RIVER RISES
RAPIDLY HERE
Water from San Juan or
Salado; Stage Still
Below Bankfull

The Rio Grande started up here late
yesterday afternoon, after dropping
slowly for the past few weeks. 1t was
still few feet above normal when the
tim when the Lower Rio Grande Valley
present rise set in. The rise camn with
no warning from the San AT .onio wea-
ther bureau office. headquarters for
reports on stages of tn, Rio Grande.
BY 9 O'Clock this morning the stream
was up almost two feet, and was still
rising rapidly Driftwood in the river
indicated flood on the upper reaches
of the river.
High stage here is due to water COM
ing down the San Juan or Salado, in the
opinion of local authorities. Fear was
expressed that if the stream comes up
TO the top of its banks as a result of
the present flood waters, it may break
over when flood waters now passing El
Paso reach this section.
A flood at El Paso would cause only
slow rise in the river here. unless
water came from some additional tri-
butary Of the river, it was said. However
if the flood from the upper Rio Grande
reaches the level stretches Of the river
in the Lower Valley while tht stram is

damage will. be done

HONOLULU. Sept, 4.-Into the limbo
Of "ships lost at sea without a trace,
has gone the giant seaplane PN-9. No. /,
pride of the navy and Commander John
Rodgers with his four companions, .pio-
neers of naval aviation who set forth
fearlessly from San Francisco last Mon
cay and disappeared on Tuesday after
noon, it seemed most probable with the
passage of the sixtieth hour since the
plane came down.
Although the search for the missing
proceeding with increasing forces and
frantic intensity, air station officers who
had maintained rigid faith in the hope
that the plane would be discovered,
yielded from their position last night,
dolefully shaking their heads and saying
''too bad, but we had better scratch
commander John and his crew from the
list" In spite of the hating express
sion of the unwilling feeling that it
would be a miracle if the plane was
discovered and the occupants rescued,
new searching detachments, reinforced
by the destroyer Reno are speeding to-
ward Station v, where the Aroostook
had her place in the line of the guard
ships Here the searchers will be re-
organized today and their efforts intensi-
fled with vessels proceeding to occupy
a new scouting line at the entrance to
Kaui channel. Commander Wilbur Van
Auken of the Aroostook reported last
night that the Aroostook had secuted be-
tween longitude 156 to 1885 and be
tween latitude % 30 and 24:15 and found
no news from any vessel
Aviators grudingly express the opinion
that one of two things probably hap
pened to Rodgers if the plane is not
still afloat First, that he was unable
to tuln into the wind due to the lack
of gasoline and was forced to land with
the wind or the tail which forced him
down, highly precarious operation in
any sort of a sea with about one chance
| in a hundred of landing safely. Second,
that he was blinded by the heavy rain
| squalls to which he referred in his last
message an that the aviators. with their
| clouded goggles, were unable to distin-
guish rain from the sea, thought they
had more ceiling" than they really pos
sessed. descended slightly and struck the
ocean at high speed which would have
] resulted in the wrecking of the plane.
| Meanwhile haggard officers, some Of
whom have had practically no sleep
since Sunday, pore over charts, plotting
each report from the searching ships
and hoping that "the miracle will come
about and Commander john his COM
panions and the PN-9 No. l, will be
! saved to the navy.

the search are running short of fuel
and will have to return to Port while
the number Of airrynes from Maui as
sisting has been reduced to four, one
having been forced down last night at

VALLEY READY
FOR EXCURSION
Bull Fight and Rodeo
To be Staged; Re-
duced Rates

A bull fight in Matamoros, three day
celebration at Mercedes, where cowboy
stunts, picnics, etc, will be held, and
other attractions are booked in the
Valley over the weekend with special
low rates offered to bring visitors here
from all over the state. The Labor Day
excursion rate applies to Brownsville.
Rates in effect for the celebration
are lower for the round trip, in most
cases, than the one way fare, and it is
believed that this additional induce
ment will increase the number who are
planning to come to Brownsville to
spend labor day.
Preparations are being made for a
bull fight in Matamoros Sunday after
noon in which Hilario Cara and Ber-
nardo Garcia will fight four young
Malpaso bulls An additional attraction
will be the appearance in the bulls ring
Of James L. Fixes Of Mercedes, who
at his own request, has been permitted
to enter the ring.
More than $50 Elks are due in
Brownsville Sunday afternoon and
Monday from Houston. These Elks will
leave Houston today, and will arrive
in Harlingen Saturday morning. They
will leave there for a drive through the
Valley along with Valley Elks, and will
return through the Valley to Browns
vile, reaching here Sunday.

CALDWELL, o., Sept. 4.-On gently
sloping hillsdes, some twelve miles
apart, winds today whipped through
flapping yards of torn silk and twisted
and broken aluminium of the cracked
Shenandoah, until yesterday a proud
mistress of the skies and pride of the
United States navy.
What remains of the only built dirig-
ible, which met disaster in a thunder
squall near here early yesterday morn
ing, was being broken up by the wind,
much the same as an ocean going ship
aground is broken up by the waves.
Fourteen dead members of the crew,
including Lieut.. Commander Zachary
Lansdowne, lay in an improvised morgue
in Bellevalley, their faces uncovered to
the view of visiting hundreds.
Twenty-Five of the survivors are en-
route to Lakehurst, n. j., the airport
from whence the Shenandoah embarked
Wednesday afternoon for voyage into
the heart of the continent. Three of
the officers and two of the crew spent
last night in Caldwell where they were

Marietta hospital. After last nightfall,
a guard was thrown around the APP
proaches to the wreckage in a belated
effort to stem the tide Of curious visit
ors who had thronged the scene by
thousands from early yesterday through
last midnight.
To Hold Inquests
Nothing could have saved the dirig-
ible in it's battle with the storm, accord
ing to the concensus of all members of
the crew. Neither was it any fault Of
the ship, in their opinion. The disaster
was the result of the most feared Of
storms to an aviator, line squall, the
result of the clash Of hot and cold cur
rents of air.
Lieutenant Charles E. Rosendahl, who
came into command of the crew after
the death of Lieut.. Commanders Lans-
downe and Louis j. Hancock, declared
that nothing could have saved the Shen-
andoah and that human hands could not
have fashioned ship to live through
the ordeal.

Co., at the preesnt time. He was an
ali-around athlete while in high
school.
The young man had longed to be a
bull fighter for several years, he ex-

approximations belief that only
Latin could be bull fighter.

values of the subjects taught in the

What are the needs of the pupil in life

Too much time, she states, is being

several other subjects that are of COM
