Second Floor Establishment
HeraIds Its Introduction in
Unique Manner

San Francisco's quota OF retail busi-
ness houses will be added to tomor-
row by the opening of an extensive
mems clothes shop on the second
floor OF the Phelan building. Occu-
pancy OF one OF the upper floors OF
downtown office building by a re-
tall store of large proportions is some
what unique, as the custom has been
to confine these. business houses to
the street stores
Milton's Clothes Shop, the new store
which opens to its first customers to-
morrow. has. however, announced that
it will remain on the second floor and
give its purchasers the benefit of a
reduction in prices of it's mems
clothes equal to the difference be-
tween the cost of rent downstairs
and that upstairs.
The introduction of the new shop to
San Francisco was, like its location,
somewhat novel For a number Of
days there hAs appeared in The Call a
blind advertisement announcing
that today every male reader of The
Call could learn, in the papers ad-
vertising columns, of q way to make
$10." There was an appeal in this
blind ad that caught many readers
who will today. in another part Of
The Call. learn how this $40 Is to be
made-"hy buying suit of clothes at
$40 less than the usual price,"
The new store Is quite large. Is
equipped with modern departments

TEST

BY j. s.
Government Probing Removal
From Canada, Which Is
Called Treaty Violation

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The federal
government today came. to the aid of
Harry K Thaw in his fight against
returning to Matteawan asylum. It
was learned at the state department
that the government probably will re-
quire a trial testing Thaw's sanity,
irrespective of other criminal litiga-
tion involved In the case.
Solicitor Joseph w. Folk of the state
department said that no decision
would be handed down before Mon
day on Thaw's request for an inves-
tigation of Canada's act in his case,
but that the government has gone into
this act and the investigation is being
made on certain points In the United
States treaty with Canada which, it Is
claimed. were violated.
1T looks as though Thaw was max
ing a monkey of the New York law.
but that is not so,'' said Solicitor
Folk. The state law regarding SEN
tences OF insanity imposed instead of
sentences of guilt in murder cases
is wrongly construed. The New York
law Is faulty in that respect and
should be changed"
The present plan contemplates an
appeal to the federal court at Boston
II the decision OF Governor Felker of
New Hampshire is against Thaw in

question of Thaw's. sanity can be
taken up directly. by the government.

INDIANA SUFFERERS
Food, Clothing, and Water Taken
to Thousands of Victims in
Many Stricken Cities.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March &.-The
fight to relieve flood conditions in CEN
trail and northern Indiana was won to-
day, but along the lower end of the
Wabash river, which the crest has just
reached. the troubles were just begin
ming.
Not one of the tens of thousands o.
refugees in cities suffered for lack of
water, food. clothing or attention today.
This was the word from Fort Wayne.
Lafayette, Peru, Logansport, Kokomo.
Wabash, Terre Haute, Indianapolis,
Martinsvflle. Shelbyville and a score of
other cities and towns.
With communication partly restored,
came the first direct word from Peru
that the situation there had been
greatly exaggerated, and that, while
the exact death toll is not known, only
three bodies have been recovered, and
the toll would not reach more than
fifty at the outside. Relief mad reached
Peru from half a dozen cities from the
north and no refugee was hungry.
FRANKLIN county, in the southeast,
still appeared to be the hardest hit,
towns partly or wholly wiped out. 1t
Is certain. howeevr. that the loss of
life will not reach more than fifty.
Relief Work Is Effective.
Relief work was going on with help
from Connersville and surrounding vii
lagos, and the situation was decidedly
encouraging. In Indianapolis a per-
feet organization cared for 1900 refu-
gees in public buildings, which had
room for more, and boats well pro-
visioned secured the area in West In
dianapolis and Broad Ripple, visiting
the last marooned household, which re-
fused to desert its property.
This is the rosy but true view of the
situation in the State today, four full

said:
''One thing that stands out in my
memory was the sight of a man on
horseback floating down the river
absolutely unable to stem the fast
rushing current.
"The water came so fast that men
on the east side who started to give
the alarm. failed to reach the bridges
before they were swept from their
foundations. Loaded freight cars
were tossed on the top of the rushing
waters like corks.'

of the president of the Bank of Briggs
dale. was attempting rescue work from
house on the east bank of the river,
from its foundations. He was thrown
into the icy water but managed to
clutch a heavy table and with this as
support kept his head above water.
He was carried far down stream but
finally a cross-current seemed to catch
the table and il was carried close in
shore, where men who had been trying
for hours to get a rope to him dragged
him ashore. He will recover.
1t Is stated that an epidemic of diph-

DIR. w. T.. Black, the health officer
there, reports that there are not less

The one-year-old daughter of Sam
Jones. a farmer living near Delaware,
was rescued alive from a raft, impro-

box which had fioated far down the
creek near Delaware. The fate of the
parents is unknown.
