FLOOD WATER Finds Engineers' Jpb Done Wrong Report8 Given City Council Monday Night Shows Previous Charges Well Founded; Alderman Dancy Tells of Investigation NOT enough clearance was allowed under several bridges across North Mill creek, designed by the city's bridge engineers who were relieved of their duties last September, to permit the passage of water which flows down this street In flood periods, the city council was informed at its meeting Monday night by Alderman W. H. Dancy, newly appointed chairman of the bridge committee. The flood which recently occurred when water backed ud from the North Winter street bridge, came at a time when the flow was not as great as it has been many time3 in the past, Mr. Dancy men tioned. Mr. Dancy was not one of the councilmen who opposed the retention of the bridge engi neers last summer. Property Owners Greatly Concerned The bridge committee's report on this matter was made as a re sult of a claim filed against the city for damages resulting from the flood. The property owners affected, since making their first complaint, have filed a bill total ing 310, but their chief concern Is for assurance that the flood will not be repeated. The committee recommended that at the Winter street bridge, additional room for flood water be provided by placing a 48 inch drain pipe outside the bridge foundation on each side. It pro posed to do this before the fills for the approaches are made. The committee was authorized to pro ceed as it had suggested.

CLAUSEN Associated Press Staff Writer LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 20. (AP) A pitiful, crumpled mess of wreckage In a muddy Cal ifornia bean field 80 miles south of here, marks the greatest dis aster in American air transporta tion. Sixteen persons, eight wom en and eight men, went to a quick death by fire there last night when one of the most j modern ky liners, a tri-motored, all-metal transcontinental air - transport -Maddux monoplane, cracked up. All on board were lost, the two pilots and 14 passengers. It was a tribute to the storm, this snuffing out of 16 lives, in the opinion of officials in the pre liminary stages of investigation today. A sudden squall from the sea pressed the great monoplane down to earth and its destruction as the pilot was seeking to turn and scurry to safety, in the opinion of D. W. Tomlinaon, chief of the operations of the owning company, who today surveyed the wreckage. Independent investigations are being carried on by the U. S. de partment of commerce, division of aeronautics' representatives, the coroner of San Diego county, and the T. A. T. line officials. A for mal Inquest, merely to legally Identify and release the bodies of the victims to their relatives, will be held tomorrow morning at Oceanslde, near the scene. The resumption of the inquest to de termine the cause of the accident and fix the responsibility, will not be had until later in the week when field examinations are com pleted, the San Diego coroner an nounced.

ID MK COSTS 5125 PER DAY HOW County Making Every Effort To Clear Main High ways, Word Marion county is spending $125 each day in an effort to remove snow from the various county roads, declared Roadmaster Frank Johnson Monday afternoon. This week the county is using five out fits, four costing $20 a day each which the fifth costs $35 each day. It is estimated. Six men are being employed to operate the equipment but their wages are included in the dally costs fig ured for each pice of apparatus. The equipment being used rep resents all that it available at this time of the year, said Johnson. The four graders are one-man out fits while the two-man outfit is a four-wheel drive Austin patrol grader. Heavy snow had caused the lighter rigs to experience some difficulty in removing the snow, but the big patrol grader works easily against deep drifts. Perhaps the deepest snow in the county which the snow fighters have found is near West Wood burn, according to the roadmaster who visited that section of the county Monday. The snow there is said to be nearly six feet deep where it has drifted across the roads. Johnson promised that the work would be continued nntil every locality was given an opened road but bemoaned the lack of equipment for the present emerg ency.

District Attorney Denies Oregon Crime Increasing PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 20 (AP) Crime In Oregon. Instead of Increasing as reported 8unday by Arthur 8. Benson, clerk of the Oregon supreme court, la ac tually decreasing, Stanley Myers, district attorney of Multnomah county, declared hero today.. Myers took exception to a con clusion of Benson that criminal cases in court had nearly trebled sinee 1917. While be did not Question the accuracy of Benson's figures, My ers said he believed the court clerk's statements, gare a wrong Impression.

After setting a new low mark for the year and a ten year record of two degrees below ze ro Monday morning, the tempera ture rose to 29 degrees above, the highest mark since last Wed nesday in the afternoon. No Hope of Rise In Temperature Given Downtown thermometers Indi cated early this morning that the official temperature would be close to Monday's record and the government forecaster held out no hope of moderation today. After getting a good start on. a silver thaw early Sunday morn ing, the weather man evidently decided that would be a mistake and sent snow to cover up the icy surface created when rain froxe as It fell. ' ; Persons who shoveled away the last three days' covering of the earth Monday, found three distinct strata;' on top, three quarters of an inch of snow; next, a thin layer of ice; below that, a quarter of an Ich of tightly pack ed snow which fell Saturday morning. City Streets Covered By New Snow Layer This new snow covered the downtown streets which had been cleared last week, and the tenants of business houses on the streets cleared Monday, enjoyed the thought that In compensation for the delay, they had really clean streets Instead of a thin sheet of snow which lay where the earlier snow removal opera tions had been conducted. Eight blocks of streets were cleared Monday, nearly complet ing the area of greatest business density. Thanks to the generous re sponse from Individuals and sportsmen's organizations,- the birds whose welfare had caused so much concern last week, ap peared to be better fed Monday than they would have been under normal circumstances. Steps had been taken to avert a fuel shortage, but the non-iopera-tlon of the sawmill made it ne cessary to haul In wood and run it through the "hog" to supply furnaces which use only this type of fuel, and that resulted In an increase in prise.

(AP) Advocating that all cate gories of naval ships be clearly defined at the conference opening in London tomorrow. Representa tive French, republican, Idaho, urged in-the house today the abo lition of the battleship from the navies of the woTld. After a White House confer ence with President Hoover, the Idahoan addressed his colleagues for an hour. Significance was at tached to his views by many be cause of his position as chairman of the subcommittee which hand les appropriations for the navy department. French said that if the London conference failed to attain defi niteness all categories of naval vessels and reasonable limitation in each category, the construction race between the powers would begin again on those ships on which there is no limitation. Failure of Meet to Cause Great Expense Discussing the entire subject of armaments from an economic view, the Idahoan said the naval construction program of this country would amount to 1 2,000, 000,000 within 15 years besides the J400, 000,000 annually for maintenance and operation should the London parley fail. He advo cated the scrapping of all vessels which had passed from the use for which they wer ebuilt, and listed the battleship as the first which should be abandoned. French contended the battle ship was no longer the backbone of the fleet, saying the submarine and aircraft would make it neces sary for the largest combat ves sels to seek the safest harbors in the next war. Kellogg Peace Pact Cited by Speaker "Then from another stand point," he continued, "the nations have adopted the Kellogg Peace pact in which we promise not to engage in an aggressive war. If that is bo, and the nations have faith in what they have done, then eliminate this one great ex pense type of ship a ship whose greatest use ought to be and will be in attacking another ship of the same type." The Idaho representative made plain, however, that he would op pose the United States scrapping the battleship unless other na tions agreed to do likewise. PERRTDALE. Jan. SO. Spe cial) The B. C.

YANKS WILLAVaiD L Method Followed by Hughes At Washington Confab To Be Avoided By C. P. WILLIAMSON Associated Press Staff Writer LONDON, Jan. 20. (AP) The American delegation tonight on the eve of the five-power naval conference was prepared vigorous ly to discourage Injection of tech nicalities and figures on naval needs at the outset of the parley. It appeared certain tonight that the Americans would approach the work In quite different manner from the Hughes policy in 1921. Charles Evans Hughes at the opening session of the Washing ton conference had offered a spe cific program with mathematical ratio. Henry I Stimson will care fully avoid figures and pay spe cial attention to putting the con ference in a frame of mind of con fidence and good faith. It was disclosed at the Ameri can headquarters tonight as a re sult of the talks between Secre tary Stimson and other beads of delegations that there is no ex pectation the parley will include any immediate striking for ad vantage over others. A point which has generally been cited in connection with this is that while the Rodney and Nelson were usu ally regarded as giving the British navy a superiority In battleships some British experts believe the vessels have not been worthy the irritation caused. wikrvw-n BrownriU Woman Killed by U regUIl Burns Caused by Fire From .L Kitchen Stove; River Traf- DilCIo ficNow Reported Improved Fire Kills Woman ALBANY, Ore., Jan. 0.

Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald described the hope and confidence of his government to the assembled representatives of France, Italy, Japan and the United States. Henry L. Stimson," United States secretary of state, in replying for the visiting delega tions, expressed the conviction that the conference was one of the rare occasions in history out of which a permanent step to ward peace might gain Impetus. The leading representatives of the five powers were welcomed during the day as a body by Pre- mier MacDonald at 10 Downing street and by King George at Buckingham palace. Tonight after the banquet, Mr. MacDon ald held a large reception for all of the delegates, experts and ad visers and their wives. Arrangements Completed For Session's Opening Meanwhile the final delicate touches were made to the mag nificent setting for their labors in the Royal gallery of the house of lords. In the shadowed spaces of the great gallery, where King George will convene the inaugural plen ary session at 11 a. m., tomorrow, a minute Inspection of the ar rangements for the historic meet ing was carried out. From the golden throne chair and the king's silver microphone to the lighting effects that will enable photographers to get pictures without flashlights, every detail was pronounced perfect. The eve of the conference has arrived and passed without the cropping out of a single Incident to mar the progress toward suc cessful evolution of a program for naval disarmament and fur thering the peace of the world. Shirt Sleeves Diplomacy Urged by Mr. Stimson Secretary Stimson spoke to the assembled delegates, pleading for a spirit of frankness and good will for the realization of the lofty purposes of the conference, and his words seemed to call a deep note of response from the other delegates and the distinguished guests. His tributes to King George and to Price Minister MacDonald, and then to France, Italy and . Japan were received with great applause. Affirming that "no other re sult will stand the test of time," Mr. Stimson asked his fellow del-, egates to "approach this couier ence table with no desire to over reach our fellow countrymen but with a sincere will to obtain a result which will be faithful and beneficial to all."
