ing of a permit for diversion of
177,O00 acre feet of water from the
Rio Grande river annually for ir-
rigation of $4,000 acres of Hidalgo

posed the permit unless storage is

It is said unofficially that if the
permit dates back to the taking out

ROCKY MOUNT, N. c., July 10.
-(P)-From 40 to 60 persons were
injured, some seriously, when five
cars on fast northbound train No.
"a on the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road were derailed two miles north
of Enfield, N. c., today.
Five persons said to be seriously
injured were brought to the At
lantic Coast Line hospital here and
hospital authorities said at noon
they were preparing for more.
l.. w. RanSone, grocer at En-
field, said approximately 60 injured
persons were taken from the wreck
but none was dead. Two women
were most seriously injured.
Most of the injured were being
taken to Rocky Mount hospitals,
he said.
The wreck occurred on a sharp
curve near the city limits of En-
field. Five Pullman cars went
into the swamp" Ransome said.
The wreck, trainmen said, was
due TO sun k1nk In the rails.
The first five cars passed the bad
spot. The rear end of the dining
car and four Pullmans left the
rails and after being dragged over
the ties about rs yards turned over
into RuffleS swamp.
Engineer T. r. Petit said the
train was travelling at a speed of
about 55 miles an hour. The track
had kinked due to the fact that
a cool night last night was follow
ed by hot day.
The wreck tore down all teIe-
gaph and telephone lines Of the
railroad company and the dis
patcher's office here was unable to
get information direct from the
scene. The railroad is double
tracked at this point. The wreck
did not block the south bound
track and traffic continued without
interruption.

LONDON, July 10.-(P1-The Ad-

position Of the sunken submarine
HAT had been buoyed, but bad
weather had forced the salvage
fleet to withdraw temporarily to
the shelter of Milford Haven.
PEMBROKE, Wales, July 10.-(P)
The British submarine L-69 today
dived in the vicinity of the stricken
HAT and tried to communicate with
the 81 men trapped within her, but
without avail.
The L-69 tried to communicate
with the HAT by sound telegraphy,
using a bell with Morse code, but
there have been no answering sig
mails.
Diver Bell, reputed to be the most
experienced in the navy, was taken
from the cruiser Renown and
equipped with a special German
diving suit in which he will try to
locate the missing men.
It was considered doubtful, how
ever, that he would be able to des-
cend to the $50 feet depth in which
the HAT lies.
