PRESIDENT READS MESSAGE are shipped south for permanent plant FLOODS IN TEXAS Worst in 13 Persons Years. Eleven Cabinet ard Family of Chief Executive Hear Reading of Drowned. Brief Document. Austin, Texas, Dec 3—Texas was experiencing today its worst floods in thirteen ¿ears Several imall towns were practically wiped out, thousands of acres of land were inundated, levees were broket , bridges were washed out and hundrecs of families had been driven from their homes. So far as known here only eleven persons had been drowned. A dispatch from Dallas placed the figure at 20, however. The damage was done mainly in the valleys of the Colorado, Brazos and Trinity rivers, which swollen.by thirty- six hours of torrential rains, were far out of their banks. The Brazos was at the thirty^eight foot stage, according to Dallas advices and the Colorado had reached the twen ty-six foot mark and was still rising rapidly. Governor Colquitt today ordered state troops into the flooded districts to help the sufferers. They had orders to shoot looters at sight. Wasl ington, Dec. 2—President Wil son arrived at the Capitol just before 1 o’clock today to read in person his first annual message to a joint session of Congress. He went at once to Speaker Clark’s room, where he was met by a committee of the House and Senate, and escorted into the House chamber to the rostrum. The joint session and the reading of the message did not begin promptly at 1 o'clock, as had been provided, because of the failure of the Senate to recess in time to get over to the House Cham ber. It was within one minute of 1 be fore the Senators were filing over to the other side of the Capitol. Mean while, the President waited in Speaker Clark’s office, chatting with the recep tion committee and a few Congress men.

Declaring that speculators combining for the control of prices have made fortunes at the expense of the hop in dustry during the last 20 years, a meet ing, a meeting, attended by 76 repre sentative hop men, was held at Salem a few days ago. Deciding that by an organization of their own the hop grow ers. can regain and keep control of the market in the future, a committee was appointed to draft a comprehensive plan for a statewide union among the growers. According to the plan dis cussed, the union will maintain an in formation bureau with agents at Lon don and New York to keep it advised as to market conditions and prices. It is estimated through such organization at least $75,000 per year can be saved to the growers in the matter of supplies which could be bought in wholesale quantities, and an additional $125,0C) in commissions which have heretofore been paid to middlemen for disposing of the crop.

Dec. 2—After r'l hope of saving the vessel had been a- bandoned the Westport life saving crew easly today removed Captain Anders, n and crew from the fourmnater schoon er Balboa, which was caught in the heavy surf outside the north jetty »nd driven ashore early yesterday morning. The vessel was out of its course. The Balboa will probably be a total loss. The schooner was sighted late Sun day evening beating south toward the harbor entrance and finally struck less than 100 feet from the jetty. The Bal boa had just arrived off the harbor from Callao. For many hours doubt existed as to whether the stranded vessel was the Balboa or the Espada, a sister ship, which arrived off shore at the latns time.
