| 200 DEATHS FROM FLOOD
Five Hunred Bodies Have Been Re.
covered at Monterey.

The number of dead in Satur.
days food at Monterey Mexico,
will reach 1900 and maybe more.
The river has fallen considerably and
while still high the danger is now over
1t stopped raining Sunday. Seventeen
and half inches of rainfall is the
official record during Friday, Satur.
day and Sunday.
Fully $4,000 people are homeless
and are being cared for by the city
government in the best way possible,
At noon 5000 people were given bread,
coffee and soup at the municipal Off
ces, but there are many more on the
south side of the river still out OF
reach of aid because the river is still
at flood stage. Conservative esti-
mates of the property loss place the
figures at s2O,OOO,OO0.
At least 500 bodies were recovered.
The greatest loss of life occurred Sat
urday morning between the hours of
and IL o'clock when the large build
ings on the south side of the river
commenced to crumble and fall. Many
of the houses had from 100 TO 200 peo-
pie on their roofs and all disappeared
in the flood
In one school building on the south
SIDE of the river 90 women and chill
dren were drowned when the walls of
the building collapsed. This was one
of the most pathetic incidents of the
food. The women and children had
run to the school for safety. but the
water having reached there, drove
them from room to room until they
were all clustered in one room. Two
priests were with them in the room
and while the priests were blessing
the women and children the walls fell
and the whole 90 were swallowed up in
the food.

IN HANDS OF RECEIVER
Building and Loan Association En-
barrassed by DefaIcation Of
Secretary

Embarrassed by the supposed defal-
cation of it's former secretary, William
l.. Ammou, district attorney of the
county, who died under mysterious
circumstances Wednesday, the Stan
dard Building and Loan association
at York. Pa, has gone into the
hands of a receiver. The defalca-
tion now is estimated at $4,000. The
embarrassment of the loan associa-
ton has created CONSERVATION among
its stockholders, who are largely wage
earners and who are paying ror their
homes through loans from the associ-
alton.

his penalization.
Curtiss only missed winning the
lap speed contest from Bleriot by q

The machine turned completely over
three times, landing with such force
that the petrol tank burst, and catch
ing fire from the hot motor, enveloped
the machine and pilot in flames.
The prix de raltitude, 10000 francs,
| to be awarded to the aeroplanist at
! tanning the highest altitude, was won

A brief resume of the condition of
the deep waterway work will show the
present status OF the project. The
sanitary district of Chicago has built
the deep waterway to Joliet, I'LL, forty
miles from Chicago, and 100000, coo
has thus far been expended on the
work. The entire route of the Lakes
to the Gulf deep waterway from Jol-
let to New ORLEANS, through the Des-
PLANES river, the Illinois and the Mis-
stssippi rivers, has been surveyed I'M
der direction of congress by govern
ment engineers, who have officially
reported that the building of the wa-
terWay is feasible Illinois has adopt
ed a constitutional amedment for a
bond issue of S2O.0OO.0OO to be spent
in constructing the deep waterways
southwark from Joliet. A bill is pend
ing in congress providing for the issue
by the government OF bonds to the
amount Of $4,000, 900, the money to be
spent in constructing this waterway
from the Great Lakes to the Gull. 1t
is the intention of the association to
ask the next congress TO pass a bill
providing definitely that the govern
ment undertake the construction CT
this work from the point where tie
Illinois work will end to the Gulf CT
Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2S.-Prest-
dent Taft's great fleet is today speed
ing down the river toword VicksbuTgr
where he will be greeted by q great
concourse of the people OF Mississippi
and Louisiana. The historic old city,
the scene of SO many thrilling Incl
dents of the Civil war, will give a
hearty welcome to the chief executive
OF the nation. The President will &c
liver an address and visit the Nation
al Cemetery and Military Park. Both
NacheZ and Baton Rouge will enter
tain the President tomorrow, and on
| Saturday he will reach this city. :.
New Orleans will do itself proud in
its greeting to the President, the gov
errors and other officials and the del
egateS to the Lakes-to.tha-Gulf Deep
Waterways Convention taking part.
Already the streets have assumed a
festal attire and the advance guard
Of the waterways convention are ar
irving at the hotels.
The arrival of the fleet Saturday
morning will be the signal for a thun-
derous salute. The President will adj
dress the waterways convention on
Saturday, and score Of other men
distinguished in all walks of life will
add their testimony to the general de-
mand for the Improvement of the ma
TONS greatest waterway.
The association that will continue
the discussion of these important
questions was organized in 1900 by
the people of the Mississippi valley,
who sent LOO delegates to a conven-
ton that was held at st. Louis. The
next convention was held in 1907 at
Memphis. President Roosevelt was
so much interested in that convention
that he went to St. Louis and thence,
as the guest Of the association, to
Memphis, where he addressed the
convention. At that time President
Roosevelt declared to the seventeen
governors who accompanied him that
the United States tplild the great wa
terway by issuing bonds If necessary.
The third convention of the asSo-
citation was held In Chicago in 1908.
Three thousand five hundred and
seventeen delegates were present. Mr..
Taft was there, and in an address he
said that the project should, in his
opinion, be treated as the government
had treated the Panama canal, and
that provision should be made by
bonds for the setting aside of a fund
sufficient to compete 1t as rapidly as
possible. William J. Bryan also spoke
ON the Importance OF the project and
