BY the Flood, Which Passes Danger
Point and Still Increases.

ST. Louis, June 2.-Thirty feet, the
danger point, was reached and passed,
today, by the flood that is coming down

The crest of the flood from the Kan

struction to property must ensue.
The first loss of life attending the
present food in this vicinity was re-
ported, today, in the drowning of Mrs.
William schmidt and her two children,
in an attempt to escape on flat boat
from an island in the Missouri river.
There has been little damage done to
property here yet

damage to the extent of hundreds of

to st. Louis. City Engineer Helm has
no fear that the city proper will be
harmed by the water.

money in a NeWburyport bank. $500 in Il
certain bank in Manchester, n. H.. and
$1,000 in another in the same city and to
bonds. He allowed Mr.. Mathes to invest
the money as he had advied him.

and the bonds found TO be missing an eX-
amina ton of the pass books was made and
it was found that the one of the MancheS-
ter bank in which there was supposed to
be deposit of $500 showed but $1,000 de
post.
AS soon as Mr.. Kelleys story was made
known. the bank officials, although not !i-
in communication with MatheS at Milton,

that he had taken Kelleys bonds and ap-
propriated them to his own use.
He said that he took the bonds six years
ago and that since then whenever Kelley
had called for his interest he had paid it

ANOTHER STRIKE CLOUD
Overhangs Anthracite Coal Region and
May Cause Storm.

Wilkesbarre Pa, June Another dark
strike cloud doomed up on the horizon OF
the anthracite coal region, today. me eX-
ecutive board of the United Mine Workers
i'll session here endorsed the selection Of
their three district presidents on the board
of Cancellation authorized by the strike
commission, and if these members are not
recognized by the operators the executive
boards will contemplate calling d conven-
ton of mine workers to declare general
suspension of work until their members
are given recognition.
The district presidents as a result of to-
days meeting issued the following state
mcnt. tonight, on the dispute: AT joint
meeting of the executive boards OF the an
thracite region here. today, the members
selected to represent the mine workers
of each district on the Cancellation board
reported that the representatives of the
operators refused to recognize them or the
mine workers credentials or accept them
members of the Cancellation board. They
reported that the operators objected on
the ground that the mine workers repre-
scntatives were appointed by their organ
izations as it exists in each district.
The district boards are still of the opin-
ion that they appointed their representa-
tiVeS as provided for by the Cancellation
board and voted unanimously to reafiim
their former action. The district officers
have been exceedingly anxious to have the
Cancellation board for another meet for
tie purpose of adjusting many grievances
which have accumulated. and to this end
have been bending their energies.
Two questions We're tlder coIlSllerdl'oH
by the meeting, tOdaY-one is to make
application to the national president of the
mine workers to issue an order for a gen
eral Suspension Of work throughout the
whole anthracite region, to continue until
the inspectors agree to adjust existing
grievances and live up to the award of thG
anthracite strike commission; the second
is that delegate convention be called to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of taking the
above action
Another meeting will be held. tomorrow.
to decide as to whether a suspension Of
work shall be ordered
