FLOODS SWEEPING NORTHERNILLINOIS WORST IN DECADE |Small Streams Swell to Torrents [ and Large Rivers Overflow Banks, Inundating Country. JOLIET IS STRUCK HARD Town of Rockdale is Submerged Six Feet Beneath the Waters. WATER SUPPLY THREATENED CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Northern Illinois today faceéd flood conditions such as have not been experienced for a decade. Small streams were swollen into torrents and larger rivers overflowed their bans andk inundated thousands of acres, mar- ooner hundreds of homes, threatened pollution of water supplies and did damage estimated at many hundred thousands of dollars. Joliet and nearby towns suffered {from the overflow of the Desplaaines (river and its tributaries which sub- |merged the village of Rockdale be- yneath six feet of water, swept a | bridge at Channahon and inundated the lower section of Joliet. In the valley of the Fox river trom Flgin to Ottawa there was flood damage the greatest danger being at Aurora, {where whole sections of the city were jsubmerged and for a time the artesian wells which supply the eity with drink- Go un Rampage. Further north the Rock river, and its | con?luents, tbe Pecatonica and Sugar ! rivers went on a rampage and theratened fhe destruction of interurban and steam {raflroad bridges. i Tn Rockford a school house was sur- {rounded by the flood and the children |prevented from attending. HBoats and irafts took the place of wagons and auto- jmobiles in many towns and cities. N {1088 of life was reported, but many pe |#ons were assisted from their homes. In Chicago a warning to boil the wates | was issued by the health authorities be- {cauee of possible sewage pollution and I8l day firemen were kept busy pumping out flgoded basements.

Nelson, for Fourteen Years Worker in Organiza- tion, Passes Away. | !INTRODUCES THE PENNY LUNCH | | | | Mrs. N. H. Nelson, president of the | Omaha Woman's club and mother of the penny lunch system at the Train school, died at Clarkson hospital *‘yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock jof acute lymphatic leukemia. Mrs. Nelson had been ill but fi weeks, dating from an attack of the grippe and general break-down due to | over-work in launching the school lunch and her death comes as a great blow to all clubwomen in the city. Mrs. Nelson was 4 years old on Christmas day, just a few days after she became ill. She had lived in Omaha all her Iife and was a graduate of the Omaha High school. Her: ma to Mr. Nelson . took place September 12, 1901, Beside her husband, Mrs. Nelson's father, William Robertson: a brother, Eerl Robertson, and three sisters, Mrs. R. E, McKenz'e, a teacher at the Clifton Hill school; Mrs. Ulrich Crew and Mrs, L. M. Rodgers, survive. All members of the family were at her bedside when the ond came. The time for the funeral will be set M t Capable Executive. this morning. | Mirs. Nelson was one of the most capable and well-beloved cxecutives who ever presided at Woman's club meetings. An unusually attractive woman, both in spirit and in she had endeared herselt to clubwomen all over the city and her loss is keenly feit. Toward the success of the penny soup kitchen at the Train achool, Mrs. Nelson bent every energy, but on the opening day, less than three weeks ago, she was unable to be present, but was removed from her home to the hospital. A large photograph of Mrs, Nelson hangs in the lunchroom of the school. Aside from the soup kitchen, Mrs. Nel- son also instituted the advisory board of the Woman's club, composed of past presidents of the club, person, Fourteen Years' Service. Another work which Mirs, Nelson was especially desirous of completing during her administration was the publication | of the club's history. Mrs. Nelson rose to the presidency in the club after h ing held the offices of assistant tre urer, treasurer, secretary and first vice president, her activity in the club dating | back fourteen years. Since only department meetings of the club are to be held this coming week, it is thought no change will be made in the club calendar. The officers of the club plan to meet today to arrange for their part in the funeral services. Mrs. E. M. Syfert, first vice president of the club, becomes president, owing to Mrs. Nelson's death | OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN | DECLARED BANKRUPT | NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Oscar Hammer- | stein, former. grand opera impresario, | was adjudicated a bankrupt today, by an | | order signed by Federal Judge Mayer | The order, which directed him to appear for examination before a referce, follows his fallure to answer an inveluntary petition in bankruptcy filed January 4 by creditors | Maintain WASBHINGTON, Jan. #-Only by limit- | ing immigration can high standards of | living and good wages be maintained, | among American workmen, Frank Mor rison, secretary of the American Feder- ation of Labor, and Representative Bur- nett de , in advocating the Mterary test bill today before the house Immigre- tion committee Representative Burnett, man of the committee and introducer of the bill, declared that of 2,500,000 for- elgners in the United States only 3.000 were attempting to learn English Ignorant and unambitious, he declared they work cheaply, live in squalor and who is chalr- Immigration Must Be Limited to Wages, Says Morrison| EDWARD L. LOMAX DIES IN THE WEST ysis, Former Omahan §tricken ONTH for years gent of the Union a long time passen- anager of the Western Pacific ahd rpobably one of the best known and most prominent railroad men in the country, died Friday noon at his home in San Francisco, after an illness of about a month. The an- nouncement of his death was brought by the Associated and came in pri vate messages to friends in this city. For some months prior to his death, Mr. Lomax hed been in rather poor health until the latter part of December, when he sustained a stroke of paralysis, ren dering one side completely helpless. He was removed to a private sanitarium in San Francisco, where he was treated by the most skillfl doctors on the Pacific coast. After a few days he commenced to gain strength and some use of his arm. Mrs. Lomax, writing to friends in this city, asserted that she felt very hopeful and that the reports of the doctors were encouraging. Death Unexpected. About ten days sugo Mr. Lomax had improved so much that he was removed to his home and untll the word of his death came it was supposed that he was getting better. That his death was unex pected s borne out by the telograms that state that he dled of affection the heart, which became acute his convalescence following the of paralysis, It is not known when the funeral will be held, nor what “disposition will made of the body. Mr, Lomax is survived by his widow and two grown.children, Edward Lloyd Lomax, jr., and a daughter, Mildred. He and his family moved away from Omaha in July, 1910, when he resigned as gen eral passenger agent of the Union Pa- olfic to accept the appointment of pas senger traffic manager of the Western Pacific, holding this position at the time of his death. Edward Lloyd Lomax was born in Fred- ericksburg, Vt., February %, 1852, and consequently was alinost 64 years of age. He was educated at Columbus university, Virginia, taking a full course in raliroad and mining engineering. When but 17 years of age he entered the United States engineering corps uder General J.

Coronation of Yuan Shi Kai is Put 0ff Indefinitely PEKING, Jan. 21.—The coronation of Yuan Shi Kal as emperor of China has been postponed indefinitely. The reason given officlally is the uprising in southern China. The forelgn office notified the various legations todmy that the Chinese govern- ment had decided that the enthronement would take place early in February, but t Yuan Shi Kal had issued an order cancelling arrangements in view of the disturbances in Yunnan province.

MONTENEGRO TO FIGHT IT OUT PARIS, Jan, 20.—The Geneva cor- respondent of the Temps says that, according to dispatches from Vienna, an active renewal of military opera- tions has been undertaken by the Austrians in Montenegro. General Koevess' army is in movement, ac- cording to these advices, and one Austro-Hungarian division is ad- vinelng in the Cettinje-Podgoritsa direction, while annther is movinx south along the Adriatic coast toward | Antivarf.

Corfu Seized Because It Was Base for the Teuton Submarines LONDON, Jan. 2l—Seisure by the French of the Creek island of Corfu is now known to have been due to the lo- cation there of an Austro-German sub- marine base. A second base has been located in the narrow channel between Corfu and the Albanian coast. Most of the submarine raids in the eastern Medit- erranean have been directed fronw these two bases by a fleet embracing Uerman as well as Austrian craft. Submarine activities of the Germans in the North Sea have !argely abated, owine to International complications and the relentless warfare of British destroyers.
