DETOUR BAD INFLUENCE
Cause Too Many Accidents. Says
State Highway Man.

Maintaining detours, as provided
under law passed by the 1927 In
diana Legislature, have contributed
to the delinquency of drivers. Judg-
ing from an accident report COM
piled by Maintenance Superintendent
A. H. HinkIe of the State highway
department. The report shows that
since the detour routes have become
well-kept highways, speeding has
caused an accident increase.
The new law does not provide that
all hazards be eliminated, and these
are the cause Of accidents to speed
ers, Hinkle said.
The departments is installing warn
ing and guide signs on detours in
an effort to decrease accidents.

/. TO SAVE HOMES
!. FOR THOUSANDS
100000 May Be Made
/ Homeless by Impend-
F ing Levee Break.

BIZ United Press .M
Despite engineers predictions that
q break in the levee is certaiN thou;
sands of workers today labored to
strengthen the Mississippi dixie at
Big Bend to prevent homes Of 100000
southern Louisiana residents being
flooded.
The Big Bend is an egg-shaped
turn of Bayou Des GLASSES in Avoy-
ellles Parish. Technical experts said
the chance is slight that a break in
the levee at this point can be avert
ed. If the retaining wall gives way
at any point along twenty-seven-
mile stretch of the river, thirteen
south-central parishes of the State
would be inundated Suffering from
the flood in Louisiana which is now
greater than in any of the other
stricken States, would be doubled by
This eventuality.
Crisis Wednesday
Engineers fixed "Wednesday as
the time of the expected break at
Big Bend. The crest Of the flood will
be there then and the dixie will be
under maximum strain.
In addition to driving 100000 per-
sons from the valley, the flood would
innundate the great sugar cane belt
Of Louisiana and cause damage OF
millions of dollars.
Two hundred and fifty boats have
been ordered into Bayou des GLASSES
to. stand by in anticipation of the
flood.
iFAlthough evacuation orders have
been issued, few residents Of the
threatened territory have left their
homes, preferring to remain until
they feel the-water in their shoes. ;"
s@ Refugee Problem
Care of the thousands of refu-
gees expected to be driven out of the
valley constituted another NAM
moth problem confronting relief
workers. Camps will have to be es-
tablished on high and in back Of
the flooded area and many Of the
victims may have to be removed
long distances to safety. Water to
the north will cut off retreat in that
direction.
The Big Bend section was aggra-
Waited by northern flood waters,
which have filled Red River and Old
River in turn and, are emptying into
the Mississippi above the danger
point. Normally this water would
be carried off by the Atchafalaya
River.

Stearn'S Catholic Son Gives
Rise to RumorS Regard
ing Coolidge.
Times Washinoton Bnreau.

BOSTON, Mass, May 9.-An at
tempt to drag a religious issue into
the campaign for the next Repub-
lican presidential nomination is re.
ported here.
Leaders in the drive to obtain a
third term for President Coolidge
are known to be somewhat disturbed
by what they are advised is a well.
organized campaign Of whispers that
is under the domination of the
Catholic church.
The basis for such a campaign as
reported here is Coolidge's long
standing and intimate association
with Frank w. Stearns, wealthy
Boston merchant, generally regard
ed as the Presidents closest friend
and political adviser.
Holy Cross Librarian
Stearns has a son, Foster W
Stearns, who entered the Roman
Catholic Church in 1911. He is at
present the librarian at Holy Cross
College, a Catholic institution in
Worcester. Mass.
The underground campaign, as
outlined here, identifies Frank
Stearns as closely affiliated with the
Catholic Church because his son,
Foster, is an active worker in it.
Stearns' intimate relationship with
President Coolidge Is then cited by
the whisperers to make the chain
complete.
Here in Boston, where the Stearns
family is widely known. and where
Coolidge laid the foundation for his
national political career, the sug-
gestion that Coolidge is under the
influence of the Catholic or any
other church is regarded as prepos

Stearns Protestant
Frank Stearns is a Congregational.
list as is President Coolidge, and is
said to be an active supporter of
that church.
In Massachusetts, formerly a hot
bed of religious antagonism, the re.
ligious issue has been squelched by
the administration Of Governor Alvin
T. Fuller, a Baptist whose wife is
devout Catholic. When he first
ran for office his opponents used
this fact to sound alarms. But papal
domination has failed to materialize
during his two and a half years ir
office.
The alleged under-cover campaign
concerning Coolidge and Stearns is
regarded as likely to be of no i'm
portance in the East. 1t is the rural
districts of the West and South,
where the campaign is reported to
be we'll organized and active; that
its possible political effect is the
subject of concern.
There, it is feared. the story may
be so magnified and distorted as TO
cause the raising of religious issue
in the Republican party.
