livestock were believed to have
suffered heavily.
Great concern was felt for mo
torists believed caught in the im
passable roads leading into Chey
enne although the meager reports
that drifted in told of no casual,
ties.
Lacking wires to dispatch a news
report to Its member newspaper
in Cheyenne, the Associated Press
again broadcast news bulletins
over station KOA for Cheyenne.
The result of the broadcast was
unknown however, and it was
pointed out that the power failure
in Cheyenne might have made ra
dio reception there impossible.
ST. LOUIS, April 25 (AP)
The Mississippi river, in the reach
between Louisiana and Cape Gir
ardeau, Mo., was on a new ram
page today as a result of heavy
rains in Missouri and Iowa, and
the United States weather bureau
warned that it would rise at St.
Louis to within one foot of the
crest during the disastrous flood
of 1927.
Government observers said there
would be much flooding of low
lands in the vicinity of St. Louis
and along the lower Missouri in
St. Louis and St. Charles coun
ties. A stage of 35 feet in St.
Louis Sunday, five feet above
flood stas;e. was forecast. This
would affect railroad service and
cause some flooding of industrial
plants in north St. Louis.
KANSAS CITY. April 25.
(AP) Seven known dead, ap
proximately 30 persons injured,
and property damage running into
hundreds of thousands of dollars
was revealed tonight as the toll
of the violent spring storms that
played havoc in the west yester
dav and today.
Wyoming was still in the grip
of the worst April blizzard in years
while communities in Texas and
Nebraska were slowly recovering
from the effects of destructive
tornadoes.
Fears were felt for motorists
caught unprotected on the snow
blocked roads in the vicinity cf
Cheyenne. Wyo., which had been
cut off from communication with
the outside world for more than
24 hours. Meagre reports obtain
able contained no news of loss of
life In the blizzard, but it was be
lieved that when communication
is restored some deaths from ex
posure might be revealed.
Klieep and Livestock
BHW-ved Hard Hit
Sheep and livestock were be
lirved to have suffered heavily.
The storm wrought havoc with
w!re service in the Rocky moun
tain region. Damage to telephone
and telegraph circuits in the vicin
itv of Cheyenne was estimated at
$100,000.
While the weather moderated
somewhat and no further snow
was reported today, the sky re
mained overcast and freezing
temperatures were forecast for
tonight, extending east into Kan
sas. Several hundred persons were
left homeless in the seven Texas
rommunlties visited by tornadoes.
The injured list stood at 25. Total
property damage was placed at
half a million dollars.
Fcvon Killed In
Tornado in Texas
At Slocum, Texas, seven lives
were lost and 21 injured. The
village was virtually destroyed.
T)escending again at Benson
Springs, the tornado did consider
able damage.
Five persons were injured and
125 rendered homeless by another
twister that tore a path half a
mile wide and nine miles long
through the James. Antioch, Hen
rietta. Cotton Ford and Jackson
eommunities. near Center. Texas.
The two tornadoes that ripped
through farm regions in eastern
Nebraska injured several persons
but none were killed.
Residents of Fort Scott, Kas.,
experienced their second tornado
scare in four days when a twister
skirted the western edge of that
city and dipped to wreck one farm
house and damage another. Many
persons ran for shelter when the
funnel shaped cloud was seen ap
proaching. A6EIHTSTILL

PARIS. April 25. (AP) An
eleventh hour agreement on rep
arations was still hoped for to
night in certain quarters in Paris,
but a majority of the delegates
re concerned chiefly with a
leans of ending their mission
without closing the door to future
negotiations.
The principle experts met this
morning at the Hotel George V to
look over the work of their secre
taries with reference to prepara
tion of a report which is to be
made to the government con
cerned. No one was willing to give any
. Indication as to what the report
was likely to contain, though
there were certain indications that
the final consideration will be the
possibilities of future negotia
tion through the governments
themselves that are likely to com
plete the work of the experts.

lied powers and the Germans re
mained unchanged. There has
been talk of some kind of ar

High School Physicists
Discover Just Where to
Sit for Loudest Results
Here are some tips on where to to the 28th row, only 40 per cent
sit wnen you attend any perform
ance in the auditorium of the
senior high school, passed on as
the result of an acoustic surrey
made by the physics class of Miss
June Pbllpott at the suggestion of
the principal:
The audibility of the north side
of the assembly Is slightly better
than for the south side, possibly
due to air currents from heat reg
isters or position of the machine
shops on south; the extreme right
and extreme left sections at both
the front and the rear of the room
give poor hearing satisfaction;
there is tendency to a dead spot
in the middle section, from the
ninth to the sixteenth row.
The check showed the center of
the room back as far as the 24 th
row, had fair acoustic values,
rated at 70 per cent; from there
ed considerations which a major
ity of the committee considered
unacceptable.
Owen D. Young, American ex
pert and chairman of the commit
tee, still is straining every effort
to prevent a final break, but to
night there was nothing to justify
hope of a change in the situation.
STREET IS REFUSED
The city planning and zoning
commission will not take the lead
in any steps which may be started
to open a diagonal street from the
present terminus of Liberty at Su
perior, to Commercial 6treet,
members of the commission have
indicated.
Such a move had been proposed
in connection with the suggested
use of Liberty as a feeder to the
Pacific highway south, after the
new Liberty street bridge is open
ed. Members of the commission are
not of the opinion that traffic
will be so heavy that two parallel
streets will be needed, and if they
are, traffic out Liberyt may use
the right angle turn at Superior,
they stated.
If any new route to the high
way extending south is mapped
out, it will probably be well to
the east of the business section, a
route for persons who wish to
drive directly through the city
without stopping downtown.
On the other hand, it is pretty
generally the concensus of opinion
among the members of the com
mission that one street is all that
is necessary to carry traffic in the
city which must after all be con
fined to one narrow highway af
ter it reaches the city limits.
WASHINGTON. April 25.
(AP) President Hoover gave his
approval in an address here to
night to the program for the beau
tification of the national capital
by the carrying out of the present
and projected program of new
government buildings on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue.
Emphasizing the need of such
structures, the president declared
that nearly 25,000 of the 70,000
federal employes In Washington
are now housed in temporary
buildings, many of which are in
sanitary, with the various depart
ments divided among scores of
unworkable and scattered build
ings. "For instance, agriculture fs
housed in 46 different buildings",
he said, "and the treasury in 27
places; commerce in twenty places.
We are paying rents and losing ef
ficiency in sums far greater than
the interest upon adequate build
ings." The chief executive, who spoke
at a meeting on the beautification
of Washington, held in the United
States chamber of commerce build
ing, said the new building pro
gram must be fitted into the tra
dition and symbolism of the cap
ital. He added that he hoped to
live to see the day when there
would be removed from Washing
ton some of the federal structures

Reasons For
Divorce Are
Sought Here
"When were they married?
Where were they married? Was
it the wife or the husband that
sought and obtained the divorce?
Were there children Involved in
the suit?
These are Questions to which
Willamette university students
are seeking an answer as they
probe the files of last year's di
vorce suits in circuit court. Loret
ta Fisher and Mary Jo Wagner
are the Investigators and the
work they are doing will be sub
mitted as original research for a
course in sociology.
While the young women have
not completed their study, they
bare found that 135 divorces were
issued by circuit judges in the
county last year and that the
great preponderance of these were
granted to women.
Vancouver, 'Wash, appears to
the Investigators as a poor place
to be married Inasmuch as many
weddings which went on marital
rocks were begun from that port.

miles from shore when first hailed
by the coast guard vessel Wolcott
and was thus within the one
hoar's sailing distance from
shore:
That continuous and hot pur
suit did take place: and that the
sinking was Justified, being in
evitable, with the coast guard hav
ing acted throughout in full ac
cord with the law.
Mr. Stimson's note concluded by
saying that if Canada stiU found
itself nnable to concur in the
findings of facts and the conclu
sions of law set forth by him, the
United States would gladly agree
to submit the mattes to arbitra
tion as provided In Article IV of
the treaty.
Arbitration Offer Is
Accepted By Canada
Accepting the American sugges
tion of arbitration, Canada's reply
expressed regret of "inability to
concur in certain important as
pects" of the I'm Alone and the
speed of the vessel were said by
the note to "appear capable of
solution only by an examination of
all the evidence by an impartial
tribunal."
The correspondence showed a
wide divergence of opinion be
tween the American and Canadian
governments on the question of
pursuit outside the one hour's
sailing distance from shore when
the pursuit is begun within that
limit. The Canadians contended
that the pursuit should be con
fined to the boundary of the one
hour limit unless begun within
the three-mile territorial waters
limit recognized by international
law. Mr. Stimson argued that
when hailed within the one hour
limit, pursuit might be continued
outside the area.
The United States deplored the
loss of the life of Leon Maincui, a
member of the I'm Alone crew
who waB drowned, but said the
vessel's captain had within his
power to remove at any time prior
to the sinking the danger in which
the lives of the members of his
crew were placed, by complying
with the order to stop.

British Public Amazed When
Details of Amazon's
Life Exposed
LONDON. April 25. (AP)
The most amazing masquerader
within the memory of Londoners
ended today in humiliation and
disaster for Mrs. Irma Valerie Ar-kell-Smlth,
who long successfully
has posed as a war hero under the
name of "Colonel Barker." She
was sentenced to Old Bailey court
to nine months imprisonment.
This stalwart Amazon, who had
deceived her associates of both
sexes for many years, met her
downfall as the result of a "mar
riage" which she contracted in
1923 with another woman. She
was convicted of hating made a
false statement in procuring reg
istration of the marriage.
It was this marriage In which
"Colonel Barker's" wife testified
that she never realized her "hus
band" was not a man during its
duration, which provided perhaps
the strangest feature of a strange
imposture.
For it Mrs. Arkell-Smith today
suffered the censure of the court,
the recorder describing her as "an
unprincipled, mendacious and un
scrupulous adventuress."
