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 I IS 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. . The difference between the al lied powers and the Germans re mained unchanged. There has been talk of some kind of ar rangement, but nothing official has been given out Tonight the litnatlon was just as It was a week ago; when the Germans in the Bevelstoke subcommittee present- Too Late To Classify lie VKGKTABLE. seeding- and porch fcwx plant, bed plants, priced right, TH them at Jay M orris' greenhouse.

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 NO. 2 Synopsis of the Annual Statement of tbe Tokio Marina to Fire Insurance Company, l.tc., of Tokio. in the Empire of Japan, on the thirty-first day of December, 1028, made to the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Orrnn. pnnnant to lair: CAPITAL Amount f capital deposit, $500,000.00.

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. 'T E NEW YORK, April 25.

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.

Both were of- fered but points of order were sus tained against them. With the exception of these, and a proposal by Representative Crisp, a Geor gia democrat, to make Immediate ly available $100,000,000 of the revolving fund, all of the other amendments of the more than two score offered were rejected by votes. The Crisp proposal also was declined on a point of order. The various other amendments which swamped the speaker's ta ble were voted down with a machine-like precision, with the ad ministration followers always keeping a large majority of voters on the floor and many of the democrats Joining them In shout ing down the suggested changes. New Jersey Bourbon Pnt In Wrong Column The democrats divided upon the bill before an almost unani mous republican vote, and on the final roll call the vote was vir tually of the same proportion as that by which the agriculture com mittee had approved the bill 19 to 2. Representative Auf de Heide, democrat, New Jersey, who was recorded o n the official tally sheet as having voted for the bill, said afterward that he had an swered in the negative and would have the record changed. This would change the vote to 366 to 35 against. In the senate today majority leaders were hopeful that the movement to incorporate the ex port debenture plan opposed by President Hoover had reached its maximum strength and that it would fail In spite of possible re publican defections.

(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.
