A Lengthy Program.

AT least four organized bodies are at
work preparing bills for the considera-
ton of the legislators. The Civic
League will have a bill on the Des
Moines plan for cities of the first class
Its committee has returned from the
Iowa city and will report favorably on
the plan which the legislature will be
asked to sanction.
The Utah Teachers association ap-
pointed committee to consider school
needs and prepare bills accordingly,
which will convene about the time or
opening the legislature. Bills proba-
BILE from this source will include one
strengthening the plan of county con-
solidation of school districts. All the
educators favor the plan of county
units, and the opposition comes from
some of the school boards in the coun-
try districts. Another bill will propose
to compel uniformity in school build
ings. compelling the submission ..
plans to some authority before build
ings are erected. This bill will apply
to sanitation OF school buildings as we'll
as to lighting and heating arrange
ments, with provisions for safety or
the pupil. Still another bill on educa-
tional matters will require a higher
standard for teaching certificates, MAX
ing examinations necessary in peda-
gogy and psychology.

There are two insurance propositions
to come before the legislature. Both OF
these are in the direction of an ampli-

FLOOD GROWS MORE SERIOUS
Continual Downpouf Causes Most Dis
astrous Results in Montana
Roads Are Helpless.

Missoula, Mont, June 6. - Thirty
days of continuous rain, with the
downpour still continuing, has
brought the most disastrous results
to Central Montana ever known in
the history of the state. The rail.
roads position, considered almost
hopeless early in the week, now is
more than that of demoraliZations.
and the thousands of men who have
been sent out on emergency calls
with piledrivers and train loads Of
rock to try to stem the damage are
all but helpless in the maze of the
torrents which they are called on to
fight.
Dams are going out before the rush
of waters, and in some OF the cities,
notably at Butte, the sources of cleo
trical power have been swept away
and the cities are without lights,
street cars, telephones or even tele-
graphic communication with the out
side world.
Throughout the central part of the
state every little brook and trout
stream is a raging torrent, and the
biggest rivers have been turned into
destructive seas. Railroad tracks
are being swept away entirely in
some sections, and the suffering and
damage in cities and villages are be-
ing increased by the failure of trans
portation facilities.
What the damage will amount to in
some of the range districts there is
no means of knowing, all chances for
communication being cut off. Roads
are absolutely impossible by any
means
There is no communication east of
Missoula by rail or by telegraph. At
Garrison nearly all the residents have
fled from their homes and are camp
ed on the hills in the rain.
The damage to the new roadbed OF
the st. Paul line between Missoula
and Butte will not fall short of q
million dollars, and it is becoming
greater all the time.
Butte and Helena are isolated SO
! far as traffic is concerned and several
| shelters will be forced to close for

Minneapolis, June 6. - Curtains OF
mystery have been pulled aside and in
the food OF truth which illumines the
strangely horrible case of James
Flood, the boy murderer who shot and
instantly killed A. p. Camden, total
stranger to the slayer, on Nicollet
avenue at midnight Wednesday, q
story is disclosed that possesses pc
cultar psychological interest
BY his own confession, confirmed by
police officers, the lad now locked up
In the Minneapolis police headquar-
ters is not James Montague as he
first said, but James Flood, whose
relatives live in the vicinity of Aus
Tin, MINI. Flood who is sixteen
years old, was born at Dexter, MINI.
Through Sweating Process.
Yesterday Flood was put through a
severe sweating process and late in
the afternoon he gave out the first au-
thentic information regarding himself
and the crime.
That the boy murderer is deplorably
weak mentally the police have no
doubt, but whether his mind is sut-
ficiently diseased to save him from the
gallows is a question open TO dispute.
Through all the horror of his crime
the youth passes his time pleasantly
In his cell, frequently commenting
upon his own cleverness as a female
mpersonator and the beauty of the
feminine garments which he had
spread out in his room at the Hans
hotel
Had Woman's Wardrobe.
In this COLLECTION of woman's raj
ment he had dainty blue frock,
white underskirt, straight front cor
set, open work hose and low shoes.
The cunning of his peculiar mentality
had apparently told MIN that there
! would be safety in such disguise.
He was thwarted in attempting such
an escape by being captured before he
reached his room.
There is no motive, either real or
imaginative, for the murder of Cam
den.
Il shot Camden because he came
along just when though there ought
to be something doing" is all the ess'
PLANTATION the boy would give. Il am
not sorry that he is dead, for he had
| to die some time and the quicker the
sooner. 1t didn't Tease me to look
upon his bloody face at the morgue
