Savanah, anch ored in the harbor, played a search light on the hundreds of boats which floundered in the seas and finally were driven on the beach. Silently, the newspaper men kept their vigil in. the tower and watch ed the disaster. Before them un folded one of the greatest stories :n Florida's history, p.nd they were powerless to give the news to the v orld. With the lull in the storm the (Continued on pa;t 5.) . SALEM, OREGON, THURSPAX.TOBNINGSE iiiisill "Label Democrat on -Ticket Does Not Signify Any Principle," Plea LIQUOR BRAND IS ASKED Following Stanfield Precedent. Asks "Opioel to Prohibition" Be Tacked' After His Name The word "democrat" is a-misnomer as it relates to the candi dacy of George Putnam, Salem newspaper publisher, who at the primary election was nominated by his Bourbon constituents for the,, office of state senator for Marion county. Mr. Putnam, in a letter sent to the secretary of state yesterday, indicated that if Robert N. Stan- field, independent candidate lor United States senator, was allow ed to have a slogan printed after his name on the official ballot, he should be granted the same priv ilege. "When I filed my acceptance oi the democratic nomination , for state senator," read Mr. Putnam's letter, "I requested a slogan to follow my name on the ballot, but was informed by you that it was not permissable. In view of the supreme court ruling in the Stan field case, I renew my request that the slogan: 'opposed to pro hibition' be placed on the ballot after my name. "You will readily admit that the label democrat after a name does not in Oregon signify any principle and that the.voters have no way of finding out what the candidate stands for, any more than as if the word 'independent was writ ten after, his name. "With Governor Pierce at the head of the ticket labeled demo crat it would be a rational sup position to imagine that the word democrat stood for prohibition, which is contrary to my ideals of democracy and therefore conveys a false idea to the voters. "It would seem -that ia -my case words 'opposed to prohibition' ex press a political principle quite as definitely as the word democrat, and its use would inform the vot ers in a general way upon what particular political principle the candidate claims their suffrage." It was said that this is the fir3t time that a candidate nominate J at a primary election and subject to the provisions of the primary law, has raised the question fo having a slogan printed after hi name on the official ballot. Here tofore all party nominees result ing from the primary election have been limited to parly desig nation on the ballot at the Novem ber election. In the case of Stan field he was nominated by an as sembly of voters and not at the primary election. The secretary of state early lo day will refer Mr. Putnam's letter to the attorney general for a legal opinion. In event the attorney ( Continued en page 5.) STEALING AESOP'S STUFF v OLD RUDVARO'5 1 , Ilsfi Dr; Johm Martin1 'Carise : Pre-1 diets Conservative Policy For Present CO-OPERATION ASSURED Board of Trustees "of Theology Institution Will Meet in Oc tober to Determine College Plans "The policy .of the Kimball School of Theology will . be con earvatlve for the. time-being at least," it was stated yesterday af ternoon by Dr. John Martin Canse the institution's new president who arrived late yesterday, from Centralia, Wash., to begin his work of directing the college. "The work is all new to, me and I haven't been able yet to make much of an estimate of the situa tibn, so I will have to get ac quainted before doing much else I doubt if I can make any state ment as. to policyexcept that I ex pect to visit the Puget Sound and Columbia River conferences of the Methodist church with, the college interests in view. "It would seem that Kimball college can easily become a strong institute of its character, being the only theological institution of the Methodist church west of Chicago The policy will be to build it up to the point where It can conduct a strong, standard campaign of theology. I will be glad to -put my life into this task, although it is not one I had particularly sought. "I have received most hearty assurances of cooperation from both ministers and laymen in the work to be undertaken. I also like the hearty good will and re sponse I have met in three con ferences with former students and others connected with the school. "There will be a meeting of the board of trustees some time in Oc tober to determine the immediate policy of the college, and until then I will not know exactly the line of work to be undertaken. T expect to teach some classes later, although my time will be taken up mostly in administrative and field work. During the first semester I will devote very little time to teaching, but will spend most of it in getting acquainted." Dr. Canse will go to Corvallis to attend the Methodist church conference being held there this week. He is scheduled to give an address there Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and to discuss the work of the college at an educational banquet Saturday evening. Dr. Canse was elected for the post as president of Kimball col lege by a unanimous choice of bishops and district superinten dents at a meeting held in the mid dle of August, although he had not been a seeker for the position.

GUY-FITCH PHELPS ALLOWED TO WITHDRAW DECISION ENDS STORMY SES SION OP METHODISTS Rev. S. W. Hall, Sllvcrton, lion ortnl; Dr. D. If. Leach of Salem, Reports COUVALLIS, Or.. Sept. 22. (AP) Rev. Guy Fitch Phelps, by a vote or the 74th session or the Oregon annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in ex ecutive meeting today, was per mitted to withdraw from the con ference by surrender of his min isterial credeutials. This culminates a. matter which has been simmering within the conference since Rev. Mr. Phelps sent an open letter to Dr. William C. Sheparti, bishop of the Portland area, and member of the confer once, charging ministers or tne Methodist Episcopal 'church with being infidels. Charges were' filed against Rev. Mr. Phelps by-Rev; Walton Skip- worth for "high imprudence and un-ministerial conduct." The con ference voted not to entertain these charges. The decision to allow Rev. Mr. Phelps to withdraw, which was his own request, came at the end of two executive meetings, closed to all but members of the confer ence, and presided over by Bishop Adna W. Leonard. A direct bal- ot was taken at the end of the first session to determine whether charges should be sustained. The formal release of Rev. Joh& H. Coleman,, ex-minister of the conference; in the Salem district, was announced at today's session. Rev. S. W. Hall. Silverton, was re-elected secretary of the confer ence. Kev. k. h. uotton oi AGiuy will be one of his assistants. Due o the transfer of Rev. Frank James of Bend to another confer ence, Kev. w. J. Morrow or uua- mook was chosen etatician. The year just passed has been a good one, in the estimate of the four district superintendents who gave 'their report today. Dr. D. H. .Leach reported for the Salem district, which is entertaining the conference this year in the new Corvallis church. A total of $62,000 in improve ments has been, made in the Sa- em district. Dr. Leech reported He mentioned new ' churches ' in Corvallis and West Salem, and two new parsonages at Jason Lee, in Salem and Independence.
