KIT POEBUrVALLEY ' ^ WaH of Waters Sweeps Through pft C ^Colorado City Following i- *l Heavy Rains. „r IWUSUHS NUDE HWflfSS These Hundred Bodies Li* in Morgue* «b the Toll Mounts Hourly--Twentyfive Looters Arrested--One, % 'i Mexican Shot by Guard* *; ' iPiieblo, Colo., June 6.--Pueblo's busloess district is a mass of wrecked buildings. Its streets are deep In mud from the Arkansas river, which overflowed its banks, bringing the worst flood In the history of the city. The death list probably will mount Into the hundreds when toll is taken of the wrecked residences and rooming houses in the river bottoms. The full death list may never be known. Reports say 500 killed is a conservative estimate. It may reach 1,000. Property loss is estimated at $10>- OOtyOOO. Second Flood Hit* City. A new flood hit the cfty Sunday, extending to Fourth and Main streets. Heaviest loss was in Grove district and the Peppersauce Creek bottoms. Foreigners were caught after they refused to leave. At noon 83 bodies had been recovered. Flood warnings were sounded again at 3:30 o'clock, and the Arkansas river rose rapidly to Main and Secd Main and Court the water about two feet reets, the flood continued eanwhlle the Fountain river rose 12 inches in six hours. A total of 25 men have been arrested for looting. One Mexican was shot by guards. After a second night of horror Pueblo awoke to take np the gruesome task of collecting and identifying her dead flood victims, or trying to carry succor to thousands of stranded refugees and establishing lines of communication over which to send her call for help from outside. Three-hundred boides lie stretched out In the morgues. The toll is mounting hourly. The searching of ruins for bodies In the inundated district has been greatly hampered by the rising water. It is impossible to get into the ruins In many sections. Chief of Police Joseph M. Daly estimated the total dead at 1,000. In the Grove section, in the southeastern part of the city, which is in the Arkansas river bottoms, he says there are 1,000 children, most of whom, he believes, would have difficulty in escaping from the flood waters: Warnings Are Unheeded. *1 was in this section warning the inhabitants," he said. "The.v took the warnings lightly. The waters came down so suddenly then that I had difficulty in escaping myself." - 8. W. Pressley, chairman of the iafety committee, says no progress can be made in search for bodies until the waters have gone down further. Although Pueblo is under martial law, regulations were relaxed somewhat. It is now possible to traverse the city, except to cross the deadline st the water's edge, without a military pass. Estimates of the property loss range fmm $5,000,000 to $20,000,000. 1,000 in Soup Lines. One thousand destitute flood victims are lined up at relief stations. They are being fed soup, bacon, bread and coffee. One hundred persons are in the relief station established in the courthouse. Every physician has been working constantly since Friday night. 8cores of little children In the courthouse station have suffered, terribly from exposure. At the converted hospital in the Congress hotel several cases of smallpox and scarlet fever have developed among Mexican refugees. Clothing, bedding and medicine are bring furnished where needed. Mayor Mike Studzinskl said: "What we Seed most is motortrucks and gasoline, so aapplies may be distributed. We also need aid from Denver undertakers. We are making every effort to clear the road to Colorado Springs, as our £*ef depends upon it." Candle Prices Go Up. A few grocers placed an exorbitant price on candles. City officials and police forbade them to charge more than the ordinary price on pain, of having their stocks seized and distributed. The prices came down. -It may require a week to get a train out of here over any road. The nearest from the East a train can get to Pueblo on the Santa Fe line is 25 '"V miles. from th» wiles. Within If couri Pacific &t*m than 25 miles. The only wires oat of the city are those of the Wester# Union. <• 12S Blocks Flooded. The flooded are* extended t» tlMl south through the Denver' Jb Rio Grande railroad yards; to the north to Fifth and Main streets, inundating 18 blocks on Main street, 26 blocks on Santa Fe avenue and 45 block? In the Grove, the poorer section sf tha city. All railroad yards were flooded, equivalent to 40 blocks. The water also extended west to the state insane asylum lowiands, a'total of 125 blocks under water. Take ef Witnesses. Colorado Springs, June 6.--Raymond P. Chapman of this city returned from Pueblo with a vivid story of the flood. He raced the flood waters through the Arkansas valley in an automobile, arriving in Pneblo just as the water in the river had readied the bridges. After passing the night in the city he got ten gallons of gasoline and made his way to Colorado Springs, traveling through fields, over railroad trestles and, with several other motorists who followed in his wake, constructed temporary bridges. Chapman said when he reached Puble the sirens were shrieking warnings to the people and the waters in the business section of town had reached the level of second stories. He saw a two-story house floating down the street at Third and frtniu streets. 8ee« Thrilling Rescues. Chapman said many thrilling rescues were effected by means of boats brought from the park and that in one instance which came to his notice a boy had rescued three women. He tried to pick up an old man also when one of the women, becoming hysterical, clasped the boy. The boy even then tried to save the life of one of the women by swimming, but lost his hold on her and all the occupants of the boat but the boy were washed away in the stream. The deep water raced through the streets with the fierceness of a mountain stream. He said that, terrible as were the fires, the rescuers were greatly aided by the flames, which illuminated the sky. Burning piles of lumber, said Chapman* flowed down the river, setting fire to things they passed. "I had a room in the Congress hotel, but gave it up, as did all the other men to women and children," said Chapman. "All night I was on the streets, and it was a great relief when daylight came. "With the dawn many persons were found clinging to the tops of trees, to telephone poles, and perched on roofs of houses. They were taken off in boats. Three men held fast all night to a locomotive smokestack to keep from being washed away. The street cars were washed out of the streets and piled up in heaps with houses and railroad box cars. "There is scarcely any drinking water to be had. The flood water is muddy and" not 4t to swallow, although people laipt keep on boiling and using it. A mfflff from a big wholesale grocery siore told n.e that out of all their great stock of snpplies nothing remained fit to eat but a few packages of oatmeal. It was impossible for the bakeries to make bread liecan^e tbey could get no water to mix the dough." Two Other Eyewitnesses. Building bridges as they came, fording rushing torrents, jumping space caused by culverts washed away, two survivors of the flood reached Colorado Springs In a racing motorcar with a graphic story. The men, Iver Dailey, representative of Huerfano coanty, and Wilbur F. Cannon, pure food inspector for Colorado, were on their way to a fish fry at Laveta, Colo., when the Arkansas river, breaking loose from its banks, took up a new conrse throngh the main business section of Pueblo. From a floor In a building far above the seething muddy mass below, Dailey and Cannon all through the night watched the grewsome sight, never to be forgotten. Cars Float in Town. When the river broke loose Friday night motorists, caught in the torrent, deserted their machines to seek shelter. The cars floi ted about the bust ness section all night, crashing into plate glass windows, turning over and over again, and at last dashing themselves to pieces against buildings. "We say one woman In the second story of a house floating down Main street," said Dailey. "The house •truck a building while the water swirled around it, sucking It down and taking it around in a dizzy whirl. Fin ally it stopped and a woman, evidently having lost her mind, leaped into the water and was drowned. "Before we left we saw corpses being carried to the courthouse, to the Congress hotel and to other buildings where they were taken for temporary 1 shelter.* W7 • • •" •- Ameltotoi Engineers' Council Cmunittee to Campaign to Cut Losses. fIFI CHANGES ATTORNEYS •irm Will Take Case aa<Hear- Will Be Outside 0 ^ New York.

Sf* Louis, Jane &--Responsibility for more than 50 per cent of the Waste in industrial processes, which is causing enormous unuual losses to the nation, can be placed at the door of the management, and less than 25 per cent at the door of labor, declares a report of the American engineering council's t committee on elimination of waste In Industry made public at a meeting of the council's executive board. The committee was appointed by Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, when he was head of the council. The report showed that the margin of unemployment amounts to more than 1,000,000 men; that' billions of dollars are tied up In idle equipment, that high labor turnover is a rough index of one of the commonest wastes, and that waste of time and energy and money through duplications and estimates and bids in building trades ran into millions anuually. Both employer and employees restrict output, It is said. Both cupital and labor are blamed for existing abuses, but the annual losses through waste by conflicts between them is ranch less than popularly supposed. From four to five million workers were idle during January and February of this year. In 1921 half a billon dollars will be lost in wages In the building trades, it is said. The waste inquiry is Ih charge of a committee of 16, headed by J. Parke Chunning of New York as chairman, and L. W. Wallace of Washington, executive secretary of the American engineering council of the Federated Engineering Societies, as vice chairman. This is the beginning of a movement by the country's organized engineers. ubout 200,000 in number, to bring about better industrial conditions and more harmonious relations between capital and labor. The .committee outlined the following proposed program of governmental assistance to eliminate waste: ".National Industrial information service should be established to furnish more timely, regular and complete information covering current production and consumption and stock of commodities; a national statistical service should be established covering employment requirements; a national policy regarding public health should be fostered and encouraged; the national program for industrial rehabilitation should be encouraged and should oiii r oppot Mini ties for education and placement to those having physical defects as weil ns those handicapped because of industrial accidents; a nation-wide program of Industrial standardization should be encouraged in conjunction With industrial Interests." Organized labor sbotitd develop a policy for Increasing output," it was stated. "The attitude of opposition or Indifference to proper standards for production should be changed to a frank and aggressive insistence on such standards; there should be a scientific examination of the basis for wages." Declaring that the annual economic loss in the country through preventable diseases and death amounted to $3,000,000,000. the report urged a more general use of safety methods already perfected. It was asserted that 75 per cent of the deaths and serious accidents in Industry could be thus prevented. In regard to the number of days lost, the report said: "Forty-five million persons lose 250,000,000 days from illness and disease and nonindustrial accidents annually; 42 per cent of the waste of Ill-health is preventuble; in 1919 there were 3,000,000 industrial accidents resulting in an economic loss to the country of about $853,000,000." Plant idleness came in for Its share of the hlaine for waste, in the printing industry alone, the report said, an investment of more than $100,000,000 In stocks of paper carried to meet trade requirements could be cut In half throngh standardising in the brands of paper. Tlw building industry was said to. be about 00 per cent efficient In the shoe industry the waste is put at about 85 per cent. in the clothing Industry, it should be easy to save three-quarters of a million dollars a day. _ -Liner Named Harding^ j New York, June 7.--The format fltertnan passenger liner Kaiser Wilhelm II has been renamed President Harding. it was announced by officials of the United States Mail Steamship company. h* * - * St w and Jewelry. •**"' 'its 30 DEAD IN RACE RIOT Order Restored in Tulsa, 0kla.» After Fierce Fighting.

This is shown in reports of tax collections made to the Treasury department. Indicative of a swing toward nationwide prosperity and a termination of the general economic depression, a rush to gratify the craving for small Indulgences now is sweeping the entire country,-the reports seem to Indicate. Regular monthly reports to the federal reserve board from its 12 district banks show what Is called a gradual increase in the manufacture and distribution of clothing, automobiles, steel, textiles, farm products, and practically alt commodities. Furthermore, the germ of a nationwide building boom is shown in rising values of building permits. In the 12 cities reporting the value Is about $800,000,000 monthly for new construction. This shows what business men refer to as a "returning confidence in the prosperity of the future." If the building boom continues to develop as anticipated, it should result in the erection of dwellings and apartments for 250,000 families before fall. This would probably reduce rents and again leave the average family more money to spend for recreation, amusement. and small luxuries. The big pessimistic factor In the situation is unemployment, which is roughly estimated to have touched at least 3,000,000 workers. Factories In every part; of the country are taking MI additional workers dally, however, and unemployment Is rapidly decreasing. At least $20,000,000 daily now is go* lng over the counters of merchants dealing in small luxuries, according to the reports. This is an estimate based on the fact that the government now is receiving approximately $60,000,000 a month from luxury taxes. Such taxes are, based on about onetenth of the cash received by the merchant. * With the approach of summer, thousands of American 6 are apparently feeling the call of the open road. The sal£ of new automobiles now Is putting nearly $7,000,000 a month In the government's cottiers, Indicating purchases of approximately $70,000,000 worth of cars. The tax collectors are getting nearly $10,000,(KM) each 30 days via the railroad ticket office. Travel taxes usually Increase during the vacation months, June, July aud August, but last summer there was very little change over the winter period. Pennies that go into the little-glass Jar kept by the soda dispensers now bring the government nealy $7,000,000 each month, Indicating an enourmous demand. Chewing gum brings the government the comparatively small total of $190,- 000 monthly. This indicates that the United States now is chewing monthly approximately 26,000,000 packages or 1,300,000,000 sticks. . . The country 1s speitjaing-$20,000,000 a month for candy. June,.the month of brides, marriage engagements, and solitaire diamond rings in 1020 discouraged jewelers. This June, •however, the government will collect approximately $1,500,000 as its one-tenth of the jewelers' sales. This, of course, Indicates not completely the value of all Jewelry aold, became a tax need not be paid on all articles sold in jewelry stores. Smokers now contribute approximately $24,000,000 monthly to the government in taxes on cigars, clgarets, tobacco, and snuff. Ship Burns Off Florida; Crew^Saved.
