CAYE-IN THREATENS
QUARTER OF PARIS
ReScuers Working Heroically
To Save Life of Nine.
Chevalier.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The sewers of Paris,
through which Hugo's Jean Val Jean"
struggled to safety, threatened to de-
stroy practically every house in the
Montmartre quarter in the cave-ins ac-
count of which was given In yesterday S
Sunday afternoon edition of The Times.
The population Of the quarter is terri
fed by the decision of engineers that
there are a number Of undertakings
similar to that which on Saturday
formed a hole large enough to swallow
a six-story apartment house when It
caVed in.
Rescuers are working frantically in
the hope of saving Madame Chevalier,
who was engulfed in the cave-in. She
is believed to be alive in one of the
sewers with which the CAVERN must
connect, or in a pocket of the cave-in,
cut OF by the ruins of the house.
The rescuers are constantly in danger
because Of the possibility that surround
ing houses, which are undermined, may
collapse. The husband Of Madams
ChevaIier is directing the work OF res
cue parties, striving TO recover his wife.

PASTOR TELLS FLOCK
WHICH WAY TO VOTE
Boston Clergyman Says Dannation
Is Fit Reward for Wrong
Voting.

BOSTON. Nov. 1.-Demnation for
those who vote wrong in the State cleo
ton here tomorrow viii be fit reward,
according TO a statement of the Rev.
Cortland Myers, which is causing a rip
pie in political circles here today.
While refusing to mention the candi-
date by name. DR.. Myers delivered the
following warning from the pulpit in
fremont Temple last night:
You have a State election in Massa-
chusetts next Tuesday. and I have
learned that a certain candidate for a
high office is allied with the liquor in
terests, and that friends of his are work.
ing among the liquor dealers in his be-
half I have also learned that another
candidate for the same high honors is
being attacked by these same forces
that are supporting his rival
Now, IL you do not know what 10
do next Tuesday when you go to the bal
lot box. your names ought to be stricken

LIQUOR MEN TO CHECK
DRINK SUPPLY OF 10
Minnesota Association of Wholesalers Tells the Saloon
Dealers That They Must Not Sell to the
Red Men Any More.

What he hopes is but the beginning Of
a crusade on the part of the wholesale
LIQUOR dealers Of the entire country
against the Illegal sale of liquor to che
Indians. was officially recognized today
BY Commissioner Valentine. of the Blu
reau OF Indian Affairs, in a letter TO
Attorney F. w. Zollman, Of Minneapolis.
who had informed him of the agreement
OF the Minnesota Wholesale Iiouor
Dealers Association to do business no
longer with the retailers who sell to the
red men.
Mr.. valentine received the letter
from Attorney Zollman Saturday. II
informed him Of the ironcIad agree
ment among the wholesalers of that
State to abide by the resolution pass
ed at the last meeting of the asso-
citation. Firms found to be dealing
with retailers who sell to the Indians
viii be stricken of the list as mem
bers and a general boycott viii be
Dracticed against them by their for
mer colleagues.
Il have contended right along that
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-11-01

this is only good business on the part
OF the wholesalers" Mr.. Valentine said
today. They cannot afford 10 con-
tinue selling to men who they know
are selling TO the Indians. The senti-
ment in this country should warn the
wholesalers that careful attention and
obedience Of the laws alone should be
found in their business dealings here
after. I hope the wholesalers in other
states viii follow the example of those
in Minnesota"
The recent visit of Special Agent W
z. johnson to Minnesota in which he
and his deputies demolished the stocks
Of saloons as effectually as If il had
been done by Carrie Nation, brought
this matter to the attention of the
wholesalers.
Johnson and his men were arrested and
jailed, but got out on writs OF habeas
corpus, and proceeded to get the men
arrested who swore out the warrants
against them. Not only did the liquor
dealers have their places destroyed, but
they were 'teavily fined for L terfering
with Federal agents in enforcing the
laws.

SWEEPING CHANGES
At THE TREASURY
Special Investigating Com
mittee Completes Work
In Department.

That a comprehensive plan for the
reduction OF salaries in some cases
and the increase Of pay in other
quarters in the Treasury Department
has been practically agreed on by
the committee appointed by Secre-
tary MacVeagh to investigate the per-
sonnet and efficiency of the depart
ment, is now no longer kept secret by
the officials.
Whether Mr.. MacVeagh will accept
all the recommendation of the COM
mittee is another matter which viii
not be decided until the Secretary
returns to Washington from his sum-
mer home in New Hampshire.
II he does follow all the sugges-
tions OF the committee, there seems
to be no doubt the department Will
suffer a severe shake-up in the mat
ter Of adjustment OF salaries. Among
the men who profess to be familiar
with the findings OF the committee it
is not claimed there viii be any
wholesale dismissals OF employees from
the service, but. instead of this, there
VIII be in some places sweeping re-
auctions in pay, and in others many
promotions in salary.
The committee consists Of Assistant
Secretaries Of the Treasury Norton
and Hilles. and former Assistant Sec
rotary Reynolds, whose term of Office
expired today to enable him to give
all his time to his new duties on the
Tariff Commission.
Excitement among the clerks and
chiefs in the department is running
high, and, while there is no definite
information as to what the recon-
mendations Of the committee will be.
there is q general and widespread
IDEA that the results will be more
drastic than had been expected.

across the Niekamp crossing over Mill
creek on East Broadway in Moirose
township. The commissioners, C.

Klein, engaged Engineer Enoch Chat
ten, who made plans for bridge of
n feet and the abutments were set
for bridge of that length.
The contract was let to VanDusea
& Turner. The bridge was completed
and is now found to be fourteen
inches short. The commissioners
refuse to accept the bridge and there
the matter rests. The commissioners
and Supe ,visors Walter Miller and

THE WEATHER
CROP BULLETIN
AS Issued by the Iowa climatoIosical
Service for the Week.

The Iowa weather crop bulletins
have commenced again for the season,
the first one being just issued for the
week ending April IL, and being as
follows:
The average daily temperature for
the state for the six months, October,
1908, to March, 1909, inclusive, was
329 degrees, an average daily excess
of 90 degrees. The mean tempera-
ture was above the normal in all the
months except October and March,
the average daily deficiency being for
the latter month Is degrees.
The average total precipitation was
1924 inches which is 1.2S inches above
the normal. December and March
were the only months that had de-
ficieacy. but the snowfall for March
was far in excess of the normal for
that month
The drouth which prevailed during
August and September of the last year
continued during the larger part of
October and prevented the seeding
Of as large an acreage of fall grains
as was anticipated. Tie drouth also
caused uneven termination and pre-
vented the usual growth, and the al
ternating freezing and thawing wealth

siderable injury TO the plants so that
the average condition of winter wheat
is said 10 be below the average for
this time of the year; but the spring
growth has not been sufficient TO per-
nit an accurate estimate of the CON
diton being made. This also applies

winter killed in many sections Of the
