LAD WITH WASIITUB CRAFT IN FLOODED DISTRICT.

LARGER CANAL AND NEW AQUEOUCTARE PLANKED Water Company Learns Lesson and Will' Take Steps to Increase Its Facilities. WORK BEGINS APRIL i It was given out yesterday that work would begin at once upon the repair and reconstruction of the central canal, the main source of supply for the water of tho city. Trees and shrubbery will be planted. Because of the unusual demand for city water the canal will be both widened and deepened. It will be widened outside tho city. There will be no part of the canal that will not have a depth of six feet and many places will be much deeper than this. The average depth, it is thought, will be about five feet. "The enlargement of the canal," said F. A. W. Davis last night, "Is occasioned by 1 the extra large number of demands for Jiydrants over the city. Last year there was an average increase of 100 per month and this year we expect the demand to exceed even that of last year. For this reason pipe laying will be given the preference and will receive our immediate attention." A new aqueduct will be built and over this will be erected a largv waterway. Mr. Davis said last night that the company was not sure as yet Just what proceedings would be taken in the repair of the old canal and the building of the aqueduct. In any event, work, it was thought, will begin in a very short time, perhaps by the 1st of April. PRAISE IS GIVEN HEROES OF RECENT DISASTER Policemen Get Credit for Brave Exploits in Face of Flood Danger. The excellency of the work of the police during the flood was commented upon by everyone yesterday. Since the flood danger is over, the men have a number of amusing stories to tell of their experiences. Secretary Grout, of the Indianapolis Charity Organization, said yesterday: "I think that the police should be praised for the work they have done." Secretary Grout added: "There has been little actual suffering in the city. People have been very fortunate in not having more suffering. We only had to assist two families Monday." THOUSANDS KNOWN TO HAVE FLED THE FLOOD Deserted Homes Sufficient Form City Were Abandoned. to Now that many of the "flood sufferers" are able to again take up their residence In their abandoned homes, it is possible to make some estimate of tho number of houses in the city, the occupants of which were forced to leave before the advancing waters. , Street Commissioner Ilerpick said yesterday afternoon that he estimated that the number of such houses in the Pogue's run. Fall creek and Whlto river districts must be at least 3.000. On this estimate the number of people driven out by the Hood would be about 12,000. DROWNED GIRL'S BODY FOUND NEAR BRIDGE Corpse of Miss Brenneman Had Lodged Near Indiana-Avenue Structure. The body of Goldie Brenneman, who lost her life in the flood Saturday night, was found near the Indiana-avenue bridge yesterday morning. The body had lodged against a barbwire fence.

These Include the Volunteers of America, Salvation Army and Charity Organization. Over a hundred Iersons were cared for by these organizations. " Dr. Morgan has taken under his supervision the relief work of the Flanner Guild, whose quarters are filled with twenty-four victims. Fifty I'ood victims were cared for by the Volunteers of America at their hall last night. The Salvation Army barracks Is also tilled with the homeless. Several refugees have made the Friendly Inn. which is under the Charity Organization Society, their home. An exciting experience took place Sunday, when the city ambulance plunged through the muddy waters of West Indianapolis and rescued a Mrs. Williams, suffering from typhoid ft-ver. Twenty-five victims were sheltered by tha Ilarley Glbbs settlement yesterday. "BOIL YOUR WATER, CLEAN YOUR yard; IS ORDER A request has been made by the City roard of Health that all yards in the flooded districts be cleaned of mud and drift and freed from puddles of water Immediately lest an epidemic of malaria result from the delay. At the same time the board advises that all city water be boiled to avoid the danger of typhoid fever, especially as the water now ia the city mains 1.-: pumped from the river.

; M -? z t2 'til Lt J - - . OF John McGregor Has Cause for Congratulation Over Safety of New Structures. MUCH DAMAGE IN COUNTY John McGregor, as champion of new and substantial bridges in Marion county, was the recipient of congratulations yesterday for his determined efforts in behalf of protection against possible floods. "It was with a great deal of pleasure," said Mr. McGregor yesterday, "that I stood on the new bridges within the city and saw and heard the torrents of the flood beat against our new bridges and at tho same time bo perfectly safe." Reports were made to the County Commissioners yesterday of the approximate damage that was done to bridges and culverts, washed away in Marion county. Damage done to bridges in this particular were considered providential, as it would have been necessary to substitute new bridges for the old ones in a short time. Word was received at the county surveyor's office yesterday that the steel bridge at Millersville on the Millerfville pike had been washed out. Wayne township was considerably damaged by the flood. Culverts are out in great numbers and the roads are utterly Impassable. Fields on each side are being used as thoroughfares.

Engineer Shutt did double duty in maintaining the temperature at its accustomed figure. Com munication was opened with the West Washington-street pumping station and extra efforts made to keep up the water supply. OLD PUMP MUCH USED SINCE RECENT FLOOD The old pump at Meridian and Washington streets ha3 not been used so much in the. last ten years as it has been in the last three days.

CAR SERVICE RESTORED Oil MAHY0TL0CAL HUES Water on Tracks Causes Abandonment of Riverside Line Passengers Transferred.

BRIDGES ARE DAMAGED At about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a partial service had been established with power borrowed from interurban roads, the Indianapolis Traction & Terminal Company was able to resume an almost complete service. Water on portions of the track to Riverside prevented traffic on that line, but it Is suposed that this can be resumed to-day. It is expected that the water. In that section of the city will have fallen away within a few hours. It will again be necessary for the streetcar company to transfer passengers at the Northwestern-avenue bridge, as that structure is now completely out of commission and can never again be used for street car traffic. 1$ the bridge is even barricaded against pedestrians, as Street Commissioner Ilerpick declared yesterday It would b. the street-car company may abandon the line beyond the bridge. A temporary bridge of piling may be constructed. The street-railway company must still transfer passenger.-? at the River-avenue bridge and at a point on the west bank of the river, where the temporary West Michigan-Street line runs along Bank avenue. At the latter point the track was in dangerous proximity to the river. Passengers are transferred, and must walk from Xew York to Michigan street. WEST WASHINGTON-ST. STILL DRAWING CARD Many People View Muddy Water and Other Flood Scenes Hotel Destroyed. Thousands of people visited the vicinity of the West Washington-street bridge yesterday, although one woman was heard to remark that "there wasn't anything there to see but a lot of muddy water. The chief point of interest was the Riverside Hotel building, on the north side of Washington street and immediately at the bank of the river. This building is now a total wreck, as more than half of it has been tumbled Into the river by the caving in of the bank under its foundations. Just north of the demolished building tons of. earth of the river's brink have been washed Into the stream, widening the course of the river by at least ten feet. With Homes Watersoaked and Household Goods Damaged Many Are in Pitiable Plight. PARK ANIMALS ESCAPE Sixty or seventy families abandoned their homes on Northwestern avenue between Twentieth and Thirtieth streets yesterday afternoon and sought shelter on higher and drier land. Pitiable and helpless was the condition of those families yesterday as they were carrying their meager wardrobe and leading their children to abodes of, safety and shelter. Although the water went off from their piazzas and general access to the dwellings could be obtained, the damp condition of lower floors rendered habitation impracticable. On West Twenty-seventh street the house of Thomas Jones was submerged to the extent of eighteen inches and in a like state were the dwellings of his five neighbors. With water everywhere Mr. Jones was unable to get a drop to drink and had to go through five houses of his friends to fill a bucket with the plentiful yet precious fluid. Although the menagerie survived without suffering to any noticeable extent, several thousand dollars would be a rough estimate of the injury to Riverside Park. The buildings were under ; several feet of water yesterday afternoon, although tho water was receding two inches an hour. All of the animals but the deer had to be moved to higher ground, which task caused great trouble to the keepers and even last night an occasional whelp of a dissatisfied wolf broke the evening silence.

The Louisville division of the Pennsylvania road, which has practically been closed since last Friday night, opened its road last night. This road has been detouring all through trains on the Loulsvilie division, but all local trains have been annulled completely.

It is thought that it will be able to open Its tracks again. WATER CQMPAHY TOTS BROKENLEVEE REBUILT Official Urges Board to Authorize Reconstruction of Embankment on Fall Creek. CALLS IT PUBLIC DUTY To urge that the Fall creek levee might be rebuilt before June freshets F. A. W. Davis, general manager of the Indianapolis Water Company, appeared before the Board of Public Works yesterdaj' morning. Sev eral breaks in the levee Saturday inundated Cerealinetown and put the water company's north pumping station out of service. Mr. Davis represented to the board that the levee was constructed some years ago by George W. Stout, who platted an addition, which it protected, and placed the lots on the market. Mr. Stout, .Mr. Davis stated, built the levee under a contract with the Indianapolis, Logansport & Chicago Railroad Company, by the terms of which that road was to run Its line along the top of the embankment, although this road was never built. At the same time the water company constructed a levee on the south bank of the stream and on the river bank. "We have kept up our levee ever since," said Mr. Davis last night, "but we claim that our neighbor, Mr. Stout, has not done fo. We are not so concerned as to who shall build the levee as wc are that It shall be built, and before June." Mr. Davis represented to the Board of Works yesterday that tho city has the right to build levees Just as it has to Improve streets and alleys and to do other public work, paying for the construction by the assessment of benefits and damages against resident property holders. In the present instance the cost of the new levee would, under those circumstances, fall upon Mr. Stout and those people to whom he has sold lots west of the levee.

NIXETY-POUXD PRESSURE The resumption of pumping at the north pumping station of the Indianapolis Water Company is expected this morning. Fires were started there yesterday evening, and one pump will be put in operation this morning, with the other pump following it in a day or two. Relief from the muddy water now in the mains can scarcely be looked for before the latter part of the week, as It will take that long to exhaust the river water that overflowed into the reservoir. This must all be pumped out before water from the company's wells can replace it. The one engine at the north station, with the aid of the engine at the West Washington-street pumping station, will give a water pressure In the mains over the residence portion of the city of eighty pounds, while the downtown section will have ninety pounds.
