ropean wars Of the eighteenth CEN

island by the British during several
periods of the Napoleonic wars added
further to the Importance Of the chief
port, Charlotte Amalie, where mer-
chant vessels rode at anchor in the
magnificent land-locked harbor while
waiting for conveys to protect them on
Che voyage across the Atlantic
This town of Charlotte Amalie, with
a population of less than ten thou
sand, mainly negroes, is still an i'm
portant coaling station for steamers
in the West Indian trade. With a
depth of from q to 36 feet Of water,
the roadstead can accommodate the

ty-one square miles. 1t is scarce
ly more than a ten-mile noun
tain ridge with but one distinguishing
feature, Coral bay, the best harbor Of
refuge in the Antilles. Cruxbay, a vii.
lage of 1000 inhabitants on the north
ern shore, is the center of population.
While Danish is the official language
Of the islands, English is quite gem
orally spoken. The monotony OF ex.
istence is not infrequently broken by
earthquakes and hurricanes.
If Denmark decides to part with
these islands there will remain to her
only two colonial possessions-Green-
land and Iceland, which have an aggre-
gate area more than five times as large
as the mother country, but with only
one-twenty-seventh the population. The
1873 square miles of Denmark's West
Indian territory sustain nearly three
times as many people as the 46.740

Plans for reclaiming the Zuider ZeI

BREAKS.
Big Property Damage at Win

ing Water!
COLLEGE BUILDINGS INJURED
lood Swept over First Floors to
Depth of Six Feet-No Deaths
Reported.

A 200-foot section of Winfield's new
city reservoir, recently completed,
weakened by the .reavy rains the other
day, suddenly gave way and liberated
more than 100000 gallons of water,
which rushed in a terrific flood down
the west side of the reservoir hill,
tearing up everything in its path un-
til the great force of the torrent had
been broken by spreading out over a
considerable area. The greatest dam
age was uone to the St. Johns col
lege buildings, which were struck by
the rushing waters which flooded the
basement of both buildings and swept
over the first floors to the depth of
six or eight feet.
Cottonwood trees foot in diameter
were broken down and huge masses
of reinforced cement weighing more
than hundred tons were carried
half way to College street. Many
residences along Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth avenues were damaged and
lawns and gardens destroyed. Warn
ing given a few moments before the
break enabled everybody to get out of
the path of the flood. The damage is
estimated at $4,000.

HAD $l4,5OO IN NARCOTICS
Or. katz of Wichita Dispensed Big
Lot Of Drugs Within Nine
Months.

Figures obtained by the internal
revenue officers at Wichita from rec
ords seized in raid on the headquar-
ters of DR.. C. l.. Katz show a total of
$14,510 worth of morphine and gum
opium.
, That amount which the revenue of
ficers consider conservative esti-
mate, represents narcotics handled
by the doctor between September 6
and May 25. In the nine months,
Lap bottles of morphine in 40-bottle
lots, were received by Katz, according
to the confiscated records. Valuing
that at the rate which Katz asked for
the one bottle sold in Kansas City to
a revenue inspector in disguise, the
whole was worth $7,21O Twenty and
three-fourth pounds of raw opium
were ordered by Katz in the nine
months.
The revenue exacted by the govern
ment on smoking opium is $500 a
pound and would have been $4,000 If
paid on smoking opium made from
the raw opium. This valuation on the
opium handled by Katz does not take
into consideration it's real price in the
dispensing and is very low estimate,
the revenue officers believe.
Doctor Katz was arrested in Kan
sas City two weeks ago at the Union
Station while keeping an appointment
with Pauline Jones, his Kansas City
agent, who was under arrest.
