GREATEST FLOOD
IN LATEHISTORY
Eight Persons Drowned and
7,000 More Homeless.
MILLIONS ill PROPERTY LOSS
Levee Above Cairo, III., Gives Way to
Sweeping Waters and Factories,
Houses, Lumber Yards, Eta,
are Borne Away.
St Louis, April 5. Seven thousand
people homeless, nearly 10.000 more
fleeing their homes or preparing for
Instant flight, eight persons drowned,
a property loss extending Into the
tens of millions, dozens of cities up
and down the river under water or
menaced, and levees giving way be
fore the pressure of the vast wastes'
of water like cardboard, briefly tells
the story of the greatest flood in late
history.
Everywhere a grim and determined
fight against the great "father of wa
ters" is being waged. Millions of
bags of sand and dirt are being used
to strengthen levees, long since weak
ened by the pressure of the flood and
by long continued rains. Everywhere
in the entire water-swept valley men
are working with but one Idea or pur
pose that of staving off impending
breaks that would sweep away homes
and perhaps lives. In the wake of
the flood Is the grim spectacle of
pestilence which may result from the
overflow when the waters recede.
The five-day fight of the people of
Cairo to save the Cairo drainage dis
trict ended In a complete rout and all
hope of saving th,e industrial and agri
cultural district of 8,000 acres just
north of that city was abandoned. In
place of beautiful alfalfa fields and
fine manufacturing plants there is a
sea of turbid water. The break In
the Mobile and Ohio embankment was
the beginning of the end.
Water ran through the crevasse all
day, but hope was entertained until
late in the afternoon of stopping the
flow at the Illinois Central right of
way. About 3 p. m. a fresh break oc
curred in the Big Four embankment
near the plant of the Pioneer Pole and
Shaft company. With a rush the wa
ter swept in. hurling houses and lum
ber piles before them. All along a
five-mile stretch of levee from the Il
linois Central bridg? to Tacho river,
the water was up to the very top of
the levee. There was nothing to build
on and no hope whatever of checking
the flow. Hundreds of workers were
strung along this le7ee. Tney were
hastily rushed back into the city for
fear that they would fte caught be
tween the breaks and crowned. At
the plants of the Chiles go Mill and
Lumber company and the "Wei; Peter
son Box company men were put to
work In a desperate effort to remove
the veneer material before it was
washed away.
Reports from Arkansas towns back
of the St. Francis levee, across the
river from Memphis, state that many
of them are partly flooded from back
water In the inland streams. The St.
Francis levee protects an area as large
as the state of Delaware and 500,000
people. Thousands have, fled to the
hills.
The Ohio and Wabash rivers in In
diana, already racing over their
levees in many places, have not yet
reached their highest mark. The
weather observer at Evansville, Ind.,
predicts the crest will be reached next
Tuesday. Most of the levees are
strained to the breaking point now,
and can never hold out with a contin
ued rise until next Tuesday. In some
places the Wabash river Is fifteen
miles wide and considerable live stock
has been, lost It is estimated that
losses from the flood along the lower
Ohio will be the greatest since 1884.
Terre Haute reports the Wabash Is
the highest there since the disastrous
flood of 1884 and that the people are
on the move for safer localities.
The arrival at Charleston, Mo.,. of
mail by boat from Belmont, Mo
brings tidings that the latter town has
been wiped off the fai of the earth
and the citizens hoi in a house
boat where the posto o is doing, busi
ness. Loss in propt., and live stock
Is beyond estimate and many have
lest the savings of a lifetime. It Is
feared also many lives have been lost
fa this section.
At Hickman, Ky., flood conditions
ere worse than ever, with hundreds of
flood refugees pouring into town from
Zllacouri and Kentucky. Water Is
running over the government levee,
the last block of the main business
district was under water, and looting
In West Hickman added to the seri
ousness of the problem with which the
authorities are confronted.

New York, April S. The real

all about it.
It was si?ned by -Manuel I. Lunnan.
minister plenipotentiary from General
Orozco, the revolutionary leader. He
said it was given out on the authority
of the general himself.
"The present revolution is merely a
continuance of the one which began
when the rule of Diaz became unbear
able. "At that time President Madero
seized the opportunity to take upon
himself the entire benefit from the up
rising. It is not true that he was
called by the people. lie was accept
ed as the lead r of the movement be
cause no one else came forward. Less
than a month after Madero assumed
leadership it was found that he was
not only visionary and Impractical,
but lacked the fundamental qualities
cf leadership and In addition was
working for his own selfish purposes.
"But what could they do, To have
repudiated him would have been fatal
to the cause. As your Lincoln said
'we could not swap horses while cross
ing the stream.
"Had not President Madero in op
position to the plans of the revolution
ary party compelled congress by
threats of force to call for an election
earlier than was originally planned,
he would never have been elected
president.
"From the first h violated his prom
ises and the principles for which he
and the revolutionists h?d been fight
ing. By what was almost his first
official act he violated the rery thing
! which we thought we had won, the
sanctity of the free ballot. By
threats and vioVrce he forced into
office men unknown to Mexico and
who were mere tools in Us hands.
Members of his family received posi
tions. The present head of the gov
ernment party is Gustave Madero, the
president's brother, the minister of
finance is his uncle, the head of the
department of mines and agriculture
Is his first cousin.
,rWhen Diaz left office there was
$32,000,000 in the treasury, all of which
has been wasted by Madero. Gustavo
Mad ro got $700,000 for alleged ex
penses In the campaign without mak
ing an accounting. And now $3,500,
000 Is about to be paid for land which
Is not worth half that amcunt.
"Madero has achieved all but the
complete ruin of Mexico."
The rest of the statement deals with
the reforms which the revolutionists
will try to effect if their cause Is suc
cessful. The last thing they want
Is an Intervention on the part of any
foreign nation and they, say they will
try to remove the cause for such.

Noah Goodyear was the last per
son who saw the man, alive, or that
is known to have talked to him.
He complained of not feeling well,
and asked Mr. Goodyear to come and
see him. He had often complained
of being sick, but as Mr. Goodyear
was bus', and the school enteitain
ment was coming off, and he was in
terested there, he did not think
much about Mr. Tag, intending to
see him later.
Not seeing him about in the morn
ing, he went to the house, and saw
him in bed apparently asleep. Later
on when he did not get up and stir
about the house and attend to hi
horse, neighbors forced the door open
and found him dead.
He was a man of about fifty
years of age, and lived alone, gather
ing up old iron and selling it. He
kept an old horse and went about
by. himself. He was sociable with
people, but was thought to be queer
by many people who knew him. He
had the appearance of being poor,
but it is said that he told on one
occasion of having several hundred
dollars he could lay his hand on any
time, and that he did not have to
work unless he chose to do so.
Others say that not long since he
exhibited a large roll of bills. How
ever, litle is known of this, and the
coroner will have charge of the af
fair until it is known if he had any
thing aside from his horse and
buggy and household belongings.

DON HERR.
One of the youngest drivers who
will contest in the second annual
500-mile International Sweepstakes is
Don Herr who will be at the wheel of
one of the. big blue-bonneted National
racing cars. Herr will be a team
mate of Wilcox and Merz, who have
been on the National racing team for
the past three years and have been
the winners of more events than any
other combination of cars and pilots.
SPEED KING TO APPEAR
"WILD BOB" BURMAN WILL DRIVE
BIG CAR IN 500-MILE RACE.
Cutting Racer Comes Close to Limit
of Power Allowed Starter in
Memorial Day Event at
Indianapolis.
Definite confirmation of the rumor
that "Wild Bob" Burman, the world's
speed king, will be seen at the wheel
of a Cutting car In the second annual
500-mile International Sweepstakes
race, has been received at the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway in the form of
an entiy of the car and the nomina
tion of Burman as driver. For some
time it has been understood that the
speed monarch would pilot a Cutting
machine, but no definite entry had
; been made until recently.
Burman is probably more in the
public eye than any other racing
driver, because of his succession to
the throne of speed king and his hold
ing of the world's straightaway rec
ords made at Daytona, Florida. He
has been a contender in most of the
great motor events in the past four
or five year and has always figured
more or less prominently.
The entry of the Cutting car, with
Burman named as driver, means that
he will devote the next two months of
his time to preparing the car and test
ing It out over the motor speed way
course. He probably will do very lit
tle exhibition driving or mile track
racing in the meantime.
Harry Goetz, who was the mechani
cian for Ray Harroun, winner of the
last 500-mile race in a Marmon car,
has gone with Burman and Is helping
him in the building of his special rac
ing car. Goetz is one of the most
skilled mechanicians in the country
and Burman looks to him to aid mate
rially in the success of his next ap
pearance in a big race.
The car which Burman will drive is
a 1912 special model, weighing 2,300
pounds, which is 300 pounds above the
minimum weight allowed in the race.
The motor has four cylinders with a
bore of five and seven thirty-seconds
inches, and a piston stroke of seven
Inches, giving a piston displacement
of 597.9 cubic Inches. It Is believed
that the motor will develop about one
hundred horse-power, and it probably
will be about the largest in the race.
The motor is specially built to come
just within the six hundred cubic inch
limit set UDon the contest by the
Speedway management
The other entries to the race are
two Stutz cars, to be driven by Gil
Anderson and Len Zengle, with Billy
Knlpper as relief; two Nationals with
Don Herr, Howard Wilcox and Charley
Merz named as drivers; two Case cars
with Harvey Herrick and Louis Dis
brow nominated as regular drivers;
two Mercedes cars with Ralph De
Palma and Spencer Wlshart at the
wheels; one Fiat to be driven by
Teddy Tetzlaff; a Simplex with Bert
Dingley to drive and a Lexington to
be piloted by Harry Knight
Ralph Mulford has purchased a six-
cylinder Knox which he will drive In
the race, although his entry has not
formally been made.
This early field of starters is con
sidered the cream of driving and rac
Ing talent of the country, and means
that the former record of 74.61 miles
per hour established for the 500 miles
ii certain to fall in the next Memorial
Day contest.
The early seat and hotel reserva
tions which have -been made indicate
that the crowd will be greater than
that which witnessed last year's event
The throng which witnessed the last
500-mlle race was the largest that ever
passed into any one enclosure to at
tend a sporting contest of any de
scription.

TAFT INSISTS ON
AID TOWERS
Says Department ot Agriculture
VorkMustGa On.
LABORS FOR GOIISHRVATIOTL
Farreaehing Legislation Administered
by Scientists of Rank Brings Good
Results to Tillers of Soil Food and
Drugs Act Upheld to the Letter.
In his inaugural address President
Taft called attention to the deficit then
existing in the revenues and the con
sequent uecessity for rigid economy In
expenditures. However, the president
singled out the department of agricul
ture as an exception. He said, to quote
his exact words, "In the department
of agriculture the use of scientific ex
periments on a large scale, and the
spread of information derived from
them for the improvement Of general
agriculture must go on." This view
the president has steadily maintained,
and repeatedly has urged appropria
tions for the work of the department
In his comprehensive message on
conservation President Taft said, "The
feature that transcends all others, in
cluding woods, waters, minerals, is the
soil of the country," and that all means
at the government's disposal should be
used to conserve the soils, adding, "a
work of the utmost importance to in
form and instruct the public on this
chief branch of the conservation of our
resources is being carried on success
fully in the department of agriculture."
Keports made recently to Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul
ture by the heads of his bureaus Justi
fy this solicitude on the part of the
president for the department. In call
ing for these reports the secretary ask
ed that they be brief and that they
mention uotnble achievements of the
last five years only, inasmuch as that
period Is really the period of fruition
In the department, the period during
which, owing to the broad foundations
previously laid by the training and
grouping of many corps of scientific
men, by securing farreaehing legisla
tion, by gathering together masses of
statistics and other Information, by
providing scientific and other equip
ment It has beeu possible to produce
most marvelous results for the com
mon good of the people.
Taft For Conservation.
In his conservation message Presi
dent Taft emphasized the Importance
of the malntenauce of the forests and
urged their scientific treatment "so
that they shall be made to yield a large
return in timber without really reduc
ing the supply," and In other messages
he pointed out the necessity of refor
estation. In accordance with these
views much available work has been
done in protecting the national forests
and by researches in the laboratory of
the department at Madison, Wis.,, and
in the past five years the work of re
foresting burned over areas has pro
ceeded at tbe rate of 15,000 to 30,000
acres a year. The department takes
justifiable pride in its forest work, con
aWering the administration of 100,000,-
OOO acres of land protected and man
aged for th public benefit a great
achievement.
Since Jan. 1. 1907, when the food
and drugs act went Into effect, more
has been done to provide a good, clean
food supply than In all the preceding
life of the nation. A wonderful change
has also been effected In the character
of the drugs on sale. The department
has a trained force of inspectors and
chemists doing excellent work In all
parts of the country In behalf of pure
foods and pure drugs. This salutary
law, however, needs amendment, as
the supreme court held In May, 1911,
that Its provisions, to quote President
Taft's words In his vigorous message
to congress a month later, Do not
cover the knowingly false labeling of
rostrums as to curative effect" The
president added: "An evil which men
aces the general health of the people
strikes at the life of the nation. In
my opinion the sale of dangerously
adulterated drugs constitutes
auch an evil and warrants me in call
ing the. matter to the attention of the
congress."
Work of Soil Mapping.
Of Importance to the farmer has
been the work carried on In the past
five years of soil mapping and classifi
cation, so that now the area included
Is 407,009 square miles, or nearly 41,
000,000 acres. The value of this work
Is incalculable. '
Disseminating the valuable Informa
tion acquired by the department has
proved a wonderful work. Practically
200,000,000 publications have been dis
tributed since Secretary Wilson as
sumed control of the department, and
more than half (10393,100) of that
number have been distributed within
the past five years.
Other work accomplished by the de
partment includes a comprehensive
system of weather warnings and fore
casts, the meat inspection service in
which 2,500 experts are employed, who
see that every pound of meat sent in
terstate is fit for human food, protec
tion of live stock, the checking of, ro
dent pests, the destruction of noxious
insects, the conservation of water sup
plies, the building and care of public
roads and the policy for better farm
houses, so that every dollar expended
in the prosecution of this work in Its
numerous phases has brought back a
hundred fold to the people.

CITY COUNCIL VISITS
MISHAVAKA FIRE DEPT.
MAYOR, COMMITTEE OF THE
COUNCIL, FIRE. CHIEF AND
EXPERT MECHANIC TAKE
TRIP TO SEE MOTOR FIRE
TRUCK.
Wednesday afternoon Mayor J.
B. Bowell, Councilmen Farmwald,
Underwood and McCrory, with
Chief F. H. Kuhn and Ed. Hollings
head as expert mechanic, on in
vitation of Chief Busse of Misha
awaka, visited that city, and yere
shown the motor fire truck that has
been in service there for nearlj' a
year.
The truek is of the American-La-France
make, the same as was
illustrated at the last regular meet
ing of the Council. At that time
me agent aesirea to exhibit a
truck for the benefit of the Coun
cil, but it was thought that it
would be wiser to get right away
from the talk of any agent, go and
see the machine in actual service,
where it could be quietly gone over
by a mechanic, measurements tak
en, and tests made, that would be
more what the Council really want
ed to know.
Chief Basse and his men were
most courteous. ' Perhaps not more
so than firemen are the world over,
but they gave themselves over to
showing their guests the quarters
they have to live in, the apparatus
they have to work with, and all
the details of the life they live.
They are a fine body of men, there
being twelve men besides the
Chief, and two stations. They havo
the Gamewell Alarm system, and it
was explained that the large fac
tories of that city are so- conencted
with the fire station, that the man
who discovers a fire anywhere about
their works, does not have to run
to the office, or to some city box to
give the alarm, but at various places
about the works is placed electric
appliances which when set going,
not only give the signal for fire,
but actually open the doors at the
station, release the horses that take
the big hook and ladder truck, and
clear the way for the immediate
start of the apparatus. Their city
alarm system has thirty alarm boxes
in various sections.
At each of the two fire stations
the men set the gongs going, and
the fire horses came tearing out to
be hitched up, and in a second or
two were ready for the start.
Besides the horse draw apparatus,
was the Motor truck, which is the
main reliance in cases of need. It
is fitted with all the appliances that
go with a modern fire department,
including the chemical tank and
hose. It carried twelve hundred
feet of hose, and with five men to
work the various appliances, all
trained, makes a very efficient force.
I'he committee found that the
machine was perfect, in that it was
up to the claims mado by the
printed matter of the manufacturers
Mr. Hollingshead went through the
mechanical make-up of the truck,
and declares that it will develop
more than the 60 horse power
claimed. The work and material he
found to be first class in everyway.
In order to know of the ability of
the truck to stand severe service,
Chief Busse got in the driver's seat,
and with two of his men, and the
six of the committee, an exhibition
was given that certainly demon
strated the power and strength of
the machine.
Smooth pavements of course
were easy, even the steep inclines
were taken with no effort. Sudden
ly turning to a side street Chief
Busse stopped, and they were at the
foot of a steep hill of loose sand.
if
ft
It. led up for two squares, and was a
place that no teamster would think
of attempting to draw & wagon, let
alone a heavy load. From standing
still the machine was started, and
without a " knock" of any sort
went up that sand hill, leaving a
track that looked like two plow
furrows. Along a stretch of soft
spongy, spring time road, the
powerful motor carried its load, at
various speeds, at one time attain
ing 52 miles an hour rate. Nothing
could be found that would ause the
least sign of stop in any of the
roads about the city, and if our
people think they have bad roads
here, they ought to visit Mishawaka,
for theirs are worse thau ours.
The committee did not go to
Mishawaka to buy a motor fire truck
They went for the purpose of ascer
taining the efficiency of such a
piece of apparatus, with the view of
being informed as to its practi
