Richardson fled and as he ran was inspired with an idea to which he probably owes his life. Remembering a fairy tale he had read as a child, in which the sorcerer halted his enemies by throwing magic powder in their faces, Dr. Richardson did the same with a handful of money. The soldiers stopped to pick it up, and he escaped. With another man and three women he hid in a tiny hut.

Bullets passed through flimsy walls repeatedly, luid soldiers peered inside, but did not see the refugees.

Extreme Lower Atchafalaya Valley Only Area Affected By Water WATER LEVEL SINKING I AS FLOOD HITS GULF Slight Rise At Morgan City Attributed To Wind Blow-I ing- To North NEW ORLEANS, June 3. (AP)-r With danger of rising waters definitely confined to the extreme lower Atchafalaya river basin and refugee work virtually completed in all sections, the flood situation in Louisiana tonight was about to pass completely from the emergency stage into that of rehabilitation. LEVEES STRENGTHENED Protection levees at Berwick and Dormer in the vicinity of Morgan City, about 110 miles west of New Orleans, were holding against the increasing pressure of slowly rising waters, but with hasty reinforcement work in progress, little fear was held for the safety of the two towns. In a special flood bulletin today the weather bureau here said flood waters in the Tensas and upper' Atchafalaya river basins will continue to fall and that localities in Louisiana can be safely rehabilitated as the waters receded. The rise in the Mississippi river will prolong the flood in some sections, but will not cause further rise in fercus" from which waters its- cede, the bulletin stated.

In the western Atchafalaya basin the flood is receding rapidly, while its stage in the eastern basin has been af fected materially by a decrease in the overflow from the crevasses on the Atchafalaya river at McCrea. Water now emptying Into the basin through the crevasse is estimated at 120,000 cubic feet per second, about one third of the volume which poured through during the first two days, following the break. WIND CAUSES RAIN The Atchafalaya at Morgan City has registered three tenths of a foot rise during the past 24 hours, out this was attributed to southerly winds which are impeding the flow into the Gulf of Mexico. The weather bureau has lowered by one foot its prediction ot the crest at Morgan city, wnicn it now states may reach 10 to 11 feet on the river gauge June 10 to id. The lower Atchafalaya Hood has set up variable slopes, due to the volume of water carried eff by the river at Morgan City and to the influence of winds and tides.

At Chacahoula, 40 miles east of Morgan City, the flood level is more than a foot higher than on the river gauge. From Chacahoula to Donner the level drops three tenths of a foot and thence to Morgan City is a slope of eight tenths of a foot. North of Morgan City flood waters have been dammed up by the great flood streams are pouring into the Atchafalaya from east and west. Financial Assistance In Valley Is Planned WASHINGTON, June 3. (AP) A fund of $1,750,000 will be made available by American business interests to supplement existing credit facilities for rehabilitation of agriculture in the Mississippi flood region.

This plan, which includes organization of a corporation to administer the fund, was evolved today at a meeting of leading business men sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce. Secretary Hoover, who was present, estimated the economic loss occasioned by the flood at $200,000,000 to $400,000,000. Chairman Eugene Meyer, of the federal farm loan board, also attended. President Coolldge was immediately notified of the action taken.

(AP) Clarence D. Chamberlin, after examining weather reports, annouriced shortly after midnight that he would take off for Europe in the Bellahca monoplane at 4 a. m. GOING TO EUROPE Chamberlin did not say what his destination was to be, but said he would fly as far into Europe as his fuel would permit. He would not name the navigator who is to accompany him, but said he was not going to attempt the flight alone.

Carl F. Schory, of the National Aeronautical association, arrived at the field midnight and proceeded at once to install and seal the barograph which will indicate the duration of the flight. Reports from the weather bureau at midnight indicated favorable flying weather up the Atlantic seaboard, over Nova Scotia and New Foundland, with favorable winds prevailing over the entire route to the Irish coast. Fog and rain northeast of New Foundland, the report said, could be avoided by steering a course somewhat south of the Great Circle. READY TO START When Chamberliri arrived at the Bellanca hangar at 11:20 to announce his readiness to attempt the trans-Atlantic flight, he had been awaki since 9 a.

Friday and faced the prospect of remaining awake until he lands. Asked if he should find himself approaching Europe off the coast of Spain whether he would continue on to Rome, the pilot replied in the affirmative. It was regarded as most probable that the Columbia would seek to reach the Irish coast, however, and if possible fly to Berlin, thereby exceeding the non-stop mileage record of Captain Charles A. Lindbergh on his New York to Paris flight. CATCHES 40 WINKS Shortly after 1:30 a.

Chamberlain went to the Garden City hotel and orders were issued that he was not to be disturbed until 3:30 a. m. At the hangar, the nlane was helncf attached to the trucks which will tow it to Roosevelt field from which point the monoplane will take off.

Summerall Avers Preparedness To Guarantee Peace General, Speaking In Charleston, Advocates Complete Preparedness IN FOOL'S PARADISE CHARLESTON, June 3. (AP) Not until the world knows the United States is prepared for war will there be guaranteed peace, Major General Charles P. Summerall, chief of staff United States army and graduate of the Porter Academy here, class of 1885, said in an address before a joint meeting of the Chamber of Com merce, the Rotary, Kiwanis, Exchange and Lions clubs here today.

NEED PROTECTION "We are living in a fool's paradise at the present time, he asserted. There is nothing, ne aeciarea, to snow that the future win not be a repeti' tion of the past. War will follow war and the nation will continue to pay, he said, unless the resources oi tin United States are utiuzed in national defense. The trouble with the people, he avowed, is their total ignorance of what war really is. He aennea war as a means of peace, declaring that this country has had ample time to profit through past experiences, and to understand that being every ready is the only sure way to avert war.

with tne country united, recogniz ing war as it. is, understanding that preparedness is a guarantee against repetition, there will be no renewal ot the tragedies we have seen in the past, but not until then," he said. POLICIES UNWISE General Summerall called disarma ment unwise, terming it a barrier to peace. He cited his enorts toward an adequate plan of national defense, and said the people will be responsible for future wars. He asserted that there is no econ omy in a disarmament policy since it means douDied expense wnen tne inevitable wars which come to an unprepared nation arrive.

General Summerall declared the World war was sufficient evidence of the foolishness of so-called economy through a lack of preparedness. He cited the heavy war debts. In conclusion, he said: "If this land is to remain ours, we must be worthy of the sacrifices of our ancestors. We must be ready at any moment to protect it thoroughly."

I know he is innocent, and I know that you are probably the one man sufficiently skilled in the law to save him.

"Will you do it? Will you make good the promise of your son?" "And of course, I told her I would," Darrow said today, explaining he had not yet seen the rsmrrt of the trial.

Games then followed service until the eleventh, when Tilden broke through to win it at love.

(AP) Clarence Darrow has agreed to use his efforts on behalf of a condemned Vermont slayer and thus make good a promise made by Darrow's son to the condemned man's family 23 years ago. An age yellow paper induced the noted Chicago defender who has all but retired from law practice, again to employ his skill In behalf of one facing death for murder. It was given in 1904 to Arthur Cooley, then and now chef at Dartmouth Hanover, N. by Paul Darrow, the lawyer's son.

Young Darrow was attending the college and while driving his horse and buggy ran down and killed Cooley's five-year-old son. Moved by the grief of the child's mother, Paul gave Cooley a note which said: "If ever any member of the Darrow family can be of aid.
