Republican leaders resumer ne- gotiations today for a compromise | which would meet the views of President Coolidge, but little pro- gress was reported. Representative Tilson, republican floor leader, said that if flood con- trol leaders ;agree to remove the three major features to which President Coolidge objects in the Jones fload measure, as passed hy | the senate, the administration will be willing for the federal govern- ment to stand the entire cost of the project. Tilson's statement came after he conferred with President Coolidge at the White House today. Tilson said the modifications which the president insists upon are: That a limit be placed upon ex- penditures involved in the flood control measure.

That local communitics guarantee vee spillw. “Mr. Coolidge’s firm stand against the senate measure has been of | tal but it bounced and the tail | of the machine hit the sheep. 1| Reveals WILL PAY 10 MILLION RORABAGK T0 SETTLE UP DEBTS Widow and Daughter of J.
