Harris, former president of North

an address before the board today,
asserted there are not too many

VILLAGES IN INDIA

Rise Of the Gauges River

Cut Of

Cawnpore. India, October g.
[Correspondsdte of The Associated
Press.1-The great rise OF the Gan
ges river, which has broken all rec
ords Of the past thirty years, has led
to the flooding of vast districts on
the Unao side. Many villages on
both sides of the railway line to
Unao are under water, and hundreds
OF hamlets have been washed away.
The floods are on the decline now,
but the rains continue intermittent
homeless still harder. People whose
houses have been washed away
have taken shelter in neighboTing
villages, and some have been ac-
commodated in railway cars. Viz
tually all the villages situated along
banks of the Ramganga river have
been inundated. Houses and cattle
have been washed away, and stand
ing crops ruined.
In some places the rise of the
river was so sudden that people who
were In the fields tending their cat
tie or crops were cut OF. Many were
compelled to take refuge in trees
until the floods subsidized. Others
were rescued by relief parties.
Planks were tied together and let
down from railway bridges on the
Ramganga, enabling a number OF
people struggling in the Water to be
hoisted to safety.
The railway line between Karth-
garh and Got has been washed out
for about seven hundred feet, and
cannot be repaired for some time.
The railway connection Swith Delhi
also has been cut. The Lucknow
road is still impossible in many
places, and no communication is
possible with outlying villages.
Large supplies of food, sent by the
citizens Of Cawnpore, have helped
to relieve the distress.

Prize Fish Story.

Jasper. Mimi, November S.-The
prize true fish story OF this section
comes from the farm of Ed Roelandt.
Three years ago Roelandt purchased
several small gold fish at a local drug
store. They were kept in his home
for a long time in a small glass Jar
and one day two Of the fish were
placed in the water tank on the Roe
i, ndt form. Here they were completely
forgotten until the other day when
Roelandt started an investigation to
find what had become of the fish. He
was surprised to find both of them alive
and apparently extremely healthy as
thew had grown to size of seven
inches long and each weighed half a
pound. Both of the fish have retained
their deep gold color.

LONDON. March 1.-THE hostility
between the Angora and CONSTANT
nople governments is avoided in the
relations of their respective repre-
sentatives who are now in London.
Several members of the delegation
led by Izzet Pasha, representing the
Constantinople government, met the
party accompanying Yussuf Kemal
Bey. the Angora plenipotentiary,
upon their arrival here today for con-
ferences looking toward a revision of
the treaty of Sevres.
The Angora representative told in
reviewers that the Turkish national
list treaties with Russia and France
were not directed against England:
THE Russian treaty." he said, was
the automatic result OF the a.,it.
of the allies and not because we ad-
vocate bolshevism."
kemal Bey said the Turks felt that
England, misunderstanding Turkish
claims, had been inconsiderate of
them. He hoped the oesres treaty
would be amended. and then the
Turkish nationalists would welcome
English cooperation. But we must
have Asia Minor and Thrace," he
added.

Deliveries of American corn to the

Since the first delivery there has
been an unbroken ribbon of sleds

sleds drawn by camels, horses, oxen
and often by different kinds of ami
mails hitched to the same vehicle
have furnished a winding line of
variegated colors in motion day and

Not one wasted grain is to be found.
Each peasant has constituted himself
as a guard to protect the supplies to
the point of consumption. Deliveries
are made with great rapidity. Tsar-
itsin is filled with vehicles coming
in and waiting to be unloaded.
The great number of strangers in
the town has served to advance the

ALLEN INDICTMENT
WAS THROWN OUT
Because Of Certain Irregularities in the
Grand Jury Room When Case
Was Considered.

Boston, May ga plea in abatement
filed by Attorney General J. Weston
Allen to an Indictment returned against
him by the Suffolk county grand jury
charging the larceny Of 1856 from eli
ent, was sustained by Judge Fessenden
of the superior court late yesterday
The plea was taken on the ground oi
certain alleged Irregularities in the
grand jury room.
The court found that while the then
District Attorney Joseph G. Pelletier
and Assistant District Attorney Fred.
erick M. J. Sheenan were present one
of the grand jurors asked Mr.. Shecnan
regarding certain evidence that had
been presented, and that the assistant
district attorney stated his opinion OF
estimate of that evidence in fact.
In announcing his decision Judge
Fessenden cited recent opinion of the
supreme judicial court to the effect
that such action by the prosecuting Of
ficer was not permissible. The supe-
rior court, he said. was bound to fol,
low the rule Of law laid down by the
supreme court.
The indictment was returned IN No.
vembsr last. shortly after the attorney
general had started proceedings which
resulted in the removal Of Pelleter. Mt
Allen claimed before the court that the
grand jury had been coerced by the
district attorney into returning the IN
dictment.
AT hearing last month members Of
the grand jury testified as to the pres
kncs OF Pelletier and Sheenan in the
grand jury room when the indictment
was voted and told Of their replies to
questions by grand jurors. They testi-
fed that at fret no bill was voted but
that when the vote was doubted
second ballot was taken which resulted
in the indictment.
