PATERSON, Nd, IS FLOODED
PARTS OF CITY INUNDATED
Hundreds of Families Are Homeless
- Surrounding Country Under
Water-Prepnred for the Worst
Second Calamity to the City In
MOnth-TwO Fires.

Paterson, N. j., March 4.-This city,
so recently swept by fire, is now over
whelmed with flood. Three weeks ago
the greater part of it's business section
was burned out and today the quarters
occupied by poorer classes are inun-
dated. Hundreds of families are home
less and the country for miles around
the city is under water. So far but
one death has been reported.
The great peril now is that the
Spruce street raceway which supplies
water power for all mills along the
water front may overflow. This would
cause great loss to the manufacturing
districts. Expert engineers have
placed dynamite below the Spruce
street bridge, and if necessary it will
be touched off.
This will open a new channel for
the volume of water held there. and,
diverting it, save good deal of prop
erty.
The fire of three weeks ago, while
causing damage to property to the
amount Of nearly ten millions, did not
create such suffering and widespread
| desolation as the flood of today.
The district for mile along the
river front from Spruce street hill to
Straight street and two blocks north
and five south of the river, nearly a
mile in width. is covered with water,
nd in, TO fha or
of the dwellings. In this district are
situated the Rogers Locomotive works
and several silk mills and dye works.
Nearby hive fully 600 families who
have been driven from their tene
ments. Several hundred of these PEG
pie were taken from their houses in
boats and barges amid scenes of much
excitement.
Hundreds of Homeless.
More than hundred homeless fam
| lilies are sheltered in the fifth regi.
nent armory. Citizens from all parts
Of the city have poured in loads OF
employees of every department worked
| like beavers in their efforts to relieve
| the distressed. There was lack of
boats to cope with the emergency and
a wagon load was sent over from
Newark in good time to give excel
lent service.
In the work of rescue Henry Rich
ards, carpenter, lost his life. After
making several trips, on each of which
he brought three or four persons, his
boat was upset and he was swept
,way in the waters which were rush
ing with the force of mill race.
Two alarms of fire were turned in
Turing the afternoon and. it looked as
If the elements were combining to
destroy the city.
The firemen who were helping to re
move the people from the district

fight the flames. Neither loss was

ng the danger was great.
On Hamilton avenue, near the river
.wo new buildings were undermined
by the flood, collapsed and were swept
away. The Arch street bridge col
| lapsed in the afternoon and all the
other bridges are completely sub.
merged. The boiler and engine rooms
of several of the big mills are 10 feet
under water.

WANTS GREAT
NAVAL ADDITION

Washington, April 29.-The naval
program for 1908, as presented in the
naval appropriation bill and accom-
Danying report filed yesterday by
Chairman Foss of the house commit
tee, is one Of our naval prowess as is
generally held that Mr.. Foss points
out that comparatively few of our
ships have any real fighting value.
He accompanies this with a statement
of the enormous naval armament and
programs OF other countries, particu-
laIIy Germany.
It is shown by the report that the
total number of vessels of our navy
built and building is 1873 and the total
cost will be 1926, 082 ,209
The report adds.
While we have built and are build
ing, all told, 1873 ships, yet compare
lively few of them have any real fight
ing value. Our naval prowess lies
almost entirely in our eighteen battle
ships, eight arm0Ted cruisers and
twenty-One protected cruisers. The
rest of our ships would cut but little
figure in actual war. Ships of the
battle line practically alone, deter
mine the naval strength of a nation -
Referring to the foreign naval pro
gram, the report says:
"Of all the countries, Germany has
been building during the past four
years faster than any of the Others.
Her ship building program started in
1898 and will be completed in 1916 as
first planned. This program will give
her in all thtrty-eight battleships.
fourteen large cruisers, thirty-eight
smaller cruisers and ninety-six torpe-
do boats. After the completion OF
this program the plan cOntemplates
new constructions to replace ships
which. through still serviceable. may
have reached the prescribed limit.
The complete cost of the two first
class battleships, two first-class ar
mored cruisers, and two gunboats,
with total tonnage of $4,000 tons, will
approximate $29 ,500,O00 These bat
tleships and cruisers will be larger
than any heretofore authorized by
congress, and the plans recommended
by the board of construction have al.
ready excited the favorable comment
of the naval authorities abroad The
committee is of the opinion that in
recommending the above naval pro
gram it is making a substantial and
! healthy increase of our navy, and one
which will meet everywhere with
popular favor
! Other interesting features Of the
bill are provisions for board OF
naval officers to recommend a site fol
naval training station at some point
! on the great lakes; an increase Of the
enlisted force of the navy by 5000
men.
