DAM BREAKS; FLEE HOMES IN DENVER FLOOD Large Region in Finest Residence Section Is Under Water. BUSINESS AREA SUFFERS Quick Action by Phone Operators Saves Many Lives Along Stream. fly I nil' '/ /•-<** DENVER. Colo , Aug. 3.-Flood waters rushed down upon Denver today, after an irrigation dam at Castlewood had given way following heavy rains, threatening lass of life and causing heavy damage to property. All along its course through the city's finest residential district and along the edge of the business district, Cherry creek was put of its banks. While hundreds of residences and business houses were flooded to a depth of several feet and torrents of water ran through low-lying streets along the stream, no lass of life within the city proper had been reported. Wait Crest of Flood However, the flood had not yet reached its crest within the city, it was believed, and patrolmen and firemen were kept busy evacuating dwellings and business buildings along the stream. All along the creek bridges were out. The super-structure of the score or more concrete bridges across the stream in Denver was washed away. Whether there was loss of life in the valley above Denver, nearer to the broken dam, rould not be determined. Telephone wires were down Telephone operators at F’arker and Sullivan. Colo., reported that the water at those points almost was a mile wide and many feet deep. They said they were informed dozens of farm houses had been literally washed away. Phone Operators Save Lives Prompt action of these operators in warning residents along the stream was credited with saving many lives. Within an hour after the dam went out. about 3 a. m., Hugh Pavne, caretaker, reached a telephone and sent the warning into the threatened area. Newspaper men were rushed into the Denver residential district, and aided police and firemen in broadcasting the word of the flood. Telephone operators at every village along th° stream began plugging in their lines to threatened homes. Dawn found the creek banks lined with curious, frightened people, waiting the coming of the flood. At 6 15 a United Press correspondent drove along the bank of the creek for a mile or two. The stream was almost dry. a mere trickle between its concrete retaining walls. City Jail Is Flwxled Only minutes later as rhe flood reached the city, it had become a raging torrent, running trbore its banks, sending streams of water into the streets, hurting heavy debris against the bridges along its course. At the ettv .tail, which flanks the stream at the edge of the business district, prisoners were removed from their cells as water poured into the lower floors of the building The citv garage the lower portion of the police station, a section of the public market, and many other nearby buildings were flooded. Water was pouring waist deep through Blake street, in the wholesale business section of the city. SUICIDE WADES INTO CREEK BEFORE CROWD Spurn Offer rs Anglers Who Extend Fishing Poles From Rank.

Aug. 3 —Two persons were killed instantly, and two others injured seriously, when struck by lightning during a rainstorm which reached cloudburst proportions here Wednesday night. The d°ad were Mrs. Irene Friedner, 21 and her 4-year-old son Martin. who died together wnen lightning struck a corncrib in which they sought shelter when the storm broke suddenly.

The injured are Emanuel Longfleld. 69. Elkhart, and Theodore Loucks. 28. Rochester, employes of an Elkhart construction company, who were shocked by lightning while they worked on a bridge. Property damage from the storm was expected to run into the thousands of dollars. Small farm buildings were leveled, trees uprooted and communication lines paralyzed. Moisture Needed by Crops At the same time the rainfall was considered invaluable to crops which had been parched by a five-week drought. Precipitation amounting to 3.28 inches fell during the storm, anew ail-time record for Fulton county. The storm struck suddenly while Mrs. Fiedner and her young son were en route from their farm home, fourteen miles west of here, to the barn, half a block away. The mother and boy evidently had sought refuge from the elements in the corn crib. Their bodies were found by the father. Harley Feidner. after the storm subsided. Fishermen are Stranded The son was clasped in its mother's arms. Both had been burned by the bolt that struck the crib. Longfield and Loucks. the two injured men. were brought to Woodlawn ha*pital here Both were badly burned about the chest and legs from the lightning. A score of fishermen stranded in boats on Lake Manitou had difficulty making shore after rhe storm broke. Streets were flooded in Rochester and surrounding villages Water was reported running over the thoroughfares more than a foot deep immediately after the rain. Rain Kills 285 Sparrows Survivors of Mr*. Feidner and her son. besides the husband, include three other children, one a 5-months-old baby. Rain fell with such driving force that 285 sparrows were drowned at the home of Mrs. James Down, one mile south of Rochester. The dead birds were found lying on the highway and in the yard after water, a foot deep in some places during the storm, had soaked away.

The present "unsightly block. ' as it is referred to in the petition, was erected in 1879. Its removal and subsequent improvements, it is estimated, will cost between $25 000 and $75,000. The building is described in the petition as a "conflagration block.’ with insurance rates of $2.38 for SIOO insurance, compared with 31 cents for another more modern downtown hotel. Hearing on the petition will be conducted at 3:30 Monday. Fackler said the buildings to be erected on the site will be only temporary in nature, in order to obtain revenue pending possible plans for erection of a modern structure.

The investigation, conducted bv an agent of the bureau of prisons, disclased the department said that Druggan constantly had sought "exemptions and privileges," but that most of his requests sent to the bureau had been denied. u m m THE department was “surprised," a statement said, “to learn recently that he had been a trusty” and "while ostensibly driving a truck he was permitted by the guard under whose control he was to call at several places in the city of Leavenworth and visit a woman friend."

‘CHISELING’ BY NRA SIGNERS UNDER PROBE Methods of Dealing With Complaints to Be Talked by District Board. 25.000 ARE PLEDGED Response From Business Men of Indiana Called ■Magnificent.’ With 25.000 covenants from Indiana employers signed and delivered at the office of the United States department of commerce in Indianapolis. the district recovery board today took up the question of dealing with violators of the NRA code. Meeting with Francis Wells, Indiana recovery director at the Chamber of Commerce, the district board recently appointed by the President was to consider methods of investigating a score of complaints from local workers declaring that employers were not living up to the covenant, although they displayed the blue eagle. "The response of the business men in Indianapolis and throughout the state has been magnificent," said Wells, "which makes it all the more necessary to investigate relentlessly those who would break faith with the President. "While some of the complaints I have received from angry employes slating that their employers, while displaying the blue eagle, nevertheless were violating the terms n f the agreement, may have been due to misinterpretation of the code, each complaint will be investigated and sent to Washington. Uncertain on Methods Wells was not certain today of the methods of investigation which General Hugh S. Johnson, recovery administrator at Washington, will employ to move against violators of the covenant. "Many industries have volunteered to police their own constituents," he said, "but it is possible that a federal investigator may be sent here to check up. Twenty violations out of 23.000 .jigned covenants from Indiana employers is not large, but the aim of the government Is to have a 100 per cent cooperation." The national deadline on NRA codes Is Aug. 31. Co-operation Is Pledged Members of the Indiana Manufacturers Association representing every industry in the state, will be urged to conform to the national recovery program individually, it was decided Wednesday at a meeting of the board of directors at the Columbia Club. A resolution pledging support to the hotel code was adopted at a meeting of the Indiana Hotel Association at the Claypool Wednesday. A discussion of the unfair competition of tourist camps and clubs was a feature of the meetU'.g.

‘ Teeth ’ Urged in Laws to End Stream Pollution State Conservation Department Seeks Influence of 300.000 Sportsmen for Needed Legislation. BV ARCH STFINEL Time* SUIT Writer Puny laws . . . unawakened public opinion . . grasping factory owners who see a stream only from its use to industry . . . lax officialdom desirous of catering to big business more than public health, safety, and recreation. These factors are cited by conservationists of the state as standing in the way of Indiana ending its days of polluting its river*, creeks, and lakes. "It never is too late to begin, but it should have begun fifty years ago.' declares one prominent Ike Walton in commenting on The Indianapolis Times series of stories on stream pollution.

Kunkel, director of the department. have been divided into congressional districts and each district elects a representative to confer with the state conservation department on pollution matters or other affairs affecting the fish and game life of the state. The advisory board nf representatives will constitute sixteen men as the Second. Seventh. Eighth and Ninth congressional districts; each has been divided into two sections.

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Tim* Staff Writer Fearing that the new Hoosier Democratic Club. Inc., is a move by the McNutt clan to "slicker" R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, and other "outsiders.” Floyd E. Williamson. state auditor, revolted against joining today. “I didn't like the idea of turning the 2 per cent a month over to Bowman Elder.” Williamson declared. "We have a Democratic state committee already doing a good job and if there are any checkoff payments to be made I want the money turned over to Amos Woods, duly elected treasurer of the state committee." Williamson said he palsed this word around to employes in his office and told them that if they care to make out a check for membership at this time to address it to Woods and not to Elder. “I want to confer with the state chairman on this matter," Williamson said. Peters is on another patronage trip to Washington.

This plea was voiced today by city works board members 'o persons who carried away East Ohio street, between Dixie and Oriental street*. Making an inspection trip, board members and City Engineer A.

All the wooden blocks had been removed by fuelsaving citizens. What the board had expected merely to be a problem of hojv to find funds to make repairs to the street became a greater problem—that of what to do now. The city has no funds with which to resurface or pave the section of street this year. President Walter C Boetcher said. He added that it may be necessary to resurfec it temporarily with old wooden blocks salvaged from other wooden streets. Board members attributed the "theft" of the street blocks to stories published Wednesday announcing that all block streets would be resurfaced next year. In several cases, contractors repaving such streets have permitted the public to carry away the old wooden blocks for fuel. NAVY YARDS ON CODE 40-Hour, Five-Day Week to Be Placed in Effect Wednesday.
