Hurling Ha tremendous bulk south

the Mississippi was waging a new
assault that ma' break through
every levee for 75 miles south of
Keokuk, Iowa, leave 6000 peoplo

Acting on the government ob

'Sheriff Kenneth A. Elmore ordored
officials of the 14,000-acre Lima

hero, to have all families ready to
move In case of emergency. This
district was causing the greatest
worry today, with levees capable of

NEW EVIDENCE
Grand Jury Decides Not to
Indict Deputy Sheriff-
Surprise Witnesses Tell
of Purchasing Liquor
From Husband.
OU.VUVA, 111., April 26. P)
The grand Jury has decided not to
Indict Deputy Sheriff Hoy Smith
for tho slaying during a dry raid
of Mrs. I.iillun Do King: but it
wa reported lo have been dead
locked lor some hours yesterday
over a proposal to Indict the dead
woman s husband, Josepn, on a
liquor charge.
Ten surprise witnesses were
understood to havo told of having
bought liquor from De King at
l.ls Aurora home, and It was on
this testimony that some members
of the juries favored an indict
ment. Tho majority, however,
held that whether Lc King sold
liquor was bcsldo the question, the
investigation being to "determine
how his wife was killed, and if her
killing culled for Indictment.
It was revealed that Do King
was asked by one Juror If ho did
not consider himself to blame for
his wife's death. , Had ho not been
standing with his revolvers In
plain sight when the raiders de
manded to search his home, he
would not have been struck down
from behind and his wife shot, he
was advised.
One true bill was voted. H
charged perjury against Kugcne
Hoy ralrchlld, whoso affidavit of
buying liquor at the De King home
led to the raid. Falrchlid told a
coroner's Jury that he did not
actually buy the liquor himself, as
the affidavit asserted.

engaged for a number of years,

Tho "H'm Alone;" It held, was
not within the search and seizure
limit of "one hour's sailing dis
tance" from tho American coast
wheu hailed nor at any lime during
tho pursuit which ended with her
sinking; that essential element h of
international doctrlno of "hot pur
suit" wore lacking in the case, and
that the sinking of the vessel was
too severe a measure lo affect
American rights under tho tmaly.
The American poKltlon, set forth
by Secretary Stimson, was that the
"I'm Alone" was within one hour's
sailing distance of the shore when
hailed : that continuous and hot
pursuit took place, and that the
sinking was justified.

important announcements 'Wi? re
made at today's scsxlon of tho pre

was willing to withdraw its reser
vation to tho exclusion of trained

Hpuniah proposal fur the creation
of an International force of peace
aviators. '1
The American position on train
ed reserves hitherto had been that
they should be subjected to limi
tation jitKt as standing armies
should be. Hugh S. tllhson, the
American delegates to the com
mission, today made it clear that
tho United Stnte.H still believed this
but was willing to 'withdraw its
reservation on the matter as a ges
ture of conciliation. i
Franco and Japan, both of
which countries are most uffected,
welcomed Air. Cllbson's announce

convinced It would husten tin ac
