"Prudent Period" to Intervene Before Elections It was said that all the elec tive offices, Including the presi dency, would be at stake In the general elections. A "prudent period" would elapse before the elections, it was said on high authority, due to unsettled poli tical conditions. - During this time electoral institutions would be reformed and political 'parties would be reorganized. The resignations of many min isters and representatives already have been -handed to De Cespe des. Most of these were followers of Machado who either have left the country or have sought to keep out of the limelight since the fall of the former president. 'Searchers digging in hills near Atares fortress disclosed today they had unearthed another body of a man allegedly killed and burled secretly for opposing ex President Machado during his rule. Four bodies previously had been found buried under the Atares castle s stables. The last body discovered was believed to be that of Alfredo Lopez, labor leader, who disap peared In 1926. The skull was smashed apparently by a blow from a two-inch iron pipe, also found In the grave.

While the sun peeked through storm-blackened skies sporadical ly yesterday, many localities still were in distress from the gale and deluge that battered the At lantic seaboard.

V PROTEST FIRE CODE AT PUBLIC AIRING Ordinance . Committee Does Not Intimate how Report Will be Made Homer Smith Defends 82- Page Ordinance;-Cleaners, Dyers Oppose Charges that the proposed fire prevention - code before the city council would prove ruinous to many businesses here, the clean ing and dyeing industry in partic ular, and that insurance rate re ductions promised if the code were made law would eventually be evaded were flung by attorneys and businessmen at the public hearing last night on the 82-page bill Introduced by Alderman O. A. Olson. The ordinance committee, conducting the two-hour long hearing, questioned the complain ants and Insurance men present closely and announced it would report on. the bill at the next council session, without intimat ing the likely nature of the re port. - Homer H. Smith led the defense of the fire prevention code, which goes into great detail in specifying fire hazards that shall not -be countenanced. He declared lts enforcement would save thous ands of dollars in property dam age resulting from fires and also would bring reductions in Insur ance rates here. " - Fred Williams, acting as attor ney for the cleaners and dyers, attacked the bill item by item, asserting that it would drive his clients out of business or at least outside the city. He claimed many of the requirements as to equipment and shop conditions were ridiculous. Retroactive Features Of Code are Cited Claims of the ordinance's spon sors that it would not be retroac tive were branded as false by Paul Ferrens, Standard Oil com pany attorney. He quoted sec tions of the bill which he main tained made It effective upon businesses now operating as well as those star tin r in the future. "Under this bill, our oil station here would either hare to be razed to the ground and rebuilt or moved out of the city limits, Ferrens declared. Hal Patton, former alderman, who several weeks ago charged the council with seeking lower fire insurance rates here, averred that fire prevention was necessary but could be had under the state code and that lower insurance rates would not result from pas sage of the big ordinance. He declared lower rates had been promised in 1924 If the city would enlarge its fire department. Three fire stations were added and several pieces of equipment but rates were boosted higher, he alleged. Smith retorted that Pat- ton's own Insurance rates were lower than 25 years ago. ' Rate increases were defended by representatives of the Oregon Insurance Rating bureau who sat with Dr. Olson. Pope Delayed by Blowout, but Who Hasn't Suffered? VATICAN CITT, Aug. 24.
