Damage Caused by Breaking of Dam
Near Helena, Mont.

Damage Caused by Breaking of Dam
Near Helena, Mont.
Helena, Mont, April 16.-Two lives
have been lost, the villages of Hauser
Lake and Craig have been destroyed,
a dozen cabins at Oxbow, the site of
another dam, have been swept away,
railroad traffic has been tied up and
ranchers have lost heavily in live
stock and buildings as the result of
the bursting of the 100000 dam at
Lake Hauser. Many thrilling escapes
from death have been reported. The
loss from the food will reach 100000.
Great Northern Agent Stewart of
Wolf Creek reports that the track
from Wolf Creek east as far as he can
see is flooded to depth of three feet
and that for three miles or more it is
completely washed out and in places
overturned, while the rails are twist
ed and bent in every shape by the
foaming waters. Twenty-eight miles
of track are under water.
1t is figured conservatively that for
at least twenty days no trains can go
over the line and no repair work can
be done until the water between Wolf
Creek and Cascade recedes.
The washing out of this stretch of
track between Wolf Creek and Cas-
cade will tie up practically the entire
traffic of the Great Northern between
Helena and St. Paul.

DEMANDS RETRACTlON.
Secretary Loeb Replies to Speech Of
Mr.. Sims in the House.

Washington, April Fl. - William
Loeb, Jr., secretary to the president,
has made public a letter written to
Representative Sims of Tennessee in
reply to Mr.. Sims speech in the
house regarding Mr.. Loeb's connec-
ton with the Washington Railway and
Electric company. Mr.. Loeb calls upon
Mr.. Sims for an immediate retraction,
says that the statement of Mr.. Sims
was false in it's effect, misleading in
its imputation, unfair to him and to
the representatives sense of rectitude
and honor. He says that of the 400
shares of the common stock of the
road standing in his name only 100
shares, enough to enable him to quail
lily as director, are his and he denies
approaching any one regarding street
railway legislation.

Porte's Action Results in Calling OF

u ton in Turkish Waters.

Rome, April 20.-Turkey has &C.
coded to the Italian demand for Ital.
ian postoffces in Turkish territory in
order to avoid a naval demonstration
in her waters. Italy insists, however,
that her other claims against the Otto
man empire be recognized and an
active exchange of dispatches between
Constantinople and Rome is going on.
Turkey has communicated officially
to the Italian government that it does
not object to Italy establishing post
Offices in the Turkish cities where the
other powers have like institutions.
Furthermore, the porte has practically
acknowledged the other Italian claims
in the matter of the right of Italians
freely to purchase property on Turk
ish territory and with regard to coast
navigation.
AS a result of these concessions the
Italian government has issued orders
to the feet that was about to depart
for Turkey to remain in Italian waters
and the incident is regarded as closed
Paris, April 20.-Discussing the
Italian demands on Turkey the Eclaire

F0RTY-0NE PERSONS KILLED
Passenger Trains in Collision Near
Melbourne, Australia.

Melbourne, Australia, April 21-
Two trains from Ballarat and Bendigo,
respectively, collided at Bray
brook Junction, about eight miles from
Melbourne, forty-one persons being
killed and sixty injured. The Bendi-
go train, with two heavy engines,
crashed into the rear of the Ballarat
train. Five cars of the latter train
were wrecked. The wreckage took
fire and was almost completely con-
sumed. Many of the bodies were un-
recognizable when recovered.
The Bendigo train suffered but lit
tie damage, but the two engines were
piled on top of the rear coaches of
the other train. Terrible scenes fol-
lowed the accident, many of the in
jured being caught in the wreckage.
It was long time before doctors and
nurses arrived on the scene and as
consequence intense suffering pre-
vailed among the injured.

Russian Force in Persia in Critical
Situation.
Tiflis, April 2O.-An alarming report
has just been received here setting
forth the critical situation of small
Russian expeditionary force in Persia,
which is menaced by vastly superior
body of Persian brigands. The Rus
sian troops penetrated the frontier in
the neighborhood of Belesuvar in pur-
suit of Kurdish brigands who had
committed depredations in Russian
territory.
The Russian commander of the
force has sent out a mess enger de-
manding achievements of infantry,
artillery and cavalry.
The Persians, who have been joined
by warlike tribe of Nomads, sur
round the Russians with a numerous
force and their horsemen have as
sumed the offensive The sending in
of Russian reinforcements is made
particularly difficult by the flooded
condition of the country.

PROBE PAPER TRUST
House Passes Cannon Resolution
for an Investigation.
SELECT committee NAMED
Democratic Leader Declares the Way
to Kill the Combine Is to Put
Paper on the Free List.

Washington, April 21--The house
has adopted Speaker Cannon's resolu-
ton authorizing the appointment of a
committee to investigate the so called
paper trust and the general subject of
wood pulp and the manufacture of
pTinttng paper. The speaker an
nouneed the following as members of
the committee to make the proposed
Investigation: Mann Ull), Miller
&Kan.), Stafford (Wis.), Bannon CO.,,
Sims (Tenn), Ryan IN. W.
The resolution provides for select
committee of six and was passed un-
der suspension of the rules. In ex-
PLANTATION of the resolution Mr.. DalZell
(Pa.) said it was matter Of public
notoriety that there had been a large
increase in the price Of paper. Never,
he declared, had there been such an
agitation as had been aroused by the
newspapers the last few weeks.
While there was consensus of opin-
ion, he said, as to the increase there
was no cOnSenSu us as 10 tne cause OIL
that increase. 1t was, he said, capable
Of mathematical demonstration that
the increase was not due to the tariff
and he contended that it would not be
changed by a removal Of the tariff.
However that may be, he said, there
were those who believed that the in
crease was due to combination or
trust and it was necessary to get the
facts upon which to base q bill to
meet the case.
In the opinion of Mr.. Williams the
rise in price was due both to the tar
If and the combination and the COM
hination is due TO the tariff If. he
said, it had been intended to kill the
combination it could have been done
by putting wood pulp and print paper
on the free list.
The vote on the resolution stood
1s4 to 10 and was strictly on party
lines
