FLOOD AT HEIGHT
IN KANSAS CITY
Water Overflows Railroads
and Only One Line Is
Open Westward.
KAW FALLING AT TOPEKA
Stampede From Lowlands at Kansas
City Continues Many Miles ol
Track Washed Out Large
Crops Are Assured.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., June 9. The Kaw
Valley flood at Topcka and farther west
is subsiding an rapidly as it arose, and
Kansas City, now the chief sufferer, sees
relief at hand in the prediction of the
Weather Bureau that both the Kaw and
Missouri Kivens will be stationary, in
height at midnight and that 24 hours later
both rivers will begin to fall slowly.
In the 24 hours ended tonight the Mis
souri rose 1.1 feet and the Kaw 2.3 feet.
The Kaw River at Topeka had fallen a
foot at 8 o'clock tonight and inhabitants
of North Topeka were returning to their
houses to shovel out the mud.
Water Makes Much Work.
The flood here today furnished abun
dance of work and excitement for dwell
ers in the lowlands and entertainment for
sightseers, who crowded the bluffs,
bridges and viaducts. Every inch of rise
sent water over a large area. Most of
the railroad yards, the Missouri and Kaw
bottoms, are inundated, and the' remain
der will be covered with water before
noon tomorrow.
The railroads were busy hauling: cars
from the yards to higher ground. Hun
dreds of men in other districts are busy
throwing up dikes to keep out the water,
and families continued to move from
their houses. Only two of the bridges
across the Kaw are In danger, and men
. nn,., rtn thoea hritifPS mishiniT
driftwood under to prevent a Jam which
would take out the structures. .
Only Cne Road Open Yl est.
The only line of railroad track open to
the West is the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco. All Santa Fe, Union Pacific and
Rock Island trains are now using that
line as far as Olathe, Kan. The Rock
Island is sending its Denver trains over
the Burlington to Liincoln, Neb.
Part of the stockyards was flooded to
day, and if the rise continues as predict
ed, nearly all of the yards will be under
water. The basements of all the build
ings in the bottoms are full of water, but
no damage has been done. There is no
current anywhere in the overflow.
1 The railroads, which have miles of track
washed out, are the heaviest losers by the
flood. Crops have been destroyed, but
will be replaced, with assurance of large
yields.
ST. PAUL SOT BADLY IILK1
Little Damage Done to Koadbed in
Montana.
BUTTE, Mont., June 9. R. A. Harlow,
vice-president in Montana of the St.
Paul, said little damage was done to the
Montana roadbed, but that he believed
considerable damage was done east of
Saratoff and that it will be four days
before traffic is resumed. Northern Pa
ifh nffiniuiu have no idea when they
will resume service westward and there
is no change in the Great Northern.
The Northern Pacific tracks east of
Butte are open, though the railroad com
panv, is still having considerable trouble
with rock slides in the mountains near
the continental divide. A number of
stalled trains of the East arrived today
and departed south over the Oregon Short
Lin bound for the Coast via the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Line.
General Manager Gillie, of the Amalga
mated Copper Company, said today that
the damage to the Boston & Montana
smelters at Great Falls is not so heavy
as was first thought; that so soon as ore
am be shipped the Boston & Montana
mines here will resume. General Mana
ger Slade. of the Northern Pacific, is
here directing the repair work. The
. weather today was bright and clear.-
CRACK TRAIX IS DELAYED
Korth Coast Limited Fails to Ueave
St. Paul.
ST. PAUL, June 9. For the first time
In many months the North Coast Limit
ed, the pride of the Northern Pacifio
Railroad, failed to leave St. Paul to
day. The reason was two-fold. There
was no equipment with which to make
up a train, most of it being- stalled
on the wrong side of the washout dis
trict in Montana and there being no
prospect of getting a train through to
Spokane, Portland and Seattle if a
train had been made up.
In consequence all the passengers
who were to have taken the train were
transferred to the Great Northern
Coast train, leaving about the same
time.
According to reports received at the.
Northern Pacific general offices today,
the entire valley of the Hellgate River,
in Missoula and Garrison, Montana, Is
reported under water. It is under
stood, however, that most of the towns
In the valley are flooded and the peo
ple have been compelled to take to the
hills. No loss of life has been reported.
ROAD HEADS FOR ABERDEEN
Milwaukee Surveyors Said to Be
Running Line to Grays Harbor.
ABERDEEN, Wash., June 9. (Spe
cial.) It is generally understood that
the St. Paul Railway Company has a
force of surveyors in Grays Harbor
quietly preparing the way for the ex
tension of the road to this section. K
Is also stated that under a traffic ar
rangement they have secured from the
Union Pacific the right of - way which
the Union Pacific bought last year from
the Grays Harbor & Puget Sound Com
pany composed of Hoquiam and Aber
deen capitalists.
GOULD IS OPTIMISTIC
Discusses Conditions on "Eve of De
parture for Europe.
NEW YORK, June 9. Before sailing
for Europe on the steamer Kronzprina
essin Cecile today, George J. Gould said
he felt that in going away he is leav
ing his properties In a comfortable po
sition. He 'expressed himself as "mod
erately optimistic" c-n the general busi
ness outlook. In this connection he
referred to the earnings of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, which
he said he looked upon aa the best
criterion of general business, and said
they are showing a smaller ratio of de
crease by comparison with last year.
He said political agitation against the
railroads in the Southwest had made
a difference of between $4,000,000 and
$5,000,300 in the net earnings of the
Missouri Pacific, and added:
"The stockholders may figure out for
themselves what ths means."
Referring to the troubles of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie and the Wabash-Pittsburg
Terminal, Mr. Gould
said:
"The receivership for the Wheeling &
Lake Erie was inevitable, as the Wabash
Pittsburg Terminal had defaulted. The
Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Company
was unfortunately overcapitalized. We
probably could have carried it through,
but I thought it was time to stop on be
half of the Wabash. The Wabash is a
fine property with great earning powers
and it will not be permitted to become
further Involved.
Asked if he had abandoned any part of
his transcontinental railroad idea, Mr.
Gould said:
'Every youngster has to have the mea
sles and the whooping cough, and I don't
know that they are any the worse after
wards."
Mr. Gould said the Wheeling & Lake
Brie receivership marked the end of the
readjustments that were necessary to be
made to his properties.
Mr. Gould is quoted as having said:
"I expect to attend the wedding of mv
sister, Anna Gould, to Prince Helie da
Sagan. The marriage is to take place
with my consent and blessing and with
the full consent of all the Gould family."
EXPLAINS LAND FRAUDS
SCHNEIDER EXPOSES METHODS
IX VOGUE IX OREGOX.
Tells How He Secured Land Appli
cations Benson Loses Ha
beas Corpus Case.
WASHINGTON, June 9. The District
Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Jus-
tive Van Oredel today, confirmed the de
cision of the Criminal Court in refusing
to dismiss John A. Benson on habeas
corpus proceedings. Benson Is being tried
with Frederick A. Hyde, Henry P.
Dimond and Joost .H. Schneider for al
leged conspiracy to defraud the. United
States out of Government lands in the
far West.
Mr. Diamond was again on the stand
today. He was subjected to a severe
cross-examination by District Attorney
Baker. He said he knew very little of
the land business in Hyde's office, and
had nothing to do with the active work
of getting lands from the several states.
Reference was made to a letter written
by Dimond to Hyde, in which he gave
the "tip" that Secretary Hitchcock was
making an investigation into the manner
in which public lands had been secured
by him upon which a Federal prosecu
tion was to be made. He obtained this
information, he said, from Mr. Brown, a
local attorney, and not from any one in
the land office. Dimond denied that Ben
son locked him in a room in the New
Willard Hotel here when Woodford D.
Harlan, a division chief in the general
land office, called to see Benson ubn
matters pertinent to land business.
Dimond said he was in Benson's room
when he heard a tap on the door and
stepped into the cjoset until Benson an
swered the summons. He was then en
gaged in talking over a contract which
Benson had signed with a New York
man in which he acquired a number of
acres in the Aztec Forest Reserve.
Woodford D. Harlan and William E.
Valk, formerly clerks in the general land
office, were recalled. They declared they
had never given information either di
rectly or indirectly to Dimond about the
suspension order issued with reference
to the cases of F. A. Hyde and F. A.
Hyde & Company.
Joost Schneider, one" of the defendants,
who precipitated the investigation and
prosecution by the Government, testified
regarding methods employed in selng
land applications in Oregon. H visited
Salem. Or., at Harlan's request, he said,
to induce persons to apply for school
lands. Witnesses said he secured a num
ber of signatures to applications from
lunch-room waiters, cowboys and la
borers. Schneider stated that all he knew about
Elizabeth Dimond was that a letter was
received at his residence addressed in
her name. He said it was either in an
envelope of F. A. Hyde & Company, or
was marked to be forwarded to Hyde,
because Mrs. Schneider sent the letter to
Hyde, the last named acknowledging Its
receipt.
Witness said he had been scarcely ac
quainted with John A. Benson and knew
little relative to the methods employed
by Hyde in getting his cases through the
land office here.

ABOLISH THE .DIVE
Brewers Will Consider Radical
Resolution Today.
AID LAW ENFORCEMENT
Significant Speeches Are Made Be
fore Convention of . National As
sociation In Milwaukee Bris
bane Gives Good Advice.
MILWAUKEE, June 9. Resolutions
declaring in effect that the United
States Brwers' Association is in favor
of the eradication of the dive will come
before the convention of that organiza
tion at its closing session tomorrow
morning. The resolutions were intro
duced at an executive session of the
convention today, and while their text
has not been made public, it is under
stood that they declare that municipal
laws in all the cities of the country
should have the co-operation of the
brewers in their efforts to wipe out
disreputable saloons. They were con
sidered in committee this afternoon.
The speakers tonight were Arthur
Brisbane, of New York, and E. J. Gid
dings, of Oklahoma, a close second in
popularity. Giddings declared war on
Prohibitionists, but Mr. Brisbane de
clared .4hat; -there were two sides to
the question, and told the brewers they
could and should .clean up the ques
tionable' resorts. He. declared that
prohibition-is not only not feasible, but
not possible, and said' the Prohibition
ists should be argued with as brothers
and not as wild-eyed anarchists.
Mayor DavlB S. Rose, of Milwaukee,
who has started a war against the dive
saloons i in Milwaukee; - made an address
of welcome, and' in' the course of his re
marks made reference to the warfare be
ing made against all saloons which do
not come within the "decent" class. The
Mayor and Chief of Police of Milwaukee,
in a petition to the Common Council, have
placed the ban on 50 saloons of the class
characterized as being "low," and recom
mended that no license be granted to
those on the list. The "step taken by
Milwaukee's executive is believed to be
in line with the policy of the brewers'
associations of the country. ;
President ' Liebman, chairman of the
board of trustees, presented the: anfiual
report of that board this- afternoon.
In part he said: -
Presents. Annual Report.
"Now, in spite of the fact that our beer
is so universally pure, and that the lead
ing psysiologists are so thoroughly agreed
aa to its food value, the brewer finds
himself held up to obloquy and scorn.
aad in many states his business is in
danger of confiscation. What is the
cause of this clamor? Certainly it is not
due to the character of the brewers a?
individuals, nor to the way in which the
manufacturing end of their business as
conducted. Neither Is It due to any ex
tensive total abstinence sentiment or to
any real conviction that the evils of in
temperance are largely due to the con
sumption of beer. The explanation is
to be found in the organized attack
against the saloon. We are constantly
hearing that the saloon has abused its
privilege, and that it is the source of all
anner of social evils; and because the
brewer finances many of the saloons, he
is held to be sponger for their evHs.
The fact is that the lawmaker, tne
magistrate, the police authorities, the
landlord, the bonding companies, and the
licensing authorities must share tne
odium which rests upon the saloon and
its backers, for the evils which have
arisen. But whoever may be responsible,
the plain fact is that the saloon business
is jeopardized by its black sheep, and
as a matter of enlightened self-interest
we must proceed to find a remedy.
'The abuse of the saloon is marked Dy
disorderly and disreputable practices,
which are not really incidental to the
business. We agree with all decent men
upon these points.
Points Now Agreed On.
'1. That the saloon should not be used
to foster the social evil, and should be
utterly divorced from it.
'2. That the saloon should not be used
for gambling purposes.
'3. That the saloon should not be opeh
to minors, and that the sale of intoxi
cants to children should be proscribed.
"I should like to correct the general
iseonception of the brewers' status in
relation to the saloon. One constantly
hears that the brewers control the sa
loons, and can do what they will with
them. As a matter of fact, very few
saloons are owned by the brewers, nor
do the brewers, in any adequate sense,
control the saloons. In fact, it seems
hardly too much to say that the trouble is
not that brewers own saloons, but that
they do not own them.
But the brewers, as an organization.
can accomplish a great deal, though
their organized power has not yet been
fully tested. The question of ways and
means to employ this power should be
discussed objectively in this convention.
We shall hear from some men who have
been making an earnest effort to root
out the undesirable saloon, and from
their experience, I hope that we shall
be able to reach some conclusions as to
the methods which we must employ to
accomplish the desired results. We In
vite the fullest discussion of the matter.
The regulation of the saloon has been
needlessly "complicated by experimental
legislation, party politics, police corrup
tion and Inefficiency.
In recent years the saloon has been
growing to be less and less a political
factor. Today it threatens to become
the biggest political Issue In olir His
tory.
Wherever the Anti-Saloon League has
waged its warfare of extermination, all
other political issues have been dwarfed
and personal rancor and bitterness have
taken place of calm judgment.
'It is our duty to hasten universal en
lightenment on these points, and to
spread the conviction that our industry
stands for temperance in the best sense
of the word, and will neither countenance
nor tolerate anything that is not thor
oughly in accord -with the moral and
physical welfare of the people."

ANNUAL REUNION OPENS
Feature of' First Day's Session at
Birmingham Delivery of Annual
Message Prepared by Recently
Deceased Commander.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 9. Amid
great enthusiasm and before 7000 peo
ple In Birmingham Hippodrome Audi
torium the eighth annual reunion of
Confederate Veterans was called to or
der today by Major-General George P.
Harrison, commanding the Alabama di
vision of the Confederate Veterans. The
invocation was delivered by Rev. Dr.
J. William Jones, chaplain-general.
The children's chorus followed, 200
children, accompanied by the reunion
band, rendering Southern airs. Major
General Harrison on the stage was
surrounded by General W. L. Cabell, of
Texas; General ' Clement Evans, of
Georgia; General Tyler and other
prominent officers, and by representa
tives of the local Sons of Veterans,
Daughters of the Confederacy and local
citizens' committees. - ...
Today's programme Included an ad
dress of welcome on behalf of the Con
federate Veterans of Alabama by Brigadier-General
YV. Bush; on behalf- of
the Sons of Veterans by General Rufus
N. Rhodes; on behalf of the Alabama
Daughters of the Confederacy by Mrs.
Charles G. Brown and reading of the
address of General Stephen D. Lee,
deceased.
The address of the deceased commander-in-chief
follows in part:
Text of the -Address. ;
"Since the war I have heard many ad
dresses to Confederate Veterans. Our
orators have been rich in arguments to
demonstrate tha . correctness of states'
rights views, and the soundness of the in
terpretation of the Constitution held by
Southern statesmen. They have displayed
the firm historic basis of our political
faith. They have taught us that the Lost
Cause was not wholly lost; that the best
fruits of the great conflict came to the
South, when the master was freed from
the slave, and the old icebergs of sectional
hate were set adrift in the warm gulf
stream of a new National patriotism.
"Nevertheless It has not seemed tfle
whole truth to me that the Confederate
soldier went into battle to vindicate a
constitutional argument. He went to war
because he loved his people, because his
country was invaded, because his heart
was throbbing for his hearthstone.-
"These men fell bleeding and with
broken swords before the altar of their
country. Their reward was the imperish
able knighthood of their service: I im
agine that the Knights of the Holy Grail
never sought other reward than Just to
serve. ' y
"To those who keep- alive In loyal hearts
the memory of the Confederate dead, I
would eay these men chose the noblest
part. This is the best life offers any man,
to strive for the highest,, the greatest.
If the cause was los the men were not.
Was a Fine Old Type.
"The old masterful type of the South
ern statesman passed away with slavery.
AVhateverVnay be said of that institution.
It trained men for leadership and govern
ment. Wonderful men, those old South
erners were; great in counsel,' great
in battle, but greater than all in
the Integrity which felt dishonor like
a wound. They would have fallen
upon the sordid plunderers which in later
times have infested public life like Elijah
upon the prophets of Baal. I cherish the
hope that pur Southern blood will producd,
the type again that with renewed pros-"
perity we will again introduce into public
life a class of men able and willing to
devote themselves with pure and un
wavering fidelity to ftie public servict!
"The reason why I have this hopethat
the old-time southerner shall - live once
more is because the Southern boys love
and cherish the deeds of their ancestors.
They do not forget. The ideals of the
fathers are real to the boom. . , ''

Strong Speech in Douma.
DETRIMENT TO THE ARMY
M. GuleliUrr Demands That Royal
Vsurpers of Military Be Retired.
Colleagues Approve His Sen
sational Attack on Royalty.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 9. A fear
less attack on grand ducal intrusion
in affairs of state was made in the
Douma this afternoon by M. Gutchkoff,
the Octoberist leader. M. Gutchkoff
charged that members of the reigning
family, with nefarious influence, were
permitted to remain at' the head of cer
tain department of the army. He
enumerated Grand Duke Serge Michael
ovitch, inspector-general of artillery;
Grand Duke Nicholalevitch, inspector
of engineers, and Grand Duke Con
stantlne Constantinovitch. who is head
of the department of military schools.
The grand dukes, the speaker declared,
had usurped the authority properly
belonging to the Minister of War, and
in this manner had blocked the intro
duction of neceesary reforms .
He attacked with especial vehemence
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch,
president of the council of national
defense, which body he regarded as the
principal obstacle standing In the way
of the reign of the army.
In conclusion M. Gutchkoff. with the
approval of the Douma. demanded the
retirement . from the army of these
grand ducal leaders.
In the evening the Douma passed the
appropriation for maintenance pf the
projected new garrisons In the Far
East and also pased the credits of the
