Tampa, Oct. 28.-Flotsam and io+
sam from the tropical hurricane TO-
day revealed to prying prohibition
officers a unique method of smupgl-
ing forbidden drink into tn ecountrv

Two giant cedar logs, each about
81 inches in diameter, neatly sawed
apart from end to end, each half hol-
howed out nicely in six places to re-
ceive a five gallon demijohn of demon
rum, were found where the waves
had tossed them up into the streets
of the Palmetto Beach section among
many other perfectly good round and
unsawed logs which had been torn
loose from RATS at local cigar box
factories.
Of course the demijohns were gone
The halves of the logs had been
brought neatly together by bolts, the
heads of which were counter sunk
with wooden plugs fitted closely in
to the recesses, neat job that would
escape all but prying eye.

BLANTON'S APOLOGY
TO HOUSE IS LOUDLY
APPLAUDEO BY REPUBS
Texan Occupies His Seat
AS His Letter Is
Read
OBy Associated Press1

Washington, Oct. 2S.-An apology
10 the house, which attempted yes.
terday to expell him, was made today
by Representative Thomas L.. Blan.
ton, Democrat, of Texas, in an letter
to Speaker Gillett, read to his col
legues and warmly aprlauded, es-
pecially by Republicans.
The Texan, occupying the same
seat from which he arose to defend
himself against the charge that he
had printed in the Congressional
Record an obscene affidavit relating
to the conversations between two
printers, took no part in the brief
discussion preceding the presenta-
tion of his apology.
Speaking in behalf of Mr.. Blanton,
Representative Garrett, of Tennes-
see, acting Democratic leader, prior
to the reading asked that four words
used by the Texan in answering Rep
resentative Longworth, of Ohio, be
striken out of the permanent record
of congress on the ground that they
had been uttered in the stress of de-
bate and were not intended. Repre-
sentative Mondll, of Wyoming, Re-
publican leader, objected.
Mr.. Longworth had asked Mr..
Blanton if there was any truth in the
report that he had expressed an in
tention Of sending out 250,OOO copies
of his speech eXpunged from the
Record last Monday, and he replied
that if financially able he would put
it in the hands of every male voter
in the country Gust as it is" 1t was
agreed among Republicans that Mr..
Longworth had put the Texan "on
limb" and that probably two score
or more who had been in doubt voted
for expulsion simply because of the
members own statement. He really
intended to eliminate the objection
able language, he said.

Tampa, Oct. 28.-Condition in this
city which was visited by it's worst
storm in seventy years last Tuesday
were virtually restored to normal to-
day: With all street cars in operation
with telephones and electric light
service throughout the town.
Earlier reports of damage through
out the storm swept area in south
Florida were reduced today when
fuller statements, were available. in
later reports the estimates of losses
were considerably below the first
estimates.
1t is probable that property losses
of all kinds in Tampa and suburbs
will not exceed a million dollars and
that property loss including that of
the citrus groves in the entire area
may not go over 100000 especially
as the state fruit inspection depart
ment has given the growers the right
to ship fallen fruit, provided each
box is labelled "wind-falien.' Prac-
5ically all of the fruit is at least
two thirds colored as to skins.
Damages Greatly Reduced
Later reports from st. Petersburg
place the damage there at not more
than half a million dollars, greater
part being on the water front.
Fort Myers is still without train
service due to the washing away of
Two railroad bridges.
The principal damage to fruit
:rops was along the coast groves in
he interior counties, being but lit
