tually homeless and 100000 unem-
ployed hundreds are still imperilled
by the flood and acute distress is
everywhere. The government an
nounced today that IL has the stu

that the crisis OF the flood itself
passed and. II none of the threaten

in a position to recover from the

A reign of crime and pillage Is
sweeping the food devastated sec

soldiers and poiioe. Increasing depre-
cations so enraged the people that

from their wrath.
At Alfortville today a boat contain

yolver battle the looters' boat was
finally sunk and two robbers were
drowned. one was captured and
lynched and fourth escaped.
Eight armed robbers in a deserted
hotel for more than an hour held at
bay a mob seeking their lives. Gem

Following the filing of his wife's
divorce papers and a petition that he

Ezra Whitney So years old, today
waylaid his wife in a crowded street,
as she was going to work in com

SHORTAGE RUMOR
CAUSE OF FURRY
Supposed Missing $1,000 Safely
Reposing in the Alameda
County Treasury

OAKLAND, May 26.-A furry went
over Official circles today with the
rumor that $1,000, which the city of
Oakland had deposited with the supe-
r1or court as a guaranty fund in con-
demnation suits, had disappeared. The
money, as the report went, was not to
be found yesterday. when Henry Hen
kin, deputy city auditor, went through
the couI-sy treasurers books to check
up the city's account with the county.
The furry Immediately subsidized to-
day, when investigation showed that
the money was intact in the county
treasury, and that fun account had
been rendered to the city auditor by
County Treasurer NJ j. Kelly and his
chief deputy Edward Planer.
Planer explained the rumor by stat
ing that Henkin, city auditors deputy,
had gone through the books as the city
auditor does at regular periods. but had
failed to- find the item of the $1,000.
Then Planer himself took up the work
and showed the. full sum in the county
treasury credited to the city of Oak
land as money in escrow in the supe-
rior court, with the actual coin in safe
keeping.
Henkin apparently was nonplused
by his own situation, for he would not
talk about his investigation of the
city's finances. He asserted finally.
however, that there was nothing to
the report. and declared that every
thing was correct in the accounts.
The money in the county treasury
was deposited by the city of Oakland
two years ago when condemnation
suits were brought by the city against
Edison Adams, John Charles Adams
Thomas Prather and others to obtain
for the city a proposed park site in
the marsh land at the corner of Twelfth
and Fallon streets. The city estimated
the value at $4,000, and the Adams
brothers demanded a sum double the
city estimate.
The $1,000 deposit was made. and
when the suit was ended with the sale
of the property to the city at an ad-
vanced figure it was supposed that the
money would be returned. But the
Adams attorneys gave notice of an ap-
peal, which is expected soon, and, pend
ing the future litigation, the citys
money was left with the county treas
urer, with whom the county clerk had
placed it..
