Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 10 F- With menacing flood waters in the Lake Okeechobee region beginning to subside, new threat left by the storm in Florida arose today at Inglis. a small community some 70 miles north of Tampa near the west coast, where the Florida Power Corporations large dam was report ed endangered by rapidly rising wa ters of the Withlacoochee river.
 The dam, which ordinarily forms a large lake. was backing more than thousand acres of water from the torrential rains which accompanied the tropical hurricane.
 The dam is located about IS miles from the mouth of the river and the gulf, and it was said that if it gave way, a small part of Inglis would be inundated by the waters Yankee town, an even smaller community at the mouth of the river. would be di- rectly in the path of the water, a resident of Ingls said.
 Meanwhile with clear skies last night and by bright sunshine today which followed alm lost 36 hours of constant heavy rain, reports were received from Okeechobee that flood waters which had cut off that town completely by rail and highway and submerged a 25 mile stretch of rich flaming lands eastward to Fort Pierce on the coast began receding this morning at o'clock.

Statutes Permit Use of Funds for Such as Me-
 mOrial Dedication

Upon being informed by Assistant Corporation Counsel Mortimer H. Camp that state statutes permit of tax money being expended for pub lie exercises such as the dedication of the World War memorial, the finance committee last night voted to recommend that $10,0 be set aside.
 Chairman E. F. Hall of the finance committee had expressed a belief that the statute was not broad enough, but bis interpretation was questioned by Charles r. Smith, chairman of the board of directors of Landers. Frary & Clark, and for mer committeeman. The question was then referred to Attorney Camp whose opinion was presented to the committee last night.
 Senator Hall was in the state leg islature when laws governing taxa tion for welcome home celebrations, erection of memorials, etc, were passed, and it was his understanding that the intent of the facts was not tO lUCluut Iut SO6L VI The interpretation placed on the law by Mir. Camp relieves Senator Halls committee of the arduous task of conducting a campaign for public subscriptions, drive which, in his expressed opinion. might be unsuc- cessful in view of present economic conditions.

Chairmen of ub-committees who have conferred with Senator Hall estimate their needs at $S.o0o A few of the chairmen have not completed their budgets, and to cover these an additional $2.000 haa been included.

gress Of another tropical disturb ance central last night over an area just south of the waters between Haiti and Cuba, 500 to 600 miles southeast of Florida, and heading west-northwest. While its course was problematical, the general di- rection of the hurricane. which was said by the Washington weather bu- reau to be gaining in intensity, ap- peared to point in the general direc- tion of Cuba. rather than the Bahamas.
 Tuesdays storm was reported early today from Mobile to have dissipated itself in the Gulf of Mex ico. although somewhat heavy winds were blowing in toward the gulf states.
 The National Red Cross and local relief agencies already had taken d hand in the survey of conditions left by the hurricane when H. c. Hull. residing just west of Jupiter on the east coast, reported dis dressing conditions in the sparsely settled rich farming country east of Lake Okeechobee. His information, however, concentrated attention on that area, and immediately food and roofing material was dispatch ed. Last night 100 persons whose homes had been flooded and who were cut off from the nearest city had been fed.

SALARY TANGLE SEEMS EVEN MORE INVOLVED
Corporation Counsel Gives Opinions But Mayor Is
 Not Satisfied

Legal guidance in salary matters demanded of Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham by Mayor Paon- essa is given in a letter received at the mayors office while he was away on vacation, and perused by him when he returned to office to- day.
 The questions cleared up by the opinion are:
 It was not necessary for the com mon council to fix the salary of Chairman James J. Watson. Unless there is action by the com mon council to readjust the salaries of the chairman of the fire and po- lice boards. board of public works. board of compensation and assess- ment .and members of the latter two boards. they will remain the same as paid their predecessors:
 The prosecuting attorneys etc. having been reelected. rather than appointed to vacancies. no council action is necessary to fix their sal aries;
 The salary of the chairman of the water board will be $1,2O0 whether the mayor vetoes the council resolu- tion or not. and if it is vetoed no precedent will have been set. All of these questions had been asked of the corporation counsel in a letter in which the mayor de- manded straightforward statements Of law" and hinted that he would go elsewhere for legal advice If the corporation counsel did not furnish him with the information sought.
 After reading the letter this morn ing. the mayor was asked to com- ment. He answered that the infor- nation is rot entirely satisfactory. and that he is convinced the corpor- alton counsel made an error but is unwilling to admit 1t.
 Judge kirkham's statement fol- lows:--
 Replying to your letter of July 27. I will state that in my opinion 1t was and is unnecessary for the common council to again fix the salary of MT. Watson. the new chairman of the water board, who was elected to fill vacancy.

Doctors Studying Case of Holyoke, Mass, Girls To Sec If It Is Wise to Attempt Cutting Them from Each Other.

New York, Aug. 10 (UP)-On { wide bed in West Park hospital to. day Mary and Margaret Gibb, 17. year-old "Siamese Twins" awaited the report of scientific observation which may result in an operation tc free them from each other.
 Might Marry
 Dr. Francis r. Weston, the sur. geon who has undertaken this uu. usual case, declined to confirm re. ports from the twins home town Holyoke. Mass, that they were seek. ing to be cut apart so that one o them, Margaret, might marry. Dr Weston told the United Press, how ever. that he had been studying the case for many months and that h. was considering the advisability O an operation to separate them.
 T do not care to comment exten sively on this" Dr. Weston said. "I is delicate matter and does no concern the public. The girls ar joined together and 1t may be pos sible to separate them. That is al I can say"
 Only Ones in Country
 Mary and Margaret are the daugh ters of Mir. and Mrs. John R. Gibl who brought them here where the, could be observed and studied b, pr. Weston. They are said to b. the only "Siamese Twins' alive wh, were born in this country.

Biographer of Smith Declares To In. stitute Of Politics That Vast Ma jority Must Favor To Make Law Enforceable.

Williamstown Mass, Aug. 10 R1 The United States has a good exam pie to follow in Sweden in the mat ter of liquor control and real tenn perance, Norman Hapgood, editor, writer and biographer of Gov. Smith told geneal conference of the h. stitute of Politics today.
 Sweden never undertakes to en- force the idea of a mere majority" Mir. Hapgood said, "referendums are merely advisory and if 65 per cent of the Swedish people voted for ab- solute prohibition tomorrow the leg lslature would refuse to act on the ground that the percentage was too low to make enforcement possible" Misuse of Power
 On the other hand, passage of the eighteenth amendment was describ- ed as "an example of the majority's misuse of its power by attempting an impossible control of the minority" This attempt is made far more serious blunder. it might almost be called political crime, when the temporary majority puts it's views into instrument almost as hard to change back again as were the la,e of the Medes ana the Persians, MT Hapgood continued. "Practi. cally We have thrown away the es. sence of free government, which h to keep laws in touch with chang ing opinion"
 The way out of the difficulty, h, believed, was for tho rederal gov ernment to contine Its enforcement activities to distinctly federal fielH and leave to the states either t, carry out, or leave undone, the rest 1 Smith Points Way
