NARROWING SCENES
 IN FLOODED AREA
Cries Of Women and Children Add to Horror in Jap Disaster

Tokyo, July 30 LP,-The meager news that trickles in from the flood in Niigita province reveals a ter rife toll in death and destruction Latest reports fix the dead, injured and missing at about 800 and dam age to property at 100000 900 yen.
 The village of Tochio was hard est hit of all the communities. Al this place 1,500 houses were de- molished and many drowned. In the entire flooded area some 5000 houses were submerged. Several thousand acres of rice fields were destroyed.
 Other floods are reported in Akiia and Yonezawa, in north Japan, but they are not believed to be serious in comparison with those in Niigita, across the island from Tokyo.
 Heavy rains started the floods on Wednesday. The Shinago river soon .overflowed its banks, washing away houses and causing landslides.
 The cries of women and children for help and the floating bodies added to the distress.
 Electric lights have been cut off in most of the villages and hunger is adding it's terrors to darkness. A relief corps from Nagacka brought food and medical aid but the as sistance has been inadequate. The Red Cross and other relief agencies have started for the flood area from other cities.

MAY FREE SLAYER AFTER I5 YEARS
Youth Who Killed Broker Is Near Release

New York, July so P)-Almost sion of an unusual murder the state parole board yesterday took up the application for release of Paul Gie- del, Sing Sing lifer, who, July 26, 1911, strangled and chloroformed William H. Jackson, wealthy and aged banker, in his apartments in the Hotel Iroquois, No. 49 West 44th street. Charles D. Whitman. then district attorney and Mrs. Whitman, were asleep in adjoining rooms.
 Young Giedel, who is one of 115 prisoners seeking parole, was only seventeen at the time of the murder, and had been a bell boy in the hotel. At his trial he staggered hard boiled police officials by his cold blooded- ness and his lack of any regret for having taken a human life. But after sentenced to Sing Sing to serve from twenty-one to life that attitude gave way to a breakdown which re- suited in insanity for several years.
 About year ago Giedel, who has been model prisoner, regained his mental soundness. but because of a recent operation, his application was laid over until he could regain his strength. AS result. he probably will be given his freedom in a few weeks.
 Giedel committed his murder with chlOrOfOrm which his lapdIady Mrs. Edward Kane, of. No. PAT West 5Oth street. had bought to kill her dog, and fingerprints on the bottle led to his arrest. Less than five weeks later he was convicted Of second degree murder. He netted only s27.5o in his robbery after the murder.

SUBWAY WORKERS
 GALL OFF STRIKE
Men Returning to Jobs as
 Individuals

New York, July 80 Rl-Leaders of the striking subway motormen and switchmen announced last night they had released their men from strike obligations and had declared the strike at an end.
 The leaders said the strikers will be taken back by the Interborough Rapid Transit company at the wages they previously received. but that they will not regain their lost senior ity.
 It was the second time in two weeks that the strike had been de- clared ended. The first time the men resumed their strike when subway officials refused to take them back as group. A general strike of all subway workers in the city had been called for Saturday. but company officials insisted that few of their employees would answer it.
 The strike leaders said the men will return as individuals and, the leaders themselves will be taken back, if at all, after their individual cases have been considered by the company officials.

MOORE DISCLOSES
 ALL CONTRIBUTORS

wouldl have told Secendry that Smith already had the support of the foreign voters and so did not need his assistance. The little black memorandum book to which Moore referred when he first appeared Monday was handed to the commit tee. It was in cipher, the witness explaining that he kept it in his desk for noting reviews with down. state leaders who called on him.
 Opening the book at random, he read one cipher that leader asked for s2.S00 for campaign purposes in his county and was given $500. The committee did not press for all de- tails from the book and Moore wes excused after being on the stand only half an hour.
 |. s. Marshal Testifies |.
 James A. White, United States Marshal at Murphysboro, H., testi- fled that he charge of organization work for Senator Mckinley in five downstate counties and that he per sonally spent s1,475 of his own money for which he was not reim- bursed.
 White could not say how much money was raised in the five coun- ties - Alexander, Union, Pulaski, Perry and Randolph. There were local organizations in each of the counties, he added.
 Taking up his own county of Jackson, the witness testified that there were hired workers at the polls, receiving from s5 to $15 each. Seven hundred .and fifty dollars of the, $1,475 he gave went for workers andE auto hire, while s400 was for stationery and postage.
 White exhausted the list of wit nesses on hand and the committee adjourned the hearing until next Tuesday to enable Senator Reed to fill weekend engagements in Mis- souri and Senator LaFollette to fill such engagements in Wisconsin.
 Declined At First
 Upon his first appearance at the opening of the inquiry last Monday. Moore had declined to name any of the contributors except himself, Samuel Insull Chicago public utility officer, and Smith. He was given time in which to decide whether he would stand on that decision.
 Moore took the position that cam paign contributions were confiden- tial matters, just as on yesterday Thomas W. Cunningham, clerk of the general sessions court at Phila- delphia, took the attitude that where he got the s50,000 which he con- tributed to the successful candidacy of William S. Ware in the Pennsyl- yania senatorial primary was per-

sonal matter.

sonal matter.
 Chairman Reed and. other mem- bers of the committee take wholly different view of the matter and as a result of his refusal to answer questions Cunningham will be cited to the senate for contempt with the prospect that his case will be refer- red to the supreme court of the Dis trict of Columbia where there is pending test case brought against Harry F. Sinclair after his refusal to testify further in the Teapot Dome inquiry.
 Samuel Insull also has tentatively challenged the right of the commit tee to require certain information from him, but his position Is differ ent from that of Cunningham and Moore in that he declined pending conference with counsel to tell what if any contributions he made to the different republican factions in the recent fight for control of offices in Cook county.
 The utilities magnate was given until yesterday to reach decision but he was not called to the stand and members of the committee have declined to discuss the matter other than to say that they believed it would work out satisfactory, Upon reconvening next Tuesday after adjournment tonight, the committee plans to go into details
 of story told late yesterday by Timothy P. Mccarthy, an East St. Louis newspaperman, that Smith

 as democrat, announced the sup !. port of the league for Smith. At
 the same time, according to Me i Carthy, he exhibited s2,SG0 in cash

REDS IN CHICAGO ARE
 LINKED WITH PASSAIC
Citizens Body Shows Seized Let. ter of Instruction From "Com-
 munist Pioneers"

Passaic, N. J., July S0.-Evidence purporting to show that the strike of textile workers here was being di- rected from Chicago by the leaders of the Workers tcommunist) party, was made public yesterday in a statement by the citizens commit tee.
 The evidence was in the form of what was said to be a photostatic copy of a letter addressed to "The Pioneer Department of District ?" New York and New Jersey, and signed by Will Helberg. director of the national pioneer department of the communist party.
 The letter, it was reported was seized by local policemen when they raided the strike headquarters in April. The statement of the com mittee points out that the head quarters of the Passaic communist local are in a room adjoining those
  CT. In the letter Helberg, after ap- proving a proposed outline of activi- ties of the Pioneers" in the strike and urging that everything possible be done to execute the plans, gives directions under nine headings.
 Weisbord would make no com ment on the letter. but intimated he might make statement on it to- morrow.
 It was said during the day that Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor was friendly to the proposal that the federation organize the textile work rsr and help settle the strike if Weisbord stepped aside.
