EVANSVILLE, Ind, April S.-Ex-
treme conditions of suffering resulting
from the Ohio flood were reported to-
day from Uniontown, KY, where the
400 inhabitants of the town and 600
refugees from the surrounding coun-
try were huddled i'm the fair grounds
on the only dry spot in an area of
ten miles square. The people are
without food.
Ten thousand tents will be dispatched
to Uniontown on the steamer Lowry
this afternoon.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The
American Chamber of Commerce, at
Paris. sent $4,000 today for food re-
lief. The American Lunch Club, at
London, sent $1,250, and the Council
of the City of Regina. Saskatchewan,
Canada, $1,000.
CAIRO, ILL.,, April 3.-Although
rain and wind had been predicted for
Cairo. the sun rose clear and every
thing gave promise that another
clear. warm day could he utilized in
further preparing against the pos
sibility of a food into the town.
There was little change In the
gauge today, the water standing
about the same as 1t did last mid
night. The official reading was 54,5.
The reason given by the local fore
caster for this condition is the fact
that the small levees continue to
give way, both on the Missouri and
Kentucky sides and it is believed
here that great part Of the country
in these States is being flooded
Both soldiers and naval reserves
held themselves in readiness for res
cue work, one OF the first acts of the
reserves being to return to Missouri
with forty soldiers of the Missouri
National Guard, who were rescued
from a dangerous position near Bird
Point last night The soldiers were
brought here and were reported TO
have been in IA serious plight when
rescued.

he made last night while opposing

At that time Mr.. Salus said that

House Wants to
Prolong Session
CFrom a san Correspondents


TRENTON. N. j., April g.
Sine die adjournment of the Legis-
lature this afternoon appears to be
not probable now. In caucus Demo
cratic House members have decided
to appoint Messrs. Hennessy, Mar
shall and Muligan as a committee to
wait on members of the Senate and
inform them the House wishes to
clear its calendar Of Senate and
House bills before final adjournment.
The House also desires to adjourn
in daylight and without a session
tonight probably could get through
by tomorrow afterloon. When the
House reconvenes this afternoon the
concurrent resolution passed some
time ago to adjourn at 3 p. m. today
probably will be rescinded and then
the Senate will be asked to agree
upon an hour of adjournment.
In the caucus it was also decided
that the members should use their

sor, and which started a row in the

Tanners Oppose
Lower Tariff

A special meeting of as many of the
Newark tanners as. could be sum-
moned together on short notice was
held today in the Board of Trade
rooms to discuss the leather tariff
question which is now before the law
makers at Washington After the
proposed tariff schedule had been
discussed at length the leathermen
went on record as protesting against
the proposed elimination of duties on
all leather and leather products.
The tanners protested against this
proposed elimination of duty on
leather. in view of the fact that it
is planned to leave a tariff on tanning
materials.
