INDIANA FLOODS
.INUNDATE ROADS
8 Highways Are Blocked
by Torrents as Rivers
Continue Rise.

The angry waters of White River
and Wabash River, fed by the heavy
rains of the last few days, today
continued their upward surges with
no sign of marked abatement. The
swollen rivers blocked eight state
highways and inundated much fer
tile lowland area.
The Wabash River stood at more
than three feet above flood stage at
Lafayette and nearly a foot above
at Covington. White River is eX-
pected to break over the flood level
at Anderson today. White River at
Elliston already is more than two
feet above the danger mark.
Heavy clouds hung over Indiana
today bearing with them the pre-
diction of the United States Wealth
err Bureau that more showers are to
come tonight and tomorrow. j. H.
Arlington, Federal meteorologist,
said that the rains would be light.
If the rains are heavy, Indiana
is faced with a serious situation, he
added.
Farmers and manufacturers 10

Coupled with the rains was a new

The kidnapped men returned here

The April 4 riot climaxed a long

evictions of a number of miners

of Cavite Province.
Constabulary headquarters here
said no reports Of the mobllizations
had been received, but admitted
belief that an attack on a truck
near Ipo, Bulacan province, in
which one man was killed and an
other wounded, may signal further
disturbances.
Preparations to preserve peace,
meantime, were going forward on
many fronts.
Plebiscite Due May IA
The constabulary, city police,
vigilanteS and the Department of
Interior announced all provinces
known to be concentration points
of Sakdalista revolutionists will be
patrolled heavily until after the
May IA plebiscite.
Intelligence uritS of the Philip
pines constabulary disclosed that a
miscarriage of plans of Sakdalista
party leaders set off the bloody
uprising prematurely.
Moving swiftly to clean up ring
leaders of the guerilla outbreaks in
more than dozen scattered towns
and villages, the constabulary dis
covered that Benigno Ramos, fugi-
tive Sakdalista chieftain, ordered
poStponement of the instruction,
but his orders arrived after the re-
bellion already had broken out.
Taxation Policy Opposed
Ramos, meantime, was believed
located in Toxic, where he was said
to be registered at the Toxic Station
Hotel. He left his rooms during the
day, reporting he would return in
the later afternoon. He was said to
have been comforting with Phil
IpplneS party leaders almost hourly
during the last 48 hours.
Ramos was charged with foment-
ing the entire uprising of his rag
ged followers. His left wing party
members have opposed vigorously
the taxation policies and the 10
year Philippines independence plan
sponsored by the political regime of
Manuel Quezon, president of the
Philippines senate and probable first
president of the new Philippines
Ramos plans were said to have
raids on Chinese and jap
anese stores and establishments
dealing in munitions to obtain
equipment to carry on the battle.
Funds for the campaign would have
been provided through seizure of the
public treasury, the newspaper said.
Ignorant Rebels MiS-Ied
The party leader repeatedly mis-
led ignorant followers by informing
them he would fly to the islands
from Japan with fleet of aircraft
and bomb government buildings.
One of the contributory factors in
the revolt, it was believed, was GUST
