ILLINOIS FLOOD
WATERS RECEDE
Hope for Early Relief Seen at

BEARDSTOWN, ILL.,, Oct. S.-Re.
ceding flood waters and slightly
warmer weather today gave the
flooded district of central Illinois
hope for early relief.
The overlooking waters which have
torn away levees, washed out
bridges and wreaked havoc with
crops and cities along the banks of
the Illinois River and Lost Creek
for several days have begun to re.
cede.
However, with the recession in the
depth of the water, there came
swifter currents which carried de-
bris against windows that broke
panes and let the water into here
tofore dry places.
1t is expected that normal commu.
nication will be restored in the flood
ed area by Saturday.
Conditions in otner parts of central
Illinois were somewhat improved to
day, with the fall of the rivers.

last night which brought about the
first indication of recognition of the
corruption charges was made at La
Grange, home of State Chairman
Walb.
When he arrived at La Grange,
Roosevelt, who evidently had been
keeping in touch with the situation
lin Indiana, retired to his room in
the hotel and carefully prepared a
statement of what he had to say on
corruption in Indiana and the at
tendant graft charges.
Then Roosevelt called into confer
