EUROPE COLD OVER
 SENSATIONAL NEWS
Skeptical About Reported Wild DoinSs in Russian Territory

Berlin. March li.-Central Europe has become skcptical about tlurries in Russia and refuses 10 get excited over reported secret treaties between France and Russia: prospective var between England and Russia over the Asghanistan situation. ana the re- ported row In the Russian Communisi part. which Russian papers say con- t.rs about Trotsky's ambition to be- como Lenin's successor.
 Just befoft the Alghalistan situa- ton was reported from Moscow to have assumed such alarming propor- tioHs. there had been a period of several months in which Soviet Rus sia had disappeared entirely from news dispatches. Reports Of commer- cial q agreements aud similar news O. q more or less routine character failed to attract any attention. Russia was losing the worlds attention.
 Afghanistan situation
 Then came the Russian version of the Afghanistan situation. which was quite unlike the calm statements from the nnperturbed British foreign office. Reports of negotiations which had led to some arrangement between Russia and France began to filter out from strange sources. But neither the Ger man foreign office nor the other chan eellories Of Europe seemed to get ex- cited, and there was little disposition among German businessmen to be troubled over announcements that Germany's business relations with Russia would be injured by the as- eendancy France was reported to have attained by her negotiating with the Bolshevist leaders German business men have had much experience in try ing to do business with Soviet Russia, and have learned good deal since the treaty Of Rapollo was signed.
 Press Tired Of Rumors
 Today the press of central Europe is tired of rumors. It has been propa- gandized into nervous frenzy go often by the agents of various govern ments that it is acquiring discrimina- tion. People are weary Of wandering reformers with axes to grind. Threats of war which caused nations to shud- der three years ago now pass unno- tieed. Governments change. kings are eeipsed or retired, diplomats of the old school get insulted and try to stir up row. but the old tricks have lost their punch. Europeans have been told civilization is doomed so often, that now they yawn when the statement is made.
 Italians have lived so long at the foot Of Nesuvius that they have be- i AH..... Central Europe is becoming similarly culonaed to the rumblings Of Soviet Russia. II realizes that the threatened lafa stream from the east may run over Europe someday. but there Is no longer any general disposition to lie awake al night and worry over it be- cause tho volcano has been unusually noisy

Coalition Discussed.

The possibility of a combination by
which a majority can still be found
to support Premier Poincare's for
eign policy in the chamber was still
being discussed this afternoon. 1t
depends entirely on the adhension of
the forty-nine sdissident radicals to
such program.
Old-t time politicians say that these
radicals, in view OF the sweeping
victory of their party yesterday, will
promptly cease their dfSaffection and
get aboard the band wagon" so to
speak. in order to participate in the
conduct of the affairs of France.
An analysis of the official figures
shows that if the dissident radicals
who supported Premier Poincare in
the preceding chamber continued to
vote for him he would have about
276 votes out of the total of 5s4, the
full membership of the chamber,
2s2, with sixteen seats yet to be
allotted.
Experts in parliamentary affairs.
however, express the opinion that
the forty-nine dissident radicals will

CROPS AND GARDENS HIT.
Shenandoah Valley Water Report
ed Highest in IS Years.

HARRISONBURG, Va, May 12.-As
the Shenandoah Valley countryside
began emerging from its biggest
flood in twenty-five years this morn
ing the small streams continued to
empty their flood waters into the
Shenandoah River, which already
was raging. The river had risen
more than ten feet.
Had the water in the boiler room
of the steam plant on the Shenan-
doah River raised one inch more
than 1t did raise, the fires would have
been flooded and the plant closed.
Greatest damage, it is believed, will
be to crops and gardens, although
there will be considerable property
loss in Harrisonburg, the Easements
of a dozen business houses and more
than 100 residences being flooded.
Families along Blacks Run, through
the city, moved their property last
night, but the water began falling
before midnight. With water from
six inches to six feet deep across
the roadway, automobile traffic on the
valley pike north and south was
halte Many automobiles are stranded
on the pike between here and Win
chester, to the north, and Waynes-
boro, to the south: Tourists aband oned
their cars and spent the night at the
first house they struck. One stretch
of pike a half mile long was sub
merged.

GIFTS TO MAYFIElD

HUNTER DENIES CHARGES
Attorney Says His Total Contribu.
tion Was Only $3.50.

Temporarily putting aside the
question of ku klux klan participa-
tion in the Texas senatorial election
of 1922, the Senate committee investi-
eating George Il. b. Peddy's contest
for the seat occupied by Senator
Mayfield today took up the charges
of excessive campaign expenditures
by the Mayfield supporters.
T. +. Hunter, an attorney of Wichi-
Ia Falls, Tex, was questioned about
campaign finances after T. r. Boone
of the same place had testified that
Mayfield told him Hunter was one
of his Largest campaign contribu-
tors"
Luther Nickels. attorney for Ped
dy, directed Hunter to tell what cam
paign funds he raised for Mayfeld.
He replied that he never made any
payment directly to Mayfield. but had
paid $3.50 toward his election.
The witness said he could not re-
member conversation described by
Boone. where Mayfield was alleged to
have mentioned the campaign contri-
button. Nickels sought for details
as to the circumstan under which
the conversation took place. Both
witnesses testified that Mayfield, then
Texas railroad commissioner, was
hearing at the time an application
Company to drill an oil well on it's
right Nckels then sought
to show that both witnesses had an
interest in the decision of the case.
Denies Any Connection.
Nickels further suggested that
Hunter had been given, by Mayfield' S
permission: a permit to, drill an oil

this.
Was there any relation between
your campaign contribution and the
granting of these DermitS?" ask ed

Not the least" Hunter answered.
Danziger Brothers, an oil firm in
terested in permits before the Texas
railroad commission. gave $3.50 of
the $3.50 Hunter raised, he testified.
while $50 came from another man
The balance he paid himself.
There was some discussion as to
the circumstances under which the
permit was issued. Senator Mayfield
had one vote out of three on the
railroad commission: and Allison
Mayfield. now dead. had second.
Hunter said he got both of the May
fields votes.
Calls Question Insult.
Nickels asked Hunter If he had ever
tried to get $1,000 from a third in
dividual a s a fee for getting a permit
Hunter said the question was insult
ing.
"All right" Nickels responded. TIL

Hunter said under questioning that
Senator MayfieId had met him at the
train when he arrived in Washing
ton to testify. but had asked him 'to

G. C. Wood, a Texas oil producer,
testified to being solicited for May
field campaign funds on the ground
that Mayfield had always been fair
to the oil interests" He did not con-
tribute at the time, he said. but
