 The Enburys formerly made their home with Narada. but following slight differences they moved in with Tams, a widower.

 Desperate Measures

This meeting will protest against the liberal govern ment of Vintila Bratianu. Juliu Maniu. leader of the peasants party, has promised to give them a bettep government.
 Such tremendous meeting Is un- paralleled in the history of Rumania but neutral foreign observers be- lleve that it will be long time be- fore the peasants party realies its aims. The Bratianu regime exer- cises complete political mastery and has ironclad control over the na- tion's productive life. Its firm grip is on all the treasures of the coun- try, including rich oil fields, coal mines, forests, fisheries, Boundaries and factories, granaries, water pow CT transportation, banks and great corporations.
 The most that Is expected is that the congress will make known to the world some of the grievances and disabilities under which the untutor- ed masses are suffering.

 The conspirators were alleged to have eNtorted money for promised police protection which. however, was not forthcoming because of an unexpected change of officers in charge of raiding squads. When his place was visited and ordered closed, the hotel man told his story to the district attorney.
 Operatives of the district attorney were concealed in room adjoining that in which two of the alleged con- spirators met the hotel man to talk over a new offer of protection and their conversation was taken down by official stenographers. One of the men was followed to the office of the lawyer involved.

 His statement follows:
 At the present time there are apparently q number of cases of ill., ness in the city which are causing dlsa billty but are not resulting in fatalities. The communicable dis eases reported to the health depart ment are very low. This fact being true. ones first inclination would be to say that the sickness complained Of IS not ot communicable nature. This conclusion is not accurate. Ap- parcntly the disease is of a non-re- portable nature, though it is distinct ly communiCab By that We mean 1t is not required 10 he reported by state law. From what conversation We have had with physicians the conclusion seems to be that the ill., ness is closely associated with the common cold and grippe both of which are communicable.
 ''Brietly, the situation is this Weather conditions for several weeks past have been such as to favor the development of common colds. The common cold is. of course, readily communicable, more readily so when the person exposed is at low ebb Of vitality by req day followed by a very cold day may have the ultimate effect of lowering peoples resistance to such a point that colds can be contracted very tinucs over an extended period of time, it is easily understood how | many persons may be extremely susceptible to common colds. one wears d heavy coat today and finds it too warm.

PRESIDENTIAL VETOES
 ARE BROADLY TINTED
Flood Control and Farm Relief Bills Not Satisfac-
 tory to Coolidge

Washington May 5 (P - Three major pieces of legislation, two in the last stages of their journey to the White House and one under de- bate in the senate, are now claim ing the attention of President Cool idge, with prospects that two, un- less further revised, will fail of ihs approval.
 These are the Mississippi flood control and McNary- Haugen relief measures. A conference agreement on the former was to be taken up in the house today. and indications had pointed to speedy approval. The farm bill also has passed both houses and has entered conference. Quick action on this also is predict ed. as only minor differences remain to be overcome.
 Proponents of both measures have forecast presidential approval, claiming that nearly all of the ex- ecutive's objections had been met. President Coolidge disagrees. how ever. on this point. After a careful study of the two bills he feels that neither has been revised sufficiently to meet his views.
 On the other hand, he believes the Boulder Canyon dam bill now pending in the senate conforms to the needs of the Colorado river situation, and he would like to see it passed by both houses at this session. He feels that the proposed dam would meet the flood control requirements and that the bills en- actment would give southern Cali Ornia a better water supply.
 Since power development. in his opinion, would be only incidental to the main objectives of the plan, he believes that this should not stand in the way of 8 final solution of the problem.
 The president appreciates that many changes have been made in the McNary- -Haugen bill, but he

 The leak around the outlet valve at the base of the dyke was grad ually growing larger and 8 crack that extended the full length had de- veloped in the crown, Mills said. He left the dam about 6 a. m.
 Saluda river. immediately below the dam, has ceased to rise. despite the flow of water through the leak, D. A. Talley, who lives four miles below the dam. said.
 Greenville, s. C., May F>-The Saluda river valley was deserted to- day as the spectre of disaster by flood lowered over the mill towns and farms along the rivers banks.
 Impending collapse of the huge new earthen dam of the Greenville water system sent 2O,000 residents of the valley to higher ground last night, when B. w. Andere, Table Rock innkeeper, broadcast a warn- ing that the 5000, 100000 gallons of water impounded in the artificial lake were pouring through a big leak around the outlet valve at the bottom of the dyke.
 Thousands Leave Home
 The innkeeper's warning was car ried by courier and telephone and the thousands left their homes to the mercy of the floods, taking only what possessions they could carry,
 Throughout the night the river rose rapidly as waters poured through the leak which gradually grew. while other sections of the dam showed signs of weakening,

 Alarm Spreads Quickly
 The alarms soon spread through the valley and within a short time the exodus was under way
 Today it was believed that every one who lived in the endangered area had needed the alarm and sought safety on nearby hills.
 Water behind the dam, recently completed to give Greenville a con- stant supply of water, measured 115 feet in depth when the lead was found and ten hours later the gauge had dropped only two feet, leaving 113 feet of water to sweep down the valley should the rapidly weakening dam collapse under the pressure of the immense lake.
 Four miles below the dam, the saluda rose at the rate of a foot an hour.

Navy Pliers Set New World Mark
 For Seaplane Endurance Flight;
 Remain Aloft More Than 36 Hrs.
Lieuenants Gavin and Soucek Better Old Record by Hours, p Minutes and 43 Seconds - Flight Was
 Carried On in Secrecy, Is Officially Recognized

Philadelphia, May , Pi-The worlds flight endurance record for Seaplanes was bettered by : hours -o minutes 4S seconds today by the tN-l2 which landed at the Phla- delphia navy yard after a flight of more than 56 hours. l minute and l4 seconds. The old record was 2S hours 35 minutes and . seconds.
 lieutenanIs Arthur Gavin and Zeus Soucek, pIloted the PN-l2 with a crew of two, J. C. proley, aviation mechanic. and Ii. F. Dayton. a mem- ber of the Wright Aeronautic com pany.
 Took on Thursday
 The PN-12 took off Thursday aft ernoon at 2:56:16; at 1:25:43 D. I'll. Friday, the old record, set May 1-2, 1925, by Lieutenants (. II. Schild- hauer and J. E. Kyle in the PN-s, went by the boards. 4 half hour later, 7;55:45, l.. $. T., the new rec ord was established and the plane kept it's course until it landed today at 2:51:30 a. m.
 The international code for holding such tests and flights proved that when the flight is more than 4S hours in length the old record must he exceeded by one hour. When the flight lasts from 24 to 4S hours. the old record falls when it has been exceeded by one-half hour.
 hn io,l, ly, and c. F. Shory, an official tim CT Of the National Aeronautic asso- clation. arrived at 6 D. m. last night from Washington to be prepared a certify the time.
 Absolute secrecy shrouded the flight and it was not until d few hours before the actual breaking of the record that the news leaked out of the navy yard. Navy officials eX- plained that they did not wish to in the event of failure or mishap. The attempt was conducted under the supervision of Henry C. Cocklin. project engineer of the naval air craft factory here.
 The plane spent the first day at a height of 800 feet. making short runs up and down the Delaware riv- er until late last night when the plane circled the field at an alti- tude Of about $50 feet until the gasoline supply was exhausted. Weather conditions were ideal. The plane is equipped with two R-1750 Wright air-cooled whirlwind motors, an enlargement Of the model used in Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis.
 Winners of Trophy Lieutenant Gavin last year the winner of the Schiff trophy. an hon. or given to the f1ier who completes the greatest number of hours in the ai' during a year without mishap or accident to plane, passenger or equipment. He flew S47 hours to win the trophy. Lieutenant Gavin has a long record of achievement to his credit. He was member of the crew of the PN-9 No. 8 when that ship. with the PN-9. Nos. 1 and ? attempted a flight to Hawaii in 1925 under the late Commander John Rodgers.
 Lieutenant Soucek is Pacific coast flier, stationed at the navy yard here, and is naval aviation superintendent of the aeronautcal engine section of the Philadelphia navy yard.
