received word early Tuesday morn
Ing that the San juan River,
treacherous stream with its origin
In the mountains near Monterrey
was again on a rampage. His in
formation was that there had been
heavy rains or the dangerous water
shed Of that region, precipitating
a new rise. Reports received in
Matamoros from Aldamas, Nueva
Leon, and Camargo, lamps, both
stations on the San Juan, said that
the river readings at both points
was five meters above normal.
Another serious break vas re-
ported late Tuesday morning at
Palangana across the Rio Grande
on the Mexican side from San
Benito. The river at this point was
the fresh break.
Reports from j. L. Lytel, project
engineer Of the International Bound
airy commission Of San Benito,
revealed that at Hidalgo the read
Ing taken at 8 a. m. Tuesday morn
Ing was lit feet, while a meter
measurement showed 1900 second
feet Of water. At Mercedes the
reading was l7.3 feet and all along
the river we're indications OF fall
ing flood stages. Weather Bureau
bulletin here gave Brownsville river
reading Of 1911. which was listed as
stationary compared 70 the reading
at 8 a. m. Monday morning. The
river vas also stationary at Laredo.
psspite the apparent passage OF
tfe danger stage, precautions along
the levees on the American side
wasre taken Monday night though
no trouble was experienced. II was
pointed out that practically all
readings were below those taken
Monday at the same time.
To Fall Slowly
At Monterrey the flood gauge
reading was reported very low.
Slight rains were also falling around
the Mexican city but there vas not
a sufficient amount, 1t was believed,
to cause the Valley any fears con-
corning a rise in the dangerous
San Juan. This stream, bringing
rain waters from the mountains OF
the Monterrey region, into the RIO
Grande at times has proven itself
as a dangerous menace to the Val
ley.
Rains continued to fall through
cut the Valley. especially in San
Benito and Harlingen. with light
showers falling on Brownsville. The
weather Bureau predicted nae
cloudy weather for Brownsville and
the valley with continued occasional
local showers. Light rains were re-
ported for the last 24-hour period
at practically all points along the
Rio 0rande.
River bulletin Of the Weather
Bureau Tuesday morning predicted
thai the river would fall slowly at
and below Brownsville during the
next u to 36 hours, probably tan-
inr at Mercedes also during the
next II to "a hours. From Laredo
~ Hidalgo the river will probably
rise again during the next few
DAYS, due to moderate heavy gen.
eral rains.

at 1907 p. m. yesterday and called
Sen. John H. Bankhead of Ala

The uncle of Miss Tallulah

ing from a cold, and had equipped
himself with a box of throat To-
zenges to do his bit in this attempt
to talk the anti-lynching bill to
death.
Yesterday was the sixth day of
the filibuster. In no other legisla-

take place the strange spectacle
that has been going on in the Unit

The senate's rule of unlimited
debate makes it possible for a little
knot of a dozen southern senators
to delay. legislation simply by talk
ing in relays. Senator Hugo Black
of Alabama. and Senator James

six hours between them yester-

The anti-lynching bill was intro
