DETAILS OF CONTENTS
 OF STOLEN MAIL BAGS

New York. Oct PA white muslin laundry bag uesd to muff1e the head of the driver today beca ne the clue upon which postal authorities hope to track down perpetrators of Monday nights mail truck robbery, now believed to have been the richest haul in the history of mail thefts. Postal authorities said the fact that the bag was used by the rob- bers was not explained by Frank Hay ranicll, the driver of the truck, until to- day
 In the absence of complete figures, be- ing compiled by a force of nearly fifty postal clerks, the belief gained ground in official circles that the loss would exceed 1000. .OO0
 Postal officials learned that the bulk of the stolen securities were non-negotia- ble and hence useless to the robbers and likely to be destroyed as worthless im- l pedmenta. Scores of federal operatives and city police were making every effort to lay, hands on the precious packages l before their nature was discovered by the | thieves.
 Stock exchange ticl1ers broke all rec ords in carrying itemized lists of stocks i and bonds reported lost by banks and 1 brokerage houses of the financial dis 1 trict At the samc time, well defined reports were circulated that "a very large amount" of currency was in one of the sacks. The lists carried on the tick CTS supported the theory that the total loss would reach the million mark 1 While many theories of how the daring robbery was planned and executed con- tinued to be advanced, postal inevstigat- {. DTS prosecuted their inquiry in the belief 1 that the three robbers must have re- 1 ceived accurate information of the ship ment. They worked on the theory that the plot involved some present or recent employe of the city hall postoffice, where 1 the footed truck was loaded before start. | ing up Broadway.
 Insurance men advanced the theor, 1 that the holdup was connected in some way with the recent mail robbery ir Toledo, O.. and pointed out that severa l members of the gang which operated there were still at liberty. Description: 1 of these men have been circulated through the metropolitan district in tn, hope of picking up some of them
 The laundry bag which focused the in l terest of the investigators is about l, inches long and 30 inches wide and ii
 equipped with drawstrings. Havranicl said his assailants drew it over his heat
 before they removed the sacks of regis tered mail from the truck. He also tol,
 the authorities that second automobil
 figured in the holdup. This car, he said
 drew up in front of the mail truck
 blocking it's passage. while the robber
 climbed aboard from another machine.
 One of the days developments whicl
 served to intensity the fear of official
 that the robbers might destroy that par
 of their loot which they could not con
 vert into cash was the finding of 2
 registered letters, believed to haey bee
 part of the plumber.
 | The letters were found in a vacant 10
 in the Bronx. They were turned over t
 the police.

PRESIDENT TALKS AGAINST
 OLD RACE PREJUDICEs

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 26.-North and south whites and blacks were admonished by President Harding here today to put aside old prejudces and pretenses and set the face of the nation courageously toward a constructive and permanent so- lution of the race problem
 In a sweeping presentation of his views, which was received with varying manifestations of emotion by a crowd of several thousand whites and negroesJ the president declared social equality be- tween the races must not be considered a possibility but that the black man must have an increased political economic and educational opportunity if the American nation is to live true to it's traditions of democracy
 The address, one of five delivered here by the president during a days visit to the Birmingham semi-centennial celebra- tion was driven home with vigorous ges- ture and deliberate utterances such as MT Harding has seldom employed since he became chief executive. He spoke with manifest determination to drive hls shafts to the heart of racial disagree ments and to make the pronouncement one of the most plain spoken of his ad- ministration.
 The crov-l before whom he appeared was packed in the inadequate confines of Woodrow Wilson park, and many hun dreds on the outskirts apparently unable to hear, kept up a hJIb-bub which made his declaration inaudlble to all but those who were close by. Repeated bursts ot cheering swept the segregated sections allotted to the negroes as they caugh portions of tn speech relating to politica and economic opportunity In the whit section there were occasional nipples o applause as the significance of a phras ...r,. and there was ralizd and pondret by those near the speaker.

ing the storm that visited this section
last Friday afternoon. Erskine had
been to Ironton and was driving home
In a one-horse wagon. As he reached
the Pilot Knob railroad crossing, near
where the old station house used to
be, the rain began to fall rapidly and
Erskine dreve under a nearby tree
for refuge. Then came a stroke of
lightning killing both the man and
horse. Some n driving by directly
afterwards discovered the bodies o.
the man and horse. The horse was
Instantly killed, but the man breathed
for several minutes. There were no
marks, whatever, on the body, and
another singular feature Is that the
tree under which the unfortunate
man had sought shelter from the
storm, bore no evidence at all of the
electric thrust. The deceased was 81
years of age; he first came to this
community about five years ago. In
1917 he enlisted in the army and serv-
ed two years in France. He is sur
viYed by a widow.
