TWo.THIRDs OF CROPS IN
CALLATIN VALLEY DESTROYED

SALT LAKE CITY, June 5.-A tele-
phone message received tonight from
Butte, Mont, gives gloomy picture OF
the flood situation in central ana
southern Montana. No trains, no tele-
graph wires, no electric lights, no
street car service and continually fall
ing rain is the substance of the report.
Residences and offices tonight ate
lighted by candles. Three feet OF wa
ter in the lower part of the city has
forced the furnaces of the Butte re-
duction works to draw their fires. The
rail line to Anaconda is out of COM
mission.
Since o'clock tonight the sole tele-
graph wire available during the day
has been down, and the only connect
ing link with the outside world is the
copper thread of the telephone COM
pany. For a few minutes this after
noon telephone communication was
opened to Helena. 1t was then report
ed that thousands of dollars worth of
damage had been occasioned in that
immediate vicinity the last twenty
four hours. In the Gallatin valley two
thirds of the crops, 1t is declared, are
ruined. The East Helena smelter
stands in water three feet deep end
has been forced to suspend operations.
Railroad traffic Is at a standstill.
Interruption of all forms of comnlu-
nication has prevented the situation
at all other Montana points from being
learned.

HITCHCOCK IN TOMBS;
NOT ALLOWED BAIL
GIRLS ACCUSE COMEDIAN OF
MISCONDUCT
Case ls Suddenly Adjourned and Actor
Must Stay In Prison Until Mon-
day--Attorney Asks
Delay

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 5-Raymond
Hitchcock, the comedian, was COM
mitted to the Tombs prison without
bail this afternoon, when his trial on
charges preferred by little girls which
began today was suddenly adjourned
until next Monday.
The adjournment came when Hitch
cocks counsel conferred privately with
Justice Goff Immediately after the
first juror had been selected.
At the conclusion of the conference
Justice Goff announced that in view of
what the attorney had told him he
would adjourn the case until next
Monday, and in the meantime Hitch
cock would be remanded to the TombS
prison without bail.
Hitchcock's counsel, Mr.. Steuer, said
he asked for adjournment because he
had just been retained by Hitchcock
and was not familiar with the case.
He said that Justice GoH committed
Hitchcock without any suggestion from
him or the assistant district attorney.
At a previous trial on a similar
charge the case against the actor fell
fiat when one of the complainants,
Flora Winston, on the witness stand
declared that under the influence of an
agent of the Society for the Preven-
tlOn or cruelty TO ChllQren Sne ned
perjured herself before the grand jury
that indicted Hitchcock.
The complainant in the case called
today is Helen Won Hagg, and the al
legations sworn to by Flora Winston
and Elsie Voecks, the other alleged
victim, are expected to figure in the
trial.
The trial of Flora Winston on q
charge of perjury will be begun imme-
diately after the conclusion of the
Hitchcock trial.

TORNADO IN NEBRASKA
is CAUSE OF TWO DEATHS

GENEVA, Neb., June 5.-A tornado
which passed near Geneva late this
evening caused two deaths, fatally in
juring two persons and destroying sew
eral thousand dollars worth of prop
erty. One mile west of Geneva the
farm house of John H. Shively was
struck and demolished. Mr.. Shively's
little 4-year-old daughter and a young
woman named Smith, employed in the
family, were instantly killed; Mrs
Shively was injured so badly that she
can survive but a few hours, and a
farm hand named Russell was probably
fatally hurt, while Mr.. Shively and a
young son sustained serious injuries.
The storm wrecked number of other
buildings in the vicinity, including the
engine house of the industrial school
for girls. Several other persons are re-
ported injured, but none fatally.

ONCE RAILROAD PRESIDENT
NOW ASKS ADMITTANCE
TO COUNTY P00RHOUSE

CHICAGO, June 5.--A dispatch to
the Tribune from Milwaukee, Wis,
says: G. ]. L. Meyer, first presi-
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad, former mayor of Fond du Lac,
at one time a business partner of the
late Senator Sawyer in the wholesale
lumber business, a former millionaire
and prominent politician and now a
resident of Chicago, yesterday applied
to Agent Gustav Frellson of the Asso-
ciated Charities for admission to the
Milwaukee county poorhouse.
Two daughters, both married to
wealthy men, fail to reply to his re-
quests for aid. it is said, and a son
who lives in Chicago is too poor to
care for his father.
By his removal to Chicago two years
ago Mr.. Meyer has forfeited his right
to admission to the Milwaukee county
poorhouse, but Mr.. Frellson will make
an appeal in his behalf to his wealthy
sons-in-law.
Mr.. Meyer refused money aid. He is
"a years old and was once prominent
in the councils of the Republican par
ty, having twice been delegate at
large to national conventions.

DREYFUS SHOOTING
OPENS OLD WOUNDS
Incendiary Publication Says 1t Wants
Twelve Bullets of Execution
Squad, Not Six of
Revolver
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, June 5.-Whether yesterday 8
attempt on the life of Major Alfred
Dreyfus was but the individual act OF
a man who believed himself to have
been an outraged patriot or had behind
it an incipient national plot, the Re-
publican press is unanimous in deplor-
ing the incident, and believes 1t In
jured rather than aided that cause
Even those papers which doubted the
wisdom of burying Emile Zola in the
Pantheon think that the shooting of
Major Dreyfus consolidated the Re-
publican sentiment and they evidently
desire to see the incident die out as
quickly as possible. In an attempt to
reopen the old Dreyfus issue at the
trial of Louis Gregoris, the man who
shot the major, they point out, would
be plainly extraneous.
On the other hand, the fury of the
Nationalist papers is unbounded.
L'Action Franchise fires broadside
which recalls the most exciting days
of Dreyfus and Boulanger. At the
head of it's column this paper prints a
statement of Charles Maurras which
it is likely the authorities will investi-
gate. In this article the writer says
that on Wednesday night "a resolute
patriot" visited M. Daudet and Lieu
tenant Boisf1eury and himself offered
TO XIII DreyIuS, put Ills pIopoodl Weeo
rejected. A leading editorial in this
paper appeals to the country to turn to
the duke of Orleans for redress and
concludes with these words:
do you desire that Zola's body be
elected from the Pantheon? Do you
desire to march Dreyfus to the execu-
ton block? If so, invoke your king"
The decision of the court of cassa-
tion to cut off the time for an appeal,
the paper says, is illegal, and it con-
cludes its article as follows
"What we ask for Dreyfus is not
six balls from revolver but the
twelve bullets of the execution squad"
Other newspapers declare that Gre
goris, much grieved at the recent
death of his mother, has lately mani
tested signs Of mental derrangement.
Gregoris' sister said today that her
brother latterly had displayed symp
toms of melancholia. The authorities
are pursuing their investigation with
a view of ascertaining whether there
was plot behind the shooting of yes
terday. The bullet in Major Dreyfus
wrist has not been located. The bulle-
tin issued today by the doctors says
Dreyfus' condition is satisfactory.
