Fifty Thousand Made Homeless
81 Waste OF Waters in
Three States.

Death. wreck and devastation have
marched in the wake of great floods IN
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Many
have been drowned, hundreds placed
In mortal peril and tens of thou
sands driven from their homes by
raging rivers swollen beyond all pre-
vious measure by the rains. Two state
capitals Topeka and Des Moines-
were the centers of the ruin and suffer
ing. To the danger of the rushing
waters which had invaded both busi-
ness and residence districts OF both
capitals was added the more dreadful
peril of fire. Submerged, the water
works of both cities and a score of les
ser towns in the three States had been
shut down and no protection against
flames had been left to them.
Fire and flood are responsible for the
taking of 80 lives in North Topeka,
suburb of Topeka. Kan, directly
across the Kansas River.
Early Saturday afternoon one or two
of the water logged houses took fire.
With five miles of water all around
there was no means Of fighting the
flames. A high wind was blowing and
one of the burning buildings broke
loose from its foundations, and, swept
onward by the swirling current, spread
death and destruction on every hand.
Acres of Buildings Abiaze.
Soon the acres upon acres of sub
merged territory were dotted with
burning buildings, some stationary,
some wind blown from point to point.
The floating tircsh'ps ignited whatever
they touched These spread the flames
so rapidly that at cue time eighty sep
atate fires were counted from the
dome of the capitol.
All the preceding night and during
the daylight hours the root. of houses,
factories. and other buildings had been
Ravens of refuge for the men, women
and children who lived and were trap
per in the district. They had not suf-
fered fol want of food, even though
each house had ten feet of water in
it, and though the rapidity of the cur
rent prevented rescue by boat they all
hoped that in twenty-four hours or SO
the food would subside sufficiently to
allow their escape.
But when death by fire appeared be-
fore their eyes they became panic
stricken. In number of cases they
Jumped into the water long before
their arks of refuge were threatened
by the flames. preferring death by
drowning to their chances of being
caught by the fire.

Futile attempts We're made to escape
by every method that ingenuity
spurred on by the sight of rapidly adj
yancing death could suggest. Rats
were improvised. on which the women
and children were placed. Men threw
trunks. bureaus. tables and other arti-
Giles of furniture into the water. then
jumped on them. and sought to float to
safety. Those who escaped the float
ing fire as a general rule, We're Of little
value in buffeting the swirling torrent
full of burning drlftwood and the de-
bris of wrecked houses.
Business In Topeka was practically
at a standstill because OF Memorial
day and most of the stores were closed
the greater part of the day The food
and the condition of the sufferers took
the attention OF everyone. TO the exclu-
sion of all else. An army of men was
engaged in the relief work. and it
would be idle to attempt to place an
estimate on the immense number res
cued

It is feared that many deaths viii
result as the outcome OF the fearful
night spent by sufferers in the flooded
districts. Many sick persons were car
rlei out Of houses shout TO be swept
away and forced to remain without

head who has not yet signified his will
lingness to resign, all the others hav-
ing done SO. it is claimed. If he is the
only one remaining, we more than give
him credit for holding out, while yet
he is already read out of office by
those who are eager to see him retire.
This much can we say on his behalf.
He was not an applicant for the job,
but he was forced upon the party by
the present Republican Delegate and
was compelled to remove from his
home to this city, the Senate confirm
ing his forced nomination by the Gov
ernor. Had not the Delegate taken
such q stand, no Hawaiian would have
been appointed as the Governor was
bent upon having only white Republic
cans TO be as much as told to resign
is to offer him an insult while still in
harness without any good cause or rea-
son for so doing, only to satisfy the in
satiate greed of those hanliering for
office during these uncertain days.
We do earnestly hope that he will not
cave in so easy, show some backbone,
and see things out to the finish. And
we wonder whether he'll be such
man. T. hookanaka
