Washington, D. c., April 15-Presi-
dent Taft sent to Congress a special
message urging the immediate appro-
priation of amounts aggregating near
ly $7SS,000 in controlling the floods of
the Mississippi river, and to aid flood
sufferers.
The message asked for 100000 in
addition to the $35OOOO already ap-
propriated to be used in siren gthening
the levees; $275,000 for expenses OF
the quartermaster generals depart
ment in furnishing heller, forage,
transportation etc, and $212.S97 for
rations already supplied or to be sup
piled to destitute persons, He based
his request on estimates made by the
secretary of War, which accompanied
the message.
THE crest of the flood" read the
message, lis now reaching the lower
| portion of the Mississippi where the
country is flatter and where the
danger of the levees, is at least as great
as above and where the damage and
| loss to persons and property, if Gre
vases occur, will be far greater than
on the upper river, necessitating even
greater amount of relief work than
that already incurred.
These estimates have been carefully
made and are based on communica-
tions of officers of the army on the
ground now experimenting the relief
and engineering work.

Paul johnson was arrested this
morning by Detectives Fackler
and Huckaba on suspicion. He
had been attempting to pawn
some fine jewelry and the pawn
shop man becoming suspicious no
tilted the police. Johnson had in
his possession, when arrested,
four fine Elk's teeth, a fine gold
watch, a pair of opera glasses
and several gems.
He admitted stealing them and
said that until a month ago he
had worked for a man named
Delkins, who operated the North
west Gem company, in Seattle,
and that he had taken these
things gradually. Last night he
shipped two suit cases, supposed
ly full of loot to Bob Fuller in
Portland. Johnson gave his oc-

"Why doesn't the attorney gen.

continued Mr.. Wallace. Because
he intends to make Dupont pay
without suing them; because the
same questions are involved IN

time and money to go to the SUI

because he intends to get decis-

"This whole uproar about suing
the Duponts comes from the
agents OF the casualty companies.
They aren't worrying about the
poor pensioners whose bread-win-

gone a-glimmering since the
