LEVEES SUCCUMB TO
SWEEMF FLOODS
Situation at Des Moines Now |
Mere Alarming.
FURTHER RISE IN FIVERS.
Thousands of People Are Homeless,
Many Actually Suffering For Food, j
Property Loss Will Be Tremendous. !
More Rain Predicted.
I
Des Moines, lowa, May 30. —Four .
feet of water was coursing through a i
large section of East Des Moines’ bus- i
iness district at daylight this morning, I
due to the rise in the river of a foot i
over all past records, and the carry- ;
Ing away of a section of the levee* j
in Center street.
Five thousand people in Des Moines I
and 4,000 in North Des Moines are
practically cut off from communication
with the main section of the city.
Absolutely no attempt has been made '
to transact business. The street rail- (
way company does not expect to be |
able to start cars for a week. ’ Six :
thousand persons are homeless, 35 per ;
cent of whom are practically without I
shelter and have been unfed for 24
hours, during which time they have
been expose! to the constantly heavy
rains with the thermometer close to
the freezing point. Many women and
children shivered all night long in rain
soaked garments, unable to find a dry-
place on which to lie.
Box cars were placed in reach of 1
many of the refugees'this morning, in
which they could find shelter from the
rain, but relief work is in a deplora
ble condition and far beyond the needs.
Inestimable suffering prevails. The
suddenness of the flood left no time
for preparation or for organization to
combat it. Levees all over the city
are yielding. In many places the
Des Moines river is 2 miles wide. The
damage cannot be computed because
of the fact that close to 2,00'0 buildings
are submerged an<J it cannot be told
whether they will be carried away.
Great damage was done by the
breaking of the levee along the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy tracks,
which inundated the principal factory
district. Several hundred thousand
dollars’ worth of machinery is under
water. A dozen Ice houses have been
washed away, resulting in an approxi
mate loss of SIOO,OOO. The plant of
The Daily Capital is flooded and boats
are plying through the business dis
trict in that vicinity.
To get to the Northw-estern hotel at
3 o’clock this morning it was neces-
sary to use a boat. The waterworks
and electric light and power plant -
heroic efforts were kept In operation
this morning, although the water was
entering them as fast as the engines
could pump it out. If they should
cease, the city would be without light
or water and many big plants using
electric rover would- have to shut
down. Os the seven bridges in the
city, but one is open for traffic. Rail
road service is practically sysneadeA
Water Is ever the Northwestern,
Wabash. Burlington and Rock Island
tracks in many places in, the city lim
its. From Ft Dodge above here the
weather forecast is for continued rain.
The Raccoon river above here is still
at a standstill.
BEATRICE, NEB., FLOODED.
Electric Light and Waterworks Plants
Forced to Shut Down.
•Beatrice, Neb., May 30. —The Blue
river has been rising steadily for 36
hours. It is now 20 Inches above the
high water mark of last year. Water
is running over Court street. The
south and west sides are tut off from
the main part of town. In some
places scarcely more than the roofs
of the houses are to be seen. The
electric light plant was shut off yes
terday afternoon and the water works
plant was stopped at 4 o’clock this
morning, the water haviag flooded the
fire boxes. The Burlington and Mis
souri Pacific yards are flooded. The :
engines were taken out of the round
house last night. The Burlington pas
senger station is flooded. No trains
are expected to be able to get into
town on any road today.
Missouri Valley Lake of Water.
Omaha, Neb., May 30.—The heavy
rain continues with no indication of
abating. Reports of damage by the
floods continue to come in. from the
towns along the Missouri river. On
the lowa side between Council Bluffs
and Missouri valley, the whole valley
is a lake, and the water is beginning
to soften up railroad beds. Trains
were late from the west and a num
ber were annulled altogether.

VATTMAN MAKES REPORT.
Situation of Catholicism In the Philip
pine Islands.
Rome, May 30.—Cardinal Rampol
la today received in private audience
the Rev. Edward J. Vattman, chaplain
of the Twenty-ninth United States in
fantry. who presented his report of
the situation of Catholicism in u-e
Philippine islands. It appears that
the idea of having recourse to arbi
tration in the matter of the purchase
of the friar lands wnich was again
favored after Archbishop Guidl’s ar
rival at Manila, is now looked upon
coldly by the interested parties. Gov
ernor Taft and his colleagues of the
Philippine commission are in doubt of
the feasibility of again proposing arbi
tration, fearing that the friars and the
prominent people interested in the sale
of the land in question may regret the
proposition.
Archbishop Gu’di is faithfully carry
ing out the instr, c dons which he re
ceived in Rome, but the friars openly
disregard them, denying the right of
Interference on the part of the pope
in a question which they consider to
be entirely under the jurisdiction of
the orders whose interests are involv
ed. However, the hopes entertained
of the acceptance of arbitration have
not entirely been abandoned-
STREET RAILWAY INDICTED.
For Not Providing Separate Compart
ments for Whites and Blacks.
Memphis, May 30.—Two indictments
have been returned by the grand jury
of this county against the street rail
way company for not complying with
the act of the last legislature of Ten
nessee requiring separate com part -
ments for white and negro passengers
on street cars.
An effort will be made to secure a
hearing of the cases In the criminal
court today, it being the intention
of the street car company to plead
guilty in both cases so that the hear
ing may be Immediately taken to the
supreme court of the state, which is
now in session, and a decision upon
the constitutionality of the act had at
once.
It is maintained in some quarters
that the Street Railway company fa
vored indictments so that a superme
court decision coulid be secured at an
early day.
