at the detective. One of the shots
took effect, striking the cheek and
passing through and out under the

was not serious. Allen made at
tempt to escape after the shooting but
was prevented.
The affair happened on State street

tional Bank, which is near one of the
main travelled corners of the center.
At first it was thought that the man
had been arrested at the bank but it
was later learned that Allen, who the
police say is addicted to the use of
heroin, was arrested in a saloon. 1t
is said he had been arrested on sus-
picion of having knowledge Of the

FLOOD WATER
AS SEEN BY
STATISTICIAN
Would Fill Tank 87I-5
Miles Long And 10
Miles Wide
Drainage Area of Ohio River Above
Louisville in Rain Means
TTiIIiOnS of Gallons

Louisville, KY, April before the
last of the flood water which fell over
the Ohio valley above Louisville,
March 24-27, has passed under the
bridges here, enough will have rolled
by to have filled with water tank
81 1-S miles long, 10 miles wide and
80 feet in depth, according to the cal
culations Of r. J. Walz, professor Of
meteorology at the local weather bu-
reau. These figures are based on re-
ports showing that the average rain
fall above here was six inches, though
at least double that probably fell in
some Ohio and Indiana localities. To
explain what this amount Of rain
means in quantitive measurement Mr..
Walz has compiled the following sta
tistics:
An inch of rain means q, LBS gallons
of water to the acre, 17,378,74o gallons
to the square mile. Then six inches,
the average amount that fell over the
Ohio river drainage area equals about
1O4, ,225, 600 gallons to the square mile.
The drainage area of the Ohio river
above Louisville is 81, 200 square miles.
Therefore, six inches of rain over this
area means 1850, 600, ,o0o. 600 gallons Of
water. This would fill a lake S72
square miles in area and so feet deep.
The area of Lake Ontario is 6,700
SQUARE miles The weight of one inch
of water over an acre is about 100
tons, over a. square mile 81 1000 tons.
Therefore, the weight OF this great
volume of water, represented by six
inches of rain over the drainage area
above Louisville means SO, 4s4, ,S00. 900

DIVORCES FOR 3
UNHAPPY WIVES

Mary Miller of this city was granted
a divorce in the superior court this
morning from Gustave Miller of West
Brighton, Staten Island. Desertion on
July 5, 1906 was the ground. The
couple were married December 20,
1898. Mrs. MiI1er's maiden name was
Mary Grady.
Ida M. McGrath of this city was
separated from John T. McGrath of
parts unknown. Desertion in 1909
was the cause. Mrs. McGrath said
her husband had a great dislike for
work and refused to support her. She
had to provide for herself. He finally
left her for good and she learned that
he had gone with a circus. The cou-
pie were married April 16, 1903. Mrs.
McGrath's maiden name was Ida
Swink.
Anna M. johnson of NorwaIk got
a decree from Henry M. johnson of
Norwalk. Infidelity was the ground
and Gertrude Parker was named as
correspondent. A witness told how
Johnson and the Parker woman had
lived as man and wife in a house own
ed by the witness. The wife's maiden
name was Anna Ongaro. The couple
were married March IT, 1904.

MILITANTS
ARE USING
CUNPOWDER
Fear Blowing Up of
Railroad Stations
in England
Several Cars SpIintered and Door
Hurled In the Air by Force
of the Explosions

London, April warnings were sent
out today by the directorates of the
railroad systems throughout the Unit
ed Kingdom to the effect that mill
tant suffragettes had threatened to
burn stations in various parts of the
country. Patrols were ordered to be
organized at all stations and in the
tunnels.
Some empty trains were ghleatly
damaged by explosives at Lockport,
Creshire, in the course of the night
and sufragettes are suspected Of hav-
ing committed the outrage.
A canister of explosives had been
placed under a seat in one of the cars
with a quantity of fire lighter \satur-
ated with resin and oil. Thej force
of the explosion splintered the sides
of several cars, the doors being hurled
long distances.
There was also an attempt during
the night to blow up Oxted Station,
IN Surrey, the London, Brighton &
South Coast Railway, but the dam
age was inconsiderable, only the win
dows and doors OF a lavatory being
shattered A travelling basket was
found in the lavatory containing
clock timed to go OF at a. m, and
some cans of petrol. A fuse had peen
set into a small package of gunpowder
which evidently exploded without ig
hitting the petrol A revolver was
found outside the lavatory which ap-
DarentIy had been dropped during
hurried flight.

ASKS $1,000 DAMAGES FOR
LOST MAP SHOWING MARK
TWAIN'S PROPERTY LINES

An ancient map that showed the
boundaries of the late Mark Twain s
property in Redding, is the cause of a
suit brought by Joel F. Selleck, Jr.,
of this city against Harry A Louns-
bury of Redding. 1t is alleged that
on September 20, 1910, SelIeck loan
ed map to Lounsbury. This was an
ancient document which had been in
possession of the plaintiffs ancestors
prior to 1854. 1t was valuable be-
cause it indicated the boundaries on
property in Readings.
Selleck said he asked Lounsbury for
the return of the map but was un-
able to obtain it. He then brought
suit for $1,000 damages. Deputy
Sheriff Weller who served the papers,
attached property in Redding. The
action is returnabIe to the May term,

EMERSON GIRLS
CASE TAKEN UP
BY Sec. BRYAN

Washington, April 4-OhciaIs at the
state department, today, said the at
titude ofthe United States in the
case of Miss zelie Emerson, the Amer
lean militant suffragette imprisoned
in. London embassy which was or
dered to investigate charges that the
young woman had been subjected to
cruel treatment
Secretary Bryan will immedia tely
take up with Chandler Anderson. the
counsellor of the department., the
question of what is to bedone. Prac-
tically there are no precedents bear
ing closely upon 1t, the nearest being
the Maybrick case
Secretary Bryan wishes first to es-
tablish the complete regularity of the.
judicial proceedings in the case OF
Miss Emerson and if he follows the
ordinary course and ascertains that
there has been no discrimination
against the woman on account of her
nationality, and that she has not
been treated in a cruel and inhuman
mann%c. forbidden by the principles
of the law common to all nations, he
likewise probably will confine him
self to the exercise of his functions in
an unofficial way to secure an ameli-
GRAFTON of Miss Emereon's condition.

MAKES OFFER TO
TURN RAILROAD
OVER To STATE

Providence, R. L, April 4-President
Chamberlain, of the Grand Trunk
Railway, in a letter received by GOV.
Pothier, today, offers to turn over
to the State of Rhode Island the
Southern New England railroad as it
now stands as a gift on the condition
the state shall complete the road
and operate it in one of two ways
which the writer suggests.
The alternatives of operation are
described as follows:
"First-If the state desires to oper-
ate the railroad we will grant rum
ming rights on reasonable terms over
the New London Northern from Pal
mer to Brattleboro, VT, so as to make
the line sufficiently long to constitute
an operating division; and we will
also make a traffic agreement be-
tween the Central Vermont and the
state owned railroad for a division
of through rates on a mileage base
with a reasonable additional allow
ance for terminal charges, or second,
+'The Central Vermont Will lease the
state owned railroad for a rental
equivalent to five per cent. interest on
the actual cost to the state of COM
pIeting the whole line"
Coupled with this offer is the state
ment that the line cannot be COM
p1eted by the company unless the
state becomes the second guarantor of
the necessary bonds and that if the
state is unwilling to accept the road
as gift and complete it the con-
tractors will remove their apparatus
and the line will be definitely aband-
oned about the middle of the present
month.
Mr.. Chamberlain says that nearly
two and a half million dollars already
has been expended on the line and
that its completion will require sew
era1 millions more than was originally
The services of the Grand Trunk
engineers are rendered to the state
which would receive also all plans,
surveys and other data used by the
company.
If the state does not wish to accept
the offer it is asked to consider the
earliest request to guarantee the COM
panys bonds.

corner She ran after him and they
vent back to Norwalk where he left
her
The couple were married in April,
