President H arding
originally opposed the Bo-
rah resolution in the SEN
ate. While senators were
for it, they would not have
passed it, in all probable
ity, had they not been led
to- believe that the presi-
dent had withdrawn his
opposition. The Repub1i-
can majority in the upper
body is not yet ready, so
early in the new adminis-
tration, to beard the pres
ident. But the resolution
was passed when it was
believed that the presi-
dent no longer objected.
However, it seems that
this apparent concession
by the president to the
disarmament movement
was made when he knew
his friends in the house
would hold up the Borah
resolution and substitute
the silly and meaningless
resolution lately reported
by the house committee.

BUSINESS SECTION OF TAMPA
UNDER THREE FEET OF WATER
HURRICANE WILL MISS
PENSACOLA, TRAVELLING
MANY MILES EASTWARD

Meteorologist Holcomb OF the local
weather bureau said last night that in
all probabilities Pensacola had seen
the worst OF the storm now raging in
the peninsula part OK the state. While
it is still unsafe for vessels to leave
port for the gulf, the backbone OF the
hurricane is evidently broken, as far
as Florida is concerned.
Reports from the local station last
night were to the effect that the
storm center was southwest of jack
sonville. The lowest pressure of the
barometer here yesterday was 20. ct /;
Tampa. 2904; Jacksonville, 29.44, and
Apalachicola, 29.5S.
Wind velocities reported We're: jack
sonville and Tampa, sc miles; Miami,
go; Charleston, 26.
Nearly three inches of rain fell at
Jacksonville, while reports from Tam
pa and South Florida received showed
that over four inches tell in that To-
cality.
The tropical storm has apparently
moved inland over Florida between
Tampa and Cedar Keys and is moving
slowly northeastward. It has been at
tended by severe gales over the east
ern Gulf OF Mexico and Off the Florida
coast Hurricane warnings remain
displayed on the West Florida coast
between Key West and Apalachicola
and storm warnings on the Atlantic
coast as far north as the Virgins
capes.

Want ENGINEER TO PASS UPON
SITE BEFORE PURCHASE MADE
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
OPPOSES PALAFOX SITE
FOR A MUNICIPAL DOCK

The following resolution was
passed by the industrial commits
sion OF the chamber OF commerce
and a copy sent to each of the
commissioners last night by a
special messenger:
It has come to the knowledge OF
the Industrial commission that the
city commissioners in meeting on
Monday, October oath, by resolu-
ton. agreed to purchase what is
known as 'Palafox Street Wharf
and certain adjacent property for
municipal dock purposes.
At the recent hearing before the
city commissioners the industrial
commission went on record with the
full understanding that the Palafox
street wharf property, had been
withdrawn from consideration as a
municipal dock, and the industrial
commission understood that the
only sites under consideration We're
the Cevallos street site, the Baars-
City property and the Pace prop
erty.
The industrial commission finding
that this was the case, assured the
city commissioners that any site
selected by them under considera-
tion would be agreeable.
Since then, hearing the Palafox
street wharf property had been
again injected into the delibera-
tions, the Industrial commits sion now
wishes to place itself on record as
being opposed to the selection or
purchase Of this site for municipal
dock purposes, unless recommended
ny competent engineers as the best
available site.
The industrial commission re-
quests that the facts surrounding
the selection and prospective pur-
chase of the Pala COX wharf site be
submitted to the public for their
consideration, together with the
written report Of any engineer or
engineers who may have been
asked to pass upon the availability
and desirability Of sites for munich
pay dock purposes, ana that the
contamination of the purchase Of
the above property be deferred un-
til full consideration can be given
by the public. Respectfully sub
