BRAZOS BOTTOMS
ARE STILL FLOODED
Little Improvement II Any In the
Situation and All Crops
Still Submerged.

From reports received from the
Brazos river today the condition has
not improved, and at present the
river Is reported on a standstill. Re
ports from Waco today say that the
river rose four feet there last night
and still rising slowly, but the effects
OF this rise have not been seen in
this part OF the State Big rains were
reported IN North Texas yesterday
and another rise Is feared, but the
farmers here believe there IS a chance
for the flood to subside before this
rise comes on.
An eighteen-inch rise is reported
at Valley Junction and everything is
still under water. No important de-
velopments in the food other than re-
ported Saturday have occurred.
The International & Great Northern
train service from Bryan to Houston
has been suspended on account Of the
high water at Cawthon.
The train service on the Houston &
Texas Central Railroad is also very
bad on account OF the high water at
Courtney and between Marlin and
Bremond.
A flood OF rain at Hearne yesterday
caused the Little BraZos river to rise
higher, II Is believed, than ever be-
fore known, and the creeks between
Hearne and Benchley were also over
the railroad tracks. causing delay Of
all passenger trains.
Heavy rains occurred over the
county yesterday, but all the creeks
are again in their banks and the dam-
age is not believed very great to the
hill farmers.
George Stelzer phoued to Bryan
from Cawthon this morning that he
and his family and several others
we're marooned there and asked for
n boat to get away. The matter was
taken up at once with the Interna-

Pardon Is Much Discussed a.
Abrams aud IIoogs paid their fines
and costs and became free men. Ramos
went to prison. The Governor s pardon,
however, has saved him from prison
and wiped out his fine and costs. .
When the Governors action became
known late yesterday afternoon much
favorable comment was expressed by
men In official and other circles. The
pardon, while unexpected, caused no
surprise and was taken as a matter of
course. ...
The sentences imposed by Judge Ash
ford on Abrams, HoOgs and Ramos were
the subject of much comment through.
out the city. Almost without exception
surprise was voiced over the fact that
Abrams and Hogs had escaped without
Jail sentences Of any kind.
Expectations Not Realized
1t had been expected that some SEN
tence, however light, other than a mere
nionentary fine, would be given these
men. Many were indignant over the
fact that Hoogs and Abrams had been
so lightly dealt with. Many had ex-
peeted Abrams to get. of lighter than
HoOgs, because of the formers. age.
Again and again Judge Ashford 3 terse
charge to the territorial grand jury,
after this body had returned n no bill
in Hogs case, was recalled and quoted.
1t can be said that the cases of
HooRs, Abrams and Ramos attracted
more public attention yesterday than
the latest Developments of the war in
Europe and the fact that the Red
Sox had won the world s championship.
Coming on top Of all this, the pardon
granted to Ramos will furnish con
siderable more food for discussion.
Abrams Out Of once
1t developed yesterday, on the auth
ority of J. r. Gait, manager of the
Hawaiian Trust Company, that shortly
after Abrams return from San Fran
! cisco the latter had been forced to re-
/ sign as secretary and director of that
institution. This had been previously
denied, Mr.. Gait having been quoted
as saying that il Mr.. Abrams had re-
signed he had heard nothing about 1t.
Referring to comment made on the
sentences imposed Tuesday by Judge
Ashford, City Attorney Brown said yes
, terday that in the case of Ramos the
Judge had no alternative, under the
law, except to sentence him to Jail and
! to q fine. In the case of Abrams and
Ramos, Mr.. Brown said, the sentence
was discretionary with the judge. He
, thought the action of the, special com
mittee of the grand Jury, which had
:, 1sakad both Ahrama and HOOOS in
| asking Judge Ashford for leniency, had
much to do with the nature of the sen
fences passed upon them.
