 LOS ANGELES. Jan. 1.-Two men were reported drowned and more than 100 people were homeless tonight as a result of the heavy rain stprm which has caused almost every river and stream in southern California to overflow it's banks and inundate the lowlands adjacent.
 Fred Smith and A, RiVere, ranchers, were reported to have lost their lives late today while trying to ford swol len streams.
 A tributary of the Santa Ana river overflowed it's banks near Redlands and flooded twenty houses in the lowlands. More than sixty persons were rescued from the flooded dis trict and taken to a refugee camp established at a sanitarium nearby.
 Twelve houses in East Highlands, San Bernardino county, were sur rounded by the elood waters of the Santa Ana river. The occupants were taken out by rescue parties. The bmeless families were cared for to- night at an orange packing house.
 Street carN and railroad traffic throughout Southern California was demOralized and numerous accidents reported.
 The local weather bureau predicted late today that the rain would con- tinue tonight and tomorrow.
 In Los Angeles water flooded many streets in the low sections from curl to curb. Today 452 inches of rain had fallen during the storm.

WON'T INCLUDE MARRIED MEN IN SCOPE
 OF THE PROPOSED CONSCR|PT|ON BILL

The only amendment accepted was one providing that men married before November 2-the day Premier Asquith gave his pledge, should be regarded under the bill as married men. An amendment that the bill should not apply to single men above the age of thirty years was defeated.
 Premier Asquith was again in com munication with the labor party to- night, with a view to arriving at an agreement upon anne mendments which would be acceptable both to the gov ernment and to the laborites, provid ing safeguards against the bill being utilized for industrial compulsion.

CHILD LABOR
 BILL TO PASS
1RepubIican A. p. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The Keat- ing bill to regulate child labor, similar to the measure which passed in the last congress, was favorably reported today by the labor committee. It will be pressed for passage.
 The bill, which was opposed in com mittee hearings by representatives of many southern cotton manufacturers. would make it unlawful to ship in in tcrstate commerce goods produced wholly or partly by children under 16 in mines or quarries and by children under 14 in factories.
 In it's report the committee directed attention to the fact that in several southern states having extensive cot ton mills there is prohibition of em- ployment of young children. Manu= facturers in North and South Carolina have been permitted to employ 14- ycar-old children for eleven hours a day"
