WILL RETAIN
 THE OLD RULE
It Will Still Take Two Thirds Vote to Secure Democratic Nomination; the Unit Rule Will Also /. Prevail
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

BALTIMORE, June 1.-The demo- cratic national committeeman were gathering here for the expected open ing today. No move will be made to abrogate either the unit rule or the rule that provides that a two thirds vote is necessary for a nomination.
 No intimation has come to me, '' said National Chairman N. F. Mack, that any move will be made to do away with the unit rule or the two thirds rule, and as those ques tions would first have to come before the national committee, it is likely should know about it if there were any intention to do away with them. The two rules undoubtedly will be in force during the coming contest
 While no definite time was fixed for the presentation of contests it is learned that but a few minutes will be given each side in any contest. The committee expects to finish all of them inside of two hours.

Heavy Rains Cause
Some Damaging Floods

Lincoln county was visited by
some terrific rain storms within
the past week and while the precip-
itation will do the country an
immense amount of good, at the same
time the floods which followed the
down-pour did great deal of dam
age lin some places.
In the Flat Nose region, Paul Sue
cetti suffered severe loss last Mon
day, when a perfect avalanche OF
water came down from the Fay mad
Deer Lodge country, destroying prac-
tically all the crops on the ranch.
The barn and stock sheds at the
Succetti ranch were completely wash
ed aA,ay and the deluge came near
taking the family residence down the
stream. Mr.. Succt til, however. was
fortunate In saving al but one OF
of his flcck Of hogs, as well as his
horses and cows; but the poultry
chickens and turkeys-were nearly
all lost.
The flood made Its way down
Round valley and near the Delmue
ranch, the track of the Salt Lake
Route was damaged to the extent
that the company was unable to get
a train through to Phoebe Tuesday.
On that day. heavy rains fell back
of Panaca and in the vicinity OF Ben
nets pass and in the. space OF
few hours perfect deluge came
rushing down the Meadow valley
wash arousing grave fears that there
might be repetition Of the great
flood on the memorable night OF
December 81, 1909, insofar as the
Phoebe branch was conceened. The
track gave way to the rushing torrent
near the Dow ranch, four miles out
of Caliente, but Sup't VanHousen
