Chicago August 16.-Flood wa

on the North Side, which are still
raging unabated, have driven hum
dreds of residents from their homes
in The darkness early tliis morning;
thousands of dollars worth of
property is being destroyed; at
least twenty horses have been
drowned, and more people are fee
ing for their lives at ever minute.
The flood started at midnight with
the bursting of a 36-ipch water
main, which supplied the North
side. Already the foundations of a
score of houses and buildings are
destroyed.
The Stock Hotel, six stories high,
at % to Sc Chicago Avenue, is
about to collapse.
In some places the water bas al
ready attained depth of fourteen
feet. The flow still continues, and
all efforts to check the torrent up
to 5 O'Clock this morning had
proved unavailipg. Patrol wagons
are moving hundreds from theft
homes. Two thousand families
have been rendered homeless.
Some twenty horses have been
drowned. but the police have re-
ceived no reports of the loss OF hu-
man life.
Foundations are rapidly washing
away from beneath many buildings
and the streets suddenly have been
converted into whirlIng rapids, car
rying all manner of debris, house

them. In some- places the water
has reached the second floors o
dwellings, and many are threat

There is no making an estimate

No Change in Policy.


Among other things, Mr.. Roose-
Welt, IN his speech at Province
town, Mass, August 90, said:
During the present trouble with
the stock market / have, of course,
received countless requests and
suggestions, public and prlyate'
that 1 should say or do something
to ease the situation. There is
worldwide nnaucial disturbance.
1t is felt on the bourses of Paris
and Berlin and British consuls are
lower, while prices of railway Sc
curities have also deprecated.
On the New York Stock Ex-
change the distul bance has been
particularly severe. Most, OF 1t
believe 10 be due to matters not
particularly confined TO the United
States. and TO matters wholly nn.
connected with any government
action; but it may we'll be that the
determination of the government,
in which, gentlemen, 1t will not

been responsible for something OF

of having caused these men to

TO the law.
Our aim is to help every honeseT
man, every honest corporation, and
our policy means IN It's ultimate
analysis a healthy and prosperous
of business activities OF
honest businessmen and honest cor.
porations.
/ very earnestly hope that the
legislation which deals with the
regulation of corporations engaged
in interstate business will also deal
with the rights and interests of
wagexorkers employed by those
corporations. Action was taken
by the Congress last year limiting
the number of hours that railway
employees should be employed.
The law is a good one; but If IN
practice it proves necessary to
strengthen 1t, is must be strength
ened. We have now secured ma
tlonal employers liability law; but
ultimately a more far-reas ng ana
thorough. going law must passed,
1t is monstrous that M pr wo-
man who is crippled in an Fndus-
try, even as the result of taking
what are the necessary risks OF the
occupation, should be required to
pear the whole burden of the loss.
That burden should be distributed
and not placed solely upon the
weakest individual, the one least
able to carry 1t. By making the
employer liable the loss will ultl.
mately be distributed among the
beneficiaries of the business.
also hope there will be leglsla-
tion increasing the power OF the
national government TO deal with
certain matters eoncernlng the
health of our people everywhere.
