LIGHT CROP OF HONEY
BUT EXCELLENT PRICES

The honey in the I.ovelock valley
will be lighter this year than usual
despite the fact that the alfalfa
boom was Unfortunately plentiful
for the first and second crops.
The bees seemed to have develop
ed a sort of balIiRerency and the
spirit of conquest.
They deposited heavily during
the first crop from which about
$4,000 worth of honey was for
warded but they seemed to grow
lazy and pugnacious afterwards
and the hordes from the stronger
hives descended upon the weaker
and wreaked their vengeance.
There was considerable robbing
the hives and a number of ssngui-
nary battles which were all right
from the view nf the sportsman,
but discouraging when the honey
producer was an onlooker.
The third crop does not promise
great returns and there is little or
nothing in the Lovelock valley ex-
cept the lucnrne to invite honey
making, thence the outlook is not
the most favorable in the world al
though it is an established fact
that the Lovelock honey 10 the best
in the world.

mittee, Governor James M. Cox tonight

tary officials explained to the commit
tee the situation Dayton is now facing.

PROMISED FAIR PLAY,
SAYS ALBERT FROST

Chicago, April Assertions that
former Attorney General George W.
Wickersham had in the fall of 1908
promised him fair play. were made to-
day by Albert C. Frost, on trial with
four others before Federal Judge Ian
dis for alleged Alaskan land frauds.
The testimony relative to Wickersham
was introduced as a result of the read
ing of an opinion of the Attorney Cen
eral in an Oregon land case trial where
subsequent developments, 1t was al
legged showed that the government at
torneys had persuaded witnesses to
swear falsely in the interest of the
prosecution.

titled Frost, when I heard that the

Senator Cullom made arrangements to
meet Mr.. Wicl1ersham. 1 told the At

status of the coal claims. l assured
him that all the claims were taken out

one else. told MIN action py tne
government against me would do me
much injury and be unfair. l offered
to interrupt my trip and testify before
a grand jury.
"Mr Wickersham said that I need

and direct him to stop the prosecution
of the case against me if he, Town
send, found the facts to be as I had
stated He suggested ] also write to
Townsend which [ did and I have no

Shawneetown DepopuIated

Shawneetown ILL.,, April 2.-All that is
left tonight OF Shawneetown Is the few
substantial brick and stone building be-
hind the main levee, and they are con-
sidered unsafe There are less than 100
persons left in the former town of 1000.
They are in the second and third stories
of the Main street buildings, the struc-
lures on the highest street in the town.
A strong wind rising at 10 o'clock this
morning, completed the destruction be-
gun by the opening of the south levee
yesterday.
The water within the levees was ur
to the 81 foot level of the Ohio river. The
AZ miles an hour tempest lashed the
broads water of the Ohio into a rolling,
tossing sea.
Tbe breakers dashed over the already
submerged levees. Between the churning
waters and the southwest gale frame
buildings fell to pieces and the more sub
stantial structures were shaken.
A break in the northern levee also
added to the danger OF the town, ana the
main force of the Ohio striking the north
levee The rift in the embankment rapidly
spread and soon q swift current was dash
ing through the residence section carry
ing all before 1t. BY night the Ohic
stood between 45 and so feet, accurate
reading being impossible because of the
huge swells rolling in.
The entire north and east levees are
submerged The levee hotels, heretofore
considered impregnable OF flood attack
were deserted by the several hundred mer
who had preferred them to refuge witt
their families in the highest buildings In
the town. The state guards were trans
ferred from their camps to the refuge'
oamps on the hills when the leyees be
gan to crumble tefore the wind ant

Much Money Needed

Indianapolis, April 2.-Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are needed to relieve suf-
fering among flood refugees in Indian
apolis, according to the report of the gen.
eral relief committee. Three thousand
families have lost all or port of their
house furnishings, and it will require an
average of at least S100 for each family,
the committee reported. Hundreds of men
are needed to clear away the filth left
by the flood.
Plans for raising large sum of money,
to be made available Immediately to the
sufferers, were discussed, and it was
decided to start popular subscriptions and
designate places for contributions.
I'VE are not guessing at these statis-
tics" said Joseph C. Sehaf, one of the in
vestigators for the committee, the flood
victims are helpless. They need money
and need it Immediately. The men are
women clean up the homes, and it is a
disheartening task for which many are
not physically able. Give them money
Immediately so they can pile their water
soaked mattresses and other furniture in
the street and touch match to II. Ihat
will give them new heart"
Appeals from over the state poured in
on Governor Ralston today. Terre Haute
sent committee asking that money be
appropriated to help rebuild the houses
devas astated by the tornado which pre-
ceeded the floods. Peru and Logansport
also asked state aid. The governor said
he would ask the National Red Cross
to send an investigator to learn Just what
help was needed.
DR.. ]. O. Cobb, in charge of the federal
work in Indiana, today said he believed
the flood situation in the state would be
under control within two days.
