GIRL AND MOTHER | HELD FOR MURDER, Daughter Hysterical When Accused of Aiding Mrs. Kaber Kill Husband. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 7.—Miss Marian McArdle, twenty, indicted with her mother and grandmother on a charge| of first degree murder in connection with the slaying of her stepfather, Dan Kaber, wealthy publishar, in | Lakewood, Ohio, nearly two years ago, was hysterical this morning. Taken to police headquarters after she and her mother had been arrested here, the girl pleaded with detectives not to question her. With arraign- ment set for this afternoon, she turned over to the police matron for administration of restoratives. The police declared that the .girl, who is charged with rifling the Kaber home to make it appear that the slay-| away to the h ing was the work of robbers, gave them no real information.

The American fleet's strongest COLORADO FLOOD “A flood like ghat which sivept through Pueblo, Col, is liable to occur almost any time at any one of a score of different points in the United States,” sald Dr. George Otis Smith, who, as director of the United Bmm geological survey, is the man officially sources. “Therefore, not only is pre- vention of floods a thing to be consid- ered, but along with it preparation against flood damage. TI a one. For instance, in the Miami valley area, which, in 1913, was swept by dis- astrous floods which took scores of lives and caused millions of dollars in property damage, plans have been made, through the building of deten- tion reservoirs, by which it is anticl- pated that a similar flood of 40 per cent i greater volume than that of 1913 can be taken care of without great prop- erty damage; that is¢ the detention re- servoirs are expected to keep the Miam! river in its banks, even though the flood should be nearly half again as great as the one in 1913. “Such floods as that in Pueblo are caused by conditions that cannot well be foreseen. They are providential. Investigation has established the fact that storms similar to the one that caused the great floods of 1913 have occurred in at least a dozen different parts of the country, and these may occur again at any time. It is like lightning, which, as the saying has it, never strikes t: e in the same place, although it is liable to do so. Damage Prevention Considered. “The extent of the damage by tor- rential currents, by cloudbursts and heavy storms is governed by the con- gestion of districts in which the storms occur. If it is in uninhabited or sparse- ly populated areas, floods pass on with little property damage: if floods occur in thickly populated communities, as in in charge of the country’s water re-| is can be| SEEN AS WARNING TO ADOPT PREVENTIVE MEASURES Dayton and Hamilton, Ohlo, in 1913, and in Pueblo, as at present, the loss of life and property is large. ‘One way that cities can prepare against floods is by leaving a con- siderable clear-way between the busi- ness or residential districts and the ]chlnnel of the river. For instance, Harrisburg, Pa, has made a park on its river front, thereby creating not only a beautiful park, but an insur- | ance against great flocd gamage. | “It would be well if cities through- out the country would bear this in mind in making changes in their building districts. Oftentimes, as a matter of fact, it is Snost frequently the case that structures are bullt to the very water's edge. It would be well if cities would consider in mak- ing building changes the establ ment of parks in the congested districts. River Control Means Profit. “There is no doubt that the coun- try in general is ready to give practi- cal attention to the control, develop- ment and utilization of its rivers. If the people could only be made to un- derstand that the control of rivers means millions of dollars to them and is one of the greatest economic ad- vantages that can be taken of the natural resources, they would not be slow in responding to plans for river development. Not only such develop- ment as looks only to flood-preven- tion—aithough this in itself would cause the saving of billions of dollars —but in providing a uniform flow for rivers and streams by which power could be developed that could be brought within the reach of hundreds of communities which do not have it now. “The development of waterpower of the rivers of the country is going to be one of the great achievements the United States will see in the next few years. It will be a saving to the peo- ple such as is not fully comprehended now.” FIRST LIST OF IDENTIFIED DEAD IN PUEBLO FLOOD GIVEN OUT By the Asocizted Pross.

June T.—Mystery shrouds the death here late last night of Ernest E.

The top of his head was blown away, and Cor- oner Ray McCarthy is conducting an the shot that killed him was fired from outside the car or from inside. From the nature of the wound, the authorities, are also acting on the theory that the weapon employed might have been a riot gun. % ‘A" soldier walking his post within a couple of blocks of the scene of the tragedy says he heard a shot and hur- ried to Grand avenue, where, between 7th and Sth streets, he found two automobiles, one of which had crash- ed into the rear end of the other.
