Ell PASO, Tex. Arg. 1.-The crest OF
the Rio Grande flood waters reached
Ell Paso jhortly after eleven o'clock to-
night ana it was expected would take
about three hours to pass. The levees
are holding satisfactorily and the dan
ger is considered over. Damage is ex-
pected to crops several miles south of
Ell Paso.
Water from the liver overflowed the
banks on the Mexican side just south
Of tie city limits this afternoon. Waste
lands were flooded in a stretch two
miles wide. Large forces of men sup
piled by the city, county and reclama-
tion service are on guard along the Am
erican SIDE while Mexicans recruited on
the other side are protecting the levces
on the south.
A break in the dyke below Juarez has
flooded a large area of loWland but
there is no danger of the water backing
into Ine town. The dykes below FL
Paso have held largely because of the
break on the Mexico side which has re-
leased pressure against the weak points
in the protective works on the American
side.
The danger now has shifted to fam
lands which are below river level in the
Ell Paso valley.
A large bend above Fabens where
water piles up due to the small drop in
the Rio Grande flooded an area two
miles square year ago and county and
reclamation crews are at work to pre-
vent recurrence of this. There is also
danger Of shift in the rivers course
at San Elizario Island a large area OF
United States farming land left on che
south side Of the channel when it chang
ed several years ago.
The city put force of seventy men
to work repairing weak places in the
dykes early this morning. The number
will be decreased tonight. New forces
Of men are being sent to San Elizario
and Fabens by the reclamation service
and the county to work tonight.
More than 5000 cubic feet per second

HOUSTON, Texas. Aug. Cotton
apparently is in distress in approx
mately 62 counties, which make up the
more pronounced drouth area Of the
state, according to reports to h. ii.
Schultz, government statistician here.
The area, these reports indicate, ex-
tends from the northern limits of CEN
trail Texas, well into the south part Of
the state, and laps over into east and
west Texas.
Scattered rains and showers have
brought only local benefit, according
to general reports to Mr.. Schultz, while
high temperatures and hot winds have
caused considerable detriment to the
crop in many parts of the state.
Some reports indicate the presence
Of boil weevil, but due to the heat and
dry weather, it's ravages have generally
been held in check.

a public service far beyond the
compensation which the govern
ment is able to pay.
Pay Very Small
Mr.. Andrews has hopes of obtaining
the services Of these men with little or
no compensation, but he has declined to
indicate whether that part of his pro-
gram is working out to his satisfaction.
The maximum salary attached to post
of administrators is $500 year, and
that amount, the assists Mt secretary
has said, can be considered as nothing
when measured against the earning
capacity of the men whom he desires
to place in some of the posts. at least.
The prohibition chief is not expected
to fill all Of 5he % administration Of
fices from this class of men, leaving
the indication that some of the present
state directors will be chosen for pro-
motion He has regard for some of
these directors, but, there are many
others who are likely to find themselves
off the government payroll not later
than October Is.
Mudh of the delay experienced by Mr..
Andrews in selecting the prohibition ad
ministrators, is attributed to the fact
that many leaders in the committee OF
1000 are either in Europe or in far
sections of the United States, making il
impossible for him to confer with them
and get consensus of their views, and
announcement Of their names chosen
from big business ranks.
Confer With Leaders
While he is known to have arrived at
a decision in his own mind, with respect
to about one third of the number re-
quired, he had refused to fix an as
signment for any one of them until he
can feel certain that each ap-
pointment represents the best possible
balance between the man and the job.

APPEAL FILED
IN TEAPOT Case
Government Attacks All
Conclusions of Trial
Judge
Ky The Associated Press.l

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 1.-THE gov
ernment filed it's appeal in the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve case today. The
appeal contends that Judge T. Blake
Kennedy of the United States district
court for Wyoming erred in virtually
all the conclusions set forth in his de-
cree dismissing the governments suit
for annullment Of the lease held by the
Mammoth Oil company.
The petition for appeal to the eighth
circuit court of appeals which was al
lowed by Judge Kennedy, sets forth in
detail sixty-four alleged errors by the
trial judge.
The first fourteen errors assigned to
the oult~by government counsel bear
upon Judge KennedS's judgment con-
cerning issues of the suit. The next
fifty involve the exclusion by the court
of testimony and exhibits offered by the
government and objected to by the de-
fendant, including the courts refusal
to compel M. T. Everhart to testify.
Everhart is a son-in- law of Albert B.
Fall. former secretary of the interior.
The evidence, the exclusion of which
the petition for appeal asserts, was err
roneous, relates to certain liberty bonds
which the government charges found
their way from Harry F. Sinclair, presi-
dent of the Mammoth Oil company to
Fall. then secretary of the interior,
pursuant to collusion and fraud alleged
in the granting Of the lease.
The appeal challenges and assigns
error to the courts decision that the
navy department took an essential part
in the negotiations preliminary to the
lease and in the granting of the lease,
