Sioux city, Ia, July 1a--One thou
sand people were drives from their
homes and many thousands OF dollars
we OF damage was done by flood
.SSSo oday in Perry creek. small
o an which separates the east and
) ,sst sides OF Sioux City. The food
was the worst in the city's history.
There were many narrow escapes but
no lives have been reported lost. A
cloudburst north of Sioux City is be-
lieved to have been the cause.
The hGod seemed to have reached its
crest at 8 a. m. and the worst is be-
lieved to be over. 1t is estimated that
in the densely populated district along
the creek 500 homes are surrounded by
water. The plant of the Sioux City
Traction Co. was flooded. No cars are
running and thousands were compelled
to walk.
Water Fills the Streets.
In the wholesale district near the
Missouri river front water from the
creek ran along the streets and flooded
cellars, causing a heavy loss. At
Fourth and Water streets, there was
a foot of water on the first floors Of
the stores.
Gas mains on the west side were
broken by the flood and thousands Of
people were forced to eat cold break
fasts.

VALIDITY OF BANKRUPTCY PRO-
cEEDINGs CONSIDERED IN u. S.

Pittsburg, Pa. July 1O.-Obiections
to the discharge in bankruptcy of
Harry Kendall Thaw were riled in the
United States district court today by
J. G. Graham OF this city, who claims
to be creditor OF the bankrupt.
For the first time during the bank

The sanity of Thaw is raised, it being
alleged that he was insane at the time
of the fling Of the petition and that
he Is insane now. FOR this reason.
Ii is averreo. the petition should have
Itever been considered by the court.
Hithrtu the United States court had
not held the question of the validity Of
bankruptcy proceedings under con-
sideration. The question Of sanity will
probably now come up before Judge
Charles p. Orr for his decision. The
time in which to object to the dis
charge Of Thaw expires today and the
objections filed came as surprise.
Before Referee Again.
BY recent order or the court,
Ths.w was granted leave to file his
petition of dlschir ge without having
personally appeared before a meeting
OF his creditors. Had the objection not
been tilcd the bankrupt would, in all
probability have been released from
bankruptcy today. In the event that
the objection is sustained the entire
matter will again go before Referee in

Concord, N. H., July 10.-By an
unanimous vote Of the board of trus-
tees. Prof. Ernest Fox Nichols was
chosen president OF Dartmouth college
to succeed DIR. william Tucker, who
resigned May IL, 1907, on account Of
Ill health.
Professor Nichols, although not
graduate OF Dartmouth college. is an
honorary alumnus of the institution,
having been given the degree OF doctor
of science in 1908. From 1898 to 1908
he was at the head OF the department
OF physics Of Dartmouth. His work as
a member of the faculty brought dis
tinction to the college and TO him
self. During his work at Dartmouth
he made the first measurements Of
heat received from several OF the
brighter stars and planets by using
his own radiometer. THESE expert
ments are admittedly the most sem
sitive and delicate measurements Of
heat which have ever been made.
Professor Nichols, working with
Prof. Gordon F. Hull, in 1901 discov-
cred the pressure of a beam Of light
This discovery and the difficult and
accurate measurements of the new
force won world wide recognition for
both men.
In 1903 Professor Nichols was called
to the chair of experimental physics
in Columbia university, where he has
since remained
The selection of Professor Nichols
as the tenth president of Dartmouth
was the result OF over two years Of
assiduous effort on the part OF the
trustees to find man to succeed Pres
ident Tucker who would be acceptable
to the alumni and undergraduates and
at the same time fulfill the traditional
requirements OF the institution.

the student asked that he be allowed
to see this patient first. as he ap.
peared the most promising for inves-

where the lunatic was confined and
the following conversation ensued:
Student-Are you the Deity?
Luuatic-From the everlasting unto
everlasting l am he.
Student-Well, I've been looking for
you for a long time. I have a ques-
ton to ask you. How do you reconcile
the doctrines of predestination and

The lunatic drew himself up to his
full height and giving the medico a
scornful glance, replied: MY dear sir.
