THE MACON TELEGRAPH PARTLY CLOUDY WEDNESDAY, WARMER IN NORTHWEST PORTIONS! THURSDAY FAIR} FRESH EAST WINDS. ESTABLISHED IX 1820 MACON, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1908 DAILY—97 ▲ YEAR FLOOD CONDITION IN WESTERN STATS gei REPORT THAT A GENERALLY RECEDING IN THE l’ll-l JSO INTO THE MISSISSIPPI—KAN SAS FROM THE DISASTER. i 11131'\ LOST—WATEI 1IE REGION,1)1 T ARE :1TY BEGINNING TO 1 IWP.I.L* ECOVEIl KANSAS CITY, Mo., .Tune 2.-B!ue sky was visible above Kansas City this afternoon. The rains have disappeared and the sun was visible for the first time this week. The waters of the Kaw river have fallen eight inches, und tonight are steadily declining at the rate of about one-half an inch an hour. In the Mis souri. the high stage of thirty-five fast is stllTnnaintained, but this Is due to the rke which has been coming down the Missouri proper, and has been able to offset the fall in the Kaw. It was the water of the latter stream, however, that has caused all the damage in this city and in Kansas City. With a nor mal stage, business In Kansas City soon will be resumed under usual conditions. This city, by a narrow margin, has escaped a serious shortage (n food, has faced the peril of fire utterly helpless to avert the consequences, has suffered millions of dollars of damage to prop erty, and sustained a loss of life that in all probability never will be accurately measured, and now it Is .commencing to believe promises.of better things. The situation tonight shows improve ment on almost every side; the waters are falling, the waterworks will re sume operations tomorrow; the gas has been turned into the mains once more and there Is no Immediate danger of a serious shortage of food. The city has cared for Its own and Is abundantly able to do so still, but there Is not suf ficient food on hand to permit the relief committee on the municipal ofTioeip' to feel easy over the outlook. The trans portation ‘facilities at the present tlmo are so limited that not much freight can be brought in at a time and there Is danger that the demand may out run the supply. « * Two men lost their lives todqy in the attempt to aave others. James Keen an was drowned while endeavoring to rescue some people from the Adam house In Union avenue, and Edward Brooks lost his life in Liberty street, where his skiff was orerturend by eddy while he wss endeavoring to get another man out of a building. A num ber of bodleg were seen floating down the stream, but are believed to be those of people drowned further up the Kaw, probably at North Topeka. Fully fifty, people* were brought to the Twelfth street viaduct during the day by boatmen. None of them had been In great danger. Many people are still In the warehouse and office bulld- the Hood. Since Sunday, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, brothers ana sisters have visited every part of town, particularly the places of refuge, look ing for missing merpbers of their fami lies. Something like order was brought out of the confusion today In the distribu tion of such food as was at hand. With the supply running short It became ap- rent that the distribution must bo de systematic and a central station for^ that purpose was opened. there the food Is sent In proper proportions to the various school?, : Lurches and other camps of refugees. A temporary hospital with medical at tendants has been established. Farm ers sold garden truck in the streets dur ing the day and WO sides of bevf were jelved from Swift's packing house. This is the entire number of beeves ived at that plant. Merchants of Kansas City, Mans., have bought up large quantities of upplles which will be shipped into the suburbs as fast as posslbl nly line of road open—the •or Leaven 1 worth. Knns. Street cars In the suburbs began to run after a fashion today with power furnished by tho dynamos at Leavenworth. The lack of gas is severely felt end oil Is scarce. Flags of distress from partly inundat ed buildings in Armourdalc could be seen from Kansas City during the day and many rescues were effected. The day brought to light ijo facts on which to bas^ an estimate 0? the number of deaths In the flood. Possibly ten bbdlei have been seen floating since Sunday, but estimates made from this Qt$ ble, ov • electr Soubtful as some of the bodies mny have floated down the Kaw from To peka. some bodies drifting In the changing eddies of the flood may have been counted several times.

There have been some reports of settling various large buildings In the wholesale dis trict. but they appear to have settled In a remarkably even manner and ex pert examination will be required to prove that they ore In a dangerous condition. The close of another day brnhght oniy another night of wretchedness to the thousands of refugees at.Kansas City. Kans. Without water, aave for urgent needs, without beds, the tipper part of the town being unable to house (n any comfort the horde of refugees tonight, bids fair to be a repetition of others sines ths coming of the flood.

June 2.-This morning the people of Gainesville, those who had closed their eyes for a few moments during the early hours after working throughout the forepart of the night awoke to a full realisation of the grent calamity that had so sud denly fallen on ihem. The swfulnesa of the situation seemed to bestir them to greater efforts for soon they had got gether In mass meeting and had re- f committees soliciting subscrip tions, getting food and clothing and doing whatever else was before them. At 10 o'clock Mayor Parker called the meeting at the court house to or der, stating briefly that systematic or ganization was now necessary. Sub scriptions were raised at the meeting. Hall county heading the list with 12,000, 'the city of Gainesville with $1,000, the First National bank with $500, and various other subscriptions running the list up to about $8,000, In cluding contributions from neighbor ing towns. Miss Mattie McDonald was put In charge of the woman's relief commit tee. with Headquarters at Mundy’s va cant store, where clothing .provisions, etc., will be received snd from where* they will be distributed. H. N. Merck was named ns chat*min of a committee to solicit further locnl subscriptions and this committee hns raised several hundred dollars more this afternoon. The ministers of the city were put In charge of the burial of the dead, and a number of the storm victims were interred this afternoon. The remains of Mrs.. Bryant and child were carried a distance of twenty-flvo miles to White county. Miss Maggie Westmoreland was carried to Nacoo- chee valley, a distance of foity miles, and Mrs. T. A.

Montgomery, pres ident of the two cotton mills, wrote the committee & check for $500 to help de fray the expenses. / The undertakers from neighboring towns promptly responded to calls for help, coming here themselves and ship ping many coffins, the local undertaker not having itock sufficient to furnish for all. Many physicians from neigh boring towns, in addition to those that came yesterday afternoon and last night, reported for ddty this morning and have been doing valiant work all day. The response to the rail for old hns been generous, and a mass-meetlng this morning adopted resolutions of thanks ^ for sympathy and help to newspapers for furnishing to th» world the great needs of the city by reason of the ca lamity. to telegraph and telephone com* . panics for courtesies, to physicians and municipalities for assistance, etc. 1 Governor Terrell this afternoon sent 1 ISO tents to be used by sufferers and j also sent a detachment of fifty men to aid the Candler Horse Guards in guarding property not destroyed. Much of the debris was removed today by people who came to the city to aid In the work, and In a few days order will be evolved out of the present chaos. * I Thousands of visitors are In the city I to view the wreck of the tornado.

It now seems certain that the death list will not be much short of one hundred; perhaps somewhat aver a hundred, considering the number of dangerously wound*] whose chances for recovery cannot now bo calculated. But through all the gloom and desola tion that surround the town like a pall of dnrkne-s there rndlnt-s a beam ot hope nnd encouragement— hope that the death list may not be so numerous as reported; and encouragement to thoso who are so bravely and devotedly as sisting In the work of relief. The etory of the storm's work of dee. olntlon has already been told. All that repining Is the compilation of an accu rate list, of the dead nnd the chroni cling r4 tho burial of the victims.

The case will be present- id to that body tomorrow, when n num- •er of witnesses subpoenaed by tho government will make their nppenrnnce. An indictment will relieve the depart ment from tho necessity of disclosing Its evidence prior to tho trial of tho court and will require the rearroit of Mnchen on a bench warrant and tho furnishing of freSli bonds. Mr. Heath In hls letter says thnt if Mrs. Wlnans, the Ohio woman who reported as saying she was carried on the rolls with tho understanding that she wns to do no work, did not render services equivalent to her compensation her superior officers were deceived. Mr. H*ath denies that he had any personal Interest In her. Ho says: “I never appointed any person to any position or retained anyone in any po sition, nt any time, with any sort of notion or Idea thnt he or sho was not to render full nnd honest service to tho government for the pay received. The intimation that there was an "honorary roll” upon which her sons were placed for political or personal or other pur- oses than good service, Is a pure in- ontlon. It Is a lie out of whole cloth, s are most of the Imputations of Tul- >ch. If any persons were so appointed r retained It was through their own dishonest designs.” Mr. Heath says hh< visits to Porto Rico and the Pacific slope were mado in the government service and for every dollar expended an accounting was made. Mr. Heath refers to Gilmer's al leged discourtesy to clerks In the post- office department and says he asked that Gilmer be Instructed to act Ilka a gentleman. Mr. Heath says Mr. Tulloch’s friends asked him to Intercede for Tulloch’s re instatement, advising Ileath thnt "Tul loch had been collecting evidence of laptop 1 ictles In the postofflc*»j arid that if he were not reinstated he would ex pose them: that I would be mado to FtJfTer, nnd McKinley’s administration would be scandalized." Mr. Heath says thnt In nr. much ys Tulloch did not re port any of the alleged Irregularities he iuld not recommend him for nny posi tion. Tulloch subsequently had these matters, Heath says, published. Mr. Hellth ndds: "The men against whom allegations were directed hnd refused to pay tho price of the proposed secrecy.
