FRENCH FLOOD LOSSES
OVER S2O0,OOO,0O0
Situation Caused by the DeIuge
Grows Worse, New Storm
Adding to Disaster.
PLANS FOR RELIEF IN PARIS.
Military Officials Are to Be in Charge
of Different Sections of the
Stricken Metropolis.

Premier BRAND and Finance Minis
ter Cookery, after a consultation in
Paris, France, estimated that the food
losses would exceed 100000, 600. Paris
has been divided into five sections,
each in charge of a military command
er, who will control the relief and res
cue work. The, Seine continued to rise
and the situation was growing worse
hourly.
A large portion of France is under
water and chaos is the order through
out the flooded districts. Fears of out
breaks of epidemics are entertained,
and the situation is looked upon as
one of the greatest gravity. While the
loss of life thus far has been small
the property losses are colossal An
estimate of the damage, owing to the
widespread confusion, is impossible.
The calamity is national.
There are reports of improvement in
a few provinces, but others are cut off
from communication. Many towns and
villages are completely isolated.
The floods throughout the country
continue their devastation, but Paris
and vicinity seem to be the worst hit
OF all the affected districts. The city
faces a complete tie-up and damage

three-quarters of an inch in hour.

Miners Leaders Determined to Ask
Increase of Ten Per Cent.

Stand or fall together" was the
sentiment of the convention of the

it closed discussion in Indianapolis
of the prospective strike of the btu
minous coal miners. Union officials
declared that the bituminous miners
are determined to demand an increase
of wages of 10 per cent or more, that
no one district organization shall sign
the uniform wage contract till all dis
tricts shall sign, and if strike is
inevitable in one or more districts, all
shall strike Francis Feehan, presi-
dent of the Western Pennsylvania dis
trict, said his conviction was that the
organization should issue an ultima
tum that a strike in all districts will
be called on April 1 if an increase of
wages of more than 10 per cent be
not given, to go into effect on that
date

THE FOOD BOYCOTT.
Strikes Against High Prices Spread
ing to MANY Places.


The Strike" on the part of the in
dignant people against the outrageous
prices which are demanded for food is
spreading from city to city and is be-
ing hailed with enthusiasm.
More than $4,000 heads of families
representing fully 100000 individ-
uals) in Cleveland, Ohio, have signed
an agreement not to eat meat for thir-
" days An immediate result has been
the closing of several meat markets
and reduction in the price of meat,
especially pork and veal The strike"
IS spreading to Akron, Toledo and 9TH
er nearby cities. Meat orders in CIeve-
land restaurants have fallen off fully
so per cent. Union workmen in Omaha
to the number of over 5000 have
agreed to eat no meat for thirty DAYS,
and 1t is expected the number will
reach $4,000. In Pittsburg the Iron
City Trades Council has asked more
than 100000 working people in that
and nearby communities to abstain
from meat for sixty days. Three hun
dred families in Naugatuck and Phoe-
nix, Conn, have joined a boycott
against butter.
The assertion made by the packers
that the high price of meat is due to
scarcity of cattle does not seem to be
borne out by the facts. A. D. Melvin,
chief of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try at Washington, presents figures
which show that more cattle, calves
and sheep are being sent to the stock
yards now than were being marketed
for the corresponding period a year
ago. In November, 1908, Chicago pack
ers slaughtered 1912 cattle, while
in November, 1909, the number was
175,929, an increase of 1861 beeves
during a period of so-called scarcity.
At East st. Louis the receipts of cat
tie for the entire year 1909 exceeded

Grating in speed the strike of the in
dignant consumers against the out
rageous prices of food necessaries

and his nephew, Chrisman Swope, and
soTeshadowing arrests to be made i'm
mediately, a cipher message was sent
the other day to Attorney John G.
Paxton at Kansas City by Dr.. Lud-
wig Hektoen Immediately upon the
completion of the exhaustive analysis
made by Dr.. Hektoen, DR.. Walter
Haines and Dr.. Victor c. Vaughan, of
Chicago.
Mr.. Paxton, executor of the Swope
estate, agreed with Dr.. Hektoen upon
a code that was to be used in sending
messages in the event evidence of
murder was found in the stomachs of
Colonel Swope and his nephew. The
code word to be used in the event of
the discovery of poison was Positive"
and that was the word put on the
wire. The precaution was taken to
prevent a leak" and warning to the
suspects.
The finding of poison was essential
to the making of specific charges.
This was demanded by the prosecuting
attorney. The alleged incubation of
eight members of the Swope family
with typhoid will be introduced at the
trial as circumstantial or corrobora-
tive evidence to show the existence of
plot to exterminate the remaining
heirs to the SwOpe millions.

Business activity again presents a
satisfactory volume, there being sub

banks and increasing production and
distribution in the leading industries.
With the improving weather transpor-
tation extends and more prompt de-
liveries of commodities make easier
collections at western points.
The January clearance sales here
and in the country have been unusu-
ally successful, low temperatures in
ducing much buying of winter apparel
and other necessaries, and there now
is a gratifying depletion of general
merchandise to encourage free buying
of spring and summer lines. Buyers
arrived in large numbers and their
operations stimulated the markets for
dry goods, woolens, clothing, footwear,
mems furnishings, furniture and food
products. The markets for raw sup
plies remain active, with prices firm
in lumber, metals and wool Offerings
of hides and leather are promptly alb
sorbed without much variation in val
ues.
