EASTWOOD DOES
NOT MIT TO BE '
; OWSHUTTLE LINE
Community Council Is Also
Opposed to Proposed Street
Car Route
. Voting 100 per cent in opposition to
tbe street car line proposed by the Hous-
ton Electric comnsny to serve Eastwood
dtiiena of tbit community decided to pe-
tition the city council protesting igainst
this proposed line and asking that in ex-
tension of the Leeland avena'e line b
substituted. This action waa taken at am
enthusiastic meeting held at Eastwood
school under the auspices of the East-
wood Community Council Tueasday night.
Tbe opposition to the proposed lino
which would be a shuttle of the Harris-
burg line was baaed on a number of ob
jections particularly aa to the route and
the fact that it would not be aa mala line.
According to Ed F. HaU chairman of
the Eastwood Community Council tba
proposed line would branch off from the
Harriabarf lint at St. Stephens street
ratming down this atreet across UcKln-
jMavajaniaa taDaUaaaveDuejn Dallaai
avenue to Telephone road rrosirTM-
phont road ta Park Drive which tall con
tinuation of Dtllis and on Pari Drive
td Dnmble street .
Object loni were raised to this route
by reason of the crossing of McEnney
avenue and Telephone road maakthg whatt
waa considered dangerous croesings by
reason of the rolume of travel on theme
thoroughfares; the proximity to East-
wood school md to a church which it
waa declared' would be undesirable and
the division of Eastwood tpr a atreet car
line.
The plan proposed at the meeting waa
to attend the Iceland line continuing in
Its present courts to the terminus of
Dumble at Telephone road; This It waa
stated would give adequate service to
Eastwood by means of the Harriiburar
ltne to serve the northern portion of
Eastwood and the Leeland lime for tbe
southern portion.
A petition will be presented to the dty
council Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
lo )1m with the decision reacted at the
meeting Tuesday night Mr. Hall said.

retary of war to extend all possible relief
to Colorado ' flood sufferers. ' "
An appropriation of $1000000 for re-
lief of Colorado flood victims waa author-

ing a resolution offered by Senator

tion Of the flooded district to furnish

ether possible aid to relieve personal suf-
fering and distress. The whole or any

Pueblo Rapidly
Recovering From Disaster
Associated Press Report.
PUEBLO Colo. June 7. Pueblo made
strides Tuesday in its recovery from Fri-
day's disastrous floods which took- heavy
toll of fives and caused property loss of
from fifteen" to twenty million dollars.
Dinger of pestilence ia past accord-
ing to officials of tbe United States pub-
lie health service; there ia plenty of food;
shelter haa been provided In a refugee
camp to relieve the congestion in the
churches schools and private homea and
an army of men baa been at work clear-
ing the streets of debris removing dead
animals and clearing out the atorea and
other business places.
Part of the city is again electricaDy
lighted. The gas company has prepara
tions nearly complete for supplying gas.
Tbe water plan is functioning; andVed-
neidiy a water purifier will start prepar-
ing for human consumption five million
gallons of water daily.
Military officials- Red Cross workers
and medical men working under the di-
rection of the United Statea public health
service agree that the situation ia a re-
markable tribute to the efficiency and co-
operation of the various agencies work-
ing to restore decent living conditions.
Additional troops Tuesday were on the
way .from Boulder and vicinity. Trucks
wagons mules drivers and equipment
havl been ordered from Fort D. A. Rus-
sell at Cheyenee and from Fort Sam
Houston Texas.
Many Man at Work.
The military order requiring all able-
bodied men to report for work brought
out a large force early Tuesday and they
were put to work unloading food trucks
and cleaning np tbe dty.
It waa planned to send a rescue party
down the river in boats in an effort to
recover bodies.
The outstanding feature of the Pueblo
flood disaster is the utter absence of dis-
couraged grief. A man who witnessed
the great flood at Galveaton contrasted
the situation here with that in the Texas
dty where he aaid crowds of refugeea aat
about In groups weeping.
. Everywhere in the city can be found
men who have loat wives children or
other relatjvee and all of their property
who have been doing all they could since
Friday night to help relieve the eituatlon.
42 Bodies is Morgaa.
forty-two bodiea of flood victims were
in morgues here Tuesday night Fire
additional bodiea waca recovered one of
the unidentified bodies waa identified and
some discrepancies in the lists previously
announced were traced today. J. W.
Preisy In charge of Identification of
flood victims stated tonight that a num-
ber of dead reported were not flood vic-
tims but died of natural causes.
"There are undoubtedly many others
drowned whose bodies have not been re-
covered and many wUI not be recovered."
Mr. Pressly aaid "but there have been
so many false reports that we are an-
nouncing Onlv the names of those who
bodies have been actually received at the
morguea."'
Bay McCarthy acting coroner an-
nounced today that no inquest a would
be held over the bodiea of the flood vic-
tim. The flood waa an act of God. No
Inquest la needed to determine that" ho

House Determined Jo Scrap
Borah Amendment and
Substitute Porter
By Leaned Wire to The Houston Post
WASHINGTON. June 7. The senate
Tuesday rejected the drastic army reduc-
tion voted by the house and decided to
back the administration pleas for a suffi-
cient military establishment to keep the
nation from falling back Into the statf of
unpreparedness preceding the war withj
Germany.
By a vote of 34 to 30 the recommenda-
tions of the senate military affairs com-
mittee t for an army of an average
strength of 180000 men during the next
year was adopted. The amendment will
require gradual reduction of the army
from an estimated strength of 215000 on
July 1 to a minimum strength of 160000
men on February 15. 1022. Tbe house
bill providing for an average army of
150000 men would require a reduction of
120000 men by the end of tbe next fiscal
year.
The showdown as to the sise of the
army came on the appropriation for the
pay of enlisted men. Tbe house bill pro-
vided only $72000000. The senate com-
mittee proposed to increase this to $83-
000000 in order to prevent a reduction
of the army below 100000 men which
Secretary of War Weeke declared would
result in utter disaster.
Read Scores O. O. P. Methsde.
Because pi tbe slenderbese of (he sen-
ate margin and tbe insistence of the
house on cutting both army and navy ap-
propriations to the bone greet difficulty
Is expected in the aenffte amendment to
conference. Advocates of the senate
amendment are hopeful that the presi-
dent will throw his influence on their
side.
The army bill became Tuesday the ve
hjde tor .harp
failure to promptly enact the resolution
restoring the statua of peace with Qer
many and Austria. Senator Reed of
Missouri and Senator Wataon of Georgia
both democrats charged that tbe repub-
licans bad not fulfilled their campaign
pledge to make peace as soon aa they got
into power.
"We have in round numbers 15.000 aol-
dlers somewhere in France and Ger-
many." said Senator Reed. "What are
they there for? Why does not the pres-
ent administration bring these soldiers
home? It ia co excuse to say they were
sent over by another administration. I
defy any living msn to tell me a good
reason for-keeping 15000 men in Ger-
many. Peace Delayed By House.
'The senste long ago passed a resolu-
tion declaring a state of peace. It ia tied
up in the1 house why and by whom? The
president in many of his campaign
speeches pledged the American people
that there would be an immediate decla-
ration of peace. In his message to con
gress be declared be would aign such a
resolution ll K were propeny urawu. n
was properly drawn but it is suspended
in the bouse and I should like tj have
tome one who I in touch with the admin-
istratior tell tbe American people and
congress why this is being held up.
'The grapevine brings us many myste-
rious stories as to the. why. One ia tbat
a representative has an ambition to
have his name attached to the resolution
in place of the senator from Pennsylva-
nia Mr. Cnox. Other rumors are to the
effect that the administration has inter-
fered i I do not charge that because I
don't know it to be a fact and J ahould
regret exceedingly to find the rumor ver-
ified: but if the rumor were verified it
would furnish an illustration of a breach
uf faith with the American people with
few parallels in American history."

not be confused with any personal;:

The following statement on tbe t
ject waa Issued: ' v .
Ceaflacatory Policy Aaaallad.
"The fundamental question which
fronts the government of tha 1'
Statea In considering its relations
Mexico is the safeguarding of pro;
rights againat confiacation. ' Mexi
free to adopt . any policy i which
pieasea with reapect to her public 1
but ahe ia not free to destroy wit
compensation valid titles which I
beep obtained by American dtiaens
der Mexican la wa. A confiscatory (
strikes not only at the intereata of i
ticular individuals but at the found
of International intercourse for it is
on the basis of the security of proi
validity possessed under tha laws
Isting at the time pf its acqujaition 1
commercial tranaactiona between y t
peoples of two countries and the r
duct of activitiea in helpful co-ofera:
are poeaible. ' -
"Tbia queation ahould not be confu
with any matter of personality or of t
recognition of any particular adminisi
tion. Whenever Mexico is ready to g
aaaurancea that ahe wit perform 1
fundamental obligation in tha protect
both of persons and rights of prop
validity acquired there will be no
stades to the moat advantageoua r
tiona between the two" peoples."
Purpose Must Ba Declared.
"This question is vital because of t
provisions inserted in the Mexican c
stitution promulgated in 1917. ."If th
provisions are to be put into effect t
troaetively the properties of Aineri
dtlsena will be confiscated on a gr
scale. This would constitute an in!
ntional wrong of the gravest chara
and this government could not aut
to its accomplishment If it be said t'
this wrong is not intended and. tbat t
constitution of Mexico of 1917 Will I
be construed to permit or enforce so
to effect confiscation then it is Imp
tant that this should be made clear I
guarantees in proper form ije pr
visions of the constitution and the ex
utive decrees which have been formul
ed with confiscatory purpoaeai make
obviously' necessary that the purpose
Mexico should be definitely set forth.
"Accordingly thia government 1
proposed a treaty of amity and. eon
merce with Mexico in which Mexi.
will agree to aafeguard . the righte (
property which attached before the con
stitution of 1917 waa promulgated. .
"The queation it "waa observed la ti'
one of a particular administration b
of tbe agreement of tbe nation inproix
form which has become necesssrv as a
International matter because of the pro
visions of its domestic legislation '
No Objection See. . :
If. Mexico doea not 'contemplate
confiscatory i policy the government . c
