Senator Lodge smiled broadly and blandly
when he left the White House today. He
had been talking with the President for
half an hour on the Brownsville affair in
the Senate, and had informed the chief
executive as to the parliamentary status of
the whole thing The talk must have been
satisfactory to the chief executive and his
close personal friend, for it is rare that
Senator Lodge, dignified and grave that
he is, ever has SO broad a smile on his good
looking face. He carefully concealed the
reasons for his inward mirth, though re-
marking that so far as he could ascertain
the modified Foraker resolution was per-
fectly satisfactory to everybody. The Pres
ident could have no objection to it; Senator
Lodge himself was well pleased and Sena-
tor Foraker tickled to death. But
about the Blackburn amendments" Senator
Lodge was asked, and it was then that the
smile on his face grew broader, but he
had nothing to say.

SAVAGE BLOW FATAL.
Italian Found Dead With Head Split
Open.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January ia blow from a
cleaver that split open his head ended the
life of Salvatore Canale, shoemaker, of
No. 226 East 9th street, whose body was
found early today in front of the Italian
grocery store at No. All East 106th street
On his right hand there was a deep cash
that the men of Detective Sergeant Petro-
sino's Italian squad say is a mark left to
tell that the Black Hand Society did the
work.
Close by the mans body was found the
cleaver Beside 1t, as If paced there as
grim joke, was the victims own pearl
handled stiletto. 1t was identified by the
dead mans brother as Salvatore's property
Evident he had no chance to use it, for 1t
was unstained. In the gutter were two
other stilettos, business-like weapons, with
long, razor-sharp blades and cheap wood
handles.
The body was still warm when it was
found, just before dawn today, by Mar
cangelo Laparello, a milk man. The VIC
TINS identification was brought about by
a card in his pocket, showing that he was
a member of the ForeSterS' Lodge, No. 446,
known as the Court Corleone. Detective
Sergeant Cassidy of headquarters and De-
tective Hart of the East 104th street sta
ton found his wife so i'll that they feared
to tell her of his death.
To their inquiries she said her husband
had left home at o'clock last night to
go to a meeting OF the lodge She said he
never told her anything of his affairs and
that as far as she knew he received no
black hand letters He had no money, she
said and had been out of work TOR some
weeks.
The dead man was a Sicilian. His broth
err Leoluca Canaie, of 242 East 109th street,
and several other Sicilians were brought to
the station to view the body. At the sight
of the wound on the right hand they be-
came frenZed. The brothers cries We're
so violent that he was led into the cap
tains office and quieted with difficulty.
They said they knew nothing of any plot.
In the past four months there have been

RIVERS STILL RISING
PITTSBURG THINKS WATER
WILL NOT PASS DANGER STAGE.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 19-After
falling slowly during the night the rivers
again started to rise at 8 o'clock this
morning, and Pittsburgs danger from a
flood is not yet over.
According to the reports received by the
weather bureau today both the Monongahela
and Allegheny rivers are falling at head
waters but some of the tributaries are
putting out large volumes of water. River
men, however, do not expect the stage at
this point to pass the danger line. All the
places flooded yesterday still inundated
today, and many are preparing for the sec
ond flood.
Springdale Threatened.
Springdale is threatened with another
food. Rain began falling in torrents about
2:3O o'clock this morning, and over the
Kiskiminetas valley, almost assumed the
form of a cloudburst.
In a very short time there had fallen
nearly an inch of rain which has had the
effect of causing the various runs and
creeks to overflow their banks. AS the
water from these streams empty into the
Allegheny. that river is again rapidly ris-
ing in the vicinity of Springdale.
Should this rise continue throughout the
day it is pred; cted that not only VIII the
o
away, but that a number of houses will
also be carried off by the flood, as it is
feared the break made in the government
dam by the dynamite set off during the
last forty-eight hours is not large enough
to care for the immense amount of water
expected.
Imediately upon being made acquainted
with the threatened danger the officials OF
the United States engineers office here
took all possible precaution to minimize
damage from the new flood. should it come.
Cloudburst in Ohio.
EAST LIVERPOOL. Ohio, January 10
AS a result of cloudburst, accompanied
by terrific thunder Storm, early today
thousands of dollars worth of property was
destroyed in this city and vicinity.
A large portion of Big hill. near the east
end, rolled down on the street railway, and
it will be hours before the way can be
cleared. The building of the sanitary re-
duction company was destroyed, the founda-
ton falling in. Many streets in the city
were torn up Sheridan avenue is ruined
and the lowlands of both East Liverpool
and Wellsville are flooded, and several mar
row escapes from drowning are reported.
The pottery manufactures on the river
banks are preparing to move. Train serv-
ice is crippled, and indications are that
the city will be cut off from outside COM
munication by night.
