MIGHTY RIVER RAN DRY
THERE WAS NO WATER COMING
OVER DAMS YESTERDAY
MORNING
STREET CAR LINES TIED UP
Scarcity of Water was Caused by
the Shutting Down of the
Mills - minneapolis
News.

By the closing down Of all the flour
mills yesterday morning, which is some
thing unusual, the flow of the Missi=-
sippi- river was checked by the dam above
the falls, and the result was that the
Twin City, Rapid Transit company for
several hours yesterday lacked lower
with which to- properly operate cars
throughout its entire system The street
railway company has it's power house
and dam below the. falls, and for power
relies upon the water that escapes
through, the ,tail-races of the mills or
makes its way over the upper dam.
If but one Or'two mills are running
enough water goes through the canal to
furnish power, but when this source is
checked The power must come from the
water that comes over the dam Dur
ing the past week fourteen of the twenty
two mills were running, including the
Pillshury A, which draws a vast amount
of water. At the present time the stage
Of water in the river is very low, and a.
the mills had been drawing from it, the
water at the upper dam was far below
the crest.
Over half of the mills continued run
ming Saturday night, and the supply was
very low when they Shut down at 7:3)
o clock yesterday morning. 1t was less
than five minutes later that the wheels
at the power house below the falls ceased
running, for the river between the lower
dam and the falls was practically dry.
The water coming down the river was
checked by the dam, nearly four hours
elapsed before it rose to the crest, flowed
over and provided power for the turbines
below.
The street railway officials had been
warned that, there would probably be an
insuf1iciency Of power, and during the
night the steam engines were started,
with the hope that enough power might
be furnished from them to operate the
system when the lower power house stop
ped operations. But the call for power
exceeded the capacity of the engines, and
an interruption in the service occurred.
The engines were able 70 furnish enough
power for all but the lines running on
Hennepin avenue, and north of it, on the
west side of the river. The system was
affected from 1880 to 1920 o'clock in the
morning, and for a portion of this time
not a wheel turned on the Hennep.n
avenue, north Washington, Sixth avenue
north. KeffWood and Rryn Mawr lines.

ductors, and neither side will allow any
thing to interfere with its continuance"
Mr.. Clark thanked the city officials
and trade organizations for the express
sions of good will, and said the conduct
ors would try to merit 1t by sending to
st. Paul the largest representation in
their history.
Other speakers who extended welcomes
in behalf of the organizations they repre-
scented were B. H. Beardsley, of the
Chamber of Commerce; H. p. Hall, of the
Jobbers' union, and c. j. Whelams, of the
Northwest Manufacturers union. Mr..
Hall, who was the recognized wit in
this bunch of speakers, said the simple
announcement that the Jobbers' union
was going to make an effort to welcome
the conductors next May should be suffi-
cient TO secure the success of the event.
OF those who added their voice in
speaking good word for the conductors,
the efforts of Mr.. G. B. Finch, Judge
j. A. Chandler, of the Milwaukee; Thorn
as Lynch, Of the Great Northern and
j. A. O'Brien, of the Omaha line, were
among the many that were appreciated.
Mr.. Lynch, as member of the passenger
association, said that his connection with
the railroad business gave him ample
opportunity to recognize the loyalty and
zeal of the conductor. He was thrown
in daily contact with them, and while
possibly not in as large numbers as on
the present occasion, yet he always FOUND
the sample packages good, and could
vouch for the balance Of the shipment

EVILS OF INITIATION FELT,
Report of the Financial Condition
Of Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 16-Minister Ii.
montour's report of. the financial con-
d1tIon of the country, made to congress
on the presentation of the annual budget
Is notable document. He estimates for
the ensuing year a revenue of amount
ing to S6l.694,O00, and expenditures Of
$6l ,677,99 and shows why he does not an.
ticipate a large surplus for the coming
year He takes up the present financial
situation which is characterized by none,
tary strfngency, and remarks:
1t is impossible to disregard certain
economical phenomena and certain svYnp-
toms of the present business situation
and reveal a condition of uneasiness
caused by the partial paralyzation Of
transactions and which to continue Tor a
long time would probably occasion a
formal crisis III the commerce and in
duStry of a large portion of the republic"
The financial minister estimates that in
addition to $50, coo in cash deposited in
banks that the holdings of the general
public in cash does not amount TO mora
than $4,000, 900, so that the total Circula-
ton of silver money may be estimated in
the neighborhoOd of 500, coo CCO
Mr.. 1imOntour continued: 1T is there
fore not strange when suddenly the cOun-
try's supply of cash was curtailed from
10 to u per cent, by the expectation OF
silver dollars, business should have ex-
pef1enced some degree of paFalyZat ton
There has been an unusual demand for
Mexican dollars and this demand has
sensibly diminished the supply of metallic
cash here"
The. report shows that the formation of
new stock companies for manufacturing
and other purposes was a revelation to
many business men of prodigious efficacy

ceptible and that a certain amount of

RAIDED RABBI HIRsGH's HOME.
Eminent ChicRgOan Is Visited by
Two Bold burglars.

CHICAGO. Dee. 16.-(Special)-- 1.-Two
men drove in buggy to the residence
of Rev. DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, 3613 Grand
boulevard. last evening, ard while one
held the horse the other looted the house.
Then he jumped from front window
under fusillade of pistol shots and,
Ieaping into the buggy, was driven rapid
ly away by his companion.
The report of the reyolvers and the
noise Of the rapidly driven vehicle ere
ated mach exciten, ent in the vicinity and
several calls for the police We're sent in
from as many different sources. A patrol
wagon with ten officers from the Stanton
avenue police station followed the buggy
on Thirty-seventh street. to Calumet ave-
nue. and thence on the avenue and Th;r-
ty-second street to the railroad tracks
where the trail was lost and the men
escaped, carrying with them about $50
of the doctors property.
DR. Hirsch ard his family were at din
ner when the marauder entered.
A telephone call took the pastors
daughter from the dining table to The
second floor Of the house, and she was
surprised to find the door of her room
locked as she passed it and to hear Il
noise in her room. Immediately sha
heard a front window opened and body
drop to the roof of a porch below In
an instant a number of pistol shots rang
ou2, followed by the hoot beats of q.
rapidly retreatiug horse
This was The first the members of the
family knew that they had been made
the victims of thieves. Mrs. John TAFT,
a neighbor. had seen the buggy stop in
front of the house and the man enter the
court, where he was lost to view in the
shadow She called her son John and
together they watched developments.
Nothing suspicious occurred until front
window of the Hirsch home was thrown
open and man leaped to the porch roof
and slid to the ground. Young TAFT
opened fire on the tfief and the fire was
returned as the man ran for the buggy
None of the bullets took effect
y short while before the entry of the
Hirsch home two men drove in a buggy
to the residence of SfmueI Stern, 3G44
Grand boulevard, and asked to be direct
ed to the Hirsch home 1t is thought
these men were the burglars
The burglar took considerable jewelry,
among which were two watches, valued
at about $500 each: two chains, valued at
about S25 each; an onyx pin, valued at
about SIS, and numerous other articles
of intrinsic and personal value.

HURT IN SALOON BRANL
JOHN MARTIN SUSTAINS A BAD
FRACTURE OF LEFT
LEG
FOUGHT WITH PROPRIETOR
Fight Seems to Have Started After
Martin Was Hit With a
Club He Was
Drinking.

John Martin, who works on the farm
of j. G. Shea, about two miles outside
the city limits, thought he could enjoy
himself more by visiting few saloons
than by going to church yesterday morn
ing. He may not think so now, for he
is lying in the city hospital suffering
from fractured leg, sustained during a
saloon braWl.
According to information given at the
Albion stables last night, it appears that
Martin, who was drinking quite heavily,
became involved in an alteration with
the proprietor of a saloon at Eighth and
Sibley streets.
The Boniface, in order to emphasize the
force of his arguments, is said to have
employed club, which he applied to the
head of the other disputant This treat
ment did not prove as convincing as was
expected, and a lively mix-up followed
When the row was over it was found
that Martins left leg was fractured just
above the ankle. and he was removed to
the hospital in an ambulance.
On arrival there he was still consid-
erably the worse for liquor. His fracture
was bad one, and some time was con-
Sumed in reducing it.
The injured man is thirty-six years Of
age, and is single.

6GHANGGL N CITY BOARDS
TERMS OF WATER AND FIRE COM
MEsSTONERS ARE EXPIRING
THIS MONTH "a
COOKS HEAD IS IN DANGER
Chief OF the Fire Department
Views With Dismay Prospec-
tive Changes on That
BOARD.

Considerable conjecture is on as to
whom Mayor Smith will name to fill the
vacancies in the water board and in the
fire commissioners, which take place with
the closing of the present year.
On the water board there will be two
vacancies and in the board of fire COM
missiOnerS three vacancies, all of which,
according to the charter, must be filed
on or before Dec. 81.
On the water board R. B. G.. Ben1ent
and President i. H. Wolterstorf are the
ones whose terms expire, and the names
most frequently heard as their successors
are Thomas Grace and George w. Free
man. The latter will likely be named
for the four-year term and the former
for the fiVe-year term.
Maj, -Bement has been member OF the
water board for nearly ten years, receiv-
ing his appointment at the hands of
Mayor Smith. Friends want him retain
ed but it is hardly possible that they
will succeed.
OF the board of fire commissioners
Messrs. Vanish, Walther and Sharood
will have to retire, and this fact is not
without considerable annoyance to Chief
Cook, who fears, upon their going, the
removal of his own official head. His late
miX-up with PatrOlman Hennessy has
removed any civil service talk in his IA
vor, and he can only view the future
with fear and alarm. Some of his aids
will also likely feel the AK. as the new
appointees will make the board Demo-
cratic.
Of those mentioned for the vacancies,
Albert Schweitzer. T. J. Clarkin and Reu-
ben Warner Jr. seem to lead in the race
A number also aspire for the position
of secretary to the board, now held by
Capt. J. A. Owens. Those mentioned are
George Mitsch, R. o. Strong and William
OGOrman.
County Commissioner E. B. Lott, who
has received the Endorsement of the vari-
Gus local unions for the position of
state labor commissioner. has, in the
opinion of his friends, a good chance of
receiving the appointment.
