THOUSANDS LOSE.
THEIR HOMES IN
WESTERN FL GODS

Chicago, Jan. pa cold wave said
by the weather bureau to be- sweeping
eastward from the Rocky Mountain
region today was held out as bringing
hope for relief from flood conditions
which prevailed in northern Illinois
and neighboring states yesterday as
the result OF heavy rains Following q
rapid rise in temperature.
Thousands Of persons temporarily
were made homeless and the loss is
Of dollars. Several cities were also
facing a possibility of epidemic as the
result of pollution of their drinking
water by the flood,
Reports reaching Chicago early to-
day told of extensive damage in the
territory within a radius of SO miles
of Chicago. Hundreds of farms in
the Fox, Des PLANES, Rock and other
river valleys, are Inundated and there
are reports of further damage.
F'olIette,s Aurora and Rlgin, Ill, s0f-
fered most from the flood. At all
three points dynamite was used to
break the jams which held the water
in check.
In Chicago sewers everhewed and
hundreds of Easements and subways
under railroad viaducts were flooded
so that traffic through them was inn
possible. Firemen were kept busy all
day pumping water
Serious damage also occurred in
Ottawa, La Sale, Rockford, Peoria,
Streator and Breeport, Ill, besides
many smaller cities, suburbs of Chi
cago.

PRICE OF CHIVALRY
SINKS TO JlTNEY A
CHIV IN RUSH HOUR
Men Get Off to Allow Won
en- on Car and Then
Can't Get Back.

The Connecticut Co.. patrons over
the North Main street division of the
local traction service are discussing
the price of cfiva1ry as it applies to
strap-hanging. In recent bear move
ment near Congress street in which
Chivalry issues declined materially,
the price was set at cents a, smash.
A crowded trolley car going north
from State street to Congress, a dis
lance which dequired about 20 min
utes to pass, stopped at Congress
street. where several women desired
to get on. The pay-as-you-ente was
jamned to the doors. The conductor
had waived his rule Of 'tpassengers put
money in box, and restorted to the old
col1ection-by-h hand method. Several
passengers on the rear platform who
had paid fares stepped off to aid the
women on. When that had been ac-
compIished, the men could not get
back SO that the doors would close.
The conductor was insistent upon
''move-Hp-front, pleaseI'' Sardines
were never closer and oil between the
passengers would not have aided the
stuf11ng-box situation.
Gentlemen, you will have to get
off, so I can shut the door, said the
conductor a1niab1y.
We've paid our fares,'' pleaded the
gallant ones.
Cant help it, said the conductor,
i've got to close the doors"
'fWelI, give us our money back, =
said the passengers.
II can't do that; it's in the box
said the conductor.
s. Whereupon all the DIRECTORS hung
upon the platform for fully Is minutes
when the doors were closed to an angle
of As degrees, thereby disproving that
9. pay-as-you-enter cannot be moved
until the doors are fully. closed I.
A report of the matter to Superin-
tendent- Charles Chapman has result
ed in an Improvement. Last night
during the rush hours cars were run
on South Main street, every other car
switching at Main and Gilbert streets
and returning north. This greatly
aided the waiting passengers and the
company today was de1uged with con-
gratuIatfons. It is believed that SINH
lar switching operations of alternate
cars viii further facilitate travel in the
rush hours.
Incidentally. reports have come to
the ears Of police authorities that New
Haven-bound cars have been 50 over
or divided that passengers chung to rear
tenders outside the vestibules in i'm
minent danger to their persons, and
that policemen along the routes made
no attempt to interfere.
