 Most of those reported suspended for driving automobiles were sopho- mores and the suspensions were for one week.
 Dean Christian Gauss. of the col lege of liberal arts stated that acts of discipline were never made public.
 It was learned from other sources that there had been number of suspensions but that there had been no expulsions as was the case after the house party week end in other years.

DAM BURSTS, SEVERAL
 DROWNED IN WYOMING
8 Known Dead, Others Missing When Natural
 Lake Is Released i :

Idaho Falls. Idaho. May 19 R-
 Nature has restored the topography
 of the upper Gros Ventre river val ley to a semblance of Its original
 appearance at cost of at least eight lives, it was revealed today
 as flood waters released by a slide" dam continued to menace
 several communities.
 The ''slide dam," created when Sheep mountain shifted several
 feet in June. 1925. to send an ava lanche of rocks. dirt and trees
 across the Gros Ventre river, col lapsed yesterday to send wall of water down the sparsely settled valley. The lake created by the natural dam held approximately 100000 acre feet of water. Kelly. little northwestern Wy
 oming community where about 75
 persons lived, was inundated vir-
 tually without warning. As the town is located only four miles below the dam, several persons were
 drowned before they could reach
 the nearby hills. Although the
 death list stood at eight. others
 were unaccounted for.
 Continuing it's race down the valley, the flood struck Wilson, 25
 miles below Kelly. within two
 hours. Ranchers declared the tor rent retained it's crest of nearly 20 feet. The river soon was nearly a
 mile and half wide. but no lives
 were lost at Wilson as residents had been warned to flee.
 As the water rushed into the Snake river at it's junction with the
 Gros Ventre near Wilson, warnings were issued to farmers for moro than 100 miles along the twisting
 valley. As the torrent passed into
 Idaho it maintained head of nearly ten feet and caused officials of the Oregon Shore line here to
 send out crews in an effort to save bridges.
 Telephone communication to ths upper Snake river valley was crip-
 pied and only meagre reports were available as to the damage to sev- eral villages. Only a church and |
 store were reported undamaged at Kelly.
 The Sheep mountain slide follow cd series of earthquakes that caused considerable damagee in
 northern Wyoming and Montana. The slide and avalanche created ' dam nearly half mile across and approximately 300 feet in height. This formed a lake about seven
 miles long. mile in width and 250 feet in depth at some points State engineers who inspected the dam declared they believed 1t un- safe due to trees and rocks mixed with the earth.

WARRANT ISSUED FOR
 T0RRING70N BANKER
Embezzlement Charged Against Joyce, Former
 Cashier

Torrington, Conn. May 1s LP-A warrant charging F. Early Joyce, former cashier of the Torrington National bank with embezzlement, has been issued from the office of United States Attorney John Buck ley, in Hartford. Joyce is ill in a sanitarium in New York state, and it was stated with authority that the warrant will not be served until Joyce is able to leave the institution.
 The warrant was issued on the basis of report filed earlier in the week by federal examiners of the bank. with Mir. Buckley charging that there were irregularities in the accounts of the bank.
 Yesterday President F. M. Travis of the bank said he had had no definite information as to the "ir- regularities. Today MT. Travis was out of town.
 It is understood that the federal warrant names specific sum as representing the alleged irregulari- ties but the figures were not made public by Mir. Buckley.
 The bank, President Travis said yesterday. was fully protected in every way in event of losses due to any acts of Joyce who resigned as cashier few days ago after service ill the bank for fifteen years. In ad- dition. F. H.. Joyce, father of the former cashier, is said to have stated that he was willing to make good any shortage which might have been disclosed in the accounts of his son.
 The examination of the bank, ac- cording to President Travis was un- dertaken as a matter of course be- cause of the resignation of the cashier who had been in ill health. The federal examiners also came Messrs. Williams and Parker of Boston-and the report of the latter was made direct to [. s. Attorney John Buckley.
 President Travis yesterday said that upon being informed of the character of the report given to Mir. Buckley, the bank called in private auditors to go over the accounts again. It was understood that the books were in somewhat involved condition owing to the methods used by Joyce. It was further understood that Joyce was under bonds.
 Joyce resigned as treasurer of Trinity Episcopal parish a few days ago when he left for a sanitarium. and his resignation was accepted Tuesday night. Ais accounts were reported to be correct.
 No information as to the "irregu- larities" have been given out either.

Man is Drunk After 7aking More
 Than Ounce and HaN Of Alcohol
Or Three Ounces of Fifty Per Cent Whiskey Accom-.
 plishes Same Effect Doctors Are Told

but a scientific answer was given to- day to thousands of doctors at the American Medical Association con- vention by Dr. Emil Bogen, Clncin- natl. as the result of investigating more than 300 cases in past year.
 Pointing out that some men can drink more than others. pr. Bogen concluded that. generally, real in- toxication sets in after drinking more than an ounce and a half of absolute alcohol, or about three ounces of fifty per cent whiskey. Results vary from lack of control to absolute coma. Dr. Bogen de- clared the commonly accepted signs of drunkenness do not always hold.
 In making the intoxication tests in the Cincinnati traffic court, Dr.. Bogen worked on the generally ac- cepted theory that the alcoholic con- tent of the blood Is an index Of the state of intoxication.
 Dr. Bogen declared the popular attitude toward drunkenness has ranged from the rigid prohibition enioined upon his faithful moslems by Mohammed to ecstatic apotheosis of intoxication by the inspired SOY, Omar Khayyam.

New York. May 1s IP - Lloyd Bertaud definitely will not make the Paris flight in the Bellanca mono plane with Clarence Chamberlin. and his successor Is already select ed. Charles A. Levine. head of the company backing the flight. told the Associated Press this afternoon.
 Denies Bertaud's Version
 Levine's announcement followed tardily on an almost night long con- ference at the end of which Bertaud had said that all difficulties had been ironed out and that he would go on the flight as navigator as or iginally planned.
 Levine made no statement at the time but when reports gained cir culation that the situation was not quite as Bertaud believed 1t to be. Levine was asked to state definitely what the results of the conference were.
 "Bertaud is not going" Levine re- piled. That Is definite. His suc- cessor has been selected but his identity will not be revealed until the plane is ready to hop off"
 Preparations went forward today to enable all three waiting planes to take off for France just as soon as weather permits.

After l5 minutes in the air the America was returning to Its hangar and il was announced no more flights would be made this morning.

 Gusty winds drove a drizzling rain across the aviation fields during the morning. but weather reports indi- cated that gradual clearing was talk ing place along the great circle" route to France, which it now seems will be followed by all the fliers. It was hoped that by tomorrow all would be ready for the hop off. but announcement of christening cere- monies for the America on Satur- day indicated that the hope of a get away before that time was dim. at least in the opinion of Commander Byrd.
