Duluth, July 2s.-Fully $1,50O,OOO
damage was done by the flood here,
following terrific rains and a cloud
burst.
Three lives Were lost during the
storm. Two children were swept
from their mothers sides on Ninth
avenue east, one body being lost in a
sewer at the bottom of the hill. An
other child was lost in Keene's creek
at West Duluth.
The entire hillside became prac.

ers, already overlooking, were totally
inadequate to carry off the rushing
water and the streets and avenues
quickly turned into torrents, with the
water running three feet deep. Street
cars were compelled to suspend. Citi-
zens stripped off their shoes and
waded home. The theater crowds
came out to find the streets a minia-
ture lake and the men, picking up
their female companions, carried them
to higher ground. Automobiles and
hacks were impossible, owing to the
accumulation of mud in the streets.
The hotels were crowded with those
unwilling to venture forth In the ele-
ments.
Twenty or more houses were washed
away along small creeks in the city
suburbs.
Nearly Drown in Streets.
Several narrow escapes are report

woman was rolled over and over I'M

The rain continued unabated all
night, vivid lightning accompanying
the storm. The reverberations of
mammoth thunderclaps, added to the
shrieking of the lighthouse sirens, the
pelting rain and the torrent rushing
down the hillside, caused a pande-
monium
A peculiar element of human inter-
est was added to the storm features
in the discovery that Mr.. and Mrs.
Romano, two of whose children were
drowned, also were victims of the dis

NAVAL SURGEON TESTIFIES
Says Sutton's Wound Could Have
Been SeIf-Inflicted,

Annapolis, Nd, July 23.-Surgeon
George Pickrell, q. S. NJ, who attend
ed Lieutenant Sutton after he was
shot, testified at the inquiry here that
the bullet entered Sutton's head on
top, near the back and little to the
right. This has been a much disputed
point, as other physicians have testi-
fed that the wound was just back of
the right ear. Surgeon Pickrell stated
that the shot was fred within two feet
of Sutton's head and in his opinion
could have been self-infiicted. He
said that Sutton's body showed no
other injuries which might have
caused his death.
The witness identified belt an
holster, which, he said, was strapped
on Sutton's leg the night of the trag.
edy.

She declared at first that she intend

REVIEW OF LOCAL TRADE
Cut Rate Sales Feature of Retail
Observation-Disclosures Cues
ton Considered Settled.

The following statement was prepared
for The Herald yesterday by the local
manager for the Bradstreet company;
''Cut rate sales have been the feature
of retail trade for the past ten days, it
being the regular practice to dispose of
surplus winter stocks at this season in or
der to make room for spring stocks which
are now for the most part in transit. IN
der this spur trade has been artificialy
stimulated, though otherwise it is exper-
fencing the normal lull of the season.
Wholesale trade in February has been
somewhat less than expected, not keep
ing up the increase over 1908 shown in
January. Collections are still backward
though some improvement is noted in this
respect.
Prospective building operations have
been encouraged very materially by the
bition agitation Lumber men and con-
tractors report that projects which had
been in suspense are now being rapidly
matured and they look for pronounced &C
tivity as soon as the weather will per-
nit
All lines of jobbing industry seem to
regard the prohibition question as settled
and are going ahead normally, except the
liquor interests. Those are still operating
with much caution and no doubt will con-
tinue TO do so until the legislature ad-
journs- Their sales have shown marked
as compared to other lines of
trade. With the exception of this line,
jobbers unite in an optimistic feeling in
respect to future business"

= SESSION is CONCERNED.
CHARGES OF BEvERIDGE

Washington, Feb. 27.-There will be
no statehood legislation for New Mex
leo and Arizona at the present session
of congress. At meeting of the COM
mittee on territories today all members,
regardless of party, in sensational
scene. abandoned consideration OF the
house bill.
The members of the committee left
the room without anyone suggesting
further meetings for its consideration
This remarkable action occurred at the
conclusion Of the reading of statements
presented by Senators Nelson and Bev-
eridge, charging that corruption, jury
bribing and various other Offenses
against certain officials and leaders of
what was termed the gang which is
in control of political affairs in New
Mexico
Damaging Statements.
Among the statements read was a
telegram from j. J. Hagerrnan, former
governor of New Mexico, rejecting
upon the character of the people who
are in control of political affairs of that
territory, and declaring that these men
expect to continue their control after
the territory becomes a state. He re-
ferred to them as "freebooters," and
said that so per cent of the voters are
Mexicans, and one-haif of that number
are illiterate and ignorant and easily
could be governed by the gang to
which he referred. He suggested that
il would be well to wait until after the
next census before admitting New Mex
leo to statehood.
Another statement was read recount
ing the difficulties by Ormsby McHarg,
who went to New Mexico in 1907 as an
agent of the department of justice to
prosecute land frauds. This statement
declares that Mr.. McHarg was ham
pered in his work by Governor Curry
and his attorney general, Judge A. B,
Fall.
Officials Indicted.
Among other confidential information
produced by various senators were a
number of indictments returned against
the territorial officials, and there was
read also a letter from ". F. Wilcox,
4 former newspaper man of Santa Fe,
who asserts that his life was threatened
and that he believes the threat would
have been carried out had he not left
the territory.
1t is regarded as extremely likely that
the committee on territories will decide
