Dams Burst Near Brockton

BROCKToN, Mass, July 1o.-The
collapse of two dams, holding millions
of gallons of water, tonight deluged
the surrounding country for miles and
threatened the plant of the Edison
Electric Company, which supplies
power to several towns and many large
manufacturing plants.
No loss of life resulted from the
flood. Persons living near by had been
warned that the dams had been made
unsafe by the tremendous volume of
water that poured into them in the
severe rains yesterday.
Late tonight officials of the Edison
plant stated that the water had almost
reached the fire boxes in the boiler
rooms and that unless it subsidized no
power could be supplied tomorrow.

ribly worried, worried about Redhead
and worried about those children, and
how she ever in the world would be
able to feed so many hungry mouths.
So the very relief and JOY of seeing
Redhead home again made her seem
cross. She wasn't really cross. She
just seemed that way. 1t was her
funny way of being glad.
Poor Redhead. He didn't under
stand it. All day long hesworked and
worked hunting for food for those al
ways hungry youngsters, who seemed
to think of nothing and care for moth
ing but food, and he didn't have a
word to say But Mrs. Redhead did.
She had plenty to say, too much Red
head thought privately. Between
trips in search of food she scolded
him for being slow. for leaving her
to do all the work alone so long, and
for all sorts of imaginary things. 1t
was just her way of working off her
relief at having him back again.
When the last youngster had been
fed for the last time that night, Mrs.
Redhead Struggled UP to Redhead for
a moment. "Oh," said she, softly.
I'm so glad you are back. I've wor-
ried about you so. Now tell me all
that happened
Then Redhead understood, and JOY
and contentment filled his heart, and
he forgot all the sharp things Mrs.
Redhead had said chat day. So he
told her all that had happened to him
and she told him all about her trou-
bles, and both were very, very happy.

Referee Rules
On 4 Stillrnan
Motions To-day
If He Permits Questions To
Be Put, Banker Will Go on
Stand Again Wednesday
TO Renew Attack ON Guy
Wife Will Not Be Present
First Defense Witnesses
TO Involve Mrs. Leeds
With Financier's Affairs

Decisions will be handed down by
Referee Daniel j. Gleason to-day which
are expected to have an important bear
ing on the Stillman divorce suit. For
several days the referee has devoted all
his time to consideration of the testi-
mony accumulated during the different
hearings held in New York and Pough-
keopsie since suit was instituted by
James A. Stillman against his wife and
baby Guy.
The rulings of the referee will deal
with four motions made at the last
hearing and are of major Importance.
1t is understood that lengthy report
is in course of preparation, to be hand
ed down by Mr.. Gleason. Ii the most
vital OF the motions is favorably passed
upon Mr.. Stillman will be the first wit
ness called to the stand at the resumed
hearing in Poughkeepsic on Wednesday.
In this event he will face further cross
examination by John E. Mack guardian
ad litem for Guy. He also will have an
opportunity to answer three questions
put to him at the last hearing by his
own counsel. Colonel William j. Rand
lr. Affirmative answers to these inter
rogations will precipitate crisis in the
suit, 1t is predicted by counsel
Questions Touch on Motive
They deal with the motive which
animated the banker in bringing suit
and show that the cornerstone of his
attack was the legitimacy of Guy rather
than his desire to be rid of his wife.
One of the questions indicated that Mr..
Stillman was entirely willing to let his
wife sue for divorce until he discovered
tnat he coulo not assail the legitimacy
OF Guy were an action brought against
him.
The alleged intimacy between Mr..
Stlllman and Mrs. Florence Lawlor
Leeds will be the basis of the affirma-
tive defense. While there are three
correspondents named by Mrs. Stillman,
the strongest cards are said to be those
affecting Mrs. Leeds. Several wit
nesses, including chauffeurs and form
er servants of the ex-show girl, will
be on hand Wednesday to testify to the
relations that are charged between the
banker and Mrs. Leeds
When all the testimony relating to
the most widely advertised of the CO.,
respondents has been delivered, other
witnesses will come forward to tell of

with auburn hair, who is said to have
been a visitor on the yacht Modesty.
They also will give flashes of the life

Couple Taking Lost
Boy Home Almost
Held as Kidnapers
Arthur Kemp Disappears at
Bear Mountain and When
HE Returns With Friends
Police Hunt Is Ended

Ien-year-old Arthur Kemp got lost
at Bear Mountain yesterday and in
consequence all the passengers on the
steamer Grand Republic had to pass
between lines of policemen on leaving
the boat at the Battery, and Mr.. and
Mrs. John Brust, of 80 Central Avenue,
Brooklyn, and their two small children
had narrow escape from being locked
up as kidnapers.
Arthur is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Kemp, of 10 Cooper Street,
Brooklyn He got lost when the crowd
broke for shelter when sudden shower
came up. When the rain stopped he
couldn't find his parents
They couldn't find him, and neither
could the Interstate Park police, whose
aid they enlisted. An Interstate Park
policeman, however, saw boy who
looked like Arthur aboard the Grand
Republic just as that steamer left the
pier at Bear Mountain and noted that
he was with woman.
The woman was Mrs. Brust. Arthur
had met her and her husband and their
two children while searching for his
parents and, as their home is not far
from his, they offered to let him go
back with them. The park policeman
dldnt know that, however, and wrote
Au1 o. oiuSt QOWH LOT klQnaper.
He telephoned her description and
that of Arthur to the New York police
and dozen or more patrolmen and de-
tectives from the Old Slip police station
met the Grand Republic. They scanned
the passengers carefully until they
came to the Brusts and their small
guest. They took them to the police
station, with most of the other pas
sengers trailing behind. hopeful for a
glimpse of kidnaper.
Among the trailers were Arthur's
aunt and uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. Stott,
OF 1854 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn,
and their arguments and those of the
Brusts and of Arthur himself almost
convinced the police that it wasn't a
kidnapping case after all. 1t was de-
cided, however, that all hands would
have to remain at the police station
until Mr. and Mrs. Kemp turned up.
Fortunately they arrived on the next
boat, the Clermont, and everybody
kissed everybody else or shook hands
and went home happy.

Hylnn Has Been Overlooking
His Truly Royal Privileges
His High and Mightiness Owes 1t to His People to
Equip Himself With the Right Birds and Avail
Himself of Rights Granted by an Ancient Charter

State Senator Schuyler M. Meyer,
chairman of the joins legislative in
vestigating committee, announced yes
terday that there were numerous privil-
eyes, secured by the Dongan Charter
or 1886. of which Mayor Hylans APP
parently had failed to avail himself
Under this charter, later confirmed
by Queen Anne, the Mayor has "the
royalties of fishing, fowling, hunting,
hawking, minerals and other royalties
and privileges (gold and silver mines

Senator Meyer said he didn't mind
tipping the Mayor off to his carless-
ness in this matter because of the
genuine pleasure which the yeomanry
would derive from seeing His Honor
and all his merry gentlemen cantering
across the uplands of the Bronx, each
with his gerfalcon. tiercel, merlin

Bedtime Stories
A Funny Way of Being Glad

You can always tell by what people

their real feelings are. Now there
was Mrs. Redhead the Woodpecker.
Her very first greeting to Redhead
on his return to his home was, "Well,
it is time you came home to help take
care of your family" And it wasn't
said pleasantly, either. 1t was said
sharply
Redhead was so glad to get home
that he was rather upset to be greet

meekly. 81 didn't intend to stay
away. In fact, l couldn't help it. You

the doorway of their home.

impatiently. "How should they know
you? Here they are half grown and
never have seen you before. Ii you
want them to know you, get them
some food. They will know you then
fast enough. Where have you been,
anyway ?"
Redhead started to tell her all
about his adventures, but she inter-

the Cunningham woman picked him out

Weeps as She Points to Him
Apparently her love for Adams al
ready had caused her to repent of the
passionate denunciation of him which
had been inspired by the detectives
remark concerning his marriage. There
were tears in her eyes and her voice
trembled and was barely audible as she
laid her hand on his arm and said
This is the man."
Adams, throughout the ordeal
stared at her without spark of recog-
milton or interest in his eyes. His cold
set face was furrowed by frown as
she singled him out. For moment
she stood with her hand on his arm as
if to compel some token of remem-
blance.

will always love you. I'm sorry 1 told

Adams shook her hand from it's rest

They went to Headquarters, and

increase in quantity of nearly 24 per cent. and in value of nearly 43 per cent as compared with shipments in 1919. The average selling value of the ore per gross ton at the mines for the whole United States ill 1920 was $418; in 1919 it was $261. The stocks of iron ore at the mines, main ly i'll Michigan and Minnesota, appar- ently decreased from 12,9860O0 gross tons in 1919 to 11,145OOO tons in 1920, or IA per cent.
 The production of iron ore in 1920 was less than 100000 tons below that of 1918 and is exceeded only by that of the war years 1910, 1917, and 1918 In 1920 shipments exceeded production by approximately 1,785OO0 gross tons, but in 1919 production exceeded ship ments by about 4,147,OOO tons.
 The record of the iron-making in dustry in 1920 is the more remarkable when it is considered that shipments were hindered by a strike of ore handlers at the shipping docks early in the season, then by railroad tie-ups, due to a strike of switchmen, and by short age of coal, cars, and vessels, and later by the closing down of blast furnaces, which was brought about by the cessa- ton of the demand for pig iron and steel.
 These estimates, which are based
