Indeed, the ravages of the flood with-
in the city seemed actually to in-
crease Sunday. The water was higher
in some of the streets, while the sit-
uation at the Inundated towns be-
tween Paris and St. Germain was dis-
tinctly graver.
A stream of water twelve feet deep
was rushing through Gennevlilleres
and Colombes making the work of res-
cue and succor more difficult than be-
fore. Several houses collapsed, and
many persons were taken off the
rooffs of their homes where they bad
been clinging for days.
Hundreds arc reported without food
or shelter and an army of troops and
civilians are working relentlessly It
the flooded territory, bringing succor
to the distressed and dis^ribut ng pro-
visions by boats to the thousands of
marooned victims, who refused to
quit their homes. Within tht- city it-
self are great throngs of sightseers.
Although there is n ointention on
the part of the government to declare
martial law the completely sub-
merged districts, such as Javei, are
in the hands of the military to pre-
vent pillaging. The soldiers have or-
ders to make short work of criminals
caught in the act of looting. Thus far
there has been no such cases within
the city, but the danger is great, as
the french usually keep their money
and valuables In their homes.
Outside of Paris, however, many de-
ploraole instances of looting have
been reported. A band of thieves has
been at work in the vicinity of Char-
enton, but the soldiers have been
shooting them at sight.
The papers recount many deeds of
heroism ou the part of priests at Al-
fm-tville, who continued the work of
icscue when the soldiers, jackles and
firemen, after several days without
rest, had become exhausted. Sisters
cf charity rowed to houses, giving as-
sistance in several cases of starvation.
Besides aid distributed directly by
the government and the municipality,
more than $250,000 from the fund
raised by the newspapers has been
handed over to the various relief so-
cieties and to the local authorities of
tho towns and villages near Paris.
The press refers gratefully to the
spontaneous help coming from abroad
and makes particular mention of the
evidence of sympathy from the U. S
Jerusalem and natural gas preserva-
tion questions were the features of
thill! legislature Monday.
Some doubt arising as to the exact
completeness of a New Jerusalem res-
olution. Senator Russell introduced
his original New Jerusalem bill to
make doubly sure of filling all legisla-
tive requirements in order to get his
question submitted to the people. Sen-
ator Davis discovered an alleged "jo-
ker" in the 1909 wis pipe line bill and
introduced to correct this.
House bills passed finally were;
Representative Harrison's bill requir-
ing that all convict made goods be so
labeled before offered for sale in Ok-
lahoma; Representative Boyle's bill,
requiring the weighing of coal, at
mines, when paid by the ton, before
it is screened or loaded on railroad
cars; and Representative Durant's
bill appropriating $1,140 for deficien-
cies in salaries of district judges.
The house defeated the Wortman
bill, in reality the Harrison substi-
tute, empowering commission govern-
ed cities to fix in their charters the
number of members and methods of
election of city school boards, by a
tie vote of 42 to 42.
Of the house bills introduced Mon-
day the most important is by Repre-
sentative Anthony, of Stephens coun-
ty, proposing to require foreign cor-
porations doing business in Oklahoma
to furnish practically any data that
a court may desire in cases which the
state is interested in. Tho hill Is as
follows: "It is hereby made the duty
of each and every corporation doing
business in thr- state of Oklahoma in
any action pending In any court of
record within the state, wherein the
state of Oklahoma or any of its offi-
cers iu their official capacity, are par-
ties, upon the application of said state
or said officers, and upon the order
of the presiding judge of said court,
for which authority is hereby invest-
ed upon reasonable notice, at a time
anil place within the state to be fixed
by said court, to cause to appear for
examination and inspection any of its
officers, agents, books and papers.
"The refusal of any such corpora-
tion to comply without just excuse to
the order above, shall constitute a
forfeiture of its right to do business
in the state of Oklahoma."
Special Session May Make Vaccina-
tion Ordinances Possible
Guthrie, Okla.—In a bill prepared
for consideration at the special t-es-
3lon of the legislature, the mayor and
council will be constituted the board
of health for municipalities, with pow-
er to make such orders deemed neces-
sary to stop or prevent contagious
diseases. The measure Introduced
by Senator Hoy Stafford, of Oklahoma
City, is drafted along lines suggested
by District Judge O. W. Clark, who
recently declared the Oklahoma City
council and board of health without
authorit to compel school children to
be vaccinated. The court ruled that
children not vaccinated could not be
barrel from attending classes.
The proposed bill Is an amendment
to the existing health laws of the
state and the new matter which will
be introduced follows:

Shawnee, Okla.—Nine indictments
I gainst Former District Judge W. N.
Maben, eight charging bribery and
one charging embezzlement, trere
quashed by District Judge Stilwell S.
Russell of Ardmore at Tecumseh
Tuesday, ou the ground that that sec-
tion of the Billups prohibition law
which confers certain powers upon
state enforcement attorneys coequal
with county attorneys is unconstitu-
tional. Attorney General West, Just
before leaving for Oklahoma City
Tuesday, announced that he will ap-
peal to the state criminal court of ap-
peals.
The presence of Fred S. Caldwell,
state enforcement attorney, in the
grant1 jury room during the delibera-
tions of that bodv while investigating
charges against Judge Maben war
the basis of the motion to quash,
which was filed by counsel for Ma-
ben. Tile motion held that at the time
the county attorney of Pottawatomie
county was qualified to conduct the
investigation, was in the county and
was ready and willing to act.
Four members of the grand jury
were called as witnesses Tuesday and
each testified to the fact that Cald-
well was In the jury room and exam-
ined witnesses. Caldwell was also a
witness.
The opinion by Judge Russell holds
that the constitution defines the pow-
ers and duties of the county attorney
and specifies the conditions under
which he may become disqualified to
act, and that the legislature has not
authority to enact a law that will limit
or abrogate those powers. The opin-
ion practically nullities the power
granted to state enforcement attor-
neys under the prohibition law.
•lud! e Russell also held that the
'aw giving power3 to the enforcement,
attorney was incomplete, in that it
did not create any sui'.i office, and
that if it aad created such cn nfft-e
It would have been unconstitutional.
He talked at some length on the sanc-
tity of th3 juiy room an 1 the stat-
ute's demand for 3ecrct proceedings.
Arguments for and against the mo-
tion to quash wen continued until tho
