BLOCKADE ENDS
IN new MEXICO.
Washouts on Santa Fe Road
Repaired and California
Trains Again Start East
LAS ANIMAs is HIGH
Great Damage Done by the
Rising Water in Colorado
to the Bridges and Fills

GALLUP, N NJ, April 26.-Late this
afternoon word was received from Su-
perintendent Gibson that the washout
on the Santa Fe between Grants and
Horace had been repaired and the total
blockade of through trains, which has
existed since last Sunday afternoon, is
over. The five coast trains, which had
been laid up here, were started east
this evening in four sections, fifteen
minutes apart. California Limited No.
4. which left Los Angeles at o'clock
Sunday evening, was the first train to
go out on the newly repaired road, car
rying all the mails from the other coast
trains The remaining four trains were
consolidated into three sections and
forwarded as rapidly as possible.
TRINIDAD, Colo, April 26.-The Las
Animas River reached its highest mark
here at o'clock tonight At that
hour the south approach to the Rio
Grande Railroad bridge dropped into
the river. Railroad rails were thrown
into the river to keep the wrecked por-
ton of the bridge from washing away,
but the force of the flood is so strong
that 1t may be washed away at any
moment. The store Of the Colorado
Supply Company has been flooded and
an army of men is engaged in remov
ing the goods. The company has suf-
fered considerable damage, which can
not be estimated at this time. The
river is gradually washing away the
new Santa F'e I'LL despite the fact that
hundreds of men are at work dumping
trainloads of rock into the river bed in
order to change the channel.
A temporary water supply was fur
nished the business portion of the city
to-day by laying a water main across
the Rio Grande bridge. The wrecking
OF this bridge makes it extremely un-
certain when a water supply can be
had again. All westbound Santa Fe
trains are held up here on account of
the washout near Starkville, five miles
south of here. Seven heavily loaded
passenger trains are stalled, including
two specials bearing United States SOL
diers from Medicine Barracks, near AL
legheny, Pa, Arsenal and Fort
Thomas, KY, to the Philippines.
OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T.. April 26.-
The flood waters of the South Cana
dian River reached Oklahoma during
last night, and carried out portion of
the Frisco bridge at Fay. During the
day the flood reached the Rock Island
main line and carried away fifty feet of
the railway bridge at Minco. Trains
are being detoured over the Santa Fe.
The Frisco bridge over the river at
Mustang, south of this city, is threat
ened. The river is still rising.

Books Show Single Years
Profits for the Big Six
to Have Been $500
ACCOUNTS IN COURT
More Than One Half of the
Syndicate's Revenues Go
to Klaw and Erlanger
Special dispatch to rne Cali.

NEW YORK, April 26.-David Be
lasco, the playwright, has succeeded
partly, at least. in getting information
from the books of the theatrical syndi-
cate showing some Of the profits which
his rivals. Klaw & Erlanger, received
from The Auctioneer.''
Numerous books were produced to-
day before Judge Fitzgerald in the
Supreme Court, at the conclusion of
the suit instituted by Belasco against
Joseph Brooks for an accounting of
the profits of 1.-The Auctioneer'' and
when some Of the details of the profits
were disclosed, Belasco seemed greatly
pleased.
1t was disclosed that the books show
the profits of the syndicate from the
theaters, but when questioned as to
the profits of the "Auctioneer,' Walk
er said it was impossible for him to
state them. He showed, in the case
Of the Harlem Opera house, where the
Warfleld production appeared, that the
receipts for one week amounted to
$l0,S92. Sixty per cent wen to Belas-
co and Brooks, the latter having testi-
fed that the gave to Klaw & Erlanger
two-thirds of his share and $3320 net
profits went to the opera-houSe.
Klaw & Erlanger receive thirty three
and one-third per cent of all syndicate
profits, but Walker could not tell what
proportion of the $500 was received
by the syndicate.
The books disclose that during the
season Of 1902 the net profits of the
syndicate from the various theaters
controlled by Klaw & Erlanger
amounted $227, 500. Walker was asked
by Untermayer to state what proper
ton of this sum Klaw & Erlanger re-
ceived and he replied, $127, 800.
