CAIRO, Ga., Nov. I. (/P)—A tornado
which lashed Cairo and adjacent ter¬
ritory for thirty minutes late Monday
afternoon left in its wake several in¬
jured persons, three probably fatally
hurt; nearly a hundred families home¬
less, and property damage estimated
to exceed $40,000.
An undetermined number of negro
homes were demolished by the high
winds, which were accompanied by
nearly five inches rainfall in a few
hours time. Many white houses were
unroofed or otherwise damaged.
John Strickland, .Jr., Mrs. John
Strickland, his mother, and Myrtice
Strickland, a sister were in a serious
condition today as the result of in¬
juries received. Strickland, in a local
hospital with a broken back, is not
expected to live. Mrs. Strickland and
Myrtice will be admitted to the ho.S'
pita! late today if their condition per¬
mits. Three other members of the
► ■tuckland . . , . household , , .. suffered _ , imnoi .
injuries .......... when .......... the home collapsed dur ......
ing the sto.rm.
At noon today a survey showed that
fifty-eight homes, some occupied by
two or more families, were partially
or wholly destroyed by the tornado.
Relief workers, hampered by con¬
tinuing rains, had not completed a
survey of the stricken territory this
morning', but said Red Cross relief
will be asked. It is thought damage
was confined to the territory south of
Cairo, but roads to the west and
northwest are temporarily unpassable
because of debris and reports have not
been received from the territory in
that direction.
Cairo was without lights and tele¬
phone service Monday night but re¬
placement of wires and poles Tuesday
morning restored normal conditions.

Beach near Gulfport, Miss., tornadic
winds ripped up trees and damaged
buildings.
Most of the southeast got a thor¬
ough wetting.
The twister that hit Cowarts came
out of the southwest with the rumble
of a truck and bowled over structures
along three blocks.
Mississippi’s wind storm passed
Gulfport without damage but demol¬
ished a pavillion in front o.f the Gulf
Park College, ripped away part of the
college wharf, damaged homes and
blew out windows.
Beacon Wrecked
Biloxi, Miss., Nov. 1. (JP )—A freak
storm passing over this section late
yesterday demolished a beacon in Bi¬
loxi harbor and blew down several
frame buildings. The beacon was first
struck by lightning and a high wind
completed the job of blowing the light
into the sea.
George Duvall and Joe Saujon,
working in an oyster shucking shed
near the beach were slightly hurt
when the shed collapsed. Several sea¬
food packing plants suffered minor
damage and an automobile was blown
from a plant wharf into the water.
At Long Beach, between Biloxi and
Gulfport, roads and streets were lit¬
tered with debris from trees blown
down by the wind. A pavilion at
Gulf Park College near Gulfport was

of a treasure hunt stirred this
town today following the discov¬

which was reached by an entrance
so small that the party had to
crawl through on their hands and
knees.
Inside, they found a room about
15 feet high, 12 feet wide and 14
feet long, with openings to other
underground chambers. A more
detailed examination of the cav¬
ern will be made later, the men
said.

Washington, Nov. 1. (IP)—With
election just one week off, President
Hoover returned to the capital today
to begin hurried preparations for an¬
other westward swing starting Thurs¬
day in which he will wind up his cam¬
paign for re-election, and probably
continue to California to vote.
Plans for the chief executive’s fifth

from New York where he asserted in
a campaign speech last night that

The president’s New York speech,
! delivered before a cheering audience
that filled and overflowed every one
of Madison Square Garden’s 21,000
seats, was the big event in one of the
busiest days of campaigning ever in
dulged in bv the chief executive.
Members of his party estimated

to more than a quarter-of-a-million
people as he swung through five pop

The president as cheered by more
people than on any of tiis previous

that the cheering did not quiet clown.
The New York reception, with its
crowded streets, showering ticker tape
and confetti was topped ojl with a 13

Before the chief executive could be¬

Senatorial Races In More Than
Twelve States Draw Attention
Of National Political Leaders
Centered Interest in of California, Party Captains Idaho, j
Indiana, Iowa and Other
States.
By 1). HAROLD OLIVER
Associated Press Staff Writer
Washington, Nov. 1. I/P)—Aside
from general interest in the presiden¬
tial, congressional, and gubernatorial
contests next Tuesday, political lead¬
ers are paying particular attention to
senatorial races in a dozen or more
states.
Chief interest of the party captains
is centered on the senatorial races in
California, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kan¬
sas, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, Wash¬
ington and Wisconsin, along with sev¬
eral others.
In California, Tallant Tubbs, young
Republican state senator; William (!.
McAdoo, former Democratic secretary
of the treasury, and the Rev. Robert
P. (Boh) Shuler, prohibition party
candidate, are in three-cornered con¬
test for the junior senatorship left
open by the primary defeat of Sena¬
tor Samuel M. Shortridge, Republi¬
can.
Tubbs is for outright repeal of the
18th amendment. McAdoo stands on
the Democratic repeal platform.
Another three-way struggle is un¬
der way in Iowa. Henry Field, pri¬
mary winner over Senator Smith W.
Brookhart. Republican independent, is
nnruMiinra opposing T Louis nnie TJ R. Murphy, I\/T ll rdll 17 Democrat, 1 Ul VYI I'd F
and Brookhart running as a Progres¬
sive. The latter is a prohibitionist,
while Fields and Murphy are stand¬
ing on their respective party planks.
Indiana is all pepped up over the
contest between Senator James E.
Watson, the Republican leader, and
Frederick Van Nuys of Indianapolis,
former United States district attor¬
ney. Van Nuys has been attacking
Watson’s record in congress. Watson
has been talking mostly about the
tariff and also the home loan bank act
which he sponsored in the senate. Both
are standing on their party prohibi¬
tion planks.
Adherents of Republican Senator
Reed Smoot, senatorial dean, and Dr.
Elbert It. Thomas, professor of po¬
litical science of the University of
Utah and a Democrat, are mixing it
in old-time fashion. It is a race be
tween a man who has never held po
office and one who has served
in the senate continuously for 30
years. Roth are prominent members
the Mormon church.
Senator George T. Moses, Ropubli- _
incumbent and president pro tern

Providence, R I., Nov;. 1, (/P)—Ex¬
pressing his belief that (he has added
Rhode Island to Maine, New Hamp¬
shire and Massachusetts!! as states to
be Democratic on election day, Gov¬
ernor Franklin 1>. Rotxsevelt paused
in his expedition through the state
this morning to add reals a large au¬
dience in front of the ciity hall.
The governor did not leave his se¬
dan, luil spoke through an amplifying
device, the microphones of which was
set up on the running Foard.
Governor Roosevelt, lin the last ma¬
jor speech of his presidential cam¬
paign, told a Boston audience that
President Hoover “abandoned argu¬
ment for personalities*.”
A few minutes aftier Mr. Hoover
finished speaking last night in New
i York city, the Demoerktic presidential
I candidate, said “at first the president
refused to recognize tjhat he was in a
[contest, but as the pieople have re¬
sponded jsiasm to our program with enthu
he recognized that we were
Doth candidates.”
“And then,” Mr. Roosevelt added,
“dignity died. At Indianapolis he
spoke them, of my he arguments—misquoting
and went further at Indian¬
apolis. He abandoned arguments for
personalities.”
[ yield The to nominee the temptation declared “I which shall not
i to the
president yielded. On the contrary I
reiterate my respect for his person
and his office.”
Roosevelt asserted “The Democrat¬
ic party is not satisfied merely with
arresting the present decline, but we
seek to build up an: improvement to
put industry into a position where
wheels will turn and where opportu¬
nity will he given to re-employ the
millions of workers who were laid off.”
In stating his program for unem¬
ployment relief, the, governor asserted
it was the duty of the federal govern¬
ment to step into the breach when the
states, localities and private charity
failed to provide adequately.
“The first principle is that this na¬
tion owes a positive duty that no one
shall he permitted to starve,” he said.
Secondly, he said, the federal gov¬
ernment should provide temporary
work whenever possible in the nation¬
al forests, on flood prevention and in
the development of waterway projects
already authorized, which could give
at least temporary employment to
thousands.
Thirdly, said the candidate, the fed¬
eral government should expedite the
actual construction of public wor ks
already authorized.
“In addition there has been long
overdue a reduction of the hours of
work and the number of working days
per week,” he continued. “The great
justifications of modern industry are
the cheapening of production and the
lessening of the toil of man.
“These fruits will be dead fruits un¬
less men earn enough so that they can
buy the things that are produced and
have the leisure for the cultivation of
the body, mind and spirit which the
great inventions arc supposed to make
possible.”
Roosevelt told his audience that the
administration “cracks the whip of
fear over the backs of the American
voter.”
“Another means of spreading fear
is through certain Republican indus¬
trial leaders," he went on. “Some of
these 5,000 men who control industry
arc joining in the chorus of fear ini¬
tiated by the president, the secretary
of the treasury (Mr. Mills) and the
Republican national committee.”
Roosevelt asserted “they are telling
'support their employes that if they fail to
the administration of Presi
jdent will he Hoover in danger. such jobs Their as threats they have
are
empty gestures.”
“The president began this cam¬
paign with the same attitude with
which he has approached so many of
the serious problems of the past three
years,” Roosevelt said. “He sought
to create the impression that there
was- no campaign just as he had
sought to create the impression that
all was well with the United States.
“But the people of the country
spoiled these plans. They demanded
that the administration which they
placed in power and which has cost

DEATH SENTENCE
FOR BOYLE NOW
SOUGHT BY STATE
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. I. (/P) A
demand that John R. Boyle, socially
prominent attorney, he found guilty
of murder and his punishment fixed
at death, was made today as the state
launched its argument in his trial on
charges of slaying iiis mother, Mrs.
Jessie Boyle, 6(5.
Boyle has entered pleas of not guil¬
ty aiid not guilty by reason of insan¬
ity, and the defense centered its evi¬
dence largely on the mental condition
of the defendant who was described
yesterday by four alienists as “an ego
eccentric and a paranoiac.”
All four of the alienists said they
were convinced that Boyle “knows
light from wrong.”
Assistant Solicitor George Stuart
opened the arguments for the state,
arraigning Boyle as the slayer of bis
mother after they had gone to Shades
mountain to “pick wild flowers.”
STRANGE MALADY
CAUSES BABE TO
TURN LIGHT BLUE
Atlanta, Nov. 1. UP )—A live
weeks-old baby lay in an oxygen
tent here today while physicians
sought to discover the cause of a
strange malady which causes the
child to turn blue.
The doctors were inclined to
blame the trouble on malfunc¬
tioning of the thynius gland in
the child’s breast, the exact func¬
tioning of which is yel little un¬
derstood. The gland, lying be¬
tween the breast hone and the
bronchial tube, normally disap¬
pears when a child reaches the
age of 12 years, but it is believed
to control vital functions of life
during the early years.
The child is General Gammon,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert, Gam¬
mon. After the baby came from
the hospital a few days after
birth, its parents noticed it suf¬
fered attacks during which it
turned blue. Since being placed
in the oxygen tent the color
change is less marked, the phy¬
sicians said.
STORM WARNING
Washington, Nov. 1. UP )—The
weather bureau today issued the fol¬
lowing storm warning: Advisory:

erate intensity moving west north¬
