Flood Control Plan

Reconsideration of the S325,-
100000 Mississippi River flood
control plan adopted by Congress
after the disastrous flood Of 1927,
was begun by the House flood
control committee today.
With part of the work on the
great project suspended it Is
feared that the whole plan may
be disrupted by court decisions.
After adopting a policy Of lay
Ing out floodWays in the lower
Mississippi River Valley, into
which water would be turned
only during times of flood, a Fed
eral court decision requiring the
Government to buy floWage
rights was handed down.
Although the Government ap-
pealed the case, President Hoover
suspended work in that area and
opponents of the present policy
are demanding reconsideration by
congress.
Estimates have been made that
acquisition of floWage rights
would boost the cost of the
1925 100000 plan more than $780,

would at the idea of marking child
before birth. David Kenny had come
into the world SCARED in mind and
SCARED in body by his mothers tragic
experience. For with the first look at
the bottle-Shaped mark suspicion had
crystallized into certainty. There could
be no doubt but that the woman lying
under the monument of rock was
David's mother. Ann longed to 60 to
him, to put her arms about him and
offer words of comfort and consolation.
1t was the appearance of Seth Toby
followed by queue Of men which de-
TERED her.
There was a moment of silence while
the tragedy in the tunnel spoke for
itself. Then Toby, coming forward,
stopped and touched the motionless
hand.
Dead" he said quietly. "Been dead
some time" With a backward jerk of
his head he indicated the kneeling
Cranson; and one of the men he had
brought with Inn from Danbury STEP

There was a flash Of steel, O click;
and the veterinary found himself hand
CURED. oddly enough, he made no
protest, nor did he wait to be dragged
to his feet. Rising with the benunnbed
expression of one suddenly aroused from
sleep, he went with his captor, away
through the tunnel.
One or two of the men cleared their
Threats and turned to follow; but
David interviewed.

pointed to the pile of earth, This woman

Toby shook his head.

to the girl, still standing to one side
where David had left her, "looks as
though she ought to be in~b bed. And
you're in need Of attention yourself
Your shoulders are pretty badly
burned"
For the first time the giant was
conscious Of his smarting shoulders;
but he shrugged them indifferently
and held out his hand to Annassa.
Meanwhile, Willie Prentice, left to
guard the space between the twin oaks,
had not missed his share Of the nights

Once the awe-inspiring presence of
the giant had been removed. wrath,
all the hotter because 1t was self-right-

moment. No sooner had this decision
been reached than the sound of voices
and the crashing of feet through under
brush made 1t clear that the men from
Hales Crossing had arrived.
To a man of honor there could be
no course open but TO go back to the
twining roots of the oaks. which Willie
did. He even stretched his arms across
the opening they made, in a puny
gesture of defiance. The automatic was
forgotten, but it would have made nc

pencil were never meant to pull q

a lantern. Behind him were other men

never swerving In his determination 70
find the passageway through which his
bride had been taken from him. Now,
with the goal in sight, with every pros
pect of success awaiting him, this great
bully of farm hand had swooped
down and appropriated the tunnel for
his own uses What was more aggra-
waiting still, Willie himself had been
appropriated. Here he was, ordered to
play Horatius at the tunnels mouth
while a girl of whom he knew nothing
and cared less was being rescued as
though she were the only female In
the world to be considered. It was
unfair-monstrausly unfair!
With grievance piling upon grievance,
Willie TANNED the automatic into his
trousers pocket and buttoned his coat
across his nerrow chest. Let the mob
come! Let them hang David to the
nearest tree! Let AnnasSa West be

was to Claudia. He would keep on
searching until he had found her!

Of Great Britain IN washington, having
been here for seven years. In October,
on the eve Of the presidential election
President Cleveland was O candidate
for second term-Sir Lionel received
letter from one G. r. Murchison. who,
representing himself as an Englishmall
naturalized In the United States, asked
for which party he should vote in the
ensuing election. The Minister, not
suspecting that the letter was trap
set for the embarrassment of himself
and Of the Democratic party, replied
advising his correspondent to vote the
Democratic ticket as most favorable 10
English interests. The correspondence
was discovered" and published and the
administration at once asked for the
recall Of the Minister. Prompt response
not being forthcoming from London,
the Department Of State sent passports
to Minister Sackville- on the 30th
Of October, and he thereupon departed
from this country.

there be, is by no means as grave as

by unfavorable construction that the

sidered as an intrusion upon American

Los Angeles Lauded
In Getting Use of Dam

from the Chicago Tribune.
With 81 per cent Of the power to be
developed in the Colorado River project
going to Los Angeles, Southern Califor-
ma has good reason to congratulate
Itself on its business energy In putting
across the Boulder Dam plan. Thirsty
Los Angeles will get not only water but
energy from the Federal project, and
as the contracts are permanent, it Is
not unnatural that Arizona, not yet
ready to use the power, protests its per-
manent exclusion from the right to use
much Of 1t. If the Colorado River de-
velopment will give population and
prosperity to regions now untenanted,
1t will Of course have valuable results
for the Nation as q whole. II 1t de-
pr1ves these now empty regions Of an
opportunity for future use of this power
in order to serve urban regions already
highly developed, its advantages as a
pioneering, Federally supported project
are considerably less.
Los Angeles, In any case, may shake
hands with Southern California: they
may mutually deliver congratulations
for their ability to secure water and
power from this source largely at other
peoples expense. It Is clever business,
and Chicago and Illinois might well
wish for public men OF the same shrewd-
ness. A $4,000, 900 lock and canal prof.
ect In Illinois, Of UNREASONABLE value
not only to this State but to most Of the
States OF the Union, hangs IRE through
the years, while California wins the
$162, 100000 Boulder Dam. Illinois
should consider importing some Con-
gressmen from California.

A Diplomatic Slip.

Ia the course Of a radio address on
Sunday evening in an international
goodwill program Of broadcasts," Mr..
Marc Peter, the Minister of Switzerland
ut this Capital, after pointing out that
the manufacturing and the export Of
manufactured goods constitute the chief
source Of Swiss national income, said:
Whereas Of all these manufactured
products, which represent four-fifths Of
our exports, we ship an important guam
ttty to the United States, wherefrom in
return we purchase a great portion and
for a greater amount the raw mate
rials which we lack, and also manufac-
tured goods which we need, as, for in
stance, soil products, machines for agri-
culture, automobiles, ETC., 1t is not with
out concern that they heard, in Switzer-
land, Of the new American tariff with
high and almost prohibitive duties,
which threatens to impair the economic
relations Of our two countries. Because
It Is not always possible to- buy where
one cannot sell!
This statement has been criticized in
Congress as an infraction Of the rule in
diplomacy that representatives Of for
eign nations must not discuss the in
ternal policies or politics Of the coun-
tries to which they are accredited. The
Minister Of Switzerland was address
ing an American audience Of great size
BY radio. The tariff bill to which he re-
ferred Was pending In Congress. The
passage which has been quoted may
not have been so intended, but is suscep-
tible Of being construed as an appeal
however belated and ineffective, to the
American people from the impending
congressional decision.
The tariff has played q part in these
matters before. In 1883 Sir Lione
