John Gotwals after a survey of the situation at Mel- ville. George Schoenberger, chief State engineer, and John Klorer, New Orleans levee board _engineer, said they believed it impossible. However, D. C. Waddill, Federal engincer in charge of the lower river, said that all that was keeping the mighty cur- rent from cutting.a new and shorter channel to the Gulf was a pair of stone sills, built in the bed of the Atchafalaya in 1896. Whether these would hold against the terrific force of the current was problematical, he believed. Refugees Leave Pointe Coupee. Refugees continued to pour out of Pointe Coupee parish as a result of a warning issued by John M. Parker, State relief director. A crevasse in the levees In Pointe Coupee would in- undate about 2,000,000 acres, the last of the fertile “sugar bowl" section, and affect about 100,000 persons. The danger zone is from 130 to 150 miles above New Orleans on the west side of the Mississippi. While the evacuation was under way a force of 2,500 men, who worked all last night, were fighting desperate- iy to ‘éve the levee at McCrea, 10 miles below the point .where the Atchafalaya joins Old River. As a result of a warning delivered personally by Seeretary of Commerce Hoover to residents of the St. Martin- ville section, the stream of refusees pouring into Lafayette was growing greater. Roads were clogged with the MISSISSIPPI RIVER CHANGING COURSE.

Water is expected to reach St. Martinviile, the heart of the Acadian country, by noon tomorrow. Move to Second Floors Residents left at Breaux Bridge had moved into the second stories of their homes. From the windows of the top floors the flood ‘waters were visible, constantly creeping nearer. The streets of the town were expected to be flooded by noon. Residents spent vesterday moving their furniture on scaffolds and preparing to evacuate. Telephone advice from New Iberia was that refugees from Loreauville and other points in the lower Teche country already had started to pour in there, Arnaudville, Cecilia, Port Barre, Leonville, Henderson and other settlements already were under from 3 to 10 feet of water. The water, whi¢h is coming from the breaks in the Bayou des Glaises levees and the Atchafalaya levees at Melville, was reported to be rising. Rain Hampers Rescue Work. Eight thousand refugees had been registered at Lafayette, and officials of the camp there said they were com- ing in at the rate of 300 #n hour. Preparations are being made to take care of 15,000 by the end of the weck. Rain failing almost all day yester- day in the Lafayette district made rescue work almost impossible by motor. More than 200 families in the Ar- navgville section were reported to have been trapped by the advancing flood, and plans were made to send boats to their aid. : A trainload of boats, manned by Legionnaires who have been doing tes- cue work in northeast Louisiana, was unloaded _ yesterday near Breaux Bridge and immediately started rescue work. {00 TAUNT BRITAIN BEFORE EMBASSY China Policy Is Motive for Demonstration by “Hands- Off”” Group. Bearing a score of placards manding an end to “British Imperial- jsm in China,” a band of 100 men women and children staged a demon- stration in front of the British Em- b for a half hour today. The dem- onstraors were members of the Handsoff China Conference of Bal- timore and Philadelphia. The Kuo- mintang (National Chinese Party of Washington) led the demonstration, which included the Workers Party of Washington and the Young Workers League of the city. The domonstrator ssembled at Du- pont Circle at 11:30 and marched down Connecticut avenue to N street, where the embassy is located. They contin- ued the procession up and down in front of the emb: v until noon. Embassy 1s Silent. While the embassy preserved an impenetrable silence and a lone po- liceman observed the demonstration, crowds gathered on the sidewalks and traffic became jammed for a few min- utes near the embassy. Some of the placards low “America is no cat's paw for British imperialism,” “China_for the Chinese,” “America had its 1776, let it 80 be with China”; “Down with for- eign intervention,” “British imperial- m in China means war,” “Britain by dragging down China drags down the rest of the world,” “British imperial- ism must not plunge the United States into war with China or Soviet Russia.” Half Dozen Chinese.

GOULD LINCOLN. ans BY G Charles K Hughes announce- ment that he stands for the ré-elec- | oolidge “first, last | and all the time” was accepted by prominent Republicans here as a politi- | cal utterance of the utmost signifi- cance. Mr. Hughes' own name has been during the last six weeks prominently mentioned as the likely Republican nominee for President in the event President Coolidge should declare himself unwilling to be a candidate. Indeed, several of the leaders of the party in the East have assiduously circulated the prediction that Mr Hughes would be the choice of the party in the 1928 convention if Presi- dent Coolidge were out of the run- ning. Not a little quiet work has been done along this line, but ap- parently without consultation with Mr. Hughes himself. Spikes Own Boom. Now the former Secretary of State has himself spiked the Hughes hoom. if it ean be called 'h. He has de- clared that he will “neither seek nor accept” the nomination for President next year. His announeement made yesterday in New York,. followed the publication of reports in the news- papers that he was to be the choice of many Republicans for the nomina- | tion if the President should take him- self out of the picture or should be- come unavailable for any reason. Mr. Hughes gives two reasons for attitude. The first is that he is for President Coolidge. The second is that he is himself too old. His statement fol- lows: “I know nothing of the movement | reference is made.,” Mr. Hughes said. “There should be no doubt as to my own altitude.

Coming from an authority on American government of the eminence of Mr. Hughes, this opinion doubtless will have no little effect upon public opinion. It backs up the views already xpressed by other leaders of the Re: publican party in many parts of the country. It follows close upon the heels of a similar statement from v Hoover, who, like Mr. Hu s heen prominently mentioned as presidential possibility in the event Mr. Coolidge is not the nominee.

Changes Long Anticipated. The changes announced last night by Secretary Mellon long had been anticipated, as it was known that Gen. Andrews, a soldier of long mili- tary experience, did not intend to’re- main indefinitely in the Federal serv- ice. Haynes, who had been demoted and reduced in power at the advent of Andrews into the service, received a promotion that brought him amazing- I¥-intg the spotlight with his appoint- ment as “acting prohibition commis- sloner” of . the new Prohibition Bu- reau authorized by new law. But his prominence proved short lived, in spite of a spectacular battle in his behalf by the Anti-Saloon League and Senators Willis and Fess of Ohio to have him made permanent prohibition commissioner. Mr. Lowman's position carries the title of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in charge of customs, Coast Guard and prohibition. His home is | in Elmira, N. Y., and during his term as lieutenant governor of his State his position on prohibition hecame well known. Dr. Doran, a native of North Dakota, the son of a Methodist minister, gave emphatic expression to his views during last year's Senate wet and dry inquiry. Deputies to Remain. Secretary Mellon explained In con- tion with the new -appointments that no change was contemplated in the positions of deputy commissioners of prohibition. These posts have been held for some time under an ting" i v James E. Jones for prohibition nd Col. L. G. Nutt for narcotics. The post of stant prohibition commissioner is yet to be filled, fol- lowing conferences among the new heads, when it is understod that Maj. H. H. White, now a special investiga- tor and prominent at prohibition h juarters, will probably get the ment. Separation of Andrews and Haynes from prohibition work added still more color to their already striking careers, chiefly because of tke difference in the manner in which their departure was announced. Andrews’ resignation was made public along with grateful words Zrom Secretary Mellon, his chief, but aside from the oral declaration that Mr. Haynes would be expected to re- sign, no mention v:s made of the Ohioan.
