RIVER RISING
RAPIDLY; MAY
FLOOD VALLEY
New Rainfall Reported
In Eagle Pass Section;
Flood Stage Passed
at Rio Grande City

With flood stage passed at Rio
Grande City and a new high
water level of SO feet at Eagle
Pass caused by additional rains,
indications are that the Lower
Rio Grande Valley will expert
ence a flood from the Rio Gran
de during the next 48 hours,
with the rise predicted to start
here tonight.
The prediction is based by w.
j.. Schnurbusch, meteorologist
of the local weather bureau Of
flee, on reports today from va
rious points along the course of
the river.
At 10 o'clock this morning the river
stood at ID feet, or one foot below flood
stage, at Rio Grande City, and was still
rising rapidly, with indications that
it would pass the flood stage soon
after noon.
And new rainfall in the upper water
torrent into-the stream near Eagle Pass,
/, a rise of II feet being reported there
lin the past "a hours. bringing the river
to 80 feet Flood stage at Eagle Pass
is is feet. The bridge at that point
was washed out earlier this week, by
a rise which followed the first heavy
rains.
Heavy rainfall has been reported
from the Del Rio and Eagle Pass sec
tions.
Most of the flood water now filling
the Rio Grande to its banks, and threat
ening to overflow onto Valley land IS
being carried down by the Salado, on
the Mexico side Of the Rio Grande.
Heavy rains are reported in the water
shed of this river, although no rain
fall has been reported in the San Juan
river water shed, and no rise in that
stream is reported
The first touch of the rise in the
river will probably reach Mission early
this afternoon, and is expected in
Brownsville some time during the night,
with the crest of the flood stage coming
some time afterward probably next
week.
At Laredo the river is at % feet,
and still rising, 27 feet being flood stage
at that point
An Associated Press dispatch sent
out from San Antonio states that flood
conditions brought on by heavy rains
in the southwest and west prevailed
along the Rio Grande today, and resi-
dents in reach Of the flood waters,
warned after the "a foot rise which
swept down the river yesterday, taking
two lives, are moving to safety.

Settlement Of Question
of Security Near
Solution
fBy The Associated Pressl

PARIS, May 3O-The French and
British government have reached an ac-
cord on all essential points concerning
the Western European security pact
proposed by Germany, it was stated in
official circles today
The British note to the French gov
ernment detailing the British attitude,
delivered yesterday by Lord Crewe,
British ambassador, marks progress to-
ward the point where actual negoti-
ations of the pact itself may begin, Of
fic;als believe.
few minor points remain to be
threshed out by Franco-British nego-
tiations before the French reply to the
German security pact proposed will be
sent to Berlin. However, if the opti-
mism prevailing today at the French
foreign office is fully justified, active
negotiations may be expected in month
or six weeks.
1t was understood the nateg exchang-
ed by the British and French govern

many's frontiers with Poland and
Czecho Slovakia, as we'll al the Franco
German frontier.
The assumption, from the declar-
atons that Britain and France have
agreed on all essentials was that way
has been found to adjust London's prev
iOus disinclination to include the east
ern frontiers in the proposed pact, with
the French insistence that both the
eastern and western frontiers Of Ger
many be considered

CHICAGO MAY GET BOUT
SOMETHING DURING JULY

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. ll.-(P-
The proposed heavyweight champion
ship bout between Jack Dempsey and
Harry Wills, negro, will "in all likeli-
hood" be held near Chicago some
time in July, Ray Cannon, attorney
for Dempsey, told the Associated
Press here today.
Cannon said Floyd Fitzsimmons
probably would be the promoter. He
met Fitzsimmons in Chicago yester-
day, Cannon said, and Fitzsimmons
showed him tentative contract pre-
pared By a Chicago syndicate, with
the financial terms subsequently the
same as those contained in the South
Bend contract with Fitzsimmons,
which had been invaldated because
the South Bend syndicate could not
post the required forfeits.
Cannon Said that while the con.
tract offered by the Chicago syn
dictate was not acceptable in its
present terms, it might be ironed out
SO as to become acceptable. He in
Dictated the chief difficulty was in
the matter of payment
All concerned seemed to think it
would be preferable to hold the
fight in July rather than in Septem-
Der, Cannon said.
