night and the Mexican consul pro-
tested that he should be arrested.
Gomez went to the police station,
but at the crisis it was found that
no evidence existed against him.
That he was not quite certain of
the attitude of the United States
authorities was shown by the meth
DDS whihc he used in getting into
Juarez. He did not utilize the COM

TO AID FLOOD VICTIMS.

The Red Cross has issued an urg-
ent appeal for funds for the relief OF
sufferers from the Mississippi floods.
Money in large amounts is needed
and needed at once to feed and clothe
thousands of refugees, to send nurses
and doctors to see that hastily
patched-up refugee camps do not be-
come hotbeds Of typhoid and malaria,
and as the flood subsidies, to re-estab-
lish the sufferers in their homes where
houses, stock, fences all the means
of livelihood are swept away.
Ernest p. Bicknell, director Of the
American Red Cross, issues the APP
peal and describes the situation III
detail in this weeks Issue OF the Sur
vey magazine which is the accredited
spokesman for the organization. He
shows how the flood has been pro-
gressive and cumulative. Starting at
Cairo. ILL.,, April |, it has followed the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers down
their courses to New Orleans g *
great belt Of devasted country lies
in the floods path. Farms, villages,
and cities; have been wrecked. Live
stock is dead. Houses. were carried
away One hundred and fifty thousand
people are homeless There are $780,
900 refugees in and about only two Of
the many flooded districtsat Vicks-
burg. Miss. and Helena, Ark.
The army has done splendid work,
Mr.. Bicknell SAYS. in rushing supplies,
forming refugee camps, rescuing sur
vivors. But the Red Cross must now
take charge all down the course Of the
rampaging rivers. It must continue to
feed the people, to maintain order and
regulate sanitation, to nurse the sick,
to provide for the babies that were
born in the army tents.
Gradually it must re-establish the
people in their homes. That is the
biggest task of all For that task, the
Red Cross is particularly we'll equip
ped. It's agents are all through the
stricken districts. The need is for
money in generous sums.
Mr.. Bicknell points out that COM
paratively slow progress of the flood
has robbed it of the elements of sur
prise and horror which have been I'm
portant parts in raising large relief
funds following sudden disaster. The
prompt action o fthe army has led
some to think that all needs have
been met. Just the contrary is the
case. To keep tens Of thousands OF
people well in camps and to restore
them to their homes and to self-sup
port is task measuring up in many
aspects to the Red Cross work at San
Francisco.

Washington advices say that the
Clark leaders are not little concern
ed over the Underwood movement. It
has been freely assumed by the Clark
leaders that they would be able to
harvest the crop of Underwood dele
gates at the right time, but they are
not so certain of this of late. Under
wood and his lieutenants are credited
with playing lot of clever politics.
One story is that Tammany will throw
its strength to the southern candidate,
in which event he will become quite
formidable. The possibility that
Roosevelt may be nominated is said to
be tending to help Underwood. It is
being quietly urged by his friends
that in fight against the latter he
would carry New York and much OF

PRESIDENT RlpLEYs VIEWS.

In a recent interview on his return
to Chicago from Pasadena. Cahf.,
where he spent the winter, President
E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe spoke
optimistically of the crop and bust
ness outlook in the west and south
west. He also discussed number of
other pertinent subjects. Among
other things he said:
The outlook never was better for
crops in the west and southwest.
There has been an abundance of mois-
ture, which means everything in those
sections, unless there is an unusually
had drought or continued rain. crops
/ should be unusually abundant. This
! means everything to business.
Current railroad business shows
signs of improving conditions. On
/ the Santa Fe the gross earnings for
May will equal those Of last year, but
| the increased cost of operation will
bring the net earnings considerably
below those for the corresponding
period.
The Panama canal, think. will be
a had thing for the middle west. fol-
this reason: 1t will decrease the rates
from the Atlantic coast and give that
section an advantage over the middle
4 west. l see no reason WIN canal toll:
should be free for coastwise steam
sbips or anv others. 1t will cost 81.
100000 to se.o00.0GA to onerate In,

THE UNKNOWN BLUE AND GRAY.
There are unknown graves in the val
leys
That the troops of war possessed,
Where the bugles sounded for rallies
But the bullets sang of rest;
And the mountains hold without num-
Der
Hidden graves from wars mad day,
Where the unknown men have their
slumber
In their shrouds OF blue and gray.
And no drums will rumble and rattle
And no flies blow sharp and shrill
In the valleys that knew the battle,
Nor atop the lone high hill;
But the silent stars know the story
And the broad sky of the day
Bends and whispers low of their
10 these men Of blue and gray.
And no banners Ger them are waving.
No marchers come and pause
With cheers for the land of their saw
ing
Or tears for their lost cause;
Yet the twilight stars intermingle
With the hues when ends the day.
And the striving flags now are single
Ger the men of blue and gray.
There are unknown graves in the
thickets,
On the hillside and the plain,
OF the missing scouts and the pickets,
Yet they did not fall in vain.
Though their names may not be en-
craven
And their places in the fray,
In our hearts now each finds haven,
They who wore the blue and gray.
For the God of battles is kindly
With none of mankfnd's hate
That is cherished ever SO blindly-
And these pawns of warefare's fate
Have their tombs of natures splendor
Each set forth in proud array
Through an impulse holy and tender,
Though they wore the blue and
gray.
Where once were the guns that
wrangled
Sounds the peace song of the
thrush,
And the roses and vines are tangled
In the solemn, sacred hush;
Where the cannon one day would hur
tie
Their missiles in the fray
Grows the rue and the creeping
myrtle
Ger the graves of blue and gray.
They are natures hands that ar,
strewing
The flowers on each mound;
1t is Gods own beautiful doing
That each unknown grave is fount
Where the cypress leaves are aquivel
Where peaks lift through the day
Where the forest signs to the rive
OF the unknown blue and gray.
