 Ask Modification
 After this decision, President Gales asked congress to modify the law to conform to the constitution as interpreted by the court and le9- islation doing this was passed on December 26. 1927. and promulgat- ed January 10, 1928. The regulations now issued mako this effective.
 In Mexico the passage of a law by congress and even the taking ef- feet of that law through official publication does not dispose of the matter. The president may at any, time thereafter promuigare regula- tions Of the law. These regulatiozA are what count and they are n, law. for in Mexico nobody knows what the law Is until the president has announced its regulations.
 The 1917 constitution nationalixed the petroleum deposits and provided for "contirmatory concessions" to be '''"eASN !ii ehN loI pIcNlUuS tllltS to foreigners. who would renounce the right of appeal to their home governments on questions regarding the lands. These concessions were for fifty years and the Fundamental issue between the two governments was whether the law could deprive Of rights in oil property which they had lawfully acquired and owned before May 1917.
 Important Difference
 Another important point Of differ ence was the definition of positive acts.' The new regulations dispose of this point in a manner satisfac- tory to the United States by accept ing the definitions of positive acts q greed upon In the Warren-Pani agreements Of the so-called "Buca- reli conference" held in Mexico City in August 1923. As result of this agreement and the further agree nent that the oil laws would not be applied retroactivcly and In q con- fiscatory manner 10 American pro- perty the United States government recognized President Obregon.

DISPUTE OVER OIL
 LAWS IS ENDED
Pres. Gales Signs New RegQla,
 tions Regarding Them

Mexico City. March 2s R,-Ths dispute between Mexico and the United States over Mexico's oil laws was considered today to have ended with the signing by President Gales of new regulations regarding them.
 Dwight w. Morrow. American am- bassador who is regarded as having brought the controversy to an end, said the regulations showed the Mexican governments determination to recognize all the rights held by foreigners in oil properties prior to the adoption of the 1917 constltu- tion"
 Cause of Friction
 These laws. which have been a cause of friction between the two governments for ten years, were changed after conferences extending over two months between Ambassa- dor Morrow. President Gales and Luis Morones. minister of industry and commerce.
 The three important points Of the new regulations are:
 G-Titles legal before 1917 are confirmed.
 tc)-This confirmation Is valid in perpetuity. removing the 50 year contirmatory titles for rights held prior 10 1917. which the United States government considered con- tiscatory.
 G)-"Positive acts" or physical works upon lands necessary for re- tention of titles and mineral rights on the lands are defined more liber- ally.
 On November r., 1927. the su- preme court decided that the cutting down of the oil companies rights to

 Tenants did not know to whom they should safely hand their money. Some paid it to Allery. others to the lawyer. Most of them. however, hung onto their cash and remarked they would let the courts decide. AS the ownership of the property has been a legal mystery for two cen- turies, it was considered likely that the courts would be long period in deciding and some tenants thought that would mean long period with. out rent
 The aged claimant said he had discovered a missing link of evi- dence-a marriage certincate- which completely supported his con- tention that the estate was hia. He took possession of building called Russell House." which the lawyer had recently used as an office, and started to collect the rent.

Watson of Indiana is await ing an opportunity to get back home to look after his political fences, but there is no sign from the others that they will take to the road to press conventions.
 Like campaigners of former days. Senator Reed has set out to carry his fight for the democratic nomina- ton into at least half the states of the union. Already he has covered more than 5000 miles on a trip to tho Pacific coast. and he now is on a swing through ten more southern and midwestern states.
 Since he found out that Secre- tary Hoover would oppose him in the Ohio presidential primaries. Senator Willis has been spending his week-ends making speeches in his home state.

 Senator Watson, in Indiana. also has Hoover as m opponent in the primaries. He delivered one address in Indianapolis immediately after the commerce secretary filed as a candidate. but since then has been held here by congressional duties. Watson plans to spend a month cam paigning. probably starting off about April with speech in Winchester his home.
 Hoover has announced that he will make no pre-convention speeches. Nothing has developed to indicate he will change his mind.

CONCLUSION

When I was contemplating the
flight to Paris I looked forward
to making a short tour of Europe
with especial regard to the various
airports and aeronautical activities.
After I arrived, however, the
necessity Of returning to America
in the near future became appar-
ent and. after consultation with
Ambassador Houghton. who in
formed me that President Coolidge
was sending the cruiser Memphis

to America, flew the Spirit of st.
Louis to Gosport early one morn

Grated, through the courtesy CT the

I returned to London in the

and early the next morning flew a

LOS ANGELES, March 17.-ReSi-
dents of the once beautiful Sana
Clara River Valley today began the
work of turning the valley once more
into fruitful land while the work
of burying bodies of the dead IN the
st. Francis dam disaster continued.
Farmers were returning to their
property, and in some cases new
structures were forming on the foun-
dationS from which houses were
washed when 12,000,000,000 gallons
Of water came rushing down the
While conflicting reports were
made as to the number dead, 1t was
almost a certainty that the human
toll would be about 300 lives and
possibly more.
About 200 bodies have been lden-
tilted and about seventy five remain
unidentified.
Hold Inquest Early
AS the huge army of workmen
continued clearing debris and tan
gled wreckage it was believed more
bodies would be uncovered.
An inquest into the flood will be
held Tuesday when an attempt will
be made to officially place the blame
for the catastrophe.
Col. Charles T. Leeds, former
United States Department Of In
terror engineer, Friday headed a
committee of engineers employed by
Los Angeles to examine the wrecked
dam.
The matter of relief caused much
controversy between Los Angeles
city officials and the Red Cross, it
was reported.
The Red Cross favored a national
appeal for flood aid, while city Off
Gals stated that Los Angeles would
take care of the post-flood needs
without outside aid, it was said.
G. j. McTeague, chairman OF the
food relief committee at Santa
Paula issued the first official state
ment on the amount of damage
done to that town.
Santa Paula Hardest Hit
1.-THE city of Santa Paula is hard
est hit and the burden has fallen on
the working people of the city, who
can least afford to bear it." his
statement read.
Our survey shows 1875 homes have
been totally destroyed; 81 badly
dmaged; 81 partly damaged. The
damage to the homes in the city is
in round numbers 100000, not in
Guiding damage to farming property
streets, or public utilities within the
city limits.
1.-THE number of persons affected
in the afflicted area approximately
is 796. Probably rs per cent of dam
age to homes in the entire area is
within the city of Santa Paula; al
though, of course, there is a large
property damage to farming lands,
highways. utilities and railroads"

CHAPTER xxx

XXTHEN the first few arrived, I
w attempted to get them to
hold the rest of the crowd back,
away from the plane, but appar-
emily no one could understand, or
would have been able to conform to
my request if he bad.
I cut the switch to keep the pro-
peller from killing some one, and
attempted to organize an i'm
promptu guard for the plane.
The impossibility of any immedi-
ate organization became apparent
and when parts Of the ship began
to crack from the pressure Of the
multitude I decided to climb out
of the cockpit in order to draw the
crowd away.
Speaking was impossible; no
words could be heard in the uproar
and nobody apparently cared to
hear any.
I started to climb out of the cock
pit, but as soon as one foot ap-
peared through the door I was
dragged the rest Of the way with
out assistance on my part.
For nearly half an hour I was
unable to touch the ground, during
which time I was ardently carried
around in what seemed to be very
small area, and in every position
it is possible to be in.
Every one had the best of inten-
tons but no one seemed to know
just what they were.
The French military fliers very
reSourcefully took the situation in
hand.

danger in another hangar.

capability was remarkably demon

Ambassador Herrick extended me
