Discovery of Ohio Property Brings
5000 of Them to Light.

5000 of Them to Light.
Over 5000 heirs-at-law of George
Washington, father of his country, yet
a childless man, have recently been
found in different parts of the United
States through the recent discovery
that there is a large tract of land in
Ohio which belongs to the first Presi-
dent of the United States, having been
decided to him many years ago.
These heirs, through Lawrence
Washington, who has position in the
Congressional Library at Washington,
are preparing to make a fight for the
property Should they succeed through
the courts, they will very probably
deed the land back to the State of
Ohio for big national park to be
known as Washington Park
OF all these 5000 heirs of the collat-
eral branch of the family, the descend
ants of the four brothers and two Sis
tiers, there is one who has the double
distinction of being a descendant of the
immortal George on both his fathers
and his mothers side. This is George
Steptoe Washington, merchant of
Philadelphia. On his mothers side he
is descended from Colonial Samuel
Washington, the oldest of Georges
brothers, and on his fathers side, he
is descendant of John Augustine, the

JACKIEs AS TARGETS.
Remarkable Test to Be Made by
Navy Department.

The Navy Department has under con-
sideration the most startling tests of
the penetrating power of shells, dan
ger to life, and the resisting power of
armor that ever has been tried in any
navy The proposition is to have the
monitor Arkansas fire a 12-inch shell
weighing $50 pounds from Cotton gun
a distance of two miles and have it
strike the turret of a sister ship, the
Florida, which is being placed in read
mess for the trial.
The astounding part of the test is the
proposition to have in the turret of
the Florida at the time of the impact
the full turret complement of twelve
men, All paper figures, all statistics
so far as weight of metal thrown, heat
generated by impact, resisting power of
armor, and other details would indi-
cate that the men in the turret would
come out unscathed except for the
shock. Of course, there is no record
in existence of a monitor, the turret
protected by an 11-inch armor belt, be
ing struck plump by 13-inch shells of
$50 pounds weight All figures are
purely theoretical.
The possibility of missing is indefi-
nitelv small. All shots are now fired

Gigantic National Federation Form

Gigantic National Federation Form
ing to Champion Liquor Interests.
Battle is to be offered prohibition in
every city, town and county of the Uni
ted States through the medium of vast
national federation, with executive head
quarters in Chicago, and composed OF
every association connected directly or IN.
directly with the liquor trade. This was
the formal announcement made by John
A. McDermott, manager of the organiza-
ton bureau of the project. Arrange
ments for the liquor interests and allied
trades and societies to join hands in a
stupendous campaign against prohibition
have been under way for several months.
but it has not been felt that the time
was ripe for a public announcement of
what it is declared, will be the most re-
markable fight yet undertaken in this
country by a single industry. The gen.
eral plans have now been formulated,
however, and accordingly have been made
public. 1t is estimated that the organiza-
tions which will give active aid TO the
central executive committee win have
total membership of 100000 voters,
representing 100000 persons. 1t is es-
timated by the liquor trade that the in
vestment represented by the federation
will be approximately $3.50, 100000 This
figure leaves out of consideration the ho-

TO the professional vagrant or tramp. Dr.
Harvey Furbay, one of the founders,
says that charity lodging houses are much
imposed upon by the drones of society.
The new plan is expected to separate
these from the earnest unfortunates. 1t
is expected that the work will make the
charity self-sustaining. The statement
was made that out of 997 men of the bet
ter class of unemployed 80 were found
to be college graduates.

South Dakota Divorce Mill Brings
I'm 95.OOO.OOO


i'm S5,OOO,OOO.
In the annual report of the bureau of
vital statistics is made plain the reason
why South Dakota does not want to give
up the divorce business. The bureaus
report shows that during the year 1907
total of 552 divorces were granted IN
the State, of which 800 were to non-res-
idents, and it was a dull year In the di-
vorce market, too. The average spent by
seekers for divorce during their six
months residence in South Dakota is not
less than $500 a month and probably
much higher, but estimating the average
cost of Dakota divorce, including the
expenses of setting up residence, pay
ment of attorney and court costs at 81
500, the State of South Dakota last year
took in $4S0,OO0 for granting the 800 di-
vorces to non-residents. While 1907 was
decidedly bearish in the divorce trade,
owing TO the agitation in the State for
repeal of the law, if the income for the
last year is taken as an average, South
Dakota has realized S5,000,0O0 from her
divorce mill in the last decade. This
really is a low estimate, for most of
those who come to South Dakota to be
freed of chatting matrimonial ties are lib
eral spenders of money. Merchants send
special orders for high-grade goods in an
ticipation of the divorce patronage, hotels
fit up whole suites of rooms in the best
of trappings to make the sojourn pleas
ant, while it is a regular business to fur
nish houses and rent them to unhappy
wives for from S75 to 800 a month.

Rise of Several Rivers Is Reported
to Be the Highest in Many
Years.
SUFFERERS FLEE TO THE HILLS.
Boat Invades Flooded Cornfeld to
Save Farmers and Stock-Sick-
ness Follows Privation.

The flood throughout the Ohio val
ley, caused by heavy rains and melting
SHOWS, is reported to be the highest
since 1876. Lives have been lost,
homes, bridges and fences swept away,
and crops and roads ruined Hun
dreds of families have been flood
bound in the overfowed areas.
The Monongahela, Allegheny. Ohio,
Wabash and smaller streams have all
contributed to the destruction which
has moved down the Mississippi to-
ward the Gulf of Mexico.
Pittsburg, perhaps, has been the
greatest sufferer from the flood which
has been sweeping down the Ohio val
ley. Any one acquainted with the To-
cation of the Smoky City knows why
Pittsburg is annually, and sometimes
several times year, victim of high
water. The Monongahela and Ale
gheny rivers, uniting to form the Ohio,
each flows through a narrow ravine
and when the waters of the noun
tains and highlands come down in I'M

thaws or persistent rains, the flood of
necessity must overflow the narrow
point between the ravines, thus mum

In the vicinity of the junction of the
Ohio and Wabash rivers food suffer-
ers abandoned their homes to the rag
ing waters and fed to the hills. Here
they have been quartered in huts,
sheds and deserted buildings and as
result of the exposure and privation
pneumonia has become prevalent.
People along the lower Ohio River
have prepared for the siege in store
for them. Nearly a hundred families
on the Indiana side, opposite Union
town, OHIO, were removed The big
Ohio River steamer City of Spettsville
cut across a cornfield and brought out
several families, with 200 hogs, eighty
mules and fifty cattle. The rescued
food victims had spent two nights in
terror and fought necessarily to keep
their stock from drowning. Residents
at Shawneetown, H., are apprehensive,
as the levee has been weakened by the
excessive rain and the three floods of
last year. A constant watch is being
kept of weak places.

NEW YORK.

Widespread stormy weather has had the
effect of dulling dishibutive trade, inter
rupting railway traffic and restricting the
movement of grain to market to the small
est volume in twenty-five months. In
addition floods in the Ohio and tributary
valleys have restricted industrial opera
tions for a time.
Jobbing trade, judging from the re-
ports received, continued as recently
noted, a good-sized aggregate of small or
ders for immediate or near shipment be-
ing reported at leading markets. Mill
merry, dry goods and kindred lines are in
chief demand, with staple goods preferred
to novelties, which latter are rather neg
lected
Retail trade is at a transition point,
and is quiet as a whole, responding to
the decreased purchasing of the wage
earning classes. Talk of reduction in
wages by railroads and others is wide
spread.
Industrial affairs show little change,
With shutdowns or short time about coun-
terbalaneing assumptions. There is. for
instance, more doing in finishing lines OF

PLUMBER IN PRISONERS ROOM.


Postoffice Frauds and Burglaries
May BE Proved by Find.
Government inspectors located at the
Hotel Essex in Boston a quantity of loot
i'll the room formerly occupied by James
A. Baker, the alleged postofice robber,
who was arrested in New York after de-
tectives had chased him across the coun-
try. Postofice Inspectors kinkaid OF
New York and c. n. Perkins of Brock
ton, with d. Miles Rigon, chief of the
secret service of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, searched Bakers room. They found
a suit case nearly filed with postal money
order blanks from various places, some
partly filled out, number of tickets on
western railroads, several hundred dol
lars worth of mileage books and guam
tity of wearing apparel. This discovery,
the inspectors believe, will furnish evil
dence connecting Baker with series of
postofice frauds, burglaries and robberies,
stretching from the Pacific coast to the
Atlantic.

Four men were probably fatally wound

were severely cut and several more slight
ly injured in a riot between two factions
of Polish celebrators at wedding festiyi-
ties at a. m. the other day in Chicago.
The fray marked the end of a celebration
in the saloon and dance hall of Joseph
Kuta, 70 Front street The participants
were in attendance on the nuptial cere-
monies of Leo Chasski, q years old, and
Mary Wadya, 10 years old. Intermittent
fighting was started at midnight and cul
minated in a terrific battle, in which
knives, beer bottles, chairs and tables
were used. The conflict had its origin
in an old controversy between two Polish
factions, and arguments between individ-
uals finally led to the free-for-all fighting.
Four men were slashed on the face and
body until they fell unconscious from loss
of blood One of them was the brides
brother. Policeman John McDonough.
who was detailed at the hall, was cut on
the hands and his uniform was ripped to
pieces Other policemen were slightly in
jured but succeeded in arresting twenty
of the combatants The police say the
battle was the worst they have ever had
to contend with at celebration by the
foreign element.
