TRENCH FLOODS ARE RECED|NG
PROSPECT OF RELIEF SOON IN
FRENCH CAPITAL. Is
American are Urged to Remain In the
City BY United States
CONSUL.

Paris, Jan. 31.-The fall in the Seine
IS very noticeable in several of the
streets which are no longer navigable.
On the other hand the rising of the
water in the sewers continues. There
is a considerable quantity of water
now in the moulding chamber of the
Louvre museum.
In the Ninth reimbursement, a
series of powerful pumps was installed
in order to remove the water from
several banks, but the residents of
that section, who feared that this
would make conditions in their own
cellars worse, gathered in force and
slashed the hose with knives. They
were finally driven off by the police.
That Americans are safer in Paris
than they would be if they attempted
to leave the city, is the advice given
by CONSUL General Mason in response
to many inquiries received by him
through the state department.
In cablegram received by the Sec
rotary of state, Mr.. Mason suggests
that Americans should remain in Paris
until conditions become settled.
He has found no instance in which
any American has suffered seriously
from the effects of the flood.
While the most imminent peril is
past, there is still danger ahead, for
the fall of the Seine since Saturday
morning has only measured 151a inch
eS.
At this rate it would require a fort
night for the river to reach it's normal
level.
Fortunately, tidings from the flooded
sections above Paris give hope of a
more rapid subsidence.
In the meantime the situation shows
little Improvement. Indeed the raw
ages of the flood within the city actual
ly seemed to increase.
The water was higher in some Of
the streets while the situation at the
inundated towns between Paris and
st. German was distinctly grayer.
A stream of water, IL feet deep, was
rushing through Gennevilliers and
Colonies, making the work of rescue
more difficult even than Saturday.
Hundreds are reported without food
or shelter, and all day an army of
rescuers worked relentlessly, bringing
succor to the distressed and distribut-
Ing provisions by boats to the thou
Sands who refused to quit their homes.
Within the city itself great throngs
of sightseers, in the bright sunshine,
besides the cordons of troops which
fringed the flooded districts, or climb
ed to points of vantage, from which
they could survey the wide vistas of
water stretching off in every direction

DTATE INSPECTOR HOEY De.
CLAREs THAT sTEEDs ARE
KILLED FOR HUMAN FOOD.
DELlCACY IN FREE LUNCH MENUS
Dearders Are Eating "Meat" in Saus
ages, Roast and Steak, Pur-
chased at Six Cents
Pound.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-In an official re-
port to the Illinois state food commits
sion, State Inspector Hoey declares
that horses are being slaughtered by
the wholesale in Chicago and the meat
is being sold and distributed for hui.
man consumption.
The meat, he says, is being cut into
being sold to free lunch vendors in
Chicago and to some farming districts
and mining camps where foreign min.
ers are employed.
Heretofore, says the report, it was
the general belief that all horse meat
prepared in Chicago was for shipment
to Copenhagen, Denmark, and the fact
that it is being put up for home con-
sumption is looked upon as necessitat-
ing a new state law regulating the
killing of horses.
All the horse killing establishments,
1t was reported, were small slaughter
ing houses operated in obscure parts
Of the city. In one place it was found
Is horses week were killed. The
product of this place went to points
In Wisconsin and Illinois. At another
place castings for sausages were found,
but the proprietor declared they were
for shipment to Denmark.
Most of our meat goes there" he
said. Denmark is the best horse meat
market in the world"
Inquiry in a cheap boarding house
district showed that meat was pur.
chased at 6 cents pound, when the
butchers in the neighborhood were
asking cents for their cheapest meat.
A rigid investigation of conditions
Is recommended in the inspectors re-
port.

RECOVERY OF BODIES OF VICTIMS
OF RECENT DISASTER TO
BE UNDERTAKEN.
240 BODIES ARE STILL ENTOMBED
Proposal to Destroy Them by Chem
ioaIs Has Been Authoritative
men Of Little Town Are Stoicaijy
Awaiting the Last Ordeal.

Cherry, ILL.,, Jan. 31.-Nearly every
woman in Cherry is drawing her heart
strings tight to undergo the ordeal of
exhumation that is expected this week,
following the promised unsealing OF
the St. Paul mine, in which more than
200 coal miners have lain entombed
| since Nov. Is, when fire caused the
death Of some $50 men. =
With snowstorm beating over the
prairie and the helmet men not yet
arrived from the University of ILL.,
nois, the prospects are that the lid,
which has kept the mine tightly closed
for two months, will not be pried Off
the shafts mouth before Tuesday.
AS it is not certain that the fire in
the mine is extinguished, nothing def
mite towards the recovery of the bod
les will be planned until experts pro-
tected with oxygen helmets have ex-
plored the shaft
If conditions prove propitious the
fan will be started to suck in fresh
air. Any smouldering fire will have
to be extinguished and 100000 gal
Ions of water pumped from the third
level. It is thought that ABOUT 40
bodies are floating on this water in
the bottom of the mine. Upwards of
200 other corpses are said to be hud-
died in the second level.
The condition Of the bodies Is caus-
ing as much concern as are the engi-
neering problemss attendant on the I'M
Gaping of the mine and the cleaning
of the debris from the. subterranean
passages.
1t has been suggested that much Of
the grewsomeness of the situation
could be avoided by destroying the
cadavers in the mine galleries with
chemicals. -- ~.
This proposal, unof1icially made, has
met with bitter opposition on the part
Of the widows, mothers and children
of the dead miners. .&
Then contend that all they now
hope for is to look once more on the
form of beloved relative, to give that
body Christian burial and to recov-
er some personal token of the deced-
ent, such as watch or a ring.
With grief so long drawn out, the
women of Cherry are stoically await
ing the last ordeal. Tentative arrange
ments are already making for funerals
and burials. =. 49,. a... ,.-..... =. -. i. Il
