To SUDDEN DEATH:
Damage Of More Than ST.
100000 Is Left in Wake
of the Mighty Rush Of.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April 20
Seventeen probably dead and prop
erty damage estimated at approxi-
mately $1,000,000 is the toll OF .
flood which swept Fort Worth early
today, carrying before it scores OF
residences and small buildings, over.
flowing hundreds of acres of Land
and inundating several city streets
John J. Mccain, Fort Worth.
city engineer, issued statement
last night in which he declared that
the levees around the rivers, which
broke here early yesterday and
flooded lowlands of this city, We're
"dynamited by unknown parties,
and that an investigation by grand
ivry would be demanded imnaedI'
ately.
The estimate of possibly seventeen
dead was made by Major Z. @.
White, in charge of Red Cross re-
lief. However, none of the local I'M
dertaking establishments had re-
49,
ceived a body.
The flood was confined cherry
tn the lowlands adjoining the triDu-
taries of the Trinity river. Marine
Sycamore, Clear Forks and Trinity
royers were swollen, overfloWlng the
bottoms nearby.
Water stood three feet deep in the
stockyards here and was only n foot
from the Live Stock Exchange
building tonight. This water was
expected to subside quickly, how.
ever. The flood is the most severe
in the history of the city, accord~
ing to old-time residents. Trinity
river stood at 36.7 feet at noon and
was still rising. The gauge meas
ured only seven feet yesterday. With
the break of the East First street
Ieyee late todaysit was believed the
water, on being released, would
spread out, losing some OF its Force.
Coming on the heels Of an inch
rain, the heaviest in the history 81
Fort Worth, and wind and cleo
trical storm, the flood took scores
of people by surprise. The lowlands
adjoining Sycamore creek were the
first to suffer, and at one time wa
ter was standing level with the roofs
Of residences.
Word reaching here from points
north Of Fort Worth indicates that
a further rise of the water is ex-
pected and that every effort was
being made to prevent additional
loss of life, and property. Rescue
workers are laboring tireiessly in
bringing relief to food sufferers and
attempting to rescue the flood
stricken. The entire city has united
in this work. -
With boiler rooms Of the city pow
er and light plant flooded, residen-
tial Fort Worth spent a nighsmiaa
darkness. No drinking water has
been available since early morning.
With the city facing a night of
darkness, 500 members of the Amer
lean Legion were patrolling tbs
streets, augmenting the police force,
which was working full time in the
flooded areas.

GENERAL ROUNDUP
BEGUN IN KENTUCKY

MANCHESTER, KY, April 25.--g
The arrest OF every person over
twelve years of age in the Mill CreeH
neighborhood of CLAY county hast
been ordered by Circuit Judge HiramL
J. Johnson in an effort to break up
lawlessness which eliminated last
week in the ambushing Of county
officers who went into the district
to arrest moonshiners. Two hum,
dred warrants were issued by Judge
johnson and orders were given to
consfiscate all high-poWered rifles
and large caliber pistols.
A squad of twenty men left with
warrants and Judge Johnson then
decided on the wholesale roundup.
officers already are returning with
prisoners and reports are to the eff
feet that many Of those charged ere
coming voluntarily ahd that others
hurriedly are leaving.
The warrants were issued after
officers made affidavits that they had
reasons to believe that moonshine
stills and their furnishings are own
ed and operated by men who have
formed conspiracy to continue the
violations Of laws and If necessary
to kill officers who attempt to make
arrests. They allege that it is this
band that apbushed Deputy Sheriff
Pete Stivers last week and ran 9TH
err officers out of the district.
The affidavits further alleged that
men in Mill Creek have conspired
to kill any person who opposes the
commission of crimes or undertakes
to have the offenders arrested, and
that in furtherance Of this con-
spiracy one or more men already
have been shot down and murdered.
Judge Johnson declared that he
was determined to clean up the
creek even if he was Compelled to
bring thousand soldiers into the
county to do it." He declared that
"the worst man in the Little Goose
section" where he quieted a feud
last term of court, "is too good to
be mayor of Mill Creek"
A peculiar feature of the case is
that members of the Martini hilpott.
Benge feud have volunteered to &C.
company officers in making arrests
in the Mill Creek territory. These
men were opposing factions in the
Little Goose feud two months ago.

ALLIES To ISSUE
NEW U[T|MATUM
To RUSS At GENOA

LONDON, April 26.-(By the AS
sociateds Press. 1.-The allied note tc
be presented to the Russian delega
ton at Genoa tomorrow, says an Elk
change Telegraph dispatch from
Genoa, will be practically an ulti
matum, demanding unequivocal re-
plies on four principal points:
1. The payment of war debts,
either entirely or with a reduction
based on Russian capacity to pay.
2. The payment of pre-war debts,
with the granting, if necessary, of
reasonable moratorium.
8. Indemnity for all damages
caused to foreigners.
4. Restitution of confscated prop
erty.
Three other points, adds the dis
patch, will be drawn up by the al
lies today, and an effort will be
made to force Russia to reply at the
earliest possible moment in order
to bring the conference to a close
before May 10, when Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George and other Of the
leaders expect to be obliged to
leave Genoa owing to the pressure
of home business.
DELEGATES WONDERING
WHAT WILL COME NEXT
GENOA, April 26.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-There have been so
many thrills in rapid succession at
the economic conference that every
body, delegates and layme~ alike,
today are wondering what will come
next.
The italian statesmen, as spon-
sors of the conference, were Joined
by Mr.. Lloyd George, M. Barthou,
M. Theunys, and the leaders of the
lesser states in fervently hoping
that the sensations had ended, and
that something might really be done
about Russia, the supreme remain
ing subject for discussion. To that.
of course, should be added Lloyd
Georges ambition for the birth Of
an all-European accord that the
nations shall not attack one another
Or commit any aggression which
would excite an attack.
The allies and neutral powers
seem determined to give the Rus
slams another chance to come to
terms, and there is hope that the
crisis brought on by the soviet S
latest demands will pass. Mr..
Lloyd George, particularly appre->
eiates the difficulties in the~way of
the Russians relinquishing the pfac-
teal doctrine of the naturalization
Of property, which incarnates the
very fundamentals of the bolsheVist
preachings and efforts may be made
to settle the question of the status
of private property in Russia so
that the communist leaders may
"save their faces" on their pet
principle. .S.z9s.ss sssv<sss sss
Gefioa's population has lost none
of it's gaiety and none OF its live
ly interest in the sessions OF the
conference. The absence of disorder
has Gained the apprehensions of the
allies, and no longer are heavy
bodies of troops to be seen in the
streets, although reserves are con-
veniently near at hand, being sta
toned on troop ships moored at the
water front.

Child, the American ambassador,
find ready sale, for Mr.. Child
stands in Genoa as a representative
of all that America may or may
not do for Europe. When he enters
or leaves his hotel he always is sur
rounded by curious crowd. When
not occupied with his official duties
he is much sought by the delegates,
who are entertaining him daily.

Especially fortunate is the Jewish
