Over Rio Grande

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Aug. 27.
-QIPAConditions reminiscent OF
Civil War days are taxing vigil
ance of officials on the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande as re-
suit of attempts to smuggle Texas
grown cotton into Mexico.

vicinity of Matamoros are receiy-
ing eight cents a pound for cot
ton as compared to five cents be-
ing paid generally on the Texas
side of the Rio Grande. Several
cargoes of staple have been inter

The situation recalls to settlers

tity of United States grown cot
ton was smuggled into Mexico to
escape the Federal blockade.
The higher price is paid the
Mexican growers because of that
governments extensive campaign
to encourage the manufacturing OF
cotton cloth.

COLORADO PLAYS
OLD TRICK UPON
WORKERS AT DAM

LAS VEGAS, New, Sept. l. U.R)-
Newly poured concrete in three
huge diversion tunnels of the Hoov-
er dam project on the Colorado riv-
er was submerged and possibly
damaged by an unexpected flood
which swept down the stream yes
terday and today.
Cloudbursts in Utah were believed
responsible for the increasing flow
of water, which reached a peak of
So, 900 cubic feet a second. A flood
was sent into the tunnels which
when completed will divert the
stream while the dam is built.
Dikes which protected the tun-
nels from seasonal high water were
blasted out some time ago in belief
that danger was past. Employees
hastily threw up earthwork barriers
to stem the flow over the soft con-
crete, and additional pumps were
installed in an effort to lower the
water level.
The peak of the flood was be-
lieved past, and check Of damage
was to be made today.
A big river is anticipated along
the Colorado tomorrow on account
of floods reported along the upper
reaches, according to Imperial Ir-
rigation district officials.
Difficulties at Hoover damsite
caused by unexpected high water
at this season led district officials
to prepare for an increase at
Yuma.

partly obscured sky probably would
make results unsatisfactory.
This expedition calculated that
the moon began its rendezvous with
the sun a few seconds later than
predicted and left one second early.
However Disappointing or fruitful
the eclipse might have been from
a scientific standpoint, the five
million who watched it in New Eng
land were well satisfied with it as
a spectacle.
Clouds in some sections created
q dramatic suspense while the two
celestial actors moved behind them
and added to the greenish pallor
of the corona a brilliantly sulphur
Gus glow. This feature of the 1882
eclipse had never been witnessed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. /. U.1-
DEVELOPMENT of aerial pictures OF
the lunar eclipse was awaited with
interest by the National Geographic
society today. due to oddities noted
in the suns corona from an air
plane five miles above earth.
Capt. Albert w. Stevens Of the
society's New England eclipse eX-
pedition reported that when the
moon blackened out the suns disk
he saw a flaming corona extension
shooting into space, the equivalent
of the suns diameter, or $4,000
miles.
The "p1otuberance" shot out
from a point on the suns disk cor
responding to 1920 q. m. on the
face of a clock. Its color, he said,
was a rose tint" while smaller
outshoots were blush.
"The most remarkable aspect OF
the ground shadow, visibly, was the
appearance Of the far edge,
Stevens telephoned the society.
"The shadow as it approached the
horizon, had a saffron color"
He said when the visible sun be-
came crescent shaped, small aper-
lures in the planes fuselage, such
as nail holes, cast crescent shaped
images on the floor"
Fifteen minutes before the total
eclipse he looked down from the
plane. "A very distinct and un-
usual formation appeared" he said.
THE formation was perhaps half
way to the ground. 1t appeared to
be made up Of streamers Of light,
like long columns extending from
the clouds earthward.'
He believed they were caused by
sharp protective power of the sun,
due to its reduced area.

A reconmendatiop of the board of works that the ordinance cover- ing the water rates be amended so that in the future 1t will read $b, minimum rate for six months, in- stead of $10, minimum rate for the year, was received and referred to a committee for consideration.
 The works board reported the layouts of Fox street, Woodruff street, Pequot street, Morningside avenue, Maynard avenue and Idyl- wood avenue completed. This means that the layout and grade assessments can now be collected.
 Four claims for damages were referred to the committee on law. Two claims for chickens killed by stray dogs were referred to the chicken committee. Dr Solomon Weinberg asked for 9 light on Pennington avenue, The matter was referred to the works board. Twenty-Five petitions for the abatement and postponement of taxes were referred to the commit tee on abatements.

Taxes. .totaling $2.S99 were order- ed abated last night at the regular meeting of the board of aldermen. In addition the postponement of collection of $12.770 in taxes was also voted. In practically all of the cases where abatements were granted, the reason was that the petitioners were too poor to pay. On the postponcments the petition CTS were listed as temporarily fin- sancially embarrassed.
 In all 33 petitions for abatement of taxes were granted while the number of postponements allowed was 86. In addition, 26 petitioners were given authority to withdraw their petitions for abatements and postponefn ents.
 The board also voted in three cases to abate interest and lien fees providing the petitioners pay the face of their tax bills within 30 days. In the case of Carmelo Mas triano the board of assessors re- commended the abatement of $5S in taxes on the 1928 list and $26 on the 1927 list. It. was. explanedsthat the petitioner was taxed for a five car garage while it is only a two7 car garage, thereby reducing the assessment from $1,000 to $200.
 The 1893 budget was presented to the aldermen last night. It was approved by the finance board last Thursday. The aldermen voted to study the budget for a week and meet to adopt it next Monday night. The 1883 budget calls for a tax rate of 325 mills, which is one and one half mills less than tbe current levy:

 FOR THE NEEDY
OppOrtune Time to Have Old Clothing Serve
 Good Purpose
GIVE SOMETHING

People should not think that be- causa clothing has been discarded for long time, 1t is of no use to anybody. Thisk is not SO. Most of these articles can be mended and made usable. There are fam- flies glad to get fhcm. If you know somebody in your neighbor- hood who is in need of such things. soc that he gets them, and if there Is no such persons within your knowledge send them to one of the societies who has Q general knowi- edge of conditions In all parts of the city.
 The need of assistance at this time is greater than some believe. This is especially true of clothing. and everybody who has something to spare should pass 1t along to less fortunate fellow beings. There is more than enough clothes and shoes tucked away in homes of families who never will use them to meet every need. Gather them up and give them to somebody as Ian offering on behalf of departed souls, remembering that the words of the Master about the cup of cold water given in his name holds good forever.
