by Secretary Of the Interior Fall.
"Failure of the former admins

losses of ultimate total production
conservatively estimated at 22.00O,O0O

HARDING STUDIES
POWER PROJECT To
CUT FUEL DANGERS
LRepubIican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, April THE pro-
posed super power project" for the
Atlantic seaboard, between Boston
and Washington was taken up by
President Harding and his cabinet
today during a general discussion of
the coal strike as a means ofamini-
mizing the effects of similar strikes
in the future on the economic fabric
OF the country. The discussion was
said to have been most thorough. al
though no definite conclusions were
reached
The discussion was based on the
report of a commission of engineers
for such a project which was SUBJ
mitted to congress nearly two years
ago and has since lain dormant. Sec
retary Hoover, who was member of
the engineers commission, submitted
the proposition for discussion today
and it was said that the cabinet in
tends to continue its study OF the
subject with it's possibilities of open
ing a new era In the power field. An
other phase OF the power situation
in this country said to have been
discussed at the cabinet meeting, was
the possibility of developing hydro
electric power along the Colorado
river and other waters of the west
as we'll as harnessing water power
from Niagara to Great Falls above
Washington.
The Atlantic seaboard super power
project, according to engineers. would
save 50.000,000 tons of coal annually
and in addition stabilize the coal in
dustry by providing regular employ
ment at the coal mines.
Under the scheme worked out ali
industries in the super power zone"
on the Atlantic seaboard. described
in the report at the finishing shop
of American industry all industries,
railroads and other consumers Of
electricity. would be supplied by a
unified power system.
Large generating plants would be
erected at strategic mining centers
convenient to the larger industries
which would feed into a great power
line. and then out to the consumers
The project as conceived would not
entail any outlay of money by the
government, it was said, but contem-
plate the erection of one unit at a
time through financing by the CO.
operation of public utilities and other
large power companies and users of
electricity. The cost. it was said
probably would be between 5000. .000,-
600 and $S00,000,0oo.

Rumcrs of prosecutions for viola

effect that they will include every
individual connected with the intro
duction of liquor into Arizona over
one certain railroad from the man
who buys 1t in Mexicali to the pur-
chaser in Phoenix were rife among
governmental officials yesterday fol-
lowing the return of Michael f.
Cassidy, state prohibition director.
from Calexico, Calf.
While Director Cassidy refused to
disclose the reason for his visit to
the Imperial Valley city and to its
Mexican counterpart it is known
that q number of railroad employees
in Phoenix. including porters. ticket
agents and others, have left their
positions recently, and that the in
vestigations which resulted in their
leaving the company are still being
carried on.
In discussing the presumed possi-
bilities of the case yesterday, Di-
rector Cassidy declared that the
shipments OF illegal liquor have been
traced from the shipper in Calexico
through baggage men, porters, ticket
agents, express men and places OF
public gathering IN Bnoeniz 70 the
consumer, and that all are to be In
volved in the actions which are
contemplated.
At the same time. it is known
that agents of the department of
Justice are also working on the case,
which will probably include actions
for conspiracy to defeat the laws of
the United States.
Director Cassidy's trip to Calexico
was made secretly, but indications
during the week. according to other
government officials, pointed to the
Imperial valley as the shipping
point of large quantities of liquors
into this city, and his admission
yesterday that he was in Calexico IS
taken bv these officials to mean the
immediate presentation of a number
Of charges against local people to

SIMS CONDF MNS
CONGRESS PLAN
To LIMIT 7 NAVY
TO 10000 MEN.
TRepubllcan a. ?. leased wire1

NEW YORK, April IA united
public demand for 100 per cent
American naval efficiency. ready TO
meet any national emergency, is the
most eloquent tribute that can be
paid the men who sacrificed their
lives In the world war, Rear Admiral
William S. Sims told patriotic gath
ering last night.
The occasion was a. remembrance
meeting under the auspices of the
Soldiers and Sailors club to honor
the veterans of the European conflict
and those who died in the allied
cause.
Criticising as preparation for de-
feat in the event of another war. the
proposal in congress to cut the naval
personnel of 100000 men in half, Ad-
miral Sims called upon citizens "as a
duty to these gallant men" to notify
representatives in Washington of
their conviction that naval as well as
military forces should be kept "at
all times adequately prepared for
national defense.
Doubtless" he said, congress be-
lieves that the gripping reductions
they propose In personnel meet with
your approval; that they are carry
ing out your will They cannot think
otherwise If you do nothing"
Admiral Sims pointed to de
ficiencies OF our forces and costly
mistakes of the navy department, at
the outbreak of and during the world
war, as an example by which the ma
tion should profit in the future.
Describing as "epoch making in its
contribution to human progress" the
Washington conference which estab-
iished the 5-5-3 ratio between the sea
forces of Great Britain, the United
States ana Japan. the admiral de-
clared, however. that the reduction
in personnel now proposed in con-
gress, under which only half the fleet
could be fully manned. would estaD-
fish a ratio of 5-2-3. So far as rela-
tive fighting efficiency Is concerned,
he added it would amount to 5-0-3.
Admiral Sims voiced the hope that
the dreadful experience of the World
War win lead eventually to interna-
tional agreements that will insure
perpetual peace

ILLINOIS TOWN IS
FLOODED As RIVER
LEVEES GIVE WAY
TRepubIIean A. p. Leased WlreI

BEARDSTOWN, IllS., Aprll !.
Straining at the city levee which
sprung leak late today, the. Illinois
river was expected to break through
into Beardstown tonight, city Off
cials said.
Ten blocks Of the lower part Of the
city were covered early in the eve
Ming with backwaters which reached
within Is inches of the door OF the
leading hotel and other business
houses.
Seventy-five men fought to save
the levee tonight while Major Wesley
Perry left a sick bed today to direct
the battle with the flood. The river
is steadily rising.
Residents of the lower part of the
city received ample warning, Mayor
Perry said, and removed to places
of safety.
There will be no suffering" the
mayor said. Tents rushed to the city
by Adjutant General Black at Spring
field have been pitched on high
ground and neiglfbors have accommo-
dated many families driven from
their homes.
Five hundred railroad men in
Beardstown, laid off since the coal
strike, are engaged In the battle with
the flood.
The town tonight is completely
surrounded by water from one to
three feet deep, covering 100000 acres
OF wheat lands. More than million
acres of wheat lands would be inun-
dated by break in the levee. it was
said.
Tracks Of the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Wabash railroad and the
state highway east were the only
means of entering the city on dry
land. Many boats were In use.
Workmen tonight were banking
sewers with sand bags to hold the
water back in several parts Of the
