Sonora Madero repeats the charges
filed at Washington by Luis Manuel

She makes them her own sensational
series OF disclosure. If permitted to
do so, Sonora Madero will tell her
story to United States government
heads, she says. Ambassador Wilson,
she declares, had knowledge in ad-
vance of the coup d'etat, which over
threw the Madero government. He
conferred with Huerta on the disposi-
ton of Madero and Vice President
Pine Suarez and advised the dictator
to do what he thought best for the
interests of the country" In so many
words Sonora Madero declares Am.
bassador Wilson informed her that
Pine Suarez could not be released, but
would have ito disappear" by which
the Sonora understood that he was to
die.

coNrAeIoN IN FLOOD DISTRICTS
Is Serious Problem With Government
and State Officials.

Columbus, O.-With military pre-
cision the battle against pestilence in
the recently inundated portions of
Ohio now is being conducted, and
though reports Of contagion here and
there have come to Col. Joseph Hall,
chief medical officer in charge. he be-
lieVes that the situation is fairly well
in hand
The trouble has been greatly augu-
mented by the poor sanitary facilities
in some of the smaller municipalities
in the path of the foods. In the
scrambling process that took place the
infections already have spread. To
combat these and to restore normal
sanitary conditions is the twin task
to which the medical corps of the Ohio
national guard is devoting itself.
The state board Of health is aiding
the stricken districts, but the activi-
ties have been subordinated to those
Of the emergency military arm. The
state board lacks in authority. 1t must
exercise its powers through the local
health boards, and in the smaller mu-
inequalities and in many of the town
ships these are mere paper organiza-
tions.

mAYsviLLE CARES FOR ITS OWN.

Maysville, Ky.-The Ohio river
reached stage of 66.7 feet, exceeding
the 1884 flood by seven or eight inches.
Two brick houses in the East End
gave way under the lashing of the
waves and several frame houses we're
carried off their foundations. Many
families were taken from their homes
out OF second story windows. The
first loss of life so far reported oc-

his datboat and was drowned. The

excitement and all turned and worked
with a will.
What the loss OF life has been will
never be known accurately. Bodies
have been washed away and others
covered with mud and rubbish Many
of these never will be found. Entire
families will drop from sight, and it
will never be known whether they
were drowned or merely separated
themselves from the scene of the dis
aster by moving elsewhere. The early
estimates of loss of life were grossly
excessive, but the truth will be ap-
pallfng enough The money loss is
beyond estimate.
In the destruction of municipal
plants the work of years has been de-
stroyed, and stricken communities will
be slow to incur future expense until
they have recovered from the flood
losses. 1t means ruin to many private
enterprises.

WIND AND RAIN
LOUISVILLE FRIGHTENED BY
WIND OF GREAT VELOCITY
AND HEAVY RAIN.
Council Makes Appropriateness
Rules to Be Enforeed-River Fall
inq-Worst Believed to BE Past.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Louisville, Ky.-Flood.shya Louisville
received genuine fright, when for
an hour the city was swept by a wind
Of terrific velocity, followed by tor
rents of rain. The effect OF the long
nervous strain made itself evident
when newspaper Offices and the
Weather Bureau were besieged by tel
ephone calls from the timid, who had
heard of direful effects in all sections
of the city.
Contrary to general belief, little
damage was done. The heavy rain
choked sewers already filed and
caused minor floods in the streets,
which delayed street car service, and
at some points raced along curb high.
Two life-saving crews were immedi-
ately dispatched to the submerged dis
tricts, where it was feared floating
houses would be swept away, but lit
tie harm was done, and the storm soon
passed.
Much apprehension was felt in JEFF
fersonVille, where a fill on the Penn
sylvania railroad was giving much
alarm during the past four days, but
the re-enforced embankment held well.
The watch was doubled in the fill, and
will be maintained. The river is fall
ing rapidly. No further damage is an
ticipated.
The city council passed an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 for flood
sufferers. Prevention of disease when
the flood recedes is occupying the at
tention of health officers. Orders for
disinfecting all houses which have
been submerged and caution to boil all
drinking water were issued.
