PROMPT RELIEF
URGED BY TAFT

Following urgent appeals for aid from
the flooded districts in the Imperial
valley, California, along the Colorado
river. President Taft today prepared a
special message 10 Congress soliciting
prompt action on the bill which has
been introduced apprOpriating 100000
for the sufferers.
That the situation in the Imperial
valley is extremely bad is shown by
the effect that the President, despite the
fact that he has more business TO trans
act than AZ any other time since the
tariff session closed in 1903, has stopped
consideration of bills already passed up
to him, TO ask Congress to act quickly.
Heavy rains and warm weather have
melted the SHOWS, causing the Colorado
river to overflow its banks. In some
Instances whole villages have suffered.
The Presidents decision 10 send the
special message TO Congress was made
after he had received kilograms from
General Otis, of California, and others,
ard a personal appeal from Representa-
tive Smith of the same State.
