Hoover Urges Flood.
Aid Upon President.
Would Build Leuees

Custer, IS miles from the state game
lodge, to meet Mr. Hoover, when he
left the train here early today. After
luncheon at the summer White House
the two motored to the executive Of
flee here.
Mr.. Hoover also brought with him
a tentative outline for compre
hensive flood control program, call
ing for higher and wider levees
safety valves" in the form of spill
ways tc protect lower Louisiana and
further safety measures now be-
ing studied by engineers" He gave
an estimate that an addition of $15,-
100000 to $20OO0,000 annually over a
period of ten years to the present
appropriation of $16,000,000 annually
for flood control would complete
program providing for flood control,
ravigatin and power development of
the entire Mississippi river system
and its tributaries. He expects a
more detailed report on this work
within few months.
Reverting to discussion OF the
st. Lawrence river canal project, Mr.
Hoover again expressed confidence
that something definite would Ge-
velop from the negotiations with
Canada. He said that government
had replied to Americas note, asking
that it be given more time to study
the report being compiled by the
joint committee of engineers. This
report he added should be completed
within three Or four weeks.
Construction of this canal, Mr..
Hoover declared would be of in
estimable value to the middle west
He is convinced that the price OF
grains received by American farmers
is predicated on Liverpool quotations,
less the cost of delivery there. II
this cost Of transportation can be
lowered he says it means that much
will be received by the American
farmer.
In his report to the president, the
commerce secretary estimated that
the minimum damage done by the
flood would total $250,000,0O0.

RAPID CITY, s. D., July 20 t49--
Immediate federal aid in the Missis-
sippi river flood relief problem was
urged upon President Coolidge today
by Secretary Hoover who has super
vised rescue and rehabilitation work
in the devastated area.
| Mr.. Hoover told the president that
state legislatures are unable to raise
sufficient funds to carry on the i'm
perative work OF closing the levees.
Furthermore, he said local connmun-
tiles cannot meet the burden of taxes
falling due on the levee bonds be-.
cause it has been possible only to
restore about 100000 Of the $780,
600 acres covered by the flood to
crops this year.
Without mentioning a special seS-
sion Of congress which is under con-
sideration by Mr.. Coolidge, the sec
retary did recommend that the gov
ernment go to the immediate relief
Of the levee program, insisting that
it was necessary to have these closed
before fall. Some funds, he thought,
could be obtained from government
money on hand, including the rivers
and harbors appropriations.
So far as caring for the flood VIC
TINS is concerned, MIR. Hoover de-
clared, there would be $3,O0O,00O on
hand from the Red Cross relief ce(l-
tributions Oh November l., and he
was confident that they could be
taken care of until congress meets
in regular session in December.
''The greatest of all measures need
ed," he said, in report submitted
to the president, "is prompt and ef-
fective flood control and quick leg
islation for that will restore conf
dence and from confidence will come
la recovery in values and in business
"ThC government should take over
and repair the whole levee system
of the flooded area whether or not
the levees are under governmnt
jurisdiction. Congress should also
furnish relief in helping to pay in
terest charges and amortization fol
! the holders Of levee bonds in the
sections where the floods have pre-
vented planting OF crops this year
Most OF the levee obligations will
not fall due until about January L.
| MIR. Hoover'S call for immediate
federal aid in relief work coupled
I with the recommendation of Senator
Smoot, Utah, one of the admins
! tration leaders, for an early specia
session of congress is expected to in
fluence the president in his consid-
Grafton of calling session in the
fall.

HARTFORD, Conn, July 20, '(R-
The visit to this city today of Col
Charles A. Lindbergh- first on his
long list OF rs to be made throughout
the country-reSulted in veritable
holiday.
The young colonel whose air tour
to all of the states of the union for the
promotion of interest in aviation under
the auspices of the Samuel Guggen-
helm foundation, hoped off from
Mitchell field, NJ. Y, at ESQ p. III. and
landed at Brainard field at 2.25 p. m.
Before landing here, the young air
hero flew over Camp Trumbull at
Mantle, where members of the Connec-
ticut national guard are training. He
was met by an aerial escort from the
aviation section of the national
guard. The Spirit of st. Louis" circled
over the reservation several times and
then headed for the state capital.
Gov. John H. 'Trumbell, who was Wis
iting the camp, took off in a plane
while Col. Lindbergh was circling
around and preceded the Paris flight
winner to this city, where he was
among the first to greet him.
Few events in this city's history
called for such preparations as we're
made to receive Lindbergh The city,
proud that it had been chosen as the
first stopping place on the aroui4dtfe-
country flight, was decorated as 1t had
never been before. Every member of
the city's police force, aided :3y many
officers loaned by other cities were
on duty at the field to keep the
crowds in check and to guard the
route of Col. Lindbergh into the city.
Governor Trumbull, in his address
of welcome said that none Of the
greetings Lindbergh has received could
be more sincere than that rendered
by the people of Connecticut.

WASHINGTON, July 20, P-The
breathing spell ab Geneva caused by

apparently has served only to en-
phasize the doubts in Washington Of

Acknowledgements supplementary ma
val limitation treaty can be surmount-
ed.
Both in administration and British
diplomatic circles, the view was private
ly expressed today that the negotiation
of such treaty did not seem possible
at the present time. In both eases some
thought already had oeen given to
the probable method OF terminating
the Geneva conversations III such a
way as to leave the good relations OF
the three countries undisturbed.
One British spokesman pointed out
that the London government must
consider the attitude of the donlinions
in shaping naval strength policy and
he indicated that they supported the
program Of cruiser construction which
underlie British high tonnage esti-
mates, at Geneva, the reef upon which
the conference is now stranded
Administration officials did not
touch upon the British aspect of the
problem, but made it clear that there
is complete accord both in Geneva and
Washington, between the naval and
diplomatic personnel dealing with the
Geneva deliberations. That accord

Secretary Kellogg was said to have
received recently intimations OF
strong senate support for the unbend-
ing stand he has taken on such ques-
tions as naval parity with Great Brit
ain, the necessity for freedom to build
types Of cruisers suitable for American
needs and on other important aspects
of the naval conversations. One re-
publican leader is known to have in
formed Mr.. Kellogg that in his opln-
ion no treaty which sacrificed in any
way the question of American naval
parity, would receive senate sanction.
The state department was told at the
same time that with big treasury
surplus indicated, the means for build
ing up the navy to any necessary point
were not lacking.

is advised as to views of other senators
is not known, nor is there anything to

at Ocotal was intercepted by tele-
graph operator at San Fernando.

under Major Floyd are nearing Oco-

mand of the aviation squadron, has
sent to Ocotal by air small field
piece and several machine guns.
Major Rowell, who has been recon-
mended for the distinguished service
medal, has his airmen making recon-
naissances regularly. His own plane
bears the mark of forty-four bullets.
Rowen says the greatest thrill of his
life was when his five planes reached
Ocotal to battle for the little worm
out garrison fighting against odds OF
over five to one. He gives all credit
to his airmen and remarked that the
air attack was as fine pyrotcchnical
display as he had ever seen.

Revival In Alton To
Hurry Back Home

LOS ANGELES, July 20 P-Two
burglaries at Angelus Temple in which
an undetermined sum of money was
taken were disclosed tonight by Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, it's business manager,
in commenting on the hurried return
of her daughter, Aimee Semple NC
Pherson, the temples evangelist, who
abandoned an Alton, Ill, revival to
speed to Los Angeles.
Mrs. Kennedy told of the burglaries
in denying reports that there had
been a shortage of the temples funds
through en1bezzlement.
The burglaries, she said, occurred
last Saturday.
Mrs Kennedy denied there had been
any breach IN the temple ranks. She
said, however, that she planned to
give up the reins of the business
management of her daughters re-
ligious enterprises which she has held
for ten years and answer a call TO
spiritualistic work
Il Her daughters presence in Los
Angeles was demanded following &
special meeting of the temple board
last night, Mrs. kennedy said.
Repeated petitions had been sent to
Mrs. Mcpherson to return to her
church. These eliminated in the
board action which took the form
of demand.
Mrs. Kennedy said that the reasons
behind her daughters hurried return
to Los Angeles would have to be
explained by her when she arrives
here.
A prospect of a possible sensational
development was held out by Rev. G.
E. Jaynes, said to be pastor of the
Riverside branch of the temple. He
said he expected something big to
follow the pastors return.
