(AP) The weather bureau tonight at 10 o'clock issued the following storm warning "The tropical disturbance is centered tonight about latitude 26 degrees north, longitude 76 degrees west, and moving west-northwestward at the rate of about 10 miles an hour. Its center likely will approach close to the east Florida coast between West Palm Beach and Daytona late Wednesday afternoon. It is probable that the winds are of near hurricane force near the storm center." Smoke drawn into his lungs while Washington, September 24.

(JP) President Hoover today threw himself squarely into the senate dispute over retention of the flexible principle in the Hawley-Smopt tariff bill which democratic leaders hope to elimiuate by the aid of votes of some of the republican independents. In his first public statement regarding the tariff since the measure came before the special session of congress, the chief executive declared it was of the utmost importance for the future protection of the farmers, industries and the consumers that there should be maintained the system adopted in 1922 by which the president may increase or lower customs duties on commodities on recommendation of the tariff commission. Harrison Answers Plea. The statement was issued only a few hours after Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, the democratic leader in the tariff controversy, had offered a motion to eliminate the flexible provision. This motion was in the form of a substitute for one by Chairman Smoot, of the finance committee, proposing changes iu the committee bill which among other things would make the difference in the costs of production at home -and abroad the basis for tionof duties rather than the difference in competitive conditions in American markets as proposed by the house.

Immediately after news of the president's action reached the senate, Harrison, of Mississippi, contended on the floor that in issuing his statement Mr. Hoover bad "repudiated" the senate republican He launched into a long speech on the subject, taunting the republican leadership in his characteristic fashion. Recalling that only last week Senator Watson, of Indiana, marshal of the republican forces, had assured the senate that he had advised the president repeatedly to keep out of I of the United States census bureau today' promised a full investigation of its system of compiling cotton ginning reports which led to an error of 300,000 bales in the report on Georgia issued yesterday. At the same time Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina, incensed by the erroneous report, announced that he would sponsor legislation at the forthcoming regular session of congress designed to avoid a repetition of the error.

He will ask that sufficient appropriations be granted to permit publication at stated periods of the cotton season detailed reports on cotton ginnings, listing the amount of cotton baled by each individual gin throughout the south. Senator Smith's announcement was made after a conference with statisticians of the department of commerce held in his office and participated in by Senator Tom Connally, of Texas, and Senator Joseph E. Rarfs-dell, of Louisiana. The census bureau was represented by H. J.

Zimmerman, chief statistician in charge of cotton ginning reports; Wade M. G. FergU; son and G. W. Potter.

Georgia Senators Protest. Earlier in the day heated protests against the error were made by Senator W. J. Harris and Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, who emphasized the possible effect such an error might have on the cotton market.

Senator George transmitted to the bureau a protest against the report from B. T. Lowe, president of the Atlantic Cotton Association, of Augusta, who asked that every precaution be taken to insure greater accuracy in the future. In a conference on the subject with Director of the Census William M. Steuart.

Senator Harris asked that responsibility for the error be fixed and the offending official relieved of his position. Later he said he was assured by the director that the matter would be gone into thoroughly and proper disciplinary action taken. Expressing keen regret over the mistake. Mr. Zimmerman said it occurred in transcribing figures on the Georgia end of the report.

Some Gutzon Borglum, original sculptor of the Stone Mountain Memorial, ha been re-indicted in DeKalb county on. charges of simple larceny, larceny from the house and malicious mischief as the result cf his destruction of master models in February, 1925, it developed Tuesday. The new indictments against Borglum, which are identical with those returned against the sculptor in. March, 1923, and subsequently nolle prossed by Solicitor Claude C. Smith, were returned on September 9, the day after Philip H.

Alston, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, issued a card stating that the Memorial Association plans for completing the work seemed hopeless and urging complete reorganization. The same morning the indictments were returned. Samuel H. Yenable, owner of the mountain, who subsequently urged the completion of the carving by Borglum. instead of Augustus Lukeman, the association's sculptor, had made public a card stating bis willingness and confidence of ability to complete the monument himself.

Smith Explain Action. When asked about Borglum's re indictment at this time, Solicitor Smith said that his office was responsible for presenting the matter to the grand jury. Former indictments had been nolle prossed, he asserted, tippre agreement all litigation would be dropped. He reinstituted the charges, he said, when he found that the litigation now hindering the work would not be withdrawn. News of the re-indictment of Borglum created a furor when it became generally known.

Mr. Yenable issued a statement sharply criticizing solicitor Smith for his action, openly charging that it was done to forestall the reinstatement of Borglum and suggesting that heads of the Memorial Association also should be indicted for destroying Borglum's original head of General Iee. Statement By Willis. O. F.

Willis, president of the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association, said had nothing whatsoever to do with reinstatement of these indictments and knew absolutely nothing -WJ Need for concerted action by city council in abating the nuisance created by emptying thousands of gallons of untreated sewerage into Peachtree creek through the disposal unit maintained there by the city, Tuesday prompted Mayor I. N. Ragsdale to defer sending a paper asking correction of the situation to city council at its special session at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Instead, Mr. Ragsdale will hold the petition, presented to him several days ago by about 100 residents of the district demanding relief by December 1, until the nest regular meeting of council.

October 7, and in the meantime will send communications to every member of council and the Atlanta bond commission urging immediate action lo relieve what is termed an "unbearable'' condition. Mr. Ragsdale himself will urge prompt action in one communication, and at the same time he will submit a ruling from City Attorney James L. Mayson pointing out the necessity for such relief, and also the necessity for a bond issue to remove the. plant to some other more suitable location.

Council this afternoon will open bids on furniture and office equipment needed before the city can occupy the new $1,000,000 city hall at Washington and Mitchell streets. It is estimated that cost of the equipment will lie about No Other Matters Included. Mayor Ragsdale Tuesday had not included anything else in the special call for today, but fa id he might add anything which he considered urgent. After the bids are opened they wili be referred to the special city hall committee of city council for tabulation and a recommendation as to the low bidders on various articles.

The criticism of the southern senators, however, was that the bureau should maintain a more careful system of checking to prevent one error along the line being carried over to the final announcement. It was pointed out to officials that while the cotton exchange failed to react to the report, usually it is highly sensitive and such an error might in other times cause farmers of the south, the loss of millions in the sale of their product. It develops that was responsible for the bureau discovering the error and correcting it some four hours later. The regular September ginning report was issued at the bureau yesterday.

Someone in Georgia, whose identity was not revealed by officials, in analyzing the figures saw that an unusual amount of cotton had been credited to the state for this time of the season. He immediately directed a wire to the bureau challenging the figures. This led to a hurried investigation which resulted in the correction being put out later.

The story of Officer Crankshaw's vigil from the Terminal towers was related in criminal court of Atlanta during the past week or so in trial and conviction of a number of bootleggers who fell victims to the policeman's powerful spy glass. The height of the towers and the view they commanded of the section west of the railroad tracks gave Patrolman Crankshaw an idea which he at once put into effect. Armed with his telescope, he braved the dust and soot of the top of one of the towers and established his lookout.

As soon as the patrolman would witness a transfer of a couple of pints, be would rush down to the Nelson street bridge and catch his quarry on the way back to town.

After the conference, Mr. West said that the loan on the basis desired probably was illegal, but expressed the belief that some kind of an arrangement could be worked out. Members of the finance committee of city council Monday named Mr. Moore, who is chairman of the finance committee; Mayor I. N.
