Omaha, Nebo Oct 1---Presidsnt

somewhat perilous trip over the
food damaged railroad.

center of storm in northeastern
Kansas and eastern Nebraska during
which it is estimated at some points
inches of rain fell Small bridges
were swept away and during the
forenoon portion of the track over
which the President travelled was
covered with more than foot of
water.
The Taft special was held at Rush
Vile, Mo, for several hours and
there was two hour delay at Falls
City, waiting for the food to subside.
Section hands along the Missouri
Pacific system were ordered out by
the hundreds, at several places the
tracks were lifted on Jacks from the
muddy waters and propped on piles
of cross ties 1t was by far a most
dangerous railroad situation the
President has been III during many
of his travels.
Arriving here the President was
taken to the Omaha Club for dinner
and spent the evening there. He
will leave for Lincoln and Denver

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The spec
lal session of the forty-seyenth gen.
eral assembly of Illinois which re-
cessed late in June, until Oct. 2, Will
be reconvened at noon Tuesday. In
accordance with an agreement no
effort will be made to transact busi-
ness on Tuesday 1t is planned to
meet and adjourn for one week. In
the interval the house and senate
leaders will endeavor to formulate
some plan to guide the deliberations
of the special session. ,- a. !
But one subject. Of legislation,
deep waterways, was named in Gov
Denen's call for the special session.
No other subject can be taken
up unlcsa the call is amended which
in the opinion of Attorney General
Stead is impossible
Gov Deneen has been urged tc
enlarge the call to include the initi-
tive and referendum and proposi-
tion for the Illinois public Utility
Commission.
Affects Lorimer Case.
lt is said Gov Deneen favors en-
larging the call or issuing another
for a special session which cannot
be called until the present one ad-
journs. The tangle is aggravated by
the fact that the anti-Deneen mem
bers are opposed to adjourning the
special session until the Lorimer
case finally is disposed at Washing
ton.
The special session probably Will
drag through long recesses until
next year, despite the belief that nc
deep waterway legislation will be
accomplished
