THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Rivers in Texas Higher Than for
Twenty-Five Years.

Fort Worth, Tex, April Pam
other rise OF three feet in Clear and
West Fork rivers forced thousands of
persons to fee 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 it 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 Palo
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 flood.

Entire Population Of the Boundary

Support of the Brigands.
st. Petersburg, April 21-The latest
news received here of the boundary
war-that Russian detachment had
been penned in and was calling for
reinforcements- aroused the anX-
1ety OF the foreign Office. It shows
that the entire population of this dis

attacked. The situation may become
still more serious if the Kurdish ban

couraged by the retirement of the
Russian troops, join their Persian
kindred and threaten the Russian
communications. The town of Shirin,
whittier one of the Russian detach-

situated on the Persian frontier TWEEN
ty miles from Belesuvar. The de-

Shirin has been operating to cover

SIMPLE WASH.CURES ECZEMA
Itching, Burning Skin Disease
Routed Without Use of In
furious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. Decatur D.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist
of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own office prac-
rice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly .Emixed
with other simple remedies ;. was
practically a sure specific for Eczema,
psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, salt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. It required. other
mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with I. the
wintergreen, to produce the real
CCZGHld cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant it is ap-
piled to the skin. This vegetable
liquid does away with deleterious
drugs so long used in an attempt to
doctor the blood. Whereas modern
science has determined that eczema
is first and all the time a skin dis.

San Francisco, April 21.-Army Off
GERS on the transport Buford from he
Philippines bring news of serious up
risings In Mindanao and spasms of
guerrilla warfare between the whites,
the settlers and the natives.

charge of the troops that arrived on
the Buford, "and we have ended the
trouble for the time. But another
outbreak may come at any minute"
Captain Charles H. Muir of the Sec

Moro country quieting the natives
and the campaign there was a trying
one. The natives, he said, fight as did
the North American Indians and it
takes many weeks of scouting and
hard work to bring them to terms.

SURROUNDED BY BRlGANDS
Russian Force in Persia in Critical
Situation.

Tifis, April 21.-An alarming report
has just been received here setting
forth the critical situation of small
Russian expeditionary force in Persia,
which is menaced by vastly superior
body of Persian brigands. The Rus
sian troops penetrated the frontier in
the neighborhood of Belesuvar in pur-
suit of Kurdish brigands who had
committed depredations in Russian
territory.
The Russian commander of the
force has sent out a messenger de-
handing achievements of infantry,
artillery and cavalry.
The Persians, who have been joined
by a warlike tribe of Nomads, sur
round the Russians with numerous
force and their horsemen have as
sumed the offensive. The sending in
of Russian reinforcements is made
particularly difficult by the flooded
condition of the country.
The Russians had three men killed
and ten wounded in various minor en-
gagements with the Persians.

QUESTION OF VEAL TIL
Sole Reason for Objection to Dr..
Hill by German Emperor.
TOO POOR TO LIVE IN STYLE
Congressman Longworth Discusses In
cident During Debate on the Diplo-
matte Appropriation Bill in the
House of Representatives.

Washington, April 2, 1.-THE objec-
ton to DR.. Hill as ambassador to Ber-
lin was simply and solely that his pri-
Vate fortune would not enable him to
represent properly the dignity of the
American nation"
This statement was made in the
house of representatives by Mr.. Long
worth of Ohio during the considera-
ton of the diplomatic appropriation
bill. Mr.. Longworth was making a
plea for the maintenance by the gov
ernment Of suitable legation buildings
at the various foreign capitals. He
referred to the press dispatches stat
ing that the German emperor had re-
fused to accept Mr.. Hill and to the
official denial given to the published
stories. Nevertheless" said Mr..
Longworth, there is no doubt that
there was foundation for these
stories beyond mere rumor and it is
undoubtedly true that persons high
have been saying that DR.. Hill was
not persona gratissima to the en-
perOr."
Poverty the Only Drawback.
These objections, however, he de-
clared, could not be because DR.. Hill
was not experienced in diplomacy, nor
sufficiently learned in international
law, nor that he was not sufficiently
able and representative. They were,
he asserted, due entirely to the fact
that because he was not sufficiently
well off to pay the difference be-
tween the amount paid him as salary
and the amount necessary to maintain
his position as ambassador he would
not only not be able to keep up such
an establishment as that of the pres
ent American ambassador but would
not be able to keep up any establish
ment at ALL
Mr.. LongWorth said that without
going into the question as to whether
Mr.. Tower had maintained so luxuri-
GUS an establishment everybody would
dor to Germany should at least have
a house to live in and not be COM
PEELED to live in hotel or a flat.
ut is no excuse" he said, that we
do not act because financial conditions
do not warrant the expense. An Office
holding aristocracy is bad enough in
any country when based on birth and
blood, but when based on wealth it is
infinitely worse, and worse than all
in republic"

pairing Other Documents in Case.
Washington, April 2'.-A noted
handwriting expert testified before
the special committee of the house
which is investigating the charges
brought by Representative Lilley of
Connecticut that members of the
house had been improperly Influenced
by the Electric Boat company in the
matter of submarine boat legislation.
Chairman Boutell stated at the outset
of the session that of the many
charges before the committee the
most serious was that corrupt means
had been used to secure or defeat
nomination and election of members
of the present congress.
"Such a charge reflects upon the in
tegrity of the house and deserve the
most exhaustive examination by this
committed" he said. "The only case
of the kind which the testimony has
disclosed is the cowardIy attempt that
has been made, partly through an
anonymous letter, to blacken the name
and ruin the career of Representative
Loud of Michigan. AS no one has had
the courage to admit the authorship of
these daStardly communications this
committee feels that the burden has
been laid upon it to discover if pos
sible the authorship of these COM
munications.'
Expert Identifies Typewriter.
Mr.. Boutell stated that the letters
had been turned over to experts and
he then called David N. Carvalho to
the stand. II --|, -. ~. ...
Mr.. Carvalho said he had examined
the two letters in question, one re-
ceived by the Washington correspond
ent Of the Detroit Free Press and the
other by Frank Marlborough, state
senator from Michigan and now
candidate for congress against Mr..
Loud. He also had examined great
many of the typewriter documents
and compared them with the anon
ymous letters, taking photographs and
preparing charts showing his deduc-
lions.
PROFESSIONALLY, he said, the two
anonymous letters and certain of the
papers were written on one and the
same machine. These documents, it
has been testified, were dictated by
former Senator Thurston and written
by Almer E. Neff on a typewriter in
the Washington Office of the Torpedo
Boat company. The documents in
question were questions and state
ments presented to the committee by
Mr.. Lilley and signed by him.
The witness said that the identity
of typewriting machines on which two
or more papers were written could be
determined more readily than the gen.
uineness of handwriting.
