WINTERS FLOW
WILL BE HEAVY
RESERVOIR SURPLUS WILL AID
WATERPoWER PLANTS.
Major Derby Says Present Stage Is
Highest in History Of System at This
Season Surplus Left at Close Of
Navigation Season Will Be Drained
Off in Winter.

Because of the greatest rainfall ever
known in one season in northern Min
nesota, the great reservoirs Of the up
per Mississippi now hold in storage
more water than they have ever pre-
viously contained at this time Of year.
So says Major G. NJ. Derby, United
States engineer in charge Of the reser-
voir system. He intimates this may
necessitate emptying the reservoirs dur
ing the winter, which would create un.
usually heavy winter waterpower.
Said Major Derby today:
The amount Of water now on hand
before at this time Of the year. The
river, however, is now steadily falling
and the reservoirs may have to be
heavily drained before Nov. Is, when
navigation closes. The water has
fallen at st. Paul from IA feet inches
July II, to 5Efeet inches today. If it
approaches three feet on the gage, the
reservoirs will be opened more SO as tc
maintain flow Of 5000 cubic feet 8
second, as is necessary to maintain g
three-foot scale measure.
1.-The probabilities are, however, that
the river will not fall very low this
season. In this case there will be left
at the end of the season so large q
volume of water in the reservoirs a.
not safely. to permit the handling OF
the probable high waters of spring. TX
provide for this contingency, If there
is any surplus of water at the close O,
navigation it will be gradually run of
during the winter, that being the season
when the surplus has it's greatest valu,
to the other interests which the system
is, intended to serve incidentally afte
the. requirements of navigation hav
been met.
"The point of the whole difficult,
| OF managing the reservoir system lie
in the fact that some years like thi
we get upwards of $4,000 100000 cub
feet Of water during the spring an
summer months, whereas other year

Chicago, Sept. l6.-Both sides to the
dispute between the Chicago freight

CUMMINS AFTER
DOLLlVER'S SEAT
Former Fast Political Friends
Likely to Be Rivals Before
Legislature of 1907.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 4.-Political
gossip up-to;date has it that Governor
tor J. P: Dolliver for g. q seat in the
United States senate in 1907. The gov
ernor himself refuses to say further
than that he has not made up his
mind.
The legislature Of 1905 would have
elected a successor to Dolliver, but for
the passage Of the biennial election law,
which does away with elections in Iowa
for one year. Under the new law, there
will be an election Of senators and
legislators in 1906, and special session
will he called to meet in January, 1907.
This special session will elect senator.
Dolliver was appointed United States
senator by former Governor Leslie M.
Shaw. At the time Dolliver had never
antagonized the Cummins element OF
the party. He was in fact regarded as
Cummins man. For that matter LATE
Young and many others now opposed to
the governors tariff views were with
| Cummins then. Cummins' strength
helped to secure Dolliver the election
after his term by appointment had
ended There has never been an out-and-
out Cummins-D olliver contest in Iowa:
/ Cummins was strong enough In the
present legislature to select speaker
and Speaker Clarke is his fast friend
| A contest between Cummins and Dolh
yer, for majority Of the next legisla
ture, will put the fighting ground in
northern and northwest Iowa. ..-

DIPLOMATS IGNORE
LAWS OF CAPITAL
Automobilists Violate Speed Reg.
ulations and Hide Behind
International Law,
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Jan. An. Des Portes
de la Fosse, counselor of the French
embassy, violated the speed regulations
for automobiles in Washington last
Sunday and then refused to identify
himself to a policeman. He was not
arrested, but his action will be called to
the attention Of the state department
by the district commissioners, who re-
ceived the report of Major Sylvester,
chief of police.
1t develops that similar complaints
have been made that M. De La Fosse
takes refuge in his immunity from ar
rest, because Of his connection with the
diplomatic corps, to defy the speed
regulations of the district. On at least
two other occasions the super
intendent of police has re-
ported complaints to the com.
missioners of the district. He an.
nounces his intention of again calling
the commissioners attention to the
French counsellor's attitude toward the
local regulations. Hitherto the matter
has not gone beyond the commission
but in several other fragrant violations
of local laws by members of diplo
matte corps, the commissioners have
seen fit to take the matter up will
the state department, as there is Nc
remedy at law.

GETS $4,000 FOR
4 LIVING DEATH
Man Paralyzed from Neck Down.
Bernard McGovern's Appear
ance Appeals to Jury.

New York, Jan. 4.-Prone on a
stretcher, his back broken and par
alyzed from his waist down, Bernard
McGovern presented the most pitiable
spectacle ever seen in q courtroom as
he gave his testimony in his suit
against the Manhattan Elevated Rail
road company to recover 100000 for
injuries inflicted upon him.
1t was the first time McGovern had
been outside of his own room in three
years. On Feb. 10, 1901, he had been
knocked from the Third avenue "L"
lat One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street, and from that day active life
ended for him. He has lain helpless
in bed until he was placed in an am
bulance and carried to the supreme
court room, in which the case was be-
ing heard.
Placed parallel to the jury box. the
stretcher lay where every juror could
plainly see the wasted, emaciated form
helpless man shone brightly under the
excitement of the occasion, and his
voice, husky and broken and so weak
as to carry no further than the jury,
had-a weird, uncanny infection that
chilled the hearts Of all who heard it.
! Austen G.. Fox, who appeared for the
railroad company, was particularly con-
slderate of the injured man. He. asked
no question that was not absolutely nee.
essary, and permitted the witness to BIZ
carried from the courtroom as soon as
he had concluded his questioning.
It was shown that while adjusting :
third rail son the "L' track train
approached from behind striking 3
loose rail, the end Of which threw Nc
Govern into the street.
DR.. Thomas H. Manley, surgeon tx
the Harlem hospital, testified that MIR
McGovern g back was broken and thai
he would never be otherwise than a!
the jury saw him. The jury awarded
him $4,000. s.z ..-.
McGovern will remain dead from tn
neck down until he goes to his grave
but Lawyer Fox, on behalf of the com
pany, claimed he took the risk Of an,
injury he might receive in carrying on
the work in which he was engaged.
