The water in the river is stationary
at 1913 feet, and unless heavy rains
occur tonight no further raise is eX-
pected, but, on the other hand, fall
will begin. The conditions in the low
er end of town are improved some
what today, as the pumps have begun
to get start on the accumulated wa
ters in the sewers. The danger there,
too, will subside rapidly if there is no
further rain. Much more actual dam
age seems to have been done at Mo-
line by the high8 water. than here.
There the factories along the river
front have had their, easements flood

No further rise of any consequence

On the Railroads.
The Rock Island is practically cut
off from its western lines. There has
not been through train for three
days from the far southwest. Califor-
mia or Denver The Kansas City wires
are down. and as no Geographic com
munication cam be had it is not known
in some instances what has become
of trains or how the passengers and
crews have Jared. 1t is known, how
ever, that large number of ears and
several engines are under water in the
yards at Kansas City. On the Iowa
division the greatest washout is at
Metz, and Newton is at present the
western terminus of traffic. Metz is
% miles this side of Des Moines. 1t
Colfax, six miles west of Metz, the
Skunk river is on rampage and the
track is under water in a number of
places and from there on into Des
Moines the water has washed out and
undermined the track at various
points.
North and South Traffic.
The north and south-bound trains
on the st. Louis-St. auI division of the
Burlington seem to have escaped the
easiest of any Of the trains entering
the tri-cities. Both trains, north and
south. were on time as usual this
morning and have been during all the
time of the heavy rains. The danger
to the D., II. l. g. \. w. at the Wapsie
bottoms will be past if the water does
not attain any greater stage. The
noon train on the c., NJ. 81 st. =. was
delayed about half an hour by a slight
washout up the line, but the damage
done was insignificant. On the Hi
nois division of the Rock Island the
local trains are running on time and
stub trains have taken the place of
some of the through trains. Trans
continental traffic on all the lines is
practically at a standstill, and no
tickets are being sold to points be-
yond the Missouri.

The Rock Island ball team remain
ed at home today on account of hav-
ing received telegram last evening
from Belden Hill stating that the dia-
mond at that city was too wet to use
today. 1t is likely that the team will
go to Rabbitville tomorrow if there is
further demonstration on the part
of Jupiter Pluvius.
Yesterday was an off day in the
league and there would have been no
games even though the weather had
been perfect, which condition did not
prevail.
President Sexton had not returned
home this afternoon, and IS nothing
had been heard from him at baseball
headquarters it is supposed that he
is Investigating conditions at Aurora
with view of possibly placing the
franchise that has been forfeited by
Joliet in that city. y dispatch states
that he has offered the franchise to
Springfield, but this is deemed to be
premature. 1t is likely that Spring
field has been communicated with,
however, for it is known that city is
particularly anxious for Il place in
the league. which was denied when
the reorganization was effected last
spring.

American Board of Trade
Charges Favoritism.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. Is. =
The American Board of Trade of Ma
Mia has issued a circular denouncing
the government of the Philippines un-
der Gov. Taft and the commission. 1t
is charged that 70 per cent of the rev.
enue of the islands is used in paying
the salaries Of officeholders, many Of
whom are Filipinos. and that the atti-
tude of Taft and his associates is
against American trade with and
American occupation of the islands.
The charges are made personal, and
the circular repeats several times:
This means you, Taft"
1t is claimed that whenever possible
Gov. Taft has turned down Americans
and has made every effort not only to
discourage others from going to the
islands, but even to drive out those al
ready there. He is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that the Philip
pines are for the F'ilipinos, and that
Americans have no place there. When
ever possible he has placed natives in
lucrative offices in preference to Amer

ton from the Maryland state commit
tee of the holders of federal offices in
my state. His position then was that
the holders of position under the
United States government should take
no part in strictly partisan political
work. Yet today we witness the amaz-
ing and extraordinary spectacle of the
president of the United States, with
supervision over all holders of federal
offices, virtually assuming the work OF
the Republican state central commit
tee of Maryland. Mr. Roosevelt is vir-
tually conducting the campaign in
Maryland for the Republicans, and yet
he has record for being reformer
of the civil service. No such spectacle,

AT this point Mr.. German was jo-
cosely asked if Mr.. Roosevelt was like
ly to make Republican campaign
speeches in Maryland. Smilingly, he
replied:

dent himself can tell what his next
move will be, in view of his participa-
ton in the state fight in Maryland"

MAE WOOD SPEAKS

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 15.-The blame
for divulging the sensational story of
Miss Mae Woods contemplated suit
against Senator Thomas Platt is
placed by Miss Wood on an unnamed,

The information came in a telegram to

Wood have received since the circum-

GIVES UP OWN SON TAFT is DENOUNCED
Man Claims Reward for Cap
ture of Murderer.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 15.-For deliv-
ering his son, who had been sentenced
to death for murder but broke Jail, to
the sheriff of Wilcox county, Amos
Caruthers, father of the boy has ap-
piled to Gov. Terrill for the $3.50 re-
ward offered for the capture of the
criminal. Tom Caruthers, the boy, will
be hanged tomorrow for the murder of
Henry Byrd.
After the boys conviction he sue
ceeded in breaking Jail and fed. The
state offered a reward of $3.50 for the
capture of the boy, and when the
father heard of the reward he gave
information to the sheriff that led to
the boys arrest. Now the father,
backed by the sheriff, demands the re-
ward for delivering his son to certain
death.
In explanation of his action Ca
ruthers says his son was fugitive
and was about to starve to death, and
he thought it was better to put the au-
thorities on his track and get the re-
ward. He says that death by hanging
is preferable to death by starvation,
and, in addition, the family gets $3.50.
Gov. Terrill has not rendered a de-
cision. The case is without prece-
dent in the criminal history of the
state.

.FORETELLS TRAGEDY
Woman's Prediction Husband
viii Shoot Her Is Fulfilled.

| CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-In less than
two hours after Mrs. L. r. Holley told
a number of persons seated about a
| table in a boarding house at 1928 Mich
| igan avenue My husband is going to
| shoot me tonight" she was being con-
veyed to the Baptist hospital, suffering
from three bullet wounds inflicted by
| her spouse.
Whether Mrs. Holley made the re-
| mark after receiving a threat from
her husband, Lloyd R. Holley, or
whether it was a joke, the police have
been unable to ascertain, but they are
of the opinion that the couple had
trouble early in the day and HolIey
threatened his wifes life. Holley, who
banker in Dixon, ILL.,, and told the po-
lice that he served in the Philippines
during the late war. He refused to
talk about the shooting when ques-
toned by the police.
1t was while seated at the dinner
table in the boarding house of C. P.
Batchelder, where she was living, that
Mrs. Holley remarked that her hus-
band was going to shoot her. Several
| acquaintances at the table at the time
heard her, but, thinking it an idle re-
mark, paid no attention to It,
A few moments later Mrs. Holley
left the dining room and went to her
apartments. She had been there but
short time when the boarders seated
at dinner were startled by the report
Of four pistol shots. Several of the
men went to make an investigation.
When they reached the stairs leading
to Mrs. Holley's room they met her
coming down dressed in street attire.
She was clinging to the banister and
was about to swoon, when Henry
Brown, one of the boarders, caught her
in his arms and carried her to parlor.

the confidence of the country in Wall

But they do not appear anywhere i'm

In view of the clamlike silence of the
steel officials and the refusal of others
to give the facts, Wall street does not
know just how the facts will get to
the public and cause the explosion the
street feels is certain to come.
