RESOLUTION
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TAKES DECISIVE STEP.
No Fear Congressman Will Retaliate
for Activity in Behalf Of
Appropriation.

Resolved. That the directors of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce are
heartily in favor of childrens play
grounds, and regret exceedingly that the
item OF 1900 for maintenance, super
vision and supply was eliminated from
the District appropriation bill. and hon
estly hope that the item may be restored
on the half and half basis, provided it
does not jeopardize other items in said
BILL
With the unanimous adoption of this
resolution at the meeting last night of
the board Of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce, a telling blow was struck in
the battle which will be waged by the
members of the business community and
by citizens generally who are friends of
the Fairgrounds. to include an adequate
provision for the Fairgrounds in the Dis
trfct appropriation bill before that meas
ure becomes law. 1t has been stated
that the legislators on Capitol Hill would
resent a too strenuous insistence upon the
Fairgrounds item after the joint commit
tee. which was considering the District
appropriation bill, had eliminated the
seventeen-thousand-d provision, and
that this resentment might take such
form that other items In the District bill
would suffer.
Commissioners at Meeting.
FRIENDS or the Fairgrounds did not hes
itate to declare this morning that they
had been assured that any activity on
their part would not be followed by re-
taliatory tactics on the part OF members
of the House or the Senate
A meeting of the workers in the Play
grounds Association and OF the friends
OF the movement was held yesterday att
ernoon at the Chamber of Commerce
Commissioners Johnston and Judson were
present, and both stated their fears that
the District bill as a whole might suffer
II the Fairgrounds workers made an issue
OF their disallowed appropriation before
the appropriations committee or else
where in Congress before the local finan-
cial measure has gone to final passage.

that 1t cannot be estimated. 1t will :e-
quire careful handling. however. or else
1t might result In great harm. The need
of practical and upright men to conduct
such an institution IL manifest. The
result of the proposed foundation will
be looked rward to with great interest"
Hint From Director Newell.
F. H. Newell. head Of the United States
reclamation service, said he thought the
proposed Rockefeller foundation was an
excellent thing.
I'VE would like to have a few millions
Of such Va fund to aid in the work Of re-
claiming the arid lands and working out
irrigation Projects" said Mr.. Newell.
smiling. Undoubtedly q large sum of
money placed In the hands Of competent
men, to be expended in the advancement
Of educationN and the prevention OF suffer-
Ing, could do great deal Of good. Rookie
Teller has already given 100000 to aid
in discriminating the hookworm, or lazy
bug. In the south. and presume, that he
intends to extend the work of preventing
suffering in other fields by his proposed

TO SAVE LEVEE.
PEOPLE OF EVANSVILLE TERRI
FLED AT FLOOD PROSPECTS.
Alarm in the Wyoming Valley.
Wilkesbarre Families Forced
to Leave Their Homes.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March IA
steady rise of the water in the Muskin-
gum river at GAINESVILLE and more than
200 additional families forced to vacate
their homes featured the Ohio flood sit
uation today.
At Warren. where a reservoir formed
by the flooded Mahoning river and COW
ering almost twenty square miles threat
ened that city. the greatest danger ap-
pears to have passed. The huge volume
of water Is being held by an ice jam
and this is being broken up gradually,
letting the flood water escape without a
damaging rush.
At Youngstown many factories still are
idle, and in Fremont and Mechanicsburg
the water is high. but there appears to
be no added dangers.
Many small towns and farming sections
are reported to be under several feet Of
water. but details are lacking. The loss
so far has been to property rather than
to life. as the high water came on grad
ually and with ample warning.
Fighting to Save the Levee.
People at GAINESVILLE are terrified at the
fear that the levee will break and the
water rush down on the western part Of
the city. Workmen are placing sand
bags on the levee and heavy timbers are
added In hope Of saving 1t. Small breaks
at various parts of the levee today kept
the laborers busy. special detachment
OF the police force Is on duty especially
to watch and give the alarm II the levee
breaks.
Four more inches Of water it is claimed.
will close local traffic upon all of the
eight railroads.

day passed down the rapidly moving

Of water running in the river now Is
indicated by small ice and debris.
Many families in the lower end OF the
city became alarmed at the rise of the
water today and vacated their homes.
Residents Of Plymouth living in low
