Towns and Cities in Midwest Inundated By Floods As River Levees Break-Kansas-O Oklahoma Flood Areas 100 Miles Wide and 200 Miles Long.

Chicago, Oct LP-A dozen mid western towns were turned into new world Venices today as motorboats spashed through water covered streets to rescue flood bound resi- dents from tree tops and roofs of houses.
 Nearly score Of streams and riv- CTS In Kansas. Oklahoma and Illinois were rampaging at flood crest under the impetus of unceasing rainfall, and thousands Of persons were fore ed to seek shelter as the swirling water inundated low lands.
 The flood situation at Beardstown, H., became menacins again when the angry waters Of the Illinois river pioughed two large holes In a levee and poured into city streets in the lower portions Of the town. The levee, which had withstood the on- slaught of the swollen stream for two weeks. gave way last night, and volunteers were unsuccessful in ef- forts to repair the damage as swift currents forced them back.
 The river stage at Beardstown to- day was 2S feet, within two feet of the high mark set in the devastat- ing flood of 1922. While scores of homes had been flooded and consid- erabls damage done, the gas, light, power and water stations were in no immediate danger, and city officials said no outside assistance would be asked unless the situation became more acute. Large supplies Of dis

 The flood area in the Kansas Ok lahoma district was 60 to 100 miles wid and more than 200 miles long. The rain was abating early today, but reports from the Oklahoma Kansas border indicated that streams were rising slowly. with the crest due to reach Oklahoma today.

AUCTION SALE PLANNED
Government to Dispose of Property Where John Wilkes Booth Kept Horse On Which he Fled.

Washington, Oct. 1 LP>-Property where John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, kept his horse to flee from the capital after killing the president, will be sold by tho war department at auction on No- vember 1.
 Booth rented it In January, 1865, because of it's location on the alley, in the rear of Ford's theater, where he killed President Lincoln. The leasing of the building was part of the conspiracy. Booth employed a carpenter to change the stable to embrace two stalls and provide the door with a lock. Another carpenter, having access to the theater, was hired to provide bar from the outer passage leading to the presi- dents box.
 Getting a horse on the evening of April II, 1885, Booth concealed it in the stable, and after shooting the president, made his escape through the passageway, mounted the horse and fled the city, only to be captur- cd subsequently,.
