ON GEN. SANDING


MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. (49--
Men and airplanes are concentrating
in the province OF Nueva SegoVia in
preparation for the drive against
General Sandiho and his guerrillas.
The American marines who captured
Quilali last week are well supplied
with food and ammunition, and the
wounded in the recent fighting are
being well cared for.
The present, location OF Sandirlo
is not known. The nature of the
country affords fine hiding places
for the rebel bands, but the American
planes, in their patrols, drop bombs
in likely spots Or wherever there is
the slightest indication OF the
presence of the guerrillas they are
seeking.
Six new pursuit planes nave reach
ed Quilali, and the air section is in
excellent shape to bomb the enemy,
Most of the towns in NueVa Segovia
are in the hands OF the marines, and
as additional towns are taken over,
the reinforcements will be installed
The national guard, under General

Additional details OF Sundays battle
near Quilali tell OF q savage counter
attack by the Marines and national
guardsmen for the recapture of tho
body Of Sergeant Thomas G. Bruce
who was shot down by the rebels
while leading an advance patrol. The
rebels numbered several hundred
and after killing Bruce they carried
off his body.
Shortly afterWard, the relief column
came up and cut its way through
the rebels, smashing them right anc
left. Bruce's body was retalzen anc
carried to Quilali.
A marine officer counted 38 rebels

new MEXICO IN
line FOR FLOOD
CONTROL TT BY j. S.

WASHINGTON, Jan. CP--New
Mexico's congressional delegation, in
Guiding Senator Cutting, who was
sworn in two days age, presented a
plea for the construction OF flood
reservoirs in that state today TO the
house flood control committee.
Senator Cutting, a republican who
was appointed to the seat OF the
late Andrieus A. Jones, together with
Senator Bratton and Representative
Morrow, democrats, declared they ia
vored the shouldering OF the flood
control cost by the federal govern
ment.
Reservoirs should be a part Of a
national flood plan" Senator Bratton
declared. Mr.. Morrow said that res
ervoirs should be constructed at the
headWaterS of the Canadian and
Cimarron rivers which are tSa main
feeding streams into the Arkansas
river
Control of the Arkansas river by
reservoirs would eliminate floods in
Oklahoma and Arkansas, Morrow con-
tinued, and reduce the Mississippi
river flood plane. He said the states
were negotiating a tri-state compact
for control Of the Arkansas.
Senator Bratton submitted re-
port of the New Mexico state en-
gineer which recommended the con-
struction of a 240 foot high dam at
a cost of $12,OO0,OOO at the mouth of
hte CouchaS river, tributary OF
the Canadian river'
He recommended that the federal
government pay for the reservoirs

entered the state hospital for the in
sane here tonight upon commitment
papers from Cincinnati, Hamilton
county, where a jury several weeks
ago found him not guilty of the slay-
ing Of his wife, Imogene, on the ground
of insanity
The departure of Remus and his
counsel from Cincinnati took place
rather hurriedly this afternoon after
the Hamilton county court had refused
to nullify his commitment to the in
sane asylum.
The move was made purposely to
continue the fight on neutral soil, Ell
ston said The party made the trip
here by automobile.
Rernus had his choice of going to
the state hospital or of lingering in
the county jail at Cincinnati where
he had been incarcerated since his ar
rest last October for the Staying of
his estranged wife, Imogene.
Immediately after Common Pleas
Judge Charles Bell had dismissed the
habeas corpus petition, Attorney FL
ston filed an appeal from the decision
of Probate Judge William Lueders
holding 5Rennus insane.
Common Please Judge Stanley y
Strubl set the appeal for hearing next
Monday but he refused to release
Remus on bond.
! RENTS and Elston then decided to
evade the issue by going at once to
Lima. Despite any action that may be
taken here the appeal at Cincinnati
will stand Elston said.

DIR. Milo r. Maltbie, former mem.

DR.. Maltbie will have a staff OF

no time TO consider specific phases
of the local traction situa ton until
he has finished his preliminary

1t is probable that Senator Cap

evidence to show that the commits
