Kansas City, July 7.-Swollen by
unprecedented rains augmented by
melted snow from the mountains
brought down through the Missouri
valley, the rivers have left their
banks and caused damaging foods
in many parts OF Missouri and Kan

The results of the food up to q
late hour tonight were as follows:
Train No. 5, Of the Santa Fe Ry.
which left Kansas City at 9:25 for
Denver, met with a wreck at Pomona
Kansas. OF the ten coaches which
made up the train, four, a. baggage
car and three day coaches left the
track and rolled into eighteen feet
of water, according to a late report.
Two persons were injured. The
tracks spread which overturned the
coaches.
Pomona is almost completely inun-

at that place being three miles wide.

tonight with food and other supplies

Spokane, Wash, July Mayor
Nelson S. Pratt took advan- age of the
first opportunity that presented it.
self to make good his anti-electior
pledges to the working men in Spo-
kane, when he declared that con-
tractors doing city work must pay
laborers at the rate OF $2.75 a day
for eight hours work, as provided
by ordinance. Violations of this or
der will result in the cancellation Of
bonds, also shut out future contracts
Mayor Pratt. also advised the labor
unions that any 1aborer who has re-
ceived less than the city scale, can
haye redress by reporting the case
and he win recover the full amount
if the city has to take the matter to
the higher court. ..
Hhe has already compelled several
contractors, who had hired men at
$3.50 a day, to pay the difference to
them for the. time they were employ

tracts aggregating $350.000 for street
and sewer work and will give en-

less than that amount they are the
only ones who benefit, as the proper

Income Tax Discussed.
The income tax question including
the corporation tax provision and In

opportunity upon which they have SO

favor of the income tax as opposed to
the corporation tax. ~

Paris, July.7s-The Temps takes is:

yesterday in the chamber of deputies
during the debate on the naval in.
quiry commissions report, that Ger
many stood second among the nava!
powers
The Temps points out that second

The paper add that all English au'
thorities class the United States sec

Frnce fourth. Germany's advance is
explained by the fact that Germany
has been able to devote appropria'

and tambourines were used by two
militant suffragettes today whose
Englishztactics, adopted for the first
time in New York, met with such: a
boisterous reception in City Hall park
that riot nearly ensued. A meek
looking man pulled the hurdy-gurdy
while suffragettes, who wore badges
and streamers lettered "Votes for
women and carried copies of "The
Suffragette" tangled tambourines.
Within five minutes they were the
center of such a crush that they had
to shrek for the police. Not copy
of the official publication was sold
and there was no speeches. A squad
of police made way for the two
women to the nearest. subway sta
tion and home they gratefully hur-
ried. "

Chicago, ILL.,, July ELLA Gingles,
the 1S-year-old Irish lace maker, was
on the witness stand in Judge Bran
tano's court room all day today,
matching her wit and her innocent
face against the sharpness of lawyers
who we're trying to confound her.
All the afternoon the girl was
cross examined by States Attorney
R. j. Short on a story which she had
related in the morning of how she
was attacked by two women and a
man in a bath room of the yelling
ton hotel February 16. This story
was similar in many details to the
one she gave last Friday concerning
another attack upon her January 5.

ELLA GINGLES FACES court n

when Answering QUESTIONS

Mrs. Cecilia Kenyon and masked
man. figured as the cssailants, ac-
cording to Miss Gingles, in both the
cases.
Beyond a few fearful and trembling
moments, when some climax in the
dreadful tale of alleged degeneracy
was reached, the girl did not hesitate
in her answers. She faced the
precipice which the prosecutor drew
under her feet with simple denials-
She told of the apparently impos-
sible situations, seemingly with frank
ness.
The case probably will reach the
jury by Friday. The court room,
whose crowd of spectators had in
cluded many women, was cleared OF
all but those having direct interest
| in the case by the order of the pre-
siding Judge.

MAYORS RIGHTS QUESTIONED
Grand Forks Executive will Make
Test Case In Order to Prove If He
Is 1t or Not-Taylor Does Not Like
Street Commissioner and Would
Would Have Him Ousted.

Grand Forks, May Ga suit at
law to determine the authority of a
mayor of a city TO remove an ap-
pointive officer will be the outcome Of
the present jangle over the street
commissionership if the wishes of
Mayor Taylor are complied with.
Mayor Taylor instructed City Attor-
ney F. B. Feetham to make a pro-
position to the attorneys of NJ. e..
Durick to commence a suit to test
the power of the mayor, and this suit,
it is hoped, will be brought very soon
in order that the present mixup may
be done away with and that future
mixups of this kind may also be
averted.
1T is matter of principle with
me- said Mayor Taylor. IF it is
decided by the courts that l. as the
mayor of Grand Forks, have no right
to remove an officer when l deem it
to be to the best interests of the city
that such action be taken, and remain
within the pale of the law by so do
ing, will resign the Office. believe
that the mayor has certain rights
under the law and that he is not a
mere figurehead."

ton was simulated. Their failure
to be received, however, served as
pretext for springing the surprise
they had secretly prepared, and with
in an hour the transformation of the
association into national syndicate
was announced, and the statues OF
the organization officially filed in the
city hall.
It was what the French call coup
de theatre, but if it proves success
full it would be more like a coup
d'etat, as it is the purpose to make
the employees the masters and not the
servants of the state.
Statutes of organization follow
strictly in form those of the work.

the purpose to defend economic in
terests and give moral and material
support to members having differ
ences with the administration, and
further to seek the passage of econ
omic laws In the interest of the or

following lines of trades unions to
act as intermediary in such differ
ences, and members are forbidden
under penalty of losing their men,
bership to present issues which may
arise personally to the admjnistra-
ton.
The most serious aspect of the sit
uation is the fact that leaders in this
new movement ire undoubtedly hand
in glove with moving spirits of the
general federation of labor, which Is
now universally recognized as a
revolutionary organization and which
has for a long time been preparing
for a general strike to destroy "cap-
italism." The suppression of this
organization frequently has been con-
templated by the French government.
Fortunately a considerable proper
ton of the postal employees have had
their eyes opened to the revolution
ary venture on which the militants
propose to embark, and have broken
away. There are local servants
enough to form a working nucleus to
fight a general strike, which tonight
is considered matter Of hours.
The government, which claims to-
be prepared for any eventualities it
is conceded, must now act vigorously
or abdicate, and leaders of the move
ment apparently have no option but
to declare a strike the minute the
government makes hostile turn.
Up to late hour tonight the gov
eminent had given no signs as to
what move it intended to make in
answer to the postal employees action.
In the meantime the latter have not
been idle. The railroad sorters en-
dorsed the syndicate movement and
voted in favor of the strike.
A delegate of the Marseilles sec
ton informed the meeting that the
support of the seamen's union could
be counted upon. The matter OF the
registration of the status of the new
syndicate is now in the hands of at
torney general, to whom city hall
officials forward the document in reg
ular coarse, for an opinion as to
whether it complied with conditions
of the law of 1884.

his protests that he never sold pint
of whiskey in his life-these were the
experiences of RUDE Norton, general
agent for tle Equitable Insurance
company, working in the southern
half Of the state under General Agent

1t all came about as the result of
an indictment returned by the feder-
al grand jury at the recent session in
this city. A bench warrant was issu-
ed by the court and turned over to
the marshal for service. 1t happens
that government warrants give the
name of the accused only. He may
live in the northwestern or the south
western corner of the state-that's
up to the marshal to find out. He Is
known to live some where in North
Dakota. that is all.
Deputy Marshal Bert Wood was as
signed the duty of arresting Rube
Norton. 1t was known that man
named Rube Norton lived at Lidger-
wood, but his business or habits were
unknown to Deputy Wood. Arriving
at Lidgerwood early in the morning
he found his man.
There were loud protests, but they
made no impression on the stern Of
fcer of the law. A warrant was held
for the arrest of Rube Norton and
RUDE Norton had been located. The
accused man told about another RUDE
Norton living at Wahpeton, and it
was suggested that he was the man
wanted.
The story wass all right, it sounded
good, but Deputy Wood decided he
would take no chances, and loading

Humanftarius impulses in the per-

question has done service for "a years
in the fish hatchery, at Green Bay,

"Caleb, it appears from official re-
