SEVERE FLOODS AT
 OKLAHOMA CITY
PEOPLE IN LOWLANDS OF sUB- URBS FACE A SERIOUS SITUA- TloN-THE CROPS RUINED AND STOCK DROWNED.

Oklahoma City. Okla, April 29.-With Lightning creek out of it's banks and the Canadian river rising steadily the people in the lowlands on Capitol Hill, a suburb of Oklahoma City, are racing a situation that will become critical if the heavy rains of the last twenty-four hours con tnue Crops have been ruined and much stock drowned. Residents of the bot toms were forced to leave their homes Sunday and several persons were forced to remain in trees all night.
 Suffer From Cold.
 F't Worth, Tex. April 29--A dispatch to the Record from Oklahoma City says:
 At least one person is believed to have been drowned and thousands of dollars damages done to railroad and other prop erty as the result of terrific water spout that struck the southern portion of this city about midnight last night.
 The damage was greatest in Capitol Hill, a suburb, where twenty buildings used as dwelling houses for the poorer class were destroyed. The storm had ap- parently spent it's fury though the rain had no! ceased when the residents of the little village were aroused by the rush. ing water and a wall of water five to six feet high came down on them. In a few minutes houses were floating in every ting for their lives. Rescuers did brave ting for their lives. Rescuerqs did brave work.
 J. o. Williamson was caught in the stream and held until early this morn ing An unknown man secured horse and effected his rescue, but the stranger was carried away and has not been found.
 Railroads are the principal sufferers. The Rock Island did not run trains either way today on account of washouts. The Santa Fe got their first train south to- night the track along the east side of Capitol Hill having been washed away for nearly 200 yards, The Frisco started a train south over their line tonight, but 1t was impossible to make anything like scheduled time.
 Late tonight the weather suddenly turned cold and families made destitute by the flood while being cared for by charitable persons it Is feared will suf- fer.

Because Both Rebel Factions
 Name Presidents
NlCARAGUANS ARREST ALL
Comic Opera Touch to the Outbreak. DaVilla Finally observation-disclosures Would Follow Departure of
 American Warshlps.

Puerto Cortes. Honduras, April 2s, via New Orleans, April 29.--Fresh fighting has occurred in Honduras. the latest be- ing battle in the streets of the capital city between the factions of the vic torious Honduran rebels. who a few weeks ago helped Nicaragua overthrow the government
 4 letter, which escaped the censorship and arrived here, says that the troops of the iunta opened hostilities among them selves on April B. The fighting was brought on because of a somewhat un- usual kind of government which the lead CTS had tried.
 Three of these leaders, Rosales, Bus tillo and Castro. agreed to take turns as President each serving fifteen days. It developed, however, that each during his term attempted to strengthen his party by dividing up the patronage where it would do him most good. Finally the friends of Policarpo Bonlla proclaimed Bustillo provisional president without any flfteen-day clause, and the opposing fac tions did the same for Rosales. Then fighting began, Troops of both sides oc- cupled what is known as University place adjoining the palace.
 Rosales from a window of the presiden- tial palace shouted to his partisans to open fire The other side replied, mer- chants shut their shops and battle was on in the principal business sterets of Te- gueigalpa.
 Badly aimed bullets showered upon the houses, but caused only seven deaths. A dramatic, almost comic opera, ending closed this battle when General Mig ueles Davila. who Is now provisional pres ident, rushed among the combatants and persuaded their leaders to stop the fight ing. Later another battle was started near the town, but this IIme Ncaraguan invaders marched up and literally ar rested all the troops of both factions This effectively stopped the fighting. Not shot was fired by the Nlcaraguans Later Davila became president with the faction leaders holding the ministerial of fees. The Nicaraguans continue to po- lice the capital, and it is safe to say that If President Zelaya wthdraws hls forces from Honduras the strongest fac tion will take possession and proclaim q president of It's choice.
 These same conditions mak make |. necessary for the American gunboats to continue indefinitely their protection over foreign interests. Already forced loans on Tekucigalpa, and the infusion of paper money in the currency has about par alyzed the commerce of that city and of Comayagua. These conditions would like ly extend to the coast towns within forty eight hours after the departure of the American blue jackets. All war and po- litical news is so strictly censored that Puerto Cortes relies for the main part of it's information about the situation upon newspapers from the United States.

AMERICA LEADS
 IN SPRING SALON
PROMINENT PLACE AT SOCIETY OF FRENCH ARTISTS IS GIVEN AMERICAN WORK FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS.

Paris, April 29.-President Fallieres. ac- France of foreign nations. including Hen ry White, the American ambassador, this afternoon inaugurated the spring salon of the Society of French Artists in the Grand Palals.
 It is the unanimous verdict that the ex- hibtion of paintings and sculptures sur passed any seen in dozen years. Amer lea for the first time leads all foreign countries, both in numbers and excellency of work displayed This is recognized. and prominent place has been accorded the American canvases. England secures second place.
 The entire exposition is remarkable for the uniformly high standard of the works. Only 1900 pictures are shown the jury having ruthlessly rejected those of over 400 aspirants. All paintings of the dec- adent. or the impressionist schools, have been vigorously excluded.
 The sensation of the salon is a huge canvas by wm. Laparra, who won the Prix de Rome last year. The painting originally was entitled "Grandeure Milf taire," but subsequently, was changed to ''Le Pedestal" The picture Is bold in conception and execution.
 Perhaps the most artistic bit of canvas is that of Jos. Bail, which shows two nuns In a convent. The Marquse De- Wentworth's portrait of President Roose- welt ranks among the best portraits while Harbert Wards .'IdoP' and s. E. Frys Indian Chief are among the best pieces of sculpture.
