This is the first general campaign against, over loading of buses undertaken by the department, although operators have been warned that the state laws concerning this violation will be strictly enforced. A conference was held during the past winter be- tween Stoeckel and representatives of all large companies operating through Connecticut at which the departments program was outlined and bus operators agreed to comply with the law and make every effort to cooperate with the department for the safe operation of busses.

PAUL REVERE IN MODERN RACE TO
 WARN CITIZENS

Blythe, Cal, June 1-(UP)-w. A. Frost raced through Palo Verde valley to-day in a speeding auto- mobile, warning fellow ranchers that Colorado river flood waters were pouring through an 1S-foot levee break. The rancher's shrill automobile trumpet signalled 1000 families in the southern end of the valley that they should flee for their lives.
 Reused by the rancher's alarm, a weary army of 500 person strag- gled into this town from isolated farms and ranches. Three lives were lost in flood waters across the Arizona line but little fear was felt here for human life. Though 100 men struggled to place sand bags about the break in the levee it was half again as wide as when discovered after seven hours des- perate work.

Overlooking, carrying aisle seats. illegal registration and several oth- CT complaints brought 49 busses owned by nine interstate bus com panies into a net spread by the State Department of Motor Vehi- cles in a campaign against viola- tions of the state law by bus opera tors over the holiday. In addition complaints of speeding in the northeastern portion of the state by several busses were brought by state police.
 Included in the complaints was one against the owner of one or the two Bridgeport busses whose registrations were revoked last week because of operation with de- fective equipment, which according to the department, was found op- eratian over the holiday with New York registration plates.
 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel has written to the companies operating the busses asking for an explanation of the violations in view of the pledge of operators to obey. state laws. The department Is determined that the travelling public be protected dur inK holiday rush periods and that adequate preparations to care for the additional traffic be made by operating companies. MT Stoeckel indicated.
 Twelve inspectors under the di- rection of Inspector William H. Cunningham spent each night over the holiday checking up on busses at terminal points. Buses carrying an overload were halted until the ex- tra passengers were removed and the company made arrangements to transport the excess passengers in a legal manner. The inspectors found that the Greyhound Lines, against which complaint had pre- viously been made was the only one of the larger operators to remain within the law and no violations by the company's busses was reported, according to the department.
 Twenty-four cases of overlooking were found by the inspectors IS busses were found with aisle seats in violation of the law, two busses of defective equipemnt, two operators without a public service operators licenSe and two busses with no Con- necticut registration were reported, as we'll as the Connecticut but op- erated under alleged illegal regis- tration.
 Aisle seats included kitchen chair, soda fountain seats and var- iouS other make-shifts to accom- modate passengers. Practically every bus in Boston-New York service was checked by the inspec- tors over the holiday, a total of sev- eral hundred busses.
 One company was found using livery markers in interstate traffic, 1t was reported Tuesday.

possibility OF a ministry handling such
crisis as the present with an ur-
friendly Legislature the House was

1nukai Is q Conservative.
Premier Inukai belongs to the Sci

gold standard, temporarily improving
business; extended the military occupa-

sive punishment Of the boycott at
Shanghai, voted about s14,O0O,O 900 ad-

China. and consequently goes before the
Japanese voters asking support as an

ued swiftly to move out of its quarters
and take up positions along the front.
The soldiers relieved the bluejackets
who have patrolled the area between
Chapel and Woosung since the hostili-
ties began. They occupied other posi-
tions, too so that the bluejackets were
left with only half-mile sector along
the boundary between Chapel and the
International Settlement.
Units of Japanese artillery, cavalry
and infantry moved out of the concen-
tration camp into the Yangtsepoo dis
t,ict and fleet Of tanks also was taken
forward and assembled on the outer
edge of the Hongkew area.
Meanwhile the japanese air fleet at
the Yangtsepoo airdrome continued to
grow Trucks poured into the field in
a steady stream, bringing knocked
down planes from the ships.
Mechanics worked busily assembling
these planes as fast as they were
brought In.
The auxiliary airport, near the main
field, was completed.
Outside the Japanese Army head
quarters on the edge Of the Interna-
tional Settlement three field guns were
set up to safeguard against a Chinese
artillery bombardment. These guns
were pointed toward the Chinese area
at Kiangwan.
In the midst Of the peace negotia-
tions an important Japanese CONNER
cial institution in the heart of the
International Settlement was wrecked
by bomb. The bomb exploded at the
entrance to the Offices of Mitsui Bus

Shanghai bund. The blast tore away
the entrance to the building and Jared
the whole crowded business district.
The explosion occurred shortly after
8 am. before the building was fully
occupied and before the Jam of Office
workers arrived In the district. Thirty
five japanese employees were in the
building at the time, put they were
on upper floors and although badly
shaken none Of them was nurt.
Police rushed to the scene and
