Missing and Others May
Have Been Killed
CLoUDBURST is THE CAUSE
Cherry Creek is Raging Torrent
Financial Loss is Between
$1,000,000 and $4,O0O,OO0

DENVER, Col, July l5.-Although
the police early today expressed The
fear that a dozen or more persons
were drowned in the cloudburst and
flood which swept Denver yesterday,
there was confirmation of the deaths
OF only two persons--a woman and a
child. In addition, two men are miss
Ing. The flooded district has not yet
been thoroughly examined, however,
and other fatalities may be revealed
The property loss will run between
$l,000,000 and 100000 according TO
today's estimates. Immediately after
the food, Mayor Arnold threw open
the auditorium to the homeless and
they are being cared for there.
Although the earlier cloudburst
Inundated the lower sections OF the
city the greatest damage did not
come until a wall of water rushed
down Cherry creek. This was caused
by cloudburst at Sullivan, Col. This
caused the water TO sweep through
the poorer residence district, with
terrific force, destroying homes like
houses of cards.
All the deaths so far reported were
In the lower residence districts. Zoe
Wallace, and an unknown boy were
seen to fall into the torrent and are
supposed to have drowned. The body
of a man was found under three feet
OF debris along the railroad tracks
today.
Scores OF persons whose homes
were destroyed, climbed to the pier
of the buildings nearby and were
taken of by firemen and policemen.
At 10 o'clock last night the water be-
gan to subside.
A four-mile area in the poorer res
idence districts was inundated, five
hundred families being rendered
homeless
With the fourth and sixth putting
greens practically destroyed by the
cloudburst and food yesterday, the
condition of the Denver Country club
links was such early today as to cause
the fear that the Western Golf as
sociation tournament, scheduled to
start today, would have to be post

would be no play today in the tour

DON'T TIP THE SHINE
BOY; BOSS POCKETS 1T

Don't give a tip to the boy who
shines your shoes at the Greek shoe
shining stand II you don't want the
proprietor TO get the extra money.
Many who believe they are adding a
mite TO the boys wages are simply
swelling the profits of the proprietor,
who, as q rule, pays his boys a few
dollars a week. Such are the facts
obtained by p. Constan, a Greek
graduate OF Harvard. recently APP
pointed a factory inspector by Perry
Powers, state labor commissioned.
Constan was appointed especially to
get at the facts relating TO the EN-.
ployment OF Greek boys in this city.
He found in one instance that bow
was paid 81 a week for seven davs'
work, that the boys tips amounted
TO $50 month, and that the proprte.
tor took the tips away from the boy.
this being the agreement before he
would hire the boy. In a few in.
Nances, boys under the age limit
were working seven days week and
