SHORT LINE OPERATES
TRAINS OUT OF MONTANA

BUTTE, Mont, June S.-The Oregon
Short line Is the only line today
operating trains out of Montana from
this point, though late tonight the
Northern Pacific will have three trains
in from the east.
The washout at Jefferson island was
repaired at noon today and all was in
readiness to send trains over the line
into Butte when a wreck ACQUIRED al
most within sight of the city, blocking
the line for a number of hours.
The last train on the Great Northern
to reach Butte came in on the evening
of June g. There Is little prospect to-
night of resumption of train service
before the end of the week, until which
time the mines of the Boston e. Mon
tana' company in this city must remain
closed, the Great Northern trains
carrying the ore from Butte to the
Great Falls smelters. The latter are
closed as the result of water breaking
through a penstock and flooding the
works, doing considerable damage.
Further information from the west
tonight is to the effect that miles of the
Northern Pacific tracks are out, and
marooned passengers at Drummond will
not be able to get out of that place be-
fore a weeks time, according to the
railroad people.
The Boulder river at Basin last night
reached the highest stage In sixteen
years washing out three steel bridges

HERMAN BILLEK TO
HANG NEXT FRIDAY
GOVERNOR DENEEN REFUSES
COMMUTATION
Priest Declared from Pulpit Convlc-
ton Was Brought About by Per-
jured Testimony Due to
Prosecution

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June S.-Gov-
ernor Deneen today, on recommends
tion of the state board of pardons, de-
cided not to interfefe in the case of
Herman Billek, under death sentence in
Chicago for murder. The execution is
scheduled to take place next Friday.
Billek is a Bohemian fortune teller,
whose conviction was declared from the
pulpit of st. Marys church by Rev. P.
J. O'Callaghan of the Paulist Fathers
of Chicago, to be the result of perjured
testimony due to suggestion and in
timidation on the part of the prosecu-
ton and police. The accusation against
Billek was that through the agency of
a Mrs. Vzral, who afterward committed
suicide, he murdered in Chicago the
womans husband and four Vzral chill
dren. The alleged motive was to get
life insurance.
CHICAGO, June S.-When the news
of the decision of the pardons board
and Governor Deneen was taken 10
Billek he collapsed and cried bitterly.
"Well, If they are going to hang me,
let them go ahead" he said. drying his
eyes. IT am ready. 1 don't care so
much for myself, but l do care for the
sake of my wife and children"
All effort on the part of Jailer Davis
to calm the prisoner met with slight
result, and Billek after having been
taken back to his cell threw himself on
his cot and wept bitterly
Assistant States Attorney Popham,
who prosecuted Billek, declared:
'The decision of the governor and the
board is eminently just. Billek is a
cold -blooded murderer, if there ever
was one"

NORTH TOPEKA oEsERTED;
BOATS REMOVE STRAGGLERs

Topeka, Kas., June S.-The crest
of the rise In the Kansas river is eX-
pected to reach here some time to-
night. The government weather bu-
reau says the water will reach a max
imum height of about 2S feet. Tonight
1t registers 1928 feet. II the rise ex-
ceeds two feet above the present level
the city waterworks will be in danger
North Topeka is practically deserted
tonight. Boat patrols were busy all
afternoon taking those people from
their homes who had delayed. Much
of the contents of the houses have
been moved over and warning has been
given to everybody.
The water is deeper in the streets
than at any time since the big flood
of 1903. From the Union Pacific
tracks to Soldier creek, Kansas ave-
nue., the main street, Is all under
water. The current is beginning to
sweep away outbuildings and thou
sands of ties from the Union Pacific
tie plant are pounding their way
through the town.
Train service is practically at
standstill. No loss of life has been
caused by the flood. A boat capsized
this afternoon and a man narrowly
escaped drowning. The further rise
predicted will put the water we'll up
into nearly all of the North Topeka
houses. All but few of the refugees
have been taken care of at hotels and
private houses. There Is no suffering.

FLOOD CREST
is EXPECTED
BY WEDNESDAY
MISSOURI AND KAW RISE INCH
AN HOUR
KANSAS CITY. LOWLANDS ARE
SUBMERGED
Train Service Over Union Pacific and
Rock Island Abandoned and
Santa Fe May Be
Closed

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 8.-The
Missouri and Kaw rivers continued to
inch an hour, but the crest of the
flood In both rivers is in sight, and
will pass on Wednesday.
The weather observer says the Kaw
will rise six or seven feet higher, and
the Missouri will rise nearly three feet
more, to twenty-six feet.
Weather conditions in Kansas are
fair and apparently the rains are over.
The tributaries of the Kaw and the
upper section of the Kaw itself are
falling and will continue to fall. The
Kaw is discharglng its water into the
Missouri at great speed, which means
that there will be no backing up az
in 1903 and 1904, when all the KaW
bottoms were flooded. In those years
the Missouri river was higher than
the Kaw.
Some of the lowlands about Kansa =
City are submerged, but no damage
has been done. All the bridges are
safe, there being little driftwood run
ming. The banks of the Kaw river
are higher than in 1903. and the rail-
road tracks are higher.
The packing houses and wholesale
establishments in the Kaw bottoms
have removed the contents of their
Easements to upper floors.
People in the Armourdale district OF
Kansas City. Kas., continued to move
from their houses today in spite of the
assurances of the weather bureau ami
the drainage board that there was no
serious danger.
Train service over the Union Pa
cific and Rock Island railroads between
Il lro hnC hnns
abandoned. Trains are routed ovec the
Santa Fe, but that line will be closed
If the water reaches the height pre-
dicted.
/, The Denver train of the Rock Island
this morning was routed over the Bur-
lington tracks to Lincoln, Neb. On
the branch lines of the various rail-
roads in the Kaw valley traffic is prac-
tically suspended.
All afternoon and into the late hours
tonight an exodus of families has been
going on from Armourdale. Tonight
the district that on last "Wednesday
had a population of 10000 could show
but 1000 persons residing within its
limits. and many of these were there
because they were too poor to go to
the expense of moving.
All day vehicles of all sorts were to
be seen carting household goods to
places of safety, while those of the
poorer classes struggled gamely along
carrying their goods long distances on
foot.
The great packing house district
was veritable hive OF industry Every
available man that could be secured
was employed to aid in removing
goods Twenty million pounds of salt
and picked meats were moved from
the cellars of the packing houses To-
Gated there and safely stored in floors
high above the flood line.

STOLEN GEMS
ARE RETURNED
TO BANKER
THIEF SENDS BACK DIAMONDS
THROUGH MAIL
MYSTERY OF GREEN BOX is YET
UNSOLVED
w. r. Botsford Receives Package by
Post-Detectives Say an Arrest
Would Have Been Made
Today

The Botsford diamonds have been re-
turned.
The mystery of the theft of the valu-
able jewels owned by w. F. Botsford,
president of the American bank, is as
yet unsolved, and it is improbable
that any arrests will be made.
The jewels were returned to Mr..
Botsford in a manner equally mysteri-
Gus as that in which they were stolen.
Carefully wrapped in piece Of
white paper, bearing sufficient postage
to carry them, the jewels, valued at
about $4,000, were intrusted to Uncle
Sans postmen some time between 8
and o'clock yesterday morning and
were received by him early in the after
noon.
1t Is understood from the postmark
that the jewels were mailed IN the GEN.
tral part of the city and had been
placed in one of the large package
boxes placed on street corners to re-
ceive bundles and papers.
AS soon as the jewel box containing
the articles was received Mr.. Botsford
notified the police and detectives were
detailed to investigate this new phase
of the subject.
Thief Feared Arrest
1t is understood the police had
learned several things in connection
with the theft of the jewels, and 1t is
presumed the thief became aware that
his steps were being followed, became
frightened and returned the gems.
Since the jewels were stolen Mr.
Botsford has once visited San Fran
cisco to examine several valuable stones
taken from a burglar there, but his
were not among them.
The jewels were either stolen or they
slipped from Mr.. Botsford's pockets
while he was on a street car taking
them from his house to the bank last
Friday morning. If they slipped from
his pocket they were picked up by
some person who was also on the car
and carried away.
Mr.. Botsford missed the jewels when
he reached the office and without delay
notified the detectives.
Detectives who investigated obtained
information to the identity Of the pas
sengers who were on the car, and 1t is
said intended to arrest some person
today.
The jewels were in a small green
case, and among them were some which
had at odd times been presented Mrs.
Bottsford by her husband. Some of
them were exceptionally fine and Mrs.
Bottsford was seriously affected by
their loss.

FREIGHT RATES NOT
TO BE INCREASED NOW
Presidents and Operating Officials Of
Big Eastern Railroads Believe II
Would Not Be Expedient
to Raise Prices

WASHINGTON, June S.-No general
increase in freight rates is likely to be
made by the railroads of the country
in the near future, If 1t is to be made
at all.
At a recent meeting of presidents
and operating officials of important
railroads in New York it was the con-
sensus of opinion that 1t was unde-
sirable to put into effect at this time
an increase of freight rates. 1t was
pointed out that the proposed increase
in time of depression would tend
rather to increase freight stagnation
than to stimulate freight movement.
Such a result would be of only ad-
ditional disadvantage to the carrier.
the opinion being general that 1t would
not induce increased revenues.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June S.-The left

son of parents after whom the rich
mining town of Mayer, In this county,

Dane hound last evening.
The little fellow was swinging on

dog sprang upon him and almost tore
the arm from the socket. The arm had
to be amputated.
Almost at the same hour, the left hand
of J. T. Wheedon, president of the
Houllhan Mining company, was almost
torn off by a wild hound which he dis
covered in steel trap set for wolves
near the mine.
Wheedon was trying to liberate the
hound when 1t seized his left hand and
tore the muscles and ligaments into
shreds before Wheedon broke away.
He left this morning for treatment, as
the hound gave evidence of madness
from long confinement in the trap.
