RIVER RISING;
Rain HOLDSO
Up Six Inches Here, And
Expected to go Still
Higher Soon

After dropping about two feet at San
Benito, and foot here, the Rio Grande
has started back again. and is near
the top of it's levees. The river is ex-
pected to near the top Of the levees
at San Benito and Brownsville
The rise was reported yesterday at
Mission and Rio Grande City, and
reached the lower part of the Valley
today.
At noon today the Rio Grande was at
IDS at Brownsville, which is six inches
higher than it was yesterday afternoon
when it had gone down to IA feet on the
guage at the international bridge.
At San Benito the river is at 21.9
rise of 1.9 feet since yesterday after
noon, and was reported rising slowly
Brownsville, with rise of from one to
two feet or more at both Brownsville
and San Benito Indicated
In the past 36 hours the river had
gone up only. a foot at Mission, being
at 14.2, ora little more than half bank
ful there at noon today.
Although no definite reports. are
available from Rio Grande City is be-
lieved the river is much higher there
due to flood waters which have come
down the San Juan and Rio Salado on
the Mexico side of the Rio Grande.
The Lower Valley is preparing to
work on levees again, as the rain which
has been falling aroun Brownsville anc
in other parts of the county today will
keep levees soft, and make it neces-
sary to watch the levees more closely.
Water has already gone through ir
the neighborhood of Villanueva anc
has spread out over the country to the
highway, being along the highway or
both sides of the road, and not more
than two feet from the top of the pave
ment in places.

with a trace of rain, leaving a
total of six days in the month
in which there was no rain.
The forecast today is for more rain
with little prospect for clearing up in
the near future. Heavy rains fell to-
day at Galveston and Corpus Christi,
and it rained in Brownsville about
noon, 81 Of an inch having failed up
to l o'clock.
The chances of a change in the moon
changing the weather are considered
rather negligible by w. j. Schnurbach,
local neteorologist. who recognizes the
story told by his meteorological instru-
ments, but no superstitution.
He sums it up in this fashion,:
"The moon and the weather
May change together,
But change of the moon
Does not change the weather"
The rhyme goes on to say that if we
had no moon at all, which would indeed
be a strange situation, we would still
have weather, which is not strange at
all There will be a full moon at mid
night tomorrow.
IN the year 1886 September was a
very rainy month In that month a
total of 30.57 inches of rain fell, which
is a little better than an inch day
The next heaviest monthly rainfall is
about two inches under the total for
the present month.
The average number Of rainy days in
September, which is rainy month, over
the past 81 years is nine days. The
least September rainfall in the past Sd
years was "a inches, in 1920 Total
rainfall that year was 20.79, which is
about six inches above the yearly aver
age over the past 81 years, showing
that it was not an abnormally yeal
year. but Just dry September.
The average rainfall for September
during the past 54 years is 5.45 inches
statistics released by Mr.. Sshnurbusch
show.
In the 24-hour period from O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, September 6 to
o'clock the next afternoon a total o1
1898 inches of rain fell in Browns
vile which is believed to be a RECORD
for "a hour period although no sta
tistics are available on this except fol
the past three years. It is record fol
that period.

In Wisconsin
(By the Associated Press J

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 30.-Wis-
consin again has placed the stamp of
approval on the name of La Toilette.
The thirty-year old son Of its late SEN
ator was chosen at a special election to
represent the badger state in the United
States senate.
Large majorities were gwen Robert
M. La Toilette, Jr., in all counties but
Rock, home of the stalwart section Of
the republican party which refused to
bow to La Toilette.
The other three counties of the first
congress ssional district, formerly con-
sidered invulnerable when the right
wing of Wisconsin republicanism was
being put to the test, failed TO show the
staunchness exhibited by their sistRr
county of Rock. Racine showed the
greatest weakness and capitulated to
La Toilette by almost two to one
margin, while Kenosha was lost to the
regulars by ZIG votes and Walworth
went over to the La Toilette camp by
1876 votes.
Nine other counties were carried by
La Toilette by less than two to one
thirteen went to him by approximately
two to one, while his strenuous strength
was shown in two counties-Calumet
Kewaunee-where the new senator ran
ten to one ahead of his leading oppo-
nent, Edward F. Dithmar of Baraboo a
republican running as an independent.
| The strength Of La Toilette was
plainly shown by the percentage Of the
votes in other counties of the state
Of these, he carried eight by more thar
two and half toe one, eleven by more
than three to one, four by three and
| five to one, four by six to one and one
| by seven to one.
! With 315 precincts of the 1892 in the
state missing owing to the heavy rain
storm in the northwest section of the
state, La Toilette showed plurality Of
/ 134,544 over Dithmar and majority Of
1895.

NAVY BLAMED
FOR DISASTERS
BY MITCHELL
Ex-Air Chief on Stand in
Probe Declares Send
ing Shenandoah West
Was Violation of Law
CBv the Associated press)


WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept.
80. - Responsibility for the
Shenandoah disaster and failure
of the navy. airplane PN-9 num-
Der l to reach Hawaii was placed
directly on the heads of the navy
department today by Colonel
William Mitchell in testimony
before the presidents aircraft
board.
The sending of. the big dirigi-
BILE into the middle west was
in direct violation of law" he
asserted, and arrangements made
for the PN-9 flight looked like
the work of "bungling anna
teurs.'
The former assistant chief Of the
air service severely criticized the work
of the navy in arranging equipment for
the navy contingent accompanying the
Macmillan artctic expedition. declaring
fragrant" mistakes made in prepara-
tion for three aeronautical events.
made it impossible for airmen to re-
main silent.
By sending the Shenandoah to the
Middle West, he insisted the navy vio-
lated the law because in time of peace
land activities belong to the army.
The big dirigible, he charged, was
not equipped with parachutes, "this is
like sending a ship to sea without life
boats" he added.
No Obsolete Vessels
Engineering data, he asserted, showed
the PN-9 could not possibly have reach
ed Honolulu without refueling enroute
and that the planes sent to the Arctic
were designed and built for service in
the tropics and along the Atlantic
coast.
"Yet these planes" he added, "were
sent to the Arctic regions where Off
GERS in charge of planning the expedi-
tion expected them to give satisfactory
service.
Col. Mitchell declared an attempt to
get obsolete vessels from the navy for
target practice brought reply from
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Robin
son that there were "no obsolete YES
sels"
''It might be we'll to build pontoons
and RATS for this purpose" he said in
reply to question, adding "the point
is we can't be checked off this way
when everybody else is going ahead"
Discussing the Lassiter aircraft re-
port, Colonel Mitchell declared that
the Secretary Of Navy repeatedly de-
clined to accept any SUGGESTIONS which
would link the army and navy air ser
vices, even declining the proposal oi
the secretary Of war that appropriations
for the two services be considered
jointly.
He read the testimony given by Sc
cretary Weeks before a house commit
tee in which he said that for the navy
to get more money for aviation thar
