The Collapse of the Graft Prosecution
in San Francisco.

Why it is that the graft prosecution
in San Francisco, which started on its
mission with so brave a trumpeting,
has collapsed in futility and defeat, is
told by William Inglis in the conclud-
ing instalment of the notable series of
articles, For the Kingdom of Cali
fornia," which he has been contribut-
ing to Harper's Weekly. What" he
asks lin the issue of June 49,, lis the
conclusion of the whole natter
Messrs. Spreckles, Phelan and Heney
directed all their efforts to convicting
corporation officials of bribery. They
entered into an alliance with the
known grafters in an effort to bring
about these convictions. The grafters
in their eagerness to be good dogs
added to their original testimony and
so defeated the plan. There seems to
be at this moment no hope of ever
sending any of the San Francisco
boodlers to prison for their crimes"
So ends the great crusade.

KAW RIVER FLOODS
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAD
To MOVE AWAY.
Arnourdae, Suburb of Kansas City,
Mo-, Is Under Twelve Feet of Waited
Akaw and Missouri Rivers Are
More Than Thirty Feet Above~Low
Water Mark.

Kansas City, Mo. June 15.-The
great Kaw flood, that has almost
reached it's crest, drew hundreds of
thousands of sightseers today to the
BLUFFS overlooking the flooded bot
toms. The water has done all the
damage that is in its power The
railroad yards have been evacuated;
the packing houses and business
houses have vacated their lower floors;
Ar'mourdale has been entirely aban-
doned by its 10000 inhabitants and
water is running ~ feet deep in its
streets. There is no excitement any
where. the evicted people having
found shelter for themselves and their
movable property There is nothing
to do but wait for the tide to turn,
as the weather bureau says it will
tomorrow. The weather today was
generally fair in the Kaw watersheds,
with only a light shower here and
there, and this inspired a hopeful feel
ing + Weather Observer Conner says:
"a height not to exceed 81 feet will
lie reached in both rivers. The Mis-
souri, was at 80 feet at p. M, a rise
of three inches since noon and rising
hall an inch an hour. The Kaw was
29.4 feet above low water at p. m.
and rising at the same rate as the
Missouri. 1t is impossible to predict
the duration of the high water or
set am hour for it's recession, because
of the weather conditions. Rain is
still threatened in the north and west.
The Kaw is discharging freely into
the Missouri and is expected to fall
before the Missouri does. The Kaw
receded seven inches at Topeka last
night and continues to fall. AT st.
Joseph, the Missouri, which rose yes
terday. is now stationary.
The Union station is still above
water and will be safe if the rise is
10 inches more The railroads are all
moving trains with difficulty, being
Obliged to detour in every direction.
Officials and business men of both
Kansas cities express determination
to nut an end to floods. The great
city government, the United States
government and three counties and
numerous interstate railroads are in
VOWED During the past year the Uni
ted States government has declared
the Kaw a navigable stream. This
gives the war department power to
order the removal of the Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific low bridges
which obstruct the river and cause
the overflow of Armourdale and the
stDckyards at high water. Any scheme
ofraising the banks of the Kaw would
involve elevating the railroad tracks.
one measure proposed is to cut
canal across the point of land where
the Missouri makes its big bend to the
east This canal would carry the Mis-
souri, oveflow from a point above
Kansas City to point several miles
below. The city officials of the two
Kansas cities are cooperating in steps
to control the rivers.
