SO FAMILIES IN FLIGHT
WHEN BIG DAM BREAKS

st. Paul, June 30.-The large Golfer
dam on the government works in the
Mississippi river just above Fort Smell
ing. broke under pressure of high wa
ter yesterday afternoon. A section of
more than so feet was washed out.
United States engineers Immediately
notified the st. Paul police department
and a number of automobiles were dis
patched along both sides of the river
to warn residents of the lowlands.
More than so families of a foreign
colony living in the lowlands of West
st. Paul were driven from their homes
by water. Many of them had moved
their belongings to higher ground and
suffered but little damage.
Government officials expressed the
belief that the crest of the flood had
passed today. At st. Paul, IL miles
below the dam, the river rose nearly
one foot as a result of the break. The
fact that much of the flood water
backed into the Minnesota river is said
TO have averted a greater rush of wa
ter and perhaps extensive damage.
Preparations for strengthening the
125 feet of the cofferdam
we're under way today.

NAVYIS READY To
CLIMB ON WAGON
Secretary Daniels Famous
Prohibition Order Becomes
Effective Tonight.

Washington, d. c. June 30.-Afioat
and ashore. today sees the last OF the
wine mess in the United States navy.
Secretary Daniels famous prohibition
order goes into effect at midnight to-
night, after which any officer found in
possession Of alcoholic liuor on board
ship or at any naval station is guilty
Of misconduct. There is only one ex-
ception, made in the case of the ships
surgeon. who may keep a limited sup
ply OF spirits on hand Tor medical use
only. But admiral or captain is as
guilty as the seaman If he keeps
stock OF wines and liquors for his own
consumption or the refreshment OF his
guests.
The naval hostess. too. after tonight
must give up the punch bowl as a mag
net for her guests IL the scene of the
entertainment be within the naval
jurisdiction, as at the naval academy,
the naval station and the navy yards.
This feature appealed strongly to Sec
rotary Daniels. who believed that
many young officers could trace their
downfall to over indulgence in punch |
at these social IuuCtlOIS.
At midnight tonight the naval regula-
tons which have heretofore allowed |
wardroom officers to form wine mess
or club for the purchase and use of
wines. will be stricken out, and these
stern words will be substituted:
The use or introduction for. drink
ng purposes of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel, or within any
navy yard or station, is strictly pro-
and commanding officers will
De directly responsible for the enforce
nent of this order"
Since announcing this change some
ime ago Secretary Daniels had en-
outraged expressions OF opinions OF |
lis action, but the adverse comment
rom many officers who held it TO be |
n infringement OF their personal lib ]
rites, did not go far toward leading
he secretary from his firm stand in I

| New Orleans, La, June 30.-The first
wholesale campaign in the history of
the south for the determination of rats
to prevent the spread of bubonic
plague is to be inaugurated today by
state and city health authorities. Two
| cases of the disease were recently dis
covered in the industrial home OF the
Volunteers of America here. One man
died, another Is ill, and % inmates
are isolated. A concrete barrier will
be constructed around an area extend
ing four blocks in every direction from
the home and the rats driven to the
center. Poison and traps will be used
and drain pipes screened to prevent
single rat to escape. Health authori-
ties stated spread of the plague is not
expected.
Iowa Board Heeds Notice.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 36.-The
Iowa board of health has requested all
boards of health along the Mississippi
river to take immediate action to ex-

cal examinations of rats captured, as a
result of the warning from Washing

Washington, June 30.-Surgeon Gen.

DELAYS DECISION
IN RAIL RATE CASE
Ruling on Five Per Cent In
crease Will Not Be Made
Public Present Week.

Washington, d. c., June 30.-The
decision of the interstate commerce
commission on the application of east
ern railroads for a five per cent ad
vance in freight rates will not be made
public during the present week, as had
been expected, according to indica-
lions yesterday. The decision may
not be announced for at least two
weeks. Serious phases of the general
questions involved remain to be set
tied.
1t is stated authoritatively that re-
ports during the last week or two, pur-
porting to give the conclusions of the
commission in the pending case, are
founded only on conjecture and that
the commission as yet, actually has
reached no final conclusions.
One of the serious conditions which
has been encountered is what has been
termed the ''lopsidedness" of the rec
ord CT the case as respects certain COM
modities. For nearly a month testi
mony was taken as to the reasonable
ness of the rates on certain commodi-
ties. Most of the witnesses maintain
I'd either that existing rates were too
nigh or that they were fairly reason
lble and everyone protested against
an advance on his particular commod-
ty.
Counsel for the railroads submitted
very little testimony and in some in
stances none at all, in rebuttal of this
evidence. The result as far as the
commission is concerned is that, as to |
hese commodities the record OF tho
.ase is strongly Indicative of the rea- |
of existing rates.
