be done for them. However, every effort
hsa ben made to succor the needy by pro
viding hHter nd food for the men, women
nd children. , .
There ha ben a tons string of moving
vehicle today csrrylng the effect of
nany people who are (retting residence on
(round high enough tt avoid any posalbll-!
Ity of overflow. This is especially true of
;h American famine, many of whom re
side at the down town hotel, altuated
along the plaiaa Zaragosa and Hidalgo.
Many of these families have removed to
remote Sections of the city, although the
locality of their hotels la thought to be b
yond tho pale of possible Inundation.
Soldiers Ala fferera.
The police,. rural ea and soldier played a
prominent part laat night and today Hi
guarding and caring for the city. All of
the police reserves were called Into service.
The rurkles wete busy and detachments of
troopi from the headquarter of General
Trevlna were utilised to secure shelter for
the sufferers. ...
While ai yet there ts no scarcity of food
and the city Is amply able to car for Its
destitute, there la fear of a shortage in
the near future. There have been several
washouts all along the line of the National
railroad between Laredo and Saltlllo,
Mexico," and not a train has entered the
city of Monterey either, from the north or
south for the last seventy-two hours. The
through southbound train from Laredo has
been tied, up at Monterey for that period
df time, having succeeded in getting that
far before the disastrous washout struck
the village of Qalondrina and carried away
a large portion of the railroad tracks, while
the northbound train la tied up at Haltillo.
All wires over the National railway weie
prostrated all last night and until late to
day, when a line was restored and It was
learned that there is a possibility that the
washed out track may be repaired and
traffic resumed on a curtailed schedule
late Monday or Tuesday. '
Hundreds of telegrams have been passing
through enroute to Monterey today request
ing Information as to the fate of friends
and relatives. Communication has been
established through a circuitous route and
tne telegrams are being anawt red as rapiuiy
as possible. Their general Import Is ' Don't
worry," "Am safe," "Am. well, but many
Uvea lost yesterday." None seem to b
explicit and state the exact loss of life.
There are some of a pathetic nature, how
ever. They report the drowning of entire
families missing fathisf mothers, children
and relative.
No Attempt, to Ilnry Dead.
While semi-official reports state that up
to noon today 400 bodies have been recov
ered, there has. thus far been no attempt
to Inter the dead. , They, are being placed
along the banks of the river on the higher
ground, where an Improvised morgue has
been constructed and . there await Identi
fication. . ; -. : j '
The bodies are guarded by soldiers, who
escort any.' searoher for missing friend
or relative along the lines of dead and In
many cases where the worst fear of the
seeker are realized the guards have a try
ing ordeal on their hands caring for the
hysterical.' '.',(.
It Is thought some- arrangements will be
made tomorrow to Inter the dead. Those
who have been Identified will be buried
by friends and relatives, while tho un
identified, aCter every endeavor shall have
been mad to establish their identity, will
be taken In hand by the city authorities
and given decent Interment.
The severe torrents of rain which had
been falling all morning ceased shortly
after U o'clock today and the fear that
the river would again rise to even greater
hilghts was dissipated, thus In a measure
relieving the prevalent anxiety.
It is estimated that the river baa risen
to a height of fifty to sixty feet. ...
v Appeal for Aid.
It l understood that. -the. appeal for aid
ha gone out from, the oltf of Monterey.
One statement is to the effect that Consul
General Hanna has . appealed to the au
thorities t Washington that the general
appeal be, mad by the federal government
through the medium of the press request
Ing monetary assistance for the thousands
olNioedy people who have- lost home and
chattels In the flood.. Acoordtng to this
Information the consul, has made thl ap
peal In the name of .the American colony
of Monterey. Monterey I one of the moat
progressive cities lh the republic and Is
often referred to as the "Chicago of
Mexico. Large amount of merchandise,
machinery and food products are imported
to this city from "the United States, It
being estimated that 8K per cent of the
population of the city are consumer to
great extent of American good. In view
of thl fact It I thought that the contribu
tion for the relief of the stricken poor In
the city will com in promptly and liberally.
LA HE DO, Tex., Aug. . Direct com
munication with Monterey waa re-established
by the Associated Press at 10:30 to
night. The operator, at that point states
that the number ef dead will reach 1.200.
The Monterey New was compelled to sus
pend publication for two day owing to high
water.

only aerial craft of any value to the army
and the possibilities of aerial navigation
were believed to be restricted to signal
purposes. . ,
The success of aviation week at Rhelms,
France, during which the practicability of
aeroplanes was so fully demonstrated, has
been an Important factor In determining
the course of the signal corps. At present
the army has in its possession the Baldwin
dirigible, purchased Jast year, and one of
the Wright aeroplanes, in addition to per
fectly equipped, sheiln, ,M , .
What the signal cqrjje wljl ask, of con
gress' during the nift session will depend
entirely upon the final analysis of the va
rious aviation contest scheduled to take
place within the next two month and upoti
the reports to be made by military attaches
at foreign capitals where acltivlty In aero
nautics is a factor. '
Several conclusions have been reached by
the signal corps expert as a result of re
cent events. It has 'been determined that
the construction of a motor balloon of the
Zeppelin type, the most successful of the
lighter than air craft, would involve an
expense Tar In excess of Its value to the
army at the present stage In the develop
ment of military aeronautic. The failure
of Wellman' balloon, the collapse of the
Clement-Bayard, and the signal corps' own
unfortunate experiences with the army
motor balloon No. 1, have all tended to
strengthen the opinion of army officers in
favor of aeroplanes.
General James Allen, the chief signal
officer, 1 contemplating the issuance of
new specifications for another heavier than
air machine to be ba,sed upon the conclu
s'.on reached by General Allen and the off!
cer of the aeronautical division after re

aviators will be taught the manipulation

of his great victory In the International

lion' share of the honor of the meeting.

won by Curtis quit handily, notwith
standing hi penalisation.
Curtis only missed winning the lap
speed contest from Blerlot by a small mar
gin. He captured second prise In that
event, which was over the full circuit
of ten kilometers, or S.21 miles, raising
his total money winning for the meeting
to SS.OO0 francs, beside J he International
cup, which (roes to the Aero club of Amer
ica, Inscribed with his name.
As In yesterday's contest, an accident
the only serious one of the meetingsre
moved Blerot, the American' most dan
gerous competitor, from today's three-lap
speed contest.
Blerlot' escape from death waa a nar
row one. He had passed the first turn
in the Prix de la Vitesse when the rudder
suddenly failed to respond. The machine
turned completely over three times, land
ing with such foroe that the petrol tank
burst and, catohlng fire from the hot mo
tor, enveloped the machine and pilot In
flames. Before Blerlot could extricate
himself, he waa burned about the fare and
hands, but, fortunately, not seriously.
With Blerlot out of the contest, Latham
remained Curtlsa' only serious rival. The
race was Intensely exciting. Latham, with
"No. 18, " started only four minute ahead
of the American, who gave chase. Curliss
overhauled him In every kilometer, finish
ing less than 400 meter behind the French
man. The time by lap was: Latham,
8:47". 17:38, t6:S2H; Curtis, 7:H4. 16:00,
14:16V,.
The committee first posted Latham' time
with one-twentieth penalisation as 27:Klrt.
giving Curtlsa the victory, a the others
who had taken part In the event had not
approached the man' speed. Latham,
however, refused to accept defeat and
brought out "No. 29." With this he flew
considerably faster, hi time being recorded
at 8:33, 17.03, SS:1HH. The time, but not the
amount of penalisation, was posted and
the race was exciting, as the penalization,
which was only one-twentieth, would bring
the time 26:33. seven second less than
that made by Curtlss. No official Informa
tion could be obtained beyond the fact that
the Judges were awaiting report? from the
field commissioner at 6:30, after which no
start would be possible.
Curtlss, however, who said he had been
obliged thrice to muffle hi motor on the
previous flight on account of pitching, de
clared hi confidence to do better In another
attempt, and decided to try again. Within
two minutes hi machine wa out and
speeding across the line. He flew higher
than he had ever gone before, keeping the
throttle wide open and making each round
at swifter speed than in any of his previous
efforts. The first round he covered in
7:49, the watches showed 16:37 at the end
of the second round and they were snapped
at 23:2$ at the finish. With his penalisa
tion Curtis' time stood at 25:49 and this
gave him the race by almost a minute
margin.. But when he learned the second
round had been traversed In 7:48, less than
one second from Blerlot' lap record, he
Insisted on making another effort, but
failed to equal the Frenchman' time by
four seconds.
The offtolal summaries:
Prix De La Vitesse: First, Curtlss, penali
zation one-tenth, 23:49; second, Latham,
''No. 29," penalization one-twentieth, 26:33;

Omaha Boosters Who Landed Con

SOME GOOD TALES THEY TELL
Colonel Liked Those White Hate and
Bell So Much They Woke Up
Omnhana at Nlsht to
Got Thoan.
Triumphant and "Tubllant, the members
of the Omaha Ad club arrived yesterday
from their strenuous campaign at Louis
ville. And they returned like conquering
heroes, for they achieved all. Not only
did they land the next convention for
Omahai but they gave the city a bunch of
advertising which will be long remembered
In the "blue grass" oountry.
Those who returned yesterday were:
Ralph Sunderland, Robert H. Manley, BJ.
T. Swobe, F. W. Harwood, Mel Uhl, Jr.,
Will A. Campbell, T. B. Hornbeok, Prince
Phillip. And many are the tales they
tell.
"In presenting the Invitation of Omaha
to the Aasoctated Ad Club of America to
hold the 1910 meeting In this city, E. T.
Swobe showed that Omaha had aome thing
no other city In the country could equal
and the performance of the Omaha dele
gates had shown that the city offered un
usual opportunities," said Mr. Harwood,
secretary of the club.
"Our Ak-Sar-Ben wa one of the main
argument used by Mr. Swobe In address
ing the convention. One week of typical
Kentucky hospitality had been enjoyed, but
Mr. Bwobe's description of what Samson
would do had its effect.
"Another argument in securing the con
vention waa the proposal that the Commer
cial club of Omaha had a bureau of pub
licity which made It a business to advertise
widely all conventions coming to the city,
with the same irterest in each at 1 shown
by cities holding big expositions or carni
vals of their own creation.
"Thl was an entirely new offer. Coupled
with the fact that the Omaha club wa
the original Dobb club, that It haa beeu
represented at every meeting of the as
sociation since the club organised a na
tional association and that the showing
trade In Louisville Indicated live one at
home, made Omaha the unqualified choice.
Chicago and Kansas City both helped
On aha, while Louisville, the host, could
scarcely refrain from jumping Into the
campaign and fighting actively for Omaha.
Good Ono on Manley.
' The Omaha advertising matter wa In
such demand that It wa early exhausted,
even to the white hata which the boys
bought for themselves. In thl connection
a story true as It I on Robert Manley
show how popular Omaha souvenirs are.
"Manley had spent a hard evening. He
was just dosing off Into pleasant dreams
when a pounding at the door aroused me.
I opened the door. One of the trim mem
bers of the Louisville police force stood at
the door.
" 'Come in, officer.' I commanded.
"The officer stepped In. 'Here, Manley,
get on your clothe,' said I. 'An offloer
has called for you.'
' 'What's the matter?' asked Manley,
rubbing his eyes, as the officer stood at
parade rest and motionless.
' 'Having firework on your person. Get
on your clothes.'
"By this time Manley wsa turning white
around his gills and the officer had not
said a word. Finally the officer broke the
silence: 'Say, have you fellows got one of
them white hats for the man on the beat
here,' he sAl.
"It was t o'clock In the morning and the
officer got the hat.
"Htaylng at the hotel to guard the head
quarters and five sheep-bells whlob the
Omahans had saved out. Will A. Camp
bell wa asleep at the switch when he
htard a key In his door. Awakening sud
denly he received an apology from Julius
Beelbach, proprietor of the famous hotel.
for disturbing him, and saw the owner of
the finest hotel In the south disappearing
with three of the sheep bells."
