While Hoover himself was silent Horace A. Mann. In vhurge of the southern division of the republican; I campaign, issued a statement in which he took Issue wllft Governor I Smith's charges. I "Uovernor Smith stated in his I speech last night that un inquirer for literature attacking Governor Smith because of his religion was directed by the head of a bureau of the Republican national com mittee to the offlco of an anti Cat hollo periodical (The Fellow Hhlp Forum) In Washington," .Mann uldv "Senator Robinson, his running mate, in a speech the HfltiH) night at Owensboro, Ky., stated that I conducted a seeker J after such .material to a source where It could be obtained.

I repent this denuncia my office to procure office to procure some evi dence along this line. Misstating her Identity, she called three times and was told we hud no such literature and did not know whero It could be obtained. The fourth time . she asked n clerk at these headquarters to look up for her the address of u publicutlon sho named In the telephone book, which as a courtesy he did for her. In other words, this wns an at tempted frnmo-up through a de tective which fulled because there, wan nothing for her to find, and the flimsy story which t have pub licly denounced was the result. "This detective In her statement specifically disclaimed seeing nic. Yet Senator Robinson says thut I directed her to a place where sho could get anti-Smith religious literature, nnd Governor Smith de clares thnt 'the hend of the bu renu,' evidently meuning me, 'put her In an automobile.'

Declaring he had been forced to drag the religious question c.ui Into the open because of "an apparent widespread attempt" to distract the American eople froth the "real is sues" by circulation of un-American secret propsganda Involving his Catholic faith and moral habits, the governor struck a blow at thoso he believed responsible challenged his opponents to find a single "scan dal" in his long legislative and gu bernatorial record and appealed to tho people not to be swayed by re ligious prejudice in casting their ballots.

WEST PALJJ HEACH, Fla., Sept. 21. (IP) The plague spectre today appeared over the Florida Ever glades, scarcely five days behind the hurricane that took between 500 and 800 lives. The immediate problem was're covery and burial of bodies. Liv ing conditions in several refugee camps have been made as nearly impossible because of their pres ence that complete evacuation with in 48 hours was considered unless some disposition was made of the dead in that time. - Already evacuation of women and children from Pahokee, Belle Olade and refugee camps along the east ern shore of Lak Okeechobee was nearly completed. They left their men behind, consrlpts in the battle against diseaser.' r ' ? All efforts to check the death list had been abandoned today as offi cials came out of the glades with confirmation of orders to bury as fast as possible. But Governor John VI., Martin came from an inspection tour with national guard figures showing the soldiers had put 537 bodies in rough graves. Howard W. Selby, chair man of tho Palm Beach county Red CrosB committee, estimated the dead at between 700 and 800 after his trip yesterday, while A. L. Sha- fer, state disaster relief director, for the American Red Cross, who accompanied him, said his original estimate of 400 dtvl was certain to be raised. The call for outsiCv help went out from Selby first. "We need financial help badly to the extont og $500,000." he said. Governor Martin conferred with officials here then Immediately issued a call upon every mayor of Florida for all the help possible. In one paragraph he told them this way: - "There are 1G.000 homeless, 8000 without a change of clothing, prop erty damage of more than $uO,uoo, 000. and Adjutant General Vivien Collins of the state troops has al ready accounted for 537 bodies dead and burled. Seventy-one bodies now are stacked in piles at Pahokee awaiting burial and conservative estimates are that the death list will mount to more than 800. "Ninety-five per cent of the homes and business property Is either destroyed or damaged. The situation in the storm area beggars description." WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. PV The American Red Cross today called on the American public for a minimum of $5,000,000 to provide relief for sufferers from the hurri cane in Florida, oPrto Rico and the Virgin Islands. - t - John Barton Payne, chairman of tho relief organization, based his request on reports from the Strick en areas indicating that 400.000 persons in Porto Rico and 15,000 families In Florida will need assist ance. 1 Wire Report on the Pear Market NEW YORK.

Thus Northcott explained, to the Sun reporter the reason for his flight. He bitterly denied being , guilty of the Riverside, Cal., charges and declnred he will fight extradition. "There have betfti a lot of stories circulated about me," he said. "They are all untrue. What awful things to say about a man.

I simply could not toll poor lltte mother of what they wero accusing me. 'If poor little mother had known of theHo charges it. would have killed her.

"I suppose they will say I killed her, too," he said, glancing at a newspaper headline which stated that MrB. Clarke was suspected of having met with foul play. During the interview it was not necessary to ask him for a state ment; he started speaking of his. own accord.

"Heading all thcmi storleB about myscir has certainly given me a lot of amusement." Then he continued with his de nial of the charges and the reason tor his flight.
