Flood Falling in Kansas,
No More Damage Feared
Rumorea Fatalities Not Def
nitely Established; Tracks
and Bridges Washed Out

TOPEKA, Kan. June 6.-The crest
of the food penetrating Kansas is
decreasing steadily, according to re-
ports reaching Santa Fe officers here
to-day. They expressed the belief that
the damage in Kansas would not be
larger. No loss of life has been def
nitely established thus far. Many
county bridges were washed away.
The Arkansas River flood, which
swept down from eastern Colorado,
filed the river at Syracuse and sent
farmers and ranchmen living in the
bottoms hurrying to the highlands.
Inc Amity darn, five miles west of
Topeka, was reported to have given way
'and the telephone operator said the
town Of Annity was completely washed
away with possible loss of life.
4. TCtr persons whe were detailed to
keep driftwood from the piers of a
wagon bridge are reported to have
gone down with the bridge into the
main current of the river.
The work of rebuilding the Santa Ise
track into Pueblo will begin Thursday,

day. About one hundred miles Of the
track were affected by the food. but

Exempt the Dog
From ViyisectiOn.
Demands DIR. Mayo
Warns Surgeons Mans Best
Friend Can Be Spared
From Experimental Table;
Ban ON Beer Is Opposed

BOSTON, June 6.--Dr. William j..
Boston Surgical Society tonight that
animal experimentation had become
one Of the foundation stones of prog
ress and had resulted in "gifts Of in
estisnable value to humanity" He
warned the surgeons, however, that if
they wished to continue this work they
must protect the dog from "the wan
ten experimenter."
"The activities Of anti vivisection-
lists" DR.. Mayo said, seriously
threaten the continuance Of these in
vestigations, which are Of such para
mount Importance to the nations
health. 1t is undoubtedly true that op-
position to animal experimentation has
been brought about by physicians
themselves. For at least 1900 years
the dog has been mans friend and COM
panion, and the practice OF buying
stolen family pets at small prices for
animal experimentation has alienated
the public"
Use of the Sunday newspapers as a
connecting link between the profess
sional doctor and the laymen was sug-
eested to-day by Dr. Dwight Murray,
of Syracuse, N. Y, speaker Of the
House OF Delegates of the American
Medical Association.
Physicians should take the public
into their confidence to larger degree
than they have in the past, DR.. Murray
declared in an address at the opening
session of the House Of Delegates
meeting here.
His view was upheld by Dr. Hubert
Work, of Pueblo, Col, the president
elect of the association, who said
achievements in medicine had been
hidden from the public because there
had been no means OF displayin them.
DR.. Murray suggested first the estab-
lishment of lay health journal.
Another plan, which might be fol-
lowed in case this was not feasible"
Dr. Murray said, would be to appoint
editors and create demand for a
medical feature section of the 900
great Sunday papers in this country,
taking a different subject or different
phases of popular subject for each
Issue"
More than 100 physicians of this city
to-day petitioned Senator David /.
Walsh to oppose the amendment to the
Volstead act prohibiting prescription
of beer and wine. The petitioners as
serted that in their opinion "beer and
light wine have valuable medicinal
qualities"

against tie present onerous Federal
restrictions on the manufacture, pre-

PUEBLO, June 6.--There is a high
hin in the center of Pueblo from which
one can look out on the most appalling
scene of destruction and misery this
section of the West has ever witnessed
From its top can be seen the crumbline
business district of the stricken city
and miles of mudwashed streets in the
valley of the Arkansas and Fountain
rivers.
In the city below troops are patrol
ling. The streets are buried iD mud
and slime, swept through them by tor
rents of water never cQualed since
white men settled here. Buildings and
lumber yards are eharred ruins. In
public buildings and churches thou
sands of homeless are existing. There
is food, they can keep warm and they
are happy that their Lives have been
spared. The water and gas plants are
out of commission; communication is
stopped. Daily an airplane from Den
yer sails over to survey the disaster
and report the progress of the city in
its recovery.
AS morning came to-day, the third
day of the flood, the city seemed para
lyzed. But as the day wore on it be-
dazed and stunned yesterday, was pull
sating with new life. Citizens were
busy righting the wreckage as the
water slowly receded They were not
dismayed by the renewal Of the rain
last night, for the water was out of
most of the business section this morn
ing
AS citizens toiled to-day at digging
the city out of the mud Or searched
wreckage for bodies they compared
stories of the disaster. Some poignant
and dramatic incidents were revealed.
On cottage lodged against one of
the piers of the Denver & Rio Grande
bridge over the Arkansas River two
kittens huddled in the rain.
At another place dog stood guard
ers were waiting for the water to re-
eede further to hunt for the body they
believed the dog was watching over
1t was the river bottoms along the
Arkansas that suffered the create st
damage. And it was the people least
able to withstand the losses who saw
everything they possessed, except here
and there picture of saint or a
tawdry bit of jewelry, swept away in
the swirling waters.
To-day the central Santa Fe River
bottom is laboriously scraping and dig
ging and paving its way from beneath
wreckage that can hardly be realized
even in q two-hours' walk over the
soaking, stench-emitting ground
Little, wizened shawl -drapped women

WASHINGT ON, June 6.~-Activity at
the War Department, at the Red Cross
headquarters and at the Capitol, in the
purpose to do all things practicable
for the relief of the Pueblo and other
food sufferers in Colorado, was in evil
dence to-day, apart from the fact that
the President issued an appeal in be-
half of contributions for the stricken
people,
While Major General Dickman, at
San Antonio, in charge Of the corps
area in which Colorado is included, is
in direct charge of the War Depart
ment relief activities, Secretary Weeks
was kept in touch. He was advised
that supplies were being hurried from
Fort D. A. Russell in Wyoming and
Fort Logan at Little Rock. Nurses are
being sent to Pueblo from Fitzsim-
mons Hospital, Denver, as well as else
where.
Senators Phipps and Nicholson, of
Colorado, and Representative Hardy,
in whose district Pueblo is situated,
conferred at the Capitol this after
noon with view to taking the initia-
tive toward any Congressional action
that might be necessary. The city
commission of Pueblo wired Mr.. Har-
ding, urging that Congress appropriate
S5,000,000 at once for relief of the
flooded region.
The message said S2,o00,000 was
greatly needed at once to repair the
levees of the rivers, the Arkansas and
Fountain, and to remove the debris
President James L, Lovera and others
Of the commission who signed the tele-
gram predictea the loss OF life would
be several hundred and more. They
said the debris and wreckage made an
accurate count impossible.
The telegram estimated the damage
in the city and county of Pueblo at
from s6ooO,ooo to s1o,Oooooo and that
from Canyon City to the state line at
S15,000,00 to S20,000,000.>
Senators Phipps and Nicholson and
Mr.. Hardy talked over the question of
an appropriation from Congress. Be-
fore making any move, however, they
will consult with the President and
Secretary Weeks.
Indications are that while Congress
will stand ready to make an appropria-
tion for RELIEF, it will not appropriate
for rehabilitation of damage to the
flooded area.
