WASHIN( TON, June —An ap. propriation of “1,000,006 for relief of Colorado flood victims was authorized late today by the senate in adopting & resolution offered by Senator Phipps of Colorado. PUEBLO, Colo., June 7,— With the recession of the flood waters of the Arkansas river to a point which made most of the down town streets and railroad yards accessible, con- niderable progress was expected to be made today in the work of clearing up the streets and buildings and search- ing for dead bodies. “The list of known dead probably will take a big jump today,” Capt. 0. L. Dennis of Denver, commander bf the Colorado rangers, sad. Aside from the relief work and cleanup of the city, interest centered in tho mysterious fatal shooting of BE. EB, Withers, poor inent businéss man, he was riding home from the as plant in his automobile last night with his son Vollie, Withers was shot through the head, the top of this head being blown off. An Inquest was to be ‘held some time today. Withers had been» commanded to halt when-the fatal shooting occurred 8, was bringing big car to a step in He was killed, according to. his son. Captain Dennis was inclined to believe that the shooting was the re- sult of accidental discharge of a weap- on, in whose hands no one could say today. Major Harris, Q.

Aside from the shooting of Mr. Withers, the night passed qufetly. A shot was fired just before daylight and rangers were sent out immediate- ly in an automobile to investigate. No report was made on it. It was planned today to send a res- cue party down the river in boatr in an effort to recover bodies along the river. Early today the expedition had not started, but it was expected to get off beore noon. Clear weather today’ would make possible recovery of many . bodies which have been found but whiei: could net previously be extricated from the debris, officers: said. Red Cross officials, at 2 mecting last night, estimated that the death Ust will mount to'500 when a complete count is possible, INQUEST DELAYED UNTIL TOMORROW PUEBLO, Colo., June 7.—Acting Coroner McCarthy announced shortly after noon that the inquest inta the fatal shooting last night of F. ©.
