liz WOMEN ARRESTED
LAST NIGHT APPEAR
IN POLICE COURT

London, June 30.--One hundred
and twelve women were arrested last
night after exciting scenes in parlia-
ment square in connection with a
vain attempt of the m1utant suffra-
gettes to obtain access to Premier
Asquith. They were brought up in
the Bow Street police station today.
A large crowd of women friends of
the prisoners were present in court.
After all the seats were taken the
others sat on the floor at the expense
or their SILK and satin skirts. Many
brought with them their lunch and
the police court looked like a picnic
was in progress inside it's walls.
All the cases were adjourned I'M
til July 8. The women we're reIeas-
ed on their own recognizance.

Years-More Than Three Million
Religious Workers Represented in
the AssembIage at ST. Paul.

st. Paul-By far the largest con.
vention in the twenty-eight years Of
history of Christian Endeavor move.
ment and one of the greatest gather
ipgs of religious folk ever held in the
United States is the convention of En-.
deavorers which has begun in this
city. Every state and territory of
the Union and many foreign countries
are represented among the $4,000 Wis
itors to st. Paul. The city is filed
to overfowing with the delegates to
the convention and other visitors, and
those who failed to secure aceomu1c-
dations in advance are housed in a
tent city, near the new capitol. The
convention Will last until July Il.
On the program are representatives
from Mexico, Alaska, China, Japan,
Wales, England, Germany and many
other foreign countries, while Canada,
from far st. Johns to northernmest
Saskatchewan and western British
Columbia, is represented by hundreds
OF delegates. The membership Of tho
society represented at the convention
now exceeds 100000.
The program is the strongest ever
presented at an international Chris
tian Endeavor convention.
There will be monster parade and
great patriotic service at the capitol
as one feature of the convention. The
educational exhibit Of progress along
civic ebpfo1 apd raECiOuu IipAu NTH
lectures by experts, is one of the
most valuable features.
A chorus Of 700 trained voices will
lead all the singing and will be direc-
ted by che most famous Endeavor
chorus leaders in the world. There
will be an international campfire,
with speakers from every country in
the world where Christian missions

TO BE AN ATHLETE. 1t is of no consequence
whether he can play hockey not.
The modern world is an exacting one, and the
things it exacts are mostly INTELLECTUAL. The
modern world will demand from the college boy a
quick comprehension of things which he can never
see, and if he has merely played baseball, played
football or rowed in a crew he must BEGIN TO
GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN
THE MODERN WORLD Is GOVERNED BY IN
TELLECTUAL POWER. THE ONLY MAN WHO Is

WHO is MASTER OF THINGS He NEVER SAW.

WEST is FLOODED
Thirteen Lives Reported LOST
In Northern Missouri.
GREAT PROPERTY LOSS
High Waters in Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa, Illinois and Colorado are
Causing Immenee Damage to Crops
and Claiming Many Lives.

Kansas City-Thirteen lives have
been lost and it is feared that many
more persons will be drowned or
starved to death as a result of the
floods which are sweeping over north
ern Missouri.
The flood extends through Kansas
and Nebraska and a part of Colora-
do. Train service has been Gemor-
allied in Nebraska and Kansas on ac-
count Of washouts, and in Colorado
the landslides and floods and noun
tain torrents have caused train sched-
ules to be abandoned and hundreds
of eastern persons are marooned in
the state.
Hundreds of thousands OF acres OF
wheat and corn have been destroyed.
Iowa and Illinois are flooded also,
though the damage in these states is
not so great as it is in Missouri and
Kansas.
Gallatin, Mo-, reports six railroad
section men missing. They had been
sent to keep driftwood from the
Grand river bridge and were sup
posed to have been caught in the
wild rush of waters and drowned.
Conditions improved.
Kansas City-An streams in this
section are either falling or have be-
come stationary and there are no in
dications of rains. Train service has
been resumed but schedules are far
from being adhered to. No addition
al loss Of life has been reported.
All the flooded sections report i'm
proved conditions and fears of fur
ther food damage have been dissi-
pated.
