Oakland, Cal., May 28. Three large
dwelling houses, built by James L. Gal
lagher, cx-prcsident of the board of
supervisors and the prosecution's star
witness in the bribery-graft cases, at
Perkins and Belmont streets, this city,
were wrecked by dynamite tonight
shortly before midnight. The houses
were not yet occupied.
A heavy charge of dynamite, placed
in the kitchen of the largest of the
three houses, threw the building off the
foundations and almost completely
wrecked it. The houses were shat
tered, while many windows in the
neighborhood were broken by the
shock.
John Rollins, a watchman employed
by the contractor building the houses
for Gallagher, was sitting in a small
shack near the houses at the time, and
was thrown to the ground. He said
to Captain of Detectives Peterson that
he was through the three buildings
shortly before the explosion occurred.
It is said that Gallagher was negotiat

liryan sent n telegram to William How
ml Taft suggesting that tliov join in
urging congress to pass n bill matting
compulsory the publication of campaign
contributions. . . , ,
This move by Bryan is iookcu upon
as one of great wisdom by thc demo;
cratic leaders, who say it shows his
sincere determination to conduct his'
campaign without thc aid of great cor
porate influence.
Bryan's message reads as follows:
'Hon William Howard Taft, secretary
of war, Washington:

OKLAHOMA FLOODS RECEDING.
Property Loss Estimated $10,000,000
Eight Llvos Lost.
Guthrie. Okla., Mav 27. The sun is
shining in Oklahoma today, and the
flood waters are fast receding. No ad
ditional loss of life is reported, and the
homeless are beginning gradually to
return to their homes. Thc death roll
remains at eight.
With miles of tracks washed out and
bridges damaged or destroyed, thc rail
roads are still demoralized; train serv
ice on many lines must remain annulled
for several days yet. while on others
only a partial service fs possible. The
damage to crop's and railroads can, of
course, be only roughly estimated, but
a conservative figure places thc aggre
gate at close to $10,000,000. It marks
thc costliest disaster ever sustained cith
er in Oklahoma or thc Indian Terri
tory or by the new State of Oklahoma.
At Muskogee the Arkansas river con
tinued to rise up to last night, but this
morning began gradually to lower. At
that point 2,500 cotuumiers arc still
without gas as a result of thc princi
pal main breaking.
In West Guthrie, where more than
son houses were submerged, thc water
droned off fast today, and conditions
began to assume a normal aspect.
Around Shawnee, Sapulpa, Tulsa,
Jenks and other oints hundreds. of
railroad laborers arc at work repairing
tracks and bridges. At Stigler the Ca
nadian river has made a complete
change of course, and railroad bridges
that formerly spanned that stream are
rendered useless.

Recent Storm in Texas Cost at Least
100 Lives.
Dallas, Tex., May 27. As thc hours
pass thc horrors of the flood in this
section increase. It is believed the
complete list of dead, when compiled,
will show at least 100 lives to have
been lost. It is estimated that 10,000
people are homeless, having been driv
en from their houses by the raging wa
ters. Thc propei ty loss is estimated to be
at least $25,000,000 over the entire
stricken district.
The Trinity river has surpassed all
records. Lnst night it was believed the
crest of thc flood had been reached here,
but more rains in the north have sunt
