WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Flint and Secretary Hitchcock have
just crossed swords in a determined
struggle over the bill granting right

Senator Flint came out winner with
flying colors, President Roosevelt hav-

the bills passage on the terms desired
by Flint.
Flint saw Hitchcock Sunday and
urged him to write letter to the
house committee indorsing the Los
Angeles bill Hitchcock refused, inti-
mating that Los Angeles was trying to
defraud other committees.
Flint Indignantly repudiated this and
the interview developed into a lively
quarrel. This morning Flint went to
President Roosevelt and explained
what he had asked Hitchcock to do.
The president Immediately directed
Hitchcock to comply with the request
and added that If necessary he would

STRICKEN CITY TO
RECEIVE BIG LOAN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Judge
w. w. Morrow has returned from
Washington, well satisfied with the
outcome of his trip. He was to have
met the finance committee in confer
ence this morning, but the absence of
James d. Phelan caused the postpone
ment of the meeting. Judge Morrow
was one of a delegation of prominent
citizens sent from here at the suggestion
Of E. II. Hartman to urge upon the
president and congress the necessity Of
helping to rehabilitate the destroyed
city.
"I am satisfied" he said today, "that
we have successfully accomplished our
mission. 1t was expected that we could
gain the desired relief by legislation,
but upon reaching Washington we
found that there was a strong opposl-
ton to an out-andout loan, so we were
compelled to abandon that scheme and
to rely upon the executive branch of
the government for aid. We have Sc
cured a guarantee for the unsold mu-
nicipal bonds and an advance of
$40, 1000, 900.
"It is, of course, impossible to tell
just when this money will be available.
That will develop later on. At present
the finance committee must prepare for
the formation of a corporation which
can give the banks satisfactory Sc
curity for the $10000G00."

SANTA FE TRACKS THREATENED
Five Hundred Men Make Vain At
tempt to Check Floods


FRESNO, June 25.-Five hundred
men are working today between Laton
and Hanford in vain endeavor to
check the mighty rush of flood waters.
About half of that number are working
on the Santa Fe tracks, through which
the water has broken in three or four
places.
AS consequence Santa Fe trains are
runnig only to Laton. Officials state
that it is hoped that the break will be
mended in a few days.
The south bank of the Kings river
has broken and a flood of waters is
sweeping through Hardwick station
and Orangeville in Kings county.
Whether Hanford will be flooded is
still problematical, but the water is
flowing quickly in that direction. The
break occurred above the Last Chance
headgate yesterday afternoon and
soon about sixty feet Of levee was torn
away
Great excitement was caused in Han
ford and hundreds of people journeyed
to the scene of the disaster The
break is by this time $50 feet in width
and 1t will be impossible to repair it.
Hundreds of acres of vineyards and
orchards are being flooded. Yesterday
ninety feet of the big flume over Cole
slough, near Kingsburg, was washed
away by the floods. The water that is
used to irrigate the Grant lands comes
through this structure.
Reports from the mountains indicate
that the water is still rising.

HURRICANE DEVELOPS HIGH SEA
Levees Near Stockton Are Struck by
Waves Five Feet High
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STOCKTON, June 25.-The water has
been very high in this vicinity for
the last two weeks. Yesterday a hur-
ricane blew and waves four or five
feet high were blown against the levees
from the sea of water which has formed
by the inflow of breaks occurring in
the Tracy region last winter.
The crevasse threatened the inunda-
tion of from 10000 to $4,000 acres of
rich grain land. AS the levee is made
of sand it was feared at the outset
that it would be impossible to stop
the break, but nevertheless an order
was teephoned to this city for a
dredger.
During the forenoon today this order
was cancelled. When the message can
ceiling the order for the dredger was
received there was some faint hope here
that the break had been stopped, but
information received later showed that
there was no use for the machine, as
the crevasse had widened so rapidly
that an attempt to close 1t would be
useless.
At 1O:30 O'Clock a message was re-
celved by the Mail from Clifton Court,
stating that at that hour $4,000 acres
Of land were under water. The tract
Is known as Reclamation district No 2.
Clifton Court was reported to be still
safe and the levees there appeared to
be in no immediate danger. There
appeared to be no danger, either, of the
water breaking through into Roberts
island.

COURT DECIDES
AGAINST TRUST
BY Associated E'resA

BY Associated E'resR-
ST. LOUIS, June 25.--In the circuit
court today Judge Ryan, decided in
favor of purchaser, who contended
that he does not have to pay for goods
which he voluntarily bought from a
concern, which, he alleges, is a mem
Der of a so-called trust. The Cahill-
Swift Manufacturing company had
brought suit for $240 against Joseph E.
Walsh on the allegation that Walsh
had bought goods to the value of the
judgment asked and had refused to pay
for them.
Walsh acknowledged that this was
true and stated that he had installed
them in fiat. His counsel termed the
company ''trust" and argued that the
defendant did not have to pay for
goods bought from a trust any more
than he would have to pay gambling
debt.
Walsh's defense was based solely
upon his antitrust argument and the
courts decision was in his favor.

Accepted
to The Herald.


DENVER, June 25.-Before the or
ganization of the International Juven-
lie Improvement association at Chi
cago a few days ago, Judge Lindsey
of the juvenile court at Denver, the
nestor of the movement, gave pledge
that he would refuse John d. Rookie
felelr's offer of $5,000,00O to finance it.
The offer of the oil magnate was
made to Judge Lindsey through his
secretary last summer, Judge Lindsey
having made the trip to New York on
Mr.. Rockefeler's invitation. 1t was q
that the movement be given an inter-
national character and it was Judge
Lindsey's intention that this step
should be taken at the national conven-
tion of charities and corrections at
Philadelphia.
The question, however was tabled at
Philadelphia without word of ex-
PLANTATION.
AT Judge Lindsey's earnest soIicita-
ton, however a meeting of Juvenile
workers was later called by Judge
Mack of Chicago to convene at Hull
house, Chicago.
lHe week p%lore tne udle OF InlS
meeting Judge Lindsey and Miss Jane
Addams of Hull house met at the bien
NAL meeting of the Federated Womans
clubs at st. Paul, and there Miss Ad-
dams told Judge Lindsey that only on
condition that Rockefeer's offer was
turned down would it be possible for
herself or other leading workers along
the lines of the proposed association
to attend the meeting
Judge Lindsey gave the pledge that
the association was formed with the
hearty support of all Juvenile workers,
but with no tainted money

MINNEAPOLIS, June 25.-w. C.
Edgar, chairman of the relief fund for
the San Francisco sufferers, is in re-
ceipt of the following telegram from his
correspondent in San Francisco con-
cerning the sale of Minneapolis flour
by General Greely:
Red Cross finance committee Is w.
ing. There are thousands of applica-
tions for flour. Large numbers of cler-
gymen also demanding it for their
needy parishioners
General opinion Is that serious Of
fense has been committed in selling
goods entrusted to the committee for
free distribution. Advise taking strong
action Immediately"
Mr.. Edgar's reply was as follows:
Believing in the good faith of the
Red Cross we unfortunately turned
over every dollar of our funds to its
agent. We therefore have no money
to make a legal fight against this
shameful misappropriation, which is
endorsed by the national authorities
at Washington"
Mr.. Edgar's mail contains many let
ters from fire and earthquake sufferers
complaining bitterly of the treatment
accorded them by the citizens commit
tee.
They declare that every pound of
the flour which General Greely had on
hand is badly needed and that a Mig
gardly system of furnishing supplies
obtains in all quarters.
These letters came from illiterate and
educated persons alike.

she did.
She said it was the morphine which
kept her up during the trial. The
poison the woman secured from DR..

FLOODS DESTROY
RICH FARM LAND
UNION ISLAND IS SWEPT BY
OVERFLOW
Break In Levee on Old River WIdens
From Fifty to Two Thousand
Feet-Farmers Cult Homes
and Flee
BY Associated Press.


STOCKTON, June 25.-Union island,
containing ten square miles of the rich
est reclamation land in California and
bearing heavy crops of potatoes, beans
and asparagus. is being rapidly flooded
from break in the levee on Old River,
which occurred at o'clock this morn
ing.
At o'clock the break had widened
from fifty to 1000 feet, and though a
fleet Of dredgers hastened to the scene
the situation seems hopeless.
The break occurred at Chinese camp
at Kuckuk landing. Island farmers are
deserting their homes and fleeing for
safety. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage at this Time
Another break on the lower end of
the island and flood waters may not ex-
tend to the upper end. The break at
Union island has undoubtedly saved
Victoria, Woodward and other ada
cent islands for time at least.
