River Rising at St. Louis and the
Worst Yet to Come.

st. Louis, June 3.-Thirty foot-the

during the day by the flood that is
coming down the Mississippi river.
The river continues to rise rapidly
and a point considerably higher than
thirty-four feet, which Wearther Fore

reached by Thursday or Friday, will
be an accomplished fact The crest
OF the flood from the Missouri river
is yet to come and when it shall reach
and find augmentation in the high
water of the Mississippi river, some
loss of life is feared and destruction
OF property must ensue.
The first loss of life attending the
present flood in this vicinity was
reached in the drowning Of Mrs. Will

an attempt to escape in a small boat
from Catfish island in the Missouri.

Great damage in this section is

Great Britain, Robert S. Mccormick

Mr. Mccormick, speaking of the
massacre at Kishinef, said: "The af

Regarding Russia's intentions in

magnificent affair:
The description of my court dress

DEAD At GAINESVILLE.
Victims Of the Tornado Will Number
About Hundred,

Gainesville, Ca, June 3.-The six
thousand inhabitants of this city have
just begun to realize the extent of
the appalling disaster of Monday. It
now seems certain that the death list
will not be much short of 100; per.
haps somewhat over that figure, con.
s1dering the number of dangerously
wounded whose chance for recovery
cannot now be foretold.
The story of the work of destruc-
ton has already been told. All that
remains is an accurate list of the dead.
Figuring from all available sources
and giving credence to those reports
Which are believed to be trustworthy,
this is a summary of the tornado in
Gainesville and it's environments:
One hundred killed.; $50 injured, of
whom 20 probably will die; 800 home
less, their residences having been
wiped out of existence; property loss
of about 100000, none of which was
covered by storm insurance.
concise and accurate statement
OF the casualties cannot be rendered
for several days, but the physicians in
attendance believe it will not 20 very
far above 100, although fifteen or
twenty are desperately injured and
may die within the next two or three
days.
The death list so far compiled in
cludes thirty-tWo at the Pacolet cotton
mills at New Holland, all of whom
were killed in the demolition of the
company's cottages; and thirty-six at
the Gainesville cotton mill, near the
Southern railway station, where the
tornado first struck.

MINERS EXECUTIVE BOARDS EN-.
DoRsE SELECTION OF CON.
ClLIATIoN BOARD.
THREE PRESIDENTS CHOSEN
REFUSAL OF OPERATORS TO REC.
OGNIZE THEM MAY RESULT IN
INDUSTRIAL WAR.

WllKesDarre, Pa, June 3.-AnOther
dark strike cloud doomed up on the
horizon of the anthracite coal region
during the day. The executive boards
OF the United Mine Workers in session
here endorsed the selection of their
three district presidents on the board
OF Cancellation authorized by the
strike commission, and if these mem
bers are not recognized by the opera
tors, the executive boards will con-
template calling convention of mine
workers to declare a general suspen-
sion of work until their members are
given recognition.
The district presidents, as a result
OF the meeting, issued the following
statement on the dispute:
AT joint meeting of the executive
boards OF the anthracite region here,
the members selected to represent the
mine workers Of each district on the
Cancellation board, reported that the
representatives. of the operators re-
fused to recognize them or the mine
workers. credentials, or accept them as
members of the Cancellation board
They reported that the operators OBJ
jected on the ground that the mine
workers representatives were ap-
pointed by their organization as it ex-
lists in each district.
Discuss Strike Question.
1.-TWO questions were under consid-
Grafton by the meeting. One is to
make application to the national pres
1dent OF the mine workers to issue an
order for a general suspension Of
work throughout the whole anthracite
region, to continue until the oprators
agree to adjust existing grievances
and live up to the award of the an
thracite coal strike commission, the
second is that a delegate convention
be called to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of taking the above action
Another melting will be held to de-
eide as to whether a suspension Of
work shall be ordered.
District Presidents Nichols and
Fahey intimated at night that the ex-
ecutive board Of the mine workers will
stand by their decision and will in
s1st that their members on the con-
Citation board be recognized.
National President Mitchell believes
that the miners representatives on
the board are legally chosen and as
the district officers have just returned
from conference with him at Buffa-
10. they are evidently acting on his
advice The indications are that if
no word from the oprators is forth
coming, the anthracite region will ex-
perience another struggle which will
attract the attention of the world. It
will be bitter fight to the end. Some
OF the members, however, feel that the
operators will recede and recognize
the credentials Of the miners presi-
dents,

A. e. AMES G. CO., ONE OF CANA
DA'S LEADING FIRMS, SUS-
PENDS PAYMENT.
AMOUNT TO TEN MILLIONS
LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY
ARE BELIEVED TO BE ABOUT
THAT LARGE.

Toronto, ONT June ga. E. Ames
& Co., one of the leading firms Of
bankers and brokers in Canada, closed
their doors during the day. Their
failure was due to heavy declines in
Canadian securities. It is stated that
when market conditions have become
settled and the securities held by the
company and their customers reach
figures approximating something like
their actual value, the assets of the
company will fully offset their liza
bilities
The securities the COMPANY and
their clients have been largely inter-
ested in are Dominion Steel common
purchased around $40, and which are
now selling around SIS; Sloss securi-
ties, which were purchased at much
higher than their present value. Twin
City, which has declined from 1928 to
1C2, is also heavily held The follow
Ing notice was posted by the firm:
Owing to the continued severe de-
cline in the securities market we have
found it
Necessary to Suspend Payment
and would ask the indulgence of our
friends for few days until we can
prepare a statement of our affairs and
decide what is best to be done"
On this announcement a panic en-
sued on the Stock Exchange. Hun
dreds OF persons surrounded of Offices
OF the company seeking for informa-
ton as to the extent of the firms lia-
bilities. The last statement of the
savings bank department showed
100000 on deposit. 1t is impossible
to figure the firms total liability at
the present time owing to the extern
slVe f1uctuation in the price of securi-
ties in which the company and Gus
toners are heavily interested.
The statement is made on good au-
thorlty that Mr.. Ames has put $1,000
900 into the business and the other
members of the firm, A. M. Pope, 3,
M. Frazer, and w. D. Walcott, sums
aggregatlng nearly the same amount
1t is known that one of the Toronto
banks recently advanced 5000 900 to
Ames IL Co.. in the hope that that
amount would be sufficient to tide
over the affairs Of the firm.
Liabilities of Ten Millions.
Ten million dollars is the amount of
the firms liabilities as generally
agreed upon by bankers and brokers.
Against this amount the company
holds securities which in any half
normal condition OF the market would
be ample.
B. r. Walker, general manager of
the Canadian Bank of Commerce, said
that although Mr. Ames kept his cash
account at that bank their relations
had not been at all close for many
months past. Mr. Ames' Indebtedness
to the bank was secured by stocks
which are not affected by the suspen-
sion. Nor would Ames & Co.'s sus
pension, Mr. Walker said, affect any
other financial institution in the civ
SO far as he knew. The board CT the
Bank of Commerce had not approved
OF some of Mr. Ames' ventures, and
their relations, therefore, had been far
from intimate. The suspension of
Ames & Co. will have no effect on anv
OF the many institutions of which Mr..
Ames is interested except, perhaps,
his withdrawal from the presidency Of
the Metropolitan bank.
