PARIS DISTRESS
IS STILL ACUTE
Two Hundred thousand Per.

SEINE RECED!NG SLOWLY

That Danger of Further Disaster Ex-

Sidewalks in Certain Parts OF the
City--Many Days Must Elapse Be.
fore Anything Approaching Normal
Conditions is Reached.
Paris, Feb. With 100000 persons
actually homeless in Paris and subur.
ban towns and 100000 without en-
ployment, with hundreds still imper-
lied by the flood and acute distress on
every hand, the government announced
that it has the situation well in
hand"
This statement means no more than
that the crisis from the flood itself
has passed and that if everything goes
we'll and none of the threatened dan
gers materialize the city is in a posi-
tion to recover from the blow that has
fallen on it.
The Seine is receding slowly, but
only at the rate of half an inch an
hour.
AS the situation slowly improves in
Paris the people are coming to reali-
cation that they have not suffered
alone. In the towns and provinces
conditions are as deplorable as here.
At Bru-sur-Marne, town of 10000, it
is estimated that 1000 persons are
destitute and suffering
Nearly every city and hamlet along
the rivers of Eastern and Southern
France are in the same condition.
The government will probably as
sumo the task of disinfecting Paris,
as the work will not be done properly
ii left to individual persons. In sew
eral parts of the city the danger OF
disease is already imminent.
Danger Is Still Great.
That there is still great danger of
further catastrophes in the undermin-
ing of the streets and buildings was
shown by the collapse of the side
walks of the Rue ST. Lazare and eau
martin. The sidewalks were precipi-
tated into the subways. These streets
have been added to the large section
of the city that has been roped off
and barred to the public.
One by one the streets of Paris that
were bloodhound are reopening to
traffic and tramways are resuming, al
though from the slow subsidence of
the Seine it is apl .ent that it will be
many days before anything approach
ing normal condition is reached.
Paris biggest rebuilding job will be
In her many miles of subway that
have been almost completely wrecked
1t will be several months before the
subway connections are re-estab
lished
Every mile of Paris underground
traffic system will have to be carefully
examined by engineers before trains
will be permitted to run. Hundreds
of those who had been driven from
their homes returned in boats and
will live for the next few days in the
upper floors
Food supplies are delivered to hun
dreds of houses in boats, nearly all
the stores having substituted boat
lines for tAeir delivery wagons.
Paris Overrun by Thieves.
A reign cf crime and pillage, insti
gated by thieves and apaches, Is
sweeping the food devastated sections
of Paris and it's suburbs, despite the

Washington, Feb. 1.--Explaining his
connection with Alaskan coal claims,
as brought out in the Ballinger-Pin-
chot investigation, Representative Nc
Lachlan (Cal) mentioned Governor
Gillett and Representatives Knowland
and McKinlay of California as being
interested in the proposition with
himself and Representative Kinkaid
(Neb.) and number of others.
Mr.. McLachlan declared that the
proposition was entirely legal and
ethical one. A dozen or more men of
prominence were interested in what
was better known as the Green group.
he said He did not recall the names
of all of his associates. Speaking of
the Green claims Mr.. McLachlan said:

A gruelinC cross-examination of l..
R. CLAWS in the Ballinger-Pinchot in
Quiry is in prospect in view of the
sensational charges the former field
service chief of the general land Office
made in his testimony Saturday.
1t was announced that Representa-
tives McLachlan and Kinkaid would
probably be present at the next exam
ination of the committee. These men,
CLAWS asserted, were interested In
Alaskan coal claims.
Counsel for CLAWS said that the
testimony regarding the two congress,
men was introduced solely for the
purpose of showing that in the one
instance Secretary Ballinger prevent
ed CLAWS from interviewing McLach
| Ian regarding the matter at issue and
in the other that instead of having
only formal knowledge Of the case
Ballinger, by reason of his acting as
attorney for Kinkaid, must have full
knowledge
1t is not disputed that the two con
gressmen had a perfect right, as had
any other citizen. to apply for sec
tion of the coal lands.

MAN, WITH BABY in
ARMS, HIT BY TROLLEY.

In sight of his wife and two children
and with a 3-year-old daughter in his
arms, Albert Wozinski, 45 ear old, of
20S West Kinney street. Newark, was
struck last night by a Kearny trolley
car at North Fourth street, Harrison,
and, with the child, was thrown about
ten feet.
Passersby aided the crew in picking
up the pair, who were brought into the
home of John Riordan, at the corner
of Cross and North Fourth streets.
Mrs. Wozinski was in a state of col
lapse when the Harrison police ambu-
lance, 1 n charge Of Officer Henry Trap
per, arrived, and the whole family was
bundled into it.
At st. Micbaels Hospital, where the
injured ones were taken, 1t was found
that their hurts were not of a serious
nature. They were latr takn hime. At
the point where the accident occurred
Mr.. Riordan and his wife were thrown
from a car some months ago. and Mrs.
Riordan has not yet recovered from
the effects of her injuries.
No one seems to know just what
caused last nights mishap. The pas
sengers on the car say that Motorman
O'Connor made a hard try to avoid
hitting the couple, and 1t was due to
his excellent work with he brakes that
they were not badly hurt.

INJUNCTION STOPS
CITY DESTROYING
DISPUTED BALCONY
Papers Served on Works Super
intendent in Time to Pre-
vent Action.

Papers in injunction proceedings were
served or General Superintendent of
Works Charles M. Shipman at a late
hour Saturday night, which prevented
him from tearing down today the bal
cony that has been erected in front of
102 Market street by David C. Seymour,
a builder.
The injunction was obtained by Ii
Sooey, a tenant In the building, which
is owned by Fairchild & Baldwin.
The papers are made returnable in
the Court of Chancery September 81.
and they served to prevent Mr.. Ship
man from tearing down the obstruction
at s o'clock this morning, as he had in
tended to do.
Mr.. Shipman said today that he had
rather anticipated the action taken by
the owner of the building and remained
away from his home Saturday after
noon and evening until he believed the
danger was over
To his great surprise, when he
reached his house at 11:45 o'clock Satur-
day night. he found a man sitting on
his doorstep, who asked If he was Mr..
Shipman. and when the latter replied
that he was, the man handed him the
injunction papers, which he said had
been procured by the law firm of Mac
Lear 6 Fort. at Mr.. Seymour's orders.
Will Fight to End.
"Of course, there was nothing else for
me to do but to accept the papers"
said Mr.. Shipman, but If l had re-
manned away fifteen minutes longer
that balcony would have come down to-
day, as no one would have reached me.
However, W. will fight the cas to the
end"
All of the ~storekeepers in the immedi-
ate vicinity of 102 Market street, were
very much disappointed today when
they learned of the injunction, as they
thought the difficulty would be disposed
OF for good this morning.
The case Is being fought by the Mar
ket Street Business Mems Association,
on the grounds that the balcony serves
to destroy the signs over the windo VS.
of the firms doing business in the no.
mediate neighborhood of 102 Market
street.

J. A. TAWNEY FACES BIG
FIGHT IN MINNESOTA,
Seats of All Congress Encum-
bents Are in Danger.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 19.-Primary
elections will be held throughout Min
nesota tomorrow, when Congress, coun-
ty and legislative nominees will be
selected by the various parties. Much
interest has been taken in the congress
sional campaigns, owing to the fights
made on Congressman James A. Taw-
ney In the First district. Fred G.
Stevens in the Fourth and F. M. Nye
in the Fifth district.
With the exception of Congressman
C. r. Davis, in the Third, and A. j.
Volsted. in the Seventh, both of whom
have a clear field, every Minnesota
member has a fight for nomination this
year with a candidate running on an
avowed progressive" platform.
The warmest fight Is the n in the
First district, both on account df Mr..
Tawney's prominence n because Gif-
ford Pinchot. F. j. Heney and Theo-
dore Roosevelt have taken a hand IN
the campaign against the incumbent.
Sidney Anderson. a young attorney of
L~anesboro, is the progressive candi-
date and he is said to be giving Mr..
Tawney the hardest fight Of his career
1t is generally predicted that there
will be more Democrats in the State
Legislature this yea than ever before.

Pending the completion of the tunnel
through Bergen cut the Public Utility
Commission decided today to lay over
until January 1 the petition filed by
Nat Bilder and others, of Newark, who
complained about the poor train serv-
ice between Newark and Paterson.
The petition showed that there were
no trains between Newark and Pater-
son between the hours of 7:15 and 1911
a. m. The Erie Railroad Company
claimed that because of the incon-
venience caused by the building of the
tunnel through Bergen Hill 1t would be
impossible to improve the service.
s. e. Tucker, who appeared for the
ErieS said his company expected to
have the tunnel completed before jan
uary 1 next. at which time they would
be able to arrange their schedules so
that the train service between Newark
and Paterson would be greatly i'm
proved. After this explanation the
commission laid the complaint owe
