BODY OF YOUNG ROYAL OAK
MAN is FOUND IN RIVER
Smoking Cigarettes Drove VIM.
Lauve To Suicide, Says
Step-Father

The body of the young man, found
In the river at the foot OF Third-st.
by the crew of the mail boat, Tuesday
afternoon, was positively identified
Wednesday morning, as that OF VII
liam Lauve, II years old, who disap
peared from his step-father's home
In Royal Oak, last October
p. Rother, the step-father, who made
the Identification. blames excessive
use OF cigarettes for the young man 1
death, and believes that I.auve took
his own life, as he had often threat
ened to do so while in morbid mood
following almost constant smoking oi
cigarettes.
The identification Of the badly de
composed body, which had evidently
been i'm the river since last fail, was
made possible by an address found In
the young mans clothing. A telegram
sent TO No. 1874 Orchard-st,, Chicago
reached E'reda Lauve, sister OF the
young man, who I'm turn telegraphed
20 Mr.. Rother. He came in from Roya
Oak Wednesday. and identified the
clothing and effects as those of his
step-son.
Lauve left home without an over
coat. and when urged to wear one, re
piled, II won't need one"
II is thought that he went directly
to the river. as the clothing on ths
body was what he wore when he Ief
home.
Mr.. Rother told Coroner Burgess
that he would take charge Of the re
mains, which will be shipped te
Royal Oak.

FLOOD DAMAGE
IN SOUTH PUT AT
FIFTY MILLIONS
War Department Has Expended
100000 To Care For
Homeless Thousands
$2,OOO,OOO MORE MUST
BE PROVIDED BY CONGRESS
Launches From u. S. Warships
Will Reach Many Suf-
s-+ ferers Now in Peril

WASHINGTON, May S.-FIfty mil
lion dollars OF loss already done, mil
lions more in prospect.
This Is the view government ex-
perts take OF the food damage in
the Mississippi river' valley, to say
nothing of the toll of human life
exacted, and the lives that have been
placed in jeopardy.
- Department OF agriculture experts
estimate that the loss OF farm crops
aud agricultural property has prob
ably reached the S50.000 600 mark
and may finally double that sum. The
damage TO the cotton crop alone is
expected to be stupendous.
To furnish food for the thousands
OF homeless people who have been
rendered temporarily destitute, the
war department has already expend-
= ed $500 900. This represents the ac.
tual amount spent since the river
ana Its tributaries first went on a
rampage less than a month agoT The
present prospect Is that 1t will be at
least a month before conditions are
normal, and II this proves the case,
department officials fear they will
need about 100000 more to care for
flood sufferers.
Congress has already appropriated
almost $3.50 900 for relief work. To
finish the relief work already begun
II may be necessary TO provide near
iy 100000 more This does not
take into account repairs which wilt
have 10 be made 10 broken levees
and displaced bars which must be
reconstructed.
II is estimated that the army has
provided 10000 tents TO house food
refugees, varying all the way from
canvas affairs that cost only $13, all
the way to costly tropical tents. Mil
lions OF army sandbags have been
, used TO check the in.rush or water
where the levees threaten to- give
" The vast territory in which relief
work has been done, stretches from,
Cairo, Ills. TO New Orleans, dis
tance OF 554 miles. This does not in
ciade territory in the extended val
leys of the Ohio and Red rivers.
Although the navy department has
no fund at it's disposal which could
be used in rescue work, there is a
good chance that congress Will grant
II q small sum, so that II can work
in q limited way in conjunction with
the war department.
The sending OF the battleship Ne
hraska, the. gunboat Petrol and the
militia ship Isla De Cuba, up the
river to save the lives Of persons
stranded In out of the way spots in
the flooded territory was done en-.
tirely on the responsibility OF Secre-
tnry Meyer.
The secretary heard from the cap
tain of the Nebraska. which has been
near Baton Rouge, La, OF the alarm
ing conditions in the lower Missis-
. sippi valley, and ordered the captain
TO help. 1t is expected that the
launches Of the warships will be able
to do very effective work, reaching
many sufferers now In peril. The
Nebraska can go up the river as far
as vicksburg. and the gunboat Petrol
will, II necessary establish patrol
as far north as st. Louis.
Appeals for contributions to enable
the Red Cross to extend relief have
not met with as prompt response as
the officials would like.

MARATHON STUNT AT A Am.
Woman Swallows Spring Lini-

Bye Note To Mother
MARATHON STUNT AT4 Am.

Grace Daravich, who signs her name
Pearl when writing to her mother
In Cleveland, and who says that her
every day name is Frankie, when she
talks to policemen and reporters, took
spring liniment instead of carbolic
acid in an attempt at suicide, early
Wednesday morning, with terrible re-
sults.
Just when Grace Pearl. Frankie
should have been lying on a cold hard
slab in the county morgue, with
throngs OF /grief-stricken friends, say
Ing nice things about her. the liniment
started its deadly work, and the blonde
young woman, much against her will,
went into sort OF forced spring train
ing for the Marathon.
II made no difference that at the
moment the "Charley-horse' remedy
started TO work on frankie she was
lying on the operating table In st.
Alary's hospital, covered only with a
sheet. Wrapping the sheet around her
like the classic drape of the original
Marathoner, she dashed out of the
hospital and down the street

might have entertained, was soon dis

Frankie's plump, sheet-enclosed form.
He took frankie to the police station,
where embarrassed officers hustled
over to her rooming house and scared
up some regular clothing.
Frankie swallowed the iiniment IN

o'clock, after writing sad little note,
winding up with postscript advising
that two physicians be called to at

The note follows:

When she faced Capt Baker, after a
matron had furnished her with some
regular clothing from her rooming
house, Frankie said that her husband
had left her about three months ago.
and that she had drifted along the
downward path until she became very
discouraged.

CHICAGO, May S.-There has been
a good deal of sfuggtng in Chicago
since the beginning of the strike
against the Hearst newspapers and
the other big dailies. The blackjack
and the fist of the thug are common
weapons all the time in this half-civil-
lied city, but they have been more in
evidenve than usual during this strike.
The newspapers, which are all but
tied up in their operations, are terri
bly, shocked at the slugging. They
"denounce with horror every day and
send accounts OF brutality over the
Associated Press by night
However much sympathy they stir
up in other cities, there is but little
wasted on the newspapers by the neu-
tral citizens OF Chicago The reason
for this is that everybody here knows
that the slugging is merely case Of
chickens coming home to roost on the
roosts of those very papers.

MARKET OPENING

NEW YORK, May s.-The stock

than last nights close.
The Detroit times., 1912-05-08

There have been seeyral very lively
circulation wars In Chicago during the
past five years. When you 20 out to
sell more copies here In Chicago you
don't do 1t by showing the public what
good newspaper you print. That's
much too civilized. The Chicako way
Is to hire gang of sluggers by the
week or month and send them over
town TO beat up newsdealers. news
boys and even innocent purchasers OF
papers,
The Chicago publishers have done
this for years The sluggers were Ak
lures on the payroll When the strike
came, the sluggersAalso struck and hav.
Ing been shown thing or two in the
past by newspaper managers. they
went out and exhibited their art
against the managers.
SO that's where all this slugging you
read about in the dispatches comes
from.
