TRlEBER'S DECISION United States District Court Judge Decides in Favor of
 Employers THE LIABILITY ACT Had Been Declared Illegal By Two Judges, But the Latest Decision
 is Favorable tO the LaW..Su-
 preme Court Will Review.
THE LIABILITY ACT

Washington, March 14.--Informa- tion has just been received by the interstate commerce commission of the decision of Judge Trieber, of the United States district court in the eastern district of Arkansas, sustain ing the constitutionality of the em- ployers' liability act, in the case of Henry Splain against the St Louis and San Francisco Railway Go. Judge Trieber agrees with Judge Hanford, in the western district of Washington, in holding that the en- actment was within the powers of congress.
 United States Judges Evans and Mccall recently have decided that the law was unconstitutional. The interstate commerce commission an- nounces that the president, through Attorney-General Bonaparte, has taken steps to have the decision of those judges reviewed by the su- preme court, and at the request of Attorney-General Bonaparte, who will argue for the constitutionality of the statute, the supreme court con- sented to advance the cases on the calendar, and they will be heard on April s.

Ten Year Record Broken.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 14.-Pittsburg IS experiencing one of its greatest floods. The record of ten years has already been passed and the rivers are still rising.
 If the rise continues at the present rate the record of 1884. when the wa ter reached the highest stage since lS45. will have been passed long be- lore nightfalL Tile stage in 1884 was B feet four inches.
 To-day at 10 o'clock the marks reg istered 32 feet with the water creep ing up at the rate of six inches an hour and still rising at all headwater points.
 Every tributary along the upper rivers is swollen and dispatches from all sections of western Pennsylvania report the smaller streams beyond their banks and the surrounding dis tricts submerged.
 Weather bureau officials predict 34 feet or over at Pittsburg.
 If this stage is reached, the food will not only be the greatest in sey- enty years but the most disastrous in the history of the city.

MAKE FAST TIME ON SKIES.
Remarkable Performance at Annual
 Norwegian Contest.

As a test of skill. strength and en- durance. it would be difficult to beat the long distance ski races in Nor way and Sweden. Of these contests the most severe is undoubtedly the Emile race over the mountains which opens the great annual Snow Derby" at Hoinenko!.en. about four miles from Christia1ia. In this race. which begins with a steep ascent of i0o to so0 feet. the sti-lobner has to jump ciefts and raviEes. to hop over fallen tree trunks. and overcome every kind of oLstacie that man can de- wise; to run down steep decifvities. and 10 make his devious way through mountain forests. until he reaches the goal. triumphant. but utterly exhaust ed Considering the srduous nature of these contests. some of the per formarces are remarkable Thus. the winner of a recent international speed competition held at Stockholm GOV cred the course of % miles at an aver age speed of eight and osehalf niles an hour.

ONONDAGA FLOATED.
Freight Steamer Which Has Been
 Ashore for Two Months.

Chatham. Mass, March 1.-The freight steamer Onondaga which has been ashore here since January l3 was f1oated to-day and proceeded for Boston in tow of the tug Underwater.
 The steamer. aided by favorable conditions of wind and sea moved tif- ty feet of shore yesterday and today four tugs, the Orion. Underwater. Storm King and Mercury completed the work. aided by the steamers own engines. As soon as the vessel was afioat she was taken in tow by the Underwriter for Boston. The condi- ton of the Onondaga is believed to be good although she has been ashore for two months.
 The Onondaga was driven ashore on Chatham beach during a heavy storm on January 13. She ,ras driven far up on the sand and succeeding gales left her so firmly embedded that it seemed almost impossible that she ever could be foated. Her cargo was partly ligbtered and partly thrown overheard and on every full tide tugs hauled at the steamer. Every time the steamer seemed to be on the way to freedom. q gale would spring up and the wind and sea would drive her far up on the beach again. On unusually high tides yesterday and today however. the persistent efforts were successful. The captain and crew of the onondaga have remained by the vessel during the entire time. The Onondaga was bound from Bos- ton for Charleston and Jacksonville with a miscellaneous cargo. She left Boston January r.. The steamer has a net tonnage of 2.155 and was com new having been built at in 1905. Her home port Is New York.

TURMOIL AGAIN
All Was Confusion When the Stock Market Opened This
 Morning
STOCKS UNLOADED

New York, March 14.-The stock
 market opened in turmoil of ex- citement again to-day and after mak- ing momentary stand against weak
 ness broke again quite generally. In- dividual stocks were unloaded at
 rapid declines indicating the contin- uapce of forced liquidation. The struggle between opposing forces at the opening was stimulated by the news from the London market. where 8 sharp rebound had occurred after a period of extreme nervousness aud the announcement of two failures. The supposition that the worst was thus disclosed at that center prompt ed some aggressive support at the opening here and a number of lead Ing stocks started one to two points higher than last night Reading made two points advance, Louis- ville & Nashville 5-8, and a num- Der of the Pacifics and trunk lines a point or more. Fluctuations were very feverish and violent for a time and the trend of the market was not clearly perceptible until Union Paci- fic plunged BE below yesterdays closing. Amalgamated Copper fell 3A points, Great Northern pfd 3%. Locomotive and SlOes Sheffeld Steel S1s, Deleware & Hudson 5A, Allan tic Coast Line and Sugar 3, Pressed Steel Car 5, Northern Pacific 2A, and many active stocks one to two points.
 The stocks which had opened higher were swept to lower level with the general list. U. s. Stell was liquidated in enormous volume.
 The renewed slump gave rise to renewed uneasiness over the conse- quences of the continued melting away of prices.
 On the other hand it was a mat ter for consideration that the bank of England had refrained from ad- vancing its discount rate in spite of the continued fall in the sterling ex- change rate at New York. The ad- vance in the discount rate in London to above the bank rate indicated the continued pressure on that money market, which is believed to be large ly responsible for the pressure of the liquidation in the New York market. Advices from the interior also showed large withdrawals of money from New York. It was reported also that interior banks were sealing down credits extended to New York stock market borrowers. :.
 Supporting measures became effect i've again during the course of the first hour and some sharp recoveries followed.
