Wants to Give Negro Chance,

blTmlhgham, Ala, oct. 26.-The make good, President Harding de- clared in frank discussion of race problems in the heart of the South. The black man, he said, must be given political and economic equal ity as matter of justice and na- tional welfare. Political and eco homie equality, he explained, does not mean social equality. On the other hand, he urged both sides to recognize absolute divergence of things social and racial"

SPURIOUS MONEY
 CAUSE OF ARREST

Hot Springs, Oct. 27.-The Unit ed States government prints one dollar bills and also prints paper stamps which are fitted about cigar boxes and which tell whether the box contains 50 cigars or otherwise, Some of the paper labels from 50-cigar box container were badly confused on couple of $50 bills in the possession of Mary Amquist, who came here from California, and as Ia result yesterday afternoon United States Commissioner Martin held her to the federal grand jury and she was taken to Little Rock.
 The woman rendered one of the supposed $50 bills at the express of- flee ill payment for a small package. It was showed back to her. She |didnt quite understand and when it was explained to her the money was bad she said she had another of them through the postoffice win dow here, September 3, when she cashed postal savings account. Records at the postoffice showed she cashed in for $150 September 8. The woman went to the postoffice and was creating disturbance about the bad bills being handed her when the police arrived.
 The bank which furnished the postoffice With it's bills and the postal savings clerks scoffed at the idea that they could have mistaken the things for money. Federal agents are looking for a confederate. They believed the woman is the dupe of confederates or is one of the shrewdest ''pushers of the queer" in the business.

FEW LIVES ARE LOST INSTORM
 IN FLORIDA
But Damage From Gulf Hur- ricane Runs Into the Mil lions - Tampa Suffers Worst.


 Lakeland, Fla, Oct. 27.-South Florida spent yesterday ill recapitu- lating the damage, estimated ot run we'll into millions, caused by the gulf hurricane which tore north eastwardly across the Florida penin- sula Tuesday. At times attaining velocity of 70 miles an hour, the gale wrought destruction to obstacles in it's path, but only in few in stances caused loss of life.
 While only three or four isolated cases of death have been reported it is feared the clearing away of debris in Tampa's wrecked portions may increase the list. Of the cities and towns within 6 radius of 40 miles of Lakeland that could be reached by automobile yesterday Tampa appears to have suffered the greatest damage.
 The Bay Shore Drive residential Tampa is a panorama of destruction. Trees are down, houses with roofs torn away and foundations weaken ed from the high tide that swept in over the sea wall from Tampa bay have collapsed, and logs and other debris swept in on the onrushing waters crest now litter what once were beautiful lawns Of the Hyde Park section. Along the water front large sections of the sea wall were swept away, and parts of streets were washed into the bay. Houses immediately adjoining the boulevard were crushed in by the gale.
 Sunset Beach, popular resort of Tampa, was destroyed. Small houses were torn down and washed away.
 Damage ill the city proper was confined to the breaking of plate glass windows, tearing down of awnings and unroofing or houses. A warehouse occupied by the Gulf and Southern Steamship Company was destroyed, as was part of the Mallory Line docks. Conservative estimates place the damage in Tam pa at $3,000,000.
 The storm, travelling north, ap- peared to concentrate it's force on Ybor City, the Latin quarter of Tampa. Nearly 800 houses were wrecked in that section. In the Palmetto Beach section approximate ly four square miles of ground were inundated. Women and chil- dren in this section were rescued by a band of 40 volunteers and carried to safety in the highlands of the city. All the houses in the Palmetto section were demolished, and it is feared that some of the rescuers may have perished, as boats brought into play were swept out from shore and wreckage later gave mute evidence of their fate.
 The anxiety felt for the safety of 300 students of Southern College, at Clearwater Beach, was relieved yesterday when messengers reached Tampa saying that all the students were taken across the bay into Clearwater early Tuesday.
 Reliable communication had not been established last night with Manatee, Sarasota, Ven ice, Bradentown, Palmetto, Terra Ceia, Ellington or any of the towns on the Tampa Southern railway, al branch line of the Seaboard eX tending from Turkey Creek to Sara sota.
