FLOOD WATER TIDE HITS MANY STATES Levees Break in Missouri, Forcing 500 to Evacuate. Half County Covered. By the Assoctated Pres Swirllug flood water of the Missis- sippl and its tributaries menaced homes in & half dozen States today while snow and rain storms swept across the South, Hundreds were driven from their homes in Illinois, Missouri and Mis- sissippi by rising floods that crumbled levees of the St. Francis River, near Kennett, Mo., and threatened a wide- spread rampage. National Guardsmen were ordered out in Missouri to help families evac- uate the stricken area from which more than 500 fled as officials warned levees would crumble further before the flood's crest. Half of Saline County, Ill, was inundated by floods described as the worst since 1913. s Mercury Above Freezing. Meanwhile, the Washington outlook was for mostly cloudy weather tonight and tomorrow, without much change in temperature. A snow of less than half an inch whitened Washington last night, but the city awoke to fair skies. The mercury by noon was well above freezing and should not get lower than 34 toright. ‘The minimum for the last 24 hours ‘was 32 at 2 o'clock this morning. Yes- terday’s rain changed to snow about 10 o'clock last night, and light flur- ries fell until the skies cleared shortly before daylight. Not enough snow remained on the streets to incon- venience traffic. Freeze Curbs Kentucky Flow. Kentucky waterways, swollen by the heaviest continuous rain in two years, were blamed for one death and considerable property damage, but freezing weather arrested the imme- diate danger of more extensive dam- age. United States engineers predicted the Mississippi Would rise 7 feet above flood stage at Cairo, Ill, by Saturday, and forecast a major food. A howling gale swept through the Carolinas, blanketing large areas in snow, disrupting communication and unroofing houses. On the Carolina coastal banks 200 fishing boats were driven to shelter, and at St. Pauls three houses were blown from their foundations. Appre- hension was felt as mountains were blanketed with snow above already swollen streams, Northern West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and Ohio were threat- ened by waters of the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio Rivers. A tornadic storm added cold weather and ice to flood regions of Mississippi, where many residents of Jackson were evacuated as the Pearl River over- flowed. The business section of Pon- totoc, Miss., suffered $100,000 storm damage. ‘The high wind tore a path 400 yards wide and more than a mile long through Macon, Ga., demolishing small houses and ripping up trees. A convict camp near Valdosta, Ga., suffered damage from the winds. Miners Quit Jobs. As the Monongahela River reached 5 feet above flood stage at Browns- ville, Pa., all river traffic was stopped and an estimated 10,000 miners, work- ing full time for the first time in months, had to quit their jobs tempo- rarily. Lockmasters said they expected a fall shortly, but foresaw no resumption l| of trafic before Thursday at the earliest. Tributaries of the Monongahela in Northern West Virginia covered a dozen highways, and a number of communities were practically cut off from automobile traffic. The same was true in the southern part of the State, where the Kanawha and its tributaries were rising. At Middlebourne, W. Va., on the Ohio River, schools were closed be- cause busses could not travel flooded OVERSEAS WRITERS TO HONOR SPEAKERS Diplomats, Army and Navy Off- cers and Wives to Be Given Reception.

CYPSY DECLARES CIRL HIS “BRIDE” Abduction Accusation Here Denied by Nomad, Held in Louisiana. Department of Justice agents at Lake Charles, La., yesterday began a study of “Gypsy marriage law” in an effort to solve the case of Rose Dem- etro, 15, reported kidnaped from Washington January 7. This started | when one of-six of a band ot Gypsies | arrested in connection with the al- leged abduction claimed the girl to be his wife, The girl was located with a Gypsy caravan at Lake Charles Saturday by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Petro Demetro. They had been seeking her since her disappearance from city. Monday the Federal district attor- ney's office at Shreveport asked that four brothers and two sisters be held on kidnaping charges, after learning of their arrest by a sheriff and Lake Charles patrolmen. Gypsy Denies Charge. But yesterday George Miller, one of the group arrested, claimed Rose as his wife, “under gypsy law,” and denied the charge of abduction. “Rose's brother, he took our sister,” officers quoted Alex Miller, another of the men arrested, as saying. “George, here, he takes Rose for his wife. That's gypsy law.” “Yes, yes, that is so,” George re- plied. “Rose is my wife. It's gypsy law for marriage.” And two other Miller brothers held, Eli and Randolph, nodded in affirmation. The other two held were booked as Mickenese Miller, described by the Miller men as their mother, and Annie Miller, their “sister.” Warrants Held Here. Rose could not be reached to give her version of the case, it was said. Washington police discounted the kidnaping theory, but hold grand larceny warrants sworn out by the girl’s father for the arrest of a George Miller and & Joseph Miller in con- nection with the alleged disappearance of $105 from a trunk in the girl's home here about the time of her dis- appearance. Meanwhile, Leo Miller was arrested on a similar warrant and brought back here from New York.

Phelps, 59 Randolph place. She said Phelps’ son, James, and the Hughes boy and her son confessed. The Phelps boy was tried in Juvenile Court and placed on probation, she declared, and her son pleaded guilty to housebreaking and larceny and his plea for probation is now pending in the District Supreme Court. The Hughes boy, however, she ex- plained, has not been brought to tri Photostatic coples of the records of the United States attorney's office were introduced, showing that “ig"” had been marked on the papers, in- dicating, it was said, the charges had been ignored by the grand jury, Charges Against Maghan. Detective Maghan, in his efforts to act as “judge and jury” in the case, Mrs. Morely charged, not only tried to get her to pay for the goods stolen are her son was not involved, but took steps to prevent her from appearing before the Crime Committee. When Maghan came to her house in an effort to persuade her to pay $67 for the goods taken from the store, Mrs. Morely said she drove him out and told him that instead of trying to solve the case he was “busy” in a numbers game establishment in the 2000 block of L street. “Was there a numbers game there?” inquired Schulte. “Was? There is,” Mrs. Morely de- clared. Schulte asked her if Maghan knew that gambling was going on in the es- tablishment, and she replied: “Oh, ves. So do his brother officers.” “What a fine detective,” remarked Schulte. After charging Maghan with fre- quenting the numbers place, Mrs. Morely testified Maghan went to Buckley, her attorney, and urged him to “keep that woman off me.” She sald the detective also asked Buckley to keep her away from the crime com- mittee, Mrs. Morely told of numerous con- ferences between herself, the detec- tive and parents of the two other boys, during which Hughes told her he wes a Mason, and not “a Roman page, is at 70c per month start immediately. :00“000“0 STORAGE ON THESE loan you. selection. 2 3 Ralph and Helen Gill, giri.
