\ OUN WASHINGTON LETTER. c
?? c
An Interesting Budget of News from f
the Seat of Government. r
The horror in Ohio end Indiana has <
shown oar new President a new light, j
He *as taken ihi/ matter so much to *
heart at the loss of life that he has t
seat his ablest and best men to the t
front with the promise that he, him- ]
self, when this letter is written, will f
go to the front and do what he can tov %
ameliorate conditions. Ic shows that %
the Democratic President keeps in r
touch with the whole country and a
thct nothing cau happen that will I
affect his sympathetic proposition like, Jt
the flood in Ohio and Indiana. t
Whether the loss in Dayton, Ohio, t
is 5,000 or more, it shows that the Pees- t
ident of the United Sta es ha3 passed \
on the situation and whetherone man
is dead or not his sympathy is aroused \
and his heart beats in unison with the c
people ef the United States. In other r
words, the people of this country have I
a Democratic President and he is i
democratic in every sympathy and f
in every resource. He is President of ?
the United States and intends to make e
himself felt as such by the people of
this nation.
If he can do any good by going to
to those States he will be seen there. .
If he cannot by word of messagerfrom (
his trusted lieutenant he will not go. t
It probably will not be necessary for 1
him to~ go, but whether he goes or j
not his intention to go is one of the ,
things we will consider long after the <
whole affair i9 over and the dead i
buried. J
The President has many things on
his mind, especially the appointment
of ambassadors "and the like, but suffering
appeals to him over and above
the appointment of people to positions
and will continue to appeal to him
daring his whole administration. He
is a minority President so far as the
Totes go, but the people will look at
Roosevelt and Taft and Wilson, and
figure on which one has shown the
most manhood in a crisi9 in this country
and the verdict will go to Wilson.
He stood today absolutely impelled by
the situation and ready to go and risk
his own life in a friendly attitude toward
the people of Ohio and Indiana.
There are nearly 250,000 people out
of homes and without a dollar and he
is ready to go to them and tell them
that they must go to work; that he
was behind every dollar that they
were receiving and that he was President
of the United States and would
see that Congress passed a law enacting
that every dollar spent for them
and for their sustenance would be
covered back in the treasury and that
the people who can afford to pay must
pay the difference between them and
the dollars that are spent for them.

>n this trip was the advice and counsel
>t his cabinet and not his own cOn^deration
and feelings in the matter.
Phe latest reports state that the loss
>? life is not so great as was first supposed
iu the very fullness of this catastrophe.
There have been thousands
hrown out of employment and their
pomes wiped out and who will have to
iveon chanty money for the next
ew months. The President knows
his and is aware that they will have
o be taken care of by their country,
aen and he volunteered to tell them |
o personally, but was dissuaded by -j
lis cabinet. The fact that his mind
las been turned on the sufferings of
he people instead of the sufferings of
he politician, will go forward to show
he people tnat they can trust a man I
rho feels.
After Congress meets the politician
vill come to the front again and you
:an then look for numerous appointQents
to the public places that the
President has to give out. Until this
natter in Indiana and Ohio is satisactorily
adjusted, there will be 110
ippointments made and no politician
(hould look for any.

FLOOD STILL RACING.
Threatens to Again Invade the
Stricken District.
CoiumbUb'OLiu, April 4.?A downpour
of rain yesterday and last night
caused another flood stage in the
Scioto river, breaking the levee or
the west side of Columbus. The waters
were again released over a portion of
the territory flooded last week.
DAYTON STREETS FLOODED.
Dayton, Ohio, April 4.?Another
flood in . Ohio territory stricken last
week is threatened as a result of the
heavy rains. A ten-hour downpour,
together with clogged sewers, flooded
many streets of Dayton one foot.
Messages from Piqua, Bejlefontaine,
Troy and other towns north showed
incessant rains. Forcaster Alps declares
a recurrence, of the flood possible.
LEVEE BREAKS. [
Evansvilie, Ind., April 4 ?The
Howell levee, protecting Ingle9ide,
broke this morning, flooding the town
six to ten feet. Two hundred families
were driven out.
SPENT NIGHT IN OPEN.
Hickman Ky., April 4.?Continuous
rain throughout thenight, with a hard
upstream wind, combined to render
the flood situation desperate. Officials
have declared that the levees are not
expected to hold throughout the day
and the people were forced to leave
the lower sections.
There are now 2,500 refugees on the
hills above Hickman. Additional tents
arrived last night, but fifty families
were forced to 6pend the night unshelte
red.
SITUATION AT HICKMAN.
Memphis, Tenn., April 4 ?The
levee at Hickman went out this afternoon,
flooding|the factory district of
the city but there was no loss of life
according to a telephone message.
THE OHIO RISING AGAIN.
Cairo, 111., April 4.?After remaining
stationary for twelve hours the
Ohio river began rising again thi9
morning. But the prospects of holding
the peeves and protecting Oairo
are considered good. Thousands are
working to prevent a crevasse reel at
the foot of the levees. A break there
would relieve the strain here within
an hour but would^mean devastation
to a large territory of Kentucky and
Tennessee.
THE RISE AT MEMPHIS. **
Memphis, Tenn., April 4.?The
Mississippi rose a foot and a half during
the past twenty-four hours, registering
almost forty-one feet this
morning. : .

Will Have a Hard Time Btealing.
Washington, D. C., April 2.?Car
and depot thieves will find their ocer
ations in the future more difficult than
in the past and will have to face prosecution
in the Federal couit9 as well as
before the State tribunals as the result
of a bill introduced by Representative
C. C, Carlin, of Alexandria,
Ya., passed by both Houses of Congress,
and approved by the President.
This act imposes a maximum fine of
$5,000, or imprisonment for not more
than ten years for any person convicted
of unlawfully breaking" into
any railway car containing interstate
or foreign shipment of freights or express,
or of stealing or obtaining by
fraud or deception from any car, depot
or platform, vessel or wharf, any
freight, express or baggage which constitutes
or is a part of any interstate
or foreign shipment.
While the Carlin Act in no way infringes
on the jurisdiction of the State
courts, it puts the whole power of the
Federal Department of Justice behind
the detection and prosecution of
persons guilty of stealing from oars
or depots, since it will be practically
impossible for thieves to distinguish
intrastate and interstate shipments.
It is confidently expected that this law
will have a powerful effect in breaking
up theft of this character which not
only involves a serious loss to the railways
and cause great inconvenience
to shippers and travelers, but are a
Constance menace to railway employees
and the traveling public since it
is notorious that car thieves do not
hesitate to interfere with trains or resort
to other expedient*, to serve their
own purposes, regardless of the consequences.

was stopped at the church door a night
or two ago in Atlanta and delayed for
fully three quarters of an hour while
anxious friends went out in search of
the best man, who bad disappeared

After the long search, the best mau ;
aforesaid, with the license still in his j
pocket, wai found comfortably snooz- j
ing on a couch in bis own bachelor
apartments, with the dress clothes he
had intended to wear to the weddiDg
all carefnlly laid out on a chair before
the bureau.
His alarm clock had failed to go off, 1
and a little nap which he had expect- J
ed would only last a half hour bad I
carried him past the time set for the I
wedding, He was hurried into his |
clothes, and the long delayed cere- |
mony proceeded. ^
