That baseball pool tickets are sold
in Harrisburg was admitted to-day by
Captain of Police Joseph p. Thomp-

City Awaits Governors
Action on Bills Before
Collecting License Fees

Just what steps the city will take
now relative to collecting license fees
from insurance agents and companies,
in view of President Judge Kunkeis
decision yesterday in the William II.
Bushnell appeal. will probably not be
decided until after Governor Brum-
baugh acts upon legislation, recently
passed by the State Assembly relative
to the subject and which is now on the
Governors desk.
BY Judge Kunkel's decision the city
may collect the fee, although the ap-
pellant contended in a test case, that
an act of Assembly precluded the Ii
censng of agents of this character by
the city. The Court held that the Clark
act. upon which the city's license tax
ordinance was based, vas passed sub
sequently to the insurance act and that
ii invalidated the special insurance tax
act.
The Court sustained John +. Dare's
contention that the city may not levy
a license tax upon owners of automo-
bile garage who erect such structures
for their own uses.

Seriously Handicapped by
High Water
WARNINGS BEING SENT OUT
In Chicago Downpour Ceased For
a Few Hours and Then Re-
sumed With Force
WARNINGS BEING SENT OUT
Sbccfai to The T'eleRrdth


Chicago, MAY 29-Rain and light
ming storms, floods and high winds
which have swept over Kansas, West
ern Missouri, Oklahoma. Arkansas and
sections of Illinois and the Central
States generally, have caused the loss
of at least Is lives and the destruc-
ton of an immense amount of prop
erty. To-day with the downpour
ceasing in some parts of this wide
spread area. flood conditions were Sc
rious and the submerged area was in
creasing in proportions. Travel to
the west of Kansas City is seriously
handicapped and in many cases trains
have been annulled. Levees along the
Arkansas river continued to break to-
wide reach of territory, and the
worst flood in it's history was sweeping
down the Arkansas valley.
To the South Arkansas was perhaps
the heaviest sufferer. There were
many streams out of their banks and
reported rising. People living in
lowlands along all streams were fore
ed to flee.
At North. Platte, Neb., business has
been suspended because of flooded
streets. All along the Platte river
the water was the highest in years and
the crest was not yet in sight.
Flood warnings have been sent out
to residents along the Des Moines
river and other streams in Iowa. In
Des Moines hundreds of people moved
to higher ground for the night and to-
day awaited the passing of the food.
Throughout Illinois the rain of the
past three or four days has broken all
records. Approximately four inches
of rain has fallen in the vicinity of
Peoria and train schedules in that sec
tion of the State were only partially
maintained.
In Chicago the rain which ceased
for a few hours during the night, re-
sumed its demoralizing downpour this
morning. The weather bureau report
ed that the damp area was passing to
the east and rain was reported as far
in that direction as the Alleghenies.

SLOW FREIGHT To
CLOSE DOWN SUNDAY
Expect Busy Day on Monday /;
Monthly Movement Shows
Increase in Spurts

Slow Freight on the Pennsylvania
railroad will shut down this evening
at o'clock. until midnight Sunday.
Indications are that Monday will be a
busy day. Trainmen will get no holi-
day.
While freight business for May has
been below normal, it is feared that a
shut down for two days may cause a
congestion of slow freight at some
terminals. Another argument against
a Monday shut down, is, that it is the
last day of May. Heads of freight de-
partment and clerks must file their
monthly reports promptly and COM
plete holiday on Monday would inter-
fere with this rule.
Freight movement during May has
shown slight increase in spurts. Fig
ures to date indicate that the total
amount of business will not be far in
advance of that during May, 1914.
