qulring District Attorney Weeks to
show cause tomorrow why Ward

KILBANE AND WILSON ARE
DEPRIVED OF TITLE RIGHTS

New York, June 21-Two cham
pions of the ring-Johnny Kilbane
and Johnny Wilson, featherweight
and middleweight title holders
stood deprived of their title rights
today, so far as the jurisdiction of
the New York State Athletic comis-
sion is concerned, for failure to ac-
cept the defis of challengers.
Kilbane's championship claims
were declared forfeited by the COM
mission for ignoring Johnny Dundee's
challenge. In Wilson's case altho
action was withheld to give him the
benefit of the full time limit, his
title was considered automatically for
feited for failure to agree before mid
night last night to terms for a match
with Marry Greb, light heavyweight
king
The commission, it was indicated
by Chairman VIM. Muidoon, expects
endorsement of its ruling by boxing
commissions i'll other states and also
in Canada. The commissions an
nouncement followed statements by
managers of the challengers that
the title holders had refused offers
for matches. Dundee and Greb are
considered the logical contenders for
the titles and efforts to bring them
together have been unsuccessful.

Mine AND MILL
SUPPLY COMPANY
TOLOCATE HERE
Big Mulberry Concern Is
To Establish Large
Warehouse In Lakeland
AS the Central Point of
Distribution for South
Florida

Following Il visit to Lakeland this
morning of Vice President and Gen
eral Manager Leon Thompson of the
Mine and Mill Supply Company OF
Mulberry, it became known that this
big concern has decided to expand it's
business and has chosen Lakeland as
the location of large warehouse that
will be headquarters for distribution
of the lines of supplies handled by this
company through all the South Flor
ida territory. In a statement made
concerning the new enterprise. it is
said that due regard was given the
question of the location for the new
warehouse and that Lakeland was Sc
lected because of its shipping faCili-
ties and its general desirability as 4
distributing center.
The Mine and Mill Supply Company
was organized in October, 1909, under
the name of the Mulberry Explosives
and Supply company, engaging at that
time solely in the handling of eXplo-
sives used in the phosphate mines.
Later on electrical and mill supplies
were added as result Of which the
business of the company has grown
by leaps and bounds until today it is
recognized as a leader of its kind in
the State of Florida. 1t is now pro-
posed to add a complete line of plumb
ing supplies, it being suggested that
the stock to be carried will not be
excelled or exceeded by any concern
in this section of the state The loca-
tion of the warehouse in Lakeland will
add considerably to the city's weekly
industrial pay roll and bring many
desirable new residents to the city.

Fears Are Expressed
That Great Damage
Will Be Done To Vast
Areas of Fertile Truck
ing Lands

San Antonio, June 21.-(By The
Associated Press. 1.-The critical stage
in the lower Rio Grande Valley flood
hich has inundated nearly 10000
res in Starr. Hildalgo, and Gamer
counties, and marooned nearly
700 Mexicans in small border towns
and covered the roads leading west
of Mercedes, is expected between mid.
night and dawn.
This flood, the result of cloud.
burst in the hills of Terrell county,
Texas, last Saturday. is remarkable
in the history of the river. not only
because it has exceeded all previous
records but also because of its slow
movement and sustained volume.
From a stream normally 200 to 300
yards wide and Is inches to 6 feet
deep, the Rio Grande has become some
fifty feet deep at the flood crest and
from three quarters to a mile wide.
The flood crest appears to be moving
at five miles an hour, which will bring
it to the lower valley after midnight
tonight.
Those families in the lower Rio
Grande Valley, much of which is in
sea level fear that the upper flood
will spread beyond all the previous
overflow marks. Great damage is
feared for the growing crops. The
section now is supplying many can
taloupes to northern markets and in
recent years has developed into
large producer of early vegetables.
Truck gardens are irrigated by can
oil at tnH hU IN
Rio Grande and in time of flood these
canals become a menace.
Areas inundated by districts, ac-
cording TO estimates, follow:
Mission-Sharry district, 1500 acres,
McAllen, 4,5OO acres; Parry San Juan
and Alamo, 10000 acres; land mead
Dona Weslaco, Mercedes and La Feria
had escaped inundation thus far.
Red Cross relief for the flood dis
trict already is under way. Hundreds
of Mexicans living in Eagle Pass
lowlands have lost all belonging while
at Piedras Negras, across the river,
the flood situation is admittedly seri-
Gus.
Three aviators had beer dispatched
from Kelly field, San Antonio. to the
lower valley for flood relief work.
Their instructions are to drop bags
of food to maroned farmers who may
be found in the flood areas. Eighth
corps area headquarters was expect
ed today to dispatch a company of
engineers with pontoons to Eagle
Pass and help restore communication
there with Piedras Negras, both rail-
road and highway bridges having been
washed out.
No figures are. available on loss. of
life in the flood. There are many
Mexicans living in the lowlands be-
lieved caught and swept away.
