P|TTSBURG HIT
BY HIGH WATER
New Flood in Rivers Ar
rives with Surprising
Suddenness.
STAGE OF SO FEET EXPECTED
Streets and Cellars in the Out
lying Suburbs Are Cow
cred with Water.
Thousands of Women and Children
Held Prisoners in Their Homes
First Meeting of Flood
Commission.

PittSburg, March 20.-With surpris-
rivers is being experienced in Pitts
burg and vicinity. The stage has
reached the danger mark of twenty
two feet and the water was rising
seventhtenths of an inch an hour.
According to weather bureau fore
cast a stage of thirty three feet is ex-
pected by morning. If this prediction
is carried out the suffering and dam
age will be immense. Should thirty
three feet of water come it would be
only three and one-half feet short Of
the great flood of March 10, 1907.
Prisoners in the Homes.
All small streams are on the ram
page. Streets and cellars in the sub
urbs are covered with water and high
boots, improvised RATS and small
skiffs are at a premium. Thousands
of women and children are prisoners
in their homes and schools are lightly
attended. The lowlands of this city
are inundated and owing to the quick
ness with which the high water came
few persons were able to save goods.
Railroad schedules are disarranged
because of the water and heavy land
slides. On the main line of the Penn
sylvania railroad, between Larimer
and East PittSburg, distance of eight
miles, tracks No. l and No. 2 are out
of commission. On the Southwest
Penn division trains e"e moving at
snal's pace because of numerous
washouts.
Flood Commission Meets.
The first meeting of the Pittsburg
Chamber of Commerce flood commits
sion was held during the day. A de
termined effort will be made to ascer
tain the cost, nature and cause of the
damage. An attempt also will be
made to discover an adequate meth
od to protect the city as whole, or,
if this is not possible, to safeguard
certain sections. The plans of forest
reservations. reservoirs and dikes will
be investigated.
Table Comparing Floods.
An exhibit of interest is a table
comparing the floods Of the first and
last half of the period since 1873. 1t
shows that from 1873 to 1890 there
were nineteen stages of twenty two
feet, four of twenty-six, one of thirty
and one of thirty-five feet, but in the
last seventeen years there have been
twenty seven of twenty-five feet,
twelve of twenty-six feet, i've of thir-
ty feet and one of thirty-five feet.

has been released from prison on
Blackwells island.
The man went to Jail on May IL,
1907, and was finally given his re-
lease March 49, the rest of the one
year being clipped off because he be-
hayed well. Hummel stepped into
outdoors without profession. He
has been disbarred in New York from
practicing law. 1t is known that he
amassed a large fortune before District
Attorney Jerome finally brought about
his indictment, conviction and impris-
onment
In Dodge Morse Tangle.
Hummel came to his end in profeS-
sional life in New York in connection
with the famous Dodge-Morse divorce
tangle. He was indicted on two
charges of conspiracy to illegally an
null a marriage and subornation of
perjury. He fought the case. The
jury found him guilty in just two
hours.
He took the case to the court of
appeals and lost again. There was
nothing left for him but the barred
bedroom and the lockstep and he gave
up the fight.
The lawyers first weeks on Black
wells island were as potato peeler
lie brought influence to bear to stop
what he called ''indignity" from be-
ing heaped upon him as a further dis
grace, but Abe Hummel In the prison
was just like any other convict. He
was known as ''twenty-three."
An EventfuI Life.
Here are some of the startling
things in this mans public life in New
York:
He was indicted in the Dodge
Morse divorce affair with former Su-
preme Court Justice Fursman. He ap-
peared at one stage Of the divorce
proceedings as counsel for Mrs. Morse.
He again gained wide notoriety as a
leading light in the underworlings of
the Harry X. Thaw case.
AS Divorce Lawyer.
He became well known as a di-
vorce lawyer and was counsel in
dozens Of divorces in the lives of the
wealthy.
He gained notoriety when after
winning a divorce suit for Mrs. Louise
Barrett, the woman kissed him in open
court.
He fought his sentence to the high
est court in New York, but was final
" convinced there was no other path
but to the Jail.

Cattle Threaten to Stampede.

Frenzied by smoke, cattle threat
ened to tear down the woodwork sur
rounding their pens. Employees pre-
vented this, and then opening the
gates leading into lane, they hurried
the animals to a space a block away,
where they were corralled.
The fire started in the one-story
building formerly occupied by the
company as power house, but recent
ly converted into storage rooms.
Blown by a strong wind the flames
soon attacked the three-story sheep
house, known as No. 4.
The firemen, by prompt work, man
aged to eXtinguish the flames in the
sheep house before any considerable
damage was done. The cause Of the
fire is not known.
Mounted Cowboys to Rescue.
Workers bound for the stockyards
office buildings collected in crowds t0
view the blaze. Cowboys dashed to
the spot on horses from all points and
workers about the pens suspended
their labors to hurry to the fire.
When the wooden tower tumbled il
was feared that the flames had passed
out of the control Of the firemen and a
call was made for more apparatus.
The burning debris Of the tower scat
tered about the roof of the sheep shed
The sheep led from the shed were dis
tributed among nearby pens, where
the cries of the animals added to the
turmoil
