Result of a Fire
Sweeping Norfolk
ny Associated Pre.sl

Norfolk, Va, April 14.-With the
break of day this morning Norfolk
started its preparations for the relief
of the 1900 or more negroes rem
dered homeless by the fire in Berk-
ley last night.
A large cook tent is being erected
to be operated by the department of
public welfare. Tents from the navy
yard are being erected in the st. Hell
ena reservation to give men of the
negro colony shelter. Women and
children will be taken care of at the
homes of negro people in Berkley

ing registered at police stations.
The city, with the aid and assist
anc eof the Red Gross, the Negro

ed the opinion that the number of
homeless was somewhat exaggerat-
ed, although in the confusion it was
difficult to get at anything like an
accurate figure.
A guard composed of police, sal
lors and marines will be thrown
around the st. Helena reservation
and no one but the homeless men
will be allowed in the tents. The loss
from the fire was $75O,0OO.

Marooned
(By Associated Press)

Beardstown, ILL.,, April 14.-Wa-
ters Of the Illinois river continued
rising today and three-fourths Of the
population of this city of $500 had
been driven from their homes or were
residing in their second-story rooms.
Half of the area of the city is under
water.
Railroad tracks of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, the only road
still able to- operate trains here,
were threatened by the rising wa
ters. A force of 300, men worked
to maintain the roadbed. Another
large force was at work on the South
Beardstown levee which protects g.
900 acres of wheat land.
During the night thirty more fam
lilies were compelled to leave their
homes and join the refugees in the
highlands. Some difficulty is being
experienced in maintaining sanitary
conditions, as many of the sewers
were broken. So far it is difficult to
estimate the damage, but valuable
stocks in several stores have been
ruined. Crest of the flood is not ex-
pected for another day at least.

passage Of the Irish act, was the seat
of the national court Of justice.
Belfast, April 14.-4A stormy East

Russian Hurnorist
Captures Meeting
of World Savers
(By Associated Pressl

Genoa, April 14.-Christian Ra-
kovsky, of the Ukraine republic,
Ipromises to become one of the SOW
| let delegations brightest platform
stars at the international confer
ence. He thrives on debate and has
so much persistence and good humor
that none of the other delegates
seem able to down him.
And he simply will not leave the
United States gold reserve alone. He
made another attempt yesterday to
raid the United States treasury
through his proposed before the fl
nancial commission that the states
possessing the greatest quantity of
gold make loans to the poorer coun-
tries. He made particular reference
to the United States.
The Ukrainian president suggest
ed loans to the bankrupt countries
on the basis of their population,
which would naturally give Russia
the lions share, and his proposal has
caused much humorous comment in
conference circles, especially as COM
ing from representative of the SOW
let, which only short time ago
wanted to do away with money en-
tirely. a.
M. Rakovsky is younger and far
less serious than the other members
of the Russian delegation. He wan
ders about press headquarters and
entered into good-nature darguments
with the newspaper men with all the
ease of the cultivated spellbinder
who has taken to the soap box in
many lands and many languages.
Indications are that there will not
be day of the conference when Ra-
kovsky will not make at least one
speech on disarmament and the ap-
portioning of the worlds gold
