LOW PORTIONS OF KANSAS CITY
FLOODED BY WATER FROM
MISSOURI AND. KAW.
TWO LOW RAILROAD BRIDGES IN DANGER
ArmourdaIe and Argentine In Kansas
Are Under Water and Low Land on
Missouri Side Misunderstanding
Houses Are All Shut Down-Rivers
Probably Will Fall From Now On.

Kansas City, June 1.-THE Kaw
river at 8 o'clock a. m. Thursday
stood at 1885 feet above low water
mark at the Swift gauge. This is a
higher point than reached by the Kaw
in 1904. The gauge is under water
and no reading was taken later.
The Kaw has flooded Armourdale,
Argentine and parts of the west bot
toms. 1t is falling above Kansas City
but rises are reported in some of its
tributaries.
The Missouri is also rising at Kan
sas City. At ten o'clock 1t stood at
28.4 feet. 1t is rising here at the rate
Of one-tenth of a foot an hour and is
rising above Kansas City. The
weather bureau predicts the crest of
the Missouri will reach Kansas City
Thursday morning.
Wednesday morning the water
broke over a mile of the Kaw river
bank south of Armourdale. 1t flowed
rapidly north into the city where the
land Is lower than the river bank.
From that time on the rise was steady
over the entire eastern part OF the
city. By noon the water was five feet
deep at Seventh street and Kansas
avenue. The expanse of water reached
from the bluffs on the south side of
the Kaw across to the Union Pacific
tracks, and from Twelfth street on the
west all the way down to the mouth.
All of the. packing plants on the west
bank of the Kaw are surrounded by
water. On Usage avenue it was four
feet deep.
Swift & Co.'s plant was approached
by the water from the south and the
north. The dam formed by the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Union Pacific
bridges forced the river over the bank
to the north of the plant. The water
filed the basement.
Morris & Co.'S plant is surrounded.
This plant, however, has been built
since the 1903 flood. The foundations
are high and unless the river rises five
more feet the cellars will not be en-
tered.
None of the packers were filling or
ders Wednesday. The only men at
work in the plants are those manipu-
lating the pumps.
Some of the bridges across the Kaw
are in danger because Of the terrific |
pounding against the Orders by mil
lions Of tons Of water and heavy drift
wood

st. Genevieve, Mo-, June 12.-Felix

Boy browns In kaw Flood.
Topeka, Kan, June 14.-Roy Skibbe'
u years old, was drowned in Martins
creek Friday morning. This is the
first casualty Of the Kaw river flood
here. Four boys were rowing up and
down the edge Of the stream when
the current caught the boat and cap
sized it. Neighbors heard the cries
and men took three boys from the
river, but it was impossible to save
Skibbe.

year! The danger lies In more rain,
but l look for dry skies on the Kan
sas watershed Saturday night, and
Sunday.
III the rains continue there is dan
ger of a rise that may rival the high
the high waters Of 1903"
The Kaw river rose four and one
half feet at Topeka Friday and has
gone 81 feet above flood stage. This
rise here, meeting the continued rise
in the Missouri river, will back up
the Kaw and send the water two feet
above the stage of Thursday after
noon, throwing the water over pro,
baby the entire area Of the West bot
tomse, except the higher ground be-
tween Santa Fe street and the blum
along Union and st. Louis avenues.
It will reach the depot platform
II It does not cover the floor Of the
depot waiting room. The water pro-
baby will cover the railroads yards
and the wholesale implement dis
trict south of the depot and back up
into Rosedale for considerable dis
lance.
In Armourdale 1t will cover a large
area of the high ground which was
not touched by the high water Of
Thursday afternoon.
In the East bottoms the streets Will
be covered by two to three feet Of
water.
This rise may back up the Blue
river in Sheffield and cover the rail-
road approaches to the Milwaukee
bridge to the extent of cutting on
train service over that bridge.
The storm which swept over this
section of the country was very severe.
In Kansas City the rainfall was 2.15
inches. The immediate effect of 1t
was to cause a rise in the Kaw river
of about two inches. The Kaw had
been going down slowly until that
time and the Missouri was stationary,
but soon after the rain began both
rivers began to rise slowly. The Mis-
souri, at the Hannibal bridge at 2:3O
o'clock registered 2S.2 on the gauge
and rose to 28.3 and continued to rise.
The Kaw river rose a foot tbetween
2:30 and 8 o'clock.

Topeka, June 1.-THE Kaw river

points.

st. Joseph, NO., June 12.-With the
stage of the river at 1915 the river is
half a foot higher than the record
last year and within less than foot
Of the 1908 record. 1t is four feet
above the danger line. Lowlands are
flooded and farmers are moving out.
Train service is crippled, especially on
the valley lines. BY the breaking Of
the natural gas pipe line from south
ern Kansas at Lawrence, Kan, St.
Joseph's supply was shut on and thou
sands went without supper Wednesday
night or ate cold lunch. Bakers sold
their stocks early in the evening.
Kansas City, June 1.-THE food
here has reached its crest and the wa
tiers are very slowly falling. The
weather observer believes that In II
hours a general fan will set IN. The
missouri and Kansas rivers at points
north and west are falling rapidly.
Occupants Of buildings inundated are
preparing to follow the recedlng wa
teri, and resume business az once.
Train service is being resumed. and a

THE FOUL MURDERER
AND BRIBER
SCORED
Especial to The sen.inel.)

Dublin, April 6.-Bishop O'Dea.
Roman Catholic bishop of Clonfert,
in a Lenten pastoral at Loughrea, re-
fers to the sin of murder, and says:
Thank God this awful crime is rare
in Ireland. | feel however that l
ought not in this connection pass
over in silence some most painful in
cidents that have recently occurred
m this diocese. There have been
instances. | am ashamed to state, in
which men, and even women, have
been fired at by towards from be-
hind hedges. Houses have been fired
into at night. Occasionally there
have been threats of murder or in
elements to it, with illusions of ap-
proval more or less yelled to deeds
of blood now happily past. God for
bid l should accuse more than a very
few of being capable of these crimes,
or of being in sympathy with them;
nor do l imply that they have always
been committed by those to whom
they have been imputed.
Murder Before God.
Even though no life is actually
lost, a man is nevertheless a muir
derer before God if he knowingly
endangers life. Suppose, then, you
fire at another. Do you by firing at
him endanger his life? If you do,
how can you deny there is usually
danger? You certainly contradicted
the guilt of murder before God, even
though you had no desire to kill and
actually did no harm whatever.
Again, If you fire into a house, are
sure there is no danger to life? If
you are not sure you are a murderer
in the eyes of God. Secondly. though
you make perfectly sure when you
fire at another, or into his house.
that there is no danger whatever to
life, nor even to limb, and though
your sole object in firing be to
frighten, nevertheless by firing you
are guilty beyond doubt of a mortal
sin, and of a mortal sin, too, of ex-
ceptional malice. And why? Be
cause if you fire at another, or into
his house, your action implies clear
threat of murder, or of grave per-
sonal violence, which God has for
bidden under pain of mortal sin; and
because also to fire at a man or into
his house is a grievous violation OIL

liberty of the community"

to bribery and says: "If a member
of "A public board votes for bad or
dishonest candidate, or for a candi-
date clearly less worthy than an
other, he does wrong not only to
the best candidate, but also to the
community, which has a right to the
service of the best candidate, and he
will be answerable before God for
the neglect, the injustice, want of
skill. or inferior service of the can

dishonorably and sinfully by taking
a bribe. but he robs the ratepayers
