THE OMAHA DAILY UEE: THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1903. Telephones S1H-6W. WE CLOPB SATURDAYS AT M. Ji JuM 10. HO. 1 S mi C 1 mw1. Y. M. C. A. Building. Corner thee buildings today contains over 230 per sons, and although the rescue boats found mar.y people In second stories and on housetops there sre rows upon rows of cot tage that early this morning did not show a Sign of life. Thousands of people stood on the Broad way embankment today and looking across the expanse of water covering the railroad yards of the Southern railroad to these houses, asked each other If they had not been transformed Into scpulchers. Nons could be found who said they had escaped from them and none knew of occupants who had. Possibly they may have got away In safety, but ther. la grav. fear that when all the living have been trans ferred to land the boats will bear bodies of dead from the flooded cottages and deso lated section of the city. In the turmoil of this calamity It has been practically impossible to authenticate death reports, but from apparently reliable sources it Is gathered that eleven persons irtre drowned last night, four of whom perished on tho north side early In the evening.. w Segro Thieves Shot Down. t ' was currently reported today that seven negroes, caught In the act of looting houses last night, were shot to death. They war. all on a raft and were surprised by guards, who shot them down And threw their bodies Into the water. While this was not confirmed It Is known that there was heavy firing on the north side early last night where these negroes are said tc have been killed. The deaths of John Koolish, a Polish car penter, and ' his three children, two boyi aged 6 and 7 and a girl of 12, were caused by trying to save three kegs of beer. The Koolish horn, had been surrounded by water for several days. The family had been living In the second story and last night decided to go to land. Koolish took two sons and his wife and 3-months-old In fant safely to land. He then returned for his other three children. Getting them safely Into the boat he started to row tc ,lad. when' H. stopped at a submerged house to. take off three kegs of beer, as re quested by the owner, a friend. In trying to load the kegs Into the boat the eraft wa: overturned and th occupants were swep' to their deaths by the swift current. In full sight of th. agonized mother. The bodies wire secured today and taken to a livery stable, her they were laid out. side by side, by th. proprietor, who Is also an un dcrtaker. Mrs. Koolish was summoned to Identlfj' them snd her grief was pitiable in the ertreme.- there they laid amid Incon gruous surroundings, th. little girl bare footed and the little boys and their father without coats. The smaller boy's right hand had fallen limp across his breast and the other hand rented on that of his dead brother. The little girl lay between him and the father. Her clothing was threadbeare, but a little faded ribbon, the pride of a childish heart, was still entwined In the little girl's matted half. On look and the poor woman sank to her knees benld. the rude bier and throwing' her arm's .'across her loved ones In, mute "appeal alia sobbed In th. anguish of a broken heart. , The few onlookers turned away with brimming eyes.. "That's pretty hard," said on. rough-looking ma.n softly, and the others echoed the sympathetic sentiment. . Streets '.TnrneeV' to Wharves, t At tho; Intersecting streets of Broad way; which temporarily became boat landings, similar' rn of grief were being enacted as refugees were brought to land. Scows were -launched as fast as they could be con j structed and volunteers started on rescue missions. A company- of naval reserves from Alton.' which had rowed down to the city yesterday In a cutter, rendered splen did service, Reseuers began work as soon as It was light enough to see and continued their work far Into tonight. Word was sent out generally for more boats, . and th. government responded through United State District Attorney Dyer, In St. lunula, who lasted an order to confiscate tempor arily every boat seen In and around St. I,nul, regardlens of ownership, and rush them to East St. Louis, Th.

The first boatload contained refugees and some furniture. The order was Issued on th. spot: "If any more furnltur is brought It will b thrown Into the water. If a man thinks mors of his furniture than h. does of his neighbors-he must los. the furniture." After that no furniture was transported. It was Impossible for a reporter to ac company any boat on a trip to th. flooded houses half a mile distant. No boat could be hired or bought and nobody except rowers and refugee wer permitted In those thus used. There were so many vol unteer oarsmen that reporters were barred from volunteering, so the scene In the flooded district can only be described from what was hurriedly gleaned from the res cuers. Women Cllngr to Homes. When boats were rowed alongside homee where the occupants wer marooned In second stories and on mors, In the great majority of cases the ocoupants could not be induced to leave. They said to leave meant that their' belongings were at the mercy of river thieves and they would remain and stand guard. Peculiarly enough th women were those most unwilling to be rescued, although Home wrung their hands and wept in terror. They were as sured that Governor Yates, had telegraphed that four companies of mllltla for guard duty would arrive by nightfall and would establish a thorough boat patrol with; or ders to kill river thieves on sight, and finally the unwilling householders were per suaded to go to land. . . ' As wives entered boats that were too full to carry husbands, or children wer. sent ahead of parents, they wept and cdasped each other In their arm In ab ject fear that some calamity might forever separate them. One mother knelt on the housetop with hands uplifted In audible prayer for a safe voyage as her children were taken away. At the landing weeping women were ten derly handed from the boats and staggered from the water "calling .for some missing loved one. At the, nrlnclpalj landing? at Broadway and Tenth strdt. several Vomen feinted after being assisted from the boats. Hers Lifted to Dry Land. All day long boats dumped their burdens and started again for more. .. All day long pathetic scenes wrung ' the hearts of ' by standers, but still there- was time occasion ally to think of other things, : During- the afternoon the cry went up along the land ing: "Stand away everybody, .clear' the boats away, Let that horse land. Coming around the corner of a halt sub merged house, with nose baTely out of water, a bay horse almost exhausted was seen swimming under water. It was feared if a boat went to its assistance the horse would veer off and drown. Hundreds of lips chirped and called encouragement, a the horse struggled on. Finally it reached the landing, but there was a depth of six feet at the shore and It could not climb out. It laid Its head on the bank and moaned In exhaustion. Twenty men sprang for ward and the valiant horse, which must have swam for a long distance, was fairly lifted out of the water, and everybody wanted to rub It ' down. It was led away by a man who said he would make it comfortable. . - Business being entirely suspended In. the city, thousands of people congregated near the many landings along Broadway, all eager to render assistance and many brought wagona to convey - refugees to shelter. In the eastern extremity of the city, at Washington Place and Rock Road, where there Is a vacant area of many squares of high ground covered with grass two hun dred tents were utilised. By noon forty nan Been erected and by night a commis sary department had been established. From the Broadway landings to Camp Refuge the flood sufferers were transported in wagons. Each family was given a tent. . ' Chnrenea Haven of Aefaae. Th. city hall, churches,- vacant buildings and other available public structures were thrown open and temporarily turned Into relief stations. ' , Attorneys T. E. Dempcy and D. R. Webb have charge of Camp Refuge. Mr. Dempcy said tonight: .WTn.u,,l hav f00(1, East St Louis is C. . ,or ""PP'r (nd what It has. has been largely drawn upon during the past week Large amounf. of fooS were destroyed by the water last night and we are In nr1 ,,r V.1. for theae sufferers.

Al most every cltlsen bad fixed on some river mark and watched It carefully throughout the day. and it was the unanimous opin ion that the flood was ristna-. With unflagging energy Mayor Cook, who has passed through l flood exigencies at enawneeiown. wnero tie formerly lived, and knows how to deal with high water urged the laborers to work on the teml porary levees rq the fear that an hour s rise aunng tne nignt might further Inun date the city As the night drew on another fear con fronted the Inhabitants. The water that had steadily been pouring through the roadway embankment In heavy streams was undermining that bulwark and It was generally acknowledged that the street could not restrain the heavy pressure from lt south side for many hours longer with the seepage water eating away at the in terior. Hundreds of men expressed firm conviction that morning will And th stret-J sunk and th water flooding much of that section of the city occupied by th mer cantile house.. River Still Rl.lav. The belief held that the river waa rising was confirmed by the St. Louis govern ment guage at 7 tonight. Th. gaug. regis tered 87.W feet, a rfa. of .IS of a foot dur Ing th. past twenty-four hours. No at tempt la mad. to explain this rlae ether than that th. wind la forcing water from lowlands Into th channels of the Missis sippi and Missouri river whloh swells th torrent at St Louis. Donvernlde, a suburb of East St. Louis, was completely Inundated, and Alta Bita, farther to the east, waa half flooded last night If the river rises even a fraction more the water must swamp Alta Blta. From the ordinary course of the Missis sippi to the Illinois bluffs Is from Ave to eight miles but tonight the flood laps th foot of the bluffs. As soon as news of the Inundation spread through St. Louis the whole city became excited. Rumor, of deaths started thou sands of sightseers across Eads bridge to view th calamity. But the authorities In East St Louis were prepared to moet Just such a host of curious people. Beyond the eastern approach to Eads bridge Is a trip of street half a mile long, leading to th viaduct over what ordinarily Is Caho kta creek. This viaduct Is the entrance into East St. Louis and across It entrance ropes were early stretched by police officers who stood behind them under orders to allow no egress Into the city of those who would only hinder the work of rescue. At the East St Louis end of the viaduct sim ilar prohibitive measures had been taken. East St Louis was practically shut off from th world. Even refugees with babec In arms and bundles of belongings, who de sired to proceed to St. Louis, were stopped and questioned as to their destination In the Missouri city and until they could demonstrate that they were sure of being taken care of by friends they were turned back to the relief offered by the city. Tin stars were hurriedly made and fas tened to pin for attachment by the local authorities, and reporters and cltlsen generally who volunteered to render every assistance possible, and that meant prac tically every able-bodied man, was fur nished with these badges and could freely pass the lines of guarding police stationed throughout the city. Cameras Are Barred Oat. Newspaper photographers and persons with cameras were dealt with uncere moniously. One newspaper photographer who had been warned not to take a picture of th flood, but who persisted, wat knocked down and his camera broken. He was told that unless he departed he and his camera would be thrown Into the water. He departed. - Just opposite the Broadway and Tenth street landing, too feet from shore, stands a locomotive, of the Southern railway, with water half-way to the top of the boiler. This engine was pushing cars loaded with dirt to the threatened Illinois Central em bankment last night, when the rush of Water came. Just as the water struck the moving engine It left the track and waa stopped. With water slowly creeping up to quench the fire the engineer remained In his cab and shrieked the whistle until the rising water stopped him. It la said this locomotive sounded the last warning to th Inhabitants. Then the engineer climbed out of bis cab and swam ashore. This afternoon the large headlight and rear light were taken from the engine and stationed along the shore to throw Illumi nating rays across the water and assist the rescuers In their work. Riot guns were collected by Chief of Police Pitrdy today and tonight given .ut to guards to patrol the streets vhere hun dreds of dollars' worth of furniture la stacked and the sand bag levees, and thieves or possible levee cutters are to be shot down Instantly. Martial law haa not been officially proclaimed, but East fit. Louts Is practically being so governed and Is no place for Idle, curious persons. RIVER FALLS AT HANNIBAL ' .-. .

REMAINS SILENT THROUGH FEAR OF LIFE Conrt Is Told F.wen Saw All, hmt Re frained from Talking; to Save Himself (rem Friend's Fate. JACKSON, Ky., June 1.-In the Marcum murder trial today Attorney Onall for the defense moved to set aside the entire Jury panel as Irregular. Judge Redwine over ruled the motion. Commonwealth Attorney Byrd In outlin ing the cose Said he would prove that White and Jett entered into a conspiracy to kill Marcum and that Jett fired the shots, having been seen by a witness whom he would produce. B. J. Ewen, the first witness, testified to standing beside Marcum when he was shot. Just before the shooting Tom White passed by and Marcum said: "I'm afraid of that fellow; he means to do me harm." An Instant later witness heard a pistol crack. Marcum, who had his arm on witness' shoulder, released hi bold and dropped to the floor exclaiming: "Oh, Lord they hav killed me." Witness looked back and saw Curtis Jett with pistol gripped In both hands. - "I then fled," witness continued, "as I thought that It was I who he was after when a second shot was fired." Fenr Keep 'Witness Silent. On redirect examination he said fear for hi own safely prevented him allowing Callahan snd Hargls to know what he had seen. This statement from a deputy sheriff of th county, who hes lived a prisoner In hi home through fear and been under military guard when awake or asleep for several weeks, produced a visible Impres sion In the court room. Ewen told of making a search of the courthouse shortly after the assassination and finding no one. He had seen the as sassin, but dared not say so. Attorney J. C. Bache, the next witness, said he saw White come out of the .court house a described by Ewen and saw Ewen look back when the first shot was fired. Attorney John Patrick said five minutes before th assassination he saw Jett and White conversing In front of the court house. He saw Jett go Into the court house several minutes before the shoot ing. A moment after Marcum fell he iw Jett leave tha courthouse by a side door. Later he saw Jett and White walk to the bridge and there saw them talking with Mrs. Maroum Johnson, Marcum's sister. He was corroborated by Kelly Kash, who occupied the same law office. County Attorney W. H. Blanton said he was standing with Sam Taulbee when the shots were flred. He could not see the assassin. The last witness of the day was William Combs, a wealthy farmer. He said Jett came out of the side door of the courthouse soon after the shooting and walked toward the Jail. Other witnesses had said Jett walked In the opposite direction. in the morning when the witnesses were ordered from the courtroom, attorneys for the defendants asked that County Judge Hargls be allowed to remain. On the ob jections of attorneys tor the commonwealth being sustained,- Judge-Hargls retired with the other witness . ,;T Saya Jttf Admitted Deed. Tonight Mrs. Mary Johnson, sister of the murdered attorney, made a startling state ment. In his address this morning Mr. Byrd said It would be proved that Jett ad mitted to Mrs. Johnson that he killed Macrum. In the evidence this afternoon he said Jett and White were talking to Mrs. Johnson at the bridge. Mrs. Johnson to night confirms what Byrd said would be her testimony, adding that she feared to tell this earlier, believing she would be as sassinated. "As I was returning home after the kill ing," she said, "I was overtaken by Jett He spoke to me and 1 said: 'Jett, did you kill my brother?' He replied: 'I did, but Hargls money made me do It" H said he was going to leave the country. Then Tom White came up and I asked htm If he had anything to do with the murder, and he said he was there, but did not fire the shot" Byrd says other wltnessea ' will testify that Jett admitted that he killed Marcum. On objection of the .commonwealth's at torney the Jury was not taken back to the home of Louis Hargls tonight and will be boarded at the Arlington hotel They are guarded by Elisor Jones, his deputies and a detail of soldiers. FREE TRADERS WIN (Continued from First Page.) tended that th house had th right to demand an opportunity for pronouncing Judgment on this Important fiscal ques tion. There waa enormous exaggeration tn the statement that It was foolish for Eng land to maintain a policy differing from that of the rest of the world. While the United States and Germany were prosper ous under protection. Great Britain's for eign exports were equal to the combined exports of the United States, Germany and France, which considering the enormous expansion of the population of the United States, was a truly surprising state of af fairs. The speaker dented that protectionist countries were cutting Great Britain out of tha markets of the world. Germany had not even hurt Great Britain's market In South America and when one consid ered the great natural advantages of the United' States, Its lsa and highly culti vated population, fit waa marvelous that It had not years ago attained the first place In international trade. The commerce of the United State had progressed, it was true, but It had been retarded rather than advanced by the adoption of protection. Asqnlth Trrlts Chamberlain. H. H. Aaquith, advanced liberal, who followed, declared that th. reason for the abandonment of the grain tax remained an unsolved and inscrutable mystery. Mr. Chamberlain had told the public that th tax did not fall on th consumer. If that were so It repeal waa a "magnificent display of International attachment," as It practically meant Great Britain was mak ing a present to th United States of the I1Z.6OO.O0O which the tax . brought In. AU th opposition's arguments against th tax wer employed . by Mr. Ritchie yesterday evening to Justify the repeal. Never had a small minority been so rapidly and com pletely Justified.- Describing the situation as politically In decent Mr. Asqutth urged an explicit dec laration of the collective Judgment of th cabinet In regard to the large questions of fiscal policy, and, turning to Mr. Chamber lain, who at that moment entered th. house and took hi seat beside Mr. Balfour, Mr. Asqulth asked. what was his position In view of yesterday' speech of the chan cellor of the exchequer, Mr. Ritchie. Was Mr. Chamberlain" a brand plucked from the burning, a backslider brought home again by that gentleman's persuasive Influence?
