Every important wholesale mer cantile house and the majority of the retail stores were flooded and stocks ruined, SPECTER OF DISEASE HAN OVER CITY The specter of disease hung over Pueblo today with all modern sani- tation facilities suspended by the flood’s damage to the city’s water system. “Boll the Water’ appeared, inspired by the health board. Detailed instructions were printed and spread broadcast to re- introduce the most primeval sani. tary methods along scientific lines. Barber shops were closed for lack of water. Hotel guests went un- washed. The onty water available came in milk cans from Colorado Springs or from surface and artesian wells. The Red Cros is on guard against an outbreak of typhoid among the hundreds of refugees at each of the public Inatitutions har boring the homeless. Milk for babies is used almost immediately on arrival, there being no ice to keep the liquid. FROGS CROAK IN BUSINESS SECTION How :at Pueblo bas lapsed toward the primeval is shown by the fact that last night the city “enjoyed” a booming serenade from thousands | of frogs rejoicing over conversion of the best business district into a model swamp. To escape the unhygienlc dangers of crowded buildings in the business hat band signs and residential quarters, without the commonest accommodations, Col.

Bankers looked like hoboes, their clothes mud-bespattered and baggy. | | Women, even, failed to keep up their normal appearance, going early to market down town in Mother Hubbards, khaki trousers and blouses, and aprons. | MOTHERS. GUARD SICK CHILDREN As the warning calis were sounded of the new floods approaching, {mothers in some instances were | | forced to wrap their sick children in| blankets and carry them to safety, One mother near the United Press headquarters begged soldiers to per- mit her to risk the danger of the flood sweeping thru her house in| jorder that her child suffering from diphtheria might not be disturbed Becausé of the danger, she was or. dered to move. The city’s coal supply was run-| ning low today. This, together with | shortage of ice, gasoline and other commodities, will result in serious spread of disease, health officers feared, unless steam railroad traffic is rapidly restored, One hundred and twenty-five mill- tiamen and rangers patrol the flood- ed district—a veritable no-man’s land, strewn with mounds of debris, shattered houses, torn up railroad tracks, gutted buildings and ruined | merchandise, As soon as united efforts toward clearing a the wreckage 1s launched, another heavy downpour, | or a new flood alarm, drives the workers to cover, times Sunday it poured rain, | 's flood nearly reached the | borders of Friday's overflow ‘The oity, restless from its feverish sleep, looked with dread upon the| coming of night.

DARKNESS SHROUDS FLOODED STREETS Dewntown the tension was even greater, Armed sentries halted ev. ery pedestrian and motorist, and re- quired him to display a militia pass. Flashlights of the sentries, glim mering like glow worma, flashed in- termittently up and down the streets, The darkness was more intense over the flooded streets.

Local, state and federal financial co-operation to reconstruct the levee which gave way during Friday’s cloudburst was planned, They hope to build an tmpregnable wall against the fury of the moun- tain streams, PRESIDENT HARDING PROFFERS HIS AID Following a conference late Sunday between Governor O. H. Shoup of Colorado and leading citizens, R. H. Gast, prominent attorney of the city, was delegated to work out the plan of financial co-operation. Much is expected locally from President Harding's proffered federal assistance, Governor Show will present to the federal government the plan to aid Pueblo to save herself from similar disasters iu.the future. Governor Shoup, it is expected, will officially declare Puebio's plight is an emergency, entitling the city to a/ {portion of the state's emergency fund. Attorney Gast, in discussing Pu \eblo’s need of financial support in the levhe building project, said; “The Arkansas normally is more its narrow bed it spreAd Friday to “The flood washed out our best business district.
