The principal sections agreed upon today were those defining foreign traders and foreign trade corporations, providing the same treatment for personp.1 service corporations as for other corporation* and fixing the basis for determining gain or loss in accord with decisions of the supreme, court. Some minor changes in the house language were made for the purpose of clarification, it was stuted. Senator Smoot > (Republican) of Utah announced today it was his plan to withhold his bill embodying the sales tax plan and offer it as a substi ?tute for the house bill as amended by the committee. Should the committee reject it, and* the general belief seems to be that it will, the Utah senator plans to offer it in the senate. The" finance conwnittee will meet again Monday to continue its work on' the house bill with a view to completing its revision befoi'e the end of the week. Six -major alterations ?s recommended by Secretary Mellon ore before the committee but Jthe probability is that a . number of changes will be made also in administrative features yet to be acted upon. i TEXAS FLOOD CAUSES BIG LOSS OF LIFE Houston, Texas, Sept. 10.?report from the weather observer at Taylor, Texas, to the Houston weather bureau at 10:30 o'clock tonight states that 23*63 inches of rain t has fallen there In the last 24 hours. An official message frbm Valley June tion states tnat valley Junction, near Hearne, Texas, is under water. Practically all communication out of Houston to points in the flooded area are broken, but meager reports show considerable areas Effected. San Antonio, Sept. 10.-??With the known list of dead standing at 40 this afternoon, police officials still believe estimate of 250 lives lost as a result of the disastrous flood which struck this city early Saturday morning to be a conservative one. No attempt has been made to estimate the property damage, but it is certain to run into millions of . dollars. Because of the continued swollen condition of the three streams, which caused the flood, the work of recovering the bodies is progressing slowly Great piles of driftwood which have lodged in trees and against bridges, when removed, it is feared will reveal additional' dead. Many bodies also are believed to have floated down stream and may never be accounted for. ' Relief work and sanitary precau truck it Rig] you Light a I.

Reports coming from' outlying sections confirm the fear that the flood is the worst in the city's history. Streets in some instances have been swept clean?almost their entire lengthy Houses in the southern portion of the city were lifted from their foundations and piled one upon another or in some cases driven entirely through adjoining buildings. Dead animals line the banks of the streams. TUe flood waters from the San An tonio river from Alazan creek antl small tributaries inundated an area approximately two miles long, onehalf mile wide, including the heart of the business section and a- portion ot the residential section along Rister avenue and adjacent streets as well as the thickly populated west side, where today thousands of Mexicans are homeless and the dead not yet counted. These w&re the things visible to the eye when day dawned cloudy and gloomy and threatening but what occurred in the blackness of the night when scores of men, women, children met death in the oil coaled waters of the -flood, as houseB collapsed], bridges were swept out, trees and electric light and telephone poles crashed, is something that will never be known in detail. Countless acts of heroism are current, as civilians and soldiers braved the current and floating debris to carry women and children to places of safety.

There will be no change in teaching stair or in the courses given in the agricultural department's resident teaching work for the coming session, and the prospects are for a good year of effective work, says Dr. F.
