Orders were sent from the navy dey

do everything possible TO find some

Captain Swift, of the Connecticut,
has arranged his cruise so as to pass
through in broad daylight the waters,
where the Ponce may be drifting. He
believes that the vessels arriving at
New York from Porto Rico may have
passed the Ponce at night.
1t became known during the day
that there are nine known derelicts

offices of the photographic bureau,
Captain Hunt announced that the
most dangerous of the derelicts is the

WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENT GETS
HEARTY SUPPORT OF CLUB IN
FIGHT BEING MADE FOR
WHITEWATER PARK.

The recent ordinance passed by
council prohibiting the interurban
railroads from carrying and trans
porting freight upon Main street
formed the principal theme for dis
cussion at the monthly meeting of
the Commercial club last evening.
The discussion was very animated,
and there were many arguments pro
and con, but sentiment was generally
with the action of the council and
board of public works. Resolutions
were drawn up endorsing the ordi-
nance and urging the strict enforce
ment of it until satisfactory arrange
ments could be- had with the inter
urban railway company. There We're
a few who held that the action was
wrong, but they were very much in
the minority In the general discus
sion that followed the regular meet
ing there was much criticism of the
local street car service and examples
of other cities cited where better SER
vices was given under similar condl-
tions.
The club also endorsed the request
presented to the board of public works
by the West Side Improvement asso-
citation for the purchase of tract
of land on the west bank of the White
water river, to form part of an en-
larged park or boulevard. The need
of immediate action was expressed
and the club urged the same.
Two committees were appointed to
nominate seven directors to serve Tor
the coming year. These nominations
to be voted upon at the next meeting
of the club in February. They were
composed of John NJ. LontZ. George
Mashmeyer and B. F. Wissler and Z.
D. Slifer, E. NJ. Haas and b. f. Wiss-
Ter.
There was a very large and enthu-
siastic attendance.

GET A HEAVY D0WNPOUR
THEIR FEARS RENEWED
REPETITION of the Flood of 1884-the
Feet

Evansville, Ind, Jan. &. - "A con-
tinuous downpour of rain since before
daylight, amounting to nearly two
inches, and prevalent all over the
Ohio valley, renews tenfold the fears
OF the people along the river of the
flood equaling that of 1884. The riv-
er is stationary at 40.3 feet Six
feet more on the gauge means a repe
tition of the flood of twenty-one years
ago.
The city of Evansville has not expe-
rienced a more severe rain in two
years. Streets in the low outlying sec
tions are all flooded, and at the end
of the Washington avenue car line
cars ran in water to the first step
early today. This part of the city has
no drainage, and Bedford Park, ex-
clusively a residence district, has its
cellars filed and overfowing.

WANTS IN CLASS B"
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Tri-stare League Laying Claim to
Trenton and Wilmington, Two
Towns Wanted by the Atlantic
League Newly Organized.
Publishers Press.1

New York, Jan. s. = The board of
arbitration of the National association
of minor professional baseball leagues
met this Afternoon at the Victoria ho-
tel to straighten out the tangle re-
garding the Tri-state league, which
the National commission yesterday at
Cincinnati admitted into the National
agreement and the right to operate
under its protection. The Tri state
league is anxious TO be admitted TO
Glass B. of baseball leagues and to
do this must have a combined popu-
lation in the playing cities of 400,-
600. Tri-state magnates are anxious
to secure the admission of Trenton
and Wilmington in it's circuit, which
would give the league necessary quail
ifications to enter Glass B. The At
lantic league, a new eastern organ
ization, lays claim to Wilmington and
Trenton and made vigorous opposi-
ton this afternoon to the Tri-state
league. John NJ. Ward appeared for
the Atlantic league before the board,
which held a long session, AMI later
deferred decision.
The Rochester club this afternoon
obtained, by purchase, outfielder Jack
Hayden, of the Boston American
league team.
