Goodhue, mother of Mrs Calvin Cool

The wife Of the president visited the
hospital three times during the day.
DR.. Hayes let it be known today that
Mrs. Goodhue had been delirious most

faulty kidney function. She had been

Important features concerning the
safety of concrete dams and the ne
cessity of requiring state supervision
over the construction and mainte-
nance of dams were emphasized in
the commissions report, which as
serted that the ST. Francis dam it
self was designed and constructed
according to sound engineering speci-
fications. The stability of such struc-
lures when built on solid foundations
was evidenced by the fact that the
middle portion stood unsupported
through the worst of the flood, the
engineers declared.
Governor Young, in making public
the report, called attention to the fact
that the commission, composed of
some of Americas most eminent engi-
neers and geologists, served without
compensation.

Heavy Damage Reported to
Farm Lands and Live
stock; 500 Refugees

SAN FRANCISCO, March q Up
With the danger of further floods
definitely past as rain ceased and
fair weather was forecast, northern
California tonight took an inventory
of the damage caused when seven
rivers and their tributaries went on
rampages. The inventory disclosed.
lone dead, and two other men
reported missing and possibly the
victims of the swollen rivers.
2-Heavy property damage to farm
lands, livestock and farm animals
drowned, bridges and roads washed
cut, and train traffic impeded
S--More than 500 refugees from the
flood areas cared for in camps
1.-The danger of further breaks on
several levees, which it was believed
hight be prevented by crews of slen
placing sandbags on the threatened
spots.
The danger points we're at levees at
Alicia on the Feather river, the levee
south of the Yuba river opposite
Marysville, the 1evee near the Dur
ham land colony, and breaks in the
Stanislaus river seven miles south OF
Manteca.
1t was feared that gap in the
levee at Alicia would widen and flood
more than 200 homes tonight. Sacks
of sand were placed in the threaten
ed break opposite Marysville and it
was believed the danger was averted.
Residents were forced to flee from
the land colony at Durham, and SO
men from Chico hurried there to
aid in reinforcing the levee.
Marysville was safe behind q strong
levee, and Sacramento was not n any
danger NJ r.. Taylor, neteorologist,
reported that the only serious situa-
ton on the Sacramento river was
between the mouth of Stony creek TO
the mouth of the American river. He
said the American river was expected
to recede tonight.
Quincy, in Plumas county, was cut
off from outside communication by
the flood waters, and an airplane
flew from Mills Field in San Fran
cisco with rs pounds of yeast to
avert a threatened bread famine.
The two rivers bridge across the
middle fork of the Feather river near
Cromberg, was swept away and the
dislodged structure struck and tore
loose the Quincy Lumber companyS
railroad bridge at Sloat
At River functions farms farm
er, B. A Whitman, was reported
missing and anxiety was felt for his
safety. Twenty families had moved
from their homes. The loss OF live
stock was heavy, and one herd Of 80
dairy COWS was drowned.
Reports from the weather bureau
here were to the effect that the storm
had moved northeast to Vancouver
island, and that California will have
several days of clear weather.
Although the drainage from the
slopes may continue to feed the rivers
and tributaries, it was believed chat
the streams will conduct the water
safely to the sea and prevent further
flood damage.

It also was said at the capital
that even if the New Jersey concern
had not intimated that it desired to
bid that the department nevertheless
would have been compelled to call
for bids in order to receive the
expected Goodyear offer.
The NicarAguan debate was opened
by Rep. Moore, of Virginia, VINO in
quired how much the presence OF
marines in the Central American
country was costing. Rep. French, OF
Idaho, in charge OF the measure, said
that this would not be known ur<l
the last deficiency appropriation bill
of the present session had been
started.
La Guardia declared that the cost
approXimated between $4,000 and
100000 a day to keep Cne marines
in Nicaragua and that he believed
they were there for a useless purpose.
No matter how the Nicaraguan elec-
ton results, he declared, marines will
be needed to enforce its decisions.
He argued that the administration
should put the ideals and hopes
expressed by Charles Evans Hughes
at the Havana Pan-American con-
ference into execution by withdrawing
the marines.
The bill among other things carries
funds to maintain the navy at its
present strength and also to continue
construction OF eight 10000 ton
cruisers and two fleet submarines.
