HIGH WATER MARK

Rochester, N. Y, March 2S-The high water record of 1865 has been broken in western New York and from nearly every hamlet and town come tales of damage and suffering on account of the floods.
 In Rochester, the Genesee river over flowed it's banks, last night, and food ed Plymouth avenue and Front street, the latter in the heart of the business section. This morning all available fire engines have been called out to pump the water from the cellars of business places in Main street.
 4 snowfall of three inches last night has checked the rise of the river and little additional damage is feared in this ctiy.
 At Lyons, the river has risen and many families have been forced to leave their homes. Barge canal work, representing thousands of dollars of expenditure has been destroyed.
 The Naples branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad has been compelled to suspend traffic on account of the vashouts. Canandaigua. Seneca and Keuku Lakes are at the highest level ever known.
 The Erie, and the New York Central railroads and trolley lines are badly crippled throughout this section.

CANNOT STOP SHAD FISHING
Attorney General Says Proposed
 Law Is Unconstitutional

Relying to a question of the fish and game committee, Attorney Gen eral Light has prepared opinion in which he holds that it will be un- constitutional to enact a law pro- hibiting the catching of shad in all tributaries of the Connecticut River. The opinion holds that non-naviga- ble rivers and streams are private property and the rights in them can not be restricted, unless due com pensation is made by the state.
 This seems to raise the question whether the law enacted in 1911, which prohibits the taking of shad in any tributary of the Connecticut River below the railroad bridge at Middletown, and of which the propos- ed act is the continuation is not also unconstitutional.

 At Clean, where the damage is esti- mated at $2O0, 900, the crest of the flood was reached at midnight and since then it has subsided at the rate of four inches an hour.
 While washolTts have been numerous and important railroad bridges were carried away and with several hun dred men at work, it was said that main roadbeds can be placed in condi- ton to carry trains within 24 hours.
 Hundreds of highway bridges were destroyed. Normal conditions cannot be restored for several weeks.
