"With rains continuing to fall throughout most of the Missouri River -and Kan sas River Valleys, and more predicted for tomorrow, P. Connor, Government weather observer here, announced to night that a flood rivaling that of 1903 Is possible in Kansas City before the enormous quantity of water is drained. Iato tonight the Kansas River began bncking water into the lower sections of. the Argentine district of Kansas City. Kan., a district which has suf fered seriously in flood times. Both the Missouri and Kansas Rivers are rising steadily. The total Tamfall for 1his vicinity in 21 hours was 3.16 Inches. "It looks dangerous." Mr. Connor an nounced tonight. "If two or three Inches of vain falls within the next 24 hours there will be a flood sure." Menffor reports coming from isolated sections tell of several deaths by floods snd the lightning which accompanied the storm. All streams in the district are over flowing or ore nearlng flood stage. The Kansas River, the largest in the district, was reported rising four inches an hour at Manhattan, Kan., and was said to be only three feet be low the danger mark. Growing Crops Flooded. Sevcr."l rail ron ds have reported washouts in addition to those caused by yesterday's storm. Thousands of acres of growing crops In the river valley of the storm covered district have been covered by the flood waters. Reports from Little Rock, Ark., in dicate that heavy rains have caused a further rise in the Arkansas River snd that heavy damage threatens along its course in this state. At Bigelow, the Arkansas has backed into the Fourche River, caus ing it to overflow, and has stopped traffic on the Fourche River Valley & Indian Territory Railroad. Near Van Buren a levee broke to day and the river begun overflowing ricli bottom farms in Crawford County. I Strength of lVfm Doubted. At Pardanelle the river tonight was three feet above flood stage and still rising. Tt is feared that the levees cannot stand the strain much longer mid that a large district will be flooded. Wind and rain storms which swept over Kastern Oklahoma have added two names to the death toll and have caused a property damage that may reach hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Mrs. John Kirkland was drowned when a cloudburst struck Thomasville today. W. W. Wood, an employe of a pipeline company, was killed by lightning at Munnford.

This information was contained in a statement issued by the general staff of the army of the Caucasus. HE Apollo Club, male chorus. dded to its record of vocal chievements by its "home-talent" unaccompanied-choral-singing success in its concert last night at the Heilig Theater. The two soloists were Paul Wes singer, baritone, and Josenh P. Mulder, tenor, two members of uie club. Rarely has the Apollo Club presented such an exacting programme of first class excellence. Finished vocal rendi tions were given. So quiet and. serious were 11 of the dozen choruses sung that the large audience - was not so demonstrative as usual. ' One Hearty Encore Given. The one hearty demand for a repeti tion of a choral number came in sing ing the rollicking "Mandalay," no doubt because it is very amusing and fetches a laugh. Cynics say that, now adays, only amusing vocal selections are heartily encored by American audi ences. If the Apollo Club had sung two half-vaudeville numbers the re sult would have been, undoubtedly, two uproarious recalls. This time the chorus was better massed together, and sang, therefore, with greater ease and cohesion. The singers were not "boxed" in the or chestra shell, as previously, and were seated in three rows, with the front of the stage open and all scenery, at the rear. VolcrH Are Well Blended. The singing found free vent. This time the chorus voices reached the audience in perfect ensemble, with no one body of 'voices burying another. It was possible to hear the tenors sing the air or carrying tune. Committee Warned to Aid in Selecting Chamber Manager. ANNUAL SALARY IS $7500 Xon-Kes.ideiit of Portland Kegurded as Having Best Chance B. S. Josselyn, Xow of Chicago, Is Prominently Mentioned. A special committee has been named by the Chamber of Commerce directors to consider the qualifications of a score or more of applicants for the office ot general manager of the organization a position tnai carries with it a salary of $7500. It is apparent that if the right" man can be procured the position will be given to a. non-resident of Portland. However, this is not preventing local talent from offering ita services. Although the entire directorate finally must pass on the appointment of the general manager, the special committee has undertaken the task of weeding out" the less desirable appli cants from the great number of more desirable ones. This committee consists of C. C. Colt, president of the Chamber; O. M. Clark, vice-president, and Nathan Strauss, all representing the trade and commerce bureau; and E. L. Thompson, John T. Dougall and Frank E. Smith, of the membership coucil. Mr. Smith is secretary of the chamber and now is acting as general manager pro tern. Mr. Smith Refuses Office. Many members of the chamber have ursred recently that Mr. Smith himself be appointed to the high-salaried ot fice. inasmuch as he apparently has made a good start in the position, but Mr. Smith has steadfastly declined to consider it. Amone- the more prominent candi dates frequently mentioned as likely of appointment is B. S. Josselyn, ex presldent of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, wno nas many supporters among the general membership and on the Doara oi ai rectors. Mr. Josselyn, it is understood, is not an active candidate, but doubt less would accept the position, it is said. He now is residing in Chicago. J. Fred Larson was considered seri ously for the place, but he has been appointed secretary of the membership committee, a permanent position, and has declined to become a candidate for the general managership. George D. Lee, -who recently was made secretary of the trade and commerce bureau, also was considred as a possibility until he assumed that position. C. C. Chapman, who was manager of the Commercial Club before its merger with the Cham ber of Commerce, also has been urged as a possibility, but since he has em barked in the newspaper business he refuses to consider the new office. Outside Man la 'Wonted. At this period of progress the chances for nn out-of-town man securing the appointment are good and it is appar ent that the commin.ee m - a large neia irom which m man. It has been generally annuunceu that a salary of $7500 will be paid and this figure has been decidedly attract ive to able men in all parts of the country. While tflis price has been tentatively fixed, It is not at all in cumbent on the directors to pay it. If thfv rrvn secure a man for less money they expect to do so. It may be neces sary, too, to pay more,, it is recui mu. The committee now is in communica tion with various men in different parts of the country. Few of them have con sented to consider the place without first coming here to look the situation over. One man now located at Toledo, O. was here yesterday. He is being seri ously considered, among a field of others, from various Eastern cities who likewise will visit Portland within th next few weeks. It is pointed out, in favor of stranger, that he will be unhampered bv local prejudices and that he will not be partial to any particular element of the chamber. While the committee expects to take action as soon as is consistent with cood results, its members do not pro pose to act in haste. It is doubtful, it Lis said, whether an appointment will be made before June la. STAFF OF JVULITIA MEETS Committee Audits Accounts and Adopts New System. The reorganized staff of the Oregon Naval Militia Thursday held its nst meeting in the offices of Adjustant-Ge neral George White,, of the Oregon Na tional Guard. The members of the staff formed a committee -and audited the accounts of the naval branch of the state defense forces. They then proceeded to adopt a new system of keeping the money and property ac counts of the organization. It was decided to send a rifle team from the state forces to cdmpete in the coming national shoot at Jacksonville Fla. The Oregon representation will THE ad ac MANY SEEK POSITION Two vocal gems, "Maiden With Lips so Rosy" and "Marietta," two tender, fairy-like sentimental ballads, were well sung, but were placed too near the opening part of the programme to be appreciated thoroughly. "The Lamp, In the West," words by Ella Higginson, the Oregon poetess, is a splendid, reverential number. "Suomi's Song" is a red-letter vocal surprise, and was sung so well, espe cially by the tenors, that an encore was nearly registered. Audience Listens Enrapt. "The Broken Melody" is so sad and mournful that it awoke little response. "The Image of the Rose," with tenor solo by George F. Mead, was sung so splendidly by Mr. Mead and chorus that part of it had to be repeated. Mr. Wessinger sang three songs of "leider," or ballad,' quality with much success, lie displayed a voice of caress ing beauty, and is a master of expres sion. His encore was a new arrival in the West, "I Wept, Beloved, as 1 Dreamed" (Hue). Mr. Wessinger, who is one of the best baritones in the Pa cific Northwest, was rewarded with an immense bouquet of flowers, sent by an unknown admirer. His accompanist was Charles Dierke. ' Mr. Mulder, a young tenor of prom ise and vocal worth, was heard with success in three songs, which were sung with fine sentiment. His voice was clear and sparkling. His encore was "Magical June." W. H. Boyer directed with skill and ability. The two club accompanists were Ed gar E. Coursen and William C. McCul-loch. be determined by open competition as heretofore. The Portland Armory will be remod eled to provide for the accommodation of three more company organizations. These quarters will be occupied by the newly-authorized machine gun com pany and supply companies. Tho former company will be com manded by Captain Carl Ritterspacher, regimental commissary v of the Third Oregon Infantry. This company will have the full strength and equipment prescribed for like companies in the regular infantry. Four automatic ma chine rifles or machine guns will be supplied by the War Department. There are some 52 vacancies in the new company. Guard officers predict that these will be speedily filled, as this branch of the service has many novel and interesting features, and the company should prove to be a select organization, according to the officers. Troop A, Oregon Cavalry, will at tend services in a body Sunday at the First Tresbyterian Church. The troop will march to the church under Cap tain Frank P. Tebbets, troop com mander.

"People laughed at us," he said. "when we said that a universal war would break out in Europe with Turkey and her territory as the eventual bone of contention. But what for 50 years we have proclaimed as facts based on Bible prophecies has come to pass. Thus those who believe In Bible prophecies have had their faith con firmed in the truth of God's word. "Twenty-five hundred years ago the prophet Daniel saw and recorded the events that are now taking place, and John the revelator had a vision of the time when all the nations of the earth would be angry, and following this a universal war oallea Armageddon,' to be fought near Jerusalem. We are nearing the final step in the last of the prophecies that remain to be ful filled. Our work is to take the gospel to all the world as soon as possible, to work the more strenuously though the difficulties increase, as they will do." H. W.

RESCUERS FIND CAVE-IN Long Immunity 1'rOni Disaster Is Broken by Explosion; Thirteen Get Out KaTely; No Hope Held of Savins Any Others. NANAIMO, B. C May 28. The long immunity which Nanaimo has enjoyed from serious accidents in local mines was rudely broken when a disastrous explpsion occurred at Reserve Mine, Western Fuel Company. The accident took place at 4 o'clock this afternoon, just after the change In shifts. At the time of the explosion there were 36 men in the mine, and of this number 13 escaped unhurt and reached the surface safely within an hour. Four others were recovered shortly after ward, of whom three were dead and one fatally injured. This left 19 men unaccounted for. and there is no hope of any of them being saved. The total casualty list, therefore, is 22, and no hope is entertained of recovery of the injured man who was brought out and is now in a local hospital. Members of the rescue party say that the bottom of the intake shaft is piled up with cars and the body of the cage man has not yet been recovered. There are evidences of greater force further in, and signs of flame and heat, with here and there the usual cave ins. As soon as practicable exploration of the mine was begun and men equipped with Draeger helmets reached to with in a short distance of the face. They found no sign of fire in the mine, but a number of cave-ins satisfied them beyond all doubt that none of the men in the mine could be alive. lnjnred-Womon Rcstinjr. Mrs. J. A.
