An assistant Secretary of State for
the United States, A. A. Adee, held

were said to indicate that the person
who fired the four shots was close

woman.
Brewster, who had been transferred
here from Pittsfeld, ~ H., only three
weeks ago, was shot down in the ticket
Office between trains last night. -Four
shots were fired, two of which entered
the body. Whether they were fired
from within the office. near door, or
the ticket window, was not
established, but it was believed by an

assailant had gained admission to the
room.
The body was removed to the North

Washington, D. c.. April 2l.-The
sum of $l,0OO,ooo for control of food
water of the Mississippi river, now at
the highest stage in years, was made
available Immediately by resolu-

House to-day within an hour after
the proposal made by southern mem
bers had been approved by Secretary

get.
Secretary Weeks, in letter to
Congress, urging immediate considera-

flood stage was extreme, and that the
water was higher at places than ever
known before, that along stretches Of
20 miles it was above the leyees.

unable to stand the strain much longer

would result in great national
disaster, Secretary Weeks said.
