He was born at Halifax. Yorkshire

Flood waters pouring into Hutchinson

Members of the 1st Battalion of the

protect lives and property. No loss Of
life had been reported this morning.
Cow Creek, ordinarily placid stream
10 feet wide, transformed into raging

The waters from the creek entered
Hutchinson from the north, inundat-

mittee has saved the taxpayers many
thousands of dollars.
Another outgrowth of the co-ordi-
mating work of the Budget Bureau was
the Federal Specifications Board. Before
its creation every branch OF the Gov
eminent wrote its own specifications on
whatever 1t bought. There was no uni
formity in supplies purchased. What
one bureau liked and approved another
disliked and disapproved. Even the or
binary incandescent bulb was the sub
ject of varying and conflicting specifi-
cations. It was inevitable, under such
decentralization, that the Government
should pay more.
StandardizIng Specifications.
The Specifications Board was set up
Burgess, able head of the Bureau OF
Standards. Membership is composed OF
representatives from the various depart
mentS and independent Offices. Each
member spoke for his own department
and served without other pay than he
received for his regular work.
The Specifications Board wrote stand
ard specifications of articles generally
used through the Government service
were gratifying. Buying under standard
specifications the Government saved
perhaps millions OF dollars.
Nearly eight years have passed since
the Specifications Board was eStab-
lished. 1t has written approximately
600 specifications, standards for Gov
eminent supplies. Its specifications are
recognized as models; many private
concerns have adopted them. 1t would
be impossible to estimate the total Of
the savings to the taxpayers because of
the boards hard work They have been
tremendous. The work of the board has
not cost the Treasury q single addi-

PLANS TO PRESERVE
OLD-T|ME CAPITOL
Virginia Committee on An
tiques to Restore Building
at Williamsburg.

Basic plans for the restoration Of the
old Capitol Building at Williamsburg,
Va, have been drawn by Perry, Hep
burn 81 Shaw, architects, and tenta-
lively approved by restoration officials
and the capitol committee of the As
ISOLATION for the Preservation of Vir-
ginia Antiques.
With the original foundations of the
building unearthed, further study of
the original architectural design Is pro-
crossing steadily. The date for begin
ming of construction has not been set,
pending changes that may be necessi-
tated in plans.
Restoration work on the Sir Christie
pher Wren building, the oldest aca-
demic building in the United States, Is
being continued slowly, owing to
changes which are being constantly
made, as new information regarding its
original plan is obtained, it was an
nounced.
Plans Undergo Change.
During the last week plans for the
Wren building restoration were changed
in some of their details regarding the
pitch of rooms, and the like, making
changes in plans for the third story
of the building essential. Architects
said they are anxious to have all the
restored building authentic in every
detail, in spite of the fact that con-
tinual changes make the work appear
slow.
When completed, the Wren building
Is expected to be used as a museum,
and no longer as a building for classes
OF the College of William and Mary,
on whose campus it was one of the
three original buildings erected at the
close of the seventeenth century.
Between S and 10 per cent of the
restoration on buildings irf Williams
burg has been started, architects de-
clared although definite figures on the
entire project. including streets, green's,
landscaping and other details are not
yet available.
Work Temporarily Delayed.
Work on houses in the process OF
restoration on Duke of Gloucester
street is temporarily held up as a re-
suit of changes being made IN the city
building code. Men are now working
on foundations of the old Raleigh tav-
ern, which is to be reconstructed i'm
mediately with the new building code
alterations.
The site of the Capitol building was
owned by the Association for the
Preservation of Virginia Antiques which
has offered the site to the restoration
interests for reconstruction Of the
building. The association is being con-
suited concerning plans, as Is the Vir-
ginia Art Commission and other au-
thoritieS on Colonial architecture. The
A. P. v. A. committee visited the site
of the capitol the other day and went
over the foundations with the archi-
tects.

FOUR SCOBEY BOYS
RANSACK DWELLING

Scobey.-Jinmy Buer, Ralph Ward,
Phileas Due and Eugent Drummond
were taken into custody by the Off
GERS the first of the week after an
investigation of the report by local
citizen that his home had been broken
into last week.
When taken in tow by the county
officers the two older boys, Buer and
Ward, said they were searching for
booze. The boys evidently thought all
private homes have their stocks of IL
quor, as the home they broke into be-
longs to strictly temperate citizens.
The owners were at a dance at the
time and when they returned they
found their belongings strewn all over
the place. However, a careful search
revealed that nothing excepting candy
and bananas had been taken. A door
to a back porch had been torn off,
trunks, dressers and cabinets search
ed and candle tlrippings spilled on the
rugs which also showed snow from the
boys shoes.
The culprits evidently told the truth
and two of them confessed to having
stolen seven gallons of moonshine
from local bootlegger some weeks
ago, selling it later to other parties.
One boy had stood watch on the
street, another at the door, while two
of them searched the house, they TOLD
the officers. While at first theil
stories did not jibe, the truth came out
at subsequent examinations.
1t was the first offense that two Of
the youngsters had been implicated il
while the two older boys, about IL anC
18 years, respectively, have been il
the custody of the officials before.
The officers are somewhat puzzled
as to just what means should be takel
to put stop to this kind of vandal
ism, of which there has been far to,
much at Scobey.

Great Falls, Feb. Putting the
federal prohibition department. en-
ployees under civil service regulations
and requiring operatives to pass ex-
aminations, has resulted in at least
six Montana agents, including Dan
Corcoran and Ed. Donovan of Great
Falls, being at least temporarily re-
moved from office, according to IN
formation received from Sam Roberts
deputy administrator of federal prohi-
bition enforcement operations in Mon
tana.
The removal of the agents, which
is effective today, is automatic as a
result of their failure TO pass the ini-
tial examination, it was said, the six
/ agents were granted rehearings and
examinations and the results of these
examinations have not been received
at the Montana prohibition enforce
ment department offices at Helena
Should the agents be found to have
passed the subsequent tests they will
in all probability, be reinstated.

WORTHLESSLAND TO
BE AVAILABLE FOR
HOMESTEAD ENTRY
About 5.075 Acres in RavaIh County
Will Be Open About February Is
But Official Issues Warning.

Missoula, Feb. 2.-Approximately
5075 acres of land in Ravalli county
is to be open for homestead or desert
land entry on or before Feb. Is, forest
officials say. The land is situated
five miles out of Florence and COM
prises a tract of 10 fractional sections
cut by three large and two small
creeks.
The land is practically worthless
from homesteader's point of view, it
is said. 1t rises abruptly from the
edge of tillable land in the Bitter Root
valley at the rate of between 5000
and 1000 feet to the mile. The creeks
running through the land have cut deep
gorges into it and judging by con-
tour map there is not a single site
where homestead might be taken up.
Meyer Wolf, chief of the office OF
forest lands says that the land has
always been open to squatters rights
and eligible to any claim but entry
could not be made to the interior de.
partment due to the fact that it haC
never been surveyed. Upon surveying
