A BROKEN DAM

Lives Lost e.
MoRRIsTowN, N. j., Feb. 6.-The dam at
Pocahontas lake broke tonight, and all the
lower part of this city was inundated. So
far as is known no lives have been lost.
although twenty-five persons are missing.
Their disappearance is creating intense ex-
citement.
All the day melting snow had swollen the
streams which emptied into the lake. It
was covered with eight inches of Ice, and
the whole was held in check by the frailest
and flimsiest of wooden dams. The water
rose to the top. Meanwhile the water,
rushing through the flume and from all the
sewers, had filled the Whippany river,
which flows through Morristown, to the
brim, and the wafer ran over.
Crowds of people flocked down to view
the spreading waters. Suddenly, with a
great crash. a section of the dam eighteen
feet wide went down. A wall of water six
feet high swept into the valley, quickly fol.
lowed by thousands of tons of ice. In ten
minutes it rose ten feet in the streams.
The embankment of the Delaware Lack
awanna railroad runs through the town.
The Whppany river flows under this EN-.
bankment through this cUlvert.
The immense volume of water rushed
against the embankment, and being unable
to escape, backed up through the town,
flooding all the first floors. People fled in
terror to the second stories. Many heroic
rescues were recorded but no lives are re-
ported lost, but twenty-five are missing.

TRACK AND TRAFFIC NOTES
Secretary Smith Advocates Foreclosure
of Government Mortgages
of Railroads, but Would Foreciose and
Sell the Property

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Secretary Hoke
Smith, in conference with the house Pa
cfc railroads committee today, advocated
foreclosure of the government mortgage on
the Pacific railroads and resale of the
roads.
He declared there would be no difficulty
in doing this without government owner
ship Of the roads, to which he was opposed
absolutely.
He recommended congress to pass an
act forfeting lands granted TO the COM
panies, exemption being made IN favor of
bonafide purchasers from the railroads.
If congress did not leaislate he would
revoke his suspension orders and patent
the laods to the roads.
Concerning the granted lands of the
Unicn and Central Pacific companies, the
secretary recommended that instead of
proceeding 10 patent these lands to the
roads, congress pass an act of forfeiture
which would exempt bonafide purchasers
of lands from the railroad companies and
provide for patenting their lands to bona
purchasers.
The general subject of the governments
relations to the roads being taken up, Sec.
retary Smith was asked by Mr.. Boatner
whether it was possible to have foreclos-
ure of the roads carried out by government
ownership.
"Yes, SIR answered the secretary.
"There would be no difficulty. We should
approach this matter solely as representa-
,ives of the governments interests. Other
paciiey can be trusted to represent them.
selves"
While he was utterly opposed to govern.
ment ownership. Secretary Smith said the
threat OF eov erument ownership should not
prevent the government from foreclosing
and making a resale. As for the lease of
the control 10 the Southern Pacific, fore
closure wo1ld wipe that out. as that con-
tract had been made subject to the govern.
ments len.
Secretary Smith said any purchaser of
the roads could pay fair rate of interest
on bonds. pay fair sum every year for the
redemption of bonds, and still have a hand
scme profit If any company stood ready
to purchase the roads of the government,
giving frat mortgage bonds at 3 per cent
and making small yearly payment on
the principal, the offer should be accepted

THE TREASURY CONDITION
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The treasury to-
day lost 81 ,O73,SOo in gold coin and $ lO,-
400 in bars, leaving the true amount Of
the reserve $45, ,29S,779. Notwithstanding
the success of the new loan, fears are en-
tertained that considerable share Of the
gold offered IN payment will have been
withdrawn from the treasury for that pur-
pose. In anticipation OF the loan the gold
withdrew from the treasury dur
9th to February 5th amounted
to $3.50, ,545, which, added to today % with
drawals makes an aggregate of about $S,-
100000. The magnitude of the subscrip-
tions to the loan, which amounted to over
$55S, 100000, calls attention to the. fact
that the total amount of gold coin and gold
certificates in circulation in the United
States is less than $55O,OOO 900, and the
natural inference is that a great number of
bidders must have depended upon
getting their supply from the
treasury or outside sources. What
will be the result on the
reserve is matter of grave concern, and
while it is expected that it will be aug
Inented by at least Sill 200, 900, as the
result of the preseat sale, it is not SO ap-
parent that on the date the last installment
becomes due the reserve will not have been
reduced TO point not greatly in excess of
the 100000, 900 requirement..

PEARL DRYAN'S MURDERER
Continued from First Pas o.

confession appeared in the evening papers
and was shown to WalIing. He prepared
a statement which is given out at mid
night. i'll which lie said that Scott jackson
had told him about his trouble with Pearl
Bryan, and in which he said Wood was
also interested.
Jackson never referred to anything ex-
cept the proposed abortion until Pearl
Bryan came to this city, January 29th.
Then he talked about the serious condi.
tion, and consulted druggists and fellow
studen about the best drugs with which
to kill. jackson got drunk night or two
after Pearl came here and told his ROOM
mate that he proposed to get away with
her. He had several plans which he out
lined. One was to take her TO room and
kill her with drugs and leave her as if she
had killed herself. Another plan was to
kill her with drug, cut up the body and
drop 1t in the vaults. unless he got good
opportunity to cremate it in the furnace in
the dental college. His third plan was
with acids, which Walling explained at
length.
Walling denied that he was with jackson
and Pearl Bryan in the cab last Friday
night before the murder was committed. A
colored porter and bar keeper who saw
the hack drive away from their saloon tes-
titled that Walling got into the hack with
them. Walling insisted that the last time
but that he did see jackson on Thursday
and Friday nights and that Jackson went
to their room and put on part of Walling's
Clothes in order to throw suspicion and
blame from himself OH his room mate. In
Jackson's statement today he accounted
for the blood on his clothes by saying that
Wailing had gone TO their room and put
on his clothes before going out to commit
the murder.
Walling says jackson told him on Thurs
day night he intended to drive over to Fort
and that he did so on Friday night.
During the time that Walling made his
confession Scott Jackson was present and
heard it all and denied everything as his
roommate proceeded with the story. They
called each other liars and were with diff.
Guilty prevented from creating a disturb
ance.
Meantime large crowd surrounded the
place and both men expressed apprehension
for their safety. They are not anxious TO
to be taken to Newport, Ky., for trial, but
as soon as the preliminary examination is
cleared up, requisition papers will be is-
sued and the prisoners will be turned over
to Sheriff Plummer of Newport, Ky. The
feeling, however, is as strong on this side
of the river as il is on the Kentucky side
against the men who are believed to be
guilty of the murder.
The search for the head of the murdered
woman still goes on, but 1t is believed that
Jackson and WallinR are the only ones
who know where it can be found and some
are of the opinion that jackson is the only
one who can solve this part of the mys-
terry.

recognizance and went to the hotel with

account of how that prominent charm of
hers was acquired. "very few persons

could be called such in my possession. The
lack of it made me seem grim and too far
from merry to be a successful companion.
So | took lessons of an actor, and learned
the mechanism of forced laughter. This
practiced and improved by myself, till
had the art to perfection, and it became
second nature. 1t cost me 500 to buy my

thousands. You can't guess what boon
