National Council Has Row Over Booker
Washinston's Portrait.

LOUISVILLE. KyS, July 2.-The Afro
American council, today elected w. L.
American council today elected the fol-
lowing officers:
President. T. Thomas Fortune, New
York; vice presidents, J. @. Adams Min
nesota; Mrs. r.. J. Griffin, Oregon; secre-
tary, Cyrus Field Adams, Chicago; finan-
cial secretary, F. L. McGhee, Minnesota;
corresponding secretary. Mrs. Fannie B.
Williams. Illinois; treasurer, John w.
Thompson New York; members Of the
executive board, Mary w. Mccoy, Michi-
gan; w. L. Francis Minnesota.
The election was not accomplished
until a stormy debate had swayed the
audience for more than an hour There
was objection also to placing the pic
ture of Booker T. Washington on the
stage, but the delegates were pacified
by the bringing out of large painting
of j. C. Price, a Southern educator now
dead, and placing 1t alongside the
Washington canvas.
The differences arose over a faction
al fight between the Industrial, the
higher education and the political divi-
sions in the gathering, but the indus
trials won out.
A delegate advised the colored peo-
pie to ask President Roosevelt to ask
congress to cut down Southern repre-
sentation in congress. Some of the
delegates were evidently not in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Washington.

STORM PARALYZES
STREET CAR TRAFFIC

Shortly after the rain began to fall,
the entire street car system was
brought to standstill. In many sec
lions of the city great piles of SAND
and mud were washed onto the tracks.
Probably the most serious blockade
occurred on the interurban line, where
there were several dangerous land
slides. At Dewey avenue the track
was buried beneath two feet of sand.
The sand and mud formed dam for
the water and soon the track for sew
eral blocks was submerged. A side
walk, fifty feet long, foated onto the
track, and car No. 949 collided with it.
The electric train was running slowly
at the time of the collision and no harm
was done to the car. A number OF
passengers assisted the train crew to
clear the track of the obstacle and
after an hours delay, the car resumed
it's trip to st. Paul.
At Arundel and Rondo streets an
other landslide occurred, and more than
two feet Of sand was washed onto the
feet. A wrecking crew from the street
railway barns cleared the track.
The Merriam Park cars suspended
operations soon after the storm broke.
A heap Of sand on the tracks at Lex
ington and Selby avenues derailed an
east bound train and it was necessary
to suspend all traffic.
The West ST. Paul cars were also
tied up by washouts and landslides.
Traffic on some of the lines was re-
sumed last night, but on most of the
lines cars were run at irregular inter
walls. The street railway officials had
gangs of men at work all night and the
regular traffic schedule will be re-
Sumed this morning

STILLWlATEFa3 MINI, July 2. - A
storm of more than usual severity
struck Saltwater shortly after noon
today. There was a perfect deluge of
rain and water came down from the
hills in torrents, but the only damage
done consisted in the tearing up of
portion of the cedar block pavement on
Chestnut street, from Third street to
Second, and flooding of several cellars
on Main street. Almost perfect dark
ness prevailed during the storm and
many people sought their cellars for
refuge, but very little wind was no
ticed and the storm passed over with
out damage to any except the munich
pality, which must eXpend a consider
able sum in the, repair of streets. The
street car tracks were blockaded by
floating paving blocks, but traffic was
resumed in the afternoon. Reports
from the farming district are that the
storm was very severe and that much
rye was lodged. Corn was also badly
broken in some localities

SIR THOMAS Upton
DOES GALLANT WORK
ByHis OrderWomen and Others
on Dismasted Yacht Are
Saved.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Five persons
were rescued from a dismasted yacht
by Sir Thomas Lipton's crews today
after a squat had wrecked their craft,
and in the nick of time. Three of the
party in the wreck were women. The
yacht was the cabin catboat Yankee,
of New Brunswick, owned by Jacob
Ziegler. On board with him were Ed
ward Ewing, of New York, and Mrs. E..
Smith and her two daughters, Edna
and Emma, also of New York.
The catboat, which was cruising
about Sandy Hook bay, near the
anchorage of the Upton fleet, was car
rying a full mainsail, but no attempt
was made to lower or reef when the
storm clouds gathered. Suddenly the
squan swept down upon it and the
fury Of the wind fairly snapped the
mast out of the boat clean to the deck.
Aboard the Erin Sir Thomas Upton
saw the mishap and Immediately or
dered the Erin's two launches cleared
from the davits and lowered away.
LsBoth launches were manned as they
fell and were quickly headed for the
wreck.
.sss.It was difficult to get alongside the
Yankee because of the heavy sea and
the swaying, pounding mass of wreck
age. Finally a line heaved from the
Erin big launch was made fast to the
wrecked yacht and her head was
brought around so that the gear could
be cleared away. The smaller launch
also got a line aboard and both towed
the dismasted craft, which, by this
time, was half full of water from the
seas, which had broken over her, into
the lee of the Erin.
sThe party were taken off to Sir
Thomas flagship. They were thor
oughly drenched and We're weak and
faint with excitement. Sir Thomas
made his impromptu guests welcome.
The Yankee was rugged within a
half hour by the Erin's captain and
crew and. was enabled to proceed I'M
der sail to Camp Lawrence, where the
party is STAYING.

it is said that when a complete list

will be greatly exceeded.
Heavy Storm Earlier.
Two heavy storms visited st. Paul
Yesterday but it was the cloudburst OF
last evening that wrought the damage.
The rain and wind at noon did no
harm, although that gale was much
greater than that attained by the storm
last night.
Shortly before o'clock the storm
broke 1t was preceded by a high
wind, which blew for about fifteen
minutes Then came the rain from the
northwest. 1t did not fall in drops, but
came down in sheets, sweeping through
the streets like a stream from a fire
hose.
During the hour in which the storm
ragged the wind veered about several
times. First it came from the north
west, carrying with it the torrents OF
rain. Soon, however, it became a
southwesterly gale, and then 1T blew
and rain finally abated, the storm
again changed to a northwesterly gale.
In a few minutes the downtown
streets were deserted, pedestrians seek
ing places of shelter, for umbrellas and
rain coats were of no protection, So
terrific was the wind and rain that it
brought street cars to a dead stop.
1t had rained but a few minutes
when the street sewers became block

seething rivulets. Seventh street be-
low Wabasha was like a miniature
lake. The water rose above the curb
ing and soon found its way into the
Easements of stores facing on that
thoroughfare.
On Robert street the condition was
no better. 1t was impossible to dis
tinguish the sidewalk from the street
proper All the business houses along
that street were damaged by the floods.
Down In the wholesale and jobbing
district the damage was equally as Sc
