ACQUIT SOLDIERS
DRURY AND DOwD FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Court, However, Ruled That Army Reg ulatlOns should Not Count eIn the Matter and Point
 Undecided.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 31-Lieut. Ralph W. Drury and Private John Dowd of the 9th United States Infantry, who have been on trial in criminal court all week charged with the killing or William Fl. Crowley, a citizen of Lawrenceville, September 10. 1903. were both acquitted today. the jury bringing in a verdict of not guilty when the court opened, hav- ing been out all night.
 Crowley was shot while escaping from the arsenal grounds, from where 1t was alleged he was stealing copper from the roofs of the govern ment buildings. The verdict cites the extent to which a citizen of PennsyI- vania may so in his efforts to prevent the escape of a feIon. whom he had caught in the act of committing a fel- ony. but does not decide the question of what is the duty of a soldier of the United States under similar circum- stances.
 This Is the question the government wanted to have decided. but Judge o. Connor. in his charge yesterday, made 1t plain that the order a soldier had received. or the regulations of the Unit ed States Army had nothing to do with the present case. He said that it was the duty of a citizen of Pennsylvania, punishable by hnc and Imprisonment if he did not do It. to stop and arrest a man caught in the act of committing a felony even If he had to break down doors or inflict an injury on the felon in order to accomplish this arrest.
 The case had aroused much interest fin civil and military crcles through out the country because of the import ant questions involved.
 Lieutenant Drury and Private Dowd were at once, released from custody.

New York, Jan. s1.-The grand jury today returned an indictment against the se-Dalied theatrleaI trKfzt fsin s rn1lh1fsrncv and x4RftNI I}14 fnfk llaRS1fs
 Abrahaffi EriankeF and Mare Kiaw appeared in court and were admitted to baiI in s1.000 each.
 Pleading to the indictments was put over for one week. Samuel F. Nixon and J. Fred Zimmerman are said to be In Philadelphia.
 The indictment is against Nixon & Zimmerman, Klaw & ErlanBer, Charles Frohman and Al Hayman. who are als handed up to Judge Foster in the Court of General Sessions today.

WATER IS ALREADY OVERLAPPING
 LEVEEs.
AEissISsippi Begins To Soak Through The Sand Bag PPOtectIOn--NOrthern Visitors Interested in The
 Flood

New Orleans, Jan. s1-The approach ing flood situation here was aggravated today by the announcement of the local Weather Bureau that a stage of twen- ty feet will be reached at New Orleans. owing to rains of the past two days over the Mississippi Valley.
 Nineteen feet has been generally pre- dicted stage. he guage today read 1S.2 with the water which has reached the top of low section of the. levees in the downtown district at Canal street, beginning to wash the sand bags which have been piled on the side.
 The swollen river was an obpect of interest to hundreds of Northern vis- itors. who crowd New Orleans at this time of the year. Even if twenty feet is reached, the water will be a foot un. der previous rises.

 In concluding MT. Rayner said:

 senator Lodges Repiy.
 Senator Lodge replied briefly to Mir Rayner, making especial reference to the Maryland Senator's allusion to himself as the possible biographer of the president and saying he had no doubt that Mr. Rayner and his asso- ciates would be pleased to meet the presidents biographer. Mir. Lodge declared his belief in the necessity for a proper separation of the duties of the different branches of the govern ment.
 Mir Rayner interrupted to say that he would much rather read the presi- dents autobiography than Mir. Lodges biography of him.
 Mir. Lodge declared that nothing the president had ever said had gone so far towards advocating a revolution of our present governmental system as had Mir. Bryan's declaration for tho government ownership of railroads.
 In reply to Mir. Lodge, Senator Car mack said that while Mir. Bryan had expressed the opinion that if govern fnent regulation should fall, govern ment ownership ought to come, the president had said that if government regulation should fail. government ownership would have to come. Hence he concluded that there was no sub stantial difference between the presi- dent and Mir. Bryan on the subject of government ownership.
 Senator Lodge said he did not intend to enter into any defense of the Pres- tdent. nor was one necessary, for he had rarely heard q higher tribute to that ofiaciai than Mir. Rayner's com. nlents.
 He said he shared Mr. Raxner.s views thet the executive should not in terfare with the legislative branch of the government. He went a little fur thsr. His view was that the legis- lative ought not 10 interfere with the executive. A treaty on that subject was pending before the Senate. land Senators who incline to mix politics with our foreign relations can perhaps explain better than I, why that treaty remains unacted upon." he said.
 As to the Tucker case, MT. Lodge said the President had been condemned by Mir. Rayfer for refusing to inter- fere, while with reference to the rate bill. MT. Lodge said that because the Republican Party united to pass that bill ,and consulted the F@esident as to its terms, the Democratic Party had never recovered from it. No policy which the President had ever suggested. concluded Mir. Lodge, had ever gone as far as the announcement by the Dem ocratic leader for our government own ership of railroads. That strikes at the very foundation of State and National government"

Washington, Jan. 31.-(Special.)- )-- The absorbing talk about the Capitol today was the story from the White House that in pursuance of his deter imitation to appoint negroes to import ant offices in Northern States the Pres ident had selected Ralph Tyler, a ne- gro, for the post of Surveyor of Gus toms at Cincinnati.
 Senator Foraker was early sought for his views on the prospective ap- pointment. The Senator laughed good naturedly when the question was put to him. He replied. well, as neither Senator Dick nor I have heard any thing of the appointment, you had bet ter consult the other Senator from Ohio"

SITUATION AT HoLLYBUsH.
Northern End of Town Abandoned by
 its Residents.

Memphis, Ten. Jan. 31.-A report from HolIybush, fifteen miles north of Memphis, states that the levee at that point appears to be sipking and grave Apprehension Is felt. Should a crew asse occur there nearly every railroad on the west side of the river will suf- fer materially.
 A steady rain fell here throughout the early morning and levee engineers say that the structures may be weak ened.
 The river gauge at Memphis today registered thirty-nine feet.
 A dispatch from Helena says that the flood situation there Is beginning to be serious. The elevators stand in a foot of water and the North Helena protection levee has given way, food ing the entire northern section of the city. Hundreds of people have moved to the southern portion of the town.
 The towns of Glendale, Trotters Point and Eagle, across the river from Helena. are all under water
 Many workmen are strengthening the levees at various points.
