POPE HAD NO NEED
FOR HIS PHYSICIAN.

Rome. June 11.-This being the feast
OF Corpus Christi, the Pope insisted on
celebrating mass. Only the members Of
his family and friends were admitted.
This was an innovation, as the Pontin
seldom celebrates mass before any
people.
After the ceremony, although he was
fatlgued, the Pontin repeated several
times that he was feeling perfectly well
and turned laughingly 20 Dr. Lapponi,
saying:

CITY NOW AT EASE
EAST ST. LOUIS BELIEVES FLOOD
CRISIS HAS PASSED.
MISSISSIPPI IS STATIONARY
AND THE STRENGTH OF EMBANK-
MENTS PROVEN.

Accounts of Loss of Life Due to the
Flood Greatly Exaggerated-Un-
dertaIker Says Not One Was
DrOwned-NO Estimate of the Prop
erty Damage Can BE Secured.
Boat Crews Busy Saving Belong
ings of the People Forced from
Their HOmes-COnditiOns Inn
proved.
East st. Louis, ILL.,, June 1.-THE
crisis of the flood situation in this city
has passed. Boat crews, which were
occupied yesterday in rescuing victims
of the flood, devoted themselves to-
day to saving property and bringing
who previously had not been in imme-
date danger.
Since the disastrous break in the
central levee, the food has made no
dangerous breaks, although portion
of the Baltimore and Ohio embank-
ment gave way last night and the flood
area was further increased by seepage
to-day.
Water continues to seep through the
Broadway embankment in various
places tonight, flooding the lowland
between that street and Missouri ave-
nue., the next street north, with from
two to six feet of water. Some water
has also been finding it's way into the
territory between Missouri avenue and
ST Louis avenue. People in this dis
trict, however, have not been COM
PEELED to leave their homes, although
they have to use boats to obtain sup
plies.
With the river stationary as 1T is to-
night, at 37.9 feet, the probability OF a
recession of the river level and the
proved strength of the Broadway en-
bankment, an extension of the calamity
is not expected.
No one could be found to-day who
could give anything like a definite idea
of the property loss Vague mention
of millions of dollars was the near
est even the best informed citizens
could give. There is a general disposi-
ton to accept minimum reports of loss
of life, rather than the first exagger-
ated stories. One prominent undertake
er said that there had been no loss OF
life directly in the food, although therf
had been deaths later due indirectly t.
the overflow. No bodies were recovered
to-day.
The work to-day has been and will
continue to be that of caring for the
refugees. The supply of food seems
ample, but the refugees tonight lack
bedding. 1t is believed that this will be
supplied by tomorrow night.
During most of the day the city was
under quasimilitary rule, though
Mayor Cook and his chief of police
were the guiding heads. 1t was found
to-day that the conditions necessitat-
ing the issuing of permits to visit the
central portions of the city and for
other purposes were working a hard
ship on many citizens, and the dis
cipline was relaxed to allow free COM
munication between here and the Mis-
souri, side.
There has been much confusion, =
said Mayor Cook, this evening, but
believe we have brought out order and
the redemption of the city will pro-
coed with the system that will result
in the least loss"
