Storm IN OKLAHOMA.
Many Persons Feared Torna ado and
Spent Night In Caves.

Dallas, Tex, May PA special to the
News from Oklahoma City, o. T., says
Oklahoma City and vicinity was visited
Saturday night and Sunday morning by
the heaviest rainfall and most severe
electrical storm known in the history Of
the city. Many persons thought that tho
city would experience tornado and spent
the night in the caves. All day today
and tonight more than half the city has
been under water and In some instances
water is three feet deep In houses. It
requires boat to transport the women
and children through the streets to high
er and dryer land. The Easements under
many of the big wholesale houses are
flooded. the water in some cases being
ten feet deep.
1t is estimated the total loss from
the food will reach 100000. Traffic on the
electric railroad is suspended on account
of the power house being under water.
All trains into the city. with the excep-
tion of the Santa Fe, are water bound
and many washouts are reported west
on the Choctaw. The Canadian river at
this point is over a quarter of mile
wide with a four-foot rise in sight. It
is reported that several people in the bot
toms could not escape the flood and
drowned This report, however, cannot
be verified.

CREED AS REVISED

eELEs AND DISCUSS CHANGES.

Los Angeles, Cal, May administers In
attendance at the Presbyterian assembly
today occupied pulpits in every Protestant
church in Los Angeles and many OF the
commissioners occupied pulpits In subur-
ban towns Emmanuel church held large
audience this morning to hear Dr. Coyle,
the newly elected moderator In the at
ternoon a meeting in the interest OF the
womans executive committee on home
missions met at the same church and this
evening a popular meeting at which Sab
bath observance furnished the theme OF
several addresses was held Perhaps the
largest attended meeting was at the First
Presbyterian church, Pasadena. In the
morning the Rev. DR.. Henry Vandyke OF
Princeton University presided and delty-
cred an address that was in accord with
present day theories Of the church. He
was followed by the venerable missionary,
Mclaughlin, from Chicago who was lis
tened to by as many as could find room
in the edlfice. Business sessions of the
assembly will be resumed tomorrow even
ing.
The creed as revised is now practically
a law of the church.
The question will be brought up Thurs
day morning on account Of some techni-
calities which have arisen, and II the
committee see fit they may present the
overture at that time. This would give
the anti-revsionists another chance for
a closing debate
Perhaps the strongest overtures In the
hands of the creed committee relate to
Temperance. They strike at the saloon,
social drinking and ministers and chuch-
men who belong to clubs where liquor Is
sold The temperance committee has in
yited the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon OF To-
peka, Kan, to make the address on Fri
day night This committee Will have full
sway on Friday morning and they VIII
spring some surprises on the assembly.
1t is reported that their resolutions are
the strongest that have been submitted
for years.

FORMER SENATOR JONES SAYS
THERE ARE SLVERAL LEADING
DEMOCRATS WHILE NOT sATIs-

BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington. May 2L-(special )-For-
mer Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic committee. says there were
several leading democrats who, while
they may not be satisfactory to either
of the democratic wings, would be ''ac-
ceptable' to both as Presidential candi-
dates. In this connection he gives inti-
nations of the chances of nominating
Senator German of Maryland, Judge
Parker and Edward NJ. Sheppard of
New York.
"It seems to me-" said Chairman Jones
tonight, that IL the democrats hope to
win next year they cannot do so unless
they nominate man who shall not be
Objectionable to any wing of the party.
To insist upon the nomination Of an ex-
tremist from any standpoint would rem
der the complete union of the party at
the next election practically impossible.
hence l do not think II possible to nomi-
nate, with a reasonable hope OF securing
united action and strength, any man who
did not support the ticket In 1896 and
1900
..I do not think the friends of any cam
didate mentioned would do him kind
ness by pressing him to the front at this
time. 1t appears to me that the personal
features of the campaign ought to be
discussed year hence rather than now.
'I hope and believe" concluded Mr..
Jones. that platform can be framed
which can be made acceptable to every
genuine and earnest democrat. and upon
such a platform we have reasonable
chance Of success"

PRESIDENT HAS
A QUIET SUNDAY
DURING THE MORNING RoosE-
WELT ATTENDS MEMORIAL SER
VICES OF G. A. r. AT THE GRAND
OPERA HOUSE IN SEATTLE.

Seattle, Wash, May 2.-Sunday was
spent quietly by President Roosevelt. In
view of the fact that the President always
observes the Sabbath as he sees At. the
citizens of Seattle gave him full range to
follow his own inclinations, and Secretary
Loeb said the President appreciated this
difference more than any public attention
During the morning President Roose-
welt attended the memorial services of the
G. A. r. at the Grand opera house. The
Rev. j. M. Wilson preached the sermon,
which struck a popular chord In which
the President was highly interested
There was large gathering at the SER
vice and all paid their respects to the
President. He took no part In the demon
stration. In the afternoon President
Roosevelt and members of his party took
a horseback ride to Fort Lawton, where
they spent a short time looking over the
the visit and he greeted the soldiers. min
gled with them Informally for few min
utes. The headquarters of President
Roosevelt in Seattle has been at the Hotel
Washington
All of the arrangements were of a
most exclusive character and not a sin
gle detail was overlooked. The National
guard has been on duty at the hotel dur
Ing all of the watches of the day and
night. Large crowds have been in front
of the hotel all day long waiting patient
ly to catch glimpse of the President,
but he remained indoors as much as pos
sible.
1t Is noticeable feature that the Sc
cret service officers accompanying the
President have been keeping guard con-
stantly. 1t is understood that these off,
GERS do not relish the idea of the Presi-
dents coming visit to Butte. Mont, be-
cause of the alleged existence there Of a
number of anarchists. As soon as the
great mining camp Is approached, extra
precautions will be taken. The President
SCOTS at all these fears.
The party will leave Seattle over the

FARMERS WANT INCREASE.
Society Of Equity Issues Bulletin Urg
ing Advance in Wheat.

indianapolis, Ind. May 24.-The Ameri-
can Society of Equity will tomorrow
issue a bulletin to the farmers of the
United States demanding an increase in
the price of wheat, giving arguments that
the minimum price of wheat should be
81 and urging the farmers OF the United
States not to sell for less than 81. Ths
society has been organized with this city
as national headquarters for the pur-
pose Of maintaining prices Of farm pro-
ducts by cooperation of the farmers Of
the country, and this is the first formal
demand for increase in prices as the re.
suit of the combination.
The bulletin sets out the claim that
this is an era of unequalled prosperity.
demand for commodities is unprecedent-
ed; labor receiving higher wages than
ever before, and the demand and con-
sumption of wheat is greater than ever
before with a low visible supply. The
bulletin then says:
at Is evident that the American farm
ers cannot produce over about twelve
bushels per acre. an average which 81
cents per bushel represents $40 56 per acre
10 cover all the work, seed, twine thresh-
ing marketing etc. an amount that
scarcely equals the Simplest machine that
the farmer buys, yet which only repre-
sents a small fraction OF the investment,
capital and labor employed.
''Who dare say, in the face of this evil
dence, and considering the present higher
range of values for nearly every other
commodity produced in the country, that
wheat at this time and for the next crop
Is not equitably worth 81 per bushel on
the basis Of the Chicago market, and that
other farm crops should be on a corre-
spending basis?
Farmers, keep this matter in mind;
keep 81 wheat 81 at Chicago before you
and you will get 1t as sure as the sun
rises in the east and sets in the west.
I'VE implore you. don't be fools. When
you get the equitable price let 1t go. Sell
on the basis OF 81 and no less. but don't
hold for more or you may run up an
unwieldy surplus which must eventually
COMPEL lower prices"

Says Many Union Men Do
Not Understand Principles
MONOPOLY OF The MARKET
In the Great Growth of unionism the
Men Seem to Lost Sight
of the Fundamental Princi-
Piles of Foundation.

Chicago, May 24-Clarence S. Darrow,
who was chief counsel for the miners in
the recent arbitration growing out Of the
strike In the anthracite coal fields, deliv-
cred an address before the Henry George
association today on The Perils of Trade
Unionism." The general tone OF MS talk
was that labor unions did not understand
the principles upon which they were
founded and along which they must work
II they are to continue in existence lie
said In part:
Trade unionism is really, in it's last
analysis, the effort to monopolize the Ia
Dor market. In the same line as the trust
is the effort to monopolize production. The
great growth of trade unionism in the last
few years has taken into its body large
numbers of men who were not familiar
with its principles or its value, whose one
desire has been to better their condition,
who have not the understanding of af.
fairs to recognize the relation that trade
unionism bears to general progress, and
who. therefore. have narrow views as to
its management, control and use.
I'm the great growth Of trade unlonism
the men seem to have lost sight Of the
fundamental principles which in the end
must control Men catch trade unIonism

houses and everything before it. 1t came
upon Enid without warning, while the
most of It's citizens were asleep. Within a
few minutes a hundred houses were partly
or completely submerged. Rescuers went
to work Immediately and all last night
labored industriously saving persons from
perilous positions and aiding those driven
from their homes. Today 1t was found
that several hundred were homeless.
Many pitiable scenes were witnessed as
the people stood around waiting for the
water to subside. Many had lost every
thing they possessed The citizens are
busy engaged in relieving the distressed,
but the means at hand are inadequate.
The rainfall the past ten days has been
the heaviest in the history of Oklahoma
and indications are that more will follow.
Reports of losses in the country west of

heavy damage was done.
