FURNITURE FLOATS
ON THE HIGH WATER

Colored families living in the small
houses south Of Market street bridge
have been sufferers from the floods
caused by the three breaks in the
south bank Of the Chrisdana river
since Tuesday Of this week.
The families living in Taylors Row
are the greatest sufferers. The water
I'm their houses almost reached the
second floor Their furniture was
floating about and IN many cases
ruined. The water Is now subsiding
and they will be able to get out and
get something to eat.
The New Castle Causeway is food
ed for several squares and it has been
almost impossible to give the people
relief. They have been eating cold
food for several days. and they will
have to abandon their homes until the
river banks are repaired.
At Cranstons Row the water was
three feet deep on the first floor at
high tide. IL is now but one foot deep
and receding. The ground In front
OF the houses also Is covered with the
flood so that II is impossible to geu
out without getting wet feet.
AT Guthrie's Row no water has en-
tered the houses, but there is A
small pond in front of them. which
has made It necessary for the occu-
pants of the houses 70 put planks
from their door sills to high ground
In order 10 get out dry shod.

BY The United Press.
CHICAGO. Sept. 21-Peter S. Gross
cup, presiding judge of the United
States Circuit Court of, Appeals. to-
day withdrew his resignation and pre-
pared to force his enemies into an
open fight to remove him from the
bench.
q will not send my resignation to
President Taft on October l." he said.
Instead l will await the so-called
record of charges against me col
lected by Laurence Richie, former
Secret Service operative. Then / will
make my defense and | will vindicate
myself
Il have learned tl.at.a certain publi-
cation has robbed the office of Mar
shall Sampsell, receiver of the Union
Traction Company. and stolen his pa
pers. am informed Photographic
copies of these papers will be intro
duced in the charges against me"
Sampsell was formerly Grosscups
private secretary and was named by
the judge as receiver.

my personal and private acts. l will
make no defense until the charges
are printed. / deny that my reversal
of the Lands fine of S29,00O,000,

hours before it was handed down.
Il don't propose to quit with a
cloud hanging over me. l do not be-
lieve charges ever will be filed, but /
will be ready to meet them"
For two years, every act Of Judge
Grosscup, official or personal, has been
under the espionage Of Laurence
Richie, for years one of the shrewdest
operatives of the United States Secret
Service. Ritchie in an official state
ment, declares he resigned from the
United States service when he began
spying upon Judge Grosscup. and that
he has been doing his work for -
eastern magazine, the name Of whicn
he withholds He denies categorically
that his espionage of Judge Grosscup
has been at the instigation of United
States officials
For two years It has been an open
secret never denied by Richie. that
the former Secret Service man was
delving deep into Judge Grosscup's
life. A thorough investigation was
made into every. piece Of property
Grosscup owns, together with the
time of its purchase, the amount paid,
and the manner of the transaction.
His court decisions have been sub
jected TO the same inquisitorial inves-
tigation. His private life was watched
/ by lynx eyed men.
This espionage began shortly after
/ Judge Grosscup. as presiding Judge
handed down the famous decision in
which he reversed the finding of Fed
eral Judge Landis, who fined the
Standard Oil S29,OO0,000 for illega
/ rebating. Just what the magazine
that employed Richie hoped to prove
never has been made clear.
Il have known this espionage for
two years, said Judge Grosscup to
day.

In the Court Of General Sessions
this morning jury was drawn to
try the case Of Harry Sedgwick. in
dicted for lottery in baseball pool.
The state, according to Deputy At
torney-General Wolcott. expects to
prove that Andrew Clancy had paid

the twenty-four baseball clubs along
the margin. The six numbers Sc
lected by Clancy we're placed op-
posite clubs for the six days OF the
week. Prizes were awarded to the
winners.
Andrew Clancy. of No. 517 East
Fifth street, testified that last April
he joined the baseball pool conducted
by Sedgwick. Witness paid 30 cents
for ticket After he picked the
numbers and handed them over to
Sedgwick. .Sedgwick. he said. gave
him a slip containing the names of
the baseball clubs and the blanks
for the numbers he furnished. There
was a number opposite each club and
II the players number for that day
corresponded with the number Of the
club that got the greatest number of
runs. the player was a winner AT
the end OF the week prizes were paid
for high and low scores Other
prizes were awarded, the witness
said. When he handed in his mum
bers he did not know the numbers
opposite each club.
Deputy Attorney General Wolcott
asked Clancy II Sedgwick informed
him how his ticket would win prize
James Salisbury. who represented
Sedgwick objected as the ticket given
should bear the promise 10 pay. An
argument followed. during which ref
erence was made TO the Annie Walls
lottery case decision. Deputy Attor-
ney-Generay Wolcott maintaining that
there had been an understanding be-
tween the defendant and Clancy as "a
what money he would be entitled to
under the ticket given Mr.. Salisbury
claimed William j. Murphy testified
he belonged TO the club.
Mr.. Salisbury objected TO Murphy 8
testimony as Sedgwick is under indict-
ment with Murphy as the prosecuting
witness. The objection was overruled
Murphy then explained the slips and
the money prizes.
The state then rested
MIR. Salisbury asked that the jury
be instructed TO return verdict OF
not guilty on the ground that no
promise or guarantee had been given
that the ticket sold would pay any
thing as a winner
The court drew attention to the
provision OF the statute regarding the
sale and disposal under lottery policy
The jury was excused and argument
by counsel took place after which thr
court received decision.

To know of andfuse a food that will

There is a food, Grape-Nuts, for
the particular purpose of restoring
weakened nerves or tagged brain TO
health and strength.
A. business man, of Baltimore, who
made the trial says:
Two years ago my health had be-
come so seriously impaired Il was inn
possible for me to attend to business.
At the least exertion my nerves
would give way and the condition OF
my system allowed me little or no rest
or sleep at night Stomach trouble
soon followed and I could take no
solid food / tried the best tonics
and medicines but they all failed.
Finally Grape-Nuts food was re-
commended and after using il for 10
days / began to feel its good results
and at the end of three months
was again a well man-nerves lre-
stored TO their normal condition,
strength renewed, and I was able to
do any amount of both mental and
physical work without feeling un-
duly fatigued.
