WATER IN
UPPER SEINE
GOING DOWN

Paris, Jan. 28.-Reports received
today from the upper Seine and
Marne rivers say that the people
wept with JOY when informed that
the flood had reached its highest
point and the waters were receding,
Town criers passed through the
streets announcing the joyful news
through megaphOnes, and drum
corps were formed to celebrate the
occasion. Hundreds Of flood suffer
ers in the various little towns fell in
line behind the drum corps and
marched in triumphant procession
singing the "Marseillaise.
In all the river country above
Paris, nearly the entire population
turned out to celebrate the passing of
the crest of the flood
The full extent of the damage in
the rural districts and in the small
towns cannot be determined as yet,
as the people in those sections have
thrown themselves Historically into
the demonstration.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 28.-A
sensation was caused at the session
of the Ballinger investigation COM
mittee today when Attorney Bran
deis, representing T. r. CLAWS,
charged definitely that important
documents were omitted from the
record upon which President Taft
based his exoneration of the secre-
tary of the interior. Brandeis fol-
lowed this statement with the pre-
sentation of long list of documents
which he alleged were not included
in the statements presented to Presi-
dent Taft. The attorney asserted
that Ballinger had more than a
formal knowledge of the Cunning
ham Alaska coal land cases, as was
stated by Attorney-General Wicker
sham, and charged that Ballinger, as
matter of fact, was fully acquainted
with the whole matter. The Wicker
sham statement referred to was
made in the report OF the attorney
general on his investigation of the
charges against Ballinger
Washington, Jan. 2S.-That the
recent decision of Judge Sanford, Of
Seattle, in a coal land case, in which
certain lands reverted to the govern
ment because they had been obtained
by an illegal combination, will be
considered by the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy investigation commission
was indicated by Senator Nelson to-
day. Nelson said that he had wired
for a full text of the courts decision.
Louis R. CLAWS, former chief of
the field division of the land Office, re-
sumed the stand today, and Attor-
ney Brandeis presented a long list
of documents which he desired to
have submitted as evidence.
CLAWS presented a number of let
ters concerning the Alaskan coal land
cases, which are among the indirect
causes of the complaint
During the morning session sub
ponaes were requested by counsel for
CLAWS for the following persons to
give testimony regarding the Cum
ningham and Wilson claims:
Special Agent Horace T. Jones, of
Portland, Ore; Arthur R. Bowman,
of Cheyenne, Wyo.; Andrew Kenne-
dy of Seattle, Wash; Henry Hoyt,
encouragement, of Porto Rico, and
c. p. Richardson, of Seattle, Wash.
The committee was asked to Sc
cure several hundred kilograms, let
ters and documents bearing in vari-
GUS ways upon the cases involved,
and tending to substantiate CLAWS
testimony.
Attorney Brandeis offered de-
tailed explanation of the correspond
ence which he desired to introduce,
when Senator Sutherland objected,
saying;
Mr.. Chairman, think we are get
ting more evidence out of the coun-
sci than out of the witness"
Senator Nelson, the chairman,
then directed CLAWS to proceed with
his testimony, and notified Brandeis
that he would be limited to the ask
ing of questions.
1t was developed that CLAWS and
Hoyt had discussed Ballingers ac-
ions in changing the rules and the
regulations of the land office, CLAWS
stating that "we thought it was pc
,uliar."
CLAWS testified that he told Bal
niger that most of the Alaskan cou
entries, in his opinion, could be caa-
'elled, because many of the promo
lent men interested had formed a
'ool. The witness stated that Bal

Involves Old Land Grant

This land is all tide land and Is
situated on Alsea, Yaquina and Siletz
bays and it was granted to the Will
lamette Valley & Coast Railroad
company in 1874 on condition that
the company should construct a line
of railroad within a certain desi8-
mated period of time. The railroad
was constructed and the governor OF
the state notified of it's completion
and upon the performance of these
acts it is contended by the company
that it had complied with its part CT
the contract and that the title of
the land vested in it; and should it
be successful in the suit it will mean
that it will have full control Of
these bays and the coast for miles
and that not a dock or a wharf or
any commerce can be carried on
without the company's sanction anil
it would have what might be termed
a monopoly upon all of the COM
merce so far as this part of the
coast is concerned.

Some time ago an application was
made for a part of this land for the
purpose of building docks and
wharves upon it, but it could not be

state of Oregon and the railroad
company and the suit was com

tanning which is the legal owner CT
it. At the last session of the legis-
lature an act was passed repeating
the act granting this land to the
railroad company but the railroad
company contends that it's title had
already vested in it and therefore
the act is of no effect. The state on

this latter claim upon the fact that
the land is composed of ordinary
low and high tide land and that it
therefore belongs to the sovereignty
Of the state of Oregon and that it
holds it in trust for its people for
he purpose of fisheries, navigation
and commerce and that the legisla~
.ure of 1874 had no authority to
convey the land to any for any

Another Canteen Experiment.

The experience of the Steel
Trusts model city of Gary has
duplicated that of the United
States Army in the case of the
abolished canteen. Gary start
ed with closely regulated drink
ing places, but Prohibitionists
went to work and shut them all
up. Instantly scores of low dives
sprang up on the outskirts of
the model town and Gary was far
worse off than it was with we'll
regulated liquor dispensaries with
In its limits. Now it is planned
to restore the sale of light liq-
uors.
This is precisely what happen
ed when the army canteen was
abolished. Vile groggeries near
the army posts took the place
of the cauteen. Intemperance
and disease among the soldiers
increased and of course, so did
assertions and courtmartials.
These are two fair illustrations of
the futility of trying to reform
human nature by prohibition, and
of the misery that can be caused
by the misguided efforts of ex-
cellent folk whose intentions are
good.-New York Press.
