DAMAGE BY FLOOD


Railroads Washed Away-Peopie Find Refuge
in Tree Tops
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 23.-The heavy
rain storm of last week caused many
washouts and did damage to the railroads
in Southwestern Missouri, Arkansas and
Indian territory. The Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Memphis, the Pittsburg and
Gulf, the Missouri Pacific and the Iron
Mountain were the greatest sufferers from
the storm. All of these lines were com
pelled to lay new tracks in places, and
traffic has been interfered with Two of
the iron spans of the bridges across the
Grand river on the Wagner division of
the Missouri Pacific between Wagner and
Fort Smith were washed away.
Reports from Wagner, |. T., say the
Grand river food continues to rise, and
now averages depth of from seventy to
eighty feet in the channel. Great desola-
ton is being caused. Houses, wagons and
farm animals of all descriptions are seen
floating down the torrent. Men and
women were found in tree tops today,
where they had been for thirty-six hours
without shelter or food. They we're rescued
by a party in boats. One woman was
seen in a wagon box going down stream,
calling for assistance, but so rapid was
the current that nothing could be done to
save her.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-In official cir

Venezuela. It. is said this can be accom-.

Great Britain in the deliberations. There
is no doubt of the refusal of the British to
take formal recognition of the commission.
but it is believed that the United States
will take the initiative to secure from the
British foreign office a statement of the
British case.

CURRENCY QUESTIONS.
The banking and currency committee
held meeting today and formulated
several requests for information to comp
troller of the currency to be used in the
preparation of the currency bill that will
be prepared after the holidays. Among
the inquiries Is one calling on the comp
troller of the currency for information as
to the relative stability of large and small
banks. Mr.. Walker, chairman of the COM
mittee, expects the bill reported to follow
closely the lines of the bill he offered in the
last congress-, which provided for an eX-
tension of national banking system end
the issue OF circulation against deposits of
greenbacks.
THE ISSUE OF BONDS.
1t can be stated on authority that the
rumor that the president had decided to
announce another bond issue at once is
without foundation. The only members
who saw the president were Secretary
Lamont, who just returned to the city and
called to; pay his respects, Oiney and
cussed informally, but the question of inn
mediate issue of bonds was not considered.
Indeed, it is stated that in view OF the
presidents recent message to congress,
asking for legislation which might render
another issue unnecessary. it would be
scant courtesy to that body to anticipate
its negative action. The president has
himself repeatedly stated, however, he
would protect the public credit at what
ever cost should the necessity of the stu-
alton require heroic action, but the pres
ent moment 1t is argued such necessities
have not arisen, Moreover it is doubted
whether, in view of the present state OF the
money market at home and abroad, a
large loan could be floated except at great
sacrifice to the government. With money
at % per cent it is not seen how exporters
can afford to make any shipments of gold,
and for this reason apprehension for large
Withdrawals predicted before the break in
the market occurred is no longer felt.
There seems to be, however, no reasonable
doubt that should heavy gold shipments be
resumed and congress fails to pass any
remedial legislation, the president would
issue bonds to any amount the situation
might justify.

THE DAWSON CLAIM
The Damaged Britisher's Neighbors Laugh at
Exaggerated Claim


Exaggerated Claim
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 23.-Gov. Holcomb
today received a letter from Secretary Oh
ney enclosing the request of the British
ambassador for $4,000, growing out of
the assault on the English family of Daw-
son of Nebraska by the McCarty outlaw
gang. The Dawsons claim their property
was damaged to that extent by the alleged
outlaw band.
The claim in Nebraska is regarded as not
only ridiculous but absurd. All the prop
erty the Dawsons had at the time was con-
tained in a small wagon drawn by two
broncos, the outfit probably worth 5000.
They were attempting to trade horses with
Vic McCartv, local tough and leader of a
gang Of ruffians A free light resulted, in
which the rufTians soundly thrashed the
McCartys, who sought safety in flight.
That ended the incident.
