a boomerang today, and his own
weapon knocked him cold.
The catastrophe occurred just after

Jerome was in a hurry. He did not
want the habeas corpus writ applied

been applied for, he wanted the matter

Not so the defense. It's initial move
was to ask for q continuance Of the

 ernOr:
 r Albany, N. Y., Oct. i, 1913. l. My dear MT. Phelps Many
 thanks for your very kind letter.
 Your words of encouragement give me heart to go on with the struggle I am making to resist the seizure of the State of New York by those who have footed,
 and would prostitute, it's govern ment for private gain. l When MT. Murphy and his allies
 found out they could not make a
 tool of me, they blocked me every step toward good government. Of course, these men could de- feat my appointments Co this end; they could strangle my zee ommendations for legislature like direct nominations; they could shut off my funds for g.att Investigations; and they could obstruct in many ways my efforts for honest government. But one thin they could not stop, and that is the machinery of justice which 1 had set in motion against the criminals throughout the slate who have robbed the taxpayers of millions and millions of dollars. There was one way to prevent me from sending thcs" thieves to the penitentiary, and that way was to impeach me and get me out of my office. So the boss in desperation employed a band of ,adventurerS and criminals to bring basclcss charges against me upon which It was thought l could be railroaded out of office with the consent of the recreant legislators owned and controlled by Mr. Murphy and the powerful interests behind him.
 Much of the plot has been re- vealed. The rest of it will be laid bare before grand jurieS. The political conspiracy to de- stroy me will falI, and the con spirators will be p,nislfrd if tn" taxpayers wilt stand hy m" in my efforts to serve thrlm.

that neither Mr.. Borden nor the family

HEAVY RAINS CAUSE
SPECIAL FLOOD BULLETINS

New Orleans. La, April 25.-Exces-
sive rains in the lower Mississippi
valley yesterday and last night caused
the local weather bureau today to is
sue another special flood bulletin, pre-
dieting a still higher stage in the Mis-
sissippi river at Natchez than previous
~ forecast Todays bulletin forecast
calls for a stage of 54.5 feet at Natchez.
or more than three feet above last
years high record.
The situation in the fifth Louisiana
district, on the west side of the river
between Lake Providence and the Red
river landing, is admittedly grave. The
water all along this stretch is from
to tenths of a foot higher than ever
before known and the weather bureau
forecast calls for an additional rise OF
two feet The farmers are moving
their live stock to the hills across the
river in Mississippi and many families
are moving out.
Previous maximum predictions for
points on the river south OF Natchez
were not increased. The new forecast
follows: Heavy rains of the past q
hours have more than offset the fall
in the river expected to result from
the crevasse near Mayersville, Miss,
and II the remaining levees hold, the
water now in sight indicates 54.5 feet

Remy. La, April 25.-Three thousand
men tonight are fighting the rising
Mississippi, and trying TO strengthen
the new leyee to Withstand the waters
One hundred thousand sand bags and
other material arrived here on a special
train and boats today. The old Ieyee
continued caving and a break is con-
sidered inevitable.
Tonight seven hundred feet of the
new leyee lacked two feet Of being
as high as the water in the river. The
work will continue in hopes of build
ing up in time TO prevent a break.
People between here and New Or
leans have been warned to be ready
TO leave hurriedIy at any tim. The
engineers tonight said the water will
go no nearer than twenty miles of New
Orleans.
RAILROADS CUT OFF.
The Frisco railroad between Baton
Rouge and Opelousas and the Southern
Pacific branch between Baton Rouge
and La Fayette will be cut by the flood
waters and the Texas and Pacific be-
tween Plaquemine and Melville viii be
endangered. The towns of Latannias
Bowie, Iivonia. I.ottie and Fordoche
probably will be inundated. but the
damage will not be heavy in the
stretch south of these places as the
territory is composel largely of swamp
lands. The crevasse at Krotz Springs
is expected to relieve all danger of
floodiEg Melville and other towns on
the upper Atchafalaye whafc breaks
have been expected for several days
past. The gauge at Melville at mid
night, was al feet. two-tenths of
foot above the previous high record.
AS a result OF the crevasse the river
fell more than half a foot here be-
tween midnight and a. m, when the
gauge registered AIS feet.

Washington, April 25.-An unusual

Although American Charge Williams
