MADE DAUGHTERS FRIENDS
Gordon's Speech Works Wonders in
Washington.

Washington.-Col. James Gordon, the
venerable retiring United States sena-
tor from Mississippi, heard a gratifying
piece of news Friday when he was in
formed that his s'loveone-another" sd-
dress had accomplished an entirely I'M
looked-for but nevertheless pleasing re-
suit.
Until that speech of amity and frater-
nalism, there was no mingling upon any
occasion of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy and the Daughters of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Washington. 1t
is different now. Ten days ago the vari-
GUS chapters of the Daughters of the
Confederacy opened a bazaar, the proceeds
of which are to be devoted to the assist
ance of distressed ex-Confederate sol
diers and their families. Until Col. Cor
don's speech in the senate the Daughters
of the Grand Army of the Republic gave
no support or encouragement to the III
dertaking, but since Col. Gordon's speech
the Grand Army clans have been liberal
patrons of the bazaar, some OF them go
ing SONAR as to tender their services to-
ward making the enterprise a big finan
oinl success.

BIG FLOOD AT CINCINNATI
Heavy Rains at Pittsburg and in
Ohio and West Virginia.

Cincinnati, GA stage of So feet in
the Ohio river, which will bring the
water up into the Union Central station,
put most of the railroad yards of Gin
cinnati under water, seriously handicap
ping the train schedules, besides doing
many thousands of dollars in damage
to other businesses in this city, is now
threatened. Throughout all the bot
toms of Cincinnati, where are located
the major part of the city's biggest
wholesale companies, all attention has
been directed to getting their goods into
safety.
Heavy rains, which are reported from
Pittsburg, Northeastern Ohio and West
Virginia, show that the water will con-
tinue to rise for at least 4S hours more.
From many points up and down the
river are reported increasing gains IN
the volume of water. At Portsmouth,
for instance, the river has passed the
danger mark, and almost half that town
is flooded. At Parkersburg, W. Va, and
Marietta, O., where the Kanawah and
Muskingum rivers enter the Ohio, the
merchants have practically all been
flooded out of their bushes and homes.

Revenue Department.

Austin, Tex.-There are 5000 cor
porations in Texas amenable to the fed
eral law passed last year requiring them
to file on or before March l of the pres
ent year inventory of property earnings,
profits, ETC., with a view of making the
same subject to a federal corporation
tax. In compliance with this law, $500
have filed their report with the federal
revenue department up to midnight on
Tuesday. The missing ones are sup
posed to be defunct corporations whose
names have not been taken off old state
tax rolls. 1t is not known how many
of these corporations will have to pan
taxes on earnings of over $4,000, as rel
ports are government secrets. 1t is es1
timated, however, that more than hall
of the corporations will have to PAY
some tax, as at least that numbe have
net earnings in excess of that figure.

There have not been any more soldiers
sent here, as they were not necessary.
AS for soldiers being sent from here,
only about 40 were sent to Naco 10
days ago, and since then no more have
been sent. Three soldiers went to
Naco yesterday from Nogales, to re-
turn TO their company, and that start
ed another story about additional SOL
diers being sent to the border town
There have been no soldiers moved
to Augua Prieta, opposite Douglas, as
reported, unless they used aeroplanes
as trains from this section have not
carried any.
The town is strictly Cd its good be-
havior and there has not been any act
committed which could be interpret
ed to mean trouble on a rebellious
scale
The officers are watching every
move of known anti-Diaz men and so
far nothing suspicious has been seen
in their actions.
There is no truth in the rumor that
Mexicans are not permitted to cross
the international boundary line to the
states from here They can go and
