MUD-SMEARED SECTIONS
SLOWLY CLEARING DEBRIS
FROM SATURDAYS FLOOD

Flooded portions Of the northeast
and southeast sections of the District
which were struck by the rising
waters Saturday night today were
slowly pulling themselves loose from
the mud which incumbered them.
Little remained of the effects of the
storm except muddy front yards and

Seek Victims Body.
Search was continued today for the
body of Vivian U. Tibbs, co1ored, who
was drowned at Sheridan road near
Nichols avenue, AnacoStia, when he
was swept from the automobile he
was driving. Search is being made
of the sewer through which the body
is believed to have been washed into
the river.
Today residents went about their
business almost as usual, 1t being
necessary in some cases to thorough
ly clean out entire first floors of resi-
dences into which water and mud
had washed.
Members of the town council at
Capitol Heights. which was perhaps
the worst hit section by the storm,
declared today that work will be COM
menced at once on repairs to the dam
perhaps $4,000 will be needed to re-
build the roads and bridges.
Houses Wreck Bridges.
Floating timbers, some of large
dimension, and small houses washed
away, were held today as having been
responsible for the complete demoli-
ton of the bridges at Capitol Heights
A small edifice on the property of Gus
Parker foated down and hit the bridge
at 61st and Chewton streets, totally
destroying the bridge. The house was
removed yesterday.
All through the section ropes bear

automobiles and other vehicles are
forced to take roundabout ways to
get into the District. The store of

Here Mr.. Lodge differs with EIih,s
Root, Secretary Hughes and Presider;
reconcilable group" who consider that
even to engage in the assembly and
council for one minute merely to elect
judges Is recognition Of the league
ment is concerned And TO recognizs
the league for this purpose Is to cor.
cede that 1t has some advantages fGs
world peace, which is the exact op-
posite of the contention made by tho,
| leagues opponents, who regard 1t az
a means OF ENHANCEMENT and as =
breeder of trouble.
Glad We Stayed Out.
Hardly less important than MIR.
Lodges break with President Harding
is his. declaration abandoning his
original position when the covenans
OF the league was under consideration
in the Senate. He states that wh,'1
he would have then entered tho
league of nations with reservation,
he would not do so again. for he be
lieves what has happened in Europe
y
a good thing that America stayed out.
In answer to this argument, OF
course. the friends Of the league say
Europe and the world are in their
present state of unrest because the
United States failed to throw its
moral support and power into the I
scales and that conditions will grow
worse in the future unless America
co-operates.
Mr.. Lodge takes issue with Senator
George Wharton Pepper of Pennsy'-
vania, republican. who said that he
believed America should enter the
league if the covenant were revised.
The Massachusetts senator declares "a
has become convinced that tho
United States should not, under any
circumstances, become a. member -,
the league"
Points to Reservations.
The viewpoint of Mr.. Lodge IS Sig
nificant because It points tho way -
the kind of reservations that he os
others in the Senate will propose. lH
order 20 permit American entry into
a world court the method OF select
ing judges must be revised so as 10
enable the United States to exercise
its judgment apart from the league.
One way to accomplish this is t1
have the vote for judges taken b.
the several nations independently
through diplomatic channels, and
when the desires Of the United states
are made known to all the other
powers and the votes of the other
governments are collected through
the league the results of the ballot
ing can be disclosed.
