Appalling Details Of the Great Flood
in Oklahoma.

Kansas City, April 3o.--A special to
the Times from Guthrie, O. T., says:
Five more bodies were recovered from
the debris left by Wednesdays storm
In West Guthrie The bodies Of Geo.
owen and Mrs. Charles Ruffins were
found on the west bank Of the river.
The bodies of Henry Simmons and Mrs.
watson and child were found under a
pile of hay near Cimarron. Mrs. Wat
son had her child clutched to her breast
in which position both met death. Scores
OF organized searching parties are at
work, but progress is slow, since tons OF
debris must be dug over in the search.
1t is believed that the rushing waters
OF the Cimarron conceal many corpses.
The Cimarron bottom contains quick
sand. and it is one of the most treach-
erous streams in the country. The bod
les of the dead will be buried forever.
The Cimarron river is jammed with
wreckage and the bodies of dead ami
mails. Farmers are fishing out and car
rying of the wreckage by carloads. The
rear portion of the Helm brewing plant
contained $4,000 worth of machinery,
which caved into the Cottonwood river
this morning. over 1900 homel ass peo-
pie are being cared for by the city.
The Santa F'e increased its force OF
trackmen 10 800 today and now has
that number of men at work souti
of Guthrie. The superintendent states
that the lines will be open TO the south
tomorrow. over four miles Of the SAINT
Fe Iuadbed was washed out. The San
Ia Fe will lose $4,000. The loss to tliS
city and county, by careful estimate
reaches 100000. Several costly bridges
were destroyed. Twelve persons ar,
missing.

No matter what may be the outcome
Of the war between Greece and Turkey,
the sympathy of a large portion Of the

Is strongly with the former nation.
The historic associations Of Greece are
such. when compared and contrasted
with the Turkish record. that 1t could
not be otherwise. The only wonder
is that the Turk is allowed to continue
to cucumber the earth, and especially
that portion Of it which riShtfully be

Supervising Architect Aiken Asked to
Resign.

Washington, May 3.-The resignation
of w. M. Aiken, supervising architect
OF the treasury, has been asked for by
Secretary Gage. This request has been
anticipated for a week or more. AL
though no official statement in regard
to the matter has yet been made by
the secretary Of the treasury, it has
been known that Mr.. Aiken's work has
not been altogether satisfactory to Mr..
Gage, and hence his determination to
make a change. Mr.. Aiken is compar-
atively a young man and it is alleged
has not had sufficient experience in his
profession to justify his retention in an
office that should be filled only by men
Of the highest standing and widest ex-
perience as architects and builders.
Millions Of dollars are expended by the
government each yea in the construct
ton of buildings, which,, Mr.. Gag
holds, should be models Of their kline
and the expression of the best archi-
tectural thought of the age. Who will
succeed Mr.. Aiken is not known. The
place is now under civil service rules,
but it is believed that the civil service
commission would readily agree to
some modification of the regulations by
which the best available talent in the
country could be secured through an
examination to be conducted by a
board of architects of national reputa-
ton, in which the amount of high class
work done by the applicant would
largely determine his rating. No def
mite plan, however, has yet been formu-
lated and may not be for some weeks.
Mr.. Aiken declined today to make any
statement in regard to the matter. The
compensation of the government arch
itect is 81, 500 per annum.
