communication by wire with Folsom, N.
NJ. devastated and isolated by flood in
Cimarron creek Thursday might. was
again established today.
1t was learned that the stories in cir
culation to the effect that scores Of per-
sons are missing are unfounded. Up to
this afternoon thirteen bodies had been
recovered Only five persons were then
missing.
Some bodies recovered were horribly
mutilated and unrecognizable.
At the height OF the flood the water was
thirteen feet deep and a mile wide in the
canon where the town Is located. The
force OF the water twisted railroad rails
like wire.
1t was learned today that Mrs. Rookie
had ample warning to escape. A resi-
dent Of the hills telephoned into her about
IL o'clock Thursday night that the waters
were rising rapidly and that she would
be flooded out within an hour If she did
not leave
Instead of needing the warning the lit
tie woman set herself to the task of saw
ing others Number after number on the
telephone exchange was called up with
the brief warning:
Pack up and leave at once. flood Is
coming down the valley.
Over forty residents seen this morning
said they had received warning from the
central Office and prepared for the terrible
emergency Apparently Mrs. Rookie had
not finished with the list of subscribers
her.
Her body was found today twelve miles
down the canon. The headpiece worn by
telephone operators still gripped her ear.

GENEVA. August 29-The Interna-
tlonal Council of Women, the organiza-

1893. and which now includes some
100000 members, scattered over the

congress of women next year at To-

standpoint the chief interest in the con-

American delegates to secure more rem

the congress and to try to break tho
almost exclusive control of the Officers
OF both organizations by the delegates
from England.

to see what can be done, and she is now
that her husband will recover. She is a
devout Christian and God will save him
for her and their little one," Is SEN

she has been in this city.
She has no fear Of contagion. But for her
little eleven-months-old child and caution
given by the health authorities she would
camp long before this. She would not
leave him-would stay with him until

western states, where, in the mountain

He said today that the great problem
that is being studied is the reforesting Of
the watersheds in order to preserve the
mountain streams.

Several times she spoke of her graft

a faint smile parted her thin. pale lips.
But her eyes were sad. She slept none
last night nor today. In fact. since the
first shock of her husbands affiiction she
has received little of what might be called
rest.
At times she would remain silent for
several moments and her lips would draw
together tightly and her eyes would look
appealingly out on the brilliantly lighted
street. AT times she would look as if she
was praying.
Where would you rather have Mr..
Early cared for?" she was asked.

conduct the Salvation Army here. and
Mrs. Early's mother, were greatly elated
over the cheerfulness she displayed at
times. Up until last night She seemed

took little interest in any one or in her
surroundings.

were happy days. and we would have
