washington, June lS.-Wlt the
emergency relief accomplished, the
American Red Cross is well start
ed on its long task of rehabilitat-
ing families impoverished by the
Pueblo flood, it was said today at
national headquarters.
An impression seems to have
been created by a report to the
war department that Pueblo's
needs have been fully met, said
DR.. Livingston Farrand, chairman
of the central committee OF the
Red Cross. This is true only in
regard to emergency distress, There
never has been a serious food
problem and the flood victims
have been provided temporary
shelter. The big task OF the Red
Cross, therefore, is the rehabili-
tation of families who have lost
their homes. It's accomplishments
| involves the erection Of small
homes and the provision of essen
! tial furnishings. Our executives
on the scene, working with the cit
! iZens' committee estimate the cost
of this imperative relief at $780,
900, which can only be betrayed
through the generosity of the
American people"

ON LIVING AND

Accomplishments of Harding

at Memorable Exercises
In Ohio Town.
PRESIDENT LAUDED BY

Large Crowd Present At the
Ceremony Governor Da-
Wis and Congressman
Cooper Also Speak,

Niles, o., June lS.-The nations
president, and a martyred presi-
dent, both Ohio native sons. w. G,
Harding and William Mckinley,
were showered with praise today
at the unveiling of a bronze bust
of the former in the memorial Of
the latter.
While Vice President Coolidge,
Secretary - Labor Davis, Cover
nor Davis # Ohio and Congress-
man j. q. Cooper eXtolled the lives
of the living and the dead presi-
dents from the shadows of the
white marble building, the gigantic
statue of the martyr gazed SOL
EMMY and majestically on the
large lhrong.
McKinley's Example.
Mckinley set before the country
not only an example of political
wisdom, declared the secretary of
labor. "He gave it an example
OF moral fire. Ep touched the
fainting moral strength of the
people, he put the fire of his own
will to theirs and they laughed at
their foolish fears, and went for
ward again with a new vim, and
| prospered.
Now again we have before us
a leader with the same pure faith,
the same high confidence in the
strength and purpose of our peo-
pie. Already the hopeful, helpful,
reassuring words OF President
Harding have had a quickening ef-
feet. President Harding has shown
the good will of Mckinley, the pa
tience and forbearance Of Lin
coin and the drive of Roosevelt"
Reaction and Revolution.
"There are in this country" de-
clared Vice President Coolidge, "as
in every other, two contending
forces which, reduced to their low
est terms, represent reaction on
one hand and revolution on the
other. 1t is not fair to character
ize them both as radical. Presi-
dent Harding leans neither to the
reaction line, nor to the revolu-
tionary line. He holds to the ra-
tional line"
After Vice President CoolIdge's
address, Mrs. j. d. Waddell, wife
Of the president Of the Niles
Chamber of Commerce, which
made arrangements for the cere-
monies pulled the cord which un-
furled the large flag that had COW
cred the Harding bust. AS the flag
parted, revealing the face of the
president in bronze, the crowd
gave a prolonged cheer, and rising,
sang the national anthem.

D|KES NORTH OF
SAN MARC|AL IN
GOOD CONDITION
Southern Part of City Still
Under Water, Said to Be
Gradually Raising; Busl..
ness Section Not Effected

Backwater coming through the
broken dixie south OF San Marcial
was reported to be gradually rising
last night and few more Of the
city streets on the south side are
now under water. Workmen yes
terday spent most Of their efforts
in strengthening the northern dikes,
which. IL they should give way,
would allow the full force OF the
ucrrent of the Rio Grande 10
sweep through the city.
1t was believed late last night
that the northern dikes had been
sufficiently strengthened to with
stand the water, which Is at about
, the same height that 1t was yester-
day. Engineers believe the river
near San Marcial will begin to re-
cede this morning.
Few persons have left their
homes even though water is stand
ing as high as three feet in many
| Of the streets in the southern part
Of the city. Some few families,
living in one-story adobe houses,
have been forced to move as the
water seeped into their homes and
they had no second floor to take
shelter in.
At a late hour last night, no
casualties had been reported, al
though several men had expert
enced narrow escapes from drown
ling while working on the dikes
The city is not exposed to the cur
rent of the river, as the broken
dikes are below it. Many acres OF
land are reported to be under
water and all crops will probably
be ruined where the water will
necessarily stand several days be-
foresi it can be expected to drain
away or eyaporate.
