RIVER
AT CANON CITY
is OVERLOOKING
Parts of the Town Are Under
From Two to -Four Feet of
Water; Much Damage Is
Done To Property.
CBy The Associated PressJ

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 2,-Parts of
Canon City were under from two 20
four feet of water tonight as a
result of high water in Grape
creek and Sand creek, which
empty into the Arkansas river near
the mouth of the Royal Gorge and
high water in the Arkansas as a
result of heavy rains west of the
Royal Gorge. Much damage was
done to property in South Canon
and the Hot Springs additions.
Three feet Of water flowed over
city park and caused scores of au~
tomobile tourists to flee for their
lives. The railroad tracks were
under water and the celery gar
dens were ruined.
As far as could be ascertained
at $50 o'clock no lives had been
lost Fears for the safey of resi-
dents in Portland, (Colo.), eighteen
miles east of Canon City, are eN-
pressed and efforts to get into COM
munication with that town have
been unavailing.
Pueblo police are keeping in
close touch with the situation as
to possible damage to Pueblo. Lit
tie fear is felt, however, because
the flood will have an oppor nifty
to spread out as it approaches
Pueblo and with the levees west of
the city repaired. it is believed that
the river can carry the water with
ease.
Every precaution is being taken,
nevertheless, and in case there is
danger the police are prepared to
obtain warning in sufficient time
to get residents out of the danger

U. S. HAS LOST GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO SELL
SURPLUS COAL, CLAIMS
(By TIs Associated Press.l

Copenhagen, Aug. 2-"The Unit
ed States lost a great opportunity
to sell her surplus coal" leading
Danish importer told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent here
today, because in 1919 and 1920
when American sellers had the
European market at their mercy,
they made the mistake of sending
to Europe coal of poor quality
and charged exorbitant prices for
it,"
As a result of this policy. he said,
during the recent British coal
strike when practically no coal
was obtainable from Great Britain,
hardly any Scandinavian orders for
coal were placed in America de-
spite the fact that stocks on hand
were nearly. exhausted. Importers
preferred to run the risk of run
ming short to taking their chances
of ordering fuel from America and
receiving coal Of an inferior quail
ity. "If American coal is to re-
gain the reputation it has lost in
European markets there must be
an effective official guarantee of
its quality based on analysis" says
the bureau of mines.
The Danish commercial adviser
in New York recently reported that
"it is difficult to blame any indi-
vidual American exporter for the
general conditions prevailing In
the American coal export trade,
conditions for which America will
pay by the loss of a market of
great importance to the nations

TANGLE SEEN IN

AS NOW DRAF TED
Senate Committee Is Holding
Hearings On the American
Valuation Provision of the
FordneY Bill. --.----..-
1nv The AssocInted Press.l

Washington, Aug. 2.-The senate
finance committee practically COM
pleted it's hearings today on Amer
lean valuation provisions in the
Fordney tariff bill preparatory to
determining whether they shall be
retained as the basis of assessing
duties. Three witnesses remained
to be heard tomorrow, after which
the dye embargo section which was
stricken out by the house, will be
taken up for brief testimony. It's
fate also will be determined in eX-
ecutive meetings to begin Thurs
day.
Chairman Penrose announced
that democratic as well as repub-
lican committee members would
participate in these executive ses-
sionsv Calling in the minority
members marks a departure from
the usual method of disposing of
such problems.
As a result of the change many
senator's declared the American
valuation section as drafted by the
house had small chance of receiv-
ing committee approval. Sentiment
has been evident in the committee
for acceptance of the modified
home value plan proposed by
George c.. Davis, of the New York
customs house.
This would place the burden of
proving that imports were COM
parable or competitive with Amer
lean products on the domestic man
ufacturer instead of the customs
service.
The point was made today by It.

senting the National Council of

little lodge high above the reach
of the heat wave and four miles
from the nearest telephone, the
president and Mrs. Harding with
close friends will be guests for the
remainder of this week at least,
and longer If possible. Complete
rest, with perhaps some golf, fish
ing and mountain climbing mixed,
will occupy their first attention.
The house selected by the presi-
dent for the vacation is the coun-
try home of Secretary Weeks. 1t
Is on the summit of Mount Pros
pect, 1000 feet above sea level,
with only wooded slopes about 1t.
A private drive. closed with a sub
stantial wooden gate at the base
of the mountain, winds up to the
little clearing that contains the
lodge.
Two Miles to q Phone.
Nearest telephone facilities are
at the mountains foot, two miles
from Lancaster. The lodge is only
few miles from the Vermont line
and about forty miles from the
Canadian border.

late today after picturesque
ride of more than 100 miles from
Portland, Me-, where they had left
the yacht Mayflower in the morn
ing.

constructed boulevard. Otherwise
the mountain slopes are covered
by virgin forest. A red fox scamp
cred out to take a shy look at the
presidential party as it passed.
There are several golf courses
nearby.
in Lancaster the presidents
coming occasioned quite a stir and
big covey of automobiles were
parked at the entrance to the
Weeks estate to honk him a well
come. The arrival also prompted
town officials and business men
to deny that the visit had been or
would be made an excuse for prof
iteering, local hotel keepers as
serting reports of contemplated
advances in hotel rates had been
due to misunderstanding.

FREIGHT RATE CUTS
MADE TOO RAPIDLY BY
FORD, 1T is CLAIMED

Washington, Aug. 2.-Freight
rate reductions on Henry Ford's
Toledo, Detroit and Ironton rail-
road have been made too rapidly to
comply with the regulations of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
His application to file a tariff re-
ducing by 20 per cent the rate on
stone from Sibley, Mich, to De-
troit, was for this reason denied
today by the commission. Mr..
Ford put into effect a reduction on
July 26 of cents hundred on
this traffic and under the regula-
tions thirty days must elapse before
additional reductions can be made
in the same traffic.

by several persons who accom-
panied the senator. Mr.. France is
said to have declared he would
renew this charge in the senate.
1t is understood Senator France
invited DR.. Ryan to his room and
abruptly made his accusations and
added that the bolshevik foreign
office had promised to furnish
him proof Of the charges.
DR.. Ryan has been engaged in
Red Cross and other relief work in
Europe since early in the war, His
home is in Scranton. Pa. In 1920

Dor shortage, testified before the

which the Central Labor Union of
Honolulu is affiliated. would not
issue union charters requested by
Japanese labor groups in this
