(By Associated Press)
NEW ORLEANS, May 23.-A wall
of flood water almost 20 miles wide
tonight was beginning to reach the
upper extremities of Grand lake in
its movement to the Gulf of Mexico.
Grand lake is situated at the mouth
of the Atchafalaya river splitting
Iberia parish and with but a narrow
neck of land separating it from the
Gulf of Mexico.
Behind it stretches the lake of 200
miles from the south central parishes
along the gulf to the upper tier along
the Arkansas line. Its width varies
from 15 to 50 miles as it poured fun-
nel like from the Tensas basin in
northeastern Louisiana, where it cov-
ered 'an area two parishes wide,
through the crevasses along the
Bayou Des Glaises, in the western
Atchafalaya river basin according to
a width of one parish.
Bureau Reports Rise
The New Orleans weather bureau
estimated today that the flood surface
along the line between it and Mel-
ville was about 42 feet above mean
gulf level and that the water still was
rising although at a diminished rate.
The flood waters are approximately
100 miles west of New'Orleans on the
west side of the Atchafalaya river and
the Bayou Des, Glaises breaks, through
which they are rushing, are about 150
miles west of New Orleans and on the
opposite side of the Mississippi river.
Immediately behind the advancing
waters scores of residents of the low-
er Atchafalaya were being rescued by
tiny boats which plow through the
currents to take them from house-
tops to which they had fled. Scores of
persons, unable to remain in their
homes, were living on levees where
they had found safety after the first
rush of the waters.
Along the upper extremity of the
lake, planters were reassembling their
tenants who had been forced'to flee
several weeks ago when breaks oc-
curred in levees along the west bank
of the Mississippi at Glasscock and
Mulliken Bend.
Immediately before the flood, fleets
of trucks were speeding over roads
soon to be submerged, removing fam-
ilies. Cowboys on cattle ponies from
western Louisiana and Texas ranches,
sped here and there rounding up cat-
tle and taking them to safety on high
ground.
Camp Population Grows
The population of refugee concen-
trating camps was growing. More
than a thousand had reached the
camps at Lafayette during the day
and it was estimated that at the pres-
ent rate of growth, the camp would
have 20,000 persons'by the end of the
week.
Rains which swept the flood district
the last several days have ceased.
Camps quickly were drained of water
and men and women who had been
forced to flee from the camps to their
homes only to seek a second refuge
from the .rains were returning.
The levees at McCrea on the east
bank of the Atchafalaya, about 120
miles northwest of New Orleans on
the west side of the Mississippi river,
still were holding-tonight but more
than 2,000 men were engaged in the
battle against the sweeping current.
FOOTBALL TICKET
ALLOTMENT MADE
Student tickets allotments for the
football games to be played nex
fall at the new Michigan stadium
were decided at the Board in Contro
of Athletics meeting Saturday.
The dedication game with Ohio
Oct. 23. will have a limitation of two
tickets, while applications for three
seats will be honored for the Navy
game, and four for Minnesota.
For the practice game with Ohi
Wesleyan, which opens the season
tickets will be unlimited, and unre
served. The seats for the Michiga
State cglege game will also be un
limited, but will be reserved.
"Charles Evans Hughes, former as-
sociate justice of the Supreme Court
and Secretary of State, in a state-
nant issued Saturday in which he re-
gards himself too old to 'run for
president again, even if the Repub-
lican nomination were tendered to
him, hs indeed made a statement
worth consideration," Paul 1M. Cun-
cannon, of the political science de-
partment, averred in an interview
yesterday.
Mr. Hughes' statement, which said
that he was for President Coolidge
"first, last, and all the time" since
he himself was too old, was issued
after various newspapers had print-
ed reports that at a n:_reeting of
financial interests in New York, steps
were taken to urge his candidacy if
RUSSIAN ISSUE COMES
TO FR9E IN ENGLAN
Differences In House Of Commons
And Cabinet Spread Rumors
Of Diplomatic Break
HAVE FEARS FOR INDIA
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 23-The House of
Commons tonight was buzzing with
speculation on the outcome of today's
Cabinet council, as it is known that
considerable difference of opinion ex-
ists among the ministers on the pol-
icy toward Russia, and it is also gen-
erally admitted that Sir Austen Cham-
berlain, the foreign secretary, has
hardene his attitude on the subject.
Although it is possible that only the
trade agreement will be denounced,
the best informed opinion tonight in-
clines to the belief that the statement
by Sir William Joynston-Hicks, in be-
half of the government, in the Com-
mons tomorrow, will herald the com-
plete rupture of diplomatic as well as
trade relations.
It is believed that after the home
secretary has made his statement re-
telling the results of thes recent raid
on: Arcos, Ltd., the Russian trade or-
ganization, Premier Baldwin will make
a brief statement on the general po-
sition of relations with Russia. It is
expected that the ministers will meet
again this -morning for further dis-
cussion, before appearing in Parlia-
ment with their final decision.
But it is stated with an air of au-
thority that the reply to Moscow's
protest note will be couched in such
terms that the. Soviet government vir-
tually will be compelled to recall its
diplomatic mission from London.
The Westminster Gazette under-
stands that the Cabinet has decided
not only to denounce the Russian
trade agreement, but also sever all
diplomatic relations with the Soviet,
and that the text of Sir Austen Cham-
berlain's reply to Moscow's protest
against the raid will make this clear.
r The paper adds that the statement
in the Commons tomorrow would be
made by Premier Baldwin himself, and
not as previously arranged, by Sir
William Joynston-Hicks.
The Gazette also hears that the for-
eign offee regrets that is has been
necessary to break relations and that
even Lord Birkenhead, who is strong-
ly anti-Russian. was not a warm sup-
porter of the rupture; he, as secre-
tary for India, having apprehension
respecting the special position of In-
dia.

S PITTSiWRGII, Kansas, May 23
- A ornado was reported to have
struck Fuilton, Kansas, twelve
miles north of Fort Scott, early
t tonight. Details were lacking as
I all wires were down.
The tornado missed Fort Scott
and was reported travelling from
the northwest towards 'RichiRill,
Missouri.
lany trees were blown down in

President Coolidge should not runJ
again.J
"Such a statement is very curious,"
Mr. Cuncannon said, "and we may
regard it in several different lights.
Mr. Hughes has said that he is too
old for the presidency and would not
accept the nomination if it were
tendered to him, still no one has
ever turned down the nomination and
it is unlikely that Mr. Hughes would
do such) a thing. Mr. Hughes at 65'
is in as good physical condition as
the average man of 55, and even at]
that age is younger than Frank 0.
Lowden, former governor of Illinois, I
and the expected opponent of Presi-|
dent Coolidge in the 1928 Republican
nomination.
"On the other hand, Mr. Hughes'
statemrent may be a valuable asset
to Coolidge's chances in the election
and as it now is, Hughes has the1
support of financial interests of New
York.
"In considering the possibilities of
the various candidates in the elec-
tion," Mr. Cuncannon concluded, "I
expect Coolidge to be renominated
over Mr. Lowden and to be elected
over Governor Al Smith, the logical
candidate of the Democratic party."

LINDBERGH IGNORES OWN TRIUMPH
IN REGRETTING LOSS OF FRENCHMEN
(By Associated Press)1
PARIS, May 23-Captain Charles
A. Lindbergh, making his first flight
in oratory on this'side of the Atlantic, 1
today modestly ignored his own tri-
umph to express profound regret for
the loss of Captains Nungesser and<
Coli "who undertook something far
greater than the flight from New York
to Paris."1
His little speech, just three sen-
tences, was made when the Aero club
gave him its great gold medal and an-1
nounced that Madam Deutsch Meurthe
widow of the former president of the
club, had sent a check for about 150,-

LONDON, May 23.-The steam-
ship Oilfield reports having sight- t
ed a schooner towing an airplanet
tonight southwest of the Azores. t
(There is a possibility that this a
may be Commander De Pinedo'
plane, missing since the takeoff t
early today from Trepassy, N. F.) t
Details of the airplane could a
not be obtained. The time of w
starting was 11:30 p. m., (Green- t
wich mean time) May 23. The p9-
sition was latitude 41.06, longi-L
tmde 33.39.
The position indicated, which is t
considerably southwest of the g
Azores means that if this is DeC
Pinedo's plane, tie Italian flier G
was far out of his course. Y
A government radio receivedP
from the Aquitanaa says:N
"The steamship Oilflield, latituden

towing an airplane, steering east.

He was favored with a light west

and then headed southeast losing him-
self in the morning mists in a short
time. I
Refreshed by a long rest, and re-|
conciled to two previous delays which I
served to put him behind his sche-
dule, de Pinedo was confident of reach-F
ing his destination only two days late,
May 26 instead of May 24.
Thus far he has survived the trip
across the broad south Atlantic, over
the impenetrable jungles of South
America, and over the vast stretches
of the Carribean into Arizona. The
most perilous part of the entire flight
is ahead of him, the fogs of the Grand
Bank.
