FLOODS IN COLORADO
REPORT WAS RECETvEn
 IN PUEBLO.
River Rushes Through Royal Gorge. Doing Great Damage to Property -RailrOad Traffic is
 Impaired.

Pueblo. Coio.. Aug, 1S-This city was aroused at o'clock thIs morn ing by flood warnings from the upper Arkansas valley and within an hour 5000 persons were upon the streets removing their household effects out of the danger zone
 The work proved needless. for al- though the river rose seven feet above normal there was no flood in the i'm mediate vicinity of this city. Great damage was reported, however. in the neighborhood of Canon City. forty miles from here. where the Arkansss overflowed its banks and a steel bridge was washed away.
 In Royal Gorge the river was ra. ported to have risen twenty feet. wash ing out several miles of track on the Denver and Rio Grande Telegranb and telephone communicati tion with tba upper valley was cut off and detaiIs were lacking
 All trains on the Denver and Bio Grande bound for the west were heid in Pueblo last night and no trains fror1 the West could get through this morn Ing.
 A sensational report that Howard a village eight miles to the west oS Pueblo. had been destroyed. received here this morning. proved entirely mn founded.

 Based on the Roosevelt poIicies'' Mir Pinchot's address dwelt. on conser- vation as a practical business policy.

Teils Callers He Expects Battle Will Be Fought in Courts to En- force New Act of
 Congress.

Beverly, Mass, Aug 1s.-Reports which are reaching Beverly daily from Washington and New York that the constitutionaiity of the new corpora ton tax is to be tested just as soon as an effort is masde to collect 1t, have not disturbed the President in the least as he laughingly told number of callers at the Taft cottage today. The tests and protests. the President declared. were all anticipated and no threats or the corporation lawyers now cause the chief magistrate any alarm.
 Mir. Taft Is thoroughly convinced that the tax wMl stand any test that may be applied to 1t. Attorney Gen. eral wickersham. a corporation law yer of note. and Senator Root. who col iaborated on the corporation tax pro- vision of the tariff. believe 1t will sur vive any attempt to nuilify 1t.
 MT. Taft views the prospect of a ngl1t in court over the tax in hts char acteristically philosophical frame or mind. He said today that the test cases were but natural and that no un- usual or new system of taxation had ever been submitted to without some sort of fight.
 Attorney General wickersham is coming to see the President Friday at- ternoon to go over wits him few or the preliminaries in the plan for the re-orRanization of the duties of the Interstate Commerce Commission. the amendment of the antitrust law ana bringing interstate corporations more definitely under the control Of one branch of the government MT.
