FLORIDA LOSSES FROM HURRICANE TOTAL S1, 100000 Gale Blows Sixty Miles an Hour at Jacksonville.
 Tampa the Worst
 Hit City

Jacksonville, Fla, October 25.- At midnight tonight the tropical hurricane which entered the state at Tampa this morning and spread northeastward across the state, causing loss to property and crops estimated at approximately mill lion dollars, was apparently attain ing it's maximum velocity in the vi cinity of Jacksonville.
 The gale was blowing at the rate of 50 miles an hour here at mid night. Beyond two small blazes in Mitchell. A heavy downpour of rain has been in progress throughout the nibht Beyond two small blazes in the residential section and minor au- tcmobile accidents, the storm has had no i'll consequences here so far as known.
 As the storm turned sharply across the state from the west to the east coast, trees were uprooted and small buildings demolished while crops in the path were reported as being seri- ously damaged. At Seabreeze, seashore resort of Daytona, about middle way between Jacksonville and Titusviile, a distance of some 225 miles. several cottages were blown down.
 Division Superintendent Hurley of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, with headquarters here. reported he nad been in touch with the railroad of- fees at Tampa for a few minutes early tonight. and that several at "a ,lla ranOrted blown down while others were un- roofed.
 The railroad tracks. he said. for several miles this side of Tampa were inundated and the Seaboard trains were entering that city over the Atlantic Coast Line tracks. The trains of both roads. however. were feeling their way, he said. as tele- teraphic communication was impos- sible.
 No information as to the plight of St Petersburg, 20 miles across the hay from Tampa, has been obtain- abIe. but it is believed the city is faring very much similar to Tampa. Roth cities are protected by a sea wall. with St Petersburg enjoying a slightly higher elevation.
 The heavy rains throughout the state nave thrown many cities and towns in darkness because of the dis rnption of power plant facilities. No tarle among these are St Augustine and Orlando. At St. Augustine pe- < destrians and property were endan- gcred by broken live wires dangling across the streets, Three small bIazes in the business section also resulted. Orlando was in total dark ness and newspaper plants there sus-

Most of the day as his train travelled southward from Washing ton, the President watched from the window of his car the passing pano- rama of agricultural and industrial development and made much com ment on the accomplishments and needs of the southern states. At many places, southern products, in- cluding fruit and especially cured to- bacco, were presented to him as an earnest token of the sections hos pitality.
 Some of the larger cities turned out crowds to. greet the presidential train and wherever stops were made both the President and Mrs. Harding shook hands with as many as could get near them.
 The run was made on fast schedule, however, and the train slipped through most of the towns along the way without attracting un- usual attention.

PRESIDENT WILL DECLARE
 GOVERNMENT STRIKE POLICY.


 Washington. October 25.-An- nouncement of the course to be fol- lowed by the government in the event of a general railroad strike may ba expected from President Harding, it rwas indicated today by Attorney General Daugherty .s9
 The president, MT. Daugherty said would no doubt Say what he had to say when the time came" and the people throughout the country would know what the government policy comprised. Those responsible for the situation would have to take the con sequences, the attorney general added
 While maintaining his disbelief that a general strike would mate rialize, Mir. Daugherty declared the Justice department was prepared to set "judiciously within the law to prevent a tie-up of the countrys transpor tation facilities. He did not discuss specifically the department plans, explaining the government might use one method in one section, adopt another course of action in an- other. and use all of its legal weapons in third locality.
 He described the naming of those who would be in charge of strike n the various cities by the call sent out by the unions as Accommodating to the department of justice in the defendants in case anything hap pens" Discussing the attitude of the country toward posslble~rail strike. he declared it his opinion that the American people have no patience with this situation"
 Conferences with the district attor neys from New York, Chicago, Cleve- land, Buffalo and Indianapolis were completed today, Mir. Daugherty said, adding that they had returned to their districts with full knowl- edge of the departments preparations for an emergency.
 Six or seven district attorneys in western districts are to meet within the next few days in a western city to discuss the plans, he announced, although he did not disclose the time or place of meeting. Knasas City and St Louis it was indicated, would be represented at the conference.
 Meanwhile, the attorney general declared, telegraphic instructions were being prepared by the depart ment for the district attorneys in the country informing them how they should proceed in ease of strike.
 An investigation by the department. he added, has made 1t clear that even if the strike should take place there is no danger that any part of the country will suffer any serious hard ship from lack of food or fuel for u period of at least two weeks after a general tie-up.

tary H. c. Cridland, Miss Christine Dale, of Texarkana, and W. I. Nav field, Boy Scout Executive of Fort Smith. The three R's discussed by MT. Cridland created anticipation, thinking that it harked back to the time when the three R's were the fundamentals of education, but in- stead he made them mean first. the Request of the Master to go out and teach all the world; second, the re- responsibilities resting upon the teach CT and third, the results to be accom- plished. To live up to the possibili- ties of these three R's the speaker made clear that the Sunday school teacher must know mind. matter, method and the Master, and to this he must prepare, serve, be ready to make. sacrifice and cooperate with all who are working to the same goal.
 The. addresses by Mir.
