floods TAKE
HEAVY TOLL
Of CHIMES
BY JOHN r. MORRIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1885, By United Press
SHANGHAI. July l3. - China's
two great rivers were flooding to
the disaster level today as they
raced through gorges or flowed
through the great open plains to
the sea.
Thousands Of square miles were
flooded. The two great rivers and
their many tributaries, flowing
across the whole breadth of China,
approached at many places, and
exceeded at some the levels of the
devastating floods of 1881.
In the north, the Hwang Ho, or
Yellow river, and in the south OF
Yangtze, river of golden sand, lap
ped each hour newly inundated
soil, and pressed with terrific force
against dikes.
Estimates of deaths were unre-
liable. 1t was indicated that the
death list would prove large even
if the flood subsidized at once. 1t
was known that 1000 people
drowned in their sleep last Mon
Gay night at Yenshih, in Western
Honan province, when a tributary
Of the Hwang Ho broke its banks.
Many river bank cities were
flooded or partly flooded. At Han
kow, on the Yangtze, and other
large cities the people watched an
xously the inexorably rising wat
ers.
Thousands Of coolies Iabored in
relays to preserve the dikes and re-
pair the many breaks.
The government has appropri-
ated 100000 yen 100000 for
prevention and relief work. Off
cials here expressed hope that the
dikes, stronger than they were at
the time of the 1881 floods, would
hold

The interior ministry announced
that certain preventive measures
had been taken. 1t was widely re-
ported and believed that the meas
ures included preventive arrests OF
Fascists ano left wing adherentS
all over the country. But the Unit
ed Press was assured in the high

HEARINGS On
STATE BILLS
Terminated

SACRAMENTO. July 13 up
Armed with oppoSlne arguments on
9 score Of controversial measures.
Gov. Frank r Merriam today had
concluded a series of hearings on
bills passed by the legislature and
still awaiting executive action.
While a few other hearings prob
ably Will be held, there will be no
extended series next week. The bill
signing period ends at midnight.
July 20. at which time measures
not signed are automatically vetoed.
Attacks by representatives of MT
Iopolitan areas against a bill which
would repeal the law permitting
local taxation Of intangible proper
ty such as stocks and bonds fea-
tured the close Of the final hearing
Of the week.
Approval of the repeal bill was
asked by Senator Edgar Stow. San
ia Barbara. as a means OF balanc-
ing similar levies included in the
new state income tax law.
Robert Clark and w. H. Neal, as
sistant Los Angeles city attorney.
said the measure would cost Los
Angeles S1.3000O0 a year and that
this burden would have to be as
sumed by real property already
heavily taxed.
Governor Merriam suggested that
Los Angeles might be able to alb
sorb the loss inaSmuch as $50 1000
had been added to its tax rolls by
transfer of utility power from the
state to local tax lists.
Senator Stow pointed out that Or
iginal opposition had been against
the repeal o. the tax on solvent
credits such as bank accounts and
that this provision had been re-
moved from the measure.
Hearing on Dog Racing
During the hearing the governor
pointed out that he had agreed to
accept whatever tax program the
legislature finally decided upon,
Prior to this discussion, a dele
cation headed by Assemblyman
Clifford Kallam, Watsonville, urged
approval of a bill to legalize grey
hound racing similar to regulation
of horse racing, including pari-mu-
tuel betting.
J. E. White. representing the San
Francisco Church Federation, was
the only speaker opposed to the
dog racing bill which he attacked
as a measure to legalize gambling
rather than regulate dog racing.
Il realize that you can't legislate
morals. but the state should provide
by law an invironment in which
young people can grow up morally, :
White said. I'VE should not enlarge
opportunities for young people to
gamble"
Proponents estimated the bill
would net the state $lOO0,000 a
year, the money to be earmarked
Tor the old age security fund.

They say figures don't lie. May

Take for instance, the figures

Off those figures, you might
rate the big handler Of the Giants
one of the aces Of the season. AS
a matter of cold turkey, He's been
the best seven-inning thrower in

he has been shelled off the mound
and in several others he escaped
just in time to have some luckleSS
relief man take the rap for the
defeat.
For seven heats yesterday he
had the Reds eating out Of his
hand. Then he blew and it took
some nice tossing by Carl Hubbell,

hit in the clutch by Jackson to
bring the Giants home in front, 6

helped no little in keeping the
Giants three games ahead Of the
Cards who owed their 6-5 tri-
umph over the Braves to home
runs by Medwick and Rothrock
which more than offset Wally Ber-
gers twenty-sixth round trip ticket.
The Cubs we're idle, but the
pirates shut out the Dodgers, 2 to
0. Weaver and Zachary each gave
five hits but old Uncle Tommy was
unlucky enough to have two of his
hits coupled with a wild throw by
Lonny Frey.
The YankS drew up within six
games of the Tigers and even the
series at 2-gameS all by trimming
the WesternerS, 6-5. The YankS
drove Rowe to the showers and
the Tigers did as much for Allen,
but Gomez stopped them cold.
Detroit fans turned out 10000
