NEW ORLEANS, May 27.-Danger
to the levees on the east bank OF the
Mississippi, below Old River, probably
has passed. Maj. Gen. Edgar JadWin,
chief of Army Engineers, said today.
The vast amount of water being di-
verted from the Mississippi through the
Atchafalaya, as we'll as the crevasses
farther up the river, was believed to
have assured the safety of the levees
along the east bank.
Gen. Jadwin is in the flood area
supervising the work of the various
fiood-control bodies, including the
Mississippi River commission, the
spillway board and the reservoir
board, all of which will make reports
to him this Summer.
Two Are Drowned.
Further rise of the flood waters from
the McCrea crevaSse cut off the town
of Morgansea late last night. Nc
Crea is approximately 13O miles north
west of New Orleans, on the opposite
side of the Mississippi. Trains over
the Texas & Pacific have been discon-
tinued past New Roads. the parish

At Lafayette. relief authorities an
nounced the drowning of two negroes,
the first authentic report of deaths
due to the flood in that section. Water
was reported as spreading rapidly in
st. Martinville and Breaux Bridge, al
though few residents remained in
each town.
A regular boat service has been
established between Lafayette and
Breaux Bridge.
Residents Are Alarmed.
Residents of the Bayou Vermilion
section We're further alarmed today
as the water reached higher levels.
Coulee Mine, which connects with the
bayuo, was rising rapidly, and resi-
dents of Arbolado living close to the
Coulee said that the water already
was in their barns and garages.
Col. James T.. Edmonds, in charge
of National Guard units at Lafayette,
announced that National Guardsmen
would be sent out into the flooded
areas OF this section with orders to

Ing homes or other evacuated build
ings. Some unrest has been reported
in the refugee centers on account of
Iooting reports reaching the refugees.
Hoover Quits New Orleans.
Secretary Hoover and his party
left New Orleans last night for the
Acadian country, and expected TO visit
the refugee camps at Lafayette and
Opelousas before returning here to-
night. His present journey is to CO.
ordinate and consolidate the supply
systems at these centers and to sur
vey the general relief situation.
Flood Relief Director John M.
Parker today issued an order for
bidding the sale of live stock owned by
refugees except through authorized
marketing agencies. His order was
given to stop any attempt at
profiteering. He also ordered that
no refugees should be hired by labor
agencies unless the employment was
approved by the Red Cross. This
step was taken to prevent the negro
farmhands or tenant farmers who
own heavy debts to the planters
from being induced to leave the
region and not return to their inun-
dated homes.

FOWLER DIRECTS
: SURVEY OF ALLEYS
Order Is Issued After "NulIi-
tying" Court Decision on
Closing Law.

AS Corporation Counsel Francis H.
Stephens started a study today of
the decision Of the Court Of Appeals
concerning the alley-closing law of
1914, DR.. William c. Fowler, District
health officer, announced that he had
ordered a complete survey of all alleys
to determine prevailing conditions.
The survey will be started about
June Is and Is expected to take at
least two months. Eight sanitary in
spectors will be assigned to the work
DR.. Fowler said the investigation
would be similar to that made by the
Health Department in 1925, when
more. than 1000 cases were discov.
cred that needed correction. AS a
result of that survey, he pointed out,
notices to abate nuisances were sent
to 298 owners of alley dwellings and
397 to occupants who We're held re-
sponisble for insanitary conditions,
1874 to the plumbing department, S6 to
the building inspector, 20 to the board
for the condemnation of insanitary
buildings, 20 to the water department
and each to the police and street
cleaning departments.
Survey Is Explained.
The survey will reveal not only con-
ditions of insanitation. DIR. Fowler ex-
planned, but any dangerous structural
conditions which may exist. The
Health Department has authority to
order the correction of the insanitary
conditions, ne said, but it does not
have the power to direct the remedy.
ing of structural defects. If such de-
fects arc discovered, however. the
Health Department notifies the proper
and recommends that ac-
ton be taken to correct them.
Although Corporation Counsel Ste
phens has not yet had time toread the
decision of Justice Van Orsdel rem
dered yesterday, from information
given him by assistants he is inclined
to believe that it means the virtual
notification of the alley-closing law.
Regret Is Expressed.
'I have not had time to read the
decision, but from what has been told
me-" said Mr.. Stephens, Il assume
that it virtually nullifies the alley
closing act"
Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintend-
ent of police, expressed his regret to-
day over the decision of the court, as
alleys, In his opinion, are breeding
places for crime and harbor criminals.
All alleys, he said, should be wide,
we'll lighted and run through from
street to street.

afoul Of Judge Troth's picturesque
"hot dog" court, at the intersection of
the Mount Vernon and Richmond
highways, when it was noted by the
sheriff that both were using D. c.
tags on their automobiles. Warrants
issued by the justice charged that the
defendants were residents of Virginia
and should embellish their cars with
the red-and-green colors of Old Vir-
ginia instead of the yellow and black
of Washington.
Write to Commissioner.

fore Judge Troth, but in view of the

vance of the trial that his mind was

freshment parlors, scene of Judge

announced that if the Virginia au-
thorities think he ought to buy some
Of their tags he will be only too glad

Appointment as district superin-
tendcnt of the Bismarck district
comes to Rev. c. r. Strutx as dis
tinct promotion and is in the nature
of q reward for his faithful services
in behalf Of the Bismarck Evangelical
church during his nine years pas
toratc here, it was said by members
Of his congregation today when in
formed of the action Of the ANIMAL
conference at Cavalier Sunday.
Rev. Strutz came here in 1918 from
Big Stone City, S. d.. where he was
pastor of the Evangelical church for
three years, going there from Aber-
deem. His pastoratc here probably
represents the longest continuous
passionate of any Evangelical min
lister in North Dakota, since he has
now served here two years beyond
the conference time limit of seven
years.
When Rev. Strutz came I'd Bis
marck the passionate here numbered
about GO members. At the present
time it numbers 1872, despite the fact
that the German branch of the
church withdrew year ago to form
passionate of it's own, taking quite a
few members from the parent body.
It is estimated that $50 members
have been taken into the Evangelical
church here during Rev. Strutz's pas
torate.
As a result of the appointments as
district superintendent of this dis
trict, Rev. Strutx and his family will
continue to make their residence in
this city. Rev. C. a. Bremen, who
has been district superintendent here
for several years, has been trans
ferred to similar position in the
Fargo district. Rev. A. H. Ermel
