ARKANSAS FLOODS
TAKE HEAVY TOLL
II Known Dead, Many Hurt
and 5000 Homeless From
High Waters and Winds.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May l9.-One
section Of Arkansas was overrun with
flood waters today, with an estimated
5000 persons homeless and heavy prop
erty damage, and another section was
recovering from a tornado which killed
at least II colored people and injured
a hundred or more.
Flood waters spread over an area of
SO square miles in the South Arkansas
oil fields, inundating many oil field
camps and three or four small towns.
The Red River Bottoms Of Southwest
Arkansas rapidly were being submerged
as hundreds of residents evacuated.
A tornado early yesterday struck the
village of Elaine and large plantation
in Phillips County, adjacent to the
Mississippi River, killing II, injuring
a hundred and creating missing list Of
six others.
A million dollars worth of damage to
the oil industry was estimated by Stand
ard Oil Co. of Louisiana officials to
have resulted from the overflow of
Smackover Creek. The high water sent
the Red Cross and National Guard
troops into the area with medical sup
plies, tents, cots and blankets to care
for the homeless.
Refugee camps were established at
Smackover, 10 miles north Of Eldorado.
While Red Cross officials grappled
with the situation at Smackover, the
swirling waters of Red River further
west reached the top Of levees and fur
Their rises were anticipated.
The high water disrupted highway
trafflc generally over the State and in
terrupted rail trafic in South Arkansas.
In addition to the Red River and
Smackover Greek, the Ouachita River
was overlooking lowlands, with much
higher stages predicted for Camden and
Arkadelphia.
The tornado at Elaine and vicinity
demolished tenant houses on the plan
tation Of G. B. Lambert Of st. Louis.
Most of the houses situated near q
levee protecting the plantation from
the Mississippi River were swept into
an adjacent swamp, and with them the
bodies of several victims.
The men who escaped said they were
playing cards when the tornado ap-
peared. They said the storm lifted the
house from over their heads, leaving
them seated at their card table. After
they fed the floor and table were swept
into the swamp by a second part OF
the tornado.

C0NFEREES GIVEN
DISTRICT FUND BILL
Garner Says IS Per Cent of
House Democrats Oppose
100000 Lump Sum.

The House today sent the District
appropriation bill to conference and
named the entire subcommittee as con-
ferees. The members are Representa-
tives Simmons, Nebraska: Holiday, uli-
nois; Thatcher, Kentucky; Cannon, Mo-,
and Collins, Miss.
When Chairman Simmons made the
motion in the House today, Minority
Leader Garner insisted that rs per
cent of the membership on the Demo-
cratic side is opposed to the Senate
amendment for increasing the Federal
contribution of 100000 and asked
that before the conferees conceded on
this amendment they should come back
for q vote in the House.
Representative Garner said: ct would
like to ask the disposition Of the con-
ferees with reference to the amendment
placed on by the Senate. increasing the
obligation Of the Government to sup
port the District of Columbia in excess
of 100000. From conversations with
the membership of the minority side
Of the House, 1t is my opinion that rs
per cent Of the membership on the
minority side is opposed to accepting
the Senate amendment. I am conser-
nearer 80 per cent of the membership
on the minority side. I would not be
disposed to permit this bill to go to
conference II the conferees did not
agree to the Senate amendment Until
the House has had an opportunity TO
express ITSELF"
Hou~a WIFI Not Wild
Representative Simmons replied that
his own views, which I think are
shared by the members Of the subcom-
mittee who will probably be named as
conferees," he said. There Is no dis
position on our part to yield to the
Senate on that proposition"
Representative Simmons then made O
brief statement to the House on the
effect Of the Senate bill, as follows:
THE Senate has accepted the proviSo
placed in the bill by the House that
taxes shall not be reduced in the Dis
trict of Columbia during the next fiscal
year; so that the proposal of the Sen
ate to increase the Federal contribution
from 100000 to $12,000,000 will have
no beneficial effect upon the taxpay-
ers' bill next year. That is out of the
question. The bill, as 1t passed the
House, carries an appropriation of $45,-
$4,000. The Senate reduced that to
$44,420,000. The net payments out of
general revenue. taking into consid-
Grafton the reduction on account of
water revenues and gas tax revenue. will

NATIONAL ASPECT
IS SEEN IN RACE Of
GRUNDY AND DAVIS
Involved Pennsylvania Con-
test May Affect Hoover
Administration.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-Pennsyl-
vania's primary election tomorrow,
aside from control of Republican State
politics, may have it bearing upon ma
tional Republican politics.
Victory for Senator Joseph r. Grun-
dy and q defeat for James j. Davis,
Secretary Of the Department of Labor in
the Hoover cabinet, in the senatorial
race, will be interpreted in some quar-
tiers as defeat for the administration.
Victory for Francis II. Bohlen, the wet
candidate for the Republican senatorial
nomination. would be declared blow ut
the Hoover administration, which has
been supporting the eighteenth amend
ment.
Both Senator Grundy and Secretary
Davis have kept away from q discus
sion Of the President, his policies and
his administration In their campaign
utterances, except that Mr.. Davis has
referred to his record as q member Of
the cabinet under the Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover administrations, and has also
taken his stand with the Hoover ad-
mlnlstraClon on the enforcement OF the
dry laws. Mr.. Grundy has refrained
entirely from discussing the policies of
the President. though he has made it
clear that he, too, plans to 20 along
with the administration on the prohibit
ton issue.
Wants Upward Revision.
It Is no secret, however, that Mr..
Grundy has not been satisfied with the
way the administration has dealt with
the tariff and its revision. The Junior
Senator from Pennsylvania believes that
the pending tariff bill does very little,
II anything, for the Pennsylvania in
dutries. His complaint-although he
has not voiced 1t openly-is that the
administration, which means the Presi-
dent, has not gotten behind the de-
mand for greater protective duties and
seen that they were carried In this bill.

CONFEREE LIBERTY
ON TARIFF LIKELY
Watson Predicts Debenture
and Flexible Amendments
to Be Adjusted.

BY the Associated Press.
Republican Leader Watson predicted
today that the Senate would give its
conferees a free hand to adjust the
differences over the debenture and
legislative flexible amendments to the
tariff bill and thereby pave the way for
a final vote on the measure.
The majority chieftain said defeat
Of the Republican regulars on either
Of the propositions would tie the hands
Of its conferees and kill the tariff bill.
He expressed confidence, however, that
the Smoot resolution to free the con-
ferees to work out a compromise with
the House managers would be approved
late today.
Democratic leaders were extremely
active in an effort to retain their ma
jorjties for the debenture and flexible
provision withdrawing presidential pow
er to change rates.

they carried the Norris debenture pro-
posal last October 10 by a vote OF a.
to 81, and the Simmons Norris legis-

With the life Of the tariff bill hang
ing in the balance, the Senate took up
the smoot resolution shortly after

cast.

ton, Senator Smoot, chairman of the

his resolution was defeated and the
House maintained It's position "a dead
lock necessarily arises and the future
Of the measure Is greatly impaired II

Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, asserted that If the Senate
conferees receded at any time on their
promise, there Is no doubt that the
essential provisions Of the House bill
would have been accepted"

Hoover Is Blamed.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, Ten

through the national headquarters Of
his party asserting that President Hoo
