BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
Fairy Extravaganza Will Be Presented
BY Wichita Children.

Mr.. Harry Miller, so well and favorably
known here as the director of the sue
cessful chldren's extravaganza "Cinder-
ella" given last year at the Crawford
theater, has been secured for a return
date to give his latest production,
Beauty ard the Beast for the benefit
of the Chhdren's home and st. John 5
Sunday school.
This bare announcement ought TO be
enough TO crowd the house at every per-
Torrance. but when it is stated that
Beauty and the Beast surpasses Gin
6erella' in many ways, undoubtedly
standing room will be at a premium. All
the children who so ably assited in Gin
Gerella" are cordially invited 10 help this
time and are requested to be at the
Crawford Grand at 2:3O Monday after
noon.
Mr.. Miller is ably assisted this time
by his wife and his associate, Mr.. Clint
Draper. and expects TO set new STAN
dard for home talent entertainment in
Wichita in the future.
The dates have been set for the II. Il
and 18th OF June.

ter. There was no immediate danger Of
the dam going out. and it also kept the
water from breaking over the levees and
flooding the west end of the city.
The water was higher yesterday at !
o'clock than it has been known here for
years. 1t was level with the levees and
the surface of the water was three feet
higher than the surrounding country
One can imagine what a flood would
have been sent down through the streets
and yards in the west part of the city
had the levee given way at any point.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
water began going down but up TO s
O'Clock it had fallen but an inch and from
that time until I o'clock this morning the
river was at a standstill. 1t was re-
ported that heavy rains had fallen 10 the
north am a rise could be expected to-
day. Communication is almost entirely
shut off to the north along the Little
river and this report could not be con-
firmed. 1t is not expected that the river
would subside very mucn until tomor-
row. as the volume of water above will
keep it up for good many hours.
Last night travelling men from the west
stated that Wichita had food from the
Big river TO expect within a few hours.
Reports from above show the river ris-
ing rapidly from the swollen streams and
the June rise is also reported on the
read. Much depends on the time it viii
require for this water to reach Wichita
and also the duration of the rains. With
the Big river now five feet above its
normal height but a very slight raise
will be brequired TO cause il 10 force the
water in the Little river back into its
channel. If this should occur the water
from the Little river would be forced
down through town and the amount of
damage this would do cannot be esti-
mated
Train service has been cut off along
the Arkansas river telegraph and tele-
phone service is very poor and many
times cannot be had at all and there is
no way to tell just how much water may
be expected here but It would be well
for Wichita people to prepare for
small freshet. Several of the merchants
moved their goods off the floors yester-
day and more will do so today At the
present time there is little danger of the
food becoming as serious as this would
indicate. bbut reports are so meagre that
forecasts cannot be made.

Gable company, congratulating him upon

The opening of this cable line marks a
great step in the work of connecting the
United States with it's island possessions.
The next step is to be the completion of
the cable between Honolulu and the Phil

satisfactory results from a business

island is listed as Midway island, and
except for millions of birds is unin-

been japanese and Chinese brigands, who
used it for game hunting and for a meet

Up to date the officials of the cable
company have been unable to learn what
government, if any, has control of and
jurisdiction over the island. If it is de-

CASTRO IN DANGER.
CIPHER DISPATCH SAYS HE MAY
BE OVERTHROW.
Success of the Rebels in Venezuela
Would Likely Involve Powers in New
Comp1ications-B Blockade Will Not Be
Stunned by Arbitration Negotiations.

A telegram in cipher received by Sec
retary Hay from Herbert w. Bowen, the
United States minister at Caracas, con-
tained the disturbing information that a
new crisis had arisen in Venezuela which
NAV threaten the heretofore conceded
success of the agreement of all parties
concerned to refer the claims of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy to The
Hague court of arbitration.
Minister Bowen reports that through
the development of unexpected strength
on the part of the Venezuelan revolution
lists the situation of President Castro's
government has become extremely criti-
CAL The national treasury is empty,
which means that Castro is without pecu-
mary resources to continue the stand he
has made so successfully against the
forces of his internal enemies, who are
apparently we'll supplied with arms and
the wherewithal to carry on their strug-
gle.
The inference is that Castro may be
compelled to abandon the reins of govern
ment. A change in the control of the re-
public might bring about resumption of
the dangerous conditions which prevailed
when the coerciye measures of the allies
were begun.
A new national administration at Cara
cas- may mean the undoing of all til at has
been accomplished toward peace between
Venezuela and the powers. Should Cas-
tro be overthrown his triumphant sue
cessors may repudiate all that has been
done by him to bring about a settlement
Of the international question. Naturally
the administration in Washington is con-
cerned over the news sent by Minister
Bowen.
Great Britain and Germany came to
an understanding to enforce the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast precisely as it
the negotiations for arbitration had not
been begun. 1t was doubtless in conse-
quence of this understanding that the
vessels at Porto Cabello were taken
