FLOODS
 SWEEPS
 MOHAWK
RayageS Without Parallel in Valley. Yet No Water for Drinking or
 Cooking Purposes.
Physicians Obliged to Use Rafts and Rowboats in Making Calls on
 Countless Sick.
Especial from United Press. )

Utica, March 2.-Struggling helpless 1y against the .ravages of a flood that is without parallel in the history of the Mohawk valley, the thousands of persons in the village of Herkimer and the immediate vicinity are on the verge of despair. The large major ity of the inhabitants are without light CT heat, the water works system is out of commission, provisions are running low, while the spectre of fever hovers over the community. Hope was tenn port that the waters had commenced to suhside. but this belief subsequent ble was made to alleviate the suffer 1ng- Gangs of men, rushed to Herki- mer by the State authorities, are en- deavoring this afternoon to relieve the in the west Canada Creek.
 More than two tons Of dynamite have been exploded under this gorge during the past 36 hours but without preciable effects. This forenoon all the dynamite within 100 miles of Herk- inner had been requisitioned for final attempt to break up the gorge. The State authorities may dynamite the long bridge on the New York Central Railroad locaRd east of the village.
 The State department of health and public works officials say the ice will not pass out until a. large opening is made near that point. There is a lack of, drinking water in the village and the State officials are in favor of this step in 'order that an opportun- ity may be given the waters to recede from the pumping station.
 The feature of the flood which is causing the greatest suffering is the lack of water for drinking and cooking g purposes. The water works system is crippled and it is necessary to haul such supplies as are obtainable many miles.
 Physicians are making calls in row boats and on rafts, but it is absolute iy impossible to reach some of those who are i'll, and there are p cases of pneumonia alone to care for. This in dicates the extent of the sickness de- veloping in Herlimer as a result of the flood.
 A conservative estimate of the dam places it at $500, GOO.
 Albany. March 2.-Reports received here today from Northern New York, especially along the tributaries of the Hudson river. indicate that the flood is rising rapidly and if the thaw con- tinues immense amount of water will be poured into the Hudson with in the next "A hours. Continued show CTS and warm weather have caused the snow to melt rapidly and the river is rising slowly.
 Pittsburg, March 2.-The Allegheny river is receding today and it is be- 1ieved here that all danger of an over flow is over. The crest of the flood was reached late yesterday when a stage of little over 22 feet was record ed. Little damage was done here.

BAD PREDICTION FOR ROOSEVELT
 AND HIS PARTY
NOW IN WASHINGTON, STATES THE EX-PRESIDENT WILL BE STRICKEN WITH FEVER OR SLEEPING SICKNESS WHEN iIE GETS BACK TO CIVILIZATION
Especial from United Press.o

(SpecIal OI1Ced Gr0SS.1
 Washington, March 2-Friends of ex-President Roosevelt in Washington are somewhat worried over a state
 ment made by Captain Fritz Duquesne, noted African lion hunter that 'Bwana Tumbo'' and the other members of his party are very likely to be taken down with the dread sleeping sickness, or the African fever when they get back to civilization.
 The news cabled from Africa yes terday that Dr. Roderick Prosch, a missionary, had been stricken with fever and died within few hours af- ter 1unching with Colonel Roosevelt, prompted Duquesne's prediction. Du- quesne is generally recognized as an authority on Africa. He is a resident of German East Africa, a Boer war hero and was originally selected by
 expedition. Duquesne is in the Uni
 ted States trying to interest wealthy men in a scheme to stock American reserves with African game.
 t@The Roosevelt expedition has been in more than a score of zones of the
 sleeping sickness '' said Duquesne,
 'tand it is highly probable that every member of the party now has the vii rus in his veins. It may not develop until they reach Europe or even Amer ica- It is positively dangerous to aI- turn to this country without having a bacteriolog1ca1 examination of their blood.
 eff either the African fever or the Sleeping sickness should break out in the party after their arrival in this
 country it would spread everywhere. am forced to believe. that the Roose- welt party must be infected with either one of these ma1adies. If it escapes it will be the only example of record
 of an African hunting party getting off scot free. Mark my word, if the party gets to Europe either African fever or the Sleeping sickness will hrealx O11f among them ''

FILED WITH MANY
 CORPORATE TAX STATEMENTS

Many of the leading manufacturers of Bridgeport who filed statements showing the gross and net incomes of the corporations and other facts de- manded by the corporation tax law, did so under protest. The object of the protest is to prevent any payment which may subsequently, be made, from being a voluntary payment. The effect of the protest will be to enable the recovery of the tax in case the law is hereafter found to be unconstitu- tional.

Moans of Mortals Buried Beneath Mountains of Snow Spur Rescurers to Renewed Efforts
Railroad Express that Was Swept Into Ravine By Awful Avalanche Carried Upwards of 100 Passen- gers-Other Casualties In Far West.

Seattle, March 2.-Twenty-thr are known to be dead and 25 are still miss ing following the sweeping into the depths below the entrance Co the Cas- sade Tunnel of two trains the Great Northern Railway by an ava lanche of snow. The big relief par ties that were sent out from Yelling ton, the nearest point to the disaster, worked all night and are struggling with the snow today, spurred to fran those beneath the debris. indicating that at least some of the victims are still alive.
 The work of rescue is most danger ous. The snow on the mountain sides above is still melting and occasionally large quantities become dislodged and give way with a boom that can be heard for miles and sends terror to the dauntless workers striving with every ounce of strength to dig through rock, trees and snow.
 The Spokane express, one of the trains swept down, is supposed to have carried between 50 and 150 pasSen gers. The mail train carried passengers. From the fact that the trains had been stalled for some time before the acci- dent and that snow slides are common in the cascades it is thought possible that many passengers had left the train. Reports from the west today indicate that conditions in Montana and other western States are growing worse.
