FOR FLYING CROSS
Recommendation for Highest
Award to Aviator Approved
by President.

Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh is to re.

the highest award for a flyer in the
service Of the United States Govern.
ment.
This was determined today when
President Coolidge approved the
recommendation of Secretary Of War
Davis for this award.
Following a brief conference with
the President Secretary Davis said
that just where or when this honor
will be conferred upon Capt. Lind.
bergh by his Government has not yet
been determined. He said this will de.
pend upon the time Capt. Lindbergh
arrives back in this country.
He said he thought it would be a
good idea if the presentation was
made by the President personally,
even though it called for the famous
young flyer presenting himself at the
Presidents Summer home in the
Black Hills. He added, however, that
this was merely an opinion of his own
and that it had not been suggested
to the President. 1t might be likely
that the welcome that is being pro.
posed for Capt. Lindbergh in Wash.
ington could serve as the occasion of
the presentation according to the
intimation of the Secretary of War.

Attacked with machete in the hands
Of a woman while demonstrating with
the. bandit chieftain Cabulla early yes
terday, Capt. William P. Richards of
the United States Marine Corps shot
and killed Cabulla, who had drawn a
revolver, and then was forced to kill
the woman in self-defense, say advices
received here from Chinandega.
Capt. Richards had gone to a. house
in which Cabulla was staying to re.
monstrate against the maltreatment
of several inhabitants by the bandit
leader. AS Richards entered the door
he was attacked by woman in the
house with a machete, while Cabulla
leaped from his bed and drew a re-
volver. Capt. Richards thereupon
drew his own weapon and fired, killing
Cabulla instantly, and then was forced
to kill the woman in self-defense.
Cabulla, who was described as a
Liberal bandit" leader, was called the
Pancho Villa of Nicaragua and had
been credited with 60 killings. He vir.

NEW ORLEANS. May 2S.-Man
and river today were preparing for
what was believed to be the last great
battle of the flood area as the waters
of the Atchafalaya and the Tensas
Basin moved down on New Iberia and
Morgan City.
Already these cities Of 5000 and
5000 population, respectively, partial
ly have been inundated, and with the
water rising an inch an hour, it was
believed that both would be totally
under water by tonight or tomorrow.
Morgan City, about 100 miles west
Of New Orleans, is at the mouth Of
the Atchafalaya, where the mass of
water sweeping relentlessly down the
narrow Atchafalaya Basin must empty
into the Gulf of Mexico. A few miles
above Morgan City the Atchafalaya
empties into Grand Lake. and resi-
forced to flee their homes as the flood
waters swept the shores Of the lake.
Crest Far Up River.
The river then flows out of the lake
again to run for about Is miles
through fertile country before it pours
it's muddy flood into the Gulf.
The crest of the flood in the Atcha-
falaya Basin was believed to be in the
Breaux Bridge section, many miles up
the river from Morgan City and still
above La Fayette, where the largest
refugee camp Of the section Is To-
Gated. But the first brush with the
irresistible force of the river already
has been fought out at it's mouth and
the waters have been victorious. The
flood probably will last several weeks
more before the crest passes into the
sea.
A statement from Red Cross head.
quarters here last night said that more
than $500 refugees were expected to
be taken care Of out of New Iberia
alone. Yesterday officials at Baton
Rouge estimated that only about 10
per cent Of the populace driven from
their homes found their way to the
refugee camps. The others, they said,
were cared for in private homes.

Health conditions in all camps were
reported good. Regular hospitals
have been established at all concentra-
ton points and the physicians in
charge reported that there has been no
more sickness than could normally be
expected in gatherings of from 5000
to 10000 persons.
The situation on the lower river re-

drops were registered from the mouth

POLICE THINK DEAD
GIRL IS BABY FACE
Body Believed That of Young
Woman Mentioned in Sui
Cide'S Note.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 2S.-The body Of a
young woman who had been shot
through the head and who is believed
by the police to. have been the "devil
with a baby face" mentioned in a
note left by Werner c. Martin, who
committed suicide in Milwaukee
hotel. was found here today m an
apartment hotel.
The young woman and man had
given the names of Martin and
wife, when they took furnished
apartment some time ago, and detec-
tives declared their belief that she
was the paramour of Martin, who
killed himself with poison.
A note was found with the body,
but its contents were not revealed by
the police.
Martin. in the note left in the Mil
waukee hotel, blamed the woman as
faithless, confessing that he had left
his young wife for her.
The authorities had discarded the
early theory that Martins suicide and
note had any connection with the
killing of Evelyn La Grand recently.
Detectives interested in the case had
yesterday partly concluded that
Martins self-inf1icted death and his
note were products of imagination or
a disordered mind.

MARKET SITE IS TENTATIVELY
PICKED FOR JUSTICE BUILDING
Decision of National Commission of Fine
Arts Announces Project Must Meet
Congress Approval.

Tentative designation Of the present
site of the Center Market as the loca-
ton for the proposed Department of
Justice Building was made today by
the National Commission of Fine Arts,
Charles Moore, its chairman an
nounced.
This site has been tentatively
selected because it was considered in
connection with proposed National
Museum of Industry to be erected by
private funds on a site approved by
the commission today in the squares
fronting on B street southwest,
bounded by Seventh and Ninth streets.
The commission also approved de-
sign submitted by the Army for a
medal to be awarded to aviators who
have distinguished themselves in the
world of flying. The first medal to be
stamped from this design will prob
ably be awarded to Charles Lindbergh
for his transatlantic feat, and Mr..
Moore said that the design was put
through at this meeting in order TO
aid the Army in getting a medal ready

by the time Lindbergh arrives in the
Capital City.
The proposed National Museum of
Industry Building is to be erected by
public subscription and the funds are
being raised by the National Museum
and Industry Association. 1t was
said that the site approved today for
the building will have to meet the
further approval of Congress, to
which it probably will be submitted
at the coming session.
The building is to be 1,100 feet in
length and to cost In the neighborhood
of $5.000,000 Mr.. Moore said that
the Center Market site was selected
for the Department of Justice Building
in order to balance this proposed
engineering building, one being on
the north side of the Mall and the
other on the south.
If it is found necessary in order to
get the length requested by the pro-
ponents of the building it may be
necessary to extend it to the square

LEGION DECORATES
MEMORIAL TREES
Flags and Poppies Placed at
Markers Honoring District
World War Dead.

An American flag and a poppy,
symbols of the Nations thoughts on
Memorial day, were placed this morn
ing at each of the markers erected
on Sixteenth street at the memorial
trees dedicated after the armistice in
honor of the District Of Columbia
World War dead.
1t was a labor of love, performed
by members Of Victory Post, No. 4, of
the American Legion, for their 535
comrades Of the District, whose names
are engraved on separate markers.
Beginning at Alaska avenue, where
the first tree stands, the legionnaires
halted at each marker to pay their
simple but effective tribute to the de-
parted. Arrangements are to be
made, it was said today, for the dedi-
cation Of two other trees along Six
teenth street in memory OF two who
have died recently.
Dissertation to Re Avoided.
All future danger that any Of these
memorial trees might be desecrated, as
some have been in the past, has been
removed through the cooperation of
Lieut.. Col. u. s. Grant, Sd, superin-
tendent of public buildings and public
parks, and William c. Hazen, Dis
trict surveyor. In recent years num-
Der of the trees were either removed
or cut down when new intersections
were opened on upper Sixteenth street.
Hereafter, the legion will be notified
in advance Of future intersections to
be made, so that no markers will be
placed at those points. In this way,
the rows Of trees on Sixteenth street
will be kept intact. Other trees have
been dedicated further down the street
to replace those destroyed, it was said.
