Justice MARITIME. in Part l. OF the
Court OF General Sessions, this after
noon dismissed the indictment charging
Mrs. Lena Cohen with keeping a disor-
derly house at 37s East Houston street,
and thereby formed a precedent which
will very materially assist the Lexow
Committee in its effort to ferret out
crime In this city.
Mrs. Cohen is the woman tesetifed
before the Lexow Committee yester-
day and gave such damaging testimony,
duplicating Capt Siebert and Ward De-
tectives Brennan and Farrell, of the
Union Market police station.

ceeding, was the reward which had
come to the prisoner through her val

put the State under very great obliga-

The motion to dismiss was made by
LAWYER Jerome junior counsel to the

TERRIBLE WORK BY FLOODS.
Miles and Miles OF the Canadian
Pacific Road Washed Out.

(By Associated Press.)
VANCOUVER. b. c., June 7-All the
Canadian Pacific passengers who left for
the East Sunday or have left since then,
returned to this city last night. having
found 1t impossible to get through the
mountains There are half dozen
breaks of a serious nature along the
line. and the track cannot probably be
opened for week.
A more serious interruption than pre-
viously reported is due to cloudburst
in the vicinity OF Lytton. The burst
swept the railroad for nine miles. from
the sawmill fats to Lytton. where the
approaches to the Government Suspen-
sion Bridge, on the old Cariboo road,
were carried away. The waters also
swept away the iron bridge at Ashcroft
and the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge
near Spencer Station. The water tore
down the mountain gorge with incredi-
BILE velocity. and sent the river leaping
over its banks In boiling and seething

The police Of the East Fifty-first

prepared to assist in the rescue Of one
or more prisoners from Blackwell q

There is little probability that the
