FLOOD AT CLEVELAND
Waters Have Receded Bapidly Since
Yesterday Morning.
DO LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED
Heavy Damage to Property in the
Low-Lying Districts.
STREET CARS RESUME
CLEVELAND, September 2.?Today's
sunshine and warm air, balmy breeee and
clean streets tilled with marching laborers
affords a pleasant contrast to yesterday's
devastation by a rainfall that flooded sew
ers, poured into low-lying streets, threat
ened hundreds of lives and did great de
struction to homes, roadways, boulevards
and other property. Notwithstanding the
great property damage, not a single loss of
life has been reported to police headquar
ters, and it is believed none has occurred.
Aside from the most seriously affected por
tions of the city there is no evidence of the
havoc that has been wrought, and street
car traffic has resumed regularly.
Trains on the roads from the east passing
the flooded district are delayed about an
hour. The work of repairing the damage
done to homes is going on, but in many in
stances houses will have to be rebuilt. The
water that flooded the streets has passed
away through the sewers and the streets
that were rivers of water six feet deep yes
terday are today back to their usual condi
tion and passable. Mayor Johnson, the de
partment of public works, the police and
fire departments are giving all possible aid
in repairing the damage done.
DamaKe to n Church.
Emanuel (Episcopal) Church, on Euclid
avenue, and in the midst of the flood dis
trict, was considerably damaged, the water
reaching to a height of four feet, flooding
Its interior. Suburban traffic is but slightly
delayed, a detour of the swept-away tracks
having been constructed. No accurate esti
mate of the actual loss can be stated, but
it will be heaviest in the destruction of
roadways, the caving In of street improve
ments, etc. The scene in Glen Park place
is unprecedented, and several houses were
prevented from being swept away because
of the nearness of the next-door residence,
which served as a bumper, the second
house being prevented from moving away
because of its foundation having been
washed from under it, allowing the build
ing to drop like a dead weight on its side.
Families in the washed-out homes were
cared for at the homes of friends.
The citizens of Cleveland awoke yester
day morning to look upon a scene of un
paralleled devastation and destruction,
caused by a raging flood. While the entire
city was more or less affected, the great
volume of raging water vented its anger
over miles of the eastern portion of the
city, and catwed an amount of damage ap
proximated at $1,000,000.
The great overflow was caused by a ter
rific rain that commenced to fall shortly
after 2 o'clock, turned into a perfect cloud
burst between the hours of 3 and 5, and
then continued with great force until near
ly 10 o'clock.
The storm, according to the weather of
ficials. was the heaviest that has swept
over Cleveland since the establishment of
the government bureau in this city; over
forty years ago.
That no lives were lost is nothing short
of a miracle, as the stories of thrilling es
capes from the water on several of the
principal resident streets of the city are
told.
The surging waters spread over an area
in the east and nearly eight miles long and
a mile and a half wide. This extended
from Woodland Hills avenue to East Cleve
land and back to East Madison avenue.
C'onrne of the Flood.
Great volumes of water poured over from
Doan and Giddings brooks down Quincy
street, swamped Vienna street, rushed over
Cedar avenue back over on East Prospect
street, rushed like a mill race down Lincoln
avenue to Euclid avenue and then on to
Glen Park place, where houses were under
mined as though built of straw. Almost
incredible damage was done the streets
and property.
Over a large share of this exclusive resi
dence territory the water rushed with ter
rific force, varying in depth from one to six
feet. Culverts, trestles and bridges were
torn down, and for hours nothing seemed
capable of stemming the tide of rain.
Hundreds of residents, who were impris
oned in their beautiful homes like stranded
islanders, were almost panic-stricken, ex
pecting to be called upon to wade out into
the swirling waters at almost every min
ute. Danger signals were flashed about the
city as speedily as the disabled telephone
system would allow and the work of rescue
commenced. Rowboats piled bacK and
forth, assisting whole families from peril
ous positions, but these proved pitifully In
adequate, and it was soon found necessary
to go to the extraordinary precaution of
calling on the life-saving crew from the
river, a distance of seven miles.
LIfe lloatn on the Scene.
The lifeboats were quickly loaded on wag
ons and hurried to the scene of destruction.
The torrent surged with awful force for
hours in Deering street from Falrmount to
the boulevard, and over a dozen families
were penned in like rats in a trap with
water five and six feet deep surrounding
their homes. At this point the life-saving
crew worked valiantly, and, assisted by
squads of firemen and policemen, finally
succeeded in landing the terror-stricken
people In places of safety. The fear was
greatly enhanced by the momentary ex
pectation that the great Shaker Heights
dam would break loose and belch forth ter
rible destruction.
Shortly before noon the torrent succeeded
in undermining a score of graves in the St.
Joseph cemetery, at the corner of East
Madison and Woodland, and the bodies
were soon being tossed about in the wa
ters. b ully a dozen of the corpses were
washed into gutters, and had not been re
covered late last night.
The great flood boiled over the banks of
Doan brook and all along me boulevard
and caused damage that it will take months
to repair. Great Jagged holes are torn in
the beautiful driveway, and the look of
rum stretches in every direction.
Gordon and Wade parks, on the east side
and Brookside Park, on the south side'
where the water also did great damage as
it leaped over the banks of Big creek, are
damaged to an amount figured at $100,000.
Through Glenville the overflow was terri
bly destructive. Many houses are swamped
culverts torn out and several streets turned
into seething quagmires. The loss in tha
village is also estimated at $100,000.
Street Hallways Suffer.
The street railways will suffer an Im
mense loss, extending In varying degrees
over every portion of the city. The Big
Consolidated will have to rebuild its tracks
over different parts of the inundated East
End district, and the loss Is placed at
$50,000.
The train service on all roads was blocked
from two to six hours by the fearful ef
fect of the storm and flood. Every road
entering the city was handicapped by sand
and dirt which was swept over the tracks.
Several washouts occurred, the worst be
ing on the Lake Shore near Gordon Park,
where the trestle was buffeted about by
the force of the water until rendered al
most worthless.
The damage to the railways, which will
also be great, cannot be even estimated
until the large force of track hands sen*
out on emergency calls can be heard liom*
The mail service from the east was com
pletely tied up from 10 o'clock in the morn
ing until 8 o'clock tonight, when a tra?n
got through on the Lake Shore. But the
vast amount of damage fl^ls upon the
householders within the flooded district.
The great sea of water reached a depth
of one foot on the first floors of scoria of
the East End homes, boiling up from the
sewers and pouring in from the streets
carrying everything that came in .ts path
along with it.
In many cases the fear-stricken residents
battered down cellar walls in order to i?|ve
the torrent an outlet and prevent the
swamping of their entire homes. A re
markable feature Of the storm which caused
such terrific destruction Is that up until 0
o'clock in the "iPrntaK hardly a drop of
rain fell west of flfciUsfiti avenue, while dur
ing the momingJ?oMM t"he East End was
being fairly swamped In a perfect deluge.
Another remarkable thing Is that no thun
der and lightning accompanied the ree>:d
breaking downfall.
Damaxe UopiJmI to H?wn of Rlrh.
While thoufcapfSsW citfeens in the most
aristocratic sectAifp* the city were arous
ed to see tJioulaUds upon thousands of
dollars' worth of their property being
crushed and dest??,yedjj another and greater
portion of the cfty wis wrapped in slum
ber totally oblivious to the danger sur
rounding their faWowlcitizens.
Comparatively little damage was done
along the banks of the river outside of
the washing away of loose piles of lum
t>cr.
Residents along Bast Prospect street,
near Lincoln avenue, on Lincoln avenue
and Glen Park place were aroused between
4 and 5 o'clock in the morning by the sound
of the booming waters. The water con
tinued to steadily rise until it was eight
feet deep. By 6 o'clock the residents along
Lincoln avenue commenced to move fur
niture and valuables to the second story,
as the rushing' torrent reached the level
of front porches, and in a number of houses
swept into the first floors.
The waters rushed back from Lincoln
avenue, until the big space Just east of.the
avenue and between East Prospect street
and Euclid avenue was'one great mass of
angry water, from four to ten feet in
depth. , . .
Barns and huge pieces of lumber were
swirled about like corks and banged into
many Lincoln avenue homes, threatening
their destruction.

Shootlnic in Maryland.
There were more disappointed gunners in
the District of Columbia today than ever
before in its history. Scores and hundreds
of them, armed with all sorts of guns, went
out on the marshes in the vicinity of the
city as soon as objects were visible and
waded or were pushed in skiffs through the
wild oats in quest of ortolan and reed birds.
The favorite spots, as always, were in the
marshes of the Eastern branch, and a small
army was there; but there were also large
contingents at Four Mile run and Roach's
run and Gravelly creek. When a Star re
porter visited the sporting rendezvous at
the west end of Benning bridge at 1 o'clock
today he found dozens of gunners, but very
little game. The report of all was the
same ? ortolan were scarcer than ever
known before on an opening day, and reed
birds few and very wild, the {locks going
high above gun reach, and seldom settling
on the oats. . ,
The best bag of reed birds reported on
the early tide was seven dozen, killed by
Marion Fowler. No one had bagged as
many as a dozen ortolan. A hot spell will
probably bring more reed birds and or
tolan. but present Conditions of the sport
are poor indeed, p1

Peter Morgan Assaulted by Lewis
Uorney?The Latter Fined.
Lewis Dorsey, colored, aged twenty-one,
was arrested by Policeman Farquhar last
evening shortly after 0 o'clock, after a con
siderable struggle, on a charge of assault
ing Peter Morgan, an iron worker, forty
five years of age, who resides at 140S 30th
street. A few minutes before the arrest
Morgan and a friend named Brown were
walking up the wooden steps on 37th street
leading from the Canal road to Prospect
avenue. Dorsey and two colored compan
ions were behind and demanded that the
white people get out of their way. Shortly
afterward Dorsey threw a beer glass at
Morgan, striking him dn the ear, and shat
tering the glass, leaving a large piece im
bedded in the head. The ear was cut in
two and a large gash opened immediately
behind it. It required over twenty stitches
at the Georgetown University Hospital to
close the wound. Dorsey was followed by
a young man named Reynolds, who seized
and held him until the arrival of the po
liceman. Reynolds was bruised considerably
In the encounter. ? Dorsey was convicted
today in the Police Court and Judge O'Don
nell fined him *2>. with sixty days in jail
as the alternative.

Vice President Roosevelt Delivers
Address at Minneapolis.
COMPLIMENTS STURDY WESTERNERS

Way, Too.
EXPLAINS MONROE DOCTRINE
MINNEAPOLIS. September 2.?Vice Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt arrived here at
8:30 o'clock this morning over the St. Paul
railway from Chicago to participate in the
exercises of the opening day of the state
fair on invitation of the Minnesota State
Agriculture Society. The Vice President
will be the guest during his stay in Minne
apolis of Senators Nelson and Clapp and
will stay at the home of National Commit
teeman T. H. Shevelin.
A committee, consisting of Governor Van
Sant, United States Senator Moses E. Clapp,
W. R. Merrlam, director of the census; H.
A Boardman, president of the Commercial
Club of St. Paul; George Thompson, editor
of the St. Paul Dispatch; A. H. Landeke
and George R. Finch, boarded the car at
9t. Paul and accompanied the Vice Presi
dent to Minneapolis, where he was greeted
by President John Cooper of the agricul
tural society and Loren Fletcher, while
hundreds of people thronging the station
platform and street shouted and waved
their welcome. ,
The handshaking and introductions over,
the party boarded the private trolley car
of President Lowry of the Twin City Street
Railway Company for a trip "around the
loop." and a view of the city, and after an
hour's ride proceeded to the fair grounds
at Hamline.
Arriving at the fair grounds, the \ Ice
President was escorted to the grand stand,
from which he delivered an address to the
assembled thousands. He received a most
enthusiastic reception. Colonel Roosevelt ^
said in part: j
Vice President'# Speech.
The Vice President In beginning his ad
dress paid a high tribute to the character
and energy of his hearers, descended, he
said, from a race of pioneers which had
pushed westward into the wilderness and
laid the foundations for new common
wealths. The men with ax and pick and
plow, who. he said, had pushed to comple
tion the dominion of our people over the
American wilderness, had shown by their
qualities of daring, endurance and far
sightedness that they recognized in prac
tical form the fundamental law of success
in American life?the law of worthy work;
the law of resolute, high endeavor. Con
tinuing he said: "It seems to me that the
simple acceptance of this fundamental tact
of American life will help us to start
aright in facing not a few of the problems
that confront us from without and from
within. _ .
"We cannot possibly do our best work as
a nation unless all of us know how to act
in combination as well as to act each indi
vidually for himself. This acting in com
bination can take many forms; but or
course its most effective form must be
when it comes In shape of law; that is, or
action by the community as a whole
through the law-making body. No hard
and fast rule can be laid down as to where
our legislation shall stop in interfering be
tween man and man, between interest and
interests. All that can be said is that It
is highly undesirable, on the one hand, to
weaken individual initiative, and. on the
other hand, that in a constantly increasing |
number of cases we shall find it necessary
in the future to shackle cunning as In the
past we have shackled force. It is not
highly desirable but necessary that there
should be legislation which shall carefully
shield the Interests of wage workers, and
which shall discriminate in favor of the
honest and humane employer by removing
the disadvantage under which he stands
when compared with unscrupulous compet
itors who have no conscience and will do
right only under fear of punishment.
New Condition* Have Arisen.
"Nor can legislation stap with what are
termed labor questions. The vast individ
ual and corporate fortunes, the vast com
binations of capital, which have marked
the development of our industrial system
create new conditions and necessitate a
change from the old attitude of the state
and natfon toward prosperity."
There was, he contended, but the scan
tiest justification for most of the outcry
against men of wealth, as such, and it
outfit to be unnecessary, he said, to state
that any appeil which finally entails the
nrsslbiilty of lawlessness and violence was
an attack upon the fundamental properties
of American citisenship.
"Our interests are at bottom common,
he continued. "In the lone rui? we fO
or down together. Yet more and more it
is evident that the state, and if necessary
the nation, has got to possess the right of
supervision and control as regards the
great corporations which ate Us creatures;
particularly as regards the great business
combinations, which derive a portion of
their importance from the existence of
some monopolistic tendency."
As to our relations with foreign powers.
Vice President Roosevelt said that our na
tion, while first of all seeing to its own do
mestic well-being, must not shrink from
playing its part among the great nations
without. "Our duty." he said, "may take
many forms in the future, as it has taken
many forms in the past. Nor is it possible
to lay down a hard and fast rule for all
cases. We must ever face the fact of our
shifting national nt^ds, of? the always
changing opportunities that present them
selves; but we may be certain of one
thing, whether we wish It or not, we can
not avoid hereafter having duties to do in
the face of other nations. All that we can
do is to settle whether we shall perform
these duties well or ill."
The Monroe Doctrine.
He counseled courtesy and respect In all
dealings with any foreign power with
whom the government might come In con
tact. On this point he added: "Let us make
it evident that we intend to do justice.
Then let us make it equally evident that we
will not tolerate injustice being done to
us in return. Let us further make it
evident that we use no words which we
are not prepared to back up with deeds,
and that while our speech is always mod
erate, we are ready and willing to make it
good. Such an attitude will be the surest
possible guarantee of that self-respecting
peace the attainment of which is and must
ever be the prime aim of a self-governing
people. This is the attitude we must take
as regards the Monroe doctrine.
"We do not by this doctrine intend to
sanction any policy of aggression by one
American commonwealth at the expense of
any other, nor any policy of commercial
discrimination against any foreign power
whatsoever. Commercially, as far as this
doctrine is concerned, all we wish is a fair
fieid and no favor, but if we are wise we
shall strenuously insist that under no pre
text whatsoever shall there be any terri
torial aggrandizement on American soil by
any European power, and this, no matter
what form the territorial aggrandizement
may take."
The Vice President concluded with a dis
cussion of the subject of expansion and a
review of what had been accomplished in
Cuba and the Philippines toward establish
ing a free and independent commonwealth
of the former and "ultimately a self-gov
erning people" of the latter.
After the speechmaking, an hour was de
voted to a public reception, and then the
vice presidential party adjourned to the
Woman's Federation building, where an in
formal luncheon was served.
In the afternoon the Vice President was
driven about the grounds and later review
ed the 1st Regiment, Minnesota National
Guard, which during the Spanish-American
war was known as the 13th Minnesota and
saw hard service in the Philippines.
Tonight Mr. Roosevelt will be entertained
at a banquet given by the Minneapolis Club.
Yesterday In Chicago.
Two lay sermons, a luncheon with sev
eral Illinois politicians and a visit to Hull
House were the events that occupied Vice
President Roosevelt In Chicago yesterday.
He left last night for Minneapolis, where
he will deliver a Labor day oration today.
After breakfasting at the Chicago Club
with Paul Morton of the Santa Fe road
the Vice President was driven to the
Trinity Dutch Reformed Church, on
Marshfteld avenue. This Is the church
Mr. Roosevelt usually attends when in
Chicago, and he is known personally to
many members of the congregation. Af
ter the sermon the pastor invited him to
the platform, and the Vice President, as
has been his custom when visiting this
church, made a short Informal address,
telling the worshipers that true happi
ness could be found only by trusting in
God and being faithful to the country.
When he had finished he stepped down
from the platform and mingled with the
congregation for half an hour, after which
he drove to the First Methodist Church
and addressed the congregation there. A
number of politicians, among whom was
Representative William Lorimer, were
waiting for the Vice President when he
returned to his hotel, and the party took
luncheon together. As the affair was pri
vate, it is not known whether politics was
discussed or not. When the party dis
persed Col. Roosevelt walked over to Hull
House, where he had a private talk with
Miss Jane Adams until train time, when
he left at 6:30 o'clock for Minneapolis.

The, Curse of Parrot Ism.
To tb? Editor of The Evening Star:
Parrots are an intolerable nuisance to the
peace and quiet of a community, and aa
such they should be relegated to the glue
factory. Having no law whereby we can
reach the owners of such a nuisance, who
seem to have no conception of rights of
their neighbors to peace and quiet, I beg to
suggest that you lend the aid of your valu
able paper to stamp out this abuse of our
rights by publishing the name and street
number of each owner of such In the city,
so that prospective flat,' house and room
renters may know what communities to
avoid, and especially what partioular
houses to avoid in locating. If you
this plan feasible you will be given names,
etc., of such people. .
