WHAT NIAGARA CAN STAND.
Power Companies Set Up That the Water
THEY'RE Taking Doesn't Hurt The Falls.

WASHINGTON, April l7.-The House Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors to-day con-
tinued its hearings on the Burton bill for
the preservation of Niagara Falls. Repre-
sentatives OF several OF the power COM
panies were heard in opposition to the
mea sure.
Frank A, Dudley OF the Niagara Electric
Transportation Company said that the
total flow over both falls was 265 900 cubic
feet a second and the total amount di-
yerted by all companies now i'll operation
was So, 800 cubic feet a second, or less than
one-hfth Of the total volume. He thought
fully 80 per cent. might be subtracted with
out appreciahle effect Upon the scenic
beauty Of the cataract.
He further said that in spite of the diver
sions there is more water going over the
falls than at any time in five years past
He thought Congress- should pass no hill
limiting the amount OF water diverted
until it should he definitely determined
Just how much subtraction would impair
the scenic beauty.
John L. Romer, representing the Niagara
Hydraulic Power Company, commended
that Congress had no power to take action
Its power, he said, was limited to authority
over the question of navigation. The
rights ot.hle company had been guaranteed
BY the State Of New York n Congress
had no power to interfere. Engineer
Matthews of the same company thought
that 80 l-3 per cent. OF the water going over
the falls might be diverted without having
an effect sppreciable to the eye OF a lay
man.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIVE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIVE CALI.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Discussed to-
day in excited whispers by the poll
ticians who heard it there came to the
surface news of a deal which, Il car
ried out, would change the whole COM
plexion of the campaign in this State.
This news was nothing less than that
leaders in the Republican and Demo-
cratic State machines had arrived at
an agreement by which the two old
parties were to conduct the governor
ship fight this fall on basis of mutual
hostility to Hearst and with his defeat
as the primary consideration-in short
that the Republican and Democrat ma
chimes, though ostensibly fighting one
another, were really to combine to
make impossible the election of Hearst
and the rest of the Independence
League ticket, but particularly Hearst
and the Hearst candidates for judicial
Offices.
A report so sensational as this would
not have been taken seriously by the
politicians If 1t had not rested upon a
pretty solid foundation and were not
borne out. besides, by circumstances
that were strongly confirmatory of it's
authenticity. 1t was noteworthy that
Democrats and Republicans who are
in the inner circles of their party pol
itics spoke of the rumored deal as
one which, II not already an accom-
pHshed fact, certainly was in a fair
way to become so.
When the Democratic State commit
tee met on last Wednesday and called
the Democratic State convention to be
held in Buffalo on September Is gen.
eral surprise was felt that so early a
day had been set. 1t was regarded as
a most unusual thing Tor the Democ-
racy, the out party, to hold its con-
vention first, when political precedent
was all the other way.
The explanation. 1T was said today
was in the agreement said to exist be-
tween the two machines to kill off
Hearst.

NO LOCK ON CELL
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GAIL.


PITTSBURG, Aug. 5.-That he spent
thirteen days in Tombs cell next to
Harry Thaw's is asserted by Paul H.
Mcdonald, who was arrested in New
York City on charge of embezzlement
at the request of the Pittsburg police
on July Is and brought back to this
city. Mcdonald knew. Thaw in this
city, and when the wealthy Pittsbure
prisoner saw one of his old-time friends
exercising in the Tombs he requested
that he be brought UP to his tier and
be placed in the cell next to his.
Mcdonald says luxury such as few
prisoners ever dreamed of is accorded
to the slayer of Stanford White A
costly Smyrna rug covers the cell floor.
Pictures and photographs adorn the
walls. A heavy curtain hides him from
the gaze of the curious visitors Thaw
spends $50 a day to be comfortable,
Mcdonald says.
Its wonderful the way he spends
his money" said Mcdonald Once I
saw him give an attendant the change
from a 500 bill after the cost of his
breakfast had been deducted. He has
his check book in the cell with him, and
as soon as anybody needs money Thaw
will send out and have a check GER
tilted.
$4,000. Several others for big sums
have been certified and sent by Harry.
Usually his mother caShes his checks
for him, and Harry distributes the
money in the same careless fashion he
showed when at liberty.
sOne of the keepers received dia-
mond stud valued at $1,000 for his at
tention to Harry. I tell you, the pock-
cts of others are bulging with tips
Thaw has scattered. But none of the
prisoners have come in for any bounty.
They are opposed to Thaw's profanity
and by a sort of tacit agreement they
keep away from him.
"The sinews of war are telling and
have broken down practically all the
barriers except the Tombs walls. His
cell is seldom locked, and when it is 1t is
because Thaw does not care to be dis
turbed. The attendants run to answer
his every call"
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Warden Flynn
of the Tombs laughed at Mcdonald s
story tonight. He said II was in every
respect untrue.
