San juan Is
REPORTED AT
NORMALSTACE
Relief Expected Soon
in Lower Valley; FL
Jardin Road is Being
Flooded Again

Relief was felt in the Lower
Valley today as reports came
from upper Valley stations in
dicating that the Rio Grande is
either falling Or stationary, and
the stream here is at. a stand
still. Men are still patrolling the
levees in the Brownsville and
San Benito districts. No breaks
are expected.
At 9 o'clock this morning the
Rio Grande stood only three feet
above normal at Rio Grande
City, in spite Of predictions that
it would rise following the high
er stage at Del Rio.
At San Juan the river had gone down
half foot since noon yesterday, and
all levees were holding in good shape.
"A drop of more than foot was re-
corded last night and yesterday after
noon at Mission, and the drop was felt
at Mercedes, where the stream went
down from the top of the levees six
inches.
From La Feria on to Brownsville
the river was reported at stand
still this morning, with all the
levees holding. At San Benito
it had gone down less than an inch,
standing at 24.35 today. The levees
around San Benito were considerel as
safe, with no danger of break
These reports, coupled with the auth
entic advices from the Mexico side to-
day that the San Juan is back almost to
normal, lead to the prediction Of relief
throughout the Valley in a few days,
the fall in the river in Hidalgo county
being due here in several days.
Water which came over the banks of
the river south Of Brownsville, in the
Tomates bend section, is backing up to
Fourteenth street in Ell Jardin, as it did
during the high stage here in June.
The water was starting over Four
teenth street beyond the city limits to-
day, and it is expected that this road
will not be available for use by tomor-
row. In other sections of Ell Jardin
water is still standing from the heavy
rains here Sunday and Monday, being
up to the floors of some houses in parts
Of that district. Flood water has done
no damage other than shut Off some
roads,

Kinds REPORT
Is AWAITED in
MITCHELLCASE
E x-Air Chiefs Com
mander Expected to
Establish Authencity
OF Attacks

WASHINGTON, D. g., Sept 12-
, The war department is awaiting a
report forwarded by Major Gen. Ernest
Kinds. eighth corps area commander
which is understood to advance to a
more important stage its procedure in
determining whether Col. William Nit
chelPs attack against the army and navy
air service administration calls for dis
ciplinary action.
The department, as the first step in
the necessary routine in such cases, is
seeking to obtain Col. Mitchell's formal
nowledgment of his published char
ges and the officer stated at his San
Antonio post yesterday that he had
given this last Tuesday before General
Hind forwarded his report Thus, if
the report contains the required facts,
the proposed trip to San Antonio OF
Col. George A. Nugent, assigned to in
vestigate the matter, will not be neces-
sary to bring it to the next stage of
development.
With the case thus being expedited
through war department channels, Pre-
sident Coolidge has let it be konwn
that he intends ia await developments
there without personally intervening, be-
lieving the case one to be dealt with
under army regulations.
Emphatic defense Of the navy and its
air service administration is made in a
statement by Rear Admiral William A.
Moffett, chief of its bureau Of aero
nautics who, without mentioning the
name Of Col. Mitchell, declared recent
charges against them were false and
a slander on their personnel"
g am ready to disprove these charges
by testimony under OATH" he said, 1t
is no longer question as to aviation
and the best weapons for national de-
fense but whether truth, honor. loyalty
and respect for constituted legal author
ity shall prevail.

HAWAIIFLIERS
HOPED TOFLOAT
ON TO ISLANDS
Men Disappointed at Be-
ing Rescued Only Is
Miles OFF Shore; Eff
fort to Radio Failed
(By- the Associated Press,

HONOLULU, Sept. 12.-Disappoint-
ment followed hope among the mem
bers of the crew of the seaplane PN-9
submarine R-4 at sundown Thursday
off the Hawaiian coast Is miles from
land
Members of the crew today explained
they didn't want to be found just Is
miles off shore. They wanted to drift
in the remaining distance, make the ele-
ment of surprise upon their return to
land greater and enjoy the satisfaction
of knowing the trip from San Francisco
to Honolulu, while not without mishap,
was made without assistance.
The frantic but systematic efforts OF
Otto G. Stantz, radio operator, to CON
struct sending apparatus aboard the
plane, was told by members Of the crew.
Stantz was able to receive broadcast
ed messages and he remained up night
and day at this duty. One of the mes
sages he picked up told of the Shenan-
doah disaster, another told of the con-
ference of Fl commanders aboard the
U. S. S. Langley at which the word was
aired that hope was given up of finding
Commander Rodgers and his men alive.
Reduced to radio terms, Stantz en-
deavored to construct transmitter by
using spark coil in place of d gener-
ator. This effort was partially success
full.
One of the searching vessels heard
the faint call of the PN-9, but could not
recognize the signals long enough to
get the position of the disabled sea-
plane.
Among numerous details and incl
dents Of which Commander Rodgers told
1t seemed that the crew felt most keen
ly shortage of tobacco. Cur cigarettes
ran out too quickly he said, until
among the five men we only had three
cigars left. One was lighted and the
lighter would take a few puffs and then
hang 1T up on wire so that the next
man could get some 'drags.'"
In this manner the five men smoked
up the last of their tobacco supply.
The first thing they asked for when
taken out of their plane by the, sub
marine R-4 Was cigarettes.

TITLERETAINED
BY BERLENBACH
Light Heavyweight Wins
From Slattery in
Eleventh
(Bv the Associated Press)

NEW YORK. N. Y, Sept. 12.-Paul
Berlenbach continues to reign king of
the light heavyweights. In his first de-
Tense of the title he acquired by de-
cision over Mike McTigue last May, he
scored technical knockout over Jimmy
Slattery, Buffalo middle-weight after
one minute and 20 seconds in the 11th
round at the Yankees starium last night.
Weight and experience counted
against Slattery. He entered the ring
ten and one-half pounds lighter than
the champion and it was his initial
start over the Is round distance. as the
fact that he was under 81 had limited
him to six round bouts in New York
previously. Slattery fought gamely
to the last. His downfall started in the
eighth with savage blows from Berlen-
bach. Slattery was groggy in the ninth
and in the tenth he was floored three
times, the bell coming to his rescue. In
the eleventh he went down three times
for the count Of nine and then the re-
feree held up Berlenbach's hand.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 12.-The

Although the weather map showed
