SHORT OF THE TRUTH.
Early Reports of K. C. Flood Losses
Were Too Conservative.

Kansas City. Mo. June 19.-In response
to many inquiries asking as to the COR
rectness of reports regarding flood losses
in Kansas City, Kan. the relief commit
tee has made the following statement:
AS the extent of the flood calamity
become more correctly known it is
found that the reports heretofore given
out by the relief committee of the city
have fallen below the actual conditions.
This is especially true as to losses ana
damages on dwelling houses which are
not far from IS per cent to 70 per cent
of total value in the flooded district
while the losses on household effects are
probably near 80 per cent. With these
rates of losses suffered by fully 3 000
people composed as they are largely of
laboring people, the necessity for aid in
large amounts is established beyond
dispute. All contributions should be
sent to T. B. Gilbert, mayor of Kansas
