SOCIALIST CONGRESS
In SESSION IN MUNICH
Bavarian Authorities Cour-
teous Toward Members.
Germans and Others Show Themselves
Opposed to Polish
Propaganda.

MUNICH, Sept. 1.-two hundred an,
five delegates. representing $50 man
dates from German social democratic or
ganizations, are attending the socialis
congress which opened here yesterday
Thirty-seven of the delegates are mem
bers of the Reichstag.
Delegates from Austria. Belgium
Italy, and England are also present. The
latter said that the English proletaria,
fully sympathized with the brave Beers
They also said that England's policy a,
present was reactionary from excesses
of imperialism.
The discussions are conducted in high
parliamentary style. The finances
showed a deficiency OF 10000 marks for
balanced by large contributions from
members, and legacy of $1,000 marks.
All the speakers thus far have been
str!kingly against the Poles.
Too Jingoistic.
The president of the congress de-
clared that an Independent Polish social
democratic organization would not be
allowed In Germany. Inc Germans, he
added. were free from j'ngoism. but the
Pole pretended overmuch. He further
said the situation in Austria was not de-
sirable for Germany. The Germans must
be recognized as the elder brother.
The Bavarian authorities are treating
the members of the congress with cour-
tesy. They have reserved a second class
waiting room for the delegates. and have
it to be decorated with red and
have inscriptions displayed.

ABOUT EYES.
Glasses Are Not Always Necessary.

| Parents are often advised to get glasses
for their children by the school authori-
ties who attribute the weak, watery con-
dition Of the eyes of the child to some
defect in the vision. and do not realize
that the trouble may arise from the COM
mon practice of coffee drinking.
A case in point, Mrs. C. E. Knapp, of
Elyria. o., says. "Six months ago we
were family of invalids; my husband,
myself and two children were all afflicted
with stomach trouble. l would get so
faint before 1t was time for regular
meals. and after eating had pain and dis
tress in the stomach, which felt as
though there was hard lump in there.
felt drowsy and stupid most of the time.
II was out in the wind my eyes would
water SO 1t hindered me from seeing.
My son was the worst afflicted. His
eyes blurred so they hindered his prog
ress In school and we thought 1t would
be necessary to have them treated. His
teacher finally had him bring his reader
home with word that l have him read an
hour each day out of school. He could
not read paragraph without stopping
to wipe his eyes or close them. We were
but never thought that was the cause of
our trouble until read an article on the
subject in the Cleveland paper.
We were discussing it at table one day
and my daughter said. i know it is cof-
fee that hurts me for when l do not
drink 1t do not have that lump in my
stomach My boy said. "A lump is moth
ing, every time drink coffee my fingers
prickle just as though they were asleep
was both scared and astonished at
such information, and told them | had
made the last cup of coffee | ever would
for home use. l got package OF Postum
Food Coffee and tried it for our next
meal and we soon learned to like 1t and
think 1t better than coffee.
We have none of us been troubled
with our stomachs since we commenced
to use 1t. Our eyes do not water any
more when In the wind, our cheeks and
lips are red instead Of blue or purple
when we are out in the cold; the drOwsy
feeling has left and the prickly feeling
has entirely left my son. We use it twice
a day and give 1t freely to my 20 months
old babe. We find 1t better and cheaper
than coffee. We cannot speak too highly
of its merits for we know we owe tn,
change In our health to Postum Cerea
Food Coffee"

TORRENT FROM DAM
DEVAS4ATES VALLEY
Savage Reservoir at Utica
Bursts Its Bounds.
BUILDINGS SWEPT AWAY
Residents Had Been Warned of Their
Peril, and No Lives Are Known to
Be Lost-Destruction of Live Stock
Considerable-Danger Soon Over.

| UTICA, N. Y, Sept. 16.-The Savage
reservoir, one Of the five belonging to
the Utica Water Works Company, and
supplying water to this city, burst its
bounds this afternoon and sent its mil
lions upon millions Of gallons OF water
on mission of destruction through the
eastern suburbs of the city.
For several days the gravest appre-
tensions were entertained, as a con-
siderable section of the reservoir bank
had given out, and the water that was
pouring through the ragged hole was
momentarily growing greater in volume.
This afternoon the men on watch at the
crumbling bank, which was sixty feet
in height, noticed the earth gradually
giving way, and started two men on
horseback to warn the hundreds of peo-
pie In the valley below.
Warned of Their Peril.
Chief of Police Cleveland was noti-
fed of the impending danger, and he in
turn hurried officers to spread news Of
the threatened break among the persons
living along the route which it was ex-
pected the torrent would pursue.
At exactly 2:40 the reservoir let &c
fifty feet Of the giant embankment CIV
ing way before the great wall of water
Immediately the small creek used to
carry the waste water from the chain OF
reservoirs was transformed into a rag
ing torrent thirty feet deep and sixty
feet wide.
t6os,
tions. barns upset, trees uprooted, and
all sent tumbling down stream. Con-
siderable live stock was also caught in
the torrent and swept to destruction.
Many bridges. too, with their stone
abutments, were swept aside like chips.
The twenty foot culvert under the
West Shore Railroad tracks at Bleecker
Street became clogged at o'clock.
Trees and bridges had been washed
down the valley and above the culvert
was a great lake of rushing water filled
with all kinds Of debris
Dsuss- Soon Over.
The Glen, wsst nf the Masonic Home,
became roaI.ns food. At 4:30 o'clock
there was better condition at the res
ervoir. OF the millions of gallons Of
water contained in the big dam, nearly
third Of 1t had made its escape. The
upper half of the bottom of the reser-
vofr had made its appearance and there
was considerable relief in the minds of
those watching.
By o'clock practically all danger was
passed and a survey of the path of the
torrent showed that damage estimated
at $125,O0O had been inflicted. AT least
twenty barns. three houses, and several
other farm buildings had been carried
away and destroyed and the loss of |
live stock Is considerable.

PENSION QUESTION
RAISES IT'S HEAD
Matter Will Probably Be Dis
cussed by G. A. R. Men.
OPPOSITION is EXPECTED
10 Any Proposal Looking Toward Re-
duction of the Present Enormous Ex-
penditure for This Purpose by the
Government Officials.

| There is hardly a Government official
IN Washington who does not believe
that the time has come for some ac-
ton looking to better regulation OF
the pension expenditures Of the Govern
ment. That they will not express their
opinions publicly is because they fear
to tread on such apparently dangerous
ground. They have not forgotten the
persistency of purpose which governed
the opposition to Commissioner Evans,
on the ground that he was not liberal
enough in his handling of pension cases.
Commissioner Evans believed in lin
tied retrenchment. He believed that the
pension list could be weeded out with
perfect Justice to the deserving and
much profit to the United States Treas
TRY. President Roosevelt yielded to the
clamor for the retirement of Commits
sioner Evans, but he declared en-
phatically that his successor would be a
man who would follow the same poll
cies. 1t is not unlikely that coming
from an old soldier the proposition for
retrenchment in pensions, along certain
lines, will be discussed with fairness
and justice by the Grand Army veterans
who will meet here next month.
Bitter Opposition Expected.
That there will be bitter opposition
to any retirement scheme from some Of
the veterans :here is no doubt, at the
same time many of the old soldiers are
ready to admit that limit should be
placed on the granting of pensions to
those not actually entitled to them.
One old soldier of some prominence
said last night:
There are thousands of women draw
ing pensions from the Government SIM
ply because they are widows of men who
drew pensions. These women married
men after the war was over, many of
them just before the soldiers deaths,
and they now claim the right to draw
that soldiers pension. 1t is fair enough
to give a pension to the widow of SOL
die- who was his wife before he drew
pension but ] am in favor Of a law
th will prohibit the granting of
widows pension to any woman who mar
ried the soldier after he was granted
Government. aid. Such law would re.
duce the payments by many thousand
dollars

Its Eastern Customers-Crash a Sur
prise to Business Circles.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Creditors of
the firm of Meyer Jonasson & Co., cloak
and suit manufacturers, at S17 Broad
way, filed petition in involuntary bank
ruptcy against the firm with the clerk
of the United States District Court
this morning At the same time Hoadly,
Lauterbach Johnson, representing
the creditors signing the petition, ap-
piled to Judge Adams in the United
States District Court for the appoint
ment of temporary receiver for the
firm. Judge Adams appointed Emanuel
W. Bloomingdale, of Bloomingdale Bros,
receiver.
The firm of Meyer Jonasson Co.
is one of the oldest and best known
cloak houses in the world. The fact
that the conctrn is in financial difficult
ties will come as a surprise to the trade,
because it has been generally supposed
that the senior member of the firm was
many times a millionaire, and that his
firm was doing a large and profitable
business.
Antagonized Retail Firms.
The cause of the firms downfall
dates from the day 1t became retailer
Of cloaks and suits, as we'll as a manu-
facturer. In 1897 the business was
moved from 35S Broadway to the build
ing it now occupies at the southwest
corner of Twelfth Street and Broadway.
The property is owned by persons in
Boston, and Mr.. Jonasson leased 1t at
an annual rental of $4,000 year.
When the firm moved into the new
building it became a retailer as we'll
as wholesaler, and sold suits as well
as cloaks. This antagonized the retail
trade, and all the largest customers
in the East refused to do business with
the firm. The firm then established re-
tail houses in Boston and Pittsburg.
The liabilities are placed at $500, 900.
Hays & Hershfield, the company's at
torneys, say that the assets will equal
the liabilities.
Assets May Be Smaller.
From intimate friends of the elder
Jcnasson it was learned today, how
ever, that those who know best believe
the assets Will not net more than $780,
600, If as much. The firm is indebted
to three hundred firms for merchandise,
and to several local banks for loans.
For about three years Mr.. Jonasson
has been in ill-health. An old friend
of his told a reporter today that the
downfall of his firm has completely
prostrated him.
