PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
 TAXES A HAND
In the Investigation of the Turf In-
 vestment Companies.

Washington, March 14. Serious charges have been filed with President Roosevelt against a practicing attorney formerly an employe of the postoffice department. but they are of such ma ture that at this time they cannot be disclosed.
 The charges were placed in the hands of the president by T. c. Campbell, an attorney of Cincinnati. representing one or more of the turf investment con- cerns about which recently there has been much scandal. It is understood that the burden of the charges is that the former received a large sum of money from the turf investment com panies for preparing an opinion de- claring the statement of such invest ment companies to be legitimate and for a promise of protection to be given to the companies by officials.
 When the matter was brought to the presidents attention he regarded it as so serious that he ordered a sweeping investigation made. The president has directed that no means be left untried to develop the facts and to punish the guilty, if the guilt of any official shall be shown by the investiga ton.

Talk of Foods.

! dlk O1 I OOuS.
 The New York papers recently con- tained a long account of the so-called discovery Of a celebrated professor in one of the leading universities. The discover" related to a new and sue cessful way of treating wheat and bar ley to prepare the starchy part by dry baking, so it would be made more di- Sestible and nutritious. Thereupon Professor Livingstone commenting on the discovery of the other Professor says, A discoverer who was a business man first and a scientist afterward found that such foods could be made more digestible when cooked with dry heat instead of by boiling in water, and has already placed on the market the food which he discovered prior to Dr. This refers to Grape Nuts the most scientifically made food known. Grape-Nuts can be easily di- gested by babies or anyone with a weak stomach and the food contains 1 the most powerful rebuilding element known, particularly as relates to the rebuilding of the brain and nerve cen ters. It is a delicious food requiring no cooking but ready for instant ser vice just as it comes from the pack age. A recipe book free in each package describes many delicious dishes made from Grape Nuts.

FOR DEVELOPMENT
 OF WATER WEALTH
Department Ruling Regarding Sink
 ing of Artesian Wells.

Washington, March 1.-The follow Ing IS extracted from a recent decision or the secretary of the interior on the subject of drilling artesian wells under the provisions of the recIamation act of June IT, 1902:
 The act in question provides that all moneys received from the sale and disposal of public lands in certain states and territories shall be reserved. set apart and appropriated as a special fund in the treasury, to be known as the reclamation fund.- and used in the examination and survey for and construction of irrigating works for the storage, diversion and development of waters in the reclamation of the arid and semi-arid lands in said states and territories.
 Preliminary examinations and sur veys will probably be necessary to the sinking of any artesian well, but nc reasonable construction of the Ian guage used will sustain the conclusion that said act contemplates the sinking of such wells as a part of the prelim- mary eXamina tions authorized.
 The fund created thereby is to be used to develop and conserve the water

supply for irrigation purposes: Chi merical propositions are not to be eX- plotted In the prosecution of this work, no project, whether it involves the scheme of artesian wells. the construc- ton of reservoirs, or of any other ir- rigation works, should be entered upon that does not appear to be feasible and that does not present a probability that it will tend to the attainment of the object proposed. It is not permissible to sink an artesian well or to con- struct any work for conserving water when there are no reasons for suppos- ing that water can probably be had or that, if had, it will not be suitable for irrigation purposes. Neither is it per- missible to sink an artesian well, or to undertake and other work tending to develop or conserve the water supply where it is not probable that the water will be needed for irrigation.

THE WITNESSES
 OF BURDICK MURDER
Four Who Might Reve Known
 About If Examined
A Little Old httache Who Saw the Famous Manufacturer With a Bottle in His Hand and Didn't Know What Became of It.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 14.-Four wit nesses were examined today at the opening of the inquest into the death of Edwin L. Burdick. They were Dr. Rowland, the assistant medical exam iner, who was one of the first to visit the Burdick home on the morning of February 26, after the discovery of the murder; Detective Hollund, one of the detectives who visited the house on the same morning; Mrs. Maria Hull, Mrs. Burdick's mother, and Maggie Murray, a cook in the Burdick household, the two women who discovered Burdick lying dead in his den.
 The Burdick family was we'll repre- scented by counsel. District Attorney Coatsworth conducted the examination of the witnesses. The most interesting witness of the day was Mrs. Hull. She is little woman with a nervous but resolute face, blue eyes and gray hair She was gowned entirely in black and wore a long mourning veil, fastened well back from the forehead. Not withstanding her sixty-four years, Mrs Hull stood up under two hours of se- were examination by District Attorney Coatsworth with remarkable coolness Her answers were given in a calm quiet tone, excepting now and thel when her voice took on a peculiar ring She used smelling salts occasionally but never became confused.
 Mrs. Hull said that Burdick came into the dining-room on Thursday evening (the night of the murder). He had a bottle in his hand. She did not know what it contained, nor did she see it again. She thought it strange that it had disappeared. Burdick and his daughter Marian were in her room about 7:30. They talked about a mes sage from Mrs. Burdick. She did mol see Burdick again that night. Wher she got up the next morning the Mur- ray girl called to her that the from door was open and the kitchen window was open. She had called to Burdich and got no answer.
 When she went to the den, she saiG she opened the door a little way ant called, Ed, Ed, Ed She saw some thing on the couch. It was dark 1T there. She saw the Murray girl in thu half light and said: Maggie, I feal something has happened. Do not dare to go in there. What shall we do?' Then I said that we had better sent for Dr. Marcy. She said she was very much frightened.
 MT Coatsworth's examination wa conducted all through with the eviden purpose of breaking down the witness but without avail.

The Black river from South Bend is running over it's banks. The officials of the Natchez, Red River & Texas railroad announced today that they must close the levee near Black river Station, La, and move their terminal back several hundred yards, from which point they will transfer freight by boat to Jonesville and Trinity.
 The Sycamore levee can stand about two and a half feet more, but the wat CT is backing in from the river at a heavy rate. It is expected that some of the levees will not ke high enough to stand the rise that is coming. All the lowlands from Vicksburg to Bayou Sara are under water and some of the finest plantations around the delta are flooded.

MISSISSIPPI STAGE
 SLOWLY CLIMBING UP
What May Happen on the Lower
 River, Matter of Conjecture.

Memphis. Tenn. March II. - The stage of the river at six o'clock was 373 feet, a stage equal to the maximum of the flood of 1897, when such wide spread damage was done throughout the delta. The rise since six o'clock this morning has been five-tenths of foct The maximum of the present rise is expected to reach here about Wednesday and officials of the weather bureau say they anticipate about thir- ty-nine feet.
 All the levees in this vicinity are re- ported to be holding. There is grave apprehension, however. for the safety of the country beyond the levees. One Of the greatest causes of anxiety is that the ievees may be cut by some person and who may be benefited thereby.

Chicago, March 14.-In the democratic primaries which were held today Mayor Carter H. Harrison, candidate for renomination. secured practically all the delegates to the city convention and will without doubt be the candidate of his party.
 The aldermanic contest in the Twen- ty-first ward excited the chief interest of the day. This is the home ward ot the mayor and Robert E. Burke, a prominent democratic leader. The mayor desired the renomination o1 Honore Palmer, and Burke supported John c. Dalton. Both factions worked hard, but Palmer won by a decisive ma jority, carrying even the primary dis trict in which Burke resides. The mayoralty convention will be held next Monday.

WAITING AT NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, March 1HThough New Orleans has experienced the most ter rife rainfall in many years, the river tonight is at the same stage as early morning, reading 19.3, three-tenths un- der the record of six years ago. Dur ing the forenoon the work of mending the weak spots in the levees along both sides of the river continued and placed in position, but the unusual pre- cipitation, amounting almost to a cloudburst, suspended operations for a time. All the entertainments resisted the double strain, however, and to- night discioses no material change in conditions. No breaks up the river had been reported when darkness fell.
 The engineering authorities continue optimistic, but it will not be surpris- ing if something develops about the city before the crest of the flood reaches New Orleans.
 The rainfall here during twelve hours amounted to 1.92 inches, of which 51h inches fell from noon to 3 o'clock. Drainage machinery simply over whelmed and many streets are flooded, lower floors of stores in many places being under water.
 The Natchez guage rose .25 and is now 3.6 feet above tke danger line, Gloomy reports come from the back part of Concordia Parish, La, opposite this (Adams) county, where the culti vated lands along the Little and Black rivers are being flooded by water out of the Red and Ouachita rivers and hundreds of acres of unpicked cotton are being submerged.

whose people were edherents of the Catholic faith.
 In the discussion of the title to the
 Panama Canal company, Mi. Spooner traced the history of the liquidation
 proceedings concerning the canal cor
 cession through the French courts. He contended for the regularity of every step taken and therefore urged that the claims to the title was perfectly good. Senator Spooner claimed that the United States would have an indispu- table right to fortify the canal under
 the general provision Of the treaty
 authorizing the defense. Toward the
 close oi his address Senator Spooner
 was questioned by number of demo-
 cratic senators, particularly by Senator
 Morgan. In reply to these questions
 and Of his own accord, Senator Spooner
 said that there were some features of
 the treaty which he would prefer to
 have otherwise, but the terms were the
 best that it had been possible to se- cure and in view of the popular de-
 sire for an er-oceanic canal he be- ieved that expediency demanded that
 the treaty should be accepted as it was
 sent to the senate by the president Mir. Spooner closed five minutes past five o'clock after speaking five hours. Ee was followed by Senator Depew, who read written speech, supporting the treaty as in the interest of the people of the entire country. He re- ferred to the criticism that the cana! would be injurious to the railroad fn- ! terests of the country and he said as
 a railroad man and making a claim to special knowledge on that subject that
 ne was thoroughly convinced that such would not be the case
 senator Bacon offered the following amendment to the treaty, being a sub- stitCfe for article 23, to which the demo-
 cratic senators would take exception . The government of the United States , shall have and exercise the exclusive
 right to provide and enforce such means and measures as it may deer,
 advisable and necessary for the regula- tlon and management of the canal hnd
 for the safety and protection therefor and the ships to make use of said canal and the railways and other works with
 III said zone, including all persons and cafgoes and freights and other property
 connected with the construction, main 1 tenance and operation of said cana i and the use thereof; and for the ac- oomFhshment of these ends and for the enforcement and maintenance of peace and order within said zone, and for the protection of said property and the
 lives and persons of those employed
 upon the canal, railway and other works. or engaged in the use thereof ] the United States shall employ such
 force as may by it be deemed necessary | and to this end shall have tho ,.;pb+ |, all times, and in it's direction, to use its ! police and land and naval forces fol i these purposes
 Senator Morgan also submitted z
 number of amendments in addition te those which he had previously pre- i scented.
 l At $40 the senate adjourned unti Monday.

A FURTHER DISCLOSURE.

Washington, March If. - Sena tor Spoo-ler took sharp issue with Senator Morgan as to the necessity of making Inquiry concerning the credentials of Senor Herran, who was Colombia's representa- tive in the negotiation of the treaty with that country saying that such a proceeding on the part of one country in negotiation with another would be most extraordinary, and it would certainly be resented. He con- tended that one country making a treaty with another must recognize the de factor government of the other and could not enter upon an inquiry as to the origin or substantially of the oth- CT government. He also made a reply to Senator Morgan's references to the religious affiliations of the Colombian government.
 Senator Morgan had cortended that the United States had practically al- lied itself with the church party in Colombia, and that it had in effect committed itself to the terms of con- cord, or the agreement between Pope Leo and the Colombian government. This view Mir. Spooner characterized as entirely contrary to the facts. He sald that under the treaty there would De no preteXt for interference by Col ohlplan authorities with the religious conduct Of affiliations of Americans in the canal zone. He ridiculed the idea that by making treaty the goyern- ment Of the United States could thus be accused of taking a position against the minority party or the party not in power in the country with which it was made and he said that i; 2 stric- tCre of that kind was applicable in tEe present case it would apply to our relations with many other countries
