FLOOD TOLL IN
TENNESSEE g
"a Lose Lives as Factory
Town Is Struck; Damage
S2,000,o00.
BD United Press

By United Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 25.-
Chaotic flood conditions in the
south were improved today with
the advent of warm, Sunshiny
weather, but sorrow fingered over
sections of Tennessee, where human
lives we're claimed Friday night by
raging torrents resulting from
cloudburSts.
Stopoing OF the almost unprece-
dented rains Of the past few weeks
was welcomed by the homeless LETT
by the receding waters, confined
most part to the states OF Alabama,
Tennessee, Florida and some few In
Georgia.
The death toll at Hartman, on
the Emery river in eastern Ten
nessee, is placed at twenty-four
persons, while the property loss
there was estimated at more than
$2,0o0,000.
Find Bodies of Seven Scouts
ONLY one of the towns major
plants escaped serious damage by
the food waters which ragged
through the streets to depth Oh
thirty feet early Saturday morn
ing. The Hartman hosiery mill
was said to have escaped heavy loss,
although five other plans were said
to be practically destroyed.
Find Bodies of Eight Scouts
The bodies of eight members OF
a Boy Scout troop swept away by
the waters of Whites creek near
lockwood, Tenn, had been recoV-
cred today. Four of the victims
we're found Sunday by a searching
party from lockwood and a group
of Boy Scouts from Chattanoga.
Reports from the Caney Fork
river country indicated that up
ward of 10000 persons he'd been
driven from their homes by floods
although no loss of life was said to
have occurred.
Nine power and storage dams o.
the Tennessee Electric Power Com
pany in that region are reported out
of commission and no lights avail
able anywhere along the river basin.
Train MaroOned
Heavy damage from floods IS re-
ported from Kentucky:
Coal mines in the Harlan area
have been closed: railroad and high
way bridges have been washed out
and landslides have covered several
roads.
The Carolina special, a Southern
Railway train, was still reported
marooned between two landslldes
near the Tennessee state line.
Mayor Gregory of BarbourvlHe
has appealed to Governor Sampson
for 1000 blankets, 400 cots and food
for the refugees in that area.

MEANWHILE, President Hoover
ANA is said to be having diff
Guilty in selecting the members of
his proposed law enforcement
commission of inquiry. He does
not intend that it shall be regard
ed as a body to investigate the
prohibition law alone, but cir
cumstances are making hard for
him to erase that impression
from the public mind. Extreme
vets and dry also are adding to
his troubles by insisting that the
commissions principal task shall
be a study of the operations of the
dry laws.
So far Hoover neither has con-
suited with nor asked the advice
of such dry organizations as the
Anti-Saloon League or the Board
of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals. On their part, DR..
F. Scott Mcbride and DR.. Clarence
True Wilson say they have COM
plete confidence in the President,
and are willing to let him assume
full responsibility for the project.
THOUGH they believe the per-
- sonnel should be sympathetic
toward prohibition, they deny
that they want dry extremists
only. But the suggestion of the
name of President A. Lawrence
Lowell of Harvard university as
a possible chairman drew criticism
from dry leaders because of his
recent attack on conditions re-
sulting from prohibition.
Hoover's chief trouble is said
to be that the type of men whose
decision would count with the
public are individuals of convic-
tion. Most of them. like Lowell,
have expressed their feeling to-
ward prohibition, or their views
are known. The same is true of
the dry side.
In explaining the purposes of
his new organization, Valance
pointed out that it would consider
prohibition from its legal rather
than its moral aspect.
Our airn,' said the state de-
partment official, includes en-
forcenent of all laws, including
the eighteenth amendment and
the laws Hereunder, and Presi-
dent Hoover's program opens
way for the legal profession to
build up the legal machinery so
that it can meet present-day
needs. New courts. new judges
and new district attorneys must
be provided; governmental ma
chinery must be reorganized to
function more efficiently.

operation and organized effort of
the best legal minds of the coun-
try. So land as we are a govern
nent of laws and not of men,
lawyers, in particular, who take an
oath to support the constitution
ard the laws OF the land, should
be glad of an opportunity to lend
their support to the Presidents
program"
An organization of 100000 mem
bers is contemplated. Charter
members of the proposed federal
j bar say that participants in the
Coudert committees activities
would not be eligible for member
ship.

COMMISSION is
DEADLOCKED ON
insult BONDS
Dissenting Members De-
clare Sale Price Too
Much Below Par.

The question of whether the In
sull-controlled Northern Indiana
Public Service Company shall be
permitted to sell a S15,500,000 bond
issue at 80 per cent of par, or a
higher figure has deadlocked the
public service commission, it was
learned today.
An order written by John Nc
Cardle, commission chairman, au-
thorizing the sale at SO per cent,
still is lying on his desk, with Com
missioner Howell Ellis concurring
and Commissioners Calvin McIn-
tosh and Jere West dissenting.
The fifth member of the commits
sion, Frank T. Singleton, is on a
vacation and no prospect is seen of
terminating the deadlock before his
return.
The S15.500,000 issue of ) per cent
first mortgage refunding gold bonds
is asked in order to pay for improve
ments that have been made on
money borrowed from the company'S
treasury and to be made during the
year. These improvements total
s13.640,0O0.
The $1.86O,OOO difference is that
amount which will be lost through
the sale of the bonds at SO per cent.
Dissenting commissioners declare
that the bonds should be sold for 80
per cent or better.
The original petition filed July
declared the bonds were to be sold
at 81 per cent, but was reduced be-
cause of fluctuating market"
Commissioner Mcintosh declared
the bonds should be sold at a higher
figure because the public will have
to pay, through increased rates, the
deficit which must be made up when
the bonds will be redeemed.
Mcintosh declared he believed the
profit to be made by Halsey, Stuart
& Co. is proportionately too large.
