WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 19.—
Justice Stafford, of the Supreme fourt

declined to Issue a decree enjoining
the government from paying over the
purchase price of the Alaska Northern

KANSAS CITY, June 19.—The
rains throughout the flooded valleys
of Kansas and Missouri show no signs
of stopping, and the conditions are
hourly getting more serious. The
death list has reached a total of 19. j
and It is feared that when the outlying i
counties are heard from this number j
will be Increased. All the rivers are
rising fast, and the possibility of i
severe floods has now almost changed j
to a certainty. The heavy rainfall '
and the continuity of the storm is
without precedent in the annals of the
middle west, and although sporadic j
reports of property damage are com '
ing In, the full extent of the damage to
the farmers will not be known until
the storm ceases and the telegraph
wires are In working order once
more.

NEW YORK, June 19.—Charles
flecker, condemned to the electric
chair for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the East Side gambler,
will appeal to the governor for clem
ency next week. His counsel said
today that the appeal for clemency
would contain statements which
should Induce the governor to tfet the
man free. The nature of these state
ments, the attorney said, could not be
disclosed until the governor had re
ceived the appeal, but he said that
he was convinced that they had dis
covered enough n^w evidence to show
that Becker was the victim of a
dreadful conspiracy, and that the gov
ernor would not be able to resist the
force of the facts which had been dis
covered. Governor Whitman will be
in a peculiar position when the appeal
for clemency Is received by him, as It
was Whitman, then district attorney
who was Becker’s nemesis, and re
lentlessly drew the net around him
that resulted In Becker's conviction.
