MAR1NE CORPS coMMANDANT
Speculation Regarding the Successor

1t is probable that the President will be
asked to extend the same recognition TO
officers of the Marine Corps who rendered
GOOD service to their country during the
war of the rebellion that is now extended
by law and practice to the officers OF the
regular army and navy who took part IN
that great struggle. The opportunity VIII
come with the statutory retirement OF
Major General Charles Eeywood, com
manding the Marine Corps, in October next.
The suggestion is that the vacancy thus
CT created be utilized for the promotion and
immediate retirement of several colonies OF

AID FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Commercial Club CT Topeka Votes tt
Issue sn Appeal

TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.-The CONNER
cial Club at noon today voted to ask for
outside aid for the sufferers.
Yesterday the club voted that no aid
from outside would be accepted, but the
distress of the people today is great that
the community cannot provide. for all. and
so the charity of the country is appealed
to.
This action taken after an address
by Governor Bailey. who has just returned
to TIE city from Mound City. where he has
been water bound since last Thursday
The governor pointed out to the club the
necessities of the suffering people and the
inability of the community to provide prop
eIly for them and relieve their wants. and
said that, while he wanted to work In har-
mony with the townspeople and it's char
liable organizations, he saw his duty clearly
and he would this afternoon issue a procla-
nation calling upon the charitable people
of the country to send aid in the form of
money.
River Fell During Night.
The flood situation here today is mate
rally better. The Kansas river fell dur
ing the night at the rate of an inch an
hour.
All those marooned in trees and flooded
houses have now been removed to places of
safety. AT the Sardou bridge alone more
than 2G0 were landed last night.
The previous estimate of twenty dead is
still adhered to. Many reported missing
are showing up, but it will only be possible
to give the actual loss of life when the
water has actually receded.
1t is believed that several persons were
drowned and that their bodies have fioated
away.
The work of relief went on through the
night and has been systematized.
Disease Epidemic Feared
Hba IN,
epidemic Of diseases. AT relief depots,
where refugees are huddled together, sew
eral persons suffering with contagious dis
eases were removed to the hospitals. as
rapidly possible.
The absence of good drinking water Is
another disease breeder.
Money is the thing most needed now and
citizens are contributing nobly
1t is estimated by many that the work of
relief and rehabilitation will require
500, ,O00. Topeka is powerless to raise that
amount of money without crippling itself
seriously.
