VALLEY AREA
BROWNSVILLE, Ter., "Sept. 11-
(AP)—The flood menace to fertile
agricultural lands on the American
side of the Rio Grande wa* material-
ly reduced today after the crest of
the high water swirled past Hidalgo
without liavlng strained the levee
system to the breaking point.
Inadequately protected lands on
the Mexican *lde of the swollen bor-
der stream, however, were iuyndated
in the vicinity of Matamoroa pnd
Reynosa-
More than 1S00 men continued to
pat Ml the huge flood control works
guarding the American aide agaflMfr
Posslhle breaks as the muddy tor-
rent rolled toward the gti|f of Mex-
ico. The river was falling at Hidal-
go after reaching a peak atage there
of SB.2 feet.
Some danger still existed in the
extreme lower valley, the river's
stage at Brownsville being around
IS-Brfeet. practically n«> high as the
peak during the disastrous flood laat
year when thousands of acres were
deluged because • of levee breaks.
The atage at Brownsville had been
18.6 feet since "Wednesday night.
The flood control works, packed sol-
idly by rains accompanying a hurri-
cane that hit the v tower valley laat
Monday and Tuesday, were function-
ing perfectly and there was no canae
fTor alarm, according to W E. An-
derson, consulting engineer for the
International boundary commission-
Mayor E. H. Marks of the board of
army engineers agreed with Ander
son. i '■
Thousands of acroa of low-lying
Mexican farmlands add ranohes were
under water west of Reynosa, Mex-
ican resort cjjty opposite Hidolgo-
"Hie watt* backed up three or four
miles from the river- Reynosa it-
self, located on a bluff, was out of
reach of the water but Was cut off.
Its Inhabitants were amply supplied
with food and water-
Water had broken over the river
bank and was spreading around Mat-
amoros but hnd not entered the city
yet- During previous severe floods
the lowlands around Matamoro* have
been uttder water and parts of the
Outlying section of the city inun
dated. Early last week levees up
the river from Matamoroa were dyna-
mited by Mexican authorities to al-
low water to flow Into the Arroyo
Del Tigre and relieve the pressure on
levees near the city.
On the American aide much of
tho flood water was diverted through
floodwayR traversing Hidalgo and
Willacy counties. High water had
reached Mercedes In the flood way and
was expected to flow down the Ar-
royo Colorado near Harlingen- La-
test reporla from Mercedes, 35 mile*
upstream from Brownsville, said the
river stage wa* stationary there.
This was taken as an indication that
the creat of the flood was In that
vicinity.

MAINE DRY
FOR 75 YEARS
TO VOTE ON
REPEAL WAY
PORTLAND, Mo-, Sept. 11. (AP)
— Maine's polling booths opened to-
day for a vote on repeal of;the ISth
anjendmelit which most observer*
looked upon as a. preliminary sklrm-
iah hi a fight by repoaJist* to wipe
the state bono dry laws from the
conclitution.
. Anti-repeal leaders were not hes-
itant in saying tlie.v s;«w a possible
threat to the more than 75 year* of
state prohibition in the event Maine
today should join the 25 other
states which already have signified
disapproval of the federal prohibi-
tory lawa.
While the state supreme court
ruled the constitutional convention
on repeal must bo u delilterative
body truly representative of the peo-
ple. there was no assurance it nuces-
satily would Is? representative of the
people's will by today's vote-
Eighty delegates will be chosen
from thp Itt counties. Listed with-
out designation as to their belief on
repeal or retention, the names <fT"fbur
to 2M delegates appear alphabetical-
ly on the ballots of the various coun-
ties-
A majority in each county will de-
cide whether—wt*t or dry delegates
will represent the couuty, but the
possibility existed that by a close
v6te the state majority might he
for repeal and the convention dele-
gation or opposite tenet or vice
v^rw.
Leader* of both factions expected
comparatively light balloting. '
• ■ «.ti i-.l.u ■
Maine, dry for more than seventy*
flve yeara. drew the attention of the
whole nation today as she balloted
on the proposal to wtpe prohibition
from the national constitution.
TWenty-flve other states had voted
previously and all approved repeal-
Tomorrow Colorado, Minnesota and
Maryland will' have their turn at
the ballot boxes.
Thirty-six states must signify their
approval vbefore the 21st amendment,
which would nullify the 18th, can
-become part of the constitution- At
least 39 will have held their elections
by November 7.
DEATH ASKED
FOR JAPANESE
LIEUTENANTS
TOKTOj Sept. 11. <AP)—Thc'state
demanded death sentence* today for
three young naval lieutenants ac-
cused of leading seven fellow offi-
cers in the assassination of Premier
Suyoshi Inukal in May. 1U32. t
Life imprisonment was asked for
thr<* others charged with active par-
ticipation In outrages accompanying
the slaying, six year sentences for
three accused of being accomplice*
In the conspiracy, and "three years'
imprisonment, for thfr tenth-
Demand* for the unexpectedly
heavy penalties brought one of the
major climaxes of the court martial,
which began at the Ytikosuka naval
ba*e Aug. 10, because all Japan won-
dered whether the government would
dare to ask the' txtrcme sentence
for the accused, for whose support
a powerful and ultra-patriotic move-
ment seeking clemency lias developed
iiu the grounds that they acted on
pure and patriotic motives.
The prosecution demands do not
represent the final judgment which
the court delivers after summations,
by both sides and further delibera-
tions, which make take weeks-
