THE MOBKiyG OREGONIAN, FEIDAY, JUNE 12, 1903. FLOOD CRISIS BY East St. Louis Triumphs Over Water. NO MORE INROADS MADE Rescue Parties Are Now Saving Property, PEOPLE ALL OUT OF DANGER Loss of Life Promises to Be Very Small Work of Caring: for Refu gees Still a. Great Frolle?H Food Supply Is Ample, ST. LOUIS. June 1L That the crisis of the flood situation has passed, so far as this city is concerned, was generally ac cepted as a fact by the citizens of Bast St. Louis tonight. Boat crews -which yes terday strained their energies to the point of exhaustion In rescuing prisoners of the flood today occupied themselves In saving property and In bringing to higher ground belated refugees who previously had not believed themselves In Immediate danger. Since the disastrous break In the Illinois Central levee the flood has made no dan gerous inroads, although a portion of the Baltimore & Ohio embankment gave way last night and the flood area "was further increased by seepage yesterday. Tonight water continues to osep through Broadway in four places, flooding the low lands between that thoroughfare and Mis souri avenue, the street north, by two to six feet of water. This section of the flood extends between the two streets for miles, interrupted occasionally by embankments. Some water has also found its way Into the territory between Missouri aenue and St. Louis avenue. People in this district, however, have not been compelled to leave their homes. Surrey of the Flooded District. "With the stress of the situation relieved. It was possible today to make a survey of the flooded district. A trip of several miles showed only a picture of Kansas City and Topeka over again a vista of deserted second stories of hous, or per haps juet their roofs, with the perspective heightened here and there by brick pub lic buildings and factories looming secure above the waters below. In some of the larger buildings people were still living. one could be found today with any thing like a definite Idea of the property 1-ss. Vague mention of "millions of dol lars" -was the nearest even the best-In-frrmed citizens could come to It. Loss of Life Is Smnll. There was a general disposition, how ever to accept minimum reports of loss of life rather than the stories originating in the excitement of the moment when the flood poured In. One prominent undertak er averred that there had been no loss of life directly In the flood, although there had been deaths later due indirectly to the overflow. There were no reports of drown ings today, nor were any bodies recovered. The work was that of caring for the refu gees. This the citizens of East St. Louis are -doing with tireless energy. The sup ply of food seems ample. During much of the day the city was under quasi-martial low, although Mayor Cook and his Chief of Police were the guiding heads. It was fcund before nightfall, however, that this order of things, necessitating as it did the issuing of permits for visiting threatened portions of the city, was working a hard ship cn many citizens, and the discipline was relaxed to allow free communication between here and the Missouri side. Tlie Railroad Situation. Except for Westbound traffic, railroad passengers are not beginning their Jour neys from the Union Station during the flood, but are starting from various points on the Illinois side of the Mississippi. Western passengers from St. Louis are gradually resuming normal condition. There are still delays and irregular run ning, but all "Western-bound trains of the various lines are moving. Tho Missouri Pacific, which is the only line running through Kannas City and other points on its own track. Is practic ally making schedule lrne. The Mis souri, Kansas & Texas is running on the Missouri Pacific to Sedalla. where It con nects with Its own tracks. The Wabash Is running on its own track to Moberly. and then uses the Missouri Pacific tracks. For tho first time in a number of days the Wabash last night started out a through sleeper to New York. The sleep er was routed to Moberly. and then on to the EarL Eastbound traffic, however. Is facing a different situation. Passengers for the Chicago & Alton. Burlington. Big Four and Wabash will find their trains at Alton after arriving at Alton by boat. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern starts itf trains from Cone Station, which is reached by street-car from East St. Louis. The Vandalla passengers take the street-car trom East St. Louis to CoUlnsvllle. where an accommodation train will carry them to Effingham, where they will connect with Vandalla. Passengers for points South on the Illinois Central go to Belleville, 111., by etreet-car and catch their trains. No ter minus for the Mobile & Ohio road has been arranged yet, and no traffic is going out over that road from here. DEATHS ALL Dl'E TO ACCIDENT. Chief of Toliee Snya Not a Life Has BMn Lost by Inundating Water, EAST ST. LOUIS. June 1L "Not one person has been drowned by the inunda tion of this city." said Chief of Police Purdy today. "Several persons have fal len from rafts and from overturned boats a.d been drowned by accident, but not a life has been lost by the Inundating water. "If all the dikes surrounding East St, Louis wfre to break at once today there w-u.d be no loss of life, and the city would not be flooded In the rosldontlal .strict, while there would not be more than two feet of water In the business pe-rtion. However, the dikes are more than sufficient to protect the city from damage and the crisis is over. Martial law has not been proclaimed and will not be. We are amply able to vreserve order in the ordinary manner and although the-e arc militiamen here, the soldiers are under my direct orders and are simply ddng police duty." East St. Louis Is rapidly regaining nor mal conditions In the business districts net under water, although it will be weeks before the effect of , the flood le offset. Only accredited citizens are al lowed to pass into or from the city -without a special permit. It is impossible tq get water today except on an official order signed by the City Clerk. This measure was taken by the Mayor this morning in order to prevent waste of the scant sup ply of -usable water. Water is still seep ing through- Broadway, but that thor oughfare, which is made ground, still holds, and it is believed will not break. Auk Aid for Flood Refugees. WASHINGTON. June 11.

They had been engaged in Missouri when quite young, and when Miss Hill came out here Mr. Wright went to California. She then went to San Francisco and they were married.

From information I have had I believe Machen in his defense will show that he was in partnership with the Groffs, and if he can establish a partnership he can not be convicted of taking from them 40 per cent of the amounts paid for the pat ent Groff letter-box fasteners. Partner ships do not have to be recorded; there need not even be a signed agreement be tween the partners, and it is the easiest thing In the world for the Groffs and Machen to get together and say they were In partnership for the purpose of selling the GroC fastener, and In my Judgment, such a showing would break down the Government's case. "It Is true that In making a claim of a partnership, Machen would have to go back on his statement that he never re ceived money from the Groffs, but this would be easier than serving a term, If convicted." STATE WAXTS TO EXCHANGE LAXD. Colorado Desires Government to Control the Water Supply. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 11. The Interior Department has been confronted with a proposition from the State of Colorado which it would like to accept, but It is believed the Sec retary has no authority to act. Colorado owns 5C0.O0O acres of timber land, which It offers to convey to the Government In ex change for an equal area of vacant public agricultural lands. Colorado wants the Government to take the timber lands for the purpose of converting them Into a forest reserve, not because the timber Is valuable, but because water is becoming scarcer and more -valuable in Colorado each year, and It Is agreed that the Gov ernment can better protect the water sup ply than could the state acting for Itself. There Is no law under which such an ex change could be made, but under a spe cial act of Congress a similar exchange was made in Wyoming several years ago. Secretary Hitchcock, Land Commissioner Richards. Chief Forester Plnchot and other officials are all Impressed with the proposition and will strongly indorse either a bill authorizing the exchange In Colo rado or In all arid and semi-arid states. The policy is generally favorable, as It is thought that such exchanges would prove beneficial to settlers In communities where irrigation is practical or likely to bo en gaged In. The question will be brought before Congress next session. XEW XATIOXAL RESERVE POLICY. Larue Tracts-of Land Are to Be Re turned to the Public Domain. DENVER.

Xearly All Tillers of Soil Have Good Crops of Hair. New York Sun. "Ever see a real back-country- farmer with a bald head?" asked the suburban barber, replying to the request of his In tellectual sister for a reason for the thin ning of his capillary thatch. "Now, I have worked In fully half the states In the Union, in town and in country. The head of the kind of farmer I'm thinking of may be well sup plied with hayseed and barn dust, but the hair Is generally very silky and well .nourished. "No, don't believe that dust or seeds are good for the hair. Don't make any mistake there. But I am sure that the continual washing of the scalp is about the worst thing possible for the roots of the hair. Now, gentlemen think nothing of taking a hath every day. Some use a little ammonia In the water to soften It. Meat of them make sure of a clean scalp by using soap. The effect upon the head Is the same In both cases. The natural oil. which ought to exist about every healthy scalp. Is completely re moved. And that just starves out the roots of the hair as really as though you wash a lily bulb clear of its soil and set It to grow on that elab. "Pomatum! Say, I can sell you cheap as you can buy anywhere pretty nearly every kind used in the profession! Maybe they are pretty good; most of them, any way. But no maker has yet claimed to have discovered a hair preserver quite as good as the natural ell which you find about the heads of healthy young chil dren, .for instance. If I could discover Just how to make that and how to apply it I could strike a fortune In no time Now, the back-country farmer I am talk ing about washes his head maybe twlco or three times a year; that Is, in thrash ing time or when he takes a dip In the creek. And you see the result. "Then there's another thing to remem ber. The farmer lives pretty much by physical labor. That means he docs not, as a rule, overheat his. head by planning and thinking, like th city man, or the rest who get their living by their brains. Such men do up all the natural oil springs nature stuck about the head by their inside heat. We find when we cut It that their hair Is quite crisp and hard, what there Is of it." "Then your advice would be. "keep cool and let your hair grow,' as the boys used to say?" "Sure, and. more Important still, never wash your'head with anything which will make a lather unless you arc obliged to. If yott have to, be sure you wash all the lye and ammonia and such like well out of the scalp with water to give the oil a chance to do Its best. "Next." President Is Apjnln Home. WASHINGTON.

It Will Book Xo Interference for Jews, nor Accept American Aid. WASHINGTON, June 11. Numerous of fers have reached the Russian government from American sources to aid families of sufferers in the recent Kishlncf Incident. All such offers have been declined for the reason that Russia is entirely capable of extending relief and under the circum stances cannot accept outside aid. The Russian position in the matter as stated to the Associated Press is In brief as follows: Rusela has not been unappreclatlve of the generous offices which have come to her from America since the attack on Kishlncf nor the humane motive which may have prompted these offers. In view of the fact that His Majesty, the Emperor, has the means at hand to relieve suffering wherever it appears in his empire, out side help Is not necessary, and all such offers must be declined. Nor will it be possible for Russia to receive any repre sentations regarding the Kishlncf Inci dent from a foreign power. "The Russian government takes the came position as that long held by the American Government that It refrains from interference in the Infernal affairs of another power and must Insist on sim ilar treatment for Itself. Should any for eign power take steps to restrict immi gration of Russian Jews on the ground that they ore undesirable. Russia will not protest. She admits the right of every na tion to say who shall come through Its gates and who shall not. Should any country, as a result of the KIshlnef affair, adopt rules restricting immigration of Russian Jews. Russia will regard such -as a step only as a defensive meaeure on the part of the power taking It and not In the light of a reflection on the Russian gov ernment. TURKS TO RELEASE CAPTIVES. Bulgaria.

SCOURGE OF GOD. Austrian Peasant Probably Finds At tlla's Grave. New Tork Commercial Advertiser. It the "find" were quite authenticated historians and archaeologists would havo a genuine sensation In the alleged discov ery of the grave of Attila which was re ported .on Saturday. A peasant of St. Johann, in the valley of the River Drave, has come upon the burial place of a Hun, evidently one of some distinction, and In It were found bronze weapons bearing the name of Attlla. Of course this proves nothing In Itself, but the excava tion hasnot yet been completed, and more evidence may yet be brought to light. It would be a very remarkable trou vaille, the grave of Attlla. The very name of this terrible chief still exercises a certain spell over the imaginatlon. When, In the fifth century, his vast hordes of ape-faced, filthy and ferocious Asiatics sw ept over Europe, all the future of our Western civilization trembled In the balance: and the battle at Chalons, where the Goths of Theodorlc and the Romans of Aetlus rolled back the ap parently irresistible tide of Invasion, was probably the most momentous struggle that tho world has witnessed, surpassing even Marathon In the permanence of Its results. Had Attlla won. Europe would today be half Mongolian, half Tartar, and the splendid heritage of Greece and Rome would have been forgotten long ago. The locality In which the grave has heea discovered may well be that In which the Hunlstr leaders, affrighted by the strange and sudden death of their fierce master, burled him hastily and In secret. With shaven heads and with self-lnlflcted gashes on their breasts, they caused a deep pit to be dug Into which they low ered his body Inclosed within three cof flns one of gold, one of silver and one of Iron placing also in the grave the weap ons of the dead man and the trappings of his horses. Then, the men who performed tho task were murdered lest the secret of the place should be revealed. Such, at any rat. Is the account given by Iornandes and others, and it will be seen that Its state ments are somewhat Inconsistent with the report from St. Johann, which speako only of a stone coffin. But Iornades, like most of the ancient chroniclers, accepted tradition where authenticated fact was necessarily unattainable; and so the Aus trian peasant's discovery may really have given us the sepulchre of the human devil who sacked Rome and drove all Europe mad with terror, who was styled "the scourge of God," and of whom It was tersely written that "he spared neither man In his rage nor woman lnhls lust." yet who In all probability met his death at a woman's hand. A Gold Mine to Charity. New York Sun. Dr. Alexander De Soto, formerly of New York, and his mining partner, John J. Habecker, of Philadelphia, propose to dedicate the rich Wayside gold mine at Granite Fallo to charity. The property Is expected to pay dividends by May, and thereafter will supply funds monthly for charity work In Puget Sound cities. Dr. De Soto says that his ambition is to found a free medical college, with Its attendant conveniences, and to estab lish a charity home for working girls whero room and board may be had at the least possible cost. Several years ago Dr. De Soto met Ha lecker In Seattle for tne first tlm?. Ha becker was preaching on street corners. From that time they became fast friends and have been associated since In .both business and charity. TJe Soto came here a poor man, and his ministrations to the sick and fallen were looked upon some what suspiciously. Success that has finally crowned his work has brought to him the confidence of the entire public Up to the first of the present year 9000 persons have been cared for in the Wayside Mission Hospital in addition to many thousands of others who found free lodging and free food In the Wayside Mission lodgings.

It Is re ported two bodies were seen passing Sol omonvlUe In the Gila River. The exact number of drowned is not known, but thes total is placed at SO. Twelve bodies have been recovered. One person reports see ing 12 In the water, all of whom were lost. A Mexican woman lost five children. At Morencl the water was 20 feet deep, but the canyon is much wider, and compara tively small property losses and probably no fatalities resulted. The Baby Gauge Railroad upon the canyon to Metcalf was frightfully washed, and on this road oc curred the narrowest escape from a big; death list. A train carrying 60 passengers met tho flood, which was seen In time for the train to, be stopped, allowing the passen gers to seek the hillside. The water over turned the train and doubled It up like a horseshoe. The flood lasted for an hour. The Arizona Copper Company at Clifton Is a heavy loser, and the Morencl & Southwestern trestle at Morencl is tho biggest loser there. It will take two weeks to repair the Metcalf Railroad and will provide work, for many strikers. It Is believed this oc cupation will divert the attention of tho strikers, and the flood calamity may have a strong Influence in settling the strike. The bodies of many dead are believed to be burled under the tailings from the Ari zona Copper Company's mill, and It may be weeks before all the missing can be accounted for. The waters rushed down Chase Creek Canyon, through Clifton, eight feet deep, sweeping the north side of the avenue and carrying away many buildings, among them the Manila Bay saloon, the Besse mer Cafe and a Chinese store In which were two Chinese at the time. On the south side of the street 3tores were flood ed six fee.t deep and great damage was done. Chicago of the South. ,t Savannah. Ga., News.
