At least 50 persons were believed to have been killed late Thursday when the lower dam of the San Diego water system in the Otay valley, south of here, broke under the heavy pressure of the flood waters. A wall of water 30 feet high was re leased. - ' - Sweeping down the valley the great flood of water carried people, live stock and valuable farm property to de struction. Scores of residents are missing. Houses on 25 ranches were swept away. The first news of the disaster reached here late Saturday. There had been no communication with the district since the disaster occurred, as wires were down and roads were impassable. At least 25 Japanese men, women and children were reported to be among those lost. An area 15 miles long and two miles wide is devastated. Rescuers were unable - to reach the scene of the disaster, as all bridges were washed out and the swollen streams were so treacherous that it was impossible to launch boats to go to the rescue. Several bodies have been seen float ing in the flood waters, according to reports received here. The coroner confirms etimatesB that place the loss of life in the flood at 60. He said that many of the bodies had been washed out to sea. The breaking of the dam released 11,000,000,000 gallons of water, which rushed down through the thickly popu lated and narrow Otay valley. The property loss will amount to at least $1,000,000. Because of the fact that they were Isolated by the break ing of the dam, which shut off any means of reaching other communities, hundreds' of families in the vicinity are facing a food famine. GERMANS TAKE BRITISH PRIZE INTO AMERICAN PORT; NEW ISSUE Norfolk, Va. Given up for lost days ago, the British passenger liner Ap pam, "plying in the West African trade, sailed like an apparition Into Hampton Roads Wednesday, flying the German naval ensign and with her ship's company under guard of a Ger man prize crew. She brought word of a mysterious German "commerce raider, the Moewe, which now roams the seas, and bad on board the crews of seven British mer chantmen and admirality transports captured by the Moewe before she seized the Appam and started her across the Atlantic for an American port with Lieutenant Hans Berge, of the German naval reserve, and 22 men in charge. According to the story told with great reserve by Lieutenant Berge to Collector Hamilton when ne lormauy ' JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY D Aid in Resisting Encroachments of Nipponese Unlikely.

Brandeis, Boston Lawyer, Named for Supreme Court Bench Washington, D. C President Wil son Saturday sent to the senate the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis, law yer, of Boston, to be associate justice of the Supreme court in succession to the late Justice Lamar. The nomina tion was a complete surprise in official circles. Mr. Brandeis' name had not been mentioned publicly in connection with the place. Mr. Brandeis has been in the public eye for some years as a prolific writer on economic topics and for his connee tlon with labor and trust legislation. He attained some prominence six years ago as attorney for the interests which sought the removal from office of Secretary Ballinger in the noted Pinchot Ballinger controversy. He was comiBel later on for the shippers who opposed the general increases in freight rates before the Interstate commerce commission, and during the same period he was at the forefront of those who were demanding an Investi gation of the financial affairs of the New Haven railroads. Mr. Brandeis represented the Ore gon Industrial Welfare commission laBt year in the caBe of O'Hara vs. Stettler, in the United States Supreme court, giving the oral argument and preparing one of the briefs. The case is still pending in the court. Several years ago Judge Brandeis appeared be fore the Supreme court in the same capacity in the interest of the Oregon 10-hour law. In this case he appeared as counsel for Illinois and ' Ohio as well. He was, in 1910, chairman of the board of arbitration which settled the New York garment workers' strike. Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, member of the Ford peace party, has left Hoi land for Berlin to study the needs of children in the belligerent countries. It is said Henry Ford told Mr. Lindsey that if it were feasible he would pro vide ample funds to help the children. Judge Lindsey hopes later to go to England and will leave there for the United States. reported his presence in American ter ritorial waters, the Moewe captured the Appam bound from Dakar, French West Africa, for Liverpool, after a brief show of resistance on January 16, 60 miles north of the Madeira Islands.

War Is "Only Beginning." London "I think that for us the war is only beginning," said David Lloyd George, in an Interview, "but I am absolutely confldent of victory, be cause, although we all have made mis takes in the past, England and her allies are now taking counsel together and will be stronger, because they are united. By next spring we shall have for the first time more munitions than the enemy, and our superiority in men is unquestioned. Besides this, Ger many's financial position is growing worse daily." Booty Given to Bulgaria. Berlin, via London Emperor Wil liam has presented to the Bulgarians all war materials captured by German troops in Serbia, according to an in terview with the former Bulgarian minister to Italy, M. Rixow, printed in the DuBseldorf General Anteiger. Mr. Riiow said the booty comprised more than SO cannon, numerous ma chine guns, tens of thousands of rifles. quantities of ammunition, 127 baggage and hospital wagons and sanitary ma terial valued in all at "probably 30, 000,000 to 40,000,000 marks." Titanic Claims Settled. New York Attorneys for the White Star line announced Saturday that agreements had been reached with more than 200 claimants whereby about $600,000 will be paid in claims arising out of the Titanic disaster. The largest amount to be paid as a death claim will be $50,000, which probably will be received by Mrs. Irene W Harris, widow of Henry B. Harris, the theatrical producer. Mrs. Harris' claim was originally for $1,000,000. RENEWED BY JAPAN Washington, D. C Until it Is de cided whether the German commander aboard the British steamer Appam brought the ship to an American port as a prize of war or bb a converted auxiliary cruiser of the German navy. there will be no determination of the American government's course re specting the ship. When certain formalities have been complied with, the ship's passengers, including several British colonial offi cials, will be released and their dis position passed on by Immigration au thorities. Any prisoner of war will be'released, -because international law permits no holding of war prisoners in a neutral country. The United States then Anally will have to deal with the German crew, and if they are accounted in naval service of Germany, as were the crews of the Prinz Eitel Frederich and the Kronprinz Wilhelm, already Interned at the Norfolk navy yard, they, too, will be interned unless their ship goes to sea to run the cordon of British cruisers outside. As to the disposition of the Appam herself, if she is held to be an auxil iary cruiser her commander will have the option of putting to sea after a ceratin time to make repairs and take provisions. If she is delcared a prize, the situa tion becomes more complex, and in that event it is admitted that the Uni ted States will have to deal with prob ably the most novel question concern ing its neutrality that has arisen dur ing the war. As one of the flrBt steps, the problem probably would ' be re ferred to the neutrality board, which is an unofficial body whose function 1b merely advisory. Tanker Sinks Steamer. Halifax, N. S. The American tank steamer Silver Shell collided with the Japanese steamer Takata Maru Wed nesday night off Cape Race. Wireless meBBages from the Silver Shell said it was feared the Japanese steamer had sunk. The Btenmer Armonia was Btandlng by the Silver Shell, which was badly damaged. The Takata Maru was bound from London to New York. Latest word from the Japanese veBBel said the wireless dynamo room was flooded. The Silver Shell then was also standing by the Takata. Complete Control of China by Japan Would Result Open Door to U. S. Would Be Closed. Washington, D. C. Awaiting con firmation from official sources as a necessary preliminary to any action by the United States, State department officials were interested Thursday in a report from London that the Japanese government has revived all of the de mands on China included in the famous "group five" of the list of proposals submitted to the Pekin government more than a year ago for a permanent settlement of outstanding issues be tween Japan and China. There is a conviction in official cir cles here that any action at this time likely to have results to warding off the new Japanese demands must be taken by the United States practically alone. With every evidence of sympathetic interest by the European entente allies in the attitude of opposition which the United States took when the proposals in the "group five" originally were submitted, it is believed none of these powers will be inclined to take issue with Japan at a moment when they are leaning heavily on their Oriental ally, not only for munitions of war, but for military and naval protection of their interests in the Orient The close study that has been made in Washington of the proposals em bodied in "group five" has only con firmed officials in their original belief that if accepted in full by China, with out protest from other nations, they would lead not only to material and industrial, -but even political domina tion of China by Japan. Japanese advisers for the Chinese government with resulting exclusion of all other foreign advisers from Pekin, it is felt, would place China completely under the political control of Japan. While not prepared to make an issue on that point, however, the State de partment is convinced the other pro visions of "group five" finally would close to American commerce and en terprise the open door in China.

New York That the condition of the Jews in the eastern war lone In Europe is appalling is the burden of a report issued here by the American re lief committee. Jews affected have, by reason of their unfortunate geo graphical position, actually borne the brunt ot the war's burden in Eastern Europe. Nearly 8,000,000 Jews are now facing destitution. Hundreds of thousands were forced to leave their homes at a day's notice, among them the immediate families of 860,000 Jewish soldiers of Russia, Washington, D. C. Estimates were given the senate military committee Thursday by Brigadier General Croz ier, chief of ordnance, showing that a plant costing $400,000,000, operated by a force of 760,000 workmen, would be required to manufacture ammuni tion anid war materials necessary to keep an army of a million men in the field and equip an additional million recruits. General Crozier strongly disap proved any proposal for government monopoly of war supplies, insisting that beat results could be accomplished by relying on private establishments to supplement the output of govern ment plants in time of war. The committee received from Secre tary Garrison a draft of a tentative measure suggested by Senator Cham berlain, chairman of the committee, which would provide for the authoriza tion for the proposed continental army in general terms only, leaving the de tails of the proposed Bystem to be worked out by War department regu lations. The original draft of a bill submitted by the War department con tained an outline of the entire Bystem. Mr. Garrison pointed out to the con gressional committee, when he appear ed before it, however, (hat as the plan largely was an experimental one, it would be wise to give the President wide discretionary powers to meet problems which could be solved in the light of experience yet to be gained. Pumice Batters Vessel. San Francisco Pumice Btone from a submarine disturbance mingled with the waves which battered the liner Sierra during a hurricane which was encountered three days out from Syd ney, N. S.

Captain Kougan said the Sierra muBt have passed over the seat of the volcanic outbreak, as for hours the ship was in a sea of pumice, pieces varying in size from the size of a marble to as big as a Btovepipe hat being thrown on deck by the waves. Car of Powder Explodes. Bluefield, W. Va. More than 80 persons were injured, five seriously, Thursady, when a carload of black powder exploded in the local yards of the Norfolk & Western railroad.

The explosion occurred about one mile and a half from the business section. Corn Whole, $37 per ton; cracked, 18.

Reaction in Wheot Market Feared, The recent swift upward movement in the wheat markets of the United States is causing grain men at Port land to proceed with caution. They are asking whether or not the top has been reached. Sooner or later the high limit is going to be attained and the turning point will come without warn ing. It is true that prices are centB cheaper in the local market than they were one year ago, but it is just about a year ago that the crest of the 1914-15 market was reached, and slump disastrous to many set in. While there may or may not be a per manent check to the rise, a reaction, at any rate, is looked for, and for that reason there has not been the keenness to buy this week that was witnessed in the preceding week. It Is amo this uncertainty that is causing millers to refrain from advancing flour pricea at this time. Country wheat bids were unchanged, but at the local exchange offers were raised from t to 14 cents. Coarse grains were about steady. Bradstreets estimates the world i visible wheat increase at 960,000 bush els, the corn increase at 1,172,000 bushels, and the oats Increase at 979, 000 bushels. The European visible wheat supply is 79,840,000 bushels, an increase of 3,466,000 bushels for the week; a year ago it was '72,301,000 bushels, a de crease- of 4, 400, 000 bushels. Opportunities of the Horse Breeder In1 tna Norcnwest. About the professional, horse breed- I shall have little to say. ne is abundantly able to take care of him self and, If he is as foresigntea as ne should be he will profit by the im nendinz conditions which will aoon make horse breeding one of the most profitable phases of animal husbandry in this country. Henry Ford and the European war conditions have completely changed the aspect of the horse business in this country the first by putting the poor horse out ot business and the second by practically cleaning the country of the lighter and less useful farm horses and both in causing con ditions which make tor the advantage of the drafter. More than any other country ine United States is a user of agricultural machinery and, as our machines nave become heavier and more complicated we have suffered from lack of farm power. Motors will not supply this lack as they are yet too expensive both in cost and operation and they do not supply the mobility of power af forded by the horse ana -neeuea Dy the farmer. The reason for this lack of power not far to seek. It has been the long continued and almost universal practice for farmers to breed their mares to the nearest stauion regard less ot breed or type but, all the time, very regardful of the Bize of the serv ice fee. too onen tne ianner win breed his mares to a Fercberon one year, a Clyde or a Shire the next and then to a standard bred, a morgan or grade the next with the result mat he has all kinds and types of borseB on his farm at the same time. The raising of pure bred draft horses on the farm should now offer trreater ODDortunities than ever be fore. I mention the drafter particular ly because he is the only kind for the farmer and his market for his surplus animals. Never breed a mare to a stallion that is not of her own breed and never, under any circumstances; use stallion that is not better than the mare. Good draft Horses are ust as essential as good seed or good ma chinery and the foals from pure bred parents are worth at least double any other kind. And then feed. Draft horses cannot be made without teed. Push the col from three weeks to three years, give him plenty of open air and exercise, and he will pay you as well as anything on the farm. I. D.

Boom in Hop Trade. A buying movement of unusually large proportions has struck the Pacific Coast hop market. In the three states trading has become extremely active and prices are on a firmer basis than any time this year. A large part of the buying appears to be for export account. There are also indications of urgent short covering. That some of the purchases represent new business with Eastern brewers is also certain. Hop men are at a loss to explain the sudden boom in trade. It may be partly in consequence of the clearing off of pooled bops from the market, but it is more than likely that the de mand for association hops is an effect rather than a cause of the flurry. place abroad for a large quantity of American hops has evidently been found. Whether the stocking up is in anticipation of a small foreign crop or is to avoid the import duty that Eng land is likely to impose is not clear. At any rate, the buying has become urgent and supplies in the hands of Coast growers are sharply reduced. Oregon holdings in first (lands, outside the association, are now estimated at 10,500 bales.
