Proposed Change
Surprises Washington

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 30.-News
Of an impending change in French am
bassadors to Washington was received
here with apparent surprise.
So far as disclosed M. Daeschner's
contacts with the American government
all have been of an agreeable character,
and he has made many friends in AM
erican official life.
There is no doubt, however, that in
on respect his mission to the United
States has failed. 1t was generally un-
derstood when he succeeded Jules Jus
serand that his major duty would be
to pave the way for settlement of the
French war debt, apd to that end he had
many conferences with American Of
ficials.
It was apparent, too, that the French
debt commission headed by Joseph
Caillaux reached Washington it be-
lieved itself to have been fully inform
ed through the French embassy here of
the American attitude but found later
that it had INDUCED in overconfidence
as to a settlement on acceptable terms.

THE WEATHER

For Brownsville and the Lower Rio
Grande Valley: Cloudy and continued
cold tonight; Saturday partly cloudy
with slowly rising temperature.
For East Texas: Generally fair to-
night; colder in south portion; probably
freezing in interior and frost to the
coast. Saturday partly cloudy with
rising temperature. Fresh northerly
winds on the coast, diminishing tonight.
Small craft warnings are displayed on
the Texas coast today for fresh and oc-
casionally strong northerly winds.
barometric pressure continued mod
erately high, and temperatures unsea-
sonably low practically throughout the
region from the Rocky Mountains and
Texas to the Atlantic coast. Pretty gen.
eral precipitation developed also in the
region named since last report. A dis

WILL CONTINUE
Schnurbusch Sees Rising
Temperature About
Sunday

Steady northerly winds. bringing a
slow drizzle, kept the temperature how
ering around the 45 degree mark here
today. with forecast for about the
same weather conditions until late to-
morrow or Sunday The temperature at
2:3O today was 45 degrees.
w. J. Schnurbusch, gmeteorologist
here, reported this morning mini
mum temperature last night of Az de-
grees, the same as the preceding night,
with forecast for temperatures in the
same neighborhood tonight and tomor-
row.
The first appearance of the sun
through the grey clouds hanging over
the Valley will bring rapidly rising
temperatures, as the weather map of
the state shows that the cold wave is
being dissipated, and that warmer wea-
ther is being welcomed in most sec
tions, Mr. Schnurbusch said.
While only light mist fell in
Brownsville this morning, starting
shortly before daylight, heavier rains
were reported from the upper Valley.
In the Mercedes neighborhood there
was steady rain last night, and con-
tinued rainfall this morning.

new PLAN FOR
DREDGING BAR
IS SUGGESTED
Senator Sheppard Pro-
mises Aid in Follow
ing Up Major Schley's s
Recommendations

A new plan for completing
the dredging work at the bar Of
Brazos Santiago pass as part of
the Point Isabel 1harbor project
has been suggested by Majos j.
l.. Schley, y. S. army engineer
for this district, according to a
telegram received yesterday by
the Brownsville Chamber of
Commerce from Senator Norris
Sheppard at Washington.
In this telegram Mr.. Sheppard
expresses his intention Of tax
ing up with General Taylor, head
of the U. S. army engineers, the
proposed plan in an effort to Sc
cure completion of the harbor
project.
The telegram follows:
Returning here from Port Arthur,
Texas, | find your letters of October
10. 1 conferred again with Major
Schley at Port Arthur in regard to the
channel across the bar of Brazos- San
tlago pass.
He says he has submitted plan to
General Taylor. i will take up the
matter with General Taylor and ad-
wise as 20 the outlook.
'The plans must first be considered
by the division engineer at New Orleans
before reaching Washington.
Il will also take up the air mail mat
ter and advise
The proposed plan is the result Of a
recent visit of Major Schley, and other
army engineers. to Point Isabel, where
several days were spent in making an
investigation of the port situation with
a view of seeking feasible plan of
completing it.
At that time Major Schley explained
that the difficulty in dredging the
channel arises over the rough and
shallow condition Of water over the
bar. 1t is believed that the water is
too rough for a light dredge, and too
shallow for a heavy dfedge.

action from the cold wave in the Rocky
mountain and Central states was prom
ised for today and tomorrow, though
prospects were that Halloween would
see snow. Seasonal temperatures were
forecast for Sunday
This cheering information from the

ed crops suffered heavily from frost.
Colorado cultivators of the spud
suffered loss of a half million dol
lars and prices jumped from $3.50 to
$500 a hundred pounds.
Government reports said some 700
carloads of potatoes were ruined dur
ing the last fortnight. Growers near
Davenport, Iowa, estimated their loss
at about 20 percent. Minnesotas loss
was less, since the bulk of the crop
has been harvested.
Nebraska yesterday took from South
Dakota the honor of beiag the coldest

ration last January in fragments, Gov
ernor Tom j. Terral today was rushing
back toward the state line in the hope
of preventing Acting Governor S. B.
Mccall from adding to the list of nine
pardons already issued.
In addition to granting clemency to
nine persons, including three men con-
iyicted of misuse of state funds. the
acting governor has approved the bond
of Frank Horsefall, avowed enemy of
Goverrier Terral, as disbursing agent
of the fourth district agricultural col
lege, and appointed DR.. L. M. Hill Of
Little Rock, whose name had been held
up several months by Terral, to mem
bership on the state board of chiro-

Mccall stated last night that he has
now reached all the meritorioas cas-

vestigate. He denied conniving with
the governor in an effort to circumvent

(Bv The Associated Press. }


PARIS, Oct. 30.-It is learn
ed on high authority that Sem
ator Victor Henry Berenger
will be appointed shortly to sue
ceed Emile Daeschner as French
ambassador to the United
States. The decision Of the.
government to change ambas-.
sadors is closely related to the
American debt funding negotia-
tiOns.
Foreign Minister BRAND has.
impressed upon Premier Pain
leve and others of his colleagues
in the cabinet that another eff
fort should be made to settle
the debt.
Senator Berenger is regarded
as the best man available to
bring this about. TN
Premier Painleve was at first dis
posed to allow the American debt ques-
tion to rest for the time being, regard
ing it as less pressing than other fl
nancial problems confronting the gov-
ernment. Foreign Minister Briand, how-
ever, did acquiesce in this view and in
sisted upon an endeayor to find an adj
justment.
The premier is re-examining the prob
lem with that purpose in mind, and is
said to have full confidence in NJ. Ber-
enger's initiative and resources.

ment contends, makes no difference,

Colonel Moreland opened today's

Bill of Particulars Denied

Colonel Moreland rejoined that this

already rejected ones challenging the
courts jurisdiction.
A bill of particulars, he added,
is not called for in such cases as
this. 1t is to be remembered that
the specifications are now an integral
part of the court record. There is no

u. 5. ASSAILS
FRENCH LEADER
General In Command In
Syria Likely to be
Removed
fBv The Associated Press.l

by Inc ASSOGidtcu Il 1891
PARIS. Oct. 30.-American official
reports presented to the French for
eing office by the American embassy
on instructions from Washington
have given the French government
more information about the actions IN
Syria of General Sarrail, French high
commissioner, than Paris has received
from General Sarrail himself, it was
learned today.
The American reports narrated in
considerable detail the scenes which
occurred during the French lombard
ment at Damascus on October Is to 20
and related amazing extraordinary in
cidents accompanying the lombard
ment.
General Sarrail virtually has ignored
an urgent telegraphic message from the
French government demanding full
report of the Damascus affair. He
answered merely by sending a short
dispatch, saying that he already had
mailed report on Tuesday last which
should arrive in Paris in day or two.
The British foreign office has in
formed the French government of the
reports it has received from the British
consul in Damascus describing "atro-
cities of General Sarrail's regime. 1t
is understood that the high commits
sioner has reported to Paris that the
British consul has been one Of his bit
terest opponents in Syria and that the
consul actually wrote some seditlous
posters in the native language which
have been used by insurgent leaders.
The recall of General Sarrail, al
though not yet determined upon, is re-
garded as likely to come within short
time.
