OFFICES ARE NEEDED

SIN view of the evident new era in
Office and commercial building. Man
ager Appleyard of the Chamber of
Commerce was asked to make a state
ment in regard to the situation. Mr..
Appleyard spoke substantially as fol-
lows:
1.-The recent office survey of the
Chamber of Commerce proved that
there is an acute situation in regard
to Offices. a serious lack of available
offices. 1t must be understood that
Offices must be ready for tenants. The
man who wants an Office hasn't time
to wait six months. A promise does
no good. There is psychological ef-
feet in having the Office ready. Then,
too, the proposed hotel will have an
effect in increasing the demand for
Offices"
Mr.. Appleyard was also asked about
the prospects for securing warehouses
and other commercial buildings here.
Prospects are good" replied Mr..
Appleyard THE thing fear most,
and say it frankly, is that our pros
poets will look over Orlando as well
as Lakeland, and that the two large
hotels now in course of construction
there-one of $50 rooms and one of
204-will have weight with them.
There Is saying that Nothing sue
ceeds like success and It applies to
towns as well as to- individuals"

HEADS UNITED Mine WORKERS
AMERICA AND REPRESENTATIVES
OF Mine OPERATORS CONFERRINC

with measurable prOmptneSS at an
understanding for your mutual
good
The president, in addressing the
gathering, which included about
thirty operators. the same number
approximately of the United Mine
Workers officials and district presi-
dents, and Secretaries Hoover. Davis
and Fall, declared the present was
no time for the militant note Of the
radical and reminded the confer
ence that federation, fairness, the
spirit of give and take. and finally a
sense of the large obligations to the
public are essential to the success of
the conference.
Coupled with his appeal and ad-
monition the president uttered what
was regarded as Il warning when he
said that if the operators and miners
could not settle this matter in a
frank recognition of the mutually of
your interests then the larger
public interest must be asserted in
the name of the people where the
common good is the first and highest
concern
You are admonished to arrive at
such understanding with measurable
promptness among yourselves the
president declared. IF the adjust
ment cannot he reached by you alone
government aid will be available at
your joint call We wish you who
best know the way to solution to
reach it among yourselves in a man
ner to command the sanction of
American public opinion. Failing in
that the servants of the American
people will be called to the task In
the name of safety and for the great
est good of all the people
Another pointed statement in the
presidents address was: Labor has
the right, capital has the right, and
above all else. the American public
has the right to be freed from these
recurring anXieties (strikes). No
matter what the causes are. that free
dom must be established"
This warning note from the presi-
dent after he had described the criti-
cal plight facing the nation through
n continuation of the present suspen-
sion of the work which today entered
the fourth month, was accentuated
by the statement of Attorney General
Daugherty, who after comforting with
the president just prior to the con-
vening of the conference, said he
would not sit in the meeting, as the
department of justice would not in
tereS: itself in the matter for the
present

80 DROWNED IN
 SHIP DISASTER
Mexican Steamer Capsized in
 Gulf of California as It Strikes Big Wave

MEXiCALI, Lower Calif., Nov. 2o.- A new estimate of 80 lives lost in the disaster to the steamer Topotobampo early yesterday at Labomba, 60 miles south of MexicaIi, on the Gulf of Cal ifornia, was received here tonight.
 Twenty-one bodies have been recov- cred, it is said. Eleven were of chiI- dren between the ages of and fifteen years. The capsizine of the steamer was declared to be the greatest dis aster in the history of the Gulf of California.
 Although only SC passengers were listed, it was said, it was improbable it ever would be accurately learned how many persons had crowded on the small steamer, ras many of the men known to have large families with them had listed only their own names. Most of the families were said to have more than six children.
 Military authorities who have taken charge of the situation decided it was ''out of the question" to attempt to re- move he bodies of the victims because of the desert heat So the funerals are prompt and strictly military, as there is no minister or priest to offer religious rites.
 A. Liberau, owner of the Topoto- bampo, was brought to Mexicali today He had neither shoes, hat nor coat.
 He and Captain Gomez, of the steamer, will be arraigned on charges of negligence here tomorrow, accord ing to announcement by officials to- night
 The Topotobampo is said to have capsized when struck bow-on by a wave 20 feet high.

Harding Expected to Submit to Senate Name of Justice
 to Succeed Day

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2O.-President Harding is expected to send to the senate within the next few days the name of a successor to William R. Day, an associate justice of the su- preme court. and also to submit his selections for some of the more than score of new district judgeships recently created by congress to re lieve the congestion of business ill the federal courts throughout the country.
 Administration officials have stated that should Justice Pilney, of the su- preme court, be retired by congress because of physical disabilities, it would be reasonable to expect the president to select a Democrat to succeed him or Justice Day.
 A new name was added today to the list of those presented to the presi- dent for consideration in connection with existing and prospective supreme court vacancies, that of Pierce Butler, Democrat, an attorney of St Paul, Minn.
