divorce from Mrs. Merle Maher Jacobs

he was no bigamist In return the state
sought to prove that the divorce had no
effect on the case inasmuch as the mar

cobs was divorced by a former wife,

AS Result of Overflow
of San Antonio

San Antonio. Tex. October 2.-The San
Antonio river, which overflowed its banks
today flooding a portion of San Antonio
and playing havoc throughout southwest
Texas, IS falling rapidly tonight. Train

curate estimate of the damage in the

drowned near Hot Wells and two women
and two children lost their lives near
Georgetown. The latter town is on the

TARIFF MAY CAUSE
NEW JAP TREATY
Alien Land Legislation Does
Not Figure in Negotia-
tions, Say Officials

Washington, October 2.-Officials here
are inclined to believe that the prospect
of new tariff bill and not the con-
troversy over California alien land legis-
lation is responsible for the suggestion
in dispatches from Toxic that a new
commercial treaty may be negotiated be-
tween japan and the United States.
1t became known today that at an early
stage In the negotiations over the Cali
fornia legislation there. was some discus
sion of proposition advanced from the
Japanese side that If the existing treaty
did not affirm the right of Japanese rest
dents In the United States to hold land
on even terms with the citizens of other
nations the omission should be corrected
by an amendment. This suggestion did
not In any way abate the claim OF the
Japanese government that the action OF
the California legislature was in violation
OF the treaty, but apparently was held in
reserve as an alternative measure.
