PILLAGING BRINGS DEATH
Pitiable Condition Exists -Among
Ragpickers Whose Meager Be
longings Are Swept 'Away.'
Assistance Brings Gratitude.
PARIS. Jan. 30. While the most immi
nent peril Is past, the Seine since yester
day has lowered only five and one-halt
inches. At this rate it will require a fort
night for the river to reach Its normal
level.
Tidings from flooded sections above
Paris give hope of a more rapid subsid
ence after tomorrow. In the meantime
the situation in Paris and In many places
, throughout the country shows little im
provement. Indeed, the ravages of the
flood in the city seemed to increase.
Water Is Even Higher.
The water was higher in some streets,
while the situation in the towns be
tween Paris and St. Oerraain was dis-
tlnctly more eerlous. A stream of water
13 feet deep was rushing through Genne
vlllieres and Colornbes, making the work
of rescue and succor more difficult even
than yesterday.
Several houses collapsed end many per
sons were taken off the roofs of their
homes, whera they had been clinging for
days.
Hungry and Homeless Helped.
Hundreds are reported without food or
shelter, and all day an army of troops
nd civilians worked relentlessly In the
flooded territory, bringing aid to the dis
tressed and distributing provisions by
boat to the thousands of marooned vic
. .tlms who refused to quit their homes.
Within the city Itself are great throng of
sightseers..
The Champs Elysees, ordinarily a path
way of thrilling scenes and light, tonight
had lanterns strung along the curbs. The
usually gay boulevards were wrapped in
silence and darkness. Restaurants and
cafes were reduced to Venetian lamps.
One Theater Is Open.
Most of the theaters were closed, but
the Comedle Francalse, with its elec
tricity and Its heat gone, was open, Jules
Claretil, the manager, explaining to the
meagre audience before the curtain rose,
that he considered the National Theater
of France should not close its doors.
"We will give a performance," he said,
"with candles, as in the days of Moliere,
and show the world that Paris can be as
heroic as In the time of revolution."
Although there Is no. intention on the
part of the government to declare mar
tial law, the completely submerged dis
tricts, such as Javal, are in the hands
of the military to prevent pillaging.
Pillagers Quickly Shot.
The soldiers have orders to give short
shrift to criminals caught in the act of
looting. Thus far there have been no
such cases In the city, but the danger is
great, a the French keep their money
and valuables In their horajs.
Outside of Paris, however, many de
plorable instances of looting have been
reported. A band of thieves has been
at work near Charenton, but soldiers have
been shooting them at sight. The
Zouaves last night killed two pillagers
at Irvy and two at Brie. These ghouls
have transferred their operations to the
devastated region below Paris, many at
tempts to pillage the deserted villages
and homes being reported.
Priests Are Heroes.
Fapsrs recount many deeds of heroism
on the part of the priests at Alfortville,
who continued the work of rescue be-
tween midnight and daylight, when the
soldiers, Jackles and firemen, after sev
eral days without rest, had become ex
hausted. Sisters of charity were rowed
to houses, giving assistance in several
cases of starvation.
Besides the aid distributed directly by
the government and the municipality,
more than $2oO.O00 from the fund raised
by the newspapers has been handed over
to the various relief societies and to the
local authorities of towns and villages
near Paris.
I ne press refers to the spontaneous
help coming from abroad most gratefully.
and recognises the expressions of the
sympathy of the United States.
Poor Ragpickers Lose All.
A pitiable feature of the flood In Gen
nevlllieres Is the plight of the colony of
8000 ragpickers, a fourth of whom are
children. They are the poorest of all
the Paris poor, and early each morning
they cross the Seine to sort the refuse
barrels of the great city. Their village
was a center of miserable hovels of plas
ter and earth, flanked with heaps of
bones, rags. Iron and odds and ends.
On the bursting of the dam, the tor
rents of the Seine swept away everything.
Those rag pickers who had remained In
the village snatched up their children
and fled, most of them scantily clad. They
suffered bitterly from the cold, but after

Favorite Niece of Joseph Swift, of
McCormlck Harvester Co., Weds
You 115 Englishman Suddenly.
SAN BERNARDINO. Cal., Jan. 30.
rspecial.) Miss Oraelto Gertrude Swift,
favorite niece of Joseph Swift, one of
the high officials of the McCormlck
Harvester Company, of Chicago, eloped
from her home In Redlands today with
George Jack Cocking, a young English
man employed as a plumber.
Accompanied by Miss Lois Cheesman,
the young people boarded a San Ber
nardino Valley traction car In Red
lands this morning and came directly
to this city, following out a plan form
ulated several days ago.
Procuring a marriage license, they
proceeded to Rev. Mark B. Shaw's
chapel and after swearing the minister
to secrecy, they were wedded. When
a reporter telephoned the girl's mother,
Mrs. Frank Swift, of Redlands, she de
clared her daughter had not been away
from home. But when convinced that
the marriage had taken place, she hung
up the receiver, declaring she would
say nothing about the affair. The bride
Is the elder of two daughters of Frank
Swift, a well-known architect of Red-
lands, who Is a brother of Swift of the
McCormlck Company, who owns a large
orange ranch In Redlands and spends
his Winters thare.
THUMB NOW INDIANS' PEN
Service Requires Impression of Digit
Instead of Crossmark.
CHEMAWA, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Orders have been issued to the agents
in the field of the Indian service to re
quire thumb-mark signatures by Indians
who are not able to write.
Thumb-mark signatures are now re
quired on all checks, receipts and other
official papers, which were formerly
signed by a cross-mark by Indians and
others. The impression is to be made
with the right thumb placed after the
names instead of the cross-mark as here
tofore. The thumb-mark Is then wit
nessed to make the identification certain
and thus be an infallible method of iden
tification in case of dispute or attempted
fraud.
This was first done In the Indian serv
ice in 1905, when the system was adopted
as evidence of the authenticity of writ
ten agreements with Indiana, the thumb
print of the signers being required in
addition to their signatures or their
marks. The system now includes the en
tire business of the department.
MINERS' PARTY SNOWED IN
May Be Two Months Before Message
Will Be Heard.
DOWNIEVILLE, Cal., Jan. 30. (Spe
cial.) Clifford Weldon and his crew of
miners are snowed in at the Secret
Ravine mine, five miles from Forest
City, In this county, and no Word has
come from them since the day before
Christmas.
The mine Is in an isolated section
and is several miles from any public
highway. It is practically impossible
to reach the mine unless by airship.
There are a dozen or more men in the
crew-
It is believed all are safe and that
work is progressing steadily under
ground at the mine and It Is known
their camp is well supplied with food.
No word can be received from there
for several weeks and it may be two
months or more before any message
comes from ther.
LIPS FASTENED WITH PINS
Raving Maniac's Jaws Pried Open in
Los Angeles Hospital.
IXS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Fastening his lips together with safety
pins so he could not curse, Vernon E.
Bennett, formerly a missionary among
the Indians, was carried, a raving maniac,
into the Receiving Hospital yesterday.
It was necessary for Nurse Morgan and
Probation Policeman Leo Marden to pry
his jaws apart with instruments to get
at the ordinary pins and needles with
which he had filled his mouth.
Bennett has been mentally unbalanced
before. In his early manhood days he
was a missionary among the Indians,
and he continued his work with them
until his health compelled him to retire.
DR. PARKER IS IMPROVING

Word was received yesterday by friends
!n Portland that E. H. Parker, the Port
land surgeon who has been critically ill
with pneumonia at Avalon, Cal., is past
the critical stage and Is steadily improv
ing. His pulse was reported at 36 and his
temperature 101. which symptoms point
to a change for the better.

LANDIS YET SHOWS FIGHT
Visit, of Assistant Attorney-General
Ellis to Chicago Falls to Fix
Breach Between Wash
ington and Judge.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30. (Special.) More
sensational than Judge . Kenesaw M.
Landls' remarkable charge to the Fed
eral grand jury when It assembled a
week ago, will be the coup that is to
be sprung in the beef Investigation,
when United States District Attorney
Edwin W. Sims and Assistant District
Attorney James B. Wllkerson have
built up the foundation of their -cases
against the packers.
This Is the apparently authentic re
port that today percolated out of the
Federal building, where Mr. Sims and
Mr. Wllkerson spent part of the day
scrutinizing evidence that is to be sub
mitted to the grand jury thiB week.
Laying each .stone in the superstruc
ture of their case with Infinite care, to
assure against the possibility of the
discovery of technical flaws, the Fed
eral lawyers will occupy most of the
week In presenting to the grand jury
documentary evidence and testimony of
an apparently uninteresting nature.
Telling Evidence to Walt.
But the big evidence in the case,
the. evidence which Judge Landls is
guarding zealously against even the
queries of Washington authorities, and
which. It Is expected by attaches ot
the District Attorney's office, will re
sult In the return o. x half , dozen
sleeping indictments, will not be
brought In the least detail until each
preliminary step has been nailed hard
and fast.
These disclosures will be slammed
down before the members of the grand
jury which, It Is said, will not. only
strike Chicago's packing town, but will
be felt In New York and Washington
as well. . . .
Persistent reports that the visit to
Chicago of Assistant Attorney-General
Wade H. Ellis had done nothing to
bridge over the controversy between
Washington and Judge Landls were un
consciously given color today by Oliver
E. Pagln, the Government's so-called
"Indictment expert," and attaTches of
the District Attorney's office.
Expert to Stay Indefinitely.
Questioned at the Congress Hotel,
Mr. Pagln stated that he will remain
in Chicago indefinitely. When assis
tants to the District Attorney were
asked regarding Mr. Pagln, they said
that they understood that he was to
return to Washington at once.
It then developed that the emissary
from the Department of Justice and

Greatest Industrial Battle In History
of" Country Believed to Be
Impending Now.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 30. One of the
greatest Industrial battles In the his
tory of the United States Is Impending,
In the belief of the United Mine Work
ers of America.
The convention of the organization,
which has been in session for two
weeks, will adjourn tomorrow night
and It Is probable that a majority of
the 100 delegates will go to Toledo
for the Joint conference with the
bituminous operators of Eastern Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, which will
open Tuesday.
This conference will negotiate a
wage contract for these districts to go
Into effect April 1, and this tri-state
contract is to be the basis of uniform
contracts In all other districts of the
United States and Canada.
'Mine operators, according to reports,
will not yield to demands for an in
crease in wages and some take the
stand that conditions warrant a de
crease. The sentiment in the miners'
union is unanimously for a general
strike If the operators refuse a wage
Increase of at. least 10 per cent.
Western Pennsylvania miners stand
for a 20 per cent Increase on the ground
that the settlement of their recent
strike against the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany resulted In a decrease of 10 per
cent from the wage contract signed by
the last Joint trl-state conference.

CINCINNATI, Jan. SO. On the 10th an
niversary of the assassination of William
Goebel, the funeral of his brother, Arthur
Goebel, who died In Phoenix, Ariz., on
January 20, was held In Covington, Ky.,

Commonwealth Attorney F. B. Franklin,
in his funeral oration, declared that "the
bullet that killed William Goebel, to
gether with the liberation of all those
charged with the murder, just as cer
tainly killed Arthur Goebel." Arthur, he
said, died of a broken heart.

PLATFORM TO BE REVISED
"Party of Color" Could Win if
Held Together.
REPUBLIC IS PROSPEROUS
CJomez's Appointment of Sangullly
Viewed With Some Apprehension
by Americans, Whose Coming
He Opposed In Part.
HAVANA, Jan. 30. Organization of a
distinct Negro party, with the avowed
purpose of obtaining control of the
Cuban government. Is being agitated
through the republic and the move
ment has become menacing from the
viewpoint of the whites. This issue has
been brought to public notice recently
by race conflicts upon the hotel ques
tion, and the numerical strength of the
negroes, united, gives It portent.
Provision, the organ of the Partido
Independente de Color (Independent
Party of Color) prints the newly-constructed
platform of the party, which
contains these significant provisions:
"Teh Independent Party of Color shall
be organized throughout the whole re
public with a national character, to
maintain Its equilibrium toward all
Cuban Interests.
"The republic of equality, sovereign
and Independent, without race discrim
inations or social antagonisms, shall get
our support."
Negro Rule Possible.
To what extent promoters o the new
movement may be successful remains to
be seen, but there can be no doubt that.
If the organization of the negro race as
a political party ever should be ef
fected, It would rule the republic-.
The importance of the Congressional
elections In July can hardly be over
estimated. It is not so much a question
of which party shall return the greater
number of candidates as whether the
Independent republic, unaided by Ameri
can supervision, shall prove itself com
petent to conduct an absolutely fair
and peaceful election.
President Gomez' appointment of Sen
ator Manuel Sangullly as Secretary of
State ends the long suspense regarding
that important office. It is significant
that the President should have gone out
of the ranks of all political parties to
select Sangullly, who ever has been an
Independent of the Independents.
The Americans are disposed to re
gard the President's choice as unfortu
nate In view of Sangullly's avowed hos
tlllty to everything American.
Sangullly Is Anti-American.
The Senator lived In Harlem in the
war of 'the revolution and returned to

Eskimo Life, Wild Animals to
Be Caught by Lens.
MONTREAL, Que., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Another expedition, apart from that to
be led by Captain Bernler, Is to Invade
the Arctic regions. In the Spring, B.
Chesterfield, of Montreal, will lead a small
band of moving-picture men to the Far
North, the expedition being financed by
an American concern.
Mr. Chesterfield, who has passed 13
years in the northernmost post of the
Hudson's Bay Company, has completed
arrangements for a trip with Otto Sellg,
head of combined movlng-pocture con
cerns ,of the v United States. Chesterfield
will be able to provide exciting situations
and moving pictures will be taken of
Eskimo life and customs, and of wild
Northern animals In their native state.
It Is understood that this Arctic expe
dition is only one of several that have
started out to the dark corners of the
earth with the same object in view.
RICH ZONE AWAITS LINE
St. Lawrence & Cngava Railroad to
Open Diamond Territory.
OTTAWA, Ont., Jan. 30. (Special.)
An Immense virgin territory, the value
and scope of which is beyond compu
tation at present, will be opened by
the proposed St. Lawrence & Ungava
Railroad, the construction of which Is
expected to begin in the Spring.
Dr. G. D. Condle, of Montreal, has
just returned from an extensive trip
through Hinterland of Quebec province
as far as Hudson Bay. He says the
country, of which he only skimmed a
small portion, Is extremely rich In min
erals and water-power. Gold and sil
ver, copper. Iron, asbestos and man
ganese have been found In paying
quantities and Dr. Condie says a large
diamond field lies East of Hudson Bay.
The- new railroad will run in an
almost direct north line from a point
on the St. Lawrence River to a point
on Hudson Bay. a distance of approx
imately 1000 miles. It is estimated
that there are water-powers along the
projected line of railway capable of de
veloping 10,000,000 horsepower. and
when the road is completed electricity
will be the chief motive power. .

8000 Cheer Feat.
BAKERSFIELD, Cal., Jan. 30. Charles
K. Hamilton sailed over Hudnut Park
today in his Curtlss biplane, vociferous
applause of 8000 enthusiastic spectators
cheering the feat.
Special trains brought thousands of
visitors here to the first aviation meet
ever held in the San Joaquin Valley.
Owing to the roughness of the ground in
the infield of the park, Hamilton, in
alighting after his second flight, damaged
hie machine to such an extent that he
was unable to make further flights.
In his two flights, Hamilton easily cir
cled the park and flew over the grand
stands, making side trips to East Bakers
field, and the Kern River oil fields at a
varying height of from 50 to 500 feet.

sea level He made an average speed of
about 30 miles an hour and Indulged in

After the flight Paulhan expressed his
disappointment that he was unable to fly

fore Warrants Are Is
sued, if at All.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 30. (Special.)
An expert's personal views of pathology
arid the deductions he has made In weeks
of work may be some of the things heard
this week by the coroner's Jury which is
to investigate the death of Thomas H.
Swope, the Missouri millionaire.
That the Inquest is to be held either
Tuesday or Wednesday is a certainty.
That Dr. Ludwlg Hektoen, criminal ex
pert and pathologist, is to come to Kansas
City to testify is also assured, if needed.
On a conference in Chicago today may
hang the question of arrests.
The necessity of Dr. Hektoen's visit to
Kansas City will be determined by Dr.
B. F. Zwart. County Coroner, on his visit
to Chicago. With John G. Paxton. an
attorney for the Swope- family, Virgil
Conkllng. Prosecuting Attorney, Dr.
Zwart left for Chicago tonight. A con
ference between the Kansas City men and
Dr. Walter Haines. Dr. V. C. Vaughan
and Dr. Hektoen. the scientists who have
been conducting the chemical and patho
logical work, will be held as' soon as
possible after the party arrives.
All Scientists May Be Needed.
"Perhaps," Dr. Zwart said, "there may
be no need for any of the scientists. Then ;
again, the evidence submitted to the con- ;
ference may be such that one or perhaps
all of the physicians may be called here." .
In the time that Dr. Hektoen has been i
working on the ease he has never made ai
written statement of his finding. From j
time to time he has talked to Mr. Paxton j
regarding the things -that have come be-,
fore him, and It is believed that the Jury !
will be Interested in these deductions.
Therefore, to get them before that jury
in the proper form, the doctor will be j
needed in Kansas City personally, and It j
Is believed that the attorneys for the
Swopes will bring him here. '
The need for the presence of Dr. Haines,
however, will be a different matter. That
eclentlst has written out the result of his
work In such a manner that it can ba
given to a Jury whether the doctor Is here
or not.
Test Going Further.
"However." a friend of the Swope- fam
ily said. "Dr. Haines has r.ot finished his
