GERMAN EMPRESS
Thrown from Horse and Painfully
 Injured.

Berlin, March 27.-Whle the German empress was galloping through the Grunewald g forest near Charlotten- burg this afternoon, her horse. startled by doe that ran across the path, shied and threw her off. The empress broke the fall with her left arm. and one of the bones snapped just about the wrist. The emperor. Prince Adelbert. General Non Loewenfeld, General Van Wedel, and number of following adjutants and aides in tie camp. quickly gath cred around her. The emperor h as the first to lift her from the ground She screamed with pain at the first shock, but after that showed much fortitude
 pr Leutheold, the emperor's physi- clan, arrived an hour and a half after the accident. He was followed by Ma lJr- Bunker, the special physician of the empress. The fractured arm was dress ed and bandaged at the hunting lodge and her majesty was then driven in a carriage slowly back to Berlin. The empress sat in the carriage with her arm in sling under her jacket, the emperor riding beside her on horse back His majesty's close attendance caused some wonder, as the party passed through Unter Den Linden It was an hour later before extra editions explained the reason. No bulletin has neen issued by the doctors, who affirm that the injury is a case of simple frac- ture.

unquestionably the worst in the history of the levee system. He says the entire delta south as far as Vicksburg will be inundated. and the fine farming lands in Washington, Bolivar and Sharkey counties will be under water for more than two weeks.
 This is the first break to be reported on the Mississippi side since the present rise began. Major Sears says a des- perate struggle is being made to pre- vent the further widening of the break by revetting the ends of the levee and strengthening them with sand sacks. It is feared that this will not be accom- pliShed as the breach is widening.
 Reports from the interior are very meagre, but it is believed the people were fully prepared for a break, and the loss of life. if any, will be reduced to minimum. though the loss of stock may be quite heavy. The damage to plantations and the interference with planting cannot be estimated.
 The situation at midnight grows worse for Greenville. Work on the pro- tecting levee through Main street has been abandoned and water has reached Washington avenue, the highest point Tn the city. Appeals for help have been coming in all night from the Tuxedo , and racetrack additions and relief boats are being sent to their relief The news comes from these additions that people were seen clinging to the roofs of houses and rafts to escape the rising waters.
 Many lives have been reported lost One woman and five children perished in one house, but tomorrow will tell the fate of many poor unfortunates. The southern part of the city is entirely under water.

INDICTMENTS
 AGAINST FLOWER
Other Charges Against the
 Arizona Promoter
He Secures One Advantage Reduc- lion of His Bail From $50,000 to $5.O0O-A Promise to Reimburse One of His Victims.

New York. March 27.-Four additional indictments charging Dr. Richard c. Flower with larceny were returned by the grand jury today. An indictment superseding the one already found against Dr. Flower on complaint of Mrs. Belle Gray Taylor was also handed down. The four additional indictments were found on the- complaints of Her man H. Butrick, who alleges that Flower defrauded him of S950; A. Sol mans, president of the South Norwalk (Conn.) National bank, who claims that he was defrauded of $500; s. W. Moo ley, who places his loss at $500, and H. B. Woodruff, who says he was de- frauded of s42O.
 When the hearing of the charge of taking $500 from Mrs. Taylor was re- sumed, counsel for Dr. Flower again objected to the bail of s5O.000 in which Flower was held. Assistant District Attorney Garvan replied that the Ari- zona- Eastern Montana company has urged many people to invest in the mines, that there were charges involv- ing more than s1,00O,090, and that Dr. Flower was very wealthy. MT. Garvan doueu lhdl lie Hdu IeCeiNeu lette. from the defendants attorney offerinS to pay Mrs. Taylor her claim if she would stop .he criminal prosecution. Counsel for Flower denied that there was such a letter. Justice Greenbaum ordered Dr. Flowers bail reduced to 5000.
 Later s15.0OO was added to Flowers bond to cover the four new indictments Mrs Cornelia A. Stars offered security to cover the whole amount of bail, but the assistant district attorney declined to accept it until he had had forty eight hours to investigate.

Particulars of Antarctic Expedition
 Resulting in New Record

Lyttleton, New Zealand, March D. Further particulars from the Antarctic relief ship Morning. which arrived here Wednesday. show that the dash for the south made by a party from the Dis covery, which resulted in establish ing the record for tfe furthest point south commenced December 15 last, when Captain Scott of the Discovery and Dr. Wilson ari Lieutenant Shack teton left the depot which had been es- tablished in SG.4 degrees south and reached latitude S2.17 south not SO.17 west as was previously reported.
 The party was absent forty-five days. After establishing a depot forty-five miles south CT the ship the snow got soft and Captain Scott and his com panions had to drag the sledges. This work was the most arduous labor, and lasted twenty-nine days, when anOth- CT depot was esta blished in S0.3. There the explorers discarded their superflu- ous gear, started southward on the dash December 15, reached S2.17 Janu- ary l. reSained the southermost depot January b and returned to their ship February 3.

MR. JEROME'S FORCES
 INVADE A POOL ROOM
A Sensational Raid by a Half Dozen
 Detectives.

New York, March 21-In effecting an entrance into an alleged pool room in the basement oi six-story building on West Third street today. two detectives were forced to chop a hole through the floor in the rear room of a saloon and drop into the room below where four other detectives were holding the men inside at bay with their revolvers. Will liam Daly, said to be the proprietor, and other leaders were arrested.
 The raid was sensational one. Ac- cording to the story told to the police the place was cunnirgly fortified and guarded. An elaborate system Of sig nals had to be given by several scntries before a would-be bettor could gain en- trance to the room. Pocket telephones electric buttons, "buzzers, secret slides and maze" figure in the story. When the visitor finally satisfied the sentry that he was all right he was passed along to the room the door of which was immediately bolted. There were five of these rooms leading into the al legged pool room and in some of the en- closures there were three or four doors built to bewilder an invading party
 Detective Sargeants Kerr and Fog arty disguised as truck drivers, had frequently visited the place, where they claim to have played bets on the races at Bennings. They were there today when Detective Sergeants Vallely and Collins dropped through the ceiling
 Nallely and Collins. dressed in labor CTS, entered the cafe. which is an clab- orately decorated one. Vallely had crowbar and q sledge hammer. and Collins was equipped with two axes and sledge hammer. Each carried a jimmy" They went at once to the rear room. There they arrested the outer sentries and while one detective watched the prisoners the other batter ed down a door. As soon 2s the blows were heard in the inner room, Kerr and Fogarty drew their reVolvers, and backing to a corner. covered the crowd.
 Meanwhile Vallely, after battering down one door, came to a second. This, though built of oak, soon gave way, and the detectives found themselves in a room which had three doors. Cutting through one of these doors, the detec- tives and their prisoners entered an other room. which also had three doors They were in the maze" It was then that the detectives decided to go up stairs to the rear room of the saloon
 where Vallely cut through the floor Several policemen which had been at tracte6i to the place by this time watch ed the prisoners, while Nallely and Col lins and uniformed policemen dropped on the alleged pool room. Those ar rested. beside the alleged proprietors. were his alleged managers. The others found in the place were allowed to go.

New Orleans, March 27.-Interest in the flood situation here today centerei in the break at Hymelia. near Lucy. La, forty miles above the city, and the disastrous crevasse reported south Of Greenville. The cotton men felt es- pecially concerned with respect to the latter and the announcement in private messages that one hundred acres of the richest delta land probably would be under water created q feeling of de- pression. While this break doubtless will cause a fall in the river in the vicinity of Greenville and for a consid- erable distance south the water which goes through must inevitably return to the Mississippi through the Yazoo, thus prolonging the period of hign water south of that point.
 The days developments at Hymelia gave much encouragement. Under ex- perienced crevasse fighters 700 laborers were put to work early in the forenoon. and tonight's advices were to the effect that if the work is not interrupted the break will be closed by Monday The width of the crevasse is between 150 and 200 feet. large area is already sub iitCA SCd, DOl II lIiG tllOIlS Ol lIlG lOEctS at work are successful the water will quickly drain off. The crevasse is in the heart of one of the richest sugar districts of Louisiana. If it should get beyond control many valuable planta- tions will be covered with water>in l few days. The Transpacif1e and Southern Pacific roads have not thus far been affected, but trouble is likely to occur if the crevasse is not closed. It is expected at the Illinois Central office that through traffic over the Mis- sissippi Valley road will be suspended as a result Of the disaster.
 The belief that the high water levee was cut in order to relieve other situ- ations is strong, and any attempt to re- peat the action is likely to be followed by bloodshed if the perpetrators are caught. The river has fallen consider ably in the immediate vicinity of lily melia and the strain has been material ly lessened on the levees on the east bank of the river. The effect here is only slightly appreciable. At one time today the gauge marked as high as 2O.-. but the river has gone back to 20.., T net decline of 0.1 from yesterday. The weather bureau expects the rise to De resumed if work at Hymelia is suc- cessful

Havana. March 27.-Advices have been received here from the Cuban minister at Washington, Senor Quesa- da, to the effect that the condition which the majority of the Cuban sena te committee recommends attaching to the reciprocity treaty Chat it's ratified tion by the United States congress must be completed before December D will certainly nullify the treaty.
 President Palma had q two hours conference at the palace today with the entire foreign relations committee of the Cuban senate, at which every en- deavor was made to induce the commit tee to eliminate the condition regard ing the limit of time in which the reel procity treaty is to become effective. The minority, however, persisted in its opposition.
 Of the three maj jority senators, Senors Capote and Dolz appeared willing to ratify the treaty without the time limit condition, provided Senor Bustamentc, the chairman, would consent. But the latter was obdurate. President Palma and Senor Zalda, secretary of foreign affairs, offered to inform the United States government that the treaty would be ratified only on the under standing that it would be operative by the date desired, but Bustamente in sisted that it should be made a legal condition of acceptance.

WON \ BEAU Pumped Up and Was Advanced s10 Per Month

Not every one has the sound, sturdy strength of character to tell the honest truth about themselves. The following was written by a lady who calls her self an "old maid" and the way coffee treated her is certainly interesting She says T was a coffee drinker and gradually became more and more irri- table and nerVouse in the school room My complexion was sallow and sickly, and as l look back now l know l devel- oped into very unpopular and dis agreeable person. h fact I had little prospect e. keeping my position last year. Not only that but I failed to pass the required examinations. This latter fact aroused me to the knowledge that coffee was deadening my brain and slowly destroying memory and reason.
 My sister had quit the use of coffee in her family and adopted Postum. and had been strongly urging that I do likewise. One day I started in, that WaS red letter day for me. I began sleep ing sound at night instead of lying awake half the time and the change in my feelings from nervousness and irri- liability to comfort peace and content cannot be told in words.
 I had been a trembling, broken down.
 
 but after my restful sleep, increased strength of brain and body instead of weakness and illness, I slowly changed in my whole appearance. Began to plump up, my complexion changed from a sallow. muddy looking skin to a fresh pink and white, as nice as when I was IS.
 I took another examination and pass ed it easily. My high grades together with the improved work in the school and my changed character caused the Trustees to raise my salary ten dol lars month, and l will tell you a sec ret. Whether it was an increased reDu- 1 tation for good sense, or for some oth- : CT reason, one of the best citizens of the town, q widower, has made d little contract with me that will be ca:'riad out some of these days, I shant tell when.
 Don't you think I ought to say good things about Postum. and do you think will ever go back to coffee drinking?" Name of this lady will be given on application to Postum Cereal Co, Ltd. Battle Creek. Mich.
