ixubtless preparations for a break
at Torras prevented loss of life. As
at other threatened points, a train had
been placed at Torras. ready to mo at
moments notice. Vt hen the break
came, the Inhabitants runhed for th
harbor. Even some livestock was put
aboard and the train was run out of
The danger zone. Steamboats picked

Katon xlottfce. where Government ra

Sheriff Parker, of West Raton Rouge
Parish, is in charge of a Southern Pa
cific cattle train running through the
Atchafalaya Swamps of Iberville and
St. Martin Parishes, removing Inhabi
tants to places of safety. The train
will continue to run until all are re
moved, unless the track is washed
away. The Frisco Railroad sent out a

It Is estimated that 115.000 homeless
persons are being taken care of largely
through Government efforts. In the
refugee camps that have been estab

this number by the Torras break can

In defiance of the Fish and Game
commission's order, closing the Wil
lamette River to conform with the sea
son covering the Columbia River, two
fishermen were arrested Saturday night
for fishing near Oregon City. After
their arrest the men took their case
before the Circuit Court at that place
for the purpose of testing the commis
sion's right to close the Willamette
Kiver. After taking tne question un
der advisement Jutfge Campbell ren
dered a decision sustaining the commis
sion. The fart that the men were ar
rested at midnight and were apparently
mlcavorlng to elude the deputy fish
wardens, led Warden Clanton to be
lieve that they were disobeying the
law Instead of testing it.
Judge Campbell's decision is expected
lo go far toward settling the difficulty
that has arisen since the salmon fish
ing season on the Willamette River was
iianged to conform with that on the
Columbia River.

Calling for Resolutions.
"Tommyrot and nonsense" are terms
applied by Connrilman Wallace to the
action of the City Council in ordering
a committee of five to draft "suitable

Rushlight, at the suggestion of Coun
cilman Baker, who made the motion in
the Council, but who did not wish to
serve.
"I shall not call the committee to

would It do any one for the City Coun

Council Flonts.
The Portland circles of the Oregon
Congress of Mothers, which were or
ganized last Fall Into a council for the
purpose of facilitating the work of the
Congress, adopted the first constitution
of the council, to be known as the Tort-
land Council, at their monthly meeting
in the City Hall yesterday. All of the
ofTlcera elected when the council tem
porarily was organized were re-elected.
The principal feature of the constl
tutlon Is a provision that every com
mlttee chairman of the various circles
comprising the council shall be a
member of the council's committee hav
ing charge of the work corresponding
to the work of the committee she rep
resents In her circle
At the meetings of the state congress
hereafter, the Portland circles will be
represented by delegates from the
Portland Council, Instead of from tha
different circles. The work of the
State Council will be modified by the
substitution of meetings of the board
of managers and of the executive com
mittee, for general monthly meetings
participated in by all councils of th
slate.
.Mrs. Robert Tate, state president of
the Congress, told of a plan to have
the Congress represented by suitable
floats in the parades at the Rose Fes
tival. She said that at a recent meet
Ing of the board of managers the ap
pointment of a committee to take
charge of this work was authorized
and that she expects to have Its per
sonnel completed today. The commit
tee will meet next Tuesday at the
Young Women's Christian Association.
At the meeting the mothers were ad
dressed by Mrs. L. H. Addlton, National
lecturer of the social welfare work of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
t'nlorr, who discussed the present laws
of the state for the welfare of women
and children. She said that on the
whole they were good, but pointed out
where a few new ones were needed.
Most important of these, she said, was
a law making wife desertion a crime.
She said that there was urgent need
for a law instituting a state industrial
school for girls and another changing
the age of consent from IS to 21 years.
Mrs. W. J. Hawkins, president of the
Portland Council, said that there was
a lack of enforcement of existing laws.
It was announced that the Oregon
Congress is arranging for a state con
ference at Eugene July 2 and 3. under
the auspices of the University of Ore
;on. ARMY CHANGES ORDERED
