A CALL FOR AID,
People Have Lost Millions and Need
Help from Outside.

Topeka KaS., June 1.-The water is now
three feet below high water mark and
clearing weather is in sight The ques-
ton of provisions, which seemed a serious
problem at first, is growing brighter as
the waters recede around the big whole
sale mercantile houses along the river
front Despite the efforts of the vigilance
committees, sheriffs and police, the loot
ing continues.
a train from ST Joseph brought launch
es, co boats, food and clothing and men
to aid in rescue work Some of the ref
ueces will be taken by these boats to Hol-
land and other points and will there be
cared for until they can return in safety
to Topeka.
Gov. Bailey and the commercial Club
are drafting a proclamation to be sent
out to the world concerning the acceptance
of relief
MY idea" said the governor, lis to first
call on the people of the state who have
not suffered to give out of their album
dance to the sufferers. There is treincn-
dous calamity and it is something that
cannot be COPIED with in a few days, but it
will take months. The territory devas-
'Ni'o
and six miles wide through our most fer
tile territory. Not only is the crop swept
away from the farms and much of the
live stock. but in many instances the
accumula tons of lifetime are gone. We
must combat disease and relieve distress
and it is a tremendous undertaking But
before we call for outside aid Kansas
should first give all she can for the suf-
ferers.
MY idea is to call on Kansas commit
tees to raise relief funds and send them
to someone who is designated for the re
lief and protection of all throughout the
state who have need of it. But we should
also thankfully receive the aid that is gra-
ciously offered us from outside our state
for probably the distress cannot be rclicv-
ed and disease COPIED with with what Kan
sas can give
Twenty men with repeating rifles, under
charge of Officer Capron, left for North
Topeka at . o'clock. They will be station
ell in the principal business houses and
have strict orders to shoot down the first
man caught attempting to steal property
