officials here tonight estimated that
property along the path Of the flood
had been damaged TO the extent OF
$500. coo To this was added thousands
of dollars worth OF logs carried away
by the water.
The first part Of the food reached
the Western Maryland Railroad near
Schell. twenty miles below, where stony
Stony Creek empties into the Potomac
River. at about 8 o'clock this after
noon and that place soon had flood
stage Of fifteen feet. several feet higher
than ever before in its history. The
water not only went over the railroad
tracks but washed away about sixty
feet Of track and bed for the Western
Maryland.
The food wave apparently expended
its energy in a mad twenty y-miie dash
down the valley OF Stony Creek,
from the face of the burst dam TO
Schell. This valley. however, was prac-
tically uninhabited. II was owned by
the West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company rs right Of way and water
she'd.
The large dam, completed last Au
gust. was situated about seventy miles
above Cumberland, past which city the
waters Of the Potomac iow. The dam
was nuilt Cor use as storage reservoir,
10 supply the large mills at Luke, Nd,
in dry seasons, and it was for that rea-
son that the point selected was where
the valley opened out so as TO form an
immense lake behind the dam.

Woman Who Says Dudley
Jardine Was Her Father,
Will Contest His Will.
DEATH IN BOWERY
REVEALS DUAL LIFE
Organ Makers Son Lived as
"Wm. Smith After Deserving
His Family Is Charge.

Another chapter in the strange tale
lived thirty years in squalidness in the
Bowery under the name OF William
Smith. and dying barely escaped burial
i'm Potter's Field, was brought to light
she is the daughter OF William smith
came forward. contesting the Jardine
will and alleging that the old man had
lived a double life for fifty years.
The story told by Mrs. Anita Me
Carthy, wife Of a janitor at No. 100
University Place, who says she is Jar
dimes daughter reads more like a tale
that Robert Louis Stevenson might
Hyde than part Of what will soon be
come a court record and he contested
for the facts.
One day last March doddering old
man dropped in the street and was
taken 10 Gouverneur Hospital. He
died ana his body was made ready for
a pauper burial Investigation showed
he was William Smith. Bowery
lodger, with no friends. Just as the
body was ready for Potter's Field
Peter Chouinard found among the dead
mans papers evidence that Smith was
Dudley Jardine, son of the famous or
gan manufacturer and possessor Of Il
fortune.
A will was also found which left his
estate. S203 963, to nephews, nieces and
charity The will was drawn in 1889.
Dual Life Revealed.
Then little by little the dual life of
Jardne became known. How he as
sociated with the unfortunates of the
Bowery. living meany on sodden food
as befitted William Smith. who had
only SO a week, and how at intervals
he disappeared to resume his SILK
hated station as Dudley Jardine, when
he conferred with his lawyers on
speculations. was told in the news
papers, which published Jardine's pct
ure.
The publication Of his photograph led
TO the new development in the case.
Mrs. Anita Mccarthy read the story
and hurried to lawyer, saying Ihat
man was my father
Her story was kept quiet Whlle the
executor of Jardine's estate went ahead
nreparing the will for probate. Ru-
mors of another claimant reached John
NJ Shedd. attorney for the executor
three days ago, but he passed them on
remarking, Probably some one trying
hold-up." Yesterday Mr.. Shedd,
seemingly taken by surprise would
make no statement.
Mrs. Mccarthy. however, was In a
mood for talk. After she had posed FOR
fashlight surrounded by her hus-
band and children she told the story or
William Smith Dudley Jardine, as she
will tell it IN court providing NJ
agreement can be reached with the
heirs under the present will. Her story
reads
William Smith enlisted in the Civil
War in 1854 He gave the name OF
Smith on the rolls, and was married to
my mother. Anita Blackwell, in New
York in 1868. The record Of my birth
was found q few weeks ago in the
register of a New York church. My
mother never knew he was any one
other than William Smith. There were

Seaboard Air Line Incident.

The supposed enmity between John
SkeIton Williams and Milton Allies and
Robert W. Maddox. Of Atlanta, who
became directors Of the Seaboard Air
Line at the time Williams was forced
out was also the subject of inquiry by
members Of the committee. The state
ment Was made that Charles Starek,

had suggested to New York bankers
that thev be careful of their Seaboard
Air Line securities, the intimation being
tina: they had deprecated in value. AS

receives a salary and fees aggregating
$50. 600 a year.
The part played 10y Mr.. Williams in
exercising the functions of Controller
of the Currency, an independent office,
was touched upon when Mr.. Allies said
that bank examiners, by Mr. Will
iams's order. had gone through the
files of various national banks sus-
pected of being hostile 10 him. Mr..
Williams explained this by saying that
he desired information concerning the
crop moving fund.

Dam Called a Marvel.

At the time Of its completion 1t was
reported TO be one of the greatest stor-
age dams in the country in amount OF
water capacity. The dam was built TO
hold back a body of water fifty feet
deep for the bulk OF the length OF the

base of a wide valley, where the noun
tains come close together, i'm order to
give greater strength with less use Of
masonry and concrete. The dam was
built az cost OF a quarter million dol
lars and was supposed TO be OF great
strength.
