The FLOOD IS SUBSIDING
BUT CONDITIONS AT EAST ST. LOUIS
ARE STILL DEPLORABLE.
Railways Further Crippled by the
stopping of an Electric Line Which
Was Used to Transfer.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-The river is falling
in twenty-four hours. This rate will proba-
bly, be increased by Sunday or Monday to
one foot in twenty-four hours, and it is
predicted by the local weather bureau that
without floods from above or additional
rainfall the river will go down to the dan
ger line-thirty feet-by the latter part of
next week.
There is very little change in the situation
in East st. Louis except that the falling
river has filled the hearts of the flood suf-
ferers with hope of speedy relief from dis
comfort and peril, and will soon enable
them to return to their ordinary pursuits
and manner of living. 1t is expected that
the embargo caused by the high water will
be lifted at the stockyards. where business
has been entirely suspended during the past
few days, early mex week.
All trains on the Missouri Pacific, Iron
Mountain, Missouri, Kansas & Texas and
st. Louis and San Francisco roads are
leaving the Union Station on schedule
time and are arriving with almost equal
promptness. With the exception of the
Burlington, the Wabash and the Chicago
& Alton, train service 20 the West and
Southwest from st. Louis is up to the
usual standard.
Traffic to and from Eastern points is in
worse shape at the present than 1t has
been since the flood began. The stoppage
of the East st. Louis Belleville electric
line on account of the high water prevents
the transfer of passengers to Edwards
Vile, Belleville and Collinsville, where the
Glover Leaf, the Southern, the Louisville
& Nashville and the Vandalia established
terminals. The Wabash is still running
by roundabout way trains to Chicago
and the East. The Illinois Central which
received passengers at the Broadway via
duct, East st. Louis, Friday. has removed
its station to the foot of Trendley avenue.
The Mobile & Ohio, the Chicago, Peoria
& ST. Louis and the st. Louis Valley roads
are not running at ALL The Big Four, the
Burlington and the Chicago & Alton still
have excellent steamboat service between
here and Alton, their terminal.

county All the records are now complete
and they win remain certified as they are
for the perusal Of a higher court, In case

Judge De Hart entered an order granting
the petition OF the guardian to draw on the

was paid over to the guardian, Mr.. Chase.

In the Moses Fowler Chase case, said:
There seems 10 be some misapprehension
as to allowances. Neither court, strictly
speaking. can make allowances. The costs
IN the case are taxed by the clerk and will
be paid by the guardian. Other claims may
be paid by the guardian, subject to the ap-
prevail OF the court. II the claimants can
not agree with the guardian as to the
amount OF their compensation, their remedy
will be TO sue the guardian Mr.. Fred s.
Chase, as guardian, Will file his reports In
the Tippecanoe Circuit Court, which will
have 10 approve them before they become
valid In his favor.

BAILEY REPLIES TO WARE.



TOPEKA, Kan. June 1s-Governor Bailey
tonight gave out the following reply to
Pension Commissioner Ware regarding the
needs of Kansas flood sufferers:
II regret more than / can tell that the
word has gone forth that we need no more
aid from outside the State for our people
who have suffered from the recent floods,
and especially that this has been pro-
claimed by any one seeming to be a rep
resentative kansan. Within the past week
l have visited the stricken district. includ-
ing Kansas City, Argentine, North Topeka
and the fertile valley between Topeka and
Kansas City, and from what 1 saw and
heard the calamity that has befallen our
State Is more appalling than was feared
loss of life was less, yet the property loss
and suffering is many times greater than
was entailed by the Galveston disaster.
True, Kansas is prosperous, and her
people are generous and charitable, and
will meet to the limit of their ability the
demand upon their charity. but when the
the fact will remain that we will be hum
dreds of thousands short of having the
means to meet the demands of those who
have a claim upon our humanity, and in the
great calamities that have befallen the diff
ferent sections of our country in the past
Kansas has responded from her bounty. We
contributed generously TO the relief OF
JohnStown and Charleston, and In money
clothes and food supplies were sent nearly
one-half million dollars TO the flood suf-
ferers at Galveston, and this was done by
the conditions that appealed to our charity
and our humanity.
To-day Kansas finds more than thirty
thousand of her people practically home
less, from no fault of their own and one
of her fertile valleys, representing an area
two hundred miles long and five miles
wide, that but a few days ago was covered
by happy homes and filled with promise is
now a watery waste.
In view of all these facts, l wish to say
10 the charitably inclined everywhere your
contributions will be welcome; they are
needed to relieve the necessities OF the hour
and very dollar will be used TO relieve the
sufferings of those who are deserving and
needy"

per cent. in the wages of the hot mill

standing the wage scale for the year had
been signed, in order that ii might secure
the extensive order of the Standard Oil

boxes a year. The matter, which for a

finally settled by the men agreeing to ac-
cept a per cent. reduction on all work

getting the Standards business, at once
met the cut OF the American manufac-
