babies are happy they do
not cry they are rich !;
their fat is ! a id UP for

happy because they are

BALTIMORE FLOOD SUBSIDIES
Much Damage Done ny Overflow of
Stream which Passes
Through City.


BALTIMORE, July 6.-The flood last
night, which was caused by the overflow Of
Jones Falls, stream which runs through
the central part of Baltimore and which re-
suited from a cloudburst at Timonium, in
Baltimore county has completely subsided,
the water in the falls having fallen almost
as quickly as it rose.
In the city no lives were lost and the dam
age will be confined to the streets in the
vicinity of the falls. On these streets are
located a large number of machine shops
and small stores, the contents of which
have been damaged, but there was no very
heavy single loss and the total loss is
roughly estimated at $50 900.
In the country north of Baltimore the
storm was terrific and the fall of rain ex-
traordinary. the people being panic-stricken
for several hours and many fleeing for their
lives. The suburban towns OF Mount Wash
and other points were hemmed in until an
early hour this morning, but so far no re-
port OF the loss of life has been received
The intervening farm lands were inundate ted
fences everywhere were swept away and
small buildings along the falls from Mount
Washington to the Pennsylvania railroad
bridge. Scores Of small farmers were com.
PEELED to abandon their houses and flee for
their lives, in some instances their homes
furniture, cattle and wagons being carried
away in the flood. No accurate estimate
of the losses in the county can now be
made, but the aggregate will be large.

CONDITIONS ON THE lSTHMUS
Chairman ShOnts Discusses Life
Along the Canal and Plans of
the Commission.


WASHINGTON, d. c., July 6.-Life on
the Isthmus of Panama is to be made
healthful, comfortable and enjoyable be-
fore the real work of digging the canal
is begun, according to an announcement
Of policy made today by Chairman Shonts
Of the Panama canal commission. Mr..
Shonts said:
Our first duty is to create sound under
lying conditions, This is now vastly more
important than the moving of dirt. The
men must have suitable houses in healthy
surr0undns, they must have wholesome
and nourishing food at reasonable
cost; they. must have suitable trans
their work, and they nlgsat have opportun-
ity for recreation afforded them.
1t will be the policy of the commission
to provide these essentials as quickly as
possible and to only increase the working
force, aside from the mechanics necessary
to provide these necessities as fast as the
facilities indicated can be furnished. The
commission realizes that its adherence to
this policy will result in the actual handling
of less quantities of material temporarily,
but 1t is also known that with healthy un-
derlying conditions vastly more will be ac-
complished later on at less cost and with
less friction.
AS an evidence of the consideration the
creation of health conditions is now re-
ceiving, II may be well to state that l219
per cent OF the total number or employees
are assigned to that work under Governor
Magoon.
In regard to the wages paid and the
statement that so many men have left be-
cause of the reduction i'm salaries, the fact
is that wages, instead of being reduced
have been very considerably increased I'm
every branch of the service on the isthmus
during the life of the present commission
1t will be the fixed practice of the COM
mission as far as practicable to fill the
higher and more desirable positions by
the promotions of deserving employees. The
entrance or beginners salary for the cleri'
cal positions such as bookkeepers, stenog-
raphers typewriters is $500 per annum
and for craftsmen from $500 TO 5000. Tho
wages received in the outdoor positions
are from 10 to 25 per cent higher than those
paid in the United States, being in gen
| eral for switch engineers e125; engine fore,
men, 500; helpers, SIS; track foremen, IS;
! to 800 and supervisors, $50 to $l75 pei
month All the mechanical tradesmen, such
| as carpenters, blacksmiths, machinists
| etc, receive Sc cents per hour. In add
| tion, all employees are furnished quarters
| or allowed Is per cent increase in pay ir
| lieu thereof and are given six weeks leave

FRENCH SOCIALISTS BARRED
VI. Jaures VIII Not be Permitted 60
speak In the German
Capital.

, BERLIN, July 6.-Chancellor Won Buelow
telegraphed to Prince Radolin, the German
ambassador, at Paris today to inform NJ.
Jaures, the French socialistic leader, that
the German government thought it best
to debar him from speaking in Berlin
July Q, as it had been announced he in
tended to.
Tho invitation to M. Jaures came from
the socialist executive committee ruling the
party and was designed to advance the So
cialist opposition to the governments $
Moroccan policy and to demonstrate the
similarities Of view on foreign questions
of socialists of all countries The subject
chosen was the task of the social democ-
racy in the preservation Of the worlds
peace and the solidarity Of the interna-
tional proletariat. Allusions had been made
in the Reichstag by Chancellor Won Buelow
to the contrasts between Herr Bebel, the
German socialist leader and NJ. Jaures to
the disadvantage of Herr Bebel and an ac-
count had been circulated in the newspa-
pers and not denied that the emperor made
complimentary anotation on the margin
Of a newspaper clipping concerning NJ.
Jaures in his course in cooperation with
he nonsocialistic parties on some public
lestions Therefore when some Of the
VI.
.ures would not be allowed to speak the
idea was not accepted generally. Whether
! Herr Bebel will speak in Paris as is also
announced is not certain. Herr Bebel him
self is out of town. The French govern
ment forbade Herr Bebel from speaking
in Paris six years ago and the German
| government prohibited Herr Bueb, a MEM
Der Of the Reichstag from speaking on the
| French side of the frontier near Muel-
| hausen. two years ago.
| Precedents are not numerous in most OF
| the continental states. Nevertheless the
| exclusion of NJ. Jaures is certain to cause
much discussion. The governments action
is not known to the public yet. The semi
official North German Gazette will con-
tain the news tonight.
Herr Singer, who next to M Bebel is
! the leading socialist in Germany, says the
action of the government is ridiculous and
| is a confession of weakness.
| PARIS, July 6.-Something of a sensation
/ has been created here by the announce
ment that Deputy, Jaures leader Of the
French socialists, had been prevented by
| the German government from speaking al
! Berlin next Sunday. The proposed address
| attracted much discussion owing to its sig
nihcance as foreshadowing the common
program to be adopted by the social de-
mocracy OF the two countries.
NJ. Juares' secretary was seen tonight
and said that the deputy was preparing tC
leave for Berlin. He said that NJ. Jaures
knew nothing Of the interdicton, but thai
