ed that before tonight the guage read

Another cause for the standstill was
said to be due to the vast volume Of
water now flowing into the lowlands OF
the drainage districts. 1t was reported
that the water is flowing over the Big

tance Of three-fourths of mile.
Those who are looking out FOR the

No Train Service.
Train service into the city had not
been resumed early today. Only WORK

these was rapidly placed on the levees

EXPRESS COMPANIES HIT.
Parcels Post Law Causes Per Cent
Decrease Of Revenues.

Washington, April 2.-Express COM
panies OF the country have been hie
hard by the operation of the new par
cei post system. according to state
ments submitted to the interstate
commerce commission by counsel foc
the companies In their final argu-
ments against the reduction in express
rates proposed by the commission.
1t was declared that the companies
have suffered a loss approximating 70
per cent In small package business--a
loss which amounts to about 6 per
cent of the gross revenues of the COM
panies.
Walker d. Hines asserted that for
tho five companies he represented
the Adams. American. United States,
Southern and Wells-F'argo application
of the proposed rates to present busi-
ness would reduce revenues about *26,-
600. 900 a year, or 6.S5 cents on every
dollars worth of business done. Such
n reduction in revenues. he said. wouia
be absolutely destructive.
He maintained, also. that the formu-
la made rates would disturb seriously
business conditions In large centers
such as New York and Chicago, ny
forcing a readjustment OF competitive
business conditions.
B. r. Fairchild. of the New York
Chamber OF Commerce, for the express
shippers. attacked Mr.. Hines argu-
ment as purely theoretical and hypo-
thetical." and insisted that the pro-
posed rates would yield an ample rev.
enue to the express companies. He
maintained also, that the present al-
lowances made by the express CONF
panies to the railroads for transporta-
tiuo service were excessive.

MORGAN .Foreca.ted Death

Berlin. April 2.-Dr. Wilhelm eBode,
general director Of the Royal museums
Of Prussia, in an article published here
says that the late ]. Pierpont Morgan
expected his death and urged him CDR.
Bode) in 1913 to pay a visit to New
York in 1914 for the opening Of the new
wing Of the Metropolitan museum,
saying that he would not live to be
present. .e.h
'tMr. Morgan" says DR.. Bode. "was
great collector of highly original type.
but he was not an expert. He realized
this. altho he was unwilling to admit It..
In spite of this fact he was rarely de-
ceived, as he chose his agents and ad-
visors WELL"
HE habitually deferred payment for
several months in case fraud should be
developed in his transactions. Dealers
had such wholesome fear Of losing a
good customer that they did not dare
to try to pass off fraudulent or infer
ior articles on him, altho this might
have been easy.
"Mr. Morgan was responsible Tor the
three-fold or four-fold increase in the
prices Of art objects, but also for the
awakening Of enthusiasm in America
for art collecting"
DR.. Bode ranks the collections of Mr.
Morgan with those Of the greatest mu-
seums of Europe.
