TO DENVER BY Fifteen Thousand Workers Are Busy Clearing Up Debris and Rebuilding Homes; Railroads Bunging Laboiers DENVER, July 15. Several hundred are homeless, a number of deaths are rciiortcd and a million and a half loss is the result of a cloudburst last night, which poured a wall of water into the shallow bed of Cher ry Cretek. The city auditorium is the refuge camp and 5imi men, women and children are gathered there, including 25 babies.

Warnings of the flood were telephoned from place to place along the path, otherwise there would have been great loss of life.

Hn army of individuals and city employees are clearing away the wreckage of buildings and bridges, rescuers are searching the banks of Cherry Creek for possible victims. Denver is rapidly assuming normal conditions. Throughout the day all railroads entering Denver have been rushing additional labor from this state and Kansa.

Hundreds or the unemployed in Denver have been given work on private enterprises which were demolished or badly damaged. The reported break in the Castle-wood dam. emanating from some unknown source about noon today, caused consternation in the city and persons along the lowlands were warned. Scores of families moved their effects before authentic information was obtained that there was no danger of the dam breaking. Ail danger of further floods is believed to have past and the water in the creek is rapidly receding.

The creek, which ordinarily is ouly three feet wide, is still running almost bank full but further danger is not feared.

The house committe today formally presented the article of impeachment against Judge Arrhbald to the Wants Only Roosevelt Electors on Tickets in States Where He Carried Primary Elections This Spring OYSTER BAY, N. July 13. The formation of a disCinct independent party and not the capture of the Republican party is the course Roosevelt laid out for himself tonight. He took issue flatly with his supporters, who have advanced the proposal for effecting an agreement with the Republican organization in some states through which, under certain conditions, the strength of tho Roosevelt following might be thrown behind Taft.

The colonel will have none of it. "1 Khali not acquiesce No compromise is to be the battle cry," said Roosevelt, and he dictated this state ment of his position: "1 see that in Pennsylvania and Maryland the proposal has been made that identical Rootevclt and Taft electors run and the electors who are chosen cast their votes for whichever. Taft. or myself, gets the most votes. I trust no such plan will be adopted.

I claim in every -primary state, where the primaries were carried for me and where the electors have been nominated, that as a matter of highest, obligation men are bound to vote for me, for 1 am the noniiuec by an overwhelming majority of the rank and file of the Re publican party. aft nomination represents nothing but the success- ful dishonesty of the Barnes-Penrose-Guggenheim machine and is not binding upon any honest Republican." Roosevelt then goes on to say, making his appeal to all Progressives, no matter what their past affiliations may have been, who generally believe in Progressive principles, "Who be lieve as 1 do, that both old party organizations are completely under the domination of bosses and special prlv ileges, that both the Chi' ago and Hal-timore platforms are fundamentally unprogressive and are reactionary platforms, showing i Ms hopeless to expect from either of the old parties under the present conditions, any real far reaching progressive TAFT'S NOTIFICATIO WASHINGTON.
