500 TRY
TO SAVE DIKE
Utah Dam Threatens
To Destroy Homes
Of 12000 People
SALT LAKK CITY. Utah. May 22.-
tA*>—An additional forca ©f 200 moo
from the mine* of Price and Helper
have arrived at the Scofield Dam 130
mile* south of here and with the
united efforts of the 300 men already
working there collapse of the dike
may be prevented Claude L. Mc-
Cracken. new* editor of the Pritc
News-Advocate declared upon his ai-
rival here from the dam late last
night.
A special dispatch to the Salt Lake
Tribune at 11 o'clock last night stated
that the dam probably would go out
within two hours.
Should the dam crumble McCrack-
en said 00.000 acre feet of water
will inundate about 50.000 acres of
farm land and wash out about 750
homes from the hillside* along >ta
thirty-two mile course from the di*>u
to price McCracken said that the
more than 12000 resident* of the dis-
trict were prepared to take to the
hills should a break occur.
The structure is located at an el«
vation of 7750 feet and the elevation
at Price is 5.750 feet.
Situated below the dike is Pleasant
Valley a narrow precipitous g«r„©
stretching ten miles. Pleasant Vai-
ley connects with Price canyou of
practically the same formation. A
valley four miles wide connecting
with Price canyou culminates a<
Price.
AnprOximately 2.000 homes perrh
upon shelves of the two narow can-
yons. some of which are too high to
he reached by flood waters. Below
in the Valley are the farm lands in-
undation of which is feared.

Two Injured In
Auto Accidents
MISSION*. May 22.-Two icrious
auto accidents was the record for
Mission Sunday and Monday. The
first occurred early Sunday morn-
ing when a car with three occupants
was ditched to avoid crashing into
a car which was being driven along
the highway west of town without
lights.
The driver of the car Thoburn
Grove was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and taken to the
McAllen hospital. His back is be-
lieved to be broken. The young man
is raralyzed from the hips down.
Other occupants of the car were net
injured.
The second accident occurred
Monday afternoon when the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Covington
who reside on East Tenth street ran
directly in front of a car on Lomita
boulevard. The child was knocked
down and severely bruised but it
i« not thought her injuries are ser-
ious.
WILL SUPPORT
(Continued from page one)
he sa d that the paramount question
cf the convention was whether Tex-
as democrats "are with Governor
Moody or Governor Alfred E. Smith.”
Former Governor James E. Fergu-
son of the Smith group moved to
substitute both the Dean and Collins
nominations by nominating E. A.
Berry of Houston but the move was
repudiated by John Boyle of San An-
tonio. C-ntral Tetfas Smith leader.
“Jim Ferguson has no authority to
nominate Berry for the Smith group.”
Boyle shouted. He then seconded
Governor Moody’s nomination of
Dean.
Governor Moody leaped up and ges-
ticulated to the crowd when Boyle
denounced Ferguson. The audience
cheered.
Dwight Lewellyn of Dallas made an
mpassioned speech seconding the
Collins nomination but most of it was
lost in minified jeers and cheers
which Chairmen P. W. Wilcox was
powerless to -p.
Mrs. J. K. Ploodworth of Galveston
reconded the Dean nomination as did
Myron Blalock of Marshall and Mrs.
J. D. Senior of Dallas.
Mrs. Josephine Collins of Pallas
official of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union seconded the Col-
lins nomination.
The hall nas cool and the crowd
seemd in exhuberant spirits. Noise
was rampant.
