SENATORS TO VISIT
FLOODED REGIONS
Chairman Jones of Commerce
Committee Is Studying
Relief Measures.

Congress and the engineering agen-
cies of the Government should give
careful consideration to all methods
that have been proposed to minimize
the danger of a recurrence of so dis
astrous a flood as that which inun-
dated the valley of the Mississippi
this year, in the opinion OF Senator
Jones of Washington. chairman of the
Commerce committee, which handles
flood control Legislation in the Senate.
Chairman Jones and at least six
other members Of the Senate com
merce committee are preparing to visit
the flood zone the latter part of this
month to fortify themselves with first
hand information for the study which
is expected to be given the problem
of coping with the unruly Mississippi
at the next session of Congress.
Has Made Mental Notes.
While Chairman Jones has made
mental notes on the various engineer
ing suggestions that have been put
forward since the flood started, he
says he is going on the tour Of inspec-
tion with an open mind and will gather
all data possible from those who are
in closest touch with the problem Of
keeping this great stream within
bounds.
The Senator said it has occurred to
him that a second levee line. built up
some distance in back of the first line
of mans defense against the river,
might be feasible. but made it clear
that he has not inquired into the engi-
neering phases of such an undertak
ing sufficiently to do more than sug-
gest it for consideration along with
other proposed solutions.
Will Start From st. Louis.
He does not believe the establish
ment of reservoirs on the tributaries
of the Mississippi, to hold back some
of the water that contributes to the
torrent during flood times. would
prove an adequate safeguard.
The tour of the flooded area will be
made under auspices of the Mississippi
Flood Control Association, starting
from st. Louis Sunday morning, May
%. Among those who are expected to
make the trip are Senators Couzens
of Michigan, Dale of Vermont, Harris
of Georgia, Fletcher of Florida. Rams
dell of Louisiana and Stephens of
Mississippi. 1t is likely that members
of the House committee on flood con-
troll also will view the flood area be-
fore approaching the task of drafting
remedial legislation.

MONKEY BIRD
CAUGHT BY FILIPINOS
Eagle Captured in Islands Called
Worlds Toughest
Specimen.
BY the Assnciated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA. May 23.-An unusually
large specimen of the monkey-eating
eagle. which ornithologists say is the
toughest bird in the world, has been
captured by F'ilipinos in the forest of
Pozurrobio, Pangasinan province.
Almost everything that lives in the
island, including humans. is afraid Of
the monkey-eaters. This one had legs
almost as big around as mans
wrists and claws larger than mans
hands.
There are said to be not more than
100 of the birds in the entire archipel-
ago. Each patrols about 30 square
miles and allows no other bird of
prey to enter. After eXhausting
food supply a bird moves on to an.
other ';beat."
AS a last resort the eagles will eat
deer or live stock.
Trespass on another eagles beat
often means a conflict to the death
