RIO CRANDE
RISING AGAIN
Above Flood Stage at
Rio Grande City;
Rising Here

More flood water is on its way into
the Lower Valley.
This flood water is coming down from
Rio Grande City and Mission, the crest
being expected at Mission in the next
"a hours, and will pour down on the
Lower Valley with the Rio Grande al
ready within foot of the top of its
levees.
The river went down three inches
here yesterday afternoon late and early
last night, and came back up this morn
ing to 14.8, where it was standing at
noon today, practically at standstill.
The river fell Tuesday at San Benito,
and dropped some there early yesterday,
although it was at a standstill later
in the day, and started up in the after
noon.
The Rio Grande stood at 10 feet,
or four feet above flood stage, at Rio
Grand City shortly before noon today,
and the crest of this flood was expected
at Mission in the next "a hours, the
river being at ia there. Flood stage
at Mission is "a feet.
No accurate reports on the source Of
the present flood are available, reports
on the flood from the San Antonio
Weather Bureau office being very
meagre, but it is believed that the water
is coming from the San Juan and
Salado, as there is no flood water pass
ing Laredo.
Rail service is still being maintained
on the Mexico side, in spite of breaks
at places up the river.
Only minor breaks have been reported
on this side of the river.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. /.
Secretary Wilbur has no inten-'
ton Of bowling to the demands
which certain newspapers haFE
been making editorially that he
resign his navy portfolio.
Cushioned as to his attitude
toward such suggestions, which
generally have been coupled with
discussion of recent accidents
in the navy, the secretary de-
clared:
II expect to stay right here
on the job and have no intention
of resigning."
Asserting the efficiency and courage.
of the naval personnel had never been
at higher level than it Is now, Mr..
Wilbur declared that ip none Of the
recent naval accidents had there been
failure of any man entrusted with
authority to show courage. resource

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct Naval
air officers told the presidents air
board today that there is a hesitancy
among some junior officers to freely
express their views before investigat-
ing bodies.
Existence Of this condition was char
ged yesterday by Col. VIM. Mitchell,
instigator of the present aircraft con-.
troversy. 1t was developed by Senator
Bingham Of Connecticut, in questioning
witnesses, the first of whom was Lieut..
Commander R. R. Paunack, that the
naval bureau Of aeronauties urged cre-
alton Of separate air corps in the
navy and recommended establishing an
advance school for training Of naval
air officers.
About sixty or seventy percent Of
naval flyers, he said. are in favor of
separate air corps, but the desire for
an independent air service has "faded
away entirely.
Much dissatisfaction exists, he con-
tinued, over the present nval air organ
ization because pilots want contrak of
the aviation affairs placed in the hands
Of flying men.

FRENCH OFFER
TOPAY FOUND
UNACCEPTABLE
Committee Informs Pres
ident on Status of Par
ley; No Settle ment
Possible, Member Says
(By the Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 1.-The
French proposal for settlement of her
war debt to the United States has been
found unacceptable.
After a conference at fhe White
House today between President Cool
idgge and the American debt commits
sion a statement was issued by Secre-
tary Mellon for the committee which
called on the president which declared
that no proposal had been submitted to
Mr.. Coolidge for his approval or dis
approval.
The statement said:
The representation in the press on
the supposed authority of member of
the French commission that agreement
has been reached and purporting to
give the terms is entirely incorrect.
Such statement obviously did not
come from NJ Caillaux becausaf before
the adjournment of the sub-oorf mittees
last evening the French membf frs were
informed by the American members
that their proposals were noYlikely to
be accepted.
"There have been no differences of
opinion whatever amongst the American
commission. The visit to the president
this morning was to inform him of the
position of negotiations, 10 proposals
have been made acceptable 10 the Amer
ican commission and none has been
submitted to the president for his ap-
proval or disapproval.
Some members of the American COM
mission were of the opinion that no
possibility of an agreement with the
French was apparent at thiss stage.
One member felt that the two conh-
missions were as far apart as they
were upon presentation by Finance
Minister Caillaux of his first settle-
ment proposal last Thursday.

Defeated in the United States
Senate Today, BY Vote
of 43 to 36

Washington, Jan. pa proposal
to reduce second class mail rates to
the 1920 level was rejected by the
Senate today, as an amendment to
the postal pay and rate increase bill.
Defeat Of the amendment offered
by Senator George, Democrat, Georg-
ia, by vote of 43 to 36, opened the
way for action on the increase in
these rates proposed by the bill.
A proposal to make the 1920 rates
effective only to newspapers then
was defeated also, 65 to 81, on mo-
tion of Senator McKeller, Democrat,
Tennessee.
On motion of Senator Oddie, Re-
publican, Nevada, the Senate then
voted to exempt publications sub
ject to first and second zone mail
rates from the one cent pound in
crease in rate proposed in the bill.
AS a result, the rate on second class
mail sent in the first two zones is
retained at two cents pound.

Scranton, Pa, Jan. 29.-Illuminat-

six lives, members of the family Of
Louis Horosini, in West Scranton.
The dead are Mr.. and Mrs. Horos-

Many other families of the neigh

managed to make their escape to the

A passer-by early today smelled
escaping gas and, unable to arouse
those within the Horosini residence
called help and forced the door. At
discovery of the family lying in beds
in the gas filled rooms, several ply
sicians with pulmotors were rushed
to West Scranton. All attempts to
revive the victims, however, proved
vain.
