LOSS TO SANTA Re.
Property and Ranch Lands Damaget
in Cimarron River Bottoms.

E. T. Cartridge, general tax COM
missioner Of the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fee railway, received word this
morning from ranches and real estate
men along the property lines Of the
Santa Fee in the CimarrOn bottom land
indicating that the railroad lost thou
sands Of dollars in property and hay
lands in Morton. Haskell, Grant, Sew
ard and Stevens counties.
Letters state that the water came
early Friday morning in a wall ten
feet in height Families had no time
to leave their houses. many of them
staying in the second floor until the
flood .receded. Thousands of cows
and calves were feeding on the new
grass of the lowlands-they were
swept away and drowned. The two
children Of Perry Brite, living seven
miles north Of Elkhart, were lost. Big
houses on the Barney Cow ranch on
Santa Fe land were demolished.
Everything was lifted to the crest of
the flood like chaff, the information
relates. asl 4t az 81
The Santa Fe Land Improvement
company owns 2O.OO5 acres of land
along the Cimarron valley in Morton,
Haskell, Grant. Seward, Stevens and
Gray counties. A large part Of this
was damaged by the recent flood. If
the deposits of the waters are not too
heavy it is figured that the soil will
be fertilized. The rains, officials
state, greatly improved conditions as
a whole in that country.

TO CAUCUS OR NOT.
House Democrats Face to Face With
Prohibition Question.

Washington, May THE question
of whether there should be . caucus
of house Democrats to determine the
party policy on the Hobson resolution
for national prohibition through an
amendment to the constitution, was
being discussed in the house today.
The movement. however. has not yet
reached the stage Of securing sigma
lures to a petition calling for q eau
Gus.
The Mondell resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment to provide for
woman suffrage which was reported
to the house Tuesday along with the
recommendation by the judiciary
committee. also figured in the gossip
relative to a possible call for a eau
Gus. A Democratic caucus Of the pres
ent congress has already declared suf-
frage to be e local, and not a national
question and any caucus action on the
subject would have to be in the form
of a setting aside Of caucus dictum, 1t
successful.
House Democrats were inclined to
the view today that the prohibition
force It to vote. would
carry. II caucus is called on
prohibition, it probably will be with a
view to directing the rules committee
to report q rule to permit immediate
consideration OF the proposed ConSc1.
tutiona1 amendment.
The rules committee met today to
consider a rule to expedite the Rucker
measure to provide machinery for pop
ular election Of United States senator's.
The prospects were that 1t would re-
port such a rule. The committee will
not act on either the suffrage or pro-
hfbition matters until they have been
passed upon by caucus. The commit
tee will consider within, two or three
days an omnibus rule for expedition in
the house Of the presidents antitrust
program.

DIR. COOK IN GAINESVILLE

Gainesville Sun: DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, the Attic explorer who
claims-and many people believe
he was the first white man to reach
the north pole, delivered his lecture
to a fair-sized audience at the Lyric
theater Monday night. The pic
lures he took in his travels and his
narrative of the trip were interest
ing to all, to a majority of whom it
made little difference whether he
actually reached the North Pole or
not.
He closed his lecture by paying
his respects to Admiral Peary and
others whom many honestly believe
have unjustly bounded" Dr. Cook
for the past four years. Dr. Cook
is at a disadvantage with Peary in
that the latter has the backing of
political and naval cliques, but to
the average layman he presents as
good evidence that he reached the
North Pole as does Peary.
The late Admiral Schley was one
naval officer who sided with Dr.
Cook, and the latter has a large
following throughout the country,
especially in the South, where many
believe he has been deprived of his
justly earned honors through a nav
al clique.

but bore all her suffering with a
sweet. patient fortitude, never MUIR
muring or complaining. She had the
best attention and nursing and all
that loving hands could do was done
for her comfort. The funeral services
were held at the Baptist church
here and were conducted by Rev. z.
Crumpton, of Fellowship. The body
was laid to rest in the cemetery
nearby, and the mound was almost
covered with beautiful flowers. De-
spite the inclemency of the weather,
large crowd gathered to pay their
last respects and to show the esteem
they felt for the family. The entire
community sympathizes with the
bereaved ones.

CARRANZA APPOINTS
A COMMISSION
To Investigate the Death of Benton,
but it Will Probably be Eco
nomical with the Truth

Washington, March Announce
ment of Gel. Venustiano CarranZa,
constitutionalist commander-in-chie
that he had appointed a commission
to investigate the recent execution
of William S. Benton, a British SUBJ
ject coupled with the declaration
from Great Britain that she would
not look to the United States for
action as a result of the incident, is
generally accepted as meaning the
abandonment of the expedition of
American and British representa-
tives who were to have gone to Chi
huahua to examine Benton's body.
One Of the reasons why there is
little tendency to press the inquiry
on the part of the United States or
Great Britain is the fact that Ben
tons body, already has decomposed
considerably, and evidence of con-
elusive character as yet undisclosed
has been in the hands of officials for
several days.

FEDERALS LOST In
A NAVAL FIGHT
Two of their Gunboats Driven Off BIZ
the Rebel Steamer Tampico

the Rebel Steamer Tampico
Tobolobampo, Mex, March s.
The first naval engagement OF the
Mexican revolution ended yesterday
at Tobolobampo, after a half hour
of ineffective firing between the rebel
warship Tampico and the federal
gunboats Morelos and Guerrero,
which steamed down from Guaymas
for the attack.
The Tampico remained at Tobolo-
bampo after the crew had mutinied
and turned the little vessel over to
the Carranza forces. The Morelos
and Guerrero arrived off Tobolo-
bampo and opened fire at long range.
The Tampico remained inside the
harbor while the federal ships took
positions outside in the Gulf of Cal
ifornia
The Tampico's guns seemed to
have a longer range than those of
the federal gunboats and the latter
drew away.

Under section of the new pri-
mary election law, any political par
ty which cast more than five per
cent. of the entire vote cast in the
state at the last general election
must nominate it's candidates in the
primary of June 2 If it fails to do
that, it cannot have the names of it's
candidates on the ticket in the gen.
eral election
Five per cent. of 81 1891, the total
vote cast, is 1855. Therefore, any
party that cast more than 1856
votes is bound by the primary cleo
rights to participate as a party, in
the general election next fall.
AS four of the five parties each
cast more than five per cent. of the
total vote, they must go into the pri-
mary if they desire to continue to
exist. The prohibition party, which
cast only 1854 votes, cannot go into
the primary, but may nominate its
candidates by petition Or convention.
Section 81 of the primary election
law requires that each executive
committee shall meet not later than
March Is of each general election
year and fix an assessment upon
candidates of not exceeding two per
cent of the annual salary of the Of
flee sought. A copy of the resolu-
ton fixing such assessment must
then be certified to the clerk Of the
circuit court. if it applies to county
primary; or to the secretary of
state, if it applies to a congressional
or state primary.
Under the law, four political par
ties are entitled to participate in the
primary, but they cannot do so I'M
less their respective executive COM
mittees hold all their meetings not
later than March Is. As March 1 5
this year falls on Sunday, those
meetings must be held not later than
one week from next Saturday.
