ports Of Flood Damage
Gates Opened at Moosehead,
Bridges Washed out.

Skowhegan, Me-. June 1s.-(SpeciaD
Somerset county generally sustained
one of the biggest June freshets in
many years during the continued rain
lasting into Sunday night. The Ken
nebec river has probably never been
as high in this village at this time of
year as on Monday. Twenty of Moose
head Lake gates had to be thrown
open and that with the rain swellcd
the waters to better than 10 feet on
the dam here. There was no partic-
ular damage from the flood in this vii
lage, however, except the flooding Of
gardens, etc At the George II. Yves
ton farm on the River road, the inter
wales were flooded and water stood
three feet deep in the road this side
of Hnckley on the same road. The
Middle road to Fairfield was also i'm
passable because of the washing out
OF the bridge on Cragin Stream. y
small bridge between NorridGeWoCk
and Skowhegan was also washed out
and one on the Notch road was said
to be seriously damaged. The road to
Athens leading out of North avenue
was flooded near the a. X. Perkins
farm and two bridges on the East
Ridge road in Cornville were reported
gone. The water at Lakewood was
never so high before, the grove being
flooded. Numerous were the cottages
surrounded by water and Ernest Ray
nor and family were obliged to move
out in boat. The small bridges about
the lake were most Of them washed
away, while in Madison village Wat
err street was flooded. The report that
the dam at East Madison was washed

day and is not thought TO be badly

Amendments to Federal Reserve Act Sent to

Bolster Up Financial System

ly impregnable as human ingenuity
can make it.
Another amendment facilitates the
establishment of branches of federal
reserve banks by simplifying the or
yanization of the branches and de-
decreasing the expense 1t is thought
that this amendment will result in the
establishment within a short time of
branch banks at Baltimore, Louisville
and Denver. and possibly other cities.
The so-called Hardwick amendment
which provided for the legalization UNI
der certain conditions Of a collection
charge of checks cashed by member
banks on out of town banks, was mod
flied so that such a charge cannot be
collected except with the approval of
the board.
Whether the incoming state banks
will have to divest themselves Of d.
rectorates interlocking with other in
situations is a moot question under the
amended law. It is possible that the
courts will be called upon finally to de-
eide this question, in case OF conflict.
The federal reserve board has advo-
Gated the passage Of these amend
ments for more than a year. Their fl
en- the country's financial system since
nal passage is regarded as one of the
most important steps taken to strength
the passage of the act itself.

Height Above 9 Feet on
Augusta Dam
Considerable Damage in Cellars
Along Water Street

With a height of nearly 10 feet Of
water on the Augusta dam as the re-
suit of the downpour of rain which
dfenched this part Of Maine from
Saturday night and throughout Sum
day and Sunday night and raised the
water in the kennebec river to a
height greater than it had reached at
any time since the big freshet of De-
cember 16, 1901, the flood was thought
last evening to have reached its max
imum height and people went to bed
hoping that the worst was over and
that the coming of today would bring
receding of the waters. The report
from the Edwards mills. where there
is a water gauge, at o'clock yester-
day afternoon showed a height Of nine
feet and two inches on the dam. At
that time the water was still rising but
very slowly, and it was believed that
the rise would soon cease This be-
lief received some report from the
fact that at several places where the
height of water had been marked there
was little or no change after that hour.
Monday was a wild day on the Ken
nebec and though the day was mark
ed by sunshine that served to set forth
more forcibly the power of that usu-
ally peaceful water way when it rises
in its might. The giant was awaken
ed in the night and long before the
daylight of Monday the water had ris-

Washington, June 1s.-Amendments
strengthen the financial system of the
country by the concentration of gold
to open wide the doors of the federal
reserve system to the state banks and
trust companies were sent to the Pres
ident today for his signature. The
senate finally accepted conference
report previously approved by the
house.
Shift Reserves
The first effect of the changes, it is
believed, will be the shifting of more
than $500. 100000 in reserves from the
banks of the country to the federal re-
serve banks, where the great store of
gold will be in a position to achieve its
maximum efficiency. The effect of this
shift, officials believe, will be of in
calculable benefit to the financial sys-
tenn of the country at this time, when
the strain Of heavy Withdrawals from
the money markets to meet install
ments on the Liberty Loan impends.
Under the existing law. the banks
had until November to divert that por-
ton of their reserves with other banks
to the federal . reserve banks. The
amendments advance the date, and the
diversion of this gold to the reserve
banks is ordered at once.
Hundreds Of large trust companies
and state banks which heretofore have
remained outside the fold are expected
to come under the amendments. These
institutions will bring into the reserve
system many hundreds of millions of
additional reserves. With their addi-
ton officials believe that the financial
system of the country will be as near
