the business district.
Starting shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Pueblo's fire whistles
sounded the flood alarm. At that hour
both the Arkansas and the Fountain
were rising rapidly from the cloud
bursts that prevailed during the day.
Hundreds of persons took warning,
gathered a few belongings and sought
safety in the hills around the city.
Others paid no attention to the warm
ing. Many of these paid with their
lives.
The floods swept into the city prop
er about o'clock. Police and guards
drove the crowds back from the main
bridges where the people had taken
refuge. In half an hour water was
pouring over the top of the ratings
of bridges and the main business sec
ton was inundated. Street cars stop
ped, electric lights went off. In the
darkness could be heard the roar of
the onrushing waters and the crash OF
falling buildings. A rain was falling
to add to the discontinue. Here and
there with the flashes OF lightning
spectators could see small houses float
ing about. Over In the railroad yards

ment lay OVeTLurHtus anu out VI SHc
night came the cries of the stricken
women and children, all appealing for
help.
scores Risk Lives
Scores of strong men risked their
lives to bring women and children to
safety. The Colorado rangers, the po-
lice and troop c, of the Colorado Nat
ional Guard, bent to the work of res
cue. Scores of persons alive in Pueb-
10 tonight owe their lives to the bravery
of the men of these organizations and
scores of volunteers. Then came the
fires. A flash of lightning burst.
There was a crash and in the Hight OF
the next flash building was DIS
closed In flames. There was no water
to combat the blaze. So 1t swept on.
1t swept through the Florman Paint
company, the gas plant, the ice plant,
moved down big garages in its path
and then attacked the yards Of the
King 1nvestmentfand Lumber company.
All were laid in waste.

STRENGTH
FOUND NOT GUILTY
BY SUPREME COURT
Court Split on Reaching the
Verdict, Four to Three, in
Favor of Retaining

Montgomery, June 4.-(Special.)--
John Strength, sheriff of Gilmore

Clellan. A. II. Sayre and B. M. Miller
voted not guilty, while Associate JUS
tice Ormond Somerviile, Lucien D.
Gardner and William II. Thomas voted
guilty. 1t is not improbable that ma
jority and minority opinions will be
prepared in view of the several issues
presented in the case.
The court made no mention of the
latest development brought about
when Harwell @. Davis, attorney gen
eral, and Judge Horace Wilkinson,
special prosecutor, filed motion to
amend the information by inserting
the words, against the peace and dig

In describing the trip from Denver
to Pueblo which was successfully aca
complished in spite of adverse flying
weather, Kimsey said:
Several times on the way down we
were lost in the clouds, but flew ahead
on the chance there would be a hols

we sighted on the down trip were

Kimsey said the roads were intact
between Denver and Colorado Springs
and traffic could be seen moving along
without great difficulty. South OF
Colorado Springs he said everything
appeared like ghostly no-man's land.

Central Park Conditions.
Evidences Of Neylect Seen Away
From the Main Drives.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II would
be interesting to learn what Is meant
by ,the bigger things" to which Mr..
5udge refers In his letter on condi-
tions In Central Park and which he
classes as improvements. If he refers
to repairs to the east and west drives.
where many. many thousands OF dollars
were spent that automobiles could speed
through In greater ease and comfort.
then probably he is right.
The immediate vicinity OF the two
main drives gives no idea of conditions
existing elsewhere In the park. To see
1t In it's decadence one would have to
alight from ones car and traverse the
various paths. Then the visitor would
observe that the park as whole Is
neglected" Workmen and policemen
who have been stationed In the park
for years confirm every statement have
made.
The destruction OF shrubbery, the kill
ing Of all small animals and feathered
things which add attractiveness to the
park, and the additional fact that ac-
tion on the part of anybody not In off,
cial clothing to stop such wanton out
rage invites assault, are matters dis
missed with the statement that 80 long
as we have boys with us we will have
these things happen" Further COM
ment Is useless. THOMAS MAXWELL.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Winds Of the night Of shadows blown

Why must you haunt my easement under

With voices of ghosts forgotten In the
rustic of withered leaves?
Winds Of the night of sadness. calling
me as you creep.
Whispering there in the lowlands, where
the dark of night Is deep;
Crying Of days forgotten. signing for
dreams long sped.
Why must you blow gray ghosts again
from graves OF the vanished dead?
There Is a voice in the shadows. voice
from a bygone day;
A song from the heart OF springtime.
blown from the fields OF May;
Clear as the woodland ripple from the
roll of silver stream.
And the night Is sweet with music ana
the dark with an old, old dream.
Winds Of the night OF winter. mere
have come for rest,
For peace In the gloom of my lonesome
room as bird may seek It's nest.
Why must you haunt my easement under
the rain wet caves
With voices Of ghosts forgotten In the
rustic of withered leaves?

Our National Anthem.
Does "The Star Spangled Banner"
Express American Sentiments

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: beg to
dispute the statements made by Mrs.
Scott in the letter In which she deplores
the singing Of America" in preference
to 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" at the
Armistice Day ceremonies at Arlington.
careful study Of the words and
music from a standpoint Of origin and
sentiment will be convincing enough
that america" Is by far the more ap-
propriate anthem for such an occasion
or any other occasion. "The Star Span
gled Banner" Is not an expression Of
the idealism of America-the United
States. The words were born in a mo-
ment Of malice and revenge and the
music adopted from an old English
drinking song. 1t is not our national
anthem and shall never be impressed
upon us as such. The realization Of
Anglo-American unity is not to be re-
tarded by the perpetuation Of such anti
British sentiments as expressed by Tho
Star Spangled Banner"
The feelings Of Francis Scott Key at
the time he wrote the words are not
those Of Americans to-day. II has never
been a popular anthem and 1t Is time
for its consignment to the discard as
wholly obsolete. Americans are capa-
BILE Of producing something higher and
essentially American. Instead of "rock-
cts red glare" bombs bursting in air"
and foes naughty host" let us have
something about beating our swords into
poughshares and loving our neighbors
brother natlons-as ourselves. Such
realization OF disarmament.

Exonerating the Coast Guard.

After the drowning of eleven fisher
men off Hereford Inlet bar, New
Jersey, on October 81 the Coast
Guard crews AZ Anglesea and Stone
Harbor stations were adversely criti.
cised by some persons. who asserted
that they had been laggard in search.
ing for the imporilIed men when
news of their pligfc was circulated
along shore. SO persistent was the
criticism that eventually coronsr's
jury investigated the matter. It's yer.
dict has been rendered and it consti-
tutes complete exoneration of the
coast guards.
AS this vindication OF the crews OF
Anglesea and Stone Harbor stations
is recorded by men Of the vicinity
familiar with the sea and with local
associations which would give them
particular interest in the tragedy. 1t
carries conviction with it.
THE NEW YORK HERALD corgratu-
lates the Coast Guard on the formal
refutation of the charges that were
brought against II. The high repu-
tation of the service for fearlessness,
skill and devotion remains untar-
nishSd, as do the good names Of the
inditiduals in the crews concerned.
