Show LEGISLATURE WILL BE CALLED TO BELIEVE THE SUFFERING IN K1ANSAS. TOPEKA. Kan., June 9. It Is regarded as practically certain that there will be a special session of the Kansas Legislature In two weeks to relieve some of the suffering suf-fering caused by the flood of last week. If a special session is called it will be called for the purpose of building1 bridges washed away by the flood. Kansas City Is especially interested in the session, because be-cause there were thirteen Kansas river bridges washed out in that city. Eight bridges were washed out In Shawnee county coun-ty besides the street railway bridges. The Governor is said to be opposed to calling a special session for the purpose of making a general flood relief appropriation, appro-priation, for the reason that such action woul effectually prevent further contributions contribu-tions toward the relief of the sufferers. It has been suggested that the session should provide seed for the farmers in the Kaw valley. These farmers, if given potatoes Immediately can raise a good crop yet this year. |
