three hundred 1t is becoming neces-
sary to bury without awaiting identi-
fication. A heavy rain today added
to the suffering of thousands of home
less and hampered clearing of debris
threatened washouts may prevent the
arrival of additional relief trains. The
food situation is already serious and
refugees are arriving from nearby sec
tions.
Most of the refugees are cotton pick
ers who are destitute as a result of the
destruction of all cotton fields in this
section. Fear was expressed tonight
that when the limited food stocks in
surrounding towns are exhausted,
more than thirty thousand persons will
become entirely dependent on the re-
lief being brought here unless the rail-
road situation improves. All visitors
and sightseers are warned to remain
away from Corpus Christi on pain of
being met at the train with a shovel
and put to work by Mayor Boone and
Chairman Miller of the relief commit
tee.
The most reliable estimates here to-
day place the loss of life at Corpus
Christi. Port Arkansas and Aransas
Pass at about $50. The bodies being
recovered today are in such condition
that Identification will be almost i'm
possible. A drenching rain began fall

cussion was held and it was unani-

chairman of the United States Steel

dents of the subsidiary companies,
setting forth the reasons of the cor
poration for declining to deal with

tude of the concern towards en-

NOT TO MIX in
UNION MIDDLE
Policemen and Firemen Stand
Firm on Refusal to Obey Or
der of Civil Service Commis-
sion to Turn in Cards or Quit.

Macon, Ca, Sept. 17.-Union police
men and firemen still stood firm today
on their refusal to obey the order OF
the civil service commission of this
city that they dissolve their unions OF
resign and events of the last twenty
four hours had served only to compli-
cate the situation. The police appear
to have scored a success in the pro-
motion of their former senior lieu
tenant, Martin Thompson. who holes
a union card, to chief of police fol-
lowing the resignation OF, Warren Nc
Williams, who promised a speedy re-
storation of law and order when he
was appointed chief, admitted upon re-
signing yesterday that the situation
was more than he could cope with.
The city council has declined to be
drawn into the dilemma. At an excited
session last night, during which more
than 1000 persons packed the council
chamber, the council, after hearing a
half dozen labor leaders who we're
wildly cheered by the gathering, re-
fused to take a stand in the matter
as requested in communication from
the civil service commission which was
read at the meeting. The communica-
"the council has no authority in the
matter
The question of deunionizing the
police and fire departments was made
an issue in the mayoralty election
here September "a, when John T.
Moore, opposing Mayor Glen Toole,
declared, following the mayors vote
in the city council, that he stood un-
equivocally for abolishing the unions.
Patrolmen walked their beats all day
yesterday. each union member in full
possession of his club, badge and
union card, while the firemen stuck
to their posts and responded to alarms
in the usual manner.

every inducement to bring their craft

dation of their boats.

NAVY FINANCE
BILL PASSES
in Two WEEKS
Until Appropriation Is Actually
Fixed Extent of Cut at Local
Naval Air Station Will Not
Be Known.
(sY GEORGE n. MANNING.)

Washington, d. c., Sept. 17-Not
until congress has passed the deficien-
cy appropriation bill reported a few
committee will the navy department
officials be able to tell how much of
reduction will have to be made in the
operations and personnel at the Pen
sacola navy yard. Some reductions
must be made because the yard is to
be changed, of course, from a war to
a peace basis, and because of the cuts
made in the appropriations for the
present fiscal year as compared with
last year while the war was on
Some weeks ago the navy depart
ment asked congress for $4,000, 900
more to continue the work at the vari-
Gus navy yards. The house COM
mittee on appropriations eliminated
this entirely in making up the appro-
priation bill but made available for
that purpose fund of $4,000, 900 pre-
viously appropriated for substance.
When congress passes this bill in
two weeks more the navy department
will be able to determine from the
amount appropriated the extent to
which the force at the Pensacola yard
must be cut down.
Senator Fletcher and Congressman
Smithwick are doing all they can to
have the navy department and con-
gress treat Pensacola navy yard as
literally as possible. They have been
assured by the navy department Off
cials that Pensacola is not to be dis
eliminated against but that the re-
duction in force and operations there
will be only in keeping with the re-
ductions made in all the yards on ac-.
count of the attempted economies now
being put through by the republicans
in congress.
Senator Fletcher has been advised
by Mr.. Chambers, director of traffic
for the railroad administration that

however, we have got them and we are

The district attorney was speaking
of Pensacola profiteers and he asserts
that he has evidence enough to secure
convictions in numerous cases. For
several months Mr.. Neeley has been
working on the high cost of living
