Kenosha and Kenosha county came
out from under it's blanket OF water
this afternoon to survey the neigh
borhoods to survey, that is, that
part of the neighborhood that was Wis
ible. Beginning at four o'clock yes
terday afternoon and continuing
through today the sky literally open
ed up and gave everything it had. Be
tween four and five O'clock Tuesday
afternoon, according to the statistics
of Assistant City Engineer Karl Fan
ders, an average of 1-2 inches OF
rain fell per hour, establishing a new
record for the season and equalling
anything that has happened in ke-
nosha for several years.
Accompanying the rain came ter
rife wind from the north and later
shifting from the west, blowing at
the rate of from 80 to 70 miles an
hour through the streets of the city.
Trees were blown down, signs were
ripped off their mornings, fences were
flattened, and water craft in Kenosha
harbor were wrecked.
Then the damage began mounting
UP. Kenosha was particularly hard
hit. Coming as it did upon the heavy
rains of Sunday and Monday, the wa
ter found difficulty in draining off.
Throughout the city cellars were
flooded. Calls are still constantly
coming IN to the city fire department,
the police and the city engineers Of
Ace for assistance with pumps to drain
cellars and foundations. Shortly after
five o'clock yesterday afternoon the
fire department was called to the
Cooper Underwear company, where
flooded Easements threatened thous-
ands of dollars worth of stocks. A
pump was soon working and the quick
work of the fire department prevent
ed any serious damage.
Street intersections west of the
Northwestern tracks were turned into
miniature lakes, some as much as three
feet deep. 1t wasn't long before every
youngster in the neighborhood was
out in his swimming suit or anything
that resembled swimming suit, frol-
licking about in the puddles.
To some of the residents on the west
side of the city the storm came as q
blessing. In one home the police re-
ported finding a cellar with foot and
a half of water, and serenely float
ing on the surface were eight drown
ed rats, each the size of small cat.
In other homes fruit preserves were
ruined, bushels of potatoes and other
vegetables spoiled, and very few of
the homes in the lower portions of the
city escaped without some sort of dam
age.
At Lincoln park the work that had
been going on in the sunken gardens
was practically lost. The gardens lie
under three feet of water. The la
COON at Lincoln park has risen four
feet. The municipal tennis courts are
invisible. Five foot bridges on the
municipal golf course have been wash
ed out.
The city engineering department
had a tractor out early last evening
pulling in trees that were blown over.
There was one on Prairie avenue, near
the railroad tracks, one at Pearl and
Ridge, two at Sheridan Road and
Elizabeth street, several in the park
near the north side fire station, and
others throughout the city.
Construction work in the city val
ued at close to four and a half million
dollars is being held up by the heavy
rains.
Street Car Service Hampered.

Mir. Longworth will read the testimony and the record he will see that my uni form and militant position was to pre- serve the oil in the ground for the ex- elusive use of the navy. The leasing by the present administration overturned the policy l maintained.
 The naval officer sent to California to examine the oif reserves reported that in one of them it would be wise. in or der to preserve the oil for the navy in the ground to make an exchange of cer- tain sections with the Southern Pacific for other sections. During the litigation over the ownership of the reserves cer- tain portions were operated by the re- ceiver to prevent loss.
 Request for Authority
 Acting upon recommendation of of ficers in charge of oil reserves Congress was asked to give the Secretary of the Navy power to conserve and develop the naval oil reserves by leases. contracts, or otherwise. and 10 use. store, exchange or sell the oil issuing therefrom. That provision was included because the navy department, after winning in the litiga- tion over the California naval oil re. serves, wished the power to exchange oil lands if it should develop that there was danger of seepage. The idea was that the navy would have authority to trade lands that might lose oil content with owners of adjacent oil lands in or der to secure oil lands where the oil could be preserved in the ground. There were negotiations looking to such ex- change. There were applications to lease. l declined to approve any exchange because no exchange proposition offered was for the benefit of the navy. There was some seepage ill naval reserve num- Der two in California. but the extent has beensexaggerat ted The navy's wise policy was to protect itself by digging offset wells rather than to exchange or lease.
 Declined All Applications
 ''I declined every application to lease any naval oil reserve.

 The administration was assailed also by Representative Garrett, minority Header in the House.
 The revelations developed before the committee of the Senate have shaken the faith of the country in their govS ernment, and have shaken this admins tration to its very mud sills' Garrett said. Recalling Coolidges reference to members of both political parties, Garrett continued That is not a proper utterance for the President of the United States That is the utter ance of politician
 He said it was pitiable situation when confidence in the department of justice has sunk so low that the Presi- dent takes the prosecution of the oil scandal out of it's hands.
 What pitiable thing it is for the President hmiself to admit before all the world that he cannot risk his own attorney general to protect the interest of the government of which he is Presi- dent, at the same time that Attorney General Daugherty remains, in the cabinet
