ance, which has under consideration
proposed changes in the administrative
features of the tariff law, today COM
pleted its preliminary work in Wash
ington and adjourned to meet in New

Coolidge and Chief Montgomery of the
customs division of the treasury depart
ment were again before the committee
today. Their testimony was composed
largely of suggestions for technical con-
ditions in the machinery of the tariff
law.
Mr.. Montgomery went through the
Dingley law section by section and
pointed out the various respects in
which it fails to operate properly. He
also named a number of statutes which
have become obsolete, and the repeal
which he suggested is in the interest
of simplicity.
Senator Burrows will go to New York

the board of general appraisers.

In the breaking of the big dam six miles
from Augusta which diverts the water
from the Savannah river into the canal
at that point. The great flood of water
let loose soon found it's way to the city
and tonight from Fifteenth street TO the
east boundary Augusta is under from six
to fifteen feet of water, which is gradu-
ally rising.
The big bridge across the Savannah riv-
er went down in the rush of waters,
and the dam at the locks seven miles
above the city collapsed, adding to the
flood
The Associated Press correspondent at
Augusta telephoned a report of three
deaths-two white persons and one ne
gro-but could not give any names.
The current through the city streets is
swift, but not strong enough to more than
carry away boxes, store boxes and loose
signs.
warned last night that there was danger
of the dam breaking, there will be con-
siderable loss in business houses OF all
kinds. Estimates at midnight place the
financial loss close 10 the half-million
mark.
There were several fires reported. but,
as the fires are in outlying districts, the
extent of the damage cannot be learned.
1t is said that the Nixon & Danforth
cotton warehouse was destroyed by fire,
together with the Nixon wholesale gro
Gerry warehouse.
A fire was also reported in the Geor-
gia Railway shops.
Despite the fact that the water stands
six feet in the residence district OF the
city, and is deeper in other portions, there
has been no indication that the people are
suffering beyond being marooned in the
upper stories of their dwellings,.

REFUSE TO RACE
BEFORE HUGHES
Horse Owners at Saratoga De-
cline to Allow Races to
Proceed.
OPEN HOSTILITY is SHOWN
PROGRAM HELD UP FOR MORE
THAN AN HOUR.

Ballston, n. Y, Aug. 26.-For an
hour and a half this afternoon the
openly expressed hostility of owners of
trotting horses taking part in the
events at the Saratoga county fair to-
ward Governor Charles Z. Hughes held
up the racing program at the fair
grounds here. Governor Hughes was a
visitor at the fair today and addressed
big gathering, which gave him a
hearty greeting and an attentive hear
ing. The governors presence on the
grounds, however, was resented by the
horse owners, who have taken excep-
ton to the governors efforts to sup
press betting on the race tracks of the
state. AS a consequence they refused
to start their horses while the execu-
tive was on the grounds.
The strike" of the horse owners ere
ated an unprecedented situation and
caused the management of the fair
marked embarrassment. When the con-
ditions became known a sensation was
created among the thousands of spec
tatorS on the grounds, and considerable
pressure was put upon the trotting
men to change their attitude and run
off the races as scheduled.
Openly Hostile to Hughes.
In this the fair officials took the lead,
urging their case strongly upon the re-
calcitrant owners, and pointing out the
awkwardness of the situation caused
by balk in the program. Their efforts
were fruitless, however the owners re-
naming obdurate, and for an hour and
half refusing to bulge from their po-
sitiOn. They openly declared that Gov
ernor Hughes had antagonized their in
terests and that they proposed to re-
taliate by refusing to take their horses
out on the track while he was present.
Those in charge of the fair threatened
to have the owners disqualified for their
refusal TO come to time when the races
We're called, but even this threat had
no effect in altering their attitude, and
the races were held up during the entire
period of the executives presence at
the fair.
Governor Hughes was scheduled to
leave here on the 4 o'clock train, and
shortly before that time he left the fair
grounds enclosure. Immediately upon
his departure the racing proceeded.
The lateness of the start caused the
continuance of the trotting until dark
this evening.

CzARINA IS ILL.
She Has Been Taking Treatment for
 Obesity.

She Has Been Taking. Treatment for
 St. Petersburg. Feb. 29.-The real cause of the Czarina's illness is the regimen to which Her Majesty has subjected herself in order to cure ex- cessive corpulency.
 For the past two years the Czar- ina's tendency to stoutness has caus- ed her much concern. Her confidant, Miss Pauline Schmidt who instructed her in the Russian language before her marriage, suggested a course of cure consisting of Swedish massage combined with tho administration of certain drugs.
 This cure has been carried on per- sistently and with good effect during the last seven months. But while the stoutness decreased the Empres grad . ually lost strength. The change was noticed by the court physician, pr. Botkin. who learning of the facts, ad- vised that the cure be discontinued.
 The czarina persisted in the treat ment. Two months ago when the re- auction of figure she aimed at was attained, she was about to abandon 1t when she was attacked with infiu- enza. Her impaired strength has since made 1t impossible to throw or the affects. The infuenza was aceonipanied with slight blood poisoning, and this aggravated it's severity.
 Political circumstances has nothing to do with the Illness. the prevailing sentiment at court being that the rev. oiutionary movement is completely crushed.
