APPEAL FOR HELP - MANY KILLED. I ! TOPEKA, Kaa, June 2. The flood situation in Topeta. isniht can be briefly summarized thus: Known dead v 48; river has fallen three feet and is now. receding at the rata of two 'Inches an hour; ! the distress i will bo great among the refugees; Governor Bailer has Jssued a proclamation calling for help for the flood sufferers of the state; fifty", deputy sheriffs, rmed with Win chesters, go to North Topeka to pro tect the property, with orders to shoot looters whenever they are caught steal ing; there will be an appeal made- to the fraternal organizations and ap Ieals through various sources; a meet ing of the representative people oi North Topeka. who are on the South Side, was heid today to arrange for a systematic protection of their property In North Topeka; -Immediately after the meeting large jmmber of armed men left In boats for the North Side. here they will guard all property, and their orders are to shoot. The river is three below high water mark. The wate has receded on Kan sax avenue to the platform on the Rock Island depot, a distance of 250 feet. The situation In the stricken dis tricts is better than it has been yet, for .the reason that fewer people are marrnoned In houses, in trees, and on islands. There Is no way of getting at the 'amount of the damage done by the flood In Topeka and vicinity. The dam age may reach $2,000,000. Crops In the KanMS bottoms are destroyed. This makes an enormous loss to the farm ers.' Governor Bailey tonight will com municate with the Federal authorities and hopes he will have no trouble In securing the use of whatever tents are needed. , . . Can't Msssure the Less. Kansas City. Mo, June 2. A blue sky was visible above Kansas City this afternoon at 4 o'clock, ,lhe rains have ended; the sun was visible for the first time in a week, and for this and other reasons It is thought that the great danger of the floods are past. The wa ters of the Kaw river have fallen, eight inches, today and 4onight are steadily declining at the rate of about half an lni-h per,Ahour. In Missouri the high stage of: thirty-five feet is still main tained, but this la due to the rise which has been coming o.t tne Missouri proper, nd has been able to offset the full in the Kaw. It Is the water of the latter stream, however, that has caus ed alt the destruction In this city, and In Kansas City. Kansas, and with It at a normal stage, business in Kansas i City would shortly resume the usual conditions. This city has. by a nar row margin, escaped serious shortage in food; has faced the peril of fire, ut terly helpless to avert Its consequences, and has suffered millions of dollars of damage ito property and sustained a Ions of life .that, in ail probability, nev er will be accurately measured, and now it Is commencing to believe in a promise of better things. - Tonight the situation shows lm-1 proveroent on almost every side, and the waters are falling. The day brought to light no fact on which o base even an approximation of the deaths in the Mood. Pofwibly ten bodies have been seen floating iilnce Sunday, but estim ates from this are valueless, as the bodies may have floated down the Kaw from Topeka. or the bodies, "changing with the ever-changing eddies of the flood, may have been counted several times, and partially submerged wreck sge may have been mistaken for bod ies ASSASSIN NOT SHOT i JOHN (WILKES , BOOTH SAID TO HAVE LIVED UNTIL.

An Indictment would re lieve the Government from the neces sity of disclosing its evidence prior to the trial of the case in : court, and would require the re-arrest of Machen on a bench Warrant and the furnishing of fresh bonds.

KANSAS CITY, . Mo., June 2. The Journal tomorrow will say The Chicago. Burlington Qulncy pasenger train No. 3. from. Chicago to Kansas City," due here at o'clock on Sunday afternoon, has been lost track of. It Is not deemed possible, nor a thought entertained by the railroad of ficials that the -train has run into the flood. Men have been started on horse back to Liberty with orders to keep as close as possible to the track -and to luvestigate what Is known as a great washout two : miles east of Birming ham. The possibilities of "the train having fumbled Into the washout' are remote to a degree because many peo ple are constantly along the railroad routes and they would have been some parts of the wreckage.
