Seven Miles of Territory Devas
tated by Wind and Rain.
New York, June 15. Pine Plains,
the concentration camp of the federal
soldiers and national guardsmen was
torn up from one end to the other of
its seven miles of territory yesterday
by the most severe wind and rain
storm that has visited that section for
yers. Three thousand tents were
blown down and shelters were leveled
and more than 100 horses stampeded
and escaped from their corrals. It was
the soldiers first drill of the summer
season of maneuvers, but it was not
of the kind anticipated. The storm
came up with little warning. The six
thousand soldiers in the company
streets had hardly began to strengthen
their tent fastenings when the wind
tore across the plains from the east
and carried practically everything be-
fore it. In some streets every tent
was levelled.
Paymaster John S. Mallorv was
paying off the Twelfth United States
infantry, when the storm descended.
He had arranged the money in heaps
of bills, preparatory to distributing
them. Attempts to get the money
back into the strong boxes were un
successful and in a moment the air
was full of currency. Bills of many
denominations were afterwards found
scattered over a territory of a mile or
more and probably the greater part

Depot Almost Abandoned.
The Missouri Pacific, Wabash and
Chicago & Alton are still using the
Union station as they enter the train
sheds from the higher grounds to the
east. The Santa Fe, Frisco and Chi'
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul were the
last to abandon the western approach
to the station and they are using the
depot at Twenty-second and Grand
avenus today.
The continuation of the flood is hav
Jng a damaging effect on many of the
older brick buildings In the flooded
districts.- Some structures are being
undermined and doubtless will be
condemned as unfit for further ocou
pancy. All of the packing houses ex.
cept Fowler's are surrounded by deep
water, and Fowler s plant is not en
tirely flooded. The packing- com

panies have taken every precaution to
save their plant from damage and
their greatest loss will result from
their suspension of operations.
The water has done all the damage
that is in. its power. The railroad

Officials and husinMa men n

Kansas Citys express a determination
to put an end to the annual floods. The
great difficulty has been that the two
states, two city governments, the Unit
ed States government, three counties
ana numerous interstate railroads are
involved. During the past year the
United States has declared the Kaw a
navigable stream. This gives the war
department authority to order removal
of the Union Pacific and Missouri Pa
cific low bridges which obstruct the
river ana cause overflow of Armour
dale and the stock yards at every high
water. Any scheme of raising the
banks of the Kaw would involve elevat
ing the railroad tracks. One measure
proposed is to cut a canal across the
point of land where the Missouri makes
its big bend to the east. This canal
would carry the Missouri overflow
from a point above Kansas City to a
point several miles below. The city
officials of the two Kansas Citys are
co-operating in steps to control the
rivers.
The east bottoms of this city are
inundated from the overflow of the
Missouri river. The Kansas City
Southern railway kept a large force
of men at work all night, building a
sand dyke for a distance of two miles
along its tracks. The workmen kept
ahead of the rise of the river and the
dyke will be effective unless an unex
pected rise of the river occurs The
Missouri Pacific took the same pre
cautions to protect its property.
Rising at Omaha.
Omaha, Neb., June 15. The Missouri
river continued to rise Sunday and
last night and this morning was three
Inches above the flood stage. The
weather forecaster, however, believes
with a rise of from two to three inches
more the crest will be reached.
Stationary at St. Joe.
St. Joseph, Mo., June 15. The Mis

did last Tuesday. Only in the lowest
parts of town were the houses flooded.
None of the stores where the goods
had been moved back after Tuesday's
flood were damaged, but the proprie
tors as far south as this side of the
U. P. depot had prepared for it even
more thoroughly than on the first of
the week.
The sunshine this morning was never
so welcome. It warmed up the most
despondent ones into activity. The re
sumption will be much slower this
week than it was last, but as soon as
the river gets well within its banks
and the weather gets settled and clear.
the great majority of North Topeka
people will return to their own again.
The Union Pacific has a large force
of men at work on the breaks in the
tracks to the west. There is a lot of
work to do out there. The track lb
badly washed out at the coal chutes.
A worse break is that at the point just
west of the tie treating plant, while
still beyond this break is another still
worse at the Norris farm, where the
water cut a channel ten feet deep and
over 100 feet wide. This is the place
where the river threatened to return
to its old channel. There is no doubt
whatever that had the river raised Sun
day to its stage of 28 feet on Tuesday
it would have done far more damage
in North Topeka. The water would
have been higher in the town than it
was before. The channel up above had
been cut in the other flood and the
water flowed to the north and threat
ened to leave its bed for the old chan
nel at the Norris farm. A rise of four
feet would have been a serious matter.
Railroad Situation Improves.
The' problem of , running trains
which has been puzzling the local rail
roads for the past week seems to be
brightening a little. The high waters
to the west are receding rapidly and
the trouble now rests with the yards
in Kansas City and adjacent suburbs.
As soon as these conditions change all
the roads will be in position to resume
their normal train service.
During the past twenty-four hours
there has been but little change in the
local train service. All the lines ex
tending west from Topeka excepting
the Union Pacific are in good condi
tion and regular service is being main
tained. Frisco Only Line in Use.
The Santa Fe this afternoon opened
up the Lawrence-Ottawa branch and
the time between Topeka and Kansas
City is reduced many hours. Ftom To
peka the trains run to Lawrence, thence
ROUttl tn Ottnwa and rwa-v . .
Olathe from where they run into Kan
sas v-ny over me jptisco. No. 10 this
afternoon was the first train to make
this run. This line will be the main
line to Kansas City until the water
goes down in Kansas City and Holli
day. The Frisco from Olathe to Kan
sas City is the only line this after
noon over which trains from the west
can enter Kansas City.
The Santa Fe expects to be able to
get a closer route to Kansas City some
time today. The line between Law
rence and Ottawa, which had to be
temporarily abandoned is being put
into condition, and it is thought that
the trains will be running to Kansas
City via this route before night. This
will reduce the time between Topeka
and Kansaa City by several hours
The lines between Topeka and St
Joseph are all in service today. The
Santa Fe got through yesterday with
out trouble although the water in the
Delaware river at Vallev Falls is high.
Bridge
on
The Rock Island line to St, Joseph was
opened today., , r 1
The Union Pacific tracks west of
Topeka are out of service.. and the
trains are running to Manhattan over
the Rock Island; A big washout took
place just this side of Manhattan
where the Blue broke over the right
of way. It will probably be several
days before the road will be repaired
and the trains running over this line.
None of the roads will venture any
opinion as to when regular service
will be re-established. As soon as the
water goes down at Kansas City the
roads will be about ready. The
Union Pacific is working on their
tracks between here and Kansas City
and the Rock Island is offering as
sistance. The Santa Fe is in good
condition and can run immediately
with the subsiding of the water
The water is all around the Union
Depot in Kansas City and this build
ing has been abandoned. All the
trains are now stopping at the Grand
avenue depot. ...-.
Going Down Up the River.
Manhattan, June 15. The Kaw river
measured 18.4 feet this morning and is

Wamego, June 15. (By Independent

Tliose Breaks in River Rank.
There are two breaks in the Kansas
river bank above Topeka. The first
of these is Just above the tie treating
plant and the other and larger breach
is near the Updegraft farm which is
just east of the road which led to the
old brick plant bridge, which was
wrecked by the 1903 flood. This is
where the river bends southeast to
ward Topeka. The channel which
the river now flows through cuts out
the bend entirely and reaches Soldier
creek just .-below Garfield park.
Whether this is deep enough to divert
the main channel is not vet known,
but It is believed it is not and that
when conditions - become normal the
waters will again flow in the old
channel.
STREET CARS TO PARK.
Horses Are Being Used on North
i Side.
Street car service to Garfield park
was re-established this afternoon at
3 o'clock, in the face of the fact that
1,000 feet of car track immediately
north of Morse street is covered with
water to a depth of 30 inches in
places. The depth of the water
makes it impossible to operate elec
tric cars and for a while this portion
of the line will be operated by horse
or mule power "
"People in the vicinity of Garfield
park are clamoring for a means of
reaching their homes without wading
the body of water intervening between
Garfield park and Morse avenue,"
said Superintendent Patton, "and we
are going to do our best to serve them.
We do not like to be compelled to go
back to horse car service, but it
seems that this is the only way we can
operate cars on this line for the pres
ent." ' ;

Then Grio Chicago and Booms
Him for Vice President.
AT INSTANCE OF TAFT.
Call on Iowa Statesman Request
. ed at Washington.
X w Believed Ti-at Senator Dol
liver Wants I the Nomination.
A Chicago dispatch says: Republi
can leaders manifested much concern
today when Senator Long of Kansas
reached town and continued to boom
Senator Dolliver for vice president.
Long came direct from Fbrt Dodge,
la., where he had' a conference last
night with Dolliver. While he would
not admit that he had been commis
sioned by the White House as an emis
sary -to sound Dolliver 1 he admtted
that Taft had asked him to see the
Iowa senator.
Senator Dolliver, Whom Long Booms
ior. vice .fresiaent.
That Dolliver is willing to stand for
the nomination providing it can be
Drought about in the right way, is evi
denced by the fact that Long, fresh
from the conference, continued to
boom him. All of the Iowa politicians
are against the proposition. They say
it will tear up politics in that state.
They have just gone through a bitter
factional fight.
To go through another in the selec
tion of a senator to succeed Dolliver
might endanger the Republican ticket,
state and national, in November, and
result In the election of two Demo
cratic senators. They have pleaded
with Long all day to quit and have
also bombarded the White House at
Washington with protests by wire.
Still the Dolliver boom goes on. . .
It Is well known to most of the men
high up in public life that Senator
Dolliver is not . particularly in ease
with his present job. He dislikes the
hauling and pulling that goes with the
routine grind of a United States sen
ator. His ambitions run to the lecture
platform, and from an advertising
standpoint the vice presidency is bet
ter than a senatorship.
Senator Long admitted that his in
terview with the Iowa senator was
very satisfactory, and told the Dolli
ver boomers to keep up their lick.
The only way the boom can be check
ed is by orders from Roosevelt or Taft
or a flat declination from the Iowa
senator himself. Dolliver will reach
here today. ,
Congressman McGuire of Oklahoma
got behind the Sherman boom for vice
president today. Just as soon as Lit
tauer of New Tork placed it in motion.
"Sherman is very popular in Okla
homa," said McGuire. "As the chair
man of the house committee on Indian
affairs he has been in close touch of
the eastern end of the state for many
years. He has always stood for pro
gressive legislation for the Indians,
and to him is due most of the credit
for the recent legislation removing re
strictions in the five tribes.
"Although Dolliver is a western man,
if the fight comes down between him
and Sherman, I believe the Oklahoma
delegation will go solidly for Sherman.
We don't need a western man to carry
our section. Taft will do that. Sher
marL would strengthen the ticket in
New Tork and there is where it needs
strengthening."
Through the influence of D. W. Mul
vane, national committeeman, many
distinguished Kansans have been ap
pointed assistant sergeants-at-arms of
the convention. The places pay no per
diem nor do they even entitle the in
cumbent to a ticket of admission. How
ever, the badge is recognized by all
doorkeepers.
The list includes ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor D. J. Hanna, Captain George
Findlay of Topeka, United States Mar
shal W. H. Mackey, United States Dis
trict Attorney H. J. Bone, Bank Com
missioner J. Q. Royce, Former Lieuten
ant Governor H. B. Richter, W. I. Bid
die director of the Lansing peniten
tiary Former State Treasurer Otis L.
Atherton, Tom Wagstaff and Charlie
Toe of Independence, . John .Mack of
Newton, Harvey Penny of Hays, Jack
Thomas of Colby, Dan Dyer of Smitn
Center, and Long Jordan of Lyons.
It has not been determined whether
Senator Long or Senator Curtis will
represent Kansas on the resolutions
committee. Curtis has not reached
town. Long says he isn't certain that
he wants that place. If he does he is
satisfied that Curtis will give it to h m
and take the chairmanship of the dele
gation. At the Topeka meeting Long
was chosen as chairman, and Curtis
for the resolutions committee. This
action was taken without consulting
the two senators.
Long has been identified closely with
the platform making in Washington,
and if he decides that he is needed to
help complete the 1ob in the commit
tee he will trade places with Curtis,
who has already offered to swap. Sen
ator Fitzpatrick will be the Kansas
member of the, credentials committee.
