in Forty five Minutes.


Keokuk, Ia. Feb. 1.-THE Mississippi
was completely gorged Saturday with
ice and yesterday afternoon went on
rampage and backed up, raising itself
ten feet in forty-five minutes, and
forced the gates of the lock open and
flooded the lower level of the canal to o
depth Of about three feet.
The river presented beautiful APP
pearance, being sheet of white ice,
in some places fairly smooth but in
most places piles of jagged ice several
feet high were seen all the way across.
The water is within about three feet
of the top of the crib under the
bridge, for the water rose yesterday af-
ternoon in forty-five minutes to the
depth Of IA feet, and this morning fell
only inches in the river, but more
than this in the canal.

the bill he has just introduced, which
is intended to place the manufacturers
of liquor in Iowa on q par with those
in other states. "At present" says the
senator, "a brewer in keokuk flnds
that he cannot, under the Iowa law,
ship his goods into a county not oper-
ating under the mulct law. unless he
has his own agent in that county. But
dealer just across the river, making
an interstate shipment, has no trouble
advantage of the discrimination we
make against the Iowa man. see no
reason why we should continue this
discrimination. 1t does not contem-
plate the addition of single place
where liquors are to be made in Iowa.
1t is probable that the Iowa general
assembly will memoralize the Iowa
delegation at Washington to give sup
port to a bill which has been favorably
reported there to promote the safety of
employees and travellers upon the rail-
roads and limiting the hours of service
of employees. There is strong senti-
ment among members in favor of this
measure. A memorial is being consid-
cred.
A fair sample of the flood of petitions
coming to the members relating to rail-
road questions was the following which
was adopted as resolution by the Ida
County Meat Producers association,
and at the request of Senator Bleakley
was read in the senate on Monday:
Resolved, that the delays in trans
porting livestock over the railroads to
the livestock markets, and the slowness
of the trains carrying livestock, are oc-
casions of great loss to the shippers,
and should be Immediately remedied;
therefore, We ask our state and the in
terstate commerce commissioners to
compel the railroads to operate trains
carrying livestock at, at least, the same
rate of speed and with the same con-
sideration for delivering them at their
destination as they now transport cars
laden with dressed meats.
Resolved, that our railroad commits
sioners request the railroads operating
ger rate of 2 cents per mile should not
prevail in the state and failing to
comply with such request within rea-
sonable time. or failing to convince the
commissioners that reasonably good
service cannot be maintained at such
rate, the commission be requested to
recommend the passage of law in
this state reducing the passenger rate
within the state to 2 cents per mile"

PLOT ID POISON HER SAYS MRS. GOULD Mail Tampered With, She Tells

 aration Case.
THE DEPARTMENT PROBES

New York, May 25.-The investigation into the police department. started by charges that detectives had been used in the Gould separation case, developed to- day Into allegations by Mrs. Howard Gould, that she had received anonymous letters which she claimed disclosed a plot to poison her. It Is thought Mrs. Gould told MT. Bingham of the alleged plot and of the letter which Is declared by the police to be that of an illiterate person. Mrs. Gould on Monday it is expected, will make formal complaint to the federal authorities that her mail has been tam pered with.
 An investigation of the postoffice de- partment of the charges made by Mrs. Howard Gould, who Is seeking a separa- ton from her husband, the mall was tam pered with for a month, will be made Mrs. Gould furnishes the department with the letter which she informed Police Com- missioner Bingham yesterday afternoon had been apparently opened and tracings made of the addresses.
 Mrs. Gould is quoted as saying to Com missioner Bingham that last summer she
 
 been tempered with and that tracings had been made of the addresses. A friend of Mrs. Gould. who was present ~hen Mrs. Gould made her statements to Con- missioner Bingham, said:
 Whether Mrs. Gould was in town or not, it made no difference-her mail was tempered with. She discovered since that many a letter sent to her never reached her hands. Tracngs were made of ad- dresses and she saw the blur of the trac- ing paper, where an attempt had been made to take an impression of the writ ing of the sender by means of copying paper"
 Postoffice department officials stated to- day that they had no offiical knowledge of the charges made by Mrs. Gould, and the affairs of MT. and Mrs. Gould were of a. civil character, they would take To action in the matter unless Mrs. Gould produced the letters and made formal complaint. Inspector Mayer, in charge of the New York postol distri;1, said today:
 If Mir Gould will furnish us the let ters we will make an investigation as in former cases. The departmen. takes no cogmzance of charges made that mall was tempered with in civil cases unless the charges are brought officially to our attention. No application has been made for tracings of the addresses on Mrs. Gould's mail either in this city or at Sands Point. If her mall has been tam pered with we can tell 1t in an instant if she brings us the envelopes"

Calhoun Attacks spreckIes.

Patrick Calhoun, late last night, issued a lengthy statement addressed to the American, in which he says the returning of indictments against himself and asso- ciates is another step in the programme to gain political control of this city by Rudolph Spreckles and others for selfish support with the labor union party.
 MT. Calhoun says:
 ''The evidence is now complete that self confessed criminals have been retained in the board of supervisors to do the bidding of Spreckles and his followers. In the lan- guage of one of the prosecutors, they are merely good dogs Their evidence has been purchased and their services secured through immunity contracts.
 T charge that the motives of MT. Spreckles and his associates are base and malicious, that his plans are selfish and injurious to the welfare of this commun- ity that they seek through the assassina- tion of character to injure the United Railroads and further their own financial plans, and that inspired strikes, violence, destruction of property, boycotts and these indictments are each a part of Spreckels plans to confiscate the prop erty of the United Railroads to replace our street railroads by lines owned by Spreckels, and to that end to control the politics of San Francisco. would be surprised that any body of American cit izens could be induced to find these in- dictments If I did not know the methods which have been pursued by Spreckles' corps of hired detectives and his con stant access to the members of the grand jury. who have been misled by his pYofea- sions of virtue.
 ''To my friends throughout the country I give the assurance that these indict- ments are not founded upon facts. and that there is no evidence that could jus tify them, and that my associates and will be fully vindicated."
