FLOOD CONTROL
LEGISLATION
AWAITED

After having rushed through Mis-.
sissippi River flood control legisIa'
ton after the disastrous flood OF
1927, Congress may have to do its
work all over again.
With thousands of residents of the
valley dissatisfied with the plan de-
vised by Mai Gen. Edgar Jadwin,
chief of the Army engineers, power.
full political leaders are determined
to change it in the forthcoming reg
ular session of Congress.
The fight revOlves around ques-
ton which nearly prevented enact
ment of the ReidJones act by presi-
Genital veto.
Representatives of Southern States
demanded that the Federal Govern.
ment pay for several million acres
of land. which are to be overlooked
in times of flood to preserve the
!evees on the main river.
Called EXtravagant
President Coolidge opposed this as
extravagant and unnecessary, AMI
instead Jadwin devised the so-called
"fuseplug levee" plan, which con-
templated that owners could sue the
Government for damages only when
their lands were overflOwed.
A Federal Court decision in Lou
isiana to the effect that property
owners are entitled to compensd
ton for land used for flood con
troll purposes has complicated mat
ters.
Although many millions have al
ready been spent to safeguard the
great river under the Jadwln plan.
for which Congress authorized ex-
penditure of 1926, 900, muck i'm
portant work will be delayed pend.
ing a congressional decision.
The charge raised during the
flood control fight in Congress- that
rich absentee landlords were seek
in to collect millions of dollars
from the Government through sale
of swamp and cut-over timber
lands is expected to be couLtered
by claims that small farmers are
likely to lose everything under the
Jadwin plan.

Of hearing in federal court on the

mand the case to the Pottawatomie
county district court, he would agree
to the move if Harris consented.
Thomason'S attorney, however,
apparently desired to have his client
20 to trial in the federal court.
Harris was charged with killing
both Oscar Lowery and James
Harris, while Thomason was alleged
to have been connected only with
the Staying Of James Harris.
Harris. said Judge Vaught, in
making his decision. admitted he
killed both men but pleaded self
defense. Testimony of Mrs. James
Harris as given in the preliminary
hearing in state courts conflicts
with that given yesterday at the
hearing by Jeff Harris, the judge
declared.
"The question Of whether Jeff
Harris shot in self defense in the
killing of James Harris is one on
which the court has his doubts" the
Judge asserted. "Thomasons' testi-
mony yesterday was that James
Harris was shot after he had thrown
down his gun"
There is no evidence that Thonl-
ason. fired a single shot in the af-
fair Judge .Vaught declared.
