Swift Water Holds Up Recovery Of

the steamer M. e. Norman, which
capsized near Coahoma Island, Miss,
Friday, with loss of probably 23
lives, today were forced temporarily
to forego their efforts. The current
was found to, be too swift.
Work of recovering bodies, until
the current subsidies, will be confined
to efforts to tear away enough of the
superstructure to permit the, current
to wash bodies out where they may
be recovered, it was said. A derrick
boat was anchored over the sunken
craft today.
United States Engineers in charge
of the work are doing everything in
their power to recover the bodies.
Major Connally, who is in charge of
the Engineer Corps fleet here and
who was on the craft has been at the
scene virtually all of the time.
Probability that bodies may be dis
covered many miles down the river,
was expressed by rivermen. 1t was
pointed out that there was big ed
dy a short distance from the scene of
the sinking and that it was probable
that some of the bodies were in this
place.

French Countess
Given s Years for
Shooting Husband

Saint Brieus, France, May 10
(AP)-Countess de Herninon today
was sentenced to eight years imprison-
ment for shooting her husband on Au-
gust 2, 1924. The count died 10 days
later.
The trial attracted great attention
throughout France. The count was the
last of his name. He traced his ances-
tors back to the time of the Crusaders.
The convicted woman was a former
singer in cabarets in northern Africa
where the count met her as a young
officer 35 years ago.
The countess shot her husband when
he refused to sign deeds of his proper
ty over to her. She complained that
he was dissipating his patrimony with
young woman. The countess pleaded
that the shooting was due to an acct
dent.

cases and guarded by armed state
policemen.

More Deaths Among
Boy Babies Than Girls
Due to Natal Vitality

Washington, May 1o-A fourth
higher death rate among boy babies
than girls before the first year of
age was reported by the Childrens'
Bureau today as one of the facts es-
tablished in the NEST comprehensive
study of infant mortality it as vet
made in furtherance of its efforts to
reduce the rate in the United
States. The variation in the sexes
was said to be explainable only by a
difference in natal vitality.
The health records with their
first year of $4,000 babies in eigh.
cities were studied as a basis for the
report, which cited that most recent
statistics indicate that $4,000 in
fants under one year die in this
country annually and that $4,000 of
these fail to survive the first month.

Some Defiant, Send Word Are
Not Cutters and Will Cling
to Present Stamping Ground
Dry Navy Prepared to
Keep Up Campaign All Sum-
mer - Little Amount of
Liquor Leaking Through

Washington, May 10-(AP)-The
coastguard is ready to settle down
to summers work in it's campaign
to break up the rum fleet off New
York. It's efforts may bear fruit
sooner, but it was said today that
Rear Admiral Billiard, coastguard
commandant, will be satisfied If ap-
preciable disintegration of the fleet
begins within month.
Some of the ships in Rum Row
have sent word that they are not
cutters and so coast guard officials
expect that a few of them will not
dip their colors and retire until their
supplies have been exhausted. To
those persistent shippers the admiral
replies that coastguarl crews will
stand by as long as necessary.
officials. have accepted report of
departure of some of the rum ships
as meaning that the smugglers are
looking for weaker spots in the
coastguard blockade. Lieutenant
Commander Yeandle. the command
ants aide, also sees in the maneuvers
an attempt to draw some of the dry
fleet away and thus permit fast mo-
tor craft from shore to establish con-
tact with the liquor laden vessels re-
naming.
Evidence has been received that
new additions to the rum fleet would
go to other points instead of waiting
off New York and contiguous terri
tory. Several ships not hitherto re-
cognized in the Row off New York
have appeared near the Virginia
Capes, and the entrance to Chesa-
peake Bay.
Some liquor has gone through the
bay entrance but the official oellef
is that the amount landed is slowly
decreasing. The same efforts are be-
ing made around the Florida and
Gulf coasts but officials have admit
ted that these sections are among
the worst with which they have to
deal.
Coastguard headquarters received
few reports today from it's outlying
commands. Commander Yeandle ex-
plained, however, that such a condi-
ton did not mean that the crews OF
the patrols were inactive.

The navy dirigible Los Angeles re-
turned early today from her pioneer
flight to Porto Rico. The ship was
sighted over the landing field at o:lO

French Not Advised
Any u. S. Debt Note
Sent Ambassador

Paris, May 10 (AP)-The French
foreign office this evening expressed
complete ignorance regarding any
debt note which it was reported from
Washington the American govern
ment had forwarded to Myron L.
Herrick, the American ambassador,
for transmission to the French gov
eminent.
A resumption of negotiations at
Paris regarding settlement of the
French debt to the United States
would cause no surprise. 1t is said
that this would be the logical result
Of the conversations M. Daeschner,
the French ambassador, has been
having on the subject since he took
UP the post in Washington.
The French say they will welcome
any suggestions emanating from
Washington on the debt question
should Mr.. Herrick bring up the mat
ter. There is feeling that the con-
versations between M. Daeschner and
the American government have
reached the stage where the French
government must be consulted and
some basic starting point for nego-
tiations and final settlement agreed
upon.
Mr.. Herrick will return to Paris
tomorrow.
