Mr.. Foreman, who came here some
months ago looking for health, died
this week and his remains were re-

and has made disclosure of all its pur-

taken after the cabinet meeting today.
and luncheon at the White House that
followed served to reduce the siecIs,on
to the ultimate form.

been raining heavily, they had sought
the shelter Of their tents. Suddenly they
heard the awful and peculiar roar Of the
approaching cloudburst. 1t grew louder
every second. Realizing what had
happened, the unfortunate campers-men.
women and children-rushed from their
tents and tried to reach the higher
ground. In the confusion and darkness,
some turned the wrong way, and Were
soon struggling In mad torrents, battling
with tree trunks and wrecks Of cabins
and immense masses Of moving stone In
the bosom Of the flood. Thirteen lives
went out In that dire night. The bodies
found after showed the marks of buffet
ing with the debris in the flood Of waters,
and 1t Is believed that few, II any, Of the
unfortunates lost their lives by actual
drowning.
Occasionally the sudden downpour of
rain will be precipitated on q soft, yield
ing soil, and instead Of taking the form
OF q cloudburst with wave Of water
carrying everything before 1t, the whole
surface Of the ground win take on the
consistency of molasses and roll slowly
but irresistibly down the water courses.
This happened In Chalk canyon near
Mount Princeton in Colorado, three-years
ago. Chalk cliffs arg a peculiar torina-
called "chalk'' being OF lime nature,
which, after being dissolved In water,
quickly hardens again like cement. A
cloudburst began hign up on the sides
OF the mountain, washed away tons of
materials from the cliffs, and rolled the
mass slowly over the railroad tracks like
the pour of lava from Vesuvius. The
tracks We're covered to depth of six feet.
A gang of workmen was put to work
on the deposit, but 1t oozed in on the
tracks as fast as the men shoveled 1t out.
Finally all work was suspended and the
overflow hardened so quickly that track
was built over 1t. Within six hours of
the breaking OF the storm trains were
running over the deposit. So hard did
the "chalk" become that the railroad has
never penetrated to the old tracks, and In
the excavating that was done In relaying
the tracks permanently, dynamite had to
be used.

FREAKS OF CLOUDBURSTS.
Rocky Mountain Campers Caught In
One.
(From Ainslee's aMgaziae.)

Cloudbursts are sometimes very de-
structiye of life as well as of property.
They come up so suddenly that it Is al
most impossible to escape II the wayfarer
Is caught in the bed Of the creek. Camp
ers in the mountain regions usually select
the high ground above the creek rather
than pitch their tents close beside the
gentle rippling water which may become
a roaring torrent while thsy sleep, sweep
ing them to destruction before they know
that danger Is near. 1t was from neglect
Of this precaution that many lives were
lost In cloudburst near Morrison, COL,
