WASHINGTON, Nov. 2a. If there
.re any doubts out In the country
.bout President Roosevelt's re-elec-lon,
there are none at the White
House. In fact,
Mr. loose velt,
himself, practle
a 1 1 y announced
It the other day.
His listeners fail
ed to catch It,
but, In his speech
to the mayors,
he said near the
end:

VWL JI.M.LON
congress, because
ve hope that it will be a very short
session, but by the following year,
rhen all of us can get together, and
ilt around a table and work out a
letter system of taxation."
The year following 1036 Is the one
n which Mr. Roosevelt's present term
sxplres at noon. January 20.
This might be written off as
:ongue slip, except that a' significant
:orrespondlng relaxation of tension
ias been noticeable Inside the White
fiouse. It started about two weeks
i go.
For one thing, Mr. Roosevelt went
)ff to Warm Springs a few days ear.
ler than originally planned. Also, be-
"ore his departure, ho had been leav
ng his office each day around 4:30
?. m., Instead of tho usual 6 p. m.
rlls associates have adopted a similar
casing schedule.
It Is all apparently due to reports
Mr. Roosevelt has received privately
!rom his many political prophets,
nicy have been telling htm that the
;.idc which was running against him
up to the time the last election re
turns were counted, has now begun
to ebb. His agents apparently disre
garded the new Literary Digest poll
rigures. t
Note The president gets to his of
rice generally between 10:30 and ll;00
&. m. However, he starts each day
iibout two earlier. Long dally ses
sions are still held with his break
rast cabinet, composed of Secretaries
Early, Lehand and Maclntyre. They
no over the morning papers, the guest
list, plan the day.
The official Inside excuse for the
nudden decision to send Undcr-secre-tary
Phillips to London Is not only
cood. but too good. H Is that Mr.
Roosevelt doe not know how much
to spend on the navy next year. He is
holding the budget open on that
question while Phillips runs over to
the naval conference to find out how
much the others arc going to spend.
Then he will hasten back to tell
President Roosevelt before the budget
goes to congress.
The only thing wrong with that la
Phillips does not kuow anything
about naval expenditures. His fellow
delegate. Admiral Standley. does. All
that Phillips will find out In London
about navnl expenditures is what Ad
miral Standley will tell him. It would
be much simpler for Standley to cable
back the data In code. That would
save Phillips a transatlantic trip.
The fact Is far less excitement
would have been created here about
the last-minute decision to send a

HILO. Hawaii, Nov. 32. (AP)
The Mauna Loa volcano sent a vast
flow of Lava 13 miles long down
its slopes early today, with possi
bility It might be diverted toward
this city of 20.000, 40 miles distant.
Thn fire neared a critical point on
the Mauna Loa-Maunnkea saddle on
the great mountain, from which It
might turn toward Hilo or away.
With undiminished activity, new
foundations replaced old ones In the
crater, and the great mass slithered
down during the night toward Mau
nakea, snow covered peak of Hawaii
island.
Hllo lies 20 miles due east of the
point where the lava apparently will
strike the base of Maunakea. It then
must turn to right or left.
Diversion Planned. ,
Should the molten river turn
toward Hllo and threaten the city,
Volcanologist Thomas A. Jaggar plana
to divert the stream by blasting.
Slag precedes lava and blasting in
Its path causes, the lava to burst
through the slag In the direction of
the blast.
Alfred Prestena, radio operator,
from his station 9000 feet up Maua
kea's side, described the flow -to the
Associated Press, as seen from his
vantage point. He said there was no
cessation of the eruption, wnicn db
gan at 7 p.m. yesterday. -
Despite possibility of danger, resi
dents were thrilled by the spectacle
and few slept.
,.For the first time In history, the
eruption of Mauna' Loa was visible
in Honolulu more than 200 miles in
.an airline from the 13.675-foot peak.
The volcano was stirred from two
years' slumber last night by an
earthquake. Which also sent a small
but damaging tidal wave pounding
against the shores of Hawaii island.

BARREL OF POISON
IN. TTO STORE
Hundreds Purchased Bulk
Product Three Dead
Action May Have Been
Result of Carelessness
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. (AP)
Discovery that a full barrel of deadly
poison had been mixed with baking
soda which waa then sold to hun
dreds of San Franciscans and caused
at least three deaths was announced
today by Dr. J. C. Gelger, city health
director.
A dpartment Btoro employe's ghast
ly carelessness. Dr. Gelger said, may
have been responsible for the intro
duction of the poison into the soda.
Dr. Gelger said the discovery was
made when the owner of the depart
ment store turned over to the health
department one of three empty bar
rels of "baking soda the store had
sold In bulk form during tbe last
month.
He explained that an employe had
Informed him that two display bar
rels were refilled, as their contents
were sold, from this barrel.
Dr. Gelger said a few pounds of
powdered substance In the bottom of
the barrel waa virtually pure poison
the less active of the two found In
the contamlnted baking soda.
On the outside of the barrel the
crude admonition, "Do not totch or
take," had been lettered three Inches
high with black crayon. The barrel
also bore another legend, "Scouring
powder."
The employe, questioned by city
health officers, said the barrel was
one of six purchased from a San
Francisco salvage firm aa "baking
soda."
Amazingly, when asked how he
cMild Identify It, he replied, Dr, Gei
gor said, by declaring he remembered
the inscriptions on Its side.
When asked why, despite the warn
ing on the barrel, he had opened It
and then emptied Its contents Into
the the other barrels, the employe.
Dr. Oetger asserted, hung his head
and did not answer.
LAKE TRAVELERS
The Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce , last night asked James
Bromley, resident engineer In Grants
Pass of the state highway commis
sion, whether something could not
be done to warn travelers on the
perils of motoring on the Diamond
lake road. Mr. Bromley, the cham
ber announced today, said a "closed"
sign would be stretched across the
highway Immediately.
Last Thursday, Mr, and Mrs. M. B.
Griffith, operators ot the Lee hotel
In Loa Angeles, became lost In the
now when they mistook the Dia
mond lake highway as the route to
Crater lake. It was only by chance
that they were reacued the next day
by a United States forest service
official and a CCC crew making Its
way with a snow plow to get 1 the
remnants of supplies that had been
left behind when the Diamond lake
CCO camp had been closed for the
winter a few weeks earlier.
