point, or mean low water stage of the
 river. This top layer Is approximately
 20 feet wide and from its lower escarp-
 ment it slopes downward, step-fashior. for a distance of 40 to SO feet in dif- ferent places, so the foundation of the dam clear across the river is completed for a width of from 50 to so feet as the conformation of the bed rock makes
 necessary in various places and as
 stated above, on the upper side, its all
 titude is not more than eight feet below normal river level
 When the water broke through the
 gigantic breastwork of loose rock sur
 mounting the coffeF dam. the natural
 result expected is that the loose rock was swept over into the abyss between the coffer dam and the rock dam,
 strengthening the sheet piling of the former which it is not conceived can possibly be loosened. When that re- ceptacle was filled the surplus rock. if there was any. together with the water, swept over the rock dam and filled up the excavation below. The machinery all being saved, when the river goes down the hydraulic apparatus and the derricks, etc, will immediately clean out the big hole, throwing the boulders and other debris back on the coffer dam, where it came from. to a height sufficient again to divert the water long enough to permit the building of the upper face of the dam another twenty feet higher. and then Mir. Flood can come and do it's worst with out harining anybody. It is fortunate the construction is as far along as it is and that the machinery has been saved. The net darage of this flood may be set down as only the loss of little time. whether it be a week or a month cannot yet be learned, but 1t is trivial compared with what might have happened had the flood come a couple of months ago..
 At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon it was reported that the river at Roose- welt was carrying 5000 second feet. still rising. and the rain falling all over that section. At 3:45 D. m. 1t was re- ported that the volume in the river has increased to 10000 second feet, or by the old fashioned measurement, S00.- GOO inches. It was thought though that the crest of the flood was then pass lliS anu Aht NouIu bb lo That. it may be remarked. is a pretty good sized flood but the guage at the old suspension bridge only showed 21 feet, while the flood of a year ago raise the gauge 10 8 feet.
 At o'clock MT. Richins reported from the Verde gauging station that the Verde river was discharging 14.000 sec Ond feet or 56O.oOO inches. into the Salt. The Verde and upper Salt floods together aggregated I,36O.OO0 inches, but whether both floods have arranged to use the lower reaches of Salt river at the same time cannot be foretold. If the Verde falls before the flood from the upper Salt gets down it will help things materially, but if the Verde remained at its height until last even ing sometime. it may be predicted that 1t was a wet night lower down the stream. even for the ducks.

SALT RIVER FLOOD
 ALARMINGLY HIGH
Contractors at Roosevelt Ware We'll Prepared, and the Damage Will Be Confined to Loss of Little Time.

The rains of the past week and par
 ticularly those of the last two days
 have finally got in their work on old
 Salt river, which is again at flood tide
 The flood is not nearly so large as that
 of a year ago and 1t is believed the highest point has been reached and the
 tendency now is toward the safety of all interests. Nevertheless there was more water in the river yesterday than
 the most ardent irrigators could find
 beneficial use for, and soRe damage has doubtless been done at the Ari- ZOna head and some expensive delay OccasiOned at Roosevelt.
 Report by telephone from Roosevelt yesterday morning was that about F o'clock Sunday night the coffer dam above the big Roosevelt dam under construction gave up the fight of re- sistance against the increasing flood and its superstructure, which con- sisted Of the bOulders and gravel eX- cavated from the site of the big dam. went out. That, of course. resulted in the rapid filling of the hugh excava- ton below with water, rock. gravel, mud, etc, and the flood is still pouring down the natural channel, submerging the foundation of the big dam.
 Undesirable as this situation is it is not seriously embarrassing. The con- tractors are fully alive to the situation and have been expecting just such an occurrence for the last week Their work has been devoted To dressing up the construction as far as it has gone, so that it would suffer very little if any from submersion.
 It is believed that nothing that has been done in the way of construction can be materially injured by the water Sunday afternoon when the conditions indicated a probable rise, the cOntrac- tors began pulling their machinery and it is announced that almost everything was removed from the excavation and placed high and dry on the banks. the water is too high for other than mere guess. 1t is not believed the coffer dam proper can be material ly hurt. It stands some yards above the big rock dam and it's construction is sheet piling driven to bed rock and above the river bed to an altitude above normal river flow. Be- hind and on top of this structure was piled an enormous tonnage of boulders and debris taken out of the excavation for the big dam below. The big rock dam is now completed clear across the | river, on it's upper face, to an alti- tude only eight feet below the datum |

MARVELLOUS CURE BY
 CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us and some from larger places, but no one helped him 8 particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful: l used many kinds of patent medicines before trying the Cuticura Remedies all to no avail.
 "A friend teased me to try Cuticura At last I consented, when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time, and suffering untold misery. l began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies; the Cuticura Soap helped as well ss the Ointment. He was better in two months; in six months he WAS well; but gave him the Cuticura Resolvent one year, - using twelve bottles, l think, - and always used the Cuticura Soap for bathing, and do now good deal. He was four years old before he was well, and his skin became per fectly fair when cured. l give you per mission to publish this letter for I am always glad to do good when I can.

Chapter Of Accidents.

An exciting runaway accident occurred
on F street yesterday afternoon about the
time the department clerks were return.
ing home from their places of employment
and at a time when the thoroughfare Was
crowded. The horse was attached to q
buggy in which Henry Genther Of 14th
and U streets and Miss Annie Ruby were
seated. and fell at the intersection of 18th
and F streets. breaking the buggy shafts.
The accident caused the animal to become
frightened and run away.
The buggy came in contact with the
carriage of Surgeon General Rixey, which
was standing in front of 1907 r street, and
was overturned: Mr.. Gentner and Miss
Ruby were thrown from the vehicle, but
escaped injury. The buggy was badly
damaged and the cacrriage Of DR.. Rixsy
sustained slight damage.

identified colored boy last night landed

NO IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Changes Among the Diplomats Will
Await Presidents Return.

Diplomats who are awaiting with great
interest the prospective changes in the
American diplomatic service must wait
until after the Presidents return from
Panama and Porto Rico to have their curl
osity gratifed. as Secretary Root has an
nounced that the State Department will not
take any action during Mr. Roosevelts alb
sence.
Since the announcement OF the purpose to
appoint Mr.. Meyer to q cabinet position
and the selection of Lloyd Griscom, now
at Rio Janeiro. to fill Mr.. Meyers place at
st. Petersburg. there have been many pre-
dictions as to Mr.. Griscom's successor in
Rio Janeiro. Charles Page Bryan the min
lister to Portugal. who formerly served as
minister to Rio JaneirO, is frequently men,
toned as the most likely candidate for the
Brazilian post. 49,. ..s-,
1t is generally conceded that Minister
Barrett, now In this country, will not re-
turn to Bogota, and Leslie L. Combs, the
American minister to Guatemala and Hon
duras, Is mentioned for the Colombian post.
At the last session of Congress provision
was made for q secretary to the American
mission In Santo Domingo. No appoint
ment to this place has been made as yet
taryship to the American mission at La
PaZ Bolivia.
Many changes In the secretaryships at
European missions are also contemplated,
in accordance with Secretary Roots plan
to keep the secretaries moving, and. thus
give them an opportunity to study many
countries and prevent them from getting
into rut For the present, however, the
department will probably content itself
with selecting the new men whose appoint
ment must be approved by Congress. These
selections will probably be made before
Congress c0nvenes, and the transfer of men
already in the service will be decided upon
later.

MATTER OF LIVE FOWLS
PUBLIC HEARING TODAY AT THE
DISTRICT BUILDING.

In order that the District Commissioners
might be enlightened in the matter Of the
keeping Of live chickens and pigeons in the
back yards OF premises in the residential
sections of the District, with the view of
adopting proper regulations, public hear
ing was granted today.
Within the last month many complaints
have been received by the Commissioners
in regard to chickens and pigeons in back
yards, so the Commissioners decided to
frame regulation intended to cover the
matter.
In advance of the hearing Commissioner
Macfarland prepared a rough draft of a
regulation which he referred to the cor
poratton counsel. 1t provides
That within the District of Columbia no
person shall keep any kind of live fowl or
pigeons In any square having 20 per cent of
ITS territory improved without having first
obtained permit SO to do from the health
officer of said District. which permit shall
prescribe the conditions under which fowls
shall be kept, after the owner of the fowls
or pigeons has obtained the consent of the
residents within radius of one hundred
feet from the boundaries of the premises
upon which said fowls or pigeons are. to be
kept. Provided, that this regulation shall
not apply to fowls or pigeons confined in
coops In places Of business
Present at Hearing.
More than forty persons were present at
the hearing today and 1t was evident from
those who addressed the board that the
proposed regulations will be vigorously OPP
posed, upon the ground that it would be
too stringent and would have a tendency
to curtail their rights citizens and prop
erty owners. A number of others. how
ever, voiced their objections to the keep
Ing Of chickens and pigeons and approved
the proposed regulation.
Those who addressed the board were:
For the regulation-Dr. Dorsey Mcpherson,
o.. B. Lesner. F. B. Coville. w. H. Wanna
maker and Charles B. Swisf1er. Opposed TO
the regulation-Dr. Charles Allen, James 8.

.THEPRESIDENI'S VIEWS
REGARDING RESPON-
sIBILITY MADE By SEC. LOEB.

Some annoyance was recently given to
President Roosevelt by an American pro-
fessor in Berlin. who made an address in
which lie said certain things about the
Monroe doctrine and indirectly quoted the
President There Rave also been some
publications In the last few months repre-
senting the President as saying certain
things Without directly criticising any
body Secretary Loeb today gave out the
following statement:
"For many years it has been the invari-
able practice never to attempt to quote a
private conversation with the President. 1t
has been found that as matter of fact the
man who quotes such conversation usu
ally misquotes it, whether consciously or
unconsciously: and such alleged con-
versation is under no circumstances to be
held as calling for either explanation or de-
NAL by the President. The President is re-
sponsible only for what he himself says In
public for what he writes. or for what he
explicitly authorizes the proper government
officials to state in his behalf
