$4,000 REWARD

Inside Job," Believed.
(By The Associated PressJ

New York. Oct. 25.-Disclosure
of the fact that the loot in last
nights mail truck holdup in
Broadway included nearly $780,
coo in bonds, coupled with Post
master General Hays offer Of a
$4,000 reward for the robbers,
dead or alive" today set detec-
tives working on a theory that the
rich haul was an inside job
OF the stolen securities S463.-
600 worth were the property of
patrons of the Chase National
bank, while $4,000 worth belong
to Park National bank
The inside job theory was based
on the belief that news Of the
shipment had reached the band
through channels so reliable that
they not only knew which truck
was to carry it, but-could pick out
the sacks containing the booty.
Bank officials criticised the pos
tai authorities for allowing so
valuable a shipment to be trans
ported at night through the city
street. The mail truck was in
charge of only one man, the
chauffeur.
Besides stationing police and
federal officers to cover all pos
sible exits from the city, Postal
Inspector John Coughlin set 40
clerks to work making n check
up of registered mail in the stol-
en- bags.

posed to keep the senate together
longer If he could obtain agree
ment TO vote at 4 p. m. tomorrow.
This agreement was the first
reached between the democrats and
republicans and followed all day
conferences which resulted in a
failure to come to any understand
ing as to day for final vote on
the bill. Plans of republican lead
ers as to procedure after the vote

morrow were somewhat in doubt

lsenate-to remain at the capitol or
within call--day and night they
still threatened to put through the
plan for continuous session be-
ginning tomorrow unless an agree
ment to speed up votes on the tax
provisions could be had.
Amendment Adopted.
The committee amendment fix
inb the normal income tax at the
present 4 and per cent rates was
adopted tonight, as was the COM
mittee amendment increasing from
$4,000 to $2,500 the normal eX-
emption allowed heads of families

less.
Without record vote, the senate
adopted an amendment by Senator
Trammell, democrat, Florida. pro-
viding that in case a taxpayer bor-
rows money to purchase or carry
federal securities, he may deduct,
in computing his net income, only
the difference between the amount
of the interest paid on the indebt-

1.-The most monstrous ever put be-
fore the senate"
Senator Hitchcock. democrat,
Nebraska, told the senate that the
excess profits tax had the same
justification as the graduated in
come tax. He added that he could
not see why corporations making
profits above eight per cent upon
TIE capital invested could not pay
a graduated tax just~as individuals
did.

Of TAMPA
IS UNDER WATER
AS A RESULT Of
TROPICAL STORM
The Business Section of
Florida City Is Flooded
But So Far As Known No
ives Have Been Lost.
.OUSTRY REPORTED
AT A STANDSTILl
Entire West Coast of the
State Is Feeling the Ef-
fectS; Transmission Lines
Badly Crippled,
(By The Associated y-ress.)

Jacksonville. Fla, Oct. 25.-The
business section of Tampa is prac-
tically flooded under three feet of
water as a result of the Gulf storm,
according to advfces tonight over
crippled transmission lines. No
loss of life has been reported, but
industry is at a standstill. The
entire west coast of Florida is
feeling the effects of the storm and
is virtually isolated insofar as
communication is concerned.
Tampa is without lights, tele-
graph, telephone OF street car
service, according to advices.
Truck Crops Damaged.
HEAVY rains are reported over the
state. Forty miles inland from
Tampa, in the section around Lake
land and Plant City, the truck
crops have suffered serious dam
age. Highways are virtually i'm
passable because of fallen trees,
but so far as known railroad serv-
ice has not been seriously ineon-
venienced.
The flooded area in Tampa was
described as extending from the
bay shore seawall to the heart of
the business section. Residences
along the bay shore drive were re-
ported badly damaged.
Railroad officials reported they
were unable to communicate with
any intermediate stations between
Plant City and Tampa.
Many Towns in Darkness.
No information as to the plight
of St. Petersburg. 20 miles across
the bay from Tampa, has been
received, but it is believed the city
is faring much the same as
Tampa. Both cities are protected
by a sea wall.
Heavy rains have thrown many
cities and towns into darkness be-
cause of the disruption of power
plant facilities. Notably among
these are St. Augustine and Or
lando. At st. Augustine pedes-
trians and property were endan-
gered by broken live wires Or
lando was in total darkness and
newspaper plants suspended along
with other business.
The full force of the storm Is
reported to have passed Key West
where no serious damage has been
suffered. Shipping between Key
West and Havana has been sus-
pended because of the heavy seas.

In statement the board in
formed the carriers that it would
not consider any petitions for wage
cuts until the question of rules and
working conditions, now before it,
We're settled. The board then un-
officially let the carriers know, it
was learned, that since its docket
was SO crowded q ruling on wages
could not be handed down before
July, 1922, it would like the roads
to announce postponement of their
plans to seek further pay cuts,
taking the attitude that such an
announcement might avert a walk
out.
Carriers Arc Adamant.
! The committee of the Association
Of Railway Executives which con-
ferred with the board announced,
however, that the carriers would
stand pat on their plans to seek
wages must be reduced before
freight rates could be lowered and
that since the strike was called
technically in protest of wage cuts
already authorized, there was no
necessity for the roads to take other
than an inactive part in the strike
controversy between the board and
the unions.
In its communication to the
roads the board declared that IL
both sides would consider the de-
1ay necessary before wages again
could be reduced, they would re-
alize that there was no cause for
an immediate strike between them
over this point.
Unions Acted Hastily.
The unions, not taking into con-
sideration this delay, were crossing
bridges before coming to them
when they called strike, the
boards statement said.
1t pointed out that the carriers
Aad repeatedly urged quick de-
eision on the rules and working
conditions now before the board
and that it had determined several
weeks ago to settle this matter first.
OF the 1000 cases submitted to
the board, 1900 still are unsettled,
