Reports of Conservative Victories Makes Re- duction of Number of Marines Ashore Now Likely.
Stims0n's Mission Is to Arrange International Agreement Preventing Similar Trouble in the Future.

Washington, April 1e Pe-With increasing reports of conservative victories in the Nicaraguan civil war, President Coolidge is preparing for withdrawal of a substantial part of the force of American marines now on duty in that country.
 From official communications and press accounts telling of a series of victories of the troops of President Diaz over the liberals under Juan Sacasa. the president has drawn the conclusion that hostilities are ap- preaching an end and that it soon will be possible to greatly reduce the number of marines ashore.
 Complete Removal Hoped
 Ultimate complete removal of the marines remains the goal of the ad = ministration. it was said at the White House today, but that ques- ton must await after decision. The last time that American troops were landed in Nicaragua it was neces- sary to keep them there for nearly 15 years and President Coolidge hopes that that situation will not be repeated.
 The mission in Nicaragua Of Henry l.. Stimson of New York, former secretary of war. as the presidents special representative, was not mentioned at the White House. The Stimson mission is un- lerstood to be concerned with a pos sible arrangement between the two countries which would prevent such situations as that which now affects both tho United States and Nicara- qua.

Riparian. accom- panied by Attorney Monroe S. Cor don. called on Chief Hart and the attorney protested that 1t is unfair to tag vehicles operated by those doing business at his fathers place. because they are obliged to park someU here.
 Chief Hart replied that every ve- hicle found parked contrary to city ordinance will be tagged. "I have been criticized because of conditions at your fathers corner" the chict said, with emphasis. and I have given orders 10 clean up the corner. Teams and cars are parked there every morning all over the road, for a half hour and longer. while the owners are inside talking. It is dangerous to traffic and I will not stand for it any longer. If this man Paparian) does not want to pay two dollars now, he can be booked and you can go into court with him"
 "Well, how about across the street there" Attorney Gordon rejoined, pointing to the south side of Com mercial street, where cars were parked in a mo parking district. "Why isn't something done about that?'
 Take care of yourself and never mind someone else" the chief re- piled 'Those cars will be out Of there in q few minutes, but those down at your corner stay entirely too long"
 "All right, we'll go to court" At torney Gordon decided. and Pap arian was booked by Captain Kelly on the charge of violation of the city ordinance by parking in q re- strictcd district. Sergeant King will appear against him tomorrow

Whole Valley Threatened

Memphis. Tenn, April l9 tP}-The entire St. Francis river basin of southeast Missouri and northeast Ar kansas appeared doomed to inunda- ton when the St. Johns bayou le- vee, eight miles north of New Ma drid, Mo. broke under the pressure of floods early today.
 The breach in the St. Johns bayou levee was reported a mile wide.
 This would permit the overflow from the Mississippi river at the Dorena crevasse farther north to sweep toward Big Lake. The onrush- ing waters would sweep down into the Little River valley and through that basin into the St. Francis be- low.
 The main Mississippi river levee just below New Madrid still held to- day but river men were dubious Of it's standing through the day.
 The St. Johns bayou defense had prevented the overflow from entering the St. Francis basin. as well as pro tecting New Madrid itself. The basin has been for weeks swollen by floods which have inundated low lands over wide expanse and threatened local defense of many towns.
 Disaster Is Feared
 Disaster was expected today to overtake many towns which have been fighting to hold their dikos against the prevailing high waters.
 Approximately ten thousand per sons were already reported homeless and refugeeing before today's new menace became actuality.
 One high point in the valley Is at Forest City. where hill rises sharp ly from the plains. Two thousand refugees had gathered there yester- day.
 The Arkansas river at Little Rock today stood at 3l.2 feet, or c.l feet above Saturdays crest prediction and two tcnths feet above last nights predictions. The weather bureau office said the crest apparently had been reached temporarily but made no prediction as to later in the week.
 Reports from Fort Smith early today said the Arkansas river there was stationed at S5.3 feet.

 HOOVER WAS MEANT
White House Clears Up Mis-
 understandings
STATEMENT IS EXPLAINED
Comment That He Would Not Sue cced Kellogg Meant Only As Con- mendation of His Work as Com- mcrCc Secretary.

Washington, April 1a LP - The declaration of the White House spokesman last week that Secretary Hoover would not be assigned 10 the state department. even should Secretary Kellogg retire. was taken up again by the spokesman today to make it clear that no dcrogation of Mir. Hooyer's ability had been in- tended.
 Reputation Well Known
 The president was said 10 consider that Mir. Hoovers reputation had been so well established in the United States and abroad that Mir. Coolidge would not be able to dam age it by any action or word if he so desired. The president, however, has no such desire, it was said. and he considers that MT. Hoover is competent to fill any cabinet place which might be open or which he might desire.
 Nevertheless. the president was said to consider that under Mr. Hoovers' direction the commerce department has assumed a position of extraordinary importance. both in reference to the conduct Of the economic life of the country and in it's bearing upon foreign trade.
 The reason the spokesman did not make clear his view of Mir. Hoover in discussing the state de- partment last week, it was said, vas because the ability of Mr. Hoover was so completely assumed 10 be known by the president that it was supposed that the assumption was held by everybody else.
 The declaration al the White House last week in regard to MT Hoover aroused wide speculation among political groups. Since it was made Mir. Hoover has been a guest at breakfast at the Coolidge temporary home. He also attended today's cabinet meeting, being the last member of the cabinet to leave.
 Since publication of conjecture as 10 the meaning of the White House announcement, it had been forecast that some kind of statement clari- lying it would be forthcoming from the White House.
