food danger had passed yesterday.

drop of nearly three feet in 81 hours,
from 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon
when the peak of the flood was
reached. The Maine Central Rail-
road bridge Is out OF danger but
trains will not be able to pass over
Il for several days on account of its
weakened condition due to the wash
ing away Of the false work holding
up the eastern end. Meanwhile pas

BURNS RETIRES AS
GREAT DETECTIVE"

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Burns,
the great detective" has resigned as
chief of the justice departments Sc
cret service. He has been the storm
CENTER in several senate investiga-
tions, and correctly states that he is
resigning "for his health"
Burns was appointed by Attorney
General Daugherty, and is well fitted
for the work he was called upon
to do. Witnesses before senate COM
mittees have testified that senators
who opposed Daugherty were shad-
owed and their mail opened. Colored
detectives became acquainted with col
ored maids employed in the homes Of
these senator's. The maids, it was
shown, were taken out evenings for
"a good time" by the detectives who
attempted to pick up clues from the
maids.
Burns has been subjected to several
grillings by senators. AS his work
can not stand investigation, he re-
signs under fire, as did Daugherty.
During President Taft's administra-
tion Burns came into the same sort
of publicity by "railroading" TO the
penitentiary a man in the federal
court who faced a jury that Burns
packed" President Taft pardoned
the man on recommendation of At
torney General Wickersham.
