The departure of Premier Laval of France for Paris and Anthony Eden of Britain for the Swiss countryside for the week end did not end rumors of various compromise solutions about to be offered to Italy.

Relief Work in Maryland. Meanwhile, flood-siricken sections of Maryland planned rehabilitation and relief measures last night while water sent swirling over wide areas by a week of heavy rains began to recede slowly. Tentative estimates placed the dam- age in Virginia at $1,000.000. about half of which was suffered by farmers whose crops were mired, flooded, or flattened by wind. Wind and high water damaged highways, bridges, rail- roads, docks, boats and other prop- erty. Perhaps a similar amount of dam- age was done in Maryland. In St. Marys County alone five bridges were reported down, at an estimated cost of more than $50,000. Unofficial es- timates placed the damage to the tobacco crop at 40 per cent or more, and to the corn crop at 25 per cent. City Virtually Isclated. Highway washouts and broken bridges had virtually isolated St. Marys City. ‘The Virginia Highway Department reported heavy losses along with the worst disruption of traffic in recent years. Damage to roads and bridges yesterday was reported even more seri- ous than that of the previous day, as rain-swollen tributaries channeled their burden into the James, North Anna, South Anna, Pamunkey, Matta- poni and other rivers. The Chickahominy overflowed its banks at Bottoms Bridge on route 60, after the road had been opened a few hours, and cut Richmond off from the Williamsburg and New Kent routes. _}‘_Jlter lapped over the Washington (See PYRES, page 4.)

ROME, September 7.—The Infanta de Bourbon y Dampierre, wife of Don Jaime of Bourbon, second son of form- er King Alfonso of Spain, told the Associated Press tonight that mem- bers of the immediate Royal family knew nothing of reports of papal dis- solution of the marriage of former King Alfonso and the former Queen Victoria. (The London newspaper Sunday Referee said it had learned on “high authority” the marriage had been an- nuled by the Tribunal of Rota without publicity.) ‘The princess, & French-American girl of noble birth, was married to Don Jaime in sumptuous ceremonies here last Spring. Speaking by telephone from the hotel suite which houses the former king’s chancellery, she said “if the marriage has been annuled by His Holiness, we at least know nothing of it.” The princess arrived here yesterday with her husband, They are the only A \Is Denied by Alfonso’s F amily members of the Spanish Royal family at present in Rome. She intimated that if the marriage had been dissolved her husband would have known it immediately.

LONDON, September 8 (Sunday) (#).—The newspaper Sunday Referee today printed a story on “high au- thority” that Pope Pius had annuled the marriage of former King Alfonso and former Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain. The newspaper said the an- nulment had been handed down in the Holy Roman Rota, a procedure which excludes publicity in any form. ‘The belief was expressed by the paper that the former Queen will con- tinue to live in London.

A breathing spell, in common par- | lance, is likely to be followed by & good pummeling.

First, that he will not press further legislation regarding business until after the next campaign or even later. Second, that the breathing spell is, after all, to be of only a few months’ duration, and that Congress will be expected to put through a new law 'governing business to take the place of the de- funct N.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 7.— Two gypsy women sleight-of-hand artists were $50 and a hospital treat- ment to the good tonight because a staff physician at the Alexandria Hospital permitted them to tell his fortune “in appreciation” for the doctor’s services.

A second protest from the German government resulted yesterday from the July riot in which the Nazi flag was ripped from the mast of the Bremen—this one because of remarks attributed to the New York City magistrate who freed five men in- volved in the melee. Like the other, the State Depart- ment promised to investigate. Yes- terday’s protest was made by Ambas- sador Hans Luther under instructions from the German foreign office.

Brodsky’s Comments. ‘The understanding here was ‘that Ambassador Luther objected to re- | marks about the Nazi flag that were attributed to Magistrate Louis B | Brodsky. The magistrate spoke of opinions held by “the defendants and others of our citizenry” that the Nazi flag flying in American territory had been provocation for the riot. | He said some citizens appeared to have been provoked through “flaunt- ing of an emblem which symbolizes | all that is antithetical to American ideals of the God-given and inalien- able right of all peoples to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Brodsky also was quoted as express- ing views held by “others” that “the prominent display of this emblem even carried with it the same sinister im- plications as a pirate ship, sailing deflantly into the harbor of a nation, one of whose ships it had just scuttled, with the black flag of piracy proudly fiying aloft.” ‘While the German government made no reference to the freeing of the five men charged with having torn down the Bremen's flag and thrown it in the Hudson River, it was said the New York magistrate’s re- marks could not be overlooked. Germany protested against the in- sult to the flag immediately after the Bremen riot occurred. tary of State Phillips replied that the steamship line officials’ failure to co- operate with the police after warn- ings of s possible demonstration had been largely responsible for the riot.
