Three Kentucky Counties Are Swept
by Storm and FIood-Deaths
May Reach Forty.

Saylersville, Ky.-Fifteen people
are known to be dead, fifteen addition
al are reported as having died and
fully forty are missing as the result
of a cloudburst in Magofin, Floyd
and Knott counties, Ky, late Tuesday
Twelve bodies of the known dead
have been secured by the workmen in
Saylersville and the towns affected by
the terrible cloudburst When late
reports came in from sections lying
near Saylersville, it was estimated
by the people here that fully forty
have been killed in the foods and that
forty are missing from their homes.
Saylersville is the county seat of
Magoffin county which is in eastern
Kentucky. There are no railroads
running to the town and little else
than farming is done in this vicinity.
Floyd and Knott counties lie adjacent
to this county and have several small
towns lying directly on the Licking
river and large creeks which were af-
fected greatly by the downpour. 1t
has been raining in this section for
three days and the rivers and streams
were all full of water when the down
pour from the cloudburst broke over
this section. Instantly many houses
in this section were carried from their
foundations and were swept into the
streams.
Many of the people in these three
counties are homeless. The property
damage is estimated to be fully $780,
900 and the losses in stocks and grains
will go to even higher figures.

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICANS
German Campaign of SANDER Against

Berlin.-The long and venomous
campaign waged by German newspa-
pers and rival industrial interests
against one of the German branches
Of the Standard Oil conpany--the
Deutsche Vacuum Oil company--has
just been brought to victorious end
for the Americans involved
well-known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such series of
attacks on the American graft meth
DDS" alleged to have been practised
by the vacuum company in the con-
duct of its German business that the
pubic prosecutor of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inves-
ugat1on with view to eventual in
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation, especially
OF the work of E. L. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager of the German COM
pany's sales department, and an
nouDoes that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence Of anything warranting
prosecution was found against Mr..
Quarles, and the costs of the entire in

The result of the investigation con-
st1tutes notable triumph for Amer

RATES ARE LOWERED
COMMERCE COMMISSION TAKES
ACTION IN CASES AFFECTING
ENTIRE COUNTRY.
SOME REDUCTIONS q HALF
Shippers of Spokane and Reno Win
in Contest Against Paying Tariffs
to Coast and Back to Destina-
ton.

decentralization in class
and commodities on all shipments
west from Chicago to the Pacific
coast were ordered Wednesday by the
interstate commerce commission.
The commission decided that the cap
itaI invested in railroad property and
betterments did not justify the adj
vance in rates to the point marked in
the new schedules filed by the rail-
roads.
The decisions are in what are
known popularity as the Pacific coast
cases. These cases were heard last
autumn by the commission on its six
weeks trip to the Pacific coast and
intermountain territory and had been
under consideration ever since then.
In every instance reductions in the
existing rates were made.
The commission found a remark
able rate situation on the Pacific
coast, and even a more remarkable
one in intermOuntain territory. This is
true especially of the rates to and
from Spokane, Wash, and Reno, New.
The Spokane rate issue had been be-
fore the commission in one form or
another for several years. The ship
pers of that city complained insistent,
ly OF the tariffs on freight classes and
commodities from eastern points of
origin, because they were required to
pay the Pacific coast terminal plus the
local rates back to Spokane from
those terminals, although the freight
was discharged at Spokane on the
western trip.
Substantially the same state of facts
existed at Reno and other Nevada
points, which had to pay the rates to
San Francisco and the back haul local
rates from San Francisco or Sacra-
mento to destination. These local
rates in the majority of instances
amounted to two-fifths or more of the
entire rate from eastern points of
origin to Pacific coast terminals.
The decisions of the commission af-
feet all class and commodity rates be
tween eastern points and the far west
No complaint was made of the rates
of the eastern lines between Atlantic
points and Mississippi river transfers
and all of the reductions ordered by
the commission affect rates from Mis-
sissippi and Missouri river transfers
to Pacific coast terminals and inter
mountain territorial points.
In a case involving class freight
rates from eastern territory to Phoe-
nix, Ariz, the commission held the
rates to be unjust and unreasonable
and ordered reductions of approx
mately 80 per cent

RAILROADS GAIN A VlCTOF. (
Commerce Commission Grant Permis-
sion to Advance Grain Rates East
of Buffalo.

Washington.-Ann was
made by the interstate commerce COM
mission Thursday that it will not sus-
pend official classification &c, involving
more than 5000 items, which was filed
to become effective July l. This is
regarded as a victory for the rail-
roads
Permission was granted by the COM
mission to railroads operating out of
Buffalo to advance rates on flour and
other wheat products one cent hun
dred pounds to eastern destinations.
For nearly a month the commission
has been overwhelmed with protests
against the proposed new classified
ton, many shippers seemed to believe
that the Encouragement Of freight clas-
sificatication would result in largely
increased rates. The subject was con-
sidered carefully by the commission,
a thorough and comprehensive check
being prepared on the entire classif1-
cation. In the items and ratings in
yolved there are only ffty-eight
changes, of which twenty-eight are re-
auctions and thirty advances, the lat
ter including twelve increases in car
load weights.

SENATOR ]. ". DANIEL DEAD
OLDEST DEMOCRAT IN SENATE
DIES AT LYNCHsURG.
Has Third Paraiytlc Stroke, but Cause
of Death Was Cerebral
Hemorrhage.

Lynchburg, Va. - John w. Dan
lei. senior senator from Virginia, died
at the Lynchburg sanitarium Wednes-
day night, his death being due to a
recurrence of paralysis. The immedi-
ate cause of his death was cerebral
hemorrhage.
This was Senator Daniels third
paralytic stroke. He suffered the first
last fall while in Philadelphia and the
second in Daytona, Fla, during the
winter, having gone to Florida to re-
cuperate. He had not been in Wash
ington for several months. Senator
Daniel was sixty-seven years old.
With Senator Daniel were his wife
and his son, Edward M. Daniel, and
his daughter, Mrs. Fred Harper, whose
husband, also here, Is Senator Daniels
law partner.
The death of Senator John Warwick
Daniel removes the oldest of the
Democratic senators in point of serv-
ice. Of the entire list he was the only
one who could be said to belong to
the old regime. And, as he was the
Oldest in service, he was one of the
most conspicuous in popular favor.
New Orleans.-Samuel Douglas Nc
Emery, United States senator from
Louisiana, suddenly expired at his
home here Tuesday from an attack of
acute indigestion.
The senator arrived here Monday
from Washington. He was seventy
three years old, and death was super
induced by old age.
The senator is survived by his wife,
who was before marriage Miss Eliza
beth Phillips of Monroe, Pa; his
daughter, Mrs Warren B. Parker, and
his two sons, Charles P McEnsry and
DR.. Douglas w. McEnery of Wash
ington.
In all probability Gov. Jared Y.
Sanders will be chosen by the Louis
lana legislature, now in session, as
Senator McFnery's successor. 1t is
thought that the leading figures in
state politics have figured upon the
aged senator's passing for some time,
but it was not anticipated exactly at
this juncture.

CLEAN SWEEP FOR HARVARD
Crews Defeat Yale Boats in Three
Shell Races on Thames
River.

New London.-Harvard's day of vic

mated with success in the varsity
eight
With her stroke oar all but col
lapsed, Yale crossed the line at the
New London bridge four lengths be-
hind the Cambridge crew.
For three and half miles the shells
sped down the river almost abreast,
first one and then another forging
slightly ahead. Harvard was nearly a
length ahead at the two-mile point
and her bow showed in front for the
greater part of the way, but time and
again gallant squirt brought the New
Haven shell on even terms. Not until
the boats entered the final quarter
mile stretch did the Crimson look like
a winner.
Harvard's victories were the most
decisive that ever marked the open
ing of her annual rowing regatta with
Yale The Crimson freshman eight
cared crew beat the youngsters from
New Haven by three lengths, and the
Harvard varsity four bettered this
performance little later by rowing
away from Yale in the last eighth
mile of a surprising race and finish
ing four lengths in the lead.
