Team Narrowly AUerts
Disaster When Horse
Leaps From ''CaUein'

While the dairy team of C. E.
Sheesley, 601 Walnut street, was plod-
ding across Nagle street this morning,
the roadway suddenly caved in be-
meath the horses feet and the alright
ed leap of the horse alone prevented
what might have been a serious ac-
cident. Driver, horse and wagon es-
capped wiChout injury, however, ex-
cept a snapped shaft. This part of
the wagon split when the animal
jumped from the big hole.
The crown of the street dropped
down a distance of eight feet. and
the hole that resulted was at least
twelve feet across. Street Foreman
Frank Eckleman of the city Bureau of
Highways got busy at once with a
force of men and began an investiga-
ton with a view to immediate repair
ing. The depression occurred in the
middle of the street between Show
ers and Front streets and necessitated
the closing of a section of the. high
way to traffic.
While the exact cause cannot be de-
finitely determined until the caved in
earth is removed, 1t is believed that
the water backed in from the rising
Susquehanna, burst the sewer and
that this break let the water eat away
the earth.
A four-foot depression due to the
same cause, occurred yesterday in
Hanna street and smaller hole devel-
oped in Showers street near Nagle.

Fuility of Contest
AS the split in the party seems more
and more inevitable Republicans OF
influence who have been taking nc
part in the discussion are beginning to
declare against the futility of such a
contest. These believe that a fac
tional outbreak will mean the loss of
several members of Congress and the
possibility of a Democratic Legis-
lature.
Governor Brumbaugh is believed to
have honestly striven to restore har-
mony, but it is intimated in some
quarters that he has been overruled.
Insurance Commissioner Johnson
retirement has started all sorts of gos-
sip regarding other State officials and
the situation is rapidly developing
features similar to the Quay Hastings
episode of 20 years ago and the Hog
Combine" ruction.
Bull Moosers In It
1t is no secret that prominent Pro-
gressives who were hopeful of party
reunion this year are out of joint over
the break and are denouncing those
responsible for the mix-up. Some
stalwart Republicans believe that the
has been made worse by the
activity of certain individuals who
have been outside the Republican fold
since 1912 and who are now criticised
for presuming to dictate what shall
be done in the present crisis. Alto
gether it is a peculiar situation, but
there are still those who believe that
the apparent hopelessness of peace at
this juncture may restore harmony
through a return to sanity among
the leaders.
Those who are supposed to be in
the confidence of Colonel Roosevelt
are confidently predicting that under
no circumstances will he permit his
name to be dragged into the primaries
in this State as q candidate for Presi-
dent; that he has declined to go upon
the primary ballot in other States and
that no situation which may develop
in Pennsylvania will change his atti-
tude in this respect. Roosevelt sup
porters who believe he will be the
ultimate nominee of the Chicago con-
vention say the row in this State will
have no bearing upon the outcome in
June so far as the ex-President is
concerned inasmuch as he will main
tain such position as will make him
acceptable to all Republicans as a
candidate.

Heavy Shows Melt
In many places in the mountains
along the border of New York State
and the counties along the north
branch in Pennsylvania, several feet
of snow is melted, causing a surpris-
ing rise in all of the smaller streams,
During the flood of the Juniata and
West tributaries, the north branch re-
mained almost stationary, until yester-
day.
State Bulletin
The State Water Supply Commission
bulletin to-day is as follows:
Another freshet is on it's way down
the Susquehanna river and will prob
ably crest at about the same height
as the recent flood which occurred
during last Wednesday night. The
Juniata river is rapidly receding.
THE lower reaches of the West
Branch are expected to remain about
stationary, as reports received by the
Commission last night and this morn
ing state that the tributaries between
Williamsport and Remove are again
rising. due to the melting of the re-
naming snow which will tend to
maintain the present stage ON that
stream. The upper reaches of the
stage of 17.5 feet at Towanda- 24.5
feet at Wilkes Barre and 1913 feet at
Danville were reported this morning
Forecasts have been issued to cit+
les and towns involved along the
North Branch predicting a stage of 20
feet to be expected at Wilkes Barre
and 21 foot stage at Danville. The
main Susquehanna will probably rise
again during the early hours of to-
morrow and continue during the day,
cresting at a stage of about 1871 feet
late tomorrow evening, which is ap-
proximately the same stage as reached
during the recent food of last We'd

Mines Idle at Scranton

its highest flood mark with lowlands

Servia. Mrs. Pankhurst is the direct
antithesis of all that is militant in
looks and manner. Small of statue,
with soft gray hair shading a face
full of sweetness and strength, and
with the beautifully modulated voice
of the English, she seems more like
some gentle little British peeress in
terested in mission work. And it is
mission work which she has under
taken, but of so large and pathetic
kind that her whole soul and
strength have been thrown into it.
She is travelling in America with her
secretary, Miss Wickett, and his excel
lency, Cheddo Miyatorich, past Ser
bian Minister to England.
Why She Is Here
your people are so generous, so
kind" she said, that l came here to
ask their help for the poor, stricken
ones in that desolated land"
But why do you, an Englishwoman,
worfk for them instead of the people
of your own country?'' she was asked.
Because they are our allies. The
reinforcements we tried to send them
could not reach them before the ter
rible invasion and now thew need us
more than ever. 1 have been working
for England, too, a great deal, also
but where Mr.. Miyatovich asked me to
accompany him over here for the sake
of the Serbian women and children
whose sufferings are past all compre-
hension, l could not refuse"

noon when it remained stationary and
then began to rise again. A stage OF
about 17.5 feet will be reached here
tomorrow morning. inches above
the flood mark.
Warnings Sent Out
Warnings have been sent out again
by the State Water Supply Commits
sion and local manufacturing plants
including the Central Iron and Steel
company are taking precautions
against the high water. The rise to-

mills of the Central plant closed un-

high water of yesterday receded, but
with another flood in sight, the mills

way, resumed last night, will again be
cut off tomorrow and cellars in South
Harrisburg will fill with water.
After falling steadily for the last "a
hours along the West branch, many
of the smaller streams began pouring
large volumes of water into this tri-
butary, and at Williamsport the river
began to rise again to-day with an in
dication that an IS-foot stage will be
reached there. No danger from floods
is expected, however, but the rise in

week the Attorney General would have
talks with some officials and also a
report came that Insurance Commits
sioner Johnson had not shot all of his
ammunition and that some additional
matter illustrative of the methods
against which he protested may be
issued. Mr.. Johnson is coming back
on Monday to attend to some personal
matters.
Secretary of the Commonwealth
Woods was in Lancaster to-day MAX
ing the address at the Stevens Insti-
tute ceremonies, Commissioner Killing
was immersed in work, Commissioner
Dixon was at Cresson inspecting
sanatorium work, Highway Commits
sioner Cunningham was inspecting
roads. Most of the other officials
were away or at work and refusal to
discuss the developments seemed to be
as popular as at the Executive Man
sion.
Licenses Complicated
AS the result of the retirement of
Insurance Commissioner Johnson, TO-
600 licenses for insurance agents and
brokers all over the State may be call
ed into question. They are dated
April l and were made up weeks ago,
all ready to be issued tonight. They
bear Mr.. Johnson's name as commits
sioner.
When the commissioner resigned he
made it at "the earliest convenience"
of the Governor. The Governor ac-
cepted 1t in an hour. Therefore, Mr.
Johnson ceased to be commissioner
last night. Under the act Deputy
Commissioner S. w. McCulloch be-
comes acting commissioner auto
matically, but the question which
agitates the Capitol is whether the
licenses will be worth anything as
they are dated April l and are signed
by Charles Johnson. The question
will be put up to the attorney general
at once.
The probabilities are that the IL
censes will have to be stamped with
Mr.. McCulloch's name and that means
a good many insurance men will not

The PiCher Camp.

Special Correspondent.
The Pitcher Mining Camp,
south west of Baxter, is one OF the
most interesting mining proper.
ties in the entire zinc and lead
field. The development work,
the construction of modern mills,
the installation of machinery and
the imroved devices for treating
and saving the ores seems to have
reached almost to the point OF
perfection. One attractive feature
of this great property is the en-
tire 'mp'eteness of everything.
Nothing has been done in an
unworkmaulike or slipsbod man
ner. The four great mills, all
of which are models, seem to have
been constructed for permauency
and for a long continued opera
ton.
The completeness of this prop
erty at once establishes confidence
in the mind of the man of mining
experience and is satisfactory evil
dence to all of the great quanti-
ties of lead and zinc ores which
have been discovered with drill,
proven out with shafts and &C.
tual mine development. The main
ore bodies here come in at about
the two hundred and sixty-6ve
foot level. The ore strata is very
rich; the rough running high in
mineral content and of high quail
ity. The Picher Company is now
constructing its own smelters for
the purpose of treating its ores
produced from this camp.
The developments at this place
have broadeued in every direct
ion and other developments are
being made all over the once beau
tiful and uudisturbed prairies
surrounding the Blue Mound.
Rich drill strikes have been made
almost continuously along the
two states line from Pitcher east
ward and new derricks in prepar-
alton for sinking shafts are to be
seen as one views the couu try
from the summit of the great
mound.
The time will come, and 1t is
not far distant, when the thous'
ands of people living in and In
terested in this great mineral re
gion will demand a winding road
leading to the summit of this
prominent elevation that they
may from its top view the entire
surrounding country, stretching
from Joplin to the Neosho River
and from the far north to Crane
River cu the southeast. There
is no other elevation in all this
great mineral region affording
such a complete birds eye view
of the land underlaid with jack
at this particular time of year
The scene calls to the mind o
the men of thought the Mysteries
of Gods Creation and affords
pleasantly for all.
