ThaW of the Past Two Days
Has Caused the River to
Rise to an Extent That
Looks Dangerous.
WILL CAUSE TROUBLE
IF WARM SPELL LASTS
Streets of the City Were Small
Streams Yesterday and
Were Avoided by Those Who
Could Do So.

The usually peaceful Whitewater
river is now beginning to get bolster
Gus and if the present warm weather
continues it will do serious damage to
the factories and residences situated
in the lowlands along it's banks, it is
said. The heavy snow fall of last
week was greatly appreciated by all as
long as the cold weather lasted But
now comes the thaw and with the
thaw comes general feeling of alarm
among those who have interests along
the rivers banks.
Perfect streams of water flowed
down the steep banks on both sides Of
the river all day yesterday and last
night the river was up about two feet
said that if the river continues to go
up as rapidly as it did yesterday, the
stream will be a raging torrent with
in few days and property will be en-
dangered.
Ready to Migrate.
The residents of Happy Hollow are
ready to leave at an instant notice
when the water reaches it's high mark
and drives them from their homes.
The warm weather has also put a
damper on the bouyant spirits of the
ice men, whose visions of storing away
large quantities of the frozen water
are rapidly disappearing with each
glance at the thermometer. However
they got in some excellent work while
the cold spell lasted and almost
enough ice has already been cut, it is
said, to supply the demands of Rich
mond next summer.
Some Of the streets in the city were
almost impossible yesterday. The
crossings were flooded and the sew
ers were unable to hold the enormous
amount Of water which was emptied
into them. Boats would have been in
order on many Of the thoroughfares,
and walking was so sloppy that few
persons ventured out, unless required
to do so. The fact that the backbone
of the cold wave has been broken is
very acceptable to the poor people and
the suffering is much less than was
experienced last week at this time.

(American News Service)

(American News Service)
New York, Jan. 1.--With the stoicism
characteristic of him when he was
dealing in millions, Charles w. Morse
former ice ling, todav in ,tke Tombs
made his meagre preparations for leav-
ing for Atlanta There he will begin
his term of ID years in federal prison
for violating the natinoal banking law.
This means a life term" he said to
friend today. Mr.. Morse, if he lives
out the term. will be 20 years old
when released.
To Start Sunday.
1t is probable that Morse will leave
on the 10 o'clock express on the Penn
sylvania Sunday morning. Martin w.
Little ton, his attorney, today said the
time of departure had not been defi-
nitely settled. The dropping of
Morse's fight ends one of the longest
of its kind ever waged in America 1t
was expected that Little ton would ap-
ply for writ of habeas corpus but he
will not press the petition.
After Mrs. Morse accompanies her
husband to Atlanta, she will return to
her girlhood home. There she mar

By the Guinea Pig Process
Health Board Has Long List
Of Diaries Whose Milk Is
Not Standard.
WILL DOCTOR DAVIS
CONTINUE THE WORK?
1t Is Generally Believed Thai
New Health Secretary Ap-
proves Pure Milk Campaign
Two Examples.

BY purchasing milk which dairymen
were delivering to their customers in
this city and feeding this milk to
guinea pigs the health authorities have
in their possession large list of dali
ries whose product is contaminated
with tubercular germs, if the guinea
pig experiments are correct. Gener-
ally this means of testing baccilli lis
regarded as an infallible one.
However, whether the tuberculine
test of dairies will be continued by
the new administration remains to be
determined by the stand taken by the
incoming health board, of which DR..
T. Henry Davis is secretary. DR.. Da-
Wis is an anti-tuberculosis advocate of
the most pronounced type and, tn-
questionably, the Investigations made
by the last administration will be ,ap-
proved and action taken to keep the
dairies in the cleanest and most hea lth-
full state.
Just One Illustration.
The need of a close and rigid inspec-
this city, is said, by DR.. Charles Bond
to be imperative and he cited as an IL
lustration. the finding of the health
authorities in the killing of two cows
belonging to Cornelius Ratliff, the
dairyman which reacted to the tubercu-
line test when administered a few days
ago. These cows were disposed of at
the Red Slaughter house Friday, the
lungs and intestines being closely in
spected. In one of the cows. which
was pronounced as very bad case, the
lungs were practically destroyed by the
tubercular baccilli. The other COW
suffered from glandular tuberculosis,
but in less developed state.
The cows we're Immediately placed in
tankage and cooked into fertilizer.

And After the Annual Banquet
Of the Organization a Cam
paging to Secure the Fund
May Be Started. 4
DEFICIT ESTIMATED
At ABOUT $4,000
Plan of Making Small Assess
ments Against the Members
Has Been Thought o.
Views of Secretary.

One of the more important things to
be undertaken by the Y. NJ. c. A, dur
ing the year will be to wipe out of
existence the debt that has continu-
ously hung over it's head, since its ex-
istence. This is the deficit Of $4,000
incurred in the construction and equip
ment of the association and was orig
inally several thousand dollars more
than the above figure.
Just how this debt may be met. the
association officials can not see. How
ever in their minds the surest way is
to inaugurate a campaign after the an
nual banquet to ne held sometime this
month. and endeavor to get local peo-
pie sufficiently interested in the work
of the association that their financial
support will be given.
Not Entire Success.
In addition to the fact that there is
a deficit in the original expense. it
year was not an entire success-that is
financially-as few associations are in
their first few years of existence. Sec
retary Goodwin. when asked about this
particular point. stated he had not
completed his report for December and
consequently did not know how the as
sociation finances for the year would
foot up. He impressed one. however,
with the opinion that there might be a
deficit.
A deficit for the past year would not
result by any means in the abandon
ing of the association: in fact it would
only add stimulus to the purpose of
the organization. If the association s
future was threatened by any immedi-
ate action, it would be freed from
debt within a weeks time. it is believ-
ed. for several good reasons. Proba-
bly, the more important is that every
one realizes it is an excellent thing for
the young men of the city. adding NOR
al tone and physical development to
their character. AS about 800 mem
bers enjoy its privileges. 1t would be a
comparatively easy matter to assess
each member a nominal sum and ask
for larger subscriptions from wealthier
members, by which system a sum
would be realized sufficient to meet all
demands.
May Adopt Plan.
The financial condition OF the asso-
citation was discussed to some length
by this official. He said that the
S12 900 debt, now hanging over the as
sociation was money borrowed from 10
cal banks. The directors have given
promissory notes. some being for GO
days, others for longer periods. 1t is
made the practice of the directors to
meet the interest as 1t falls due and
then renew the notes. AS long as the
association is able to do this. there
will be no difficulty in obtaining
money.
The financial report for the past
year. when it is compiled. will be Of in
terest. In addition to showing what
the officials claim-that the associa-
tion will eventually be self-sustaining
it will give the people at large an idea
as to the great expense required to
run such an organization.
