010 WATER SPOOI
CHASES STEAMER
LINER ABOUT 800 MILES OUT OF
NEW YORK WHEN SPOUT
WAS SIGHTED.
VESSEL HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Passengers Make Bets on Result
Before Realizing That Tie Meant
Instant Death.
New York.—The stc y of a gigantic
waterspout which chased the Cun
ard Liner Carmanla half an hour and
then suddenly subsided when it was
almost upon the hard driven ship, was
told by officers and passengers when
she arrived after a round trip to the
Near East.
The liner was about 800 miles out
of New York when the spout was first
sighted. At firs'., passengers said, it
appeared as a slight disturbance of
water about eight miles astern. Then
the waves were twisted and churned
and hurled skyward with terrific force
In an ever Increasing volume. For a
time, they stated, It stood still while
Captain Melson, after pronouncing it
a big waterspout, ordered the liner
sent ahead at full speed. At almost
the same moment, the spoilt seemed
to take wings and rush after the big
ship.
The passengers crowded aft. Smoks
belched from the ship's funnels while
the Carmanla strained every atom ol
her strength to escape. As the spout
traveled It grew larger. It widened
rapidly and towered high in the air,
throwing off spray.
As first the passengers thought that
it was Just a wonderful phenomena.
They began to bet on its speed, on
whether jt could catch the boat, or
pass It. Then, as It towered In the
Carmania's wake, gaining rapidly. It
suddenly occurred to the passengers
that it carried certain death with it —
that the race was one for life.
The spout continued to (win until
it wan almost upon the ship. The pas
sengers, huddled awe-stricken. alonK
the decks watching thn oncoming
mass of water It had only to reach
out for the ship—and it subsided as
suddenly as it had risen Pive mln
utes after there was nothing to show
there had been any-disturbance of th'
placid ocean.
Captain Melson smiled when he was
asked about It.
"I'll never tell what would have
happened If It had caught us." he said.
"In fact, I never could have told. We
would have been listed as missing
on the marine register."

Commerce, with announcement
that exports last month aggregated
382,000,000, the highest since Oc
taber, 1921, and that Imports to
talled $258,000,000. the greatest
since December, 1920.
The trade balance of 74,000,000

GRAIN PLANTING IS DELATED
SEEDING OF SPRING GRAIN IS
BEHIND THE AVERAGE
SEASON.
Good Progress Made in Central South
Carolina and South Eastern
North Carolina.
Washington. Seeding of spring
grains is very inucfl ■> behind the
average season as a result of frequent
rainfall for more than a montn in
most of the interior valley states, ac
cording to the weather and crop re
view issued by the department of ag
riculture. Very little spring wheat
or oats wi s seeded during the week,
although seeding made good progress
in the upper lake region*, and the
light rainfall in the Atlantic coast
states was favorable to field work.
Warm wea'her and wet soil caused
a rapid growth of winter wheat
throughout the interior of the coun*
try, and satisfactory conditions and
progress were reported in the south
ern and Atlantic coast states.
Germination and growth of corn
was favored by high temperatures in
the southern districts, but much re
planting will be necessary on low
lands In Texas because of floods. Corn
planting made satisfactory progress
In most of the southeast, but was
delayed by wet soil in the lower Mis
sissippi Valley .
The week was favorable for the
preparation of soil and the planting
of cotton in moßt eastern districts of
the belt, the weather and crop re
view stated.
Seeding made good progress In
southeastern sections, extending
northward during the week over
the central counties of North Caro
lina.
Conditions were somewhat more
favorable for field work In Alabama
and Mississippi, but the wet soil
held planting mostly at a standstill
in the western part of the belt,
where dry weather and sunshine
are much needed.
Seeding is being delayed In Texas,
where little has been accomplished
outside of the Rio Grande valley and
the lower coast counties. The con
dition of the cotton planted, how
ever. is fairly satisfactory except for
some damage by high winds.

NMY-PERSONNEL
HARDING OPENLY DECLARER HIS
OPPOSITION TO A CUT
BELOW 86,000.
PRESIDENT WRITES LETTER
Says He Believes Country Will Be
Greatly Disappointed at Pro
posed Reduction.
Washington. President Harding,
in his first public utterance on the 1923
naval bill, declared in a letter present
ed to the house that while the decis
ion must lie with Congress, he would
be greatly disappointed ,aB he believed
the country would be,, if the enlisted
force was cut below 86,000.
The opinion was not sent gratui
tously. It was given in response to a
i request for the President's view by
Representative Longworth, republi
can, Ohio, one of the leaders in the
fight to defeat the proposal in the
bill limiting the force to 67,{>00.
There had been unofficial statements
to the efTect that he opposed a dras
tic reduction in personnel, and that he
stood for the figures proposed in the
McArthur amendment.
In presenting the letter toward
the close of an all-day debate, Mr.
Longworth said he was glad to ac
cept the challenge from friends of
the measure as framed to find out
what the President wanted and to
let the house know.
"My Dear Congressman Longworth:
"I have to, acknowledge your let
ter of inquiry addressed to me on
the tenth instant. If I were to ad
dress the Congress formally I could
say only what I have already said
Informally, because I am well per
suaded that it is not wise to make
so drastic a cut in the naval ap
propriations as has been proposed in
the measure BOW pending.
"I do not doubt the good faith of
the committee majority in believing
a suitable navy can be maintained
under the limitations fixed in the
pending bill, and I am heartily in
accord with every consistent effort
to deepen the cut in governmental
expenritures. At the same time I
must believe in the good faith of
advisers who say very emphatically
that it is impossible to maintain,
within the proposed appropriations,
the standard set for our navy which
was made the base of the interna
tional conference, and which stand
ard we have proclaimed to the world.
"Of course the decision mnst lie
with the Congress, but I should pot
be frank in replying to your in
quiry if I did i\ot say that I shall
he greatly disappointed, and I be
lieve the country will be greatly dis
appointed,. if the artpropriation, to
which the navy must and will ad
here, is reduced to the point where
the limitation of enlisted men and
apprentices is below 86,000,, No pre
sentation of the situation, which has
come to my notice, has served to al
ter that opinion,
"Ultimately, perhaps, the lower
figures proposed may be reached and
I hope It will be possible through
later International concert, but the
trend toward peace and security
ought to be more firmly established
before going beyond the limitation to
which we were gladly committed at
the international conference.
"Verv truly yours.

ST. LOUIS LEADS IN MURDERS
JUDGE GEMMILL THINKS THAT
IT WOULD GO FAR TOWARD
REDUCING CRIME.
V
Speedy Trial For Criminals Advocated
By Speaker of Bar Association
Committee.
Chicago. Revival of the whipping
post, Judge W. M. Gemmill told the
committee on law enforcement of the
American Bar association, would have
a great effect on the reduction of
crime. He cited example 3 where flog
ging tended to reduce crime, and pre
sented figures showing the number
of murders in the large cities.
In 1921, his figures showed that St.
Louis had 426 murders, Philadelphia
346, New York 261, Chicago 206, Bos
ton 102 and Washington 69.
A speedy trial for criminals was ad
] vocated to reduce crime by Herbert
j Harley, of Detroit. ''ln the majority
|of cases the criminals are apprerend
led but it is months before they are
| given a trial and even longer in many
• cases before they start paying the
I penalty for crimes committed," he
I said. "The courts are responsible for
j this and, were the criminals given a
s-peedy trtal, regardless of the poli
! ticians with whom they are friendly,
j justice would be moire efficiently
'served.
| "Newspapers could co-operate with
the courts, but that is the fault of
| Judges who are afraid of the power
of the press. If less crime and more
j constructive news was printed the ef
j feet on crime would be large. How
j ever, the newspapers are not responsi
| ble for this condition. They are instl
! tutions for the purpose of making
money "and they are giving the public
! what they demand—the sensational

FIRE SWEEPS UREA
DVERJJLE LONG
THAN 100 HOUSES ARE
BURNED AT BERKLEY, VA., A
SUBURB OF NORFOLK.
LOSS IS NEARLY $1,800,000
Hundreds of Families Estimated t®
Have Been Left Homeless in
Seaport Town.
Norfolk, Va. —Berkley, a suburb of
Norfolk, was swept by a fire which
destroyed more than 100 houses, cover
ing an area one mile in length and
average from two to four blocks in
width. Five hundred families are es
timated to have been made homeless,
and the damage will run to nearly a
million dollars.
The blaze originated in the Tunis
lumber mills, on the southern branch
of the Elizabeth river. A woman whose
husband is a watchman at the Tunis
docks, discovered the fire from a
houseboat in which they live.
Within forty yards of the dock
where the fire started are the" St..
Helena Oil company docks. Three
steamers in the river were burned,
catching fire from sparks.
The fire quickly spread to the
north, the sparks being carried a
hundred yards or more. Most of the
houses in the path of the fire were
negro homes, and were of wooden con
struction. They were as dry as tin
der and a few sparks only were re
quired to set them ablaze. At one
time there were nine fires blazing in
different places simultaneously.
Although the fire departments, both
civilian and navy, from all tne cities
and towns in the vicinity of "Berkley,
were called, into service, they were
helpless against the spreading flames,
which soon reached Liberty street, one
of the oldest, business streets of the
town. One block on Liberty street
was completely wiped out. A negro
church was also destroyed.
For a time it appeared that a large
gas tank owned by the Municipal gas
plant was dpomed, but the gas was
burned off by means of safety valves.
After four hours the fire appeared to
have reached its climax, although it
was still blazing stubbornly in several
parts of the town.

Atlanta, Ga.—"About a year 1
was preparing to go to tne hospital to
die. Had been Btck and suffering two
years, had dizzy spells, suffered from
headache, constipation and a despond
ent feeling all the time. Had tried
many different remedies and got no
better. I got to a drug store one day
and was talking to the druggist about
my condition. He handed me a bottle
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and said, 'I think that will help yon.'
Before I had taken all of that one
bottle I felt like a new woman. Now
I can say, along with thousands of
other women, that Dr. Pierce's Favo
rite Prescription cured me." Mrs.
