CRUSHED ICE IN BASIN
POLICE BOAT gvIanANT COM
PLETED WoREt YESTERDAY.
Gloves, Bits Of R1bbons and Other
Articles Fouaa at Scene Of
skatingK Disaster.

The Ice in the tidal basin from the Long
bridge to the former site of the bathing
beach has been broken up by the harbor
police boat Vigilant,i and even should there
come another freeze before the broken ice
melts there can be no skating on the basin
in consequence of rough ice
Fhe V1gilant was launched from the rail-
way at Benefits boat yard about II O'Clock
Saturday morning, and after taking on coal
at the harbor office left the wharf about
1880 o'clock for the basin. But little ice
was found until above the Long bridge, and
in order to get into the basin the tug had
to break her way through ice fully four
inches thick and in some places badly
gorged
Scene of Skating Disaster.
Entering the basin. Captain Dean steered
her directly to the scene of the skating acct
dent. Starting from that point as a base,
the tug worked up and down the basin,
breaking the Ice In wide track and as
close inshore as it was safe to take her.
The ice broken was in some places five
inches thick
Three hours We're spent in the basin, but
as the tide had become low Commodore
sutton deemed 1t unsafe to remain in the
basin any longer for fear of getting
aground. as the wheel of the Vigilant was
then turning up mud. Opera tons were
stopped for the day and the boat returned
to her wharf.
Completed the Work.
AT nigh water yesterday she returned to
the basin and completed the work of break
ing up the ice. When she returned to her
wharf there We're few ice cakes of any size
left In the basin, except close to the Long
bridge where it was dangerous for the tug
TO go, owing to the shallow water.
Reminders of the struggle that had taken
place ON the ice We're in evidence Saturday
In the form of gloves, bits of ribbon and
other articles scattered about it's surface
near where the monument exhaust comes
out.
Caught Monster Bass.
While cruising about the basin the plow
OF the Vigilant struck large bass and
stunned 1t so that the officers on the boat
captured it. When weighed at the harbor
office the fish balanced the scales at seven
pounds. and when placed in a tub of water
revived and swan about as if nothing had
happened to it.

WHAT | FLOOD MEANT
Glimpse From the Inside at Kansas
City BY Rev. Dr.. Matt
s. Hughes.
Actual Loss to People Of His Own
Church Between 100000
and 81 100000.

What the flood actually meant to the
people of Kansas City cannot be clearly
appreciated by those who were not on
the ground, or the water.$ at the time,
A somewhat better idea of the situation
than that. conveyed by first reports can,
perhaps. be gathered from the following
letter. under date of June 8, from Rev.
Or. Matt 8: Hughes, formerly pastor Of
the Wesley Methodist church Of the city,
but now Of Kansas City. The letter speaks
for itself:
You will be interested to know that. we are
seeing daylight in the flood situation. AS yet
we are without water in the eastern section OF
the city. We have partial street car service,
but we have now all the gas needed by con-
sumers.
The loss has been .mucl. heavier than the out
side world has been given to understand. The
counts and cessation of business will run be-
tween $500, 900 and $1,000, 900. Our people art
meeting their losses bravely and facing the fu.
ture with courageous hearts,
On Sunday evening, May 81 when the waters
came up 80 rapidly in the east bottoms and the
people were Obliged to fee for their lives, the
bcnediction was pronounced on our evening con.
gregation, and the church was turned into shell
ter for the refugees. The police and those who
were aiding In the work Of rescue brought the
people to our doors by the wagonload. They
were wet, hungry and many of them were nearly
| naked. During the week.; on some nights, as
many 240 slept In our church. Our women
served as many as 700 at one meal, and we gave
clothing to over 1,50o in five days. This will
give you some idea OF the situation when yor
| remember that Convention hall was crowded ani
| that many Of the other churches of the city
were engaged in work similar to ours.
The refugees of the east end Of the town are
now gathered in camp under military dfrec
tion, north of our church, at the end OF Wabasf
avenue. They will be taken care of until they
are able to return to their homes and their work
To-day the city is bending every effort in getting
| rid of flood results and giving splendid exhibit
ton of the Kansas City spirit
1 thought that you would be interested in THU
general sta tement because of your former knowl
| edge Of our city.

SPOTS THE Spoilers
A Lightning Sketch Artist Hits Them
OF While Making Up Quo

Living pictures, or rather speaking like
nesses Of unwelcome guests known as
"spotters,' are being exhibited daily be-
fore delighted audiences at E. J. Kneen $
Guaranty building branch of the indepen
dent board Of trade. The primary object
of the sketches is to contrive the discom
future of the artful spoilers, and in that
respect there can be no doubt but that
they have proved bowling success, judg-
ing from the roars Of approval with which
the gallery of traders greet them. -
The spoilers who are sent out to tget
a line on the manner in which the indie
pendent company gets it's quotations, have
frequently appeared at the office of Kneen
& Co. The moment such a man Is dis
covered in the group before the quota
ton board, George Gibbenhain, who
marks up the quotations from leading
markets, goes to work. AS he continues
to mark the ruling price of grain or rail-
road stocks under the different heads, he
combines pleasure with business by rap
| idly sketching the outline Of a human
! face. Between stock quotations he adds
| a nose, an ear, eyes and other features
until he has produced a wonderfully ex-
act likeness Of the spotter, whose identity
