THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Rivers in Texas Higher Than for
twenty-five Years.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 20.--An.
other rise of three feet in Clear and
West Fork rivers forced thousands of
persons to flee from their homes in
East Fort Worth. So far as known
four persons have lost their lives. The
rise was so rapid that people were
obliged to leave their furniture and
personal effects. At least 5000 per-
sons have been rendered homeless
and all streams are still rising. Rail-
road service is badly crippled and the
Texas and Pacific railroad reports
that II will not be able to send out
trains west for two or three days.
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande and
the Santa Fe railroads are running
very few trains. Five hundred dele
gates to the state labor convention
are waterbound here.
A cloudburst In Parker and Pale
Pinto counties will probably send the
Brazos and Trinity rivers two feet
higher and these streams are now
higher than in twenty-five years.
North Fort Worth is Isolated and
500 houses are submerged. Mineral
City, near Weatherford, Is under wa,
ter and Cleburn, south of here on the
Santa Fe, is surrounded by the food.

EARLY END EXPECTED
Russian Foreign Office Keenly In.
tereSted in Frontier War.
FLOODS DELAY OPERATIONS
Incident OF Particular importance Be-
cause IL Is the First Occasion for
the Application of Russia's Right to
Preserve Order in Persia.

st. Petersburg, April 20-The for
eign Office is keenly interested in
Russia's little frontier war in Persia.
1t is the first occasion to arise for the
active application of Russia's rights,
under the Anglo-Russian agreement,
to interfere to preserve order in North
ern Persia. The operations themselves
are considered of minor Importance
and they will quickly come to an end
so soon as the subsistence of the floods
permits the movement of the Russian
detachments Russia counts upon the
hearty support of Great Britain and
expects no interference on the part of
any other power.
The foreign Office has no further
news of fighting. The Russian COM
mander telegraphs that the Persian
inhabitants along the frontier have
abandoned their villages and fed to
the mountains. The Russian detach-
ment is still in Persian territory.
