FLOOD CREST
DUE TO STRIKE
D.C.TOMORROW
Portion of Capital
To Be Inundated

AS reports of serious floods in
west Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania around Pittsburgh
flashed into washington today,
the United States weather Bureau
declared portions Of the Capital
viii be under water tomorrow.
The Potomac River, now raging
over its banks in the vicinity Of
Hancock, Md, will sweep by
Harpers Ferry, w. Va, late today
and bear down on this city early
tomorrow morning, Government
experts warned.
DAMAGE FEARED
When the crest of the swollen
stream hits the Capital, it was
said, the river will be 10 feet above
mean low water and will sweep
over portions Of the Mount Vernon
Memorial Boulevard, K Street in
Georgetown, Boiling Field, Water
Street and the washington Airport.
Although the inundation viii be
about four feet lower than last
springs flood, the Weather
Bureau revealed. it may cause
some damage. The wild display OF
nature on the rampage win be
greatest around sycamore Island,
lust upstream from the District
line, where a flood stage of 16 to II
feet is expected.
Almost incessant rain in the
hills of the Potomac and Monon-
sahela watersheds are the cause
Tiny rills in Che mountains have
become brooks, brooks have be-
come creeks and creeks have
changed into roaring rivers, feed
ing untold gallons of water into
the main outlets to the sea.
HOMES DESERTED
Yesterday the Potomac smashed
its way past Kitzmiller and other
Maryland towns above Cumber-
land, forcing several hundred fam
lilies to flee. In Cumberland the
business district was under water,
but serious trouble was averted
when merchants removed their
wares to upper stories. Across the
Potomac at Ridgely, w. Va. doz-
ems of homes were damaged in
low-lying sections.
Today the torrent swept down
on Hancock. leaving 10 families
temporarily homeless. The TEN.
porary bridge across the Potomac,
only means Of communication
with West Virginia, was closed to
traffic but was believed able to
withstand the flood.

lice that .insworth had been drink
ing heavily for the past week or
more and that his sister, fearful OF
him, had gone to her mothers
apartment.
The two women were alone IN

with a hatchet and heavy limo
leum knife.
Just what happened the wounded
women were unable to say. Aims

ing at her and inflicting a cut
that ran from the corner of her
mouth to her scalp. He also cut
her several other times.
CUTS HER THROAT

her several times and battered
her over the head with the handle

THE NATIONS LOSS

The death of Senator Joe Robinson of Arkan-
sas Wednesday removes from the national scene
of the most powerful men of today, and leaves
the administration without one of it's strongest
leaders.
Admired by everyone his friends and his enc
mics, his colleagues and the vast army of common
American people, he was a fighter who never sur
rendered, a man who subordinated his own be-
lefs and desires to the dictates of his position.
America has too few men of his caber; his
death is the entire countrv's loss

THE UNWANTED MAN

The proposed appointment of j. ID. Ross, head
of the Seattle City Light department., as admin
istrator of the Bonneville Dam project, has ar
oused a storm of protest from Oregon newspapers
and Oregon's governor Charles Martin
Not long ago, the rumored appointment of Ross
as head of the Grand Coulee Dam project aroused
Just as great if not greater storm Of protest here
in Washington.
Apparently Ross, who has built up powerful
political machine in Seattle, is not wanted by any
one outside that city. There, he is all-powerful;
away from there, impotent
Within the last few years he has shown
Stunning desire to extend the sphere of his infln-
ence, but if the people continue to assail him as
they have and are he will have to limit his ac-
tivities to the small area of his home town, much
as he may find it distasteful

afternoon about 6:15 O'clock,
Harry Osterhoudt. young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Osterhoudt, of
Grinnell street, rode his bicycle
into an automobile driven by
Beryl Curry, with the result that
his leg was fractured above the

Harry was on his way to the
bake shop for a loaf of bread, and
as done by many other boys and
grown fox, also. selected the
smoothest and fastest riding sur
! face and rode to disaster.
| Mr.. Curry, when seen this
morning, said that he was driving
east with his family, and as usuaI
was going at a very slow speed
when he saw the bicycle and its
rider appear before him from be
hind a parked car.
The boy made strenuous effort:
to swerve away but was forced tt
lean over too far to the right
which caused him to lose balance
and fall just as the automobile
with rapidly decreasing momen
tum. came to a halt, said Mr.
Curry with one of the wheels
touching his leg.
Taken to the office of a loca
physician by Mr.. Curry and Har
ry Lee Baker, the physician, aft
err a thorough examination, an
nounced that the left femur
thigh bone, was fractured jus
above the knee. No announcement
was made of any other injuries.

the citizens to frame charter or
cause the same to be drafted and
incorporate therein the particular
kind OF government that will best
suit their needs. After the APP

be necessary for the representa-

to be enacted into law with a
referendum provision requiring a

sit was my privilege TO aid in
the refunding program Of the
county's bonded debt and help
overcome some of the many prob

of the Overseas Super Highway.
''To complete the adjustment of
the debt structure and the build
ing OF the highway in this county
are not more important to the
future well-being of its people
than a business like system of
government. In other words es-
tablished confidence in efficient
governmental future operations
are vitally necessary to the growth
and prosperity of the community.
Whether or not those most con-
cerned will take advantage of the
opportunities which are knocking
at our door at this particular time
remains to be seen.
"The American Bar Association
recently announced that the
greatest threat to American demo-
cracy is the breakdown in NUM-
cipal and local government Sure
ly this warning is timely. Ours is
not a case of misgoverned but
over-governed.
Consolidation at this time
would make the County of Mon
roe unique in that it would be
the only one in the state operat-

The advertising feature would be
more valuable than all other
forms of publicity combined, not

the way towards the building ur
