MAY MOVE SCHOOL
State to Take Action If Water
Is Not Turned On.
State Board to Confer Over
Situation at Olathe.

If the water dispute between the
state and city officials of Olathe be
not ironed out, the state will doubt
less remove the deaf and dumb school
te another town next fall. The school
is now closed for the summer vaca-
tfon and action of Olathe officials in
shutting off the states water supply is
not causing immediate suffering
This afternoon Governor Allen will
confer with members of the state
board of administration regarding the
Olathe water situation. In few days
a. conference with Olathe officials is
expected. =

does not believe the situation will

the state regarding claims for water
service may be irohed out at the con-

TO Be. BIG WEEK
Battles in Prospect Over Ger

BOrah Disarmament Plan May
Disrupt Congress.

Washington, June 6.-Congress to-
day entered upon turbulent week.
Fight was in the air on both house
and senate sides at the capitol. Two
of the expected battles, oddly enough,
were in prospect over the making of
peace with Germany and the Borah
plan for disarmament, both most pa
cific measures.
Here are some of the items on con-
gress' trouble list for this week:
The peace resolution to bring about
a technical state of peace with Ger
many.
The senate passed the Knox resolu-
ton repeating the war declaration:
the house this week is to debate and
pass the Porter substitute resolution
which does not repeal the war declara-
ton. but simply declares the war at
an end. !
The Borah disarmament proposal
which house Republicans are deter
mined to broaden to include land dis
armament as well as naval and all the
principal nations instead of just the
United States, Great Britain and JAP

The Kansas governor is ready to is
sue a proclamation as soon as word

ceived- He stated. tho, that he did
not wish to take action until he heard
from Governor Shoup, altho he is
ready to take any possible action to
aid sufferers in the sister state.
Await Word from Gov Shoup.
"I am ready to issue a proclamation
imm ediately." Governor Allen said at
today's conference with press repre-
sentatiyes. 1T is my desire. tho, to
first receive some word from Cover

the flood victims. / sent a telegram
to him early this morning and am
merely Withholding action until his
reply is received"
No news of heavy losses demanding
state aid had been received from any
of the Kansas towns affected by the
Arkansas river flood. State officials
familiar with conditions along the Ar
kansas, believe Kansans have had am
pie time in which to remove theil
/ livestock and reach places of safety

ECHO OF TULSA RACE RIOTS
Negro Appeals to Govegnor Allen for
Protection Against Extradition.

An echo of the Tulsa race riots
reached Governor Aliens office today
when J.. B. Stradford, a negro, ap-
pealed to the governor for protection
against extradition to Oklahoma
Stradford wired the governor from In
dependence, where he is presumed. to
be under arrest. Reports from Tulsa
indicate Stradford is wanted on a
charge of being an agitator and aiding
in inciting the riot.
It is probable that the Stradford
case will be brought to Topeka this
week. The negro us believed to have
fled to this state for protection when
a complaint was issued in connection
with investigation of the Tulsa race
trouble of last week
The governor today granted requisi-
tfoHs on governors of Colorado and
Missouri for return to this state of
men wanted for violation of Kansas
statutes. Governor Hyde of Missouri
was ASKED to return Lewis w. Sharp,
wanted in Butler county on a charge
OF wife and child desertion. He is
now under arrest in Boone county, Mo.
Governor ShoIp of Colorado was
asked to honor a requisition for return
to Sedgwick county of ]. C. McKib-
ben, wanted for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. McKibben. now
under arrest at Lamar, is alleged to
have sold hogs for another man, but
failing to account for s1,13e from the

FLOODS FALL IN KANSAS
Pueblo Torrent Should Drop to
-Four Feet at Hutchinson Tomor-
row Morning, Santa Fe Reports.

As the floodwaters of the Arkansas
penetrate Kansas, reports show that
the height of the crest is decreasing
steadily The flood was twelve feet
high when it left Pueblo late Saturday
night. At Holly. the last station in
Colorado on the Santa Fe, it was only
nine feet this morning.
At noon the crest was reported at
Pierceviile, Kan. ? thirty-five miles
west of Dodge City. and was only
seven feet in height --r
The estimates of Santa Ee officials
are that the crest will reach Dodge
City, at, about six feet at 8 o'clock
this afternoon; Larned. about o'clock
this evening. at five feet, and at
Hutchinson, which the crest should
reach early Tuesday morning. the rice
will not be more than four feet.
Santa Fe officials are optimistic as
to the amount of damage which is
likely to be done in Kansas as the
force of the flood is spent in the wild c
valley of the Arkansas river. Il
