. Conditions Improved.
"Columbus, O., March 31. The flood

' Following a conference with General
Leonard Wood, chief . of staff of the

would see the flooded districts restored
to normal conditions.
Secretary Garrison wired President
Wibon this afternoon, complimenting
Governor Cox on tho way the latter
had handled the flood situation.
"Cox," tho message said, "has been
beset with problems so perplexing as to
be almost appalling In nature, but he
las handled them with the rarest skill,
courago and resourcefulness.
"I am able to assure you and the
eomitry that the Ohio flood situation
has been met.
"The national guard of Ohio acquit-
ted itself most creditably all tho way.
"All places heretofore inaccessible
lave been, or soon will be, roachod with
.-an abundaneo of supplies."

Shawneetown in Danger.
Shawneetown, Ind., March 31.
Those romnining here are quarterod in
the upper stories of their homos, bb it
Is expected tho wator will overtop tho
levess tomorrow. Sufficient boats to
rescue them are ready if needed.
Tho river has men seven feet In 24
hours, and a further 10-foot rise is im
minent. It ifl feared that when the
river overflows thetown will bo Bwcpt
away. New Haven, 111., 18 miles north
west of hero, is inundated.
' All the women and children must
' leave' Shawneetown by 4 o'clock this
afternoon, by order of tho authorities.
A dispatch from that place Indicates

San Francisco today. So acute has
the accident menace become on

or less pulchritude admiring
themselves in the Btrips of mir

the glasses are fast being remov
ed. Somo women have beon known
to ride from bottom to top and
top to bottom several times while
lout in the admiration of thoir re
flected charms. They usually
cause congestion, profane lan

Thinks It Would Take Uncle Sam
Years to Bring Them Under
Subjection.
25
That 25 years would be required for
the United States to conquer the poo
plo of Mexico, should intervention take
place is the declaration of Bishop Fran
cis J. McConnoll LL D., who Bpoke at
tho First Methodist church last night.
Bishbp McConnoll has just returned
from Mexico, whore ho has spent sovor
al years as director of tho work of the
Methodist church In that country.
Bishop McConnoll bases his opinion
on conversations he has had with lead
ing officors of tho United States army.
"This Is the opinion of the highest
officers of the rogular army," said the
bishop, 'not militia officers, who( are
itching for a fight, and who don't Know
anything about war, anyhow.
"The United States army could con
quer the Mexican armies in open bat
tle In a few daj. But what would that
avail! ' The Moxlcans would immedi
ately go into guerilla warfare and take
to. the mountain passes. The Mexicans
are not conquered when their armies arc
defeated. They have absolutely no con
cern about death and the women are
just as much unafraid as the men."
Bishop McConnoll spent many days
botween the opposing lines, and saw
friends and acquaintances killed all
about him. Ho declares, however, that
the Mexicans show a spirit of entire
fairness to Americans. The American
population was always warned when an
attack was to be mado, and requested
to betake themselves to the safest place
thoy could find.
One of the curses of Mexico, accord
ing to tho bishop, is the hold upon cer
tain portions of the country by Ameri
can corporations.
"Ono whole stato, which is hold by
an Amorican corporation," said the
speaker," doeB not pay a singlo red
cent in taxes. The American corpora
tions are not in that state for puroly
evangelical purposes. Their representa
tives are utterly regardless of tho feel
ings of the Mexicans, and their remarks
made in casual way are frequently in
suiting to tho natives."
The speaker paid a high tribute to
the American teachors who are in Mexi
co. Ho gave them credit for tho utmost
bravery, and also spoke In high terms
of the bravery in times of battle of
tho Catholic priests. In a school of
700 Mexican children at Pueblo, which
U under supervision of American
teachers, ho doclared, that in years
there have only been three cases of
smallpox, although the town is preva
lent with the disoaso continually IIo
attributed this result to vaccination nnd
leaulincsB, which is insisted upon and
mado compulsory in the school, IIo de
clared that during the war women
teachers in this and other schools were
so Interested In their work that they
absolutely refused to seek safety.

BY FIRS! OPINION
Thinks the State Should Go Ahead
Without Waiting for the Gen
eral Government. ,
That Governor Wost has not chaugod
his mind in regard to tho plan of hav
ing the state co-oporate with the gov
ernment in tho Columbia Southern re
clamation project was gathered from his
remarks today. Despito tho assurances
of Secrotary Lane that the government
will likely co-opcrato, the governor bo
lioves that the stato should go ahoad
and dovolop its project and not wait fo:
the government. IIo beliovcs that it
will bo impossible to carry on the work
together and it would ho an injustice to
settlers in tho district to further dolny
levclopment.
The governor pointed on that it takes
the government months and sometimes
years to decido on plans for a project
and there is no reason to beliovo that
the:o will be any change in procedure
in the present instance.
Governor West bolieveB the dam
should be built high enough to accom
modate tho state's project and if the
government wishes later on to develop
its tracts an addition could be built at
federal expense.
The $50,000 appropriation made by
the 1013 leglslaturo muBt be used during
the next two yeara and the governor
boliovcs thoro would be no delay in got-
ting the work started.
