l2-F Boa Holds Record as Largest
 Caught In Hoboken
By Asscclated Press

New York. June 4.-Svengali, a 12-foot boaconstrictor, sleepily dozed In a cage at the Bronx park zoo today, apparently unmindful Of the fact that to him went the honor of being the largest snake ever captured in Hoboken.
 svensali was rudely disturbed from his slumbsrs on board the steamer Coppename when ship wriehts repairing the vessel tore out blanks upon which he was re- pe sing. The reptile was not down on the cargo list of the vessel. but arrived as stowaway.
 The theory was advanced that he crawled aboard through a port hole when tree root upon which he was riding fioated by the yes gel, which had decked at a tropical port. Floods have been prevalent in the tropics and it was thought EveDEali was washed adrift when he took refuge on the root.
 The boa was stunned by fall caused when the Hoboken work men tore away his resting place. and they immediately boxed him up and sent him to the ZOO.

Pueblo, Col, June 4.-In the grip of disaster all Pueblo seemed stunned today. All day long refugees, dazed and seemingly not knowing what to do, struggled about the undiscovered streets. Mothers with babies in their arms, mothers whose arms were empty, old men and women and peo- pie of every description wandered about until gathered up and taken to headquarters established this aft ernoon by the Red Cross. There they were fed and allowed to rest.
 With everything swept away but the clothes on their backs and the few things they carried in lit bbn- dles many moaned and cried. while others tried to find relatives and friends. The courthouse was thrown open and served as a canteen and hospital. St Marys hospital one of the principal hospitals in the city. was cut off by the Arkansas river waters and volunteer workers today brought equipment from 1t to the court house where aid could be given the injured and dying.
 All morning motor cars moved up Main street carrying bodies on the lenders, each body covered with mud.

A Roun- tree, director general of the associa- ton, to Harry Welch. secretary of the chamber of commerce. In the first Director Rountree says:

We have told them that it is of the greatest importance that we have a large delegation in attendance. that cheap rates will be put on by the railroads, that the people of Arizona will entertain them in lavish manner. and that it will give them an opportunity to see the great West"
 In his second letter Rountree re- fers to the publicity which is con- templated. He says:
