the committee on credentials, seating

was no contest for any nominations of
general interest or Importance. The
general good will Of the peaeemakers

tinued Foraker, and he eulogized the
president amid continued cheering. He
congratulated the republicans in being
united with their leaders this year
and next year, and, most of all, on
their principles. The reports on rules
and order of business were then made
and the platform adopted as read.
The name of Myron T. Herrick for

came out in the examination this
morning, were very similar to those
gathered by the reporter yesterday.
Judge w. E. Heacock appeared at the
inquest as attorney for the dead mans

on a stretcher in his working clothes
bleeding profusely from a lasceration
extending two-thirds of the way of the
left thigh. and with one foot badly
crushed. The blood was stanched.
DR.. Cutter the local Santa Fe Pa
cific surgeon, was called. He stated
that he was at the st. Joseph hospi-
tai when he received telephone mes
sage that man was at the hospital
dispensary seriously injured. He or
dered the patient brought to the hos
pital, where he and DR.. James II.
Wroth, consulting physician for the

decided that the foot should be ampu-

Kansas City, June 4.-Both the Mis-
souri, and Kaw rivers are receding at a
much faster rate today. A fall in the
Missouri of nearly three feet from the
high point of thirty-five feet, recorded
forty-eight hours ago, was shown by
the government guage at Z a. m. The
guage at that hour registered 1928,
which was foot and half below tho
stage recorded at the same time yes
terday. BY nightfall 1t is predicted
the stage in the Missouri river will be
close to thirty-one feet. There was a
corresponding fall in the Kaw. Not
withstandng the rapid decline the
water about the union depot, which is
the highest point in the flooded dis
trict, is still four feet above the first
floor While the conditions are vast
ly more hopeful a tremendous under
taking confronts the two cities. AS the
waters recede they are disclosing
wrecked slime covered area of five
miles square. It is conceded by sever
al engineers who have investigated the
situation closely that the whole of the
terminal system of the railroads in the
bottoms will have to be rebuilt togeth-
er with bridges that alone it is estimat-
ed cannot be replaced at under from
SIS 900 900 to s1O,000,000. In the work
of rehabilitation the greatest precaution
will be taken to prevent an epidemic
| Of sickness, because OF the utter lack
OF sanitary measures. Sewers are
washed out and must be entirely re-
placed, and even the pumping station,
although it may be used temporarily,
must ultimately be removed to higher
ground and a complete new plant con-
structed.
At convention hall, where several
hundred refugees have been housed
since last Sunday. the sanitary con-
ditions have become such that prepar-
ations are making for the Immediate
removal of the homeless. What to do
with them is serious problem.
Water was turned on in the business
district on the Missouri side today for
| the first time since Monday, but the
flow was inadequate.
The railway system was improved
greatly today.

ST. LOUIS IN Danger from a Heavy
Flood.
st. Louis, June 4.-During the past
twentyfour hours rise OF nine-tenths
of a foot has been recorded in the
river and at 8 a. m. the stage register
ed 321 feet The extreme heighth of
the food here will, 1t is believed, be
reached Sunday morning in stage of
thirty-five feet, which is five feet above
danger line. Uuless heavy rains set in
this will be the highest point, but
should there be more rain, river men
believe all records since 1892 will be
broken and thirty-six feet be reached
and possibly exceeded.
The railroad tracks along the levee
have been submerged. Trains on the
Wabash, which run to suburban points
have been interfered with and the sta
ton at the foot of Olive street has
been abandoned. The Burlington

TRINIDAD RACES.

a General Mix Up.
BONNIE TREASURER WINS.

The Trinidad races, given under the
auspices of the Elks of that city, open
ed Tuesday. Exodus, owned by Emil
Mann, was the only Albuquerque horse
entered, but was in an accident, hence
did not win.
A special dispatch from Trinidad to
the Denver Republican says:
An accident, which came near prov
ing disastrous in it's results, marred
the opening day of the Elks' races this
afternoon. In the fina. heat of the 2:15
pace, with twelve horses in the field,
l.. D., in an attempt to gain the lead,
stumbled, throwing his driver com
pletely over his head under the feet of
the horses following. Confusion fol
lowed in the close field behind in an
endeavor to dodge the wreck. Horses
plunged, sulkies were upset and brok-
en- and drivers were thrown or jumped.
All were in heap and it is little short
of miraculous that all escaped without
serious injury either to drivers or
horses. James Curl driving Rose w,
was thrown violently to the ground
and received bruises and a severe
shaking up, but was otherwise uninjur-
ed.
One of the prettiest events of the af-
ternoon also occurred in this heat
when Rose W., driverless, reins drag
ging and sulky smashed, paced right
along as though nothing had happened
and nnhar tho uyira pnin0 har
best without having once broken.
The weather was ideal and a large
and enthusiastic crowd packed the
grand stand and bleachers. The track
was in excellent condition and aside
from the one accident everything went
off smoothly.
Yesterday Afternoon.
This morning, w. l.. Trimble receiv-
ed a message from Trinidad, giving
him the information that his PAGER,
Bonnie Treasure, had won the third,
fourth and sixth heats, thus winning
the race, in the pacing event yesterday
afternoon. Time, 2:221a, 1928, 2:34.
No other Albuquerque horse was en-.
tered yesterday afternoon.
In the races this afternoon, Young
Hal, owned by Joe Barnett, is entered
in the 2:19 pace, with nine entries. 1t
is predicted that Young Hal viii win.
Tomorrow, in the free-for-all pace,
Shecam, owned by F. E. Sturges, and
Primrose, owned by Joseph Barnett
are entered, and one of them ought to
come out Of the race victorious. Boone
another Albuquerque horse and owned
by Emil Mann, is entered in the 2:4O
trot.
Joe Barnett and Emil Mann have
been at Trinidad the past couple OF
days, and today were Joined by Frank
f. Sturges and son. Lloyd, who left
last night for Trinidad. These gentle
men, before returning to the city, will
accompany the Albuquerque string OF
norses to the other towns of the Colo
RADIO circuit.

Warsaw, the lowlands, through which
the Carthage branch of the Burlington
runs, has been flooded and the train
service cut off, consequently there are
no through trains from Burlington to

is eight miles wide. All the inhabited
islands of the Mississippi north and
south Of here have been deserted and
stock taken off by steamboats,. Both
river picket offices here are under
water.
