first passenger train out of the Capi

under electric power.
For about a year the electrified
section between New York and Wil

test cars only have been run from
Wilmington south. The trip tomor

10:42 and Philadelphia at 12:15. The
return trip will be made almost im
mediately.

Ickes, as public works administrator
said:
“Departure of this train establish

Nation’s largest metropolis is an
achievement.
“It not only shows what can and
should be done under the President’s
recovery program, but demonstrates
what actually has been accomplished
under P. W. A. when private initia

"The railroad co-operated with the
President and the P. W. A. to the
fullest extent and in every possible
way in the drive to take men off the

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, January 26.
—Mr. Slgvard Bemadotte will sail for
Hollywood early next month to study
the American manner of making
movies.
As plain Mr. Bemadotte. he prob
ably wouldn't be much news.
As the son df King Gustaf of Swe

willingly foreswore his royal title and
privileges for the love of that petite
commoner, Erika Patzek of Berlin, he
should get more attention.
The dapper young ex-prince, who

March despite all efforts of his family
to dissuade him.
The King’s second son, no stranger

an appeal to the State Health De
partment at Jackson, reported that
“things are about aa satisfactory as
can be expected under the circum
stances.”
In the court house, refugees are
making temporary homes out of of
fices and the court room on the
second floor. Churches and theaters
are crowded with rufugees.
Menace Moves South.
With the flood danger shifting,
farmers living in the bottomlands near
Lambert, Miss., 4 miles south, and
Crowder, are evacuating. Lambert, a
town of 900, was not flooded, but the
water was rising.
Sledge was drying out today, and
unless the town gets too much back
water from the Tallahatchie, the town
will be clear by Monday. About 600
refugees are quartered there.
At Darling, where 600 homeless are
being cared for, the water was reced
ing.
Most of the families are tenant
farmers. Their only hope is for a
merciful recession of the water that
will leave them a few belongings with
which to make another start.
Mr. Ralph Wheatley, Associated
Press staff writer, inspected the area
between Marks and Crenshaw today
from a motor railroad car.
Wait (or Relief.
On the tracks, running as a line of
life and hope to thousands of natives
driven from their homes, were humans,
white and colored, old and young,
living with their dogs, mules, hogs and
cows battling with cold and hunger
and paitently awaiting relief.
The right of way was strewn with
animals frozen to death, and with box
cars In which families huddled. On
any spot above the water humans
were congregated. The thud of motor
boats flowing through the backwater
could be heard as the courageous
boatmen brought out stranded fam
ilies or took in food to those who re
fused to leave their shanties.
Find Bodies in Houses.
Boatmen left the bodies they found
in houses.
“We were after live folks,” they
said. "We couldn’t take time to bring
out bodies.”
Each town reported some deaths,
but an accurate count of the dead
may never be made.
One boatman saw bodies of three
colored persons in a house on a float
ing bed where they had frozen; an
other say the body of a dead colored
man on the porch of a shack; an
other told of a colored man and woman
drowning from the upset of a stable
feed trough In which they were try
ing to float out.
A few deaths of white persons were
reported, but the heaviest toll was
j among the colored. Today the Red
Cross, under the direction of George
E. Myer, assistant director of disaster,
from Washington, had arranged to
feed, clothe and house thousands of
families driven to concentration cen
ters.
Plans were being made to feed the
live stock found on railroad embank
ments, but Myer estimated that 75
per cent of the live stock in the area
had perished.
Cold Frightens Natives,
Before help came, the rescuers told
harrowing tales of suffering and fright
of the natives. These basin dwellers
had been accustomed to high water,
but they had not been accustomed to
snow, ice and freezing weather. They
had all of these combined and fdr
this reason this flood produced more
hardships than any other.
The water caught the natives un
prepared. It rose up around their
homes within a few hours and without
warning. It caught them without
boats and without sufficient food and
fuel.
Boatmen told of women and little
children standing on their porches in
a foot of water begging to be taken
aboard. The boatmen worked rapidly
and courageously and did heroic work
in the dead of night and in Ice-cov
ered water.
After they had been brought to high
ground, the refugees took their situ
ation phllosophicallv.
Colored Man Is Hero.
John Little, colored, probably was
the hero of the flood. He may lose
some fingers from frostbite, but he
would do the same thing again.
When the water hit Crenshaw,
there were no boats and many fami
lies faced drowning. John heard there
was a big boat three miles away. He
took the little pirogue and in the
dead of night and at freezing tem
perature rowed through the icy waters,
dug the cars out ot the ice with his
Angers and rowed the boat back to
Crenshaw, where white men used It
to bring out 100 people.
But Little's hands were frozen and
his clothes had to be cut from his
body, the flesh of his arms cracked
and his finger tips may drop off. He
is being given the best of care and is
looked upon as a hero by Crenshaw
people.
At Sledge, Thomas Allison, a store
keeper, threw the doors of his store
open and Invited any hungry person
to come in and help himself, a
thousand families of refugees were re
ported In this area. The water was
falling today, but it was still 1 to 2
feet deep in the streets.
water missed Crenshaw proper.
but the thickly settled rural section
to the west was drowned out.
Hog Rides Log.
Rescuers told stories of animals
saving themselves in most peculiar
™ys- A bl8 fat hog rode a log for
Julies before it struck high ground.
Two little dogs were seen floating on
a raft. Chickens perched on house
tops and on top of automobiles.
Horses, mules and cows swam to
safety, but many of them, exhausted
and starved, died of cold after they
had reached high ground.
Woman nurses, full of pluck and
daring, moved through the zone of
handcars and boats with their kits,
fighting against the spread of disease
and caring for the sick and exposed.
The most pathetic cases were those
of children. Many a little boy and
girl was brought in nearly frozen to
death. They literally had to be
thawed out.
In two more weeks, It Is estimated,
about all of the families will be re
stored to their homes and they wlU
go forward with Spring planting with
the full expectation that the water
will come again next year. They are
lured to this country by the fertility
of the soil, comparable to the Nile,
and they are willing to take chances
with the high water. Each time the
high water comes and recedes the
land becomes richer for cotton and
corn. The residents hope some day
the Government will run the water

into the Mississippi River from the
Coldwater Basin, but they will stay
here anyhow.
RESERVOIRS URGED.
The immediate construction of
seven reservoirs, to prevent future
flood ravages like those bringing
“tragic deaths” and "extreme suffer
ing” in Northwestern Mississippi was
urged yesterday by Representative
Whittington, Democrat, of Mississippi.
This work, he said, would cost
about $50,000,000. He recommended
that it be included in the $4,880,000,
000 public works relief program.
Whittington's suggestion came after
a statement by Chairman Wilson,
Democrat, of Louisiana of the House
Flood Control Committee that hear
ings would be called promptly on his
measure to authorize $200,000,000 ap
propriation for flood control work
and for use in emergencies for flood
protection wherever human lives and
property are endangered.
Wilson said in many parts of the
country cities could be protected per
manently from the menace of floods
by expenditure of only a few thousand
dollars in each locahty.

(Copyright, 1035. by the Associated Press.)
ST. PAUL, Minn., January 26.—A
denial that he participated in the
$200,000 kidnaping of Edward G.
Bremer was made tonight by Arthur
(Doc) Barker in an interview from his
solitary confinement cell, as he dis
played body bruises he claimed were
caused by Federal agents.
“I was in Chicago with my mother
and brother the day of the kidnaping,
and I can prove it,” said Barker,
member of the Karpis-Barker gang.
"And it’s lie. too, that I double
crossed my mother and brother by
tipping off the Feds that they were
in Florida."
Fred Barker and “Ma" Barker were
slain by Federal officers at Oklawaha,
Fla., January 16.
Harold Nathan, assistant director
of the Justice Department Investiga
tion Division, informed of Barker’s
charges that he was beaten, branded
the allegations "absurd."
"I was coming out of a Chicago
apartment about 6 o’clock the night
of January 8,” Barker said, “when
the Feds nabbed me.
"I was in Florida with my brother
and mother about 10 days before I
was picked up in Chicago. And I
didn’t know that my mother and
brother were killed until I got to St.
Paul.”

GOLD CASES BELIEVED
READY FOR DECISION
Impression Strengthened by Fail
ure of Supreme Justices to
Confer Testerday.
By the Associated Press.
The impression among Capital ob
servers that the Supreme Court has
reached an agreement on the gold
clause cases was strengthened yester
day by the failure of the justices to
hold their customary Saturday con
ference.
By long practice, Saturdays have
been set aside by the justices to dis
cuss cases ready for decision in an
attempt to reach an agreement on
them.
The court Is In recess now to allow
it to prepare opinions on the cases
already argued. Ordinarily, the fail
ure of the justices to confer on Satur
day during a recess means they have
reached an understanding on pend
ing cases and that only preparation
of the written opinion remains.
If an agreement has been reached
in the gold cases, the result probably
will be announced February 4.

amendment, while eight speakers last
night advocated repeal of the clause
which forces dismissal of either hus
band or wife in reduction of the forces
of Government agencies.
The sessions this morning will be
devoted to the interests of business
and professional women, and the
luncheon meeting will be given over
to international feminism, with several
leading feminists addressing the group.
Speakers last night included Mrs.

WORKERS’ BALLOT
PROTESTED BY A. F. L.
Organizer Tells Secretary Perkins
Auto Board Dominates
Union Men.
By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, January 26.—A protest
against further elections among au
tomotive workers to establish a col
lective bargaining agency, made to
Secretary of Labor Perkins by F. J.
Dillon, American Federation of Labor
organizer In the industry, today fol
lowed the announcement of election
results by the Automobile Labor
Board.
The board's announcement, which
Included figures showing that 34.273
workers of the 38,336 who had voted
so far in plant elections had no affil
iation with a labor organization, was
almost simultaneous with that of Wil
liam. Green. president of the federa
tion, in Washington that the A. F.
of L. was withdrawing from the board.
Dillon’s letter to Secretary Perkins
charged that "this board is today re
sponsible for and. If not actually en
couraging. certainly not opposing, the
development by the automobile in
dustry of this country of a national
company dominated, controlled and
financed union, designed to destroy
American Federation of Labor inde
pendent organizations."
The board had announced that "the
numbers voting in the primary elec
tions so far held constitute 90 per
cent of those eligible to vote and 93
per cent of those working on the day
of the election.”
The board’s report said that 1,847
workers, or "slightly more than 5 per
cent,” recorded themselves as affili
ated with the American Federation of
Labor. This brought from Dillon a
statement that “the fact 34,273 voters
refused to reveal their affiliation” was
significant "because the A. F. of L.
advised them not to reveal their affil
iation.”

Reports Reveal America
Blocked Efforts to Get
Chinese Eastern. *
(Copyright. 1935. by the Associated Press.)
Japan's undercover effort* to obtain
control of the Chinese Eastern Rail
way 16 years ago and America’s suc
cessful opposition to them were re
vealed yesterday In hitherto unpub
lished State Department correspond
ence.
A series of confidential cablegrams,
notes and memoranda, covering the
period between January 9 and De
cember 4, 1919, showed that Japan
tried to acquire the railroad through
diplomatic, technical and financial
maneuvers.
The United States made representa
tions which apparently checkmated
the Japanese moves in Tokio and
Peking.
Deal Now Near Success.
The railway, which runs through
Manchoukuo and is a strategic link
between Asia and Europe, was being
operated by an interallied commis
sion during the period covered by
the 1919 communications.
Japan’s persistent attempts to se
cure control of the road now apparent
ly are approaching success, news dis
patches from Tokio reporting an
agreement for sale of Soviet Russia’s
share to Manchoukuo for approxi
mately $50,000,000. Manchoukuo has
seized China’s interest.
John F. Stevens, American chair
man of the interallied commission,
reported Japanese plans in 1919 in a
series of cablegrams to Roland S.
j Morris, Ambassador to Japan. The
j reports were forwarded to the State
j Department. They were revealed
1 through the department's publication
of foreign affairs papers.
Seizure Once Feared.
Stevens on April 17 cabled his con
cern that Japanese troops might take
forcible possession of the line, change
the gauge over part of it and dis
credit allied and American efforts to
operate and maintain the railway
pending organization of a stable Rus
sian government.
He reported on September 25 that
he was positive that Atamen Semenov
of the Far Eastern Cossacks and
I Atamen Kalmykov of the Ussuri Cos
> sacks had plans to seize the railway
: and had the secret support of the
Japanese.
j “I am positive,” Stevens cabled,
j ‘‘Semenov and Kalmykov Intend to
; take possession Chinese Eastern by
force and with Japanese soldiers now
on ground could do so, as improbable
Chinese would fight. This action will
| be fatal blow to our good offices,
j There is some reason to believe that
j Chinese government may be asked to
i appoint Semenov director of Chinese
1 Eastern, which ought not be per
i mitted.”
Envoys Told to Intercede.
The State Department instructed
the American envoys in Tokio and
Peking to take up the question with
the Japanese and Chinese govern
ments.
As a result, the interallied com
mission retained control of the
! Chinese Eastern until it was turned
| over to joint control of Soviet Rus
sia and China.
Stevens’ plan for operation of the
Chinese Eastern lines as a unified
system met with opposition from
the Japanese almost from the begin
ning, the correspondence reveals, and
culminated in a demand that the
latter be given sole control of the
Chinese Eastern lines.
This was rejected and then came
a charge there was a plot to juggle
the railroad’s financial condition and
make it necessary to secure loans
from Japanese banks.
