PRESIDENT |SF|RM
ON FLOOD PROGRAM
House Committee Chairman
Says Lawmakers viii Ac-
Cede Partly to Coolidge.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Summoned to the White House for
another conference on Mississippi food
control, Chairman Madden of the House
appropriation committee declared today
upon leaving that President Coolidge
has made all the concessions he intends
to offer to the supporters of the Jones
Senate bill
Madden scarcely had left the White
House when Chairman Reid of the
House food control committee an
nounced that his committee had decided
to accede In part to the President.
List of Amendments.
Amendments which Reid said the
committee would sponsor on the House
floor will be:
A provision to place upon the States
instead of the Federal Government the
costs Of furnishing the rights OF way
for levees on the main stream OF the
Mississippi River from Cape Girardeau,
Missouri. TO the Gulf of Mexico.
The elimination of section OF the
measure which would make the Federal
Government liable for damages 10 rail-
roads which traverse the path OF the
proposed floodways In Arkansas, Loutsi-
ana. and Missouri.
The addition OF clause absolvina
the Federal Government from liability
during future floods.
In view, however. OF Maddens an
nouncement, which appeared To amount
| to White House ultimatum. there was
no prospect yet OF an agreement be-
tween the President and the House
because the amendments agreed to by
Chairman Reid fail far short OF Mr.,
Coolidge's wishes.
Presidents Views Restated.
Madden said the President adhered to
the views he had expressed TO House
leaders Friday evening, when he insisted
that at least the following four pro-
| visions be included In the bill
ID That New Orleans and Missouri
localities, respectively. protect the Gov
ernment against any damages accru-
ing during the period Of construction
OF the spillwayS and fioodways.
(2) That localities along the main
stream provide the ground for con-
struction Of levees free OF charge Ia
the Federal Government.
(3) Participation to the extent OF
331, per cent by States OF the cost Of
flood control work along the tribu-
tariea.
"a That the Federal Government
would pay for any lands which 1t might
take over or use In the execution OF the
fiood-relief plans,
Chairman Madden foresaw an early
vote In the House on the Senate Jones
bill, and although he would not predict
It's defeat, he was confident that adj
mihistration supporters could muster
enough votes To prevent fepassage over
veto These calculations we're based
on the supposition that the House and
the President would reach no agree
ment.

Mrs. Russell Says We Are So Puri- tanical Young People Are Drawn Into Sex Relationship.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 21 (UP1- Puritanical standards of Sex rela- tionship are driving young people into secret relationships and prom iscuity. Mrs. Bertrand Russell, of England. declared in a speech here.
 Mrs. Russell. refused permission to make her address at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, advocated "open and decent preliminary partnerships before marriage"
 Present social standards restrict persons from being happy in mar riage. she said.
 T have great hope that the time is coming when people will not re- gard unfavorably young people hav- ing premarital experience" she said.
 Mrs. Russell proposed legal rec ognition of birth control and easier divorce of childless union by mutual consent.
 T do not advocate polygamy but the present position of a wife com pares unfavorably with that of slave wives of the past.
 'The opposition which we always hear to birth control is that it would allow people to have enjoyment of married life without the consent burden and worries of parenthood.
 Tt Is this very dread and horror that is poisoning the relationships of men and women today"

SEEK AN INJUNCTION
Want Police Restrained From Inter- ferring With Select Bridge Club In New York.

New York, Feb. 21 (UP)-There is nothing more disconcerning to bridge players than to have police interrupt the playing of four spades doubled or enter card room just as a delicate tinesse is being at- tempted.
 With the trutsm in mind the Alexandra Raymond club has ap- piled in supreme court for an injunc- ton to restrain the police. and par ticularly one Captain Meade, from interfering with the Alexandra Ray mond club, composed of 100 select players who shuffle and deal at an exclusive upper west side address.
 Miss Raymond and her sister. Mrs. George Broadhurst, wife of the thea trical producer. complained that they bad been arrested twice. on the ground that gambling had been conducted in the club and both times had been freed in magistrates court.
 Nevertheless, they protested. Cap tain Meade later accused them of operating a gambling house and threatened further trouble.
 '"The members of the club" they said, "are eminently respectable ladies and gentlemen who play bridge for relaxation and not as gamblers"
