DALLAS, Texas, April ,21.-A low
pressure which tonight was moving
slowly eastward from the Rio Grande
valley in which yesterday deluged
southwestern Texas with abnormally
heavy rainfall late today had culmi-
mated in a 12-inch cloudburst at
Phelps, in southwestern Texas
The entire state was drenched to-
day and fourth victim of the
storms was claimed, three having lost
their lives yesterday. Little McMahan
of Dale, near Austin was drowned in
a creek torrent in which his motor
car had stalled today.
The cloudburst at Phelps flooded
roads and lowlands with water knee
deep. The international Great North
ern tracks were covered, stranding
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson's party
returning to Houston from visit to
the state penitentiary to Huntsville
The dam holding Huntsville's water
supply burst following the deluge at
Phelps, which is eight miles of Hunts
Vile, flooding the whole country side.
No deaths from the flood were re-
ported.
Rivers in many sections of the
state were at flood stage tonight.
Eighteen hours of steady rain in CEN

overflowing and serious damage to
crops, highways and bridges was
feared.

CITY''S FOREST
FIRE FIGHTERS.
TO MEET TODAY

Every Douglas citizen interested in
the worthy issue of forest fire work
is asked to meet at the Douglas
Chamberof Commerce and Mines Of
flee this afternoon at 4 o'clock when
Fred Winn, forest spervisor from Tue
son, and Rangers Scholefield and Har-
ris plan to be present to consider the
formation of a fire-fighting organiza-
tion similar to that which existed in
Douglas last spring and summer.
The directors of the chamber are
holding a special meeting at 4 O'Clock
and have invited the forest workers
and all those interested in the forma-
tion of such a group 20 meet with
them at that hour. A. A. Sundin, local
leader last year in the forest fire
fighting group in this vicinity, has
returned to the city and will be on
hand this afternoon to give the prob
lem careful consideration. Although
duced the general hazard of fire in
the forests, a protective organization
is needed nevertheless and it is be-
lieved that all who cO-operated in the
movement last year will be ready and
eager to do so again this spring. I'm
der Sundins guidance, the group of
Douglas fire-fighters last spring
worked smoothly and effectively on
several occasions and they should be
even more effectively organized this
spring.
The directors of the chamber have
several other issues to be considered
this afternoon and these will be
brought up following the gathering
of the fire fighters.

SATURDAY WILL
BE STRAW HA T
DAY FOR CITY

Old Sol is at last brushing the
clouds away from about his smiling
countenance and sending forth such
bright rays of hope for warmer
weather, that the haberdashers of
Douglas are at last ready to pro
claim STRAW Hat Day"
This Saturday is the day and means
that spring is surely here and that
summer is on the wing. Last year at
this date, hundreds of straw cha
peaux were gracing the heads of
Douglasites and basking in the April
sunshine But 1926 SO far has been
rather chilly in it's reception to the
hats of straw with the result that
they have been smuggling together in
their boxes to keep warm or peeping
rather timidly from behind the glass
in the store windows. Certainly it
is not the part of valor for a real,
honest to- goodness straw hat to sneak
out and be FROST -bitten-no, indeed, it
must wait until the palny, balmy
days of spring are really here.
And at last it seems that summer is
on the 'day-at least, so it appeared
Wednesday, when a few fthe bolder
citizens of Douglas shed their coats
and stepped out as if to take
plunge in the old swimmin hole.
What is more, the great and varied
quantity of straw hats which have
been resting expectantly in the vari-
Gus stores of the city for the past
three weeks KNOW that baseball has
started.
And how can a baseball season be
a success without straw hats being in
attendance? In fact, one handsome
Panama hat in a certain store win
dow was heard to remark yesterday
that as soon as someone wears him
out to the Tenth street park, the
Douglas Blues will start to win. Why,
a ball game without it's straw hats is
like a gold fish without it's BOWL
There are all sorts of styles this
wear in the straw hat line-big,
small, tall, short soft, hard, dark
compIexioned and light t-complexioned
hats-you may have your choice if
you have the cash. What is more,
the bands on the hats may be had in
just plain black or plain blue or you
may procure them black and blue,
yellow and green or in any shade
you wish. It's all up to you-the
hats are here and are, oh, so tired
of waiting for Old Sol to get warmed
up and take his turn in the pitchers
box,
SO, step out Sunday in a straw
lid-the sun is shining brightly (that
is, yesterday it was! We refuse to
vouch about today, the ball players

BRITISH
PRINCESS SEEMS
HEALTHY
(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel

LONDON, April 21.-The little prin-
cess, daughter of the House of York,
whose early morning arrival disturb
ed even the slumbers of the king and
queen at Windsor, was sleeping sp1en-
didly tonight, as was the duchess. An
afternoon bulletin proclaimed the
satisfactory progress of mother and
daughter.
The tiny princess, who is the fourth
lady of the land, ranking after the
queen, Princess Mary and the Ouch
ess of York, is said to resemble her
mother. She is slightly below the
average weight, but the physicians re-
port she is strong and healthy.
The two queens, Mary of England
and Maud of Norway, ana the king,
had a glimpse of her this afternoon,
tile grand parents both having been
up since + o'clock in the morning.
When the king was aroused this
morning and informed of the event
he became so excited that he could
not go to sleep again, so he made
himself a pot of tea-as he does
sometimes when he wants to be alone
and watched the sun coming UP over
the tops of the Windsor hills.
The queen kept the telephone lines
busy all morning, inquiring after the
little miss, third in the line of sue
cession to the throne. Congratula-
tions arrived all day. The possibility
of England's having another Queen
Elizabeth appeals to popular mag
ination. The duke and duchess have
not indicated what the little princess
name will be, but the British public
seems to be settling on Elizabeth

SWINC-JOHNSON
BILL VOTE MAY
COME UP FRIDAY
fBy Dispatch A. p. wire)

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Action on
the SWING johnson bill was post
poned today by the senate irrigation
committee until Friday in order to
give Senator Pittman, democrat.
Nevada, an opportunity to be heard
and little prospect was seen for inn
mediate action on the measure by
the house irrigation committee which
found itself in the midst of an ex-
tended Iopen hearing. 1t will be
several days before the house COM
mittee can begin executive consid-
Grafton of the bill,
During the day, Senator Pittman,
who is i'll, issued statement from
his bed declaring that the measure
will never pass, unless it includes
his amendment to allot one hundred
thousand horsepower of electrical
energy to Nevada. Representative
Hayden, democrat, Arizona, told tho
house committee that If congress
authorizes the project as It is now
drawn Up, there will never be any
seven-state water compact because
California will be getting all of the
water she wants and will have no
further incentive to negotiate with
Arizona"
This view was disputed by l.. Ward
Bannister, who appeared for the city
of Denver, and declared that other
considerations would prompt Cali
fornia to continue diligent efforts
to reach an agreement with Arizona.
Both the senate and house COM
mittees had before them a letter
from Governor Hunt of Arizona, Wig
orously assailing Secretary Hoover's
attitude toward development of the
Colorado river. The letter was in
serted in the records at the request
of Senator Ashurst of Arizona.
Representative Leatherwood, repub
lican, of Utah, read letter sent
out by the American Conservation So
ciety of El Centro Calf, appealing
for funds to maintain a delegation
in Washington work for the Swing
Johnson bill. The letter said that the
governors of the other basin states
were keeping their best men" in
Washington to protect their rights
and that it was necessary for Call
fornia interests to. be represented.
Representative Leatherwood told
that the upper basin states
were not trying to drive good
bargain" but that they were wholly
on the defensive. He was answered
by Representative Swing, republican,
who declared that the let
ter did not imply that the upper
absin states were guilty of any wrong
doing in taking the steps that they
have taken to guard their rights.
