by washouts.
Several houses were reported
washed from foundations in San
Antonio after residents living along
Alazan Creek had fed from their
homes.
Reports from Corpus Christi in
dicated the storm was terrific in
Southeast Texas. A dozen bridges
on the Texas-Mexican line between
Corpus Christi and Laredo were re-
ported washed away.
Streets inundated in San Antonio
included St. Mary's, Houston and
Navarro. The first water came
through ST. Mary's street.
Abated precipitation found the
streets a mass OF mud and water,
and telephone service within the city
so badly demoralized that communi-
cation with different parts of the
town to check rumors OF casualties
was impossible.
Police Captain Stevens was try
ing to check one rumor that fifty
lives were lost which with other re-
ports were unverified and doubted.
Although the city was not uader
martial law. it was under military
control. Regular soldiers from the
First Infantry and the Twelfth Cav
airy were placed in charge of the
city at o'clock this morning. Loot
Ing occurred in the inundated dis
tricts, according to police reports.
Police were unable to get within
three blocks OF Baylor Hospital. but
they were informed no one was in
jured there despite the fact resi-
dences around were wrecked.
Women and children walked the
streets in rain and mud soaked night
clothing. or moaning and weeping
sat about their wrecked homes.
A United Press correspondent to-
day with police toured the northern
section Of the city where the flood
hit first. 1t was a mass of wreckage,
trees uprooted and merchandise of
all kinds strewn about. Street cars
were standing where they were
abandoned by crews and passengers
when the water came. Automobiles
we're scattered through the thor
oughfares.
San Antonio was thrilled as skies
began to clear by stories OF darine

heroism- United States soldiers in

BREAKERS AHEAD
FOR DEMOCRATS

this will be done at the Dover meet
ing.
Sussex county Democratic leaders
who were seen at the State Fair
this week say their position in the
matter has not changed. They say
they will agree to most any Demo-
crat in Wilmington fitted for the
place for national committeeman
providing he is not identified with
either faction of the party or that
he is not a lawyer. They draw the
line, they say, on either a factional
Democrat or a Democrat who is a
lawyer. This evidently means that
they will again oppose the election
of Mr.. Gray.
Efforts were. made by some Dem
ocrats to postpone indefinitely any
meeting of the State Committee to
elect Chancellor Wolcott's success
sor. They favor leaving the place
vacant until after the new State
Committee is named at the Demo-
cratic State convention next year.
Those who are urging an early
meeting to make the election point
out that the National Committee is
to meet in November. and that Della
ware should be represented.
One argument advanced by those
opposing an early meeting is that nc
provision is made for the State Com
mittee to fill such a vacancy. In an
swer to this local Democratic lead
er said this morning that he had
looked up the rules Of the National
Committee and found that there is
provision to the effect that the State
Committee shall" fill the vacancy.

Harding. it was learned, plans to
leave much of the work Of the prep
aration Of the conference to Hughes.
Consideration now Is being given
TO the selection of 10 principal ad-
visers TO the main delegation. In
this group will be military, naval
and economic experts as well as a
prominent woman, an outstanding
ex-service man and representatives
of labor and the farmers.
All the delegates selected, have
abilities which ft them for the work
of the conference.
Elihu Root is regarded as the most
experienced American statesman in
international relations and he is
recognized as being well versed in
Pacific and Far Eastern affairs. hav-
ing negotiated while Secretary of
state in 1908 the Root-Takahira
agreement which guarantees the
"open door" principal in China
The United States has proposed TO
the powers a tentative form of the
agenda for the conference. Satisfac-
tory progress is being made in the
negotiations between the United
States and the powers on the
method of procedure for the con-
ference. It was stated authorita-
lively.
The tentative proposals made by
the United States on the agenda
question are understood to have
been sent in recent notes TO the
powers invited to the Washington
parley.
Secretary OF State Hughes is un-
derstood TO believe the long contro-
versy over the former enemy terri
tory surrendered as a result OF the
war and an absolute assurance for
the protection OF American rights
and interests in these inundated ter
rltories only can be finally settled
by a binding treaty.
Such a treaty between the United
States and the principal Allied
powers would cover not only the
japanese mandate over zap. but
also the A. and b. class mandates.
which govern the former enemy ter
ritory in the Near East and in Africa
respectively. # was learned
Il was pointed out on high au-
thority. however. that the proposed
mandate treaty has no reference to
Paris reports as to the possibility OF
third treaty between the Allies and
the United States to make binding
the Versailles treaty and the sepa-
rate treaty concluded by America
with Germany. There is no need Of
such a treaty It was declared. ,
II a mandate treaty Is effected 4

suited in all questions Of administra.
tion or disposition Of these terri
tories
The disposition Of the former Ger,

agreed upon in this treaty or in an

ROUTINGiOF MAIL ,TOa KUSKOKWIM AND NOME
 BACK ON OLD TRAIL


 The Postal authorities have awarded the contract for handling mails to the Lower kuskok vim and Seward peninsula districts via Rainy Pass, occording to telcgraphic ad- vices received by Gov. Scott c. Bone. Mail for these districts was for many years handled by this route but was diverted last winter to the Government Railroad, over Broad Pass to Nenana, and down the Tanana and Yukon rivers across to the Kuskqkwim by the way of Ruby, Long, and Poorman.
 The later, route involved a con- siderably greater mileage than the old one and the routing was the cause Of considerable complaint from the people in the districts affected. Delivery of mail was said to have been slower than in previous years. Gov. Bole and Col. James G. Steese, President of the Alaska Road Com mission, interested themselves in the matter and made strong -representa- tions to Washington in favor of the Rainy Pass route. It is expected that the change back to the old route will be greeted with satisfac- tion in the affected districts.
