by posse in the mountains near

themselves behind rocks on a small
peak and fired upon the searchers.
None Hurt In Battle.
No one was hurt in the brisk gun
battle and the beleaguered fugitives sur
rendered when small body Of horse
men, upon whom they first had opened
fire, obtained reinforcements from the
main body of q posse OF which 1t was
the advance guard.
The chase started Monday night
when Deputy Sheriff Joe Chapman was
kidnapped from Florence, AriZ., as he at
tempted to arrest Mrs. Schroeder after
she had refused to produce ownership
papers for Kentucky car In which the
oficer found her.
Chapman was forced into the auto
mobile by the two men, whom he had
not seen when he approached the
woman. The car sped away to Chand-
Ter, Ariz, where Deputy Sheriff Lee
Wright was shot as he and other ofi-
GERS attempted to halt 1t. Chapman.

leaden slugs from low peak of the
barren Ostrella Mountains sent them
scurrying to cover.
The peak was surrounded amid ex-
change of more than 100 shots, but the

attack could be executed. They were
brought out of the mountains, hand
cuffed, behind deputies saddles.
Dague said the three abandoned their
automobile and fed to the mountains
when motor cars Of pursuers were
sighted approaching from several di-

Premier Perturbed Because
No Changes Have Been
Made in Demands.
BATTLESHIP ABOLITION
URGED BY LABOR PARTY
S. S. George Washington, Facing
Storm, Speeded Up at Prime
Minister'S Request.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY Radio to The Star. and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1880.
LONDON. England, January 15.-The
dramatic dash of the liner George
Washington, Bearing the American del
egation to the London Naval Confer
ence, is due to Prime Minister Macdon-
aids feeling that he needs urgently the
support of Secretary of State Henry l..
Stimson and Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow in his position in negotiating
with the japanese delegation. The
ship has been speeded up so as to
reach England before it was sched-
uled.
Mr. Macdonald is perturbed because
the japanese have altered none of the
demands made before they left TOXIC.
This, plus the apparent irreconcilabh-
ity of the French and italian positions,
worries the prime minister.
A group of 80 leading Labor party
members of Parliament, including At
torney General William A. Jowitt ana
several undersecretaries, issued mani
festo this morning urging that the Brit
ish delegation at the conference insist
on the abolition of battleships MT.
Macdonald considers this peremptory
order from his own party.

COLD WEATHER is AID.
Flood Situation in Lower Mississippi
Valley Is Improved.

Flood Situation in Lower Mississippi
Valley Is Improved.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, January Is up.
Colder weather and clear skies to-
day made for an improved situation
In the Lower Mississippi Valley, har-
assed by inundated lowlands and high
stages of interior streams tributary to
the Mississippi, but caused no let-up in
fights being waged to save levees on
half a dozen fronts.
One minor levee break was reported
today. Near Bateman, Ark, the White
River forced its way through the en-
bankment at q point where a crevasse
occurred during the floods of 1927 and
1928. The levee where the breaks oc-
CURED in those years had not been
rebuilt to standard strength and gave
way under the pressure Of the water
coming down the stream. The break
was reported as small and will inundate
only a comparatively small area.
On the west of the Mississippi River
dividing line the most troublesome sit
uations reported today were along Big
Lake, in Northeastern Arkansas, and
on the st. Francis River, near the
town of Holcomb, in Dunklin County
Mo. Responding to a rush order, TO-
600 sacks were shipped today to Big
Lake, where Sandbagging Is being re-
sorted to to prevent the water tapping
over the top Of the levee in several
low places. Near Holcomb levee work
ers are working in night and day
shifts to prevent a threatened break
at a point in the main st. Francis
River levee which gave way in 1927.
The upper st. Francis River was
reported falling today at Kennett, Mo-
and at st. Francis, Ark. The river
fell three-tenths of foot overnight
At Kennett the temperature dropped
last night to Is degrees above zero
and considerable of the surface waite,
left by a week of rain was frozen. An.
other rise in the St. Francis is looked
for, however, as result Of rains early
this week.
At Marked Tree, Ark, the st. Fran.
els today showed stage of Ill feet
one-tenth above flood stage. Levet
engineers believe the levees about
Marked Tree can Withstand rise Of
several more feet.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 15-A de-
tachment Of the Indiana National
Guard today was assigned 20 guard ap-
proaches to the Hazleton Bridge across
White River on United States Highway
Al when threats were made to dynamite
the approaches in order 70 alleviate
flood conditions in Knox and Pike
Counties.
rs Men Guard Fill.
Lieut.. Col Edwin Z. Nicholas, acting
at the request of John :. Brown, d.
rector OF the Indiana Highway Com
mission, ordered officers and IS en-
listed men of Battery D, 139th Field
Artillery, to guard the Hazleton fill.
The detachment will be in command of
Capt. Norman A. Hart of Princeton.
The Hazleton Bridge is an important
structure on the highway, which is a
paved road leading from Chicago into
Southern States. A fill three miles
long was constructed to provide an ap-
proach to the bridge.
Residents further up stream have de-
clared that the Hazleton I'LL was hold
ing back flood waters of White River,
thus causing the threatened inundation
of thousands of acres of land.
The Wabash and White Rivers are
still being fed by the high waters from
their tributaries, and these two streams,
which have been above food stage for
several days, are expected to rise to
still higher marks.
Residents Move to Safety.
Residents along the rivers, having
been given ample warning, have moved
to points of safety, and there is no
danger Of loss of life. The material
damage may be heavy. Thousands of
acres of lowlands have been inundated
and corn crops which had not been
gathered have been swept away. Sew
eral State highways have been under
mined and damage caused that will re-
Quire thousands OF dollars to repair.
