Storm Abating After Enormous
Damage by Floods in Europe.

Brussels, Jan. 1.-THE temperature
dropped suddenly 20 degrees today
converting the torrential rain into a
stiff blizzard. The cold weather has
had a beneficial effect on the flood
situation, and the waters are not fall
ing as rapidly as they rose. The dan
ger, temporarily at least, is considered
over, although later the melting
SHOWS are likely to cause fresh in
undations.
The people are beginning to realize
the enormous losses caused by the
flood. The subsistence of the Vesdre
river has left deep coat of mud up
on thousands of houses. Firemen
everywhere are pumping out cellars
and spraying disenfectants to prevent
an epidemic. Miles of roadways have
been washed out. Paved sidewalks
have disappeared and hundreds of
houses, the foundations of which
have been undermined, threaten to
collapse. Streets are strewn with the
bodies of cattle, dogs and cats.

Pass Christian, Miss. Jan. n-After
nearly three weeks of rest and recreation
at O. little cottage near the gulf coast
here, President Wilson tonight bade rare
well to the Southland. He told Mayor
Sausie and a crowd of citizens4who gath
cred at the station to bid him good speed
that he had enjoyed his vacation, had
benefited greatly by the change OF ell
mate and had obtained exactly the rest
he had desired. The President and his
family boarded their car early in the eve
ming and retired.
The party will arrive in Washington
Tuesday,
President Wilson goes back to the cap
ital with his mind virtually made up on
a number of important questions, but MS
decisions will not crystalline Until he con-
fers with Democratic leaders in C7fgress.
The President has written a rough draft
of his message on trust reform, but Will
not send it to the printer or arrange for
it's delivery until he has talked it over
with Attorney General McReynolds, other
members of his cabinet and the Congress
sionai committees that will be in charge
of trust legislation.
1t is believed the President also has
completed tentative list of men for the
Federal Reserve Board, but he will not
announce his selections until after fur
ther conferences in Washington.
The Chief Executive has done great
amount of work between his games OF
golf, his long motor rides and his e1-
tended periods of rest. He has mapped
out the course of his administration for
the remaining months of the present ses-
sion of Congress. With the exception Of
John Lind his personal representative in
Mexico, the President has seen absolute
ly no one on business.

England Steps in--
Demand on Mexico.

Mexico City. Jan. 1.-THE interrupt
ton of traffic between the Mexican
! capital and Vera Cruz by the cutting
of the Mexican Railway last night by
the rebels and the attack on n freight
train with the consequent issolation
the the American charge d'affaires,
Nelson o'Shaughnessy at a wayside
station, caused the British minister,
Sir Lionel Garden, to make personal
representations to President Huerta te-
day regarding the better policing OF
that line, which is British property
and revived speculation in the capital
as tc how far the British government
would go in protecting the property Of
it's nationals.
The attack was the first serious effort
that the rebels have made to interfere
with traffic between the capital and
Vera Cruz. but their work was confin-
ed to ,ooting and to burning oil cars.
Charge O'Shaughnessy and Lis wife
were on a train which left Vera Cruz
this morning. This train was stopped
at Orizaba, where it remained all day,
while the work of clearing the tracks
of the burned cars was in progress.
The charge had expected to arrive here
before morning.
In the concession granted to the Eng
issh builders of the Mexican Railway
or5 than & yeSrs ago, it was provid-
ed they should at any time have the
sight to police the property with Bris-
ish troops. The management of this
railway and many members of the
British colony had long contended the
probability OF the activity of result
ing in the landing of troops.
Between here and Vera Cruz there
are scattered a few soldiers guarding
the more important bridges. Pilot
trains each carrying so soldiers, run
ahead ct all passenger trains, but army
men admit that these precautions will
not interfere with any plans the reb-
els may have for cutting the line.
President Huerta appeared not to be
greatly worried by the incident He at
tended a bull fightAthis afternoon.
The President was given a tremen-
dous ovation when he entered the ann
phitiieeter. The greatest demonstra-
tion eor many weeks was that of the
Catholics to the number of 1000, who
marched through the principal streets
today TO the cathedral, where prayers
We're offered for the restoration OF
peace. Contrasting with this was a
smaller but more dramatic procession
In the early hours of the morning,
when prisoners were herded through
the streets from Belem prison to the
soldiers barracks, where they were
placed in the ranks.
The wives, mothers and sweethearts
of these men trudged beside them,
screaming invectives against Huerta in
spite of the soldier guard.

o'sHAuoHNEssY HELD UP.
American Charge d'affaires Delayed on
His Return to Mexico City.

Vera Cruz. Jan, 1.-THE American
charge d'affaires, Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, who has been in conference here
with John Lind. President Wilson's
special envoy and Rear Admiral
Fletcher for several days. left Vera
Cruz today on special car for the
Mexican capital. He was halted at
Orizaba by break in the Mexican
Railway, which was cut last night by
rebels. The rebels captured and burn
ed train Of oil cars.
The regular train which left here
late last night for Mexico City. was
unable to proceed. Charge oShaugh-
messy decided to venture the trip to
the capital. 1t lis believed he will re-
main at Orizaha until the line is re-
opened.
The Inter-oceanic Railroad, the 9TH
er line between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz, was also cut. The management
Of that road and of the Mexican Rail-
way expected to make repairs for the
early resumption of traffic.

Horse Hair Aigrettes.

That part of the new tariff law
which prohibits the importation OF
aigrettes into this country is evident
ly the i'll wind that promises to blow
good to the dealers in horse hair. AL
ready the demand for white horse
hair, still further bleached for use in
artificial aigrettes, has grown so great
that the price has advanced TO the
record point of $3.50 pound. NOR
will this level be maintained long II
the demand continues to increase.
Despite cabIegrams from abroad
telling of the price noted above, not
all members of the haircloth trade are
sang,line of the hair dealers ability TO
hold the price at it's present level.
There are some who believe that the
present rapid advance Will be 1oi-
lowed by O. slump, and that sellers OF
haircloth who order heavily OF the raw
material now will be in for loss.
Others maintain that the appearance
of q we'll made hair aigrette is so like
the real plumage that it is hard Tor
one not an expert to detect the diff
ference. This, they, contend, will mean
a substantial demand for hair from
the aigrette makers. with the higher
prices that are anticipated by the hair
dealers.
There is a little business moral in
the reported way in which the morse
hair aigrette secret became known. IL
teaches that business man should
not be too communicative when he
has a good thing" nor should ne
bubble over cents when this good
things" means dollars to him. AS the
story of the disclosure of the secret
runs. the discoverer of the process
failed to connect in confidential way
with a haircloth manufacturer VINO
could give him all Of the raw material
he wanted and who, at the same time,
would protect his secret. On the otn-
er hand, being dissatisfied with the
figure fixed by the first manufacturer
fwho may have been a wiser man than
the millinery, the milliner went on
shopping tour around the market look
ing for a lower price. Not only that,
bu the divulged the purpose for which
he wanted the hair. >and the price OF
good white horse hair went up like
the hopes of gold prospector when
he finds pay dirt" in the bottom OF his
pan.
Therefore, instead Of creating q
monopoly for himself and the hair
cloth maker. the milllner invited COM
petition. He got about $3.50 dozen
and an excellent profit from his
aigrettes at the start of the enterprise.
Now they can be bought, it is said,
for half of that figure. And only kis-

of radium to authorize the President
to withdraw from entry public lands
containing radium- bearing minerals,
will be introduced tomorrow by Rep

The President would be authorized

tanning minerals or ores from which

vide that these Withdrawals shall not
preclude the appropriation of lands
