HEAVY RAIN FLOODS ST.LOUIS
Suburbs West and South of City
Isoiated-Steam and Trolley
Service AnnuiIed.

St. Louis, Aug. 21.-The great storm
that devastated the Texas gulf coast
on last Monday and Tuesday and then
swept northward, struck st. Louis with
diminished fury last night and today,
bringing with it the heaviest down
pour in the history of the city and
causing a flood that drove hundreds
of town and suburban residents from
their homes. At o'clock this evening
the rainfall since the storm began was
sos inches. Though the storm at no
time reached cyclOnic proportions, the
water swept down the streets in
sheets.
The flood in st. Louis was due to
backwater in the storm sewers in the
western part of the city and a rise
in the River Des Peres, which went
out of its banks and flooded part Of
the populous suburbs of Maplewood
and Greenwood, interrupted train serv-
ice on three railroads and caused an
annullment OF car service to suburban
towns.
Suburbanites who managed to get
to the city this morning were unable
to return home tonight and the First
Regiment armory and the Coliseum
were thrown open to accommodate
them.

BOTKIN WILL FIGHT
Former Warden of State Peni-
Tertiary to Resist Charges
Brought Against Him.
WILL CARRY CASE TO COURT
Motions Questioning Legislative Com
missions Jurisdiction Promptly
OverruIed in Topeka.

The attorneys for ]. D. Botkin, war
den of the Kansas penitentiary, lost
out in their preliminary skirmishes
before the legislative commission and
practically served notice on the legis-
a lawsuit in the supreme court if the
findings were adverse to Botkin.
The attorneys for the warden filed
three motions questioning the juris-
diction of the commission and asking
that certain sections of the charges
be stricken out or made more definite
and certain. All were overruled. 1t
was set up that the legislature of 1911,
in enacting the general custer law,
had provided a single remedy for the
removal of officials.
When these motions were out of
the way the commission began the ex-
animation OF B. D. Jones, a dollhouse
officer in the prison. Jones brought
the original charges against Botkin.
He was discharged by Botkin in Oc-
tober, 1913. On the examination by
the members of the commission, Jones
said he and several other officers had
been discharged for political reasons
He also asserted that officers at the
prison became angry at each other
and would curse each oiler before the
prisoners and refuse to speak, and
that these actions tended to break
down the discipline in the prison.
Jones also told the commission that
prisoners were allowed to go outside
the prison walls and work for persons
One Of the gags that had been used

Bartlesville, Ok, Aug. 19.-After
months Of dickering the Usage lease
question, covering an acreage of 64O,-
600 acres in the eastern half of Usage
county, was settled today when repre-
sentatives Of the Interior Department
and members of the Usage council
reached an agreement in the Foster
lease question. Oil men, as well as
members of the tribe of Indians, won
a victory. The 4-S00-acre lease, which
has been the bone of contention, was

HUGE STORM LOSS IN TEXAS
Property Damage Will Reach
$4,000, 900.

Houston, Tex, Aug. 2O.-Known
dead outside of Galveston from Mon
day nights hurricane were 101, &C
cording to reports here tonight. Miss
ing outside of Galveston were 15S. Of
the missing list it was feared more
than half are dead The list OF miss
ing was reduced by LOG tonight, when
men from the dredges Sam Houston
and San Jacinto reported that all
hands were safe. In Galveston the
known dead number less than 20
The Galveston sea wall is intact, but
the causeway was washed out from
both east and west ends connecting
with the concrete work The draw
bridge was uninjured. The Galveston
Sea Wall Boulevard was washed away
for several blocks from Seventeenth
street east
The tented city at Fort Crockett,
housing four thousand United States
soldierskwas demolished. Two SOL
diers were drowned on the grounds.
All fires at Galveston are under con-
troll The fire damage alone will ex-
coed s35O,OOO
There is no train service in or out
of Galveston, and the telephone and
telegraph service also are out of COM
mission. The only transportation
from Galveston is by boat
In addition there was an enormous
loss to cotton growers in the storm
belt, some estimates stating that %
per cent of the crop of Central Texas
was destroyed and placing the loss at
millions of dollars
The oil fields also suffered severely
and it is probable that it will take a
half million dollars to replace de-
stroyed derricks, recap unroofed tanks
and repair damaged machinery.
Further comparison with the 1900
storm was furnished by W. E. Max
son, general superintendent of the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.
He telegraphed from Hitchcock, Tex,
that the gulf waters had been driven
inland to that point, seventeen miles
from Galveston, and added that in
other localities the sea had encroach-
ed three miles beyond its high mark
of fifteen years ago.
Port Arthur was hit hard by the
storm but only four of its residents
lost their lives. The exodus from that
city was unusually prompt, Beaumont
reporting that hundreds had come
there. Sabine and Sabine Pass were
reported as deserted and SUBJ
merged"
Extensive damage to shipping in
the harbor and along the docks, and
to the docks themselves, also resulted
from the hurricane. Several of the
piers were destroyed completely while
hundreds of small ones were lifted in
land and piled with debris high and
dry on the island

tiles in Texas have already started

Turks Reinforced.
1t now is evident that the fresh
landing of British troops at Suvia Bay,
on the Gallipoli Peninsula, robbed of
its element of surprise by the appear
ance of Turkish reinforcements, has
proved somewhat of disappointment,
the only gain being that another strip
Of the peninsula is in the possession
OF the Allies and more Turkish troops
being employed against them.
A powerful German fleet has been
attempting since August 8 to force an
entrance into the Gulf of Riga, which
would permit them to give assistance
to their army which occupies the west
ern coast of the gulf. The Russian of
fetal statement indicates that they
have achieved their purpose, probably
penetrating through the Dirgen Chan
mel, which is the only practicable way
for large ships to enter the gulf
German Fleet Strong.
The Russians asserted that their
warships and sea planes were success

battleships and twelve cruisers with
a large number of torpedo boat de-

attack merely was a reconnaissance
to determine the position of Russian

ers drove of Russian torpedo boats

warships protecting the entrance to
the gulf had drawn in closer owing to
the great superiority of the enemy

SINK Liner ARABIC

White Star Vessel Near
Where Lusitania Sank.
TWENTY OUT OF 423 ARE LOST
Two of Missing Persons Believed TO
Be Observation-Disclosures
Officials Shocked.

London, Aug. 20.-The big White
Star line steamer Arabic, formerly a
fayorite ship of the LiverpooIBostoE
service but which on her present triE
was on the way to New York, was tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine at 9:15 o'clock Thursday morn
ing southeast of Fastnet.

ment of the White Star line, was at
tackled without warning and went
down in ten minutes. Of the 423 per.
sons on board-1S1 passengers and 242
members of the crew-20 are missing

later by passing vessels and arrived in
Queenstown tonight. They are being
accommodated by the White Star line
in hotels and boarding houses in the
little town which so short a time age
cared for the survivors and the dead
of the Lusitania
Details of the sinking of the Arabic
are lacking, but that the loss of life
was not greater doubtless was due to
the fact that the weather was fine and
that steamers plying the German sub
marine war zone now keep their boats
swung out and otherwise prepare for
emergencies.
Washington Upset.
Washington, Aug. 2O.-News of the
torpedoing of the British steamer
Arabic of the White Star line with
Americans on board upset officials of
the United States government who
had hoped since the dispatch of the
last American note there would be no
further aggravation of an already
tense situation between the United
States and Germany.
Official information was meager.
and it was only through press dis
patches that it was heard here that
the vessel was torpedoed without
warning.
Wh1le 1t was recognized that a can
yass of the survivors might reveal
that no American lives were lost the
torpedoing without warning of a yes
sci carrying Americans has in itself
been pronounced by the United States
government as violation Of its
rights which if repeated would be re-
garded as deliberately unfriendIy."

New York, Aug. 2O.-The mail
aboard the Arabic, it was said at the
White Star line, consisted of twenty
eight hundred bags of letters and 1Se
