Second Flood
This Summer
Arroyo Overflows And
Again mandates
Grand Ave.

For the second time within
three weeks, the River de No
gales (the NOgaIes sarrOyo) over
flowed about 4:3O o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon and again
flooded AmbOs NOgaleS.
: The flood this time was much
greater than that of Thursday July
80 which was the first time that the
arroyo had overflowed this sum-
mer. The volume of water sweep
ing through here Saturday was
probably even greater than that of
the big flood of August z, 1880,
when four persons were drowned.
The 1880 flood, however, occurred
at night and caught persons asleep
which was the main cause of the
loss of life.
Saturdays flood came about one
half hour after a heavy rain set
in. Shortly after the arroyo had
overflowed it's banks, waters swept
down Grand avenue and crept into
the city council chambers, the po-
lice station, Chamber of Commerce,
Puchi Brothers grocery, the Dodge
agency first door north of the No
gales International, the F. F. ROdi-
guez hardware store, Autoaide Serv-
ice Station, Detroit Radiator Works,
Nogales Transfer & Fuel Company,
Carter Motors, Nogales Tourist
Camp, and other places. At the
bridge in front of the Methodist
church it was several feet deep.
Several homes and furniture
store were swept away in Nogales,
Sonora.
The flood came within one halt
inch of entering the front door OF
the Nogales international. In the
rear of The international three
foot wall erected six week ago, kept
the flood out and prevented heavy

Births During
June Exceed
Deaths By 282

Phoenix, Aug. 18-Births in Ari-
IONA during June exceeded deaths
by 282, the state board Of health
announced yesterday. Seven hun
dred eighty-five births were report
ed during the month, compared
with SOB deaths.
The record showed ia of the
deaths we're of infants under one
year of age, representing 22.6 per
cent of the total Infant mortal
ity was the highest for some time.
The average for several years has
been less than 10 per cent.
The infant mortality increase is
one of the problems confronting
the state board of health, it was
said. The cause is attributed larg-
ly to to improper medical supervi-
sion. It is believed that with
constantly expanding public health
work, this percentage will be re-
duced.
OF the babies born during June,
419 were boys and 366 were girls.
There were 10 pairs of twins. The
counties reporting twins were Co
chise, two pairs; Gila, three;
Graham, one; Maricopa, two; Ma
vajo, one, and Pina1 one.
The parents of 399 of the babies
were whites, while parents of 256
of the bah es were Mexicans. There
were 81 babies born of Indian par
ents, IA babies of parents of other
races including the colored; and 18

New Role OF u. S. Vindicates
Wilson Policies, Says Senator

The new role played by the United
States in the European financial
crisis vindicates the predictions Of
woodrow Wilson that this nation
must take it's place as a world
leader, Senator Duncan Fletcher,
Democrat, Florida, told the United
Press today.
1t is inevitable national destiny
that the United States with it's huge
world investments and trade in
terests should take the initiative in
measures to prevent economic col
lapse, Fletcher said.
1--WE are so closely connected
with other world financial markets,
and we are such large creditors to
other governments, that we cannot
escape the serious effects Of any
financial crisis abroad European
governments alone use $12,000,000,-
600 and private foreign organiza-
tions owe us $4,000, 100000.
Financial interests are SO inter
locked today that when collapse
comes in one country it affects the
others. We cannot escape this. 1t
is national destiny. It IS just what
Woodrow Wilson predicted would
happen. He said we would have to
cooperate and we seem to be NOV
ing in that direction"
Fletcher has served 23 years in
the senate. He has been chairman
Of the committee on commerce. At
present he is rank. .ng Democrat on
both the committee on commerce
and the banking and currency COM

Game Licenses

PHOENIX, Aug. 18-Disapproval
of the policy of issuing compliment
ary licenses by the state game de-
partment was given yesterday by
Gov. George w. P. Hunt in state
ment concerning an audit of the
books of the department made by
w. w. Brookner, state examiner.
The audit showed 265 compliment
ary licenses had been issued in 1881.
Of that number 1856 were given to
Arizona pioneers.
In issuing his statement, the gov
ernor declared the practice is con-
trary to the laws Of the state, and
that no legal authorization is given
to either the game warden or the
game commission for such proceed
ure. He also stated the compliment
tary licenses deprive the state OF
revenue, and that the practice is
discriminatory to citizens who must
pay.
Where Issued
The statement of the governor
pointed out that a large number of
complimentary Licenses were issued
to state officials and to persons
holding high salaried positions in
the state highway department. The
report shows that out of % class
"A" licenses issued, more than half
of them were to highway depart
ment employees.
John B. Sloane, former member
of the game commission, sad yes
terday that the licenses issued to
the highway department employees
were in return for map work done
by them for the commission, for
which no charge was made. The
maps detailed the game refugees Of

DEMAND POWER
LINE PERMITS

The Federal Power Commission
announced yesterday it would no
longer be forced into the position
of considering with little or no
discretionary power, the issue of
Federal licenses for transmission
lines, which prior to application
had been constructed on public
lands.
The commission said that in
the early years of its activity it
necessarily issued licenses for
many transmission lines already
in operation across the public
lands. The commission stated:
"The practice of taking pos
session of publicly owned lands
and some years later asking per-
mission for this occupancy has
become so much of a habit that
even now with the water power
act nearly IL years old, the
practice persists"
The commission said that dis
regard of the statute was bad
both in principle and in practice
and will now demand strict COM
pliance with the law in the mat
ter of obtaining license before the
construction of any transmission
line.
