MUCH SUFFERING EXISTS AMONG
THE RESIDENTS OF BROOKE YIN

Fully 100 negroes and 100 white persons
who lived in the town Of Brooklyn, back
Of Venice, are in dire need of relief. Their
homes are beneath from ten to fifteen feet
OF water. They have no money, and MANY
Of them have eaten absolutely nothing IN
the last two days.
A few are remaining in the second stories
OF their houses. The majority, however. are
housed In long line of freight cars upon
the Merchants Terminal Belt Line track,
which circles behind Venice around to the
Merchants bridge. These tracks are only
Elk inches above the river, and the occu-
pants stepping from their box-car shelters
find themselves in water.
Though since Sunday relief boats have
been plying through Venice and Madison
Few have gone as far back az BROOKLYN
The latter place has been dependent entire

one Mayor and the latter treasurer OF the
town.
Both have worked with uninterrupted en-

skins were bought, with which to make
way around. The citizens at large have
been pre-empting lumber wherever thew
could lay hands on 1t and building boats.
Nails, however, were scarce, and the boat

lack of these necessary components of a

TO GRANITE CITY SUFFERERS.
Suffering among the few persons who re-

food is in the town. Supplies from the
boats sent by the St Louis relief forces
are exhausted before Granite City is
reached. and the local supply is nearly gone.
At Madison. where the food situation is
nearly as bad, the police have seized the
stocks Of groceries not carried away by tho
