POOR SEnVICB CAl'SB OP DEFEAT
People of Cleveland Reject Franchise
Ilecaase of This.
CLEVELAND, Oct. ES. Complete returns
from every precinct In the city In the
referendum election of yesterday show that
the so-called Security street railway fran
chise was defeated by the narrow margin
of (V'5 votes. The total number of votes
cast was 76.893, with 37,614 in favor of the
franchise and 88.24 against It. As a result
of the fitlure of the people to approve the
grant the entire street railway sywtem of
the etty will revert to the Cleveland Rail
way company.
The defeat of the franchise was doubtless
brought about by what was held to be the
Inadequate and unsatlsf actory service ren
dered by the Municipal Traction company,
the holding company, which operated the
lines on a 3-cent fare basis. The rate of
fare to be charged by the Cleveland Rail
way company will not be announced until
after a meeting of the directors, which is

rnln, n-Ued with sleM. fell here this mnrn
'n, and the preclyl'ntl -n was general
throughout northwestern M'ourl and
southeastern Kansas. In Oklahoma City,
where tin rainfall has been exceedingly
heavy for the last week, 3 01 Inches of
rain had fallen In the Inst twenty-four
hours, and the rnln continues today, with
no promise of abatement. Similar condi
tions prevailed In the vicinity of Fort
Worth, Tex., where slightly over two
Inches of water had fallen since yesterday
morning.
Springfield, Mo., repirted R slight rain
fall, the heaviest part of the storm belns
west of there. At St. Jcseph. Mo., there
w-ere flurries of snow. Local Weather Ob
server Cor.tior says the low temperature
may change the rain Into a snow or sleet.
Rain for Seventy-Two Honrs.
BARTLE8VILI.K. Ok.. Oct. ?3.-The
Caney river today was two feet higher
here than at any time since 18SB. Rain
has been falling nlong Its valley almost
constantly for the last seventy-two hours.
Bartlesvllle Is cut off from communication
with the outside world except by Interur
ban electric line service. The railroad
bridge across the Cany river, used Jointly
by the Santa Fe and Missouri, Kansas A

COFFEY VI L.LE, Kan., Oct. 23.-Th'e flood
situation In southern Kansas today was
not Improved. North of Coffeyvllle the
Verdigris river continued to rise, and this
morning lacked only a foot of reaching the
mark of 1904, which was the highest known
for twenty-five years. Many persons have
been compellejj to leave their homes In the
north, east and southeast parts of Coffey
vllle, where the lar.d Is low. Forest Park
is covered with two feet, of wuter.
All the way from Neodesha and Inde

damage to corn In the fields.
Only" One Road Itnsslsg.
The Missouri Pacific was the only rail
road that was able to bring a train Into
Coffeyvllle this morning. This was the
passenger train from Kansxs City. The
Missouri, Kansas & Texas tracks, north

between here and IJberty. are both so
deep under water that no trains can get
through. The service on the Mlourl Pa
cific line, east and west, through Coffey
vllle, also has been abandoned. West

farthel than Chetops, and the eastbound
trains cannot reach beyond Caney. The
Santa Fe also Is out between Independence

Early today the Missouri Pacific ran sev-
i eral coal cars on Its bridges In the bot
