FLOODS CAUSE DEATH
 OF FOUR PERSONS AND BIG LOSS OF PROPERTY

Atlanta, December 30. = The heavy floods of the past two days in Alabama, Georgia and East Tennessee and portions of North Carolina, caused the death of four persons as far as known and inflict- ed serious damage to all kinds of proper ty. The rains have been followed by clearing and much colder weather, &C., companied by high winds
 Three people were drowned at West Point Ga, while attempting to cross the turbulent Chattahoochee. The situation at West Point Is reported serious. Thous- ands of dollars worth of property has been destroyed and there ia much suf- fering. All day Sunday the merchants worked to save their stocks and removed them from their flooded stores to places of safety. At o'clock this morning the water in the streets of West Point was from one to five feet deep. The removals of goods were first made in buggies and other vehicles but as the water rose boats were used and rafts were constructed as the means of conveyance. Many of the people spent the night in historic Fort Tyler.
 Two bridges on a creek about mile above West Point were washed away. The Atlanta and West Point bridge is still standing and Is believed to be safe. The City Council held speciR meeting and A~e-~~A~-~-e-. %-o-~-s-~>~~~ee~~>- lower part of the city is cut off.

Guthrie. O. T., December 30.-General Frank Armstrong as agent of the war department is at Fort Sill, Oklahoma making arrangements for the release of Chief Geronimo and the Twenty-ninth Arizona Apache Indians who are held by the government as prisoners of war. They were captured by General Lawton twelve years ago after a three thousand mile campaign. They will be allotted land by the government.
 The Ottawa Indians have prepared a petition to congress asking that all re- strictions be removed this winter from in- herited nonresident and surplus lands and from all but forty acres of each all lotment. They desire to sell the above lands to white settlers.
 Creeks Want New Agreement.
 Washington, December 30.-The Creek Indian nation of Indian Territory has submitted to the interior department a re- Creeks to come here with a new agree ment which the Creeks have drafted looking to allotments of lands and other matters. The agreement is designed to take the place of the one executed with the Dawes commission, but which after Creeks want to negotiate the new agree ment directly instead of through the Dawes commission.

V
 Montgomery December 50-(Special)- Two dams across the Tallapoosa river at Tallassee were swept away by the rag ing waters last night. entailing a loss of probably $10000O.
 These dams were constructed to furn- ish power for the large cotton mills at Tallassee and the Montgomery Light and Power Company. The later named is about three miles above Tallassee, and was completed less than four weeks ago.
 The lower dam, or the one furnishing power for the cotton mills, is the prop erty of the Tallassee Manufacturing Com pany owned by the Mount Vernon Wood bury Cotton Company This dam is brok- en in two places It is about 800 feet in length and twelve feet high above water level. It was constructed on a natural fall to furnish power for the operation of one of the largest cotton mills in the South.
 River Reaches Highest Point
 The excessive rains which fell during Saturday caused the Talapoosa river to rise rapidly, and by last night the river had reached the highest stage in its his- tory. The first break occurred in the lower dam, about two hundred feet of the stone and cement wall being swept away by the rushing torrents few hours later the upper dam, recently com pleted gave away.
 A space covering 1855 feet In the center of this granite wall was forced out by the waters.
 This dam is the property of the Mont gomery Light and Power Company. and was completed during the present month.
 Working on It for Years
 It's building has been in progress for more than, two years, and the part washed away was the last section put in. The dam is 800 feet long and 42 feet high above water level. It is owned by the Emerson McMillan Company of Baltimore but as it had not been accepted from the contractors they will probably have to stand the loss, which will amount to probably $75OO0.
 The rush of the water from this dam caused a second break in the one below on the east side of about 50 feet The damage to the lower dam will probably reach s25,000.
 The completion of the upper dam was taken as great boom for Montgomery. It was constructed to furnish this city with a 45, 900 horse power electric plant, and the current from the new plant would have been turned on January l. It will probably require twelve months to replace this damage.

VAN SAINTS PLAN
 TO BE ENDORSED
GOVERNORS AND ATTORNEYS GENERAL MEET IN HELENA AND ARE FORMING FIGHT ON THE BIG RAILROADS

Helena, Mont, December 30.-No &C., ton was taken today at the meeting of the governors and attorney general of the Northwestern states called to consider plans for opposing the proposed consol- idation of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington railroad sys- tems.
 From the discussion, however, 1t Is consid cred probable that the plan of Gov ernor Van Sant of Minnesota will be en- dorsed by the executive of other states and that the fight against the railroad consolidation will be carried to a finish What this plan is Governor Van Sant re- fused to state until the meeting tomor- row morning shall take action. The meet ings were held in Governor Tooles prf- vate office and behind closed doors. There were present besides Governor Toole and Attorney General Donovan of Montana. Governor Van Sant and Attorney General Douglas of Minnesota Governor Herrid and Attorney General Pyle of South Da- kota, Governor Hunt and Attorney Gen eral Martin of Idaho and Attorney Gen eral Stratton of Washingto on. Governor Mcbride of that state not being able to be present on account of the death of Governor Rogers.
 Governor Van Sant was made chair man. He addressed the conference going over the recent events, beginning with the forming of the Northern Securities Company and declared that consolidation of the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific roads would be an open violation of the law and the desired public policy of Minnesota. He had been informed that the other states represented have consti- tutional or statute laws similar in effect to those of Minnesota and his idea was that such methods of procedure should be adopted as would be uniform.
 Governor White Did Not Attend.
 Bismarck, N. D., December 30.-Gov- ernor White of North Dakota did not attend the conference of Governors at Helena for the reason, he says, that in- stead of being a conference to discuss the matter of the railroad merger, with a view to ascertaining the facts in the case, and whether any state laws are being violated, 1t has come to be herald ed abroad as a meeting in open hostility to railroad interests and with adjuncts of extra sessions and other things before the matter has been discussed at all. It Is stated that thus far the people of North Dakota have not been injured by the so-called merger and that 1t Is best to await developments
