SENATE PASSES NAVAL BILL
Senator Thomas E. Watson OF eeoH
gIa Says The People Are Too
Heavily Taxe1

Washington.-The senate after more
than twenty days of debate, has passed
the naval appropriation bill, providing
for the expenditure of $495.0OO,OOO our
ing the twelve months beginning July
first
As finally adopted by vote OF o. 10
~. the bill was in substantially tle
same form as when it was reported out
BY the committee on naval affairs. All
efforts of economy advocates to reduce
the size of the appropriation were de-
feated, except that the provision for
spending $1.5OO.O0 to begin constTuc-
ton of a naval base at Alameda, Cal,
was stricken out.
The bill carries the amendment OF
Senator Borah, authorizing and re-
uuesting the president to discuss with
representatives of Great Britain ana
Japan the possibility of limiting naval
construction over a period OF tlVe
years.
1t provides for navy personnel or
12O, 900 men, 10000 more than the
house had authorized.
1t allots S90,OOO,OOO for the construc-
ton of naval vessels in continuation Oh
the 1916 building program; increases
the amount for aviation and PROVIDES
for construction of two airplane car
riers.
The bill also authorizes a contlnu-
alton of work on the dry dock at Char
lesion. S. c. The senate restored thls
provision, after having previously Vot-
ed to suspend work until 1924, as the
result of a vigorous fight carried on
nv Southern Democrats. A similar at
tempt, expected with regard to the
Alameda base which had also provok-
ed much argument did not materiallze.
The bill now goes to conference with
the house, where differences between
the two chambers will be adjusted.
The senate increased the amounts the
house appropriated by $100,OOO,OOO,
and the lower chamber is expected 10
resist these increases, $15,0O0,OOO OF
which is for the 10000 additional per-
sonnet. The house also has ideas OF
its own about disarmament, ana an
attempt will be made to broaden the
Rorah amendment to include all ma
tions, and land forces as well as sea-
Senators are opposed to any altera-
lions in the amendment.
The house, in opposing senate IN
creases, could tie up the bill for more
than 30 days. This would mean the
navy would find itself without funds
at the beginning of the fiscal year and
great confusion would result.
In the last hours of debate the SEN
ate again refused to support a renew
ed attempt by economy advocates 10
cut down the personnel to lOO'Ooo' II
voted down, without a record vote,
three amendments of Senator King OF
TJtah-these would suspend work on
six dreadnaughts and five cruisers, ana
reduced the appropriation for fuel.

RAGING FLOODS IN
PUEBLO, COLORADO
PROPERTY LOSS is PLACED At
MORE THAN TEN MIL
LION DOLLARS
HORROR ADDED TO BY FIRE
Stunned Survivors Struggled over
Undiscovered Streets As Waters
Disclose Grewsome Scenes

Peblo. Colo.-Flood waters Of the
Arkansas river swept through Pueblo
recently and caused deaths that may
total five hundred, and property DAM
age in excess of ten million dollars,
according to the fragmentary reports
that can be gathered as the flood re-
cedes.
Morgues were opened in different
parts of the city and by mid-afternoon
of the first day after the flood began
to recede, 1872 bodies had been recoy-
cred. The entire eastern and south
ern sections were cut off from the
business section.
The Red Cross organized to aid sui
ferers and an official food admins
traitor named to have charge OF ra'
tioning the food available in the city.
To add to the horror lightning set
fire to half a dozen buildings in the
center of the city. Firemen could not
reach the scene, and they would have
been absolutely helpless if they could,
for the flood had already cut off the
water service as we'll as the electric
lights.
At the same time the rising flood
overturned two trains filled with pas
sengers.
The business portion of Pueblo was
under six to eight feet Of water, and
when the flood began to recede scene
of utter devastation was disclosed.
The railroad yards were left filled
with Undiscovered debris and broken
and overturned equipment, carrying
the damage to more than million
dollars. Business houses inside and
out were covered with the same Shiny
mud, and in many cases even brick
buildings were undermined and wreck
ed Frame buildings in the path of
the flood were swept away, in many
cases carrying their inhabitants with
them.
While the flood warnings had been
given before dark on the night Of the
first deluge, many persons did not heed
them, and to this is ascribed goodly
part of the death loss.
Thousands of Mexicans with posses
sions on their backs were wandering
through the city Immediately after,
with nothing to eat and no place to
sleep. Neither gas nor drinking wa
ter was available.
A party of Pueblo business men, who
assembled for dinner at the Mime
qua club still were marooned there at
the last account
Frank Pryor, furniture man, spent
a night on the only standing wall of
a four-story building, which later col
lapsed. Rescuers had been unable to
reach him at last report.

Final Test Comes In Exchange Fight

Chicago.-The showdown in the
fight against the Chicago Board of
Trade is expected soon. The final
test will come at Washington and
Springfield on pending legislation.
Passage of this legislation, it is con-
tended, will put the grain exchanges
of the country out of business. Both
sides are confident of victory. Repre-
sentatives of the farmers, who are
making the fight, say passage of the
legislation is inevitable" Leading
grain men, on the other hand, see a
rift in the clouds and are now talk
ing of beating the farmers organiza-
lions at their own game.

COTTON ACREAGE LOWEST
Drop Is Chiefly Due To Tishtness VI
Money And The Season OF Colo'
Wet Weather

New York, y. Y.-Returns from APP
proximately 1900 special correspond
ents Of the Journal OF Commerce
throughout the Southern states, gath
cred under an average date OF May
%, show very little change in the estl-
mates of cotton acreage from those oil
a month ago.
Present prospects are for a cut OF
27.9 per cent. which indicates that the
acreage planted to cotton this year
will be about 25,59S,0OO, or the small
lest probably in twenty years. Last
year the May estimate was 33,96O,oOO
acres, the same as in 1919, and in 1918
it was 37.073.0O0 acres
The next smallest acreage in the
past ten years was in 1915 when IL
was S2,107 900. In that year the cotton
crop was only 11,191, $40 bales so that
it would seem the 1921 crop will likely
fall below this figure.
Talk is heard of a crop of only
100000 bales this year, though 1t is
still too soon to attempt any accurate
III CNdol vi llllO pOlAAbs <Ao W NAAO PCA
cent condition, while it reflects the
uniformly unfavorable weather had
during the last two months, 1t is
somewhat better than May last year,
being 6S.8, which compares with $50
at that time. 1t, however, is much
lower than 1919 when percentage con-
dition was 1875 and is, in fact, the
lowest with the exception of 1920 since
1907.
In 1918 May per cent condition stood
at S1.2, in 1916 at 1911, and in 1915 at
S0.4.
According to an overwhelming ma
jority of the reports received the two
outstanding factors in reducing acre
age this year have been the inability
to secure needed financial accommo-
dation, which, of course, is due to the
break in market prices for cotton and
the worldwide falling off in the de-
mand for the staple, and another sea-
son Of cold, wet weather. 1t is not yet
too late to make up for much of the
time lost, but it is freely conceded
that the extremely bad climatic con-
ditions of April and May have been a
source OF keen disappointment to
those who, misled by the abnormally
warm days in February and March,
had confidently hoped to make an un-
usually early and favorable start. In
stead, replanting has been necessary
over mide areas, as much as two and
even three times, with different sue
cess in obtaining stand.
Another unfavorable factor is the
wholesale reduction in the use of
fertilizer, which, in the opinion of
competent observers, is almost sure
to materially curtail production, while,
added to this is the alarming preva-
lence Of the boil weevil lowing to the
open winter and excessive moisture
and the inability of farmers to take
proper measures to fight the pests as
was done the previous year.

There are no recognized tides in the
Great Lakes similar to what occur IN
the oceans, for the reason that those
bodies of water are too small ana
irregular. Occasionally, however, tidal
waves occur in one or more OF
the lakes. due to atmospheric condl-
lions, such as great differences in at
mospheric pressure and the prevalence
of gales.
