Washington, May 22.-Senator
Dixon, the head of the national
Roosevelt headquarters. issued a
statement today practically calling
upon President Taft to withdraw
from the presidential contest.
"Ohio makes the tenth republican
state where the candidacy of Taft
and Roosevelt have been submitted
to the republican voters themselves
for a decision" said the statement.
The verdict has been unanimous in
every state. Taft and his campaign
managers have fully realized that an
adverse verdict in Ohio meant the
death knell to the movement to nom
mate Taft.
THE one wise, patriotic thing to
be done is for Taft and his mana
gers to accept the unanimous verdict
of the republican primary states and
to withdraw from the contest"

The Redlands dam, should it go

probably eight feet, backing 1t up for
miles. If this construction gives
way the rush of waters is certain to
tear out the brick building and ma
chinery and wipe out thousands OF

Commissioner Vedder declared
that this year will set new mark
for high water and he will not prom
ise by any means that the pump
house can be saved.
Late yesterday afternoon the
Hotchkiss bridge across the North

Other bridges are being weakened by
the terrible force of the flood and
several water wheels have been torn
from their fastenings.

Olathe has been temporarily cut
off from her water supply. Late yes
terday afternoon the supply line run
ming under East Dry creek was wash

Ions of water was wasted before the
damage was discovered. 1t will be
some time before the line can be

GUS year since 1903. In the Hotch-
kiss section several farmers will lose
their entire farms, il is predicted, as
the SHOWS are only beginning to
melt and there is no cessation in the
hot weather. near this city John
Groves and Fred Leach will probably
suffer considerably. The water
started in early this morning to cut
at their dikes and soon began to
overflow. They lost everything
three years ago and it seems certain
that this damage will re repeated this
spring.

Grave fears are being held for
Palmer Park. The money which has
been expended on the park will prob
ably be wasted if the river comes

has been forced to cut out street
sprinkling during the high water pc
riod. The necessity for conserving

predictions is based on the weather
conditions in the mountain regions,

The Grand has not risen to seri-
GUS mark so far. although it is some
what higher than the highest mark
reached last spring. This morning
the gauge at the Fifth street bridge
reached 9.3. The highest on record
was in 1909. when on June 9 it was
practically - feet high on the gague.
Considerable trouble is being had

PETER RABBIT GETS ANOTHER
SURPRISE.
By Thornton w. Burgess.

Peter Rabbit sat on Johnny Chuck S
doorstep for five long minutes scratch
ing his head, first with one hand and
then with the other. Johnny Chuck had
disappeared inside his house yawning
sleepily, and as he went he had said that
he was going down to sleep and that he
would see Peter Rabbit in the spring.
Now what did he mean by that?" said
Peter Rabbit to himself Here it isn't
winter yet and it will be a long, long
time before spring. Yet Johnny Chuck

that he had been getting ready for win

hard work for him to walk. What it all
means 1 don't know at all. Is he going
away somewhere? If he isn't why won't

The more Peter thought about it the
a happy thought I'll just run down to
the Smiling Pool and ask Grandfather
Frog. He is very old and very wise
and he will surely know what Johnny
Chuck meant"
So kicking up his heels Peter Rabbit
started down the Lone Little Path,

PRETTY TEACHER CHARGES
WOMEN WITH ASSAULT
Says They Whipped Her Because
She Kept Boy After
School Hours.

READING, Pa. December 2J-The
northern end of Berks county was stir
red yesterday when it became known
that Miss Helen Y. Ruth of Blue Marsh
pretty eighteen-year-old teacher of the
State Hill School. had Mrs George Lash
wife of leading citizen, and Miss Clara
Lash. daughter of Isaac Lash. a promi-
nent resident of Heidelberg township, ar
rested on charges of assault.
1t is alleged that the two women came
to the schoolroom after the regular hours
seized Miss Ruth and whipped and
choked her because she detained Mrs.
Lash's son Raymond to rehearse for the
Christmas entertainment.
Alderman VOLTS warrants were served
on the two defendants, and bail was en-
tered for hearing Saturday morning.
Miss Ruth was reluctant to bring prose-
cution, but upon advice of the members
of the school board the action was in
stituted. Miss Ruth face and body are
severely bruised. The accused women al
lege that the teacher provoked the as
sault.
After the attack Miss Ruth sent a let
ter to the school directors resigning her
position because she is afraid to live in
the neighborhoOd on account of threats
made by these women. The directors
then decided to institute suit through
Miss Ruth.
Miss Ruth is a State Normal School
graduate and her father was formerly
superintendent of the Allentown and
Reading Traction Company. 1t is alleged
Ruth said that they were opposed to
Christmas programs In the schools and
similar fancy doings. because they would
eventually increase the tax rate.

Peter Rabbit pretended not to notice
how grumpy Grandfather Frog was. In
his most polite way he asked: Can you
tell me. Grandfather Frog, where Johnny
Chuck spends the0winter?'
Spends it at home, of course. Don't
bother me with such foolish questions

But if he is going to spend the win

that he would see me in the spring, just
