Woodruff Wants
Public Hearing
on Land Affairs
Resents Imputation that Graft Existed
in Purchase of Adirondack Prop
erty for New York State.

NEW YORK, Aug 2S.--Timothy l.. Wood
ruff, chairman of the republican state com
mittee last night telegraphed to Commits
sioners Clark and Austin, who are invest-
eating land purchases in the Adirondack
region. demanding a public hearing con-
cernlng all Adirondack matters with which
his name has been connected.
The telegram follows:
I'm view OF imputations at yesterday S
hearing and newspaper inferences drawn
therefrom, 1 respectfully demand a public
hearing concerning all Adirondack matters
with which my name has been associated"
Mr.. Woodruff owns property in the
Adirondacks, known as Kamp XIII Kare,
consisting of 1,O30 acres for which he paid
$4,000. Adjacent property was purchased
by the state forest preserve board, of which
Mr.. Woodruff was president at the time for
$167, 900.
Commenting tonight on statements made
at the hearing and in the public press, Mr..
Woodruff said!
IF 1t is true, ss stated. that the prop
erty referred to as having been purchased
for the state at $4,000, was offered to me
and my associates in the forest preserve
BOARD for $4,000 or any other sum less fhan
which we paid for II, it is the duty of Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Austin to demand our
criminal prosecution. which should result in
convlcting us of the crime of defrauding
the state of New York of the difference
between the amount at which the property
was offered and the price we paid for 1t.
OF course as a matter of fact we never
paid to secure this or any other piece OF
property one penny more than the lowest
price we could get 1t at, after bartering
with and beating down the seller"
In letter which he sent to the commits
sioners, and which was made public today,
Mr.. Woodruff pointed out that he paid
an average of $12 per acre for his property,
while the state, which took a tract Of about
100000 acres, paid something under 81 an
acre. Furthermore he AYERS, w. W. Du-
rant, from whom he purchased, would not
consider any price from the state, as a
lake in the Kamp XIII Kare property would
therefore become public property and les
sen the value of two adjacent preserves
on which he had erected costly buildings.

MADRID. Aug. 2S.-(special Cablegram)
king Altonso's rotLrn to his capital has
strengthened the hands Of the Canalejas
government and the premier has adopted
a more emphatic tone.

to Spain economically Of a speedy and
complete regulsrizatlon of the religious as

Time alone viii show II this be the fact.
But there is no doubt that CanaleJas is
gaining popular support rapidly now that
prominence is given to the economic as

The radicals are subordinating their
hostility to the church as such to bring
into bolder relief the economic privileges
enjoyed by the religious commuhities st

STREETS FLOODED BY RAIN
Tremendous Downpour Has Effect of
Choking Some Sewers.
THEATERGoERs MEET A SURPRISE
Women I'm Stalled Automobile Suffer
DrenchinE--AlmOst an Inch of
Water Falls in Very
Brief Time.

The sudden storm late Sunday afternoon
caught hundreds of people at the theaters
and good deal of pushing and showing re-
suited. 1t rained so heavily for a time that
the first people at the doors stopped short
when they saw the downpour Others be-
hind, wishing to get nearer fresh air,
hardly realized the situation and kept push
ing toward the front
Down Farnam and Harvey streets the
water poured like a spring freshet in the
mountains. The storm sewers were not
large enough to swallow the great volume
of water and in the cutters nearby the
streams were many inches deep, Pedes-
trians tried to leap them with varying sue
cess. In front OF The Bee building one
man jumped far enough, but his derby fell
off and vanished in a twinkling 1t went
down the sewer before It's owner could re-
cover his balance on the sidewalk.
Wallace studio BIo,vn over.
j. Laurie Wallace, the artist, will be a
heavy loser because of the storm. The
old church buIlcing which he has been
using as a studio at 1870 lizard street,
was blown to pieces by several heavy
gusts of wind. The wreck of the building
is not in itself cause of great loss, but
many valuable paintings and pieces of stat.
uary were very seriously damaged by water
and falling timbers, and some OF them are
thought to be ruined No estimate Of the
loss could be made last night.
An automobile chose the moment wher
the storm was at its height as the proper
time to STALL at the corner of Twenty
fourth and Bristol street Two womer
sat in it and one man. The other mar
was standing at the front turning tn,
crank and impotently cursing. The women
who were elaborately gowned, were jus
drenched.
The wind and rain put quietus on tn,

ever since the primaries and lesser blow

LandIady and J. p. Morgan.

A boarding house is to be opened across the street from J. Pierpont Nor gan's residence in New York The lady who is backing the project an nounces that she will have accomno- dations for about thirty bankers. law yers and doctors, but she will not have room for any workingmen. Whether she proposes to discriminate against workingmen because she thinks Mr. Morgan might object to them. she does not explain.
 We may suppose, however. that she thinks MT. Morgan might be pained if it were necessary for him to see men in overalls and jumpers daily going in and coming out of the house across the way. She cannot perhaps. be blamed for entertaining such an idea But Miss Anne Morgan might be in no wise distressed if the boarding house were to be opened up to workingmen. She has recently shown much interest in workingmen and their welfare.
 In any event, It is hoped that the owners of the house have not taken steps to force MT. Morgan to buy it at an exorbitant price. That would be a sad blow to the dignity of the bankers and lawyers and doctors who expect to board there.-Chicago Record-Herald.

WATER IS DROPPING
 AT SCOTLAND DAM
Necessary to Start up Dynamo at
 Electric Plant to Help Out.

Because of low water at Scotland dam and the consequent lessening of the output of electrical current, Super intendent Rogue found it necessary to start up one of the dynamos at the city's electric station Tuesday. The machine was put on at o'clock and ran with the Uncas Power company up to II o'clock, when the reduced load enabled the power from Scot land to supply the city for the rest of the night. The dynamo will be started up again at this morning, however.
 Willimantic has been supplied by the genera tors at Scotland for about two months past, but last week, 1t is undeFstood. all power to that city was shut off because of the low water. The prospects are that unless there is con- siderable rainfall. the city will have to rely altogether on it's own power plant during the summer. as was the case a year ago.

Many in the city are receiving let ters containing copies of an ancient prayer and requesting that it be copied nine times and sent to as many per sons but directing that no name be signed. It declares that unless it is done some calamity will befaH the person but if it is done the writer will experience some great joy. Needless to say there are but few who are pay ing any attention to it.
