in many places. This completely tied
up transportation facilities between
Seattle and Tacoma.
The Northern Pacific railroad has
given up attempting to run any trains
except those to Portland. 1t is able
to maintain this latter service, but for
how long this will continue is not
known, as one or two short messages
from the southwest state that the
waters have broken telephone and
telegraphic communication southwest
of Olympia.
Advices from the Office OF the chief
dispatcher of the Northern Pacific
state that the water in Green canyon
is two feet higher than during the
floods of 1908, when the railroad was
tied up for two weeks. Innumerable
washouts are reported from all parts
of the country and as far as can be
ascertained at least four bridges have
gone lown-one at Buckley, one at
Hot Springs. another at Lester and
the fourth across the Stuck river near
Auburn.
Despite all efforts to get into com
munication, what has occurred east of
Auburn and west Of the slopes of the
Cascades can only be conjectured.
That great damage has been done
is plainly evident. from the fact that
the streams are bringing down lumber,
piling, houses, live stock and house,
hold goods. All wires between Hot
Springs and Auburn are down and what
damage the flood has done in that
section of the country will not be
known for a couple of days.
Every railroad in the northwest Is
tied up and though a few trains are
being run no attempt Is being made at
a schedule. Tracks of the Milwaukee
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
have been washed away in places, but
it is hoped to have the damage repaired
in a few days.
One of the difficulties apart from the
washouts are the numerous landslides
which have fallen across the tracks
preventing passage.
The Northern Pacific made an at
tempt to reach Summit Junction but
failed. A third train was run from
Seattle to Auburn this afternoon, bui
since then 1t Is reported that 800 feet
OF track has been washed away.

UNIFORM DIVORCE
BILL IS ADOPTED

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Ia.
The National congress on
uniform divorce laws ended
its work here today, after hav-
ing adopted, with few changes,
the entire uniform divorce bill
as originally drafted by the
committee appointed at the
meetings held in Washington
last year.
The meeting was closed by
Bishop Doane Of Albany, who
said the congress should be set
Alright before the public be-
cause the people might get the
idea that all causes approved
by the congress should exist in
every state. He explained that
the congress merely drafted
law containing the principal
causes recognized in a majority
of states. These causes he
hoped to see decreased.
The most radical action
which the congress was asked
to take, but which was defeat
ed, was the incorporation of a
provision requiring judges to
turn over evidence in suits to
the prosecuting attorney for
action against the party to the
divorce for the crime or offense
in which the decree was
granted.
The committee which draft
ed the original bill will remain
in existence and use its efforts
to have the bill passed by the
various state law makers.

RELIEF FUNDS
CO TO GRAF TIERS
SAN FRANCISCO SHARKS ARE
ACCUSED
Mayor Schmitz Said to Have Received
Large Sums Which Never
Reached the Proper
Committees
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.-The
Chronicle says today:
A new investigation is progressing in
the course of developments in the local
graft scandal. IT now appears that
many sums of money, both large and
small, thai were sent from different
states to San Francisco for the relief
of the sufferers from the April Gala
nifty never reached the relief commit
tee.
Some of these amounts, which aggre-
gate large sum, were mailed to the
care of Mayor Schmitz,
F. j. Heney, Detective Burns and
over 100 government agents have been
making an investigation.
President Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry and he de-
clares that no man guilty of diverting
the relief funds shall escape justice.
The cases come within the jurisdic-
tion of the federal authorities because
| of the interstate character of the pos
tai service which. 1t is alleged, was
| criminally tampered with.
A considerable sum of money was
also sent through the express COM
panies and WellsFargo & Co. is now
| investigating the disappearance OF
$1085 sent in one package from the
citizens of Searchlight New, which the
relief committee say they never re-
ceived and which the company say was
delivered to the representative of the
committee to whom it was addressed.
\ The crime of forgery is said to be i'll
cluded in the offense of the raiders OF
the relief contributions.
1t is stated that in the aggregate tho
stealings from this source will amount
! to 81 ,000, ,000

DISCOVERS A NEW
COUNTERFEIT BILL
Ry Assoclated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-the United
States secret service announces the dis
covery OF new counterfeit $40 "Buf-
falo" note.
This counterfeit is apparently a
photo-lithographi production printed
on two pieces of paper with silk fiber
distributed between them.
The face of the note is grayish black.
The numbering. seal and large Y are
OF good color and workmanship.
The check letter and plate number do
not appear in the lower right hand
corner. The back of the note is dark
blush green.
BY itself this counterfeit is apt TO de-
ceive, but when handled with genuine
notes the marked difference In the color
of the back should lead to it's imme-
diate detection.

j. Gould, March 4, 1895. the late Arch
bishop Corrigan officiating.
Miss Gould's dowry was understood
tc have been $1s,0O0,0OO. and it was
further stated that her income was
sS00,000 a year. Immediately after the
marriage the couple left the United
States for France, where the eXtrava-
giant manner in which they lived at
tracted considerable attention. About
five years after the marriage the Count
and Countess de Castellane were re-
ported to be financially embarrassed, it
being alleged that the count had al
ready spent about $4,000 900 of his wlfe's
money. An adjustment of the affairs
Of the count and countess became
necessary, and considerable litigation
followed. with the result that the Gould
family interviewed and the income of the
countess was cut down to 100000.
On February of the present year
the Countess de Castellane entered a
plea for divorce, the hearing of which
began before Judge Ditte. Maitre Cruppi
appearing for the countess and Maitre
Bonnet for the count Evidence in the
shape of correspondence between the
count and women was presented, and
the case was adjourned to November Z,
when the final pleas were made and the
suit adjourned until November IA.
On the following day, November s,
the case of the counts creditors was
presented to the court and adjourned
for two weeks.
The three children of the Castellanes
are George, Boni and Jay, the youngest
being the namesake of his mothers s
father, the late Jay Gould. t4-
Madame Gould, as the former
Countess de Castellane will hereafter be
known, her title having ceased with the
granting of the divorce expressed the
greatest satisfaction when she received
the news at her residence on Avenue
Malakoff. Miss Helen Gould. who will
remain here until after Christmas. was
with her at the time. Madame Gould
has no intention of leaving Paris.
Although the court denied the
counts application for an annuity
there is the best ground for the state
ment that Madame Gould will make a
liberal allowance to the father of her
children. Further, it is again stated
that so far as the creditors are con-
cerned, the countess will settle all the
legitimate bills for household expenses,
but she will continue to resist to the
utmost the payment of money owed to
usurers under whatever disguise and
borrowed by the count for his own pur-
poses and without her consent.

MIR. Parsons said last night that sew
eral voluntary signatures were received
yesterday and that the sentiment in
favor of the exposition was growing
stronger each day. Mr.. Parsons con-
tinued:
Each passing hour widens the scope
Of the worlds fair project, and even l.,
who have been studying the matter for
months, discover something new to add
to the wondrous, gigantic proposition.
For instance, there is San Pedro harbor
where the war and water craft of the
world could be displayed; where naval
battles of history could be reproduced,
and where the down-to-date maneu-
vers could be explained in this great
emphitheater of the Pacific coast.
San Pedro may, and probably will,
be part of a Greater Los Angeles by
1915, and with the climate we enjoy
here there is nothing to prevent the
worlds fair from being conducted from
May to May. This would enable the
workingmen of the world to lay their
I plans to devote a week or a month at
the fair where all the world, in all its
development, would be at their feet. Los
Angeles as a city is a trinity in its
attractions. First, there is the sea,
next the mountains, either to be reached
| in a few minutes ride, and last of all
| there is the metropolitan city or Los
Angeles. which in many ways is more
cosmopolitan than most of the cities
of the east.

'That is business, and it means sue
cess" declared Mr.. Story in an en-
phatic manner.
This is the greatest project that has
ever been brought before the chamber
of commerce. said VIM. d. stephens,
one of the members of the board of
directors of the chamber, land If carried
to a successful conclusion it will mean
q great deal to Los Angeles and the
entire state of California. BY reason of
the fact, however, that it is a project
of great magnitude. it is well that the
chamber of commerce give it careful
consideration before this body places
upon it the seal of it's approval. We
have a committee OH expositions. to
which, ! think, the subject should be
referred and which will give it careful
consideration, and l move that this be
DONE"
The motion was carried and the hear
ing terminated. Afterward those in
terested in the project, practically all
of whom are members of the chamber
of commerce, expressed themselves as
gratified with the progress which has
been made and confident of the ulti-
mate success of the undertaking.

aroused by the action of certain man
who is deliberately attempting to at
tract the attention of every woman
possible in Rock Island.
The situation is somewhat peculiar,
and thus far nothing has been done in
the matter by any interested party for
the reason that while it is very evil
dent that he is anxious to meet rs
many as possible, still the man does
nothing that can be construed to
mean anything at all disrespectful

within the next few days something
more definite will be known. In the

the case is being closely watched and
