NO HUMAN AGENCY
COULD HAVE SAVED
OHIO, SAYS OFFICIAL

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-M. O..
Leighton, chief photographer of the
United States Geological Survey and
one of the most eminent authorities
in the country on foods, believes that
a system of storage reservoirs in re-
yions endangered by floods Is the only
practicable precaution that can be
taken to prevent such catastrophies
as have been experienced in Ohio and
Indiana. Owing, however, to the fiat
ness" of the devastated country in
Ohio, It is doubtful that such a sts-
tenn could be established there.
an most sections system of stor-
age reservoirs would afford protection
and actually minimize the danger"
said Mr.. Leighton. Such control of
the waters of the principal rivers
would also have many industrial and
commercial benefits
Speaking with particular reference
to the Ohio situation, Mr.. Leighton
declared:

vented 1t. 1t is one of those things
that no human agency could with

1t could not have been overcome any
more than the San Francisco earth
quake. 1t was simply a deluge Of
water of unprecedented proportions,
and no reservoir system that has ever
been contemplated in that region could
have afforded protection against 1t.

URGES u. S. PROTECTION
FOR FLOOD DISTRICTS

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Ofh-
Gals of the revenue cutter and life
saving service are exchanging Views
on the question of federal means to
protect the people ON the banks of
uncontrolled rivers.
Captain Charles A. McAllister. en-
eineer-in-chie of the cutter service,
has suggested that the crews of the
sixty life-saving stations along the
Great Lakes. which are discharged
every year during the season of
closed navigation, from December to
April be transferred to the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers and their tributa
ries during the winter months, when
most of the floods occur He urged
that at least three light draught
revenue cutters fitted with life-boats
be maintained on these rivers to
rescue sufferers and to carry food
and supplies.

WATERS RECEDING, FEAR
AOF DISASTER PASSED


AMSTERDAM. N. Y, March 2S.-
Flood conditions at this point on the
Mohawk are much improved. The
waters are receding and all fear of a
disastrous overflow of the river has
passed. Rumors circulated late last
night that the Amsterdam dam had
gone out are baseless. 1t is stated
that there is no danger of a break in
the dam.
The cellars of buildings along the
lowlands have been filled with water
but otherwise this city has suffered
little damage. No families have been
driven from their homes in this Sc
ton and no one has been injured. The
factories are open for work as usual

GET ORDERS TO SHOOT

Inc FIRST NauOnal pullulnB IN Ceu-'
trail Dayton burned last night. The
flood waters had so far receded that
firemen with an engine succeeded in
getting across. The Third street
bridge over the Big Miami river is
safe.
A score of motor boats and the life
saving boats were in the flooded dis
trict early, and by night it was hoped
relief would be extended to all those
still alive. No effort was being made
to take out any bodies, the first care
being to provide help for the living.
Rescuing Sufferers.
The boats began to return early
from the nearer sections. each de-
posting its load of from fifteen to
twenty survivors. Most of them were
so weak from deprivation and suffer
ing as to be scarcely able to move
BY S o'clock several hundred had been
brought to the Cash Register Hos
pital on stretchers from the south
side of the river.
The flood situation was much
| brighter today. The trucks sent from
the Cash Register Company, manned
/ by men with military orders TO confls-
cate potatoes and food from the farm
| ers. brought back good supply of
vegetables, and several relief trains
reached the city with supplies, The
! rescue work also had taken on a
semblance of system and all the
streets from which the flood had re-
coded were patrolled by militia. The
people also were urged to get back
TO their houses wherever possible.
Beware OF thieves and burglars"
said an official bulletin given wide
| circulation. Don't leave your houses
without precaution. 1t was thieves
who scared you about the reservoir
and natural gas explosion. The
natural gas has been turned off and
there is no danger of explosions
sixty Catholic Sisters at the Acad-

Colonel Zimmerman reported that

HENDRIX FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
TWELVE "YETS' RETURN
COACH HEDRICK WILL ARRIVE
SOON TO MAKE PRELIMINARY
ARRANGEMENTS.

Hendrix College football pros
poets" have been ordered to report
here September 10, the first day of
school, for fall practice. Athletic Di-
rector w. M. Headrick, recently Sc
cured from Southwestern University.
to coach the Hendrix athletic teams,
will arrive within the next few days
to make preliminary arrangements
for beginning the work.
The prospects for a corking good
football team for next year are par
ticulary bright. At least II of the
old war horses" will return and a
number of new material will be on
hand at the proper time. The grid
iron is in good condition and the
ground is fast
Among the old men who will return
this year are Harton, johnson. Nc
/ Cormack, Marks, Gossett Stevenson.
Compton, Shinn, Coleman, Holmes,
Mitchell and Fulmer.
The team will be much heavier this
year than any other team Hendrix has
turned out. The line will be made
up of heavy scrappers, beef and
fight" being Hendricks qualifications
for line position. Mitchell, who was
out of the game last year on account
of an accident before the season open
ed will be back this year, and will
probably take his old place at guard.
He is not a stocky man, but his fight
ing qualities will go long way with
the veteran in landing berth. John
son and Mccormack, last years re-
cruits, will be on the ground at the
opening of the season. Both of these
men are heavy, and will doubtless win
a permanent position on this years
/ lineup.
Harton, who hailed from Conway
high school four years ago, will be
back at the snapper-back position. He
has been doing manual labor this
summer and is as hard as a rock. His
returning will mean quite a deal to
the Bulldogs" Every pound of this
fighting quarterback is to be dreaded
by his opponents He runs low, hits
hard, tackles like a maniac and is a
terror to all who attempt to stop him.
His position is practically cinched.
Another veteran who will wear the
Hendrix colors this year, is ST Full
mer, halfback with two years eX-
perience. Fulmer was out of school
last year, but has kept in practice
and will be a valuable man on the
squad. Stevenson will be back at his
position at halfback Shinn, oldest
veteran on the team, will again fill
the center position.
A large number of high school stars
will be seen wearing Hendrix uni
forms this year.
The schedule has not yet been an
nounced, but it will include games
with Henderson Brown, Ouachita,
University of Arkansas, Louisiana In
dustrial Institute of Ruston, Christian
Brothers College of Memphis and sew
eral others. The games with Ouachi-
ia and Henderson Brown, which will
decide the championship of the state,
will be PLAYED on Hendrix grounds.

WOOD PULP AND PRINT
PAPER DUTY DISCUSSED

WASHINGTON, June 6-Seeking
more light on the print paper ques-
ton the Senate finance suh-commit-
tee considering the wood pull pand
paper schedule of the Underwood
tariff bill, conferred today with John
Norris, of New York, chairman Of
the committee on paper of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation.
Print paper costing not more than
91k cents a pound was put on the
free list in the Underwood bill. but
representatives of the paper manu-
facturers appearing before the Senate
subcommittee urged a counter
fvailing duty because of Canadian
restrictions on pulp woods. The sub
committee has not yet acted on that
proposal.
Mr. Morris is opposed to any coun-
tervailing duty on the ground that
every measure which the United
States has imposed upon the Cana
dian provinces has reacted against
the American paper-maker and con-
sumner
