The rain-storm of Tuesday
caused the rivers to raise enor-
mously and did considerable
damage elsewhere in flowing
into cellars, etc. The Island
Pond--Newport stage had a
rather soaking accident. The
stage left East Charleston at

~ H Gardner's farm, the wa
ter having raised and flooded
the road, and the stage-driver
not knowing this, it being dark,
the horses left the road, taking
with them stage and all. The
water was of considerable
depth, as the driver was COM
PEELED to wade to his neck in
order to secure the mail-bags,
which he packed on his back,
and made the rest of the trip
on foot, arriving at Island Pond
post-office about 1890. One
of the horses, it is thot, will die
from the accident. Consider
able damage was done to the
rest of the stages load.

CHICAGO FACTORIES
 FEEL DEPRESSION
Lack of Coal Affects Them-Seeking to Equip Boilers for
 Use of Oil

Chicago, July 26.-Several Chica gc industrial plants are preparing against possible shortage of coal by hurried ly equipping furnaces and boilers with facilities for burning oil as fuel, it was learned here today.
 Thirty per cent of the city's pump ing stations and incinerators have been equipped with oil burners, ac- cording to Deputy Commissioner Burkhardt.
 Armour and Company and Swift and Co. are among those preparing to substituta petroleum as fuel in case it is necessary, it was learned.
 The cement industry Is beginning to feel the pinch of restricted coal sup plies, William N. Kinney, general manager of the Portland Cement asso- ciation, said in a statement Some plants. he added, have been forced to close, and it is probable others may have to do so or operate on part time unless relief is had soon.

POTATO CROP AND HOW ID SAVE IT Joseph Pagan of PlainVille
 Gives Advice

Advice to potato growers from one who is well qualified to give advice on this subject, Is contained in this interview with Joseph Pagan, for
 many years known as The Potato King" whose extensive acreage, In the past. has been ohe of the biggest farms in Plainville and one of the largest potato plantations in this sec ton.
 Although Mir. Pagan is not raising potatoes personally this year, he has rented so acres of his land and these are planted with potatoes
 In view of the continuous damp weather, Mir. Pagan was asked if the potato crop has been damaged. and what can be done to prevent its be- ing damaged.
 AS yet the damp weather has not affected the potato plants Mir. Pagan said, but he went on to explain that the damp weather is a contributing agent to the potato blight which made its appearance In Long Island a couple Of weeks ago and has all ready affected potato crops in this section to some extent.
 MT. Pagan says that the potato blight is form of fungi growth and any weather that will grow mush- rooms will produce the blight. Once started, nothing can kill the potato blight and the only hope of potato growers is to prevent the blight get ting started.
 To prevent the blight, Bordeaux Mixture should be used in generously spraying the plants, Mr. Pagan says. Plants should be sprayed on both upper and under sides in order to prevent the blight from taking hold. If the crop has not been sprayed before this year a couple of sprayings would do better; and from then on the crop should be sprayed every week or ten days. If potato growers will spray their plants be fore the blight hits them, I guaran- tee they will not have a single spoil ed potato Mir. Pagan says.
 The Plainville potato kings recipe for making Bordeaux Mixture is to slack 50 pounds of lime in 50 gallons of water; then get a solution made of 50 pounds of blue vitriol. Combine the two and the hundred gallons are suf- ficient for one spraying of one acre.

 Controlling Freight Traffic

Chicago, July 26.-(By Associated Press )-With the government today assuming control of freight traffic, the eastern railroads continuing efforts tc form new unions of shopmen, and in- dications from Montreal that a walk out of 10000 Canadian shopmen had been authorized peace in the railway strike seemed remote possibility. On the other hand good will was appar- ent in the meetings being held at Bal timore between officials of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad and represen- tatives Of the shopmen which have been regared as a possible precursor of the other settlements if successful
 Spread Not Likely.
 No further spread of the strike was looked for, although 50 maintenance of way men at Shawnee, Okla, and a number at Moberly, Mo-, quit work yesterday because armed guards were patrolling railroad property. A reso- Hutton adopted by representatives of nearly 300 general chairmen of the clerks and freight handlers union after their meeting here yesterday de-

 Curtailment of train service during the last 24 hours was negligible. The Pennsylvania road issued a statement last night saying passenger and freight service had been restored to normal on that road.
 More Troops Called Out.
 Reports of violence or threatened violence were slightly increased and troops were called out in three new states, while in Montana the Great Northern railway was promised troop protection at Havre and Wolf Point where protection had been asked and any other points where the need might arise.

GAS MAY REPLACE
COAL IN FURNACES
Experiments to Determine
Feasibility in Heating
Dwelling Houses.

The Washington Gas Light Company
i may go into the business of heating
homes by gas instead of coal-burning
furnaces next winter If experiments
! now being made are successful, it be-
came known last night.
Howard Reeside. president, stated
! that he has appointed a committee COM
posed of experts from every branch of
! the gas system to test the feasibility of
connecting up gas-burning furnaces
with the pipes and radiators of existing
heating plants.
The company will not content itself
with laboratory demonstrations. but
VIII make practical tests by installing
gas furnaces In a number Of different
sized houses having steam, hot water
and hot air heating plants.
Ihese trials. which will be made be-
fore the end Of the present winter, will
guide the company in deciding whether
or not it would be feasible to venture
forth on the commercial proposition of
house-heating.
One Of the things to be determined
is the cost Of the gas necessary to heat
given house as compared with the
price Of the coal burned in the exist
ing furnace.
Sees Gas Heating Coming.
II believe the time is coming" said
president Reeside. when homes will
use gas for heating just as they use
IT for cooking. l am much interested
IN the prospect of developing gas
heating as a. commercial part of the
company's business"
Asked what he thought the Public
Utilities Commission should do in
reference to gas rates when they
come up for revision in March, Mr..
Reside said he did not believe exist
ing rates should be lowered at this
time. The presnt rate is S1.1O per
thousand cubic feet for private house
holds.
"As our books will show" he said,
the gas company had four bad years.
We have just had a good. year, but I
believe the best interests Of the gas
consumers and the utility situation
as whole would be served by allow
ing the company to earn a reasonable
income
Mr.. Reeside said the company ia
now we'll supplied with coal and oil.

after the war. has no fear of running

FLEXIBLE TARIFF
IS AIM Of SMOOT
Would Authorize President to
Raise or Lower Rates if
Warranted.

Along with the proposals to assess
import duties on the American whole
sale selling price at the time OF ship
ping. the republican members of the
Senate finance committee are consider
ing other amendments to the permanent
tarin law offered by Senator Smoot of
Utah, which would authorize the Presi-
dent, when conditions warrant to in
crease or decrease the rates within a
maximum Of SO per cent of those in the
bill and to proclaim American valuation
on any given list of articles should he
determine that only by this means could
American products successfully COM
pete with foreign goods in the American
market.
Coupled with these also are the
amendments authorizing the executive
to increase the rates because Of the
depreciation Of currency in a foreign
country and to take steps to prevent
unfair practices in imports and the dis
elimination against American foreign
commerce by foreign governments.
Aside from this general plan. there
are two others before the majority
members of the committee One is the
American valuation plan as written in
the Fordney bill by which duties would
be imposed on the basis of the selling
price in the United States of American
made goods comparable with the i'm
ported articles.
The other is the assessment of the
duties on the basis of the invoice value
of the imported articles with a provision
that when necessary this value would
be transferred into the gold value basis
as obtaining in the country Of origin at
the time Of shipment.
