cooled this morning, but he was just as
emphatic in expressing his opinion Of
Mr.. Jacobson's sincerity and accuracy
That done, he adopted mild and judicial
tone and continued:
. II want it understood that anything I
say about Mr.. Jacobson is not against
his candidacy for state auditor. shall
not turn over by hand for or against him.
In many respects he would make first
class auditor. In others-but won't say
anything more.
''As far as am concerned, 1 say again
that I am not candidate for auditor,

P1TTsBURGs wETTING
Western Part of Pennsylvania in the
Grip of the Flood .-.

, Pittsburg, March 1.-Western Pennsyl-
vania is in the grip Of the worst flood
since the record breaker of 1884 At 8
o'clock this morning measurements
showed thirty feet of water and 1t was
still rising at the rate CT from five to six
inches an hour. Street car traffic be-
tween Pittsburg and Allegheny has been
entirely abandoned. Many mills have
been forced to close down and families
have been compelled to move from their
homes. EeI....
The water rose so rapidly that in the
American Steel and Wire plant, South
Side, the workmen had to leave their
street clothes in the lockers and get out
of the mill In their working clothes. The
water covers the tracks along the Mo-
nongahela and Ohio rivers. Predictions
are made tlat the water will reach thirty
five feet-two feet above the 1884 record
unless there is sudden change in the
weather.
