PAVEMENTS TORN BY PRESSURE Jim mm FlHirri Appear In Streets aad Iar( AmIIoh of (be Cltr Have Hern Converted Into Lakea. PARIS, Jan. 29. Slowly, very slowly, fha swollen waters of the Seine, which reached their high mark at 2 o'clock this morning were subsiding and at midnight the fall measured about four and one-half lnohea not much, but enough to bring a ense of relief to the desolated and dis tracted city. The danger of some great calamity, such as has been predicted, now seems over, although the situation continues to be critical, particularly In the neighborhood of the St. l.axare station, where the entire streets and solid blocks of buildings threaten to sink through the crust Into the waters beneath. The effect of the removal of the water pressure has been to weaken foundations generally and this causes the greatest anxiety. Besides there will be thousands of acres to be cleared or repaired when the water has needed, and there Is also the possibility of an epidemic breaking out. It Is generally telleved that the break ing of the dam at Or.nevllllors appreciably hastened the climax by reelaslng an Im mense volume of water, but the conse quences below are appallng. Oennevllllers and Colombes have 30,000 Inhabitants; they ' are completely submerged, the water reaching the tops of he houses In the lower section, while the flood is backing up Into the .very center of Aenleres. Figures as to the iuniber of persons af fected bv the flood In tho vallev of the Siine are pure guesswork, but certainly 40,000 have been driven from their homes to the hospltuU ar.J other buildings whlcn have been placed at the disposition of the refugees.

The high mark reached by the River kieine at I 'out Royal wr thlrty-iie feet 6he' Inch. This Is the highest known record. The flood of 1615 is said to have attained lis crest at thirty feet six Inches. The - situation throughout the city con . tlnues grave and there Is fear that the 1 receding waters will cause tho collapse of many building whose foundations have been weakened. The crest of the flooo was reached at late midnight. The waters remained sta tionary until 2 o'clock, arter which they fell slowly. At 8 o'clock there had been a drop' of two Inches, according to an offi cial statement issued thla forenoon. . . During the night the storm clouds dis appeared and the weather cleared. This . morning the sun shone brightly. The delay In telegraphic communication throughout France and to Italy and Switz erland continues today. Despite the fact that the waters subsided during the forenoon the situation within .the city was not improved. On the con trary the surface water further, invaded i the streets, while the pressure from the choking torrents underground opened new crevices in some places and at other points forced up the pavements Into great ob structing hummocks, tilting and sometimes tearing up trees and lamp poets. This was especially noticeable In the Flace de La Concorde, the Rue Royale and the Flace de L'Opera. The greatest dam age has been done at the Place de 1'Opera and at the St. Lazare station. . Kqaltable Ilalldlaa- Damaged. . At the former four bad cave-Ins occurred, one In front of the new building of the Equitable Life Assurance society, where the water has poured Into the basement. Workmen have succeeded in erecting tem porary walls to protect the furnaces. The situation, however. Is not as critical lu the Place de 1'Opera as in the region In front of the St. Lazare station, where the waters . racing through the Due de La Grange-Batellere subway, Joining the flood of overflowed sewers, has turned the Place du Havre Into a lake and some sections of the Rue de L'Arcade, the Rue de L'Isly and the Boulevard Haussmann, In front of the Expitorl chapel, erected to the memory of the decapitated Bourbons, Into veritable rivers. All of the buildings within this quadratorlal have been evacuated and are surrounded by a cordon of soldiers. The big depaitment stores, including the I'rtnUmps and the galleries Lafayette have been closed. Firemen and suppers were engaged la constructing dams In this vicin ity. There was great danger In the streets a" some of the buildings appeared likely to collapse. People Disappear In Stmn, There have been a dozen Instances where persons have disappeared In crevices sud denly opened under their feet or been swept away In the sewer flood. Many pitiful stories are told of trie rescue of half starved persons who had been Im prisoned In their houses. Two families with nine children, who had been drifting about on a raft all ntsbt were discovered In the Cavel district at daylight and res cued. A number of persons have become Insane through fear and suffering. 4 One sailor, who had engaged In the work or rescue until he reached the limit of physical and mental endurance, became erased, jumped Into the Peine and was drowned. Two hundred additional canvas boats with crews arrived at points on. the water front above and below the city thla morn ing. They have undertaken to aid the resi dents of the suburbs. The government has requisitioned very boat obtainable and posted notices everywhere warning flood sufferers not to pay the boatmen anything their services.

Haskell Accused by Member of tKe Legislature Charged with Misapplying Funds that Belonged to the State of Oklahoma. GUTHRIE, Okl.. Jan. ffl.-Cherglng Gov ernor Haskell and other state officers with a violation of the slate constitution and the laws of the state In the manner In which public moneys have been expended. Representative Lester A. Marls, represent ing the republican minority, filed an affl davit In the lower house of the legislature today. In general the charges against Governor Haskell are that he "mismanaged the pub lic funds under his control In whole or In part and has wilfully and designedly au monzea the misappropriation of said fund." The last legislature appropriated 16.000 to be expended under the direction of the governor in the auditing of territorial account. In his affidavit Representative Marls charges that Governor Haskell paid neany iz.ioo of this fund to a private de tective, who, Mr. Marls charges. Is not an accountant. The legislature also amro- prlated 13,000 to be used by the governor In paying for Investigating committees and tho traveling expenses of delegates to various national conventions. The gover nor Is charged with paying this sum to the private detective, also. Representative Marls charges that Gov ernor Haskell paid to O. T. Smith, his law clerk, publio money In addition to the latter's regular salary, which Mr. Marls says .was not for state purposes, but In the Interest of the governor. The affidavit also calls attention to an alleged similar I'sjin-ni vi : 10 w. r. ilutcn'ng g Muskogee lawyer, Indicted with Governor Haskell in the town lot fraud cases. . W. B. Anthony, the governor's private secretary, is also a member of the legisla ture and Representative Maris In his affi davit asserts that It Is contrary to the state constitution for Anthony to hold the two positions. Representative Marls, in his charges, tal t up the question of the payment of a sa.t.y to Lieutenant Governor George W. Bellamy as president of the State Banking board In addition to his regular salary.

Attorney Gen eral Wickersham has decided that the dividend) received by a corporation as a stockholder of. any other corporation of the character to which the act imposing a tax of 1 per cent on net Income applies, should be deducted from Its gross Income, regardless of the amount of the net Income of such dividend paying corporation. Creighton Heirs Defeated in Another Court Ruling -w . ' ' ' Attorneys for the heirs of Count Crelgh- ton were defeated In district court whin they led a fight to have modified the re cent ruling of the court with respect to the amount of the residue of the evtate to go to the working girls' home. The three judges or the district court figure It out that the proportion due would come to t3t.S76. (This besides the SOO.UOu In specific bequest). The attorneys for the heirs contended that the amount should be 132.22. The question turned on what the phrase "whole estate." as used In the will, means. The attorneys assorted that thla meant the estate after the charges for administration and debts aguinst It had been deducted.

WAR OF WORDS CONTINUES Packers, Wholesalers and Retailers Are Blaming Each Other. MORE TALK ABOUT TARIFF Wholesaler Hay Canadian Beef Is Sold Cheaper In I.oadon Than Western Beef fa In New York. NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Six hundred repre sentative manufacturers, mostly men of wealth, ate dinner today at the Machinery club of nothing but vegetables and fruit. There were no speeches, but an informal discussion of the advanced cost bf living indicated that the universal protest of the nation has the support of businessmen as well as laboring men. There were further slight recessions In price today in the butcher shops, but quo tations on the whole seem to Indicate that demand and supply are beginning to ap proach an adjustment. , The war of words among the packers, the wholesale dealers and the email , re tailers continues with the Injection today of a new Issue. Wholsalers are agitating for a repeal of the duty on Canadian, Ar gentine and Mexican beef. "Look at the London market," said one of them. "Free competition with beef from Canada, the Argentine and even from Russia rules there, with the result that an Englishman can eat Conadltyi beef, grown JuBt across the border from us, cheaper than Americans can eat their own western steers." ' , A mass meeting at Madison Square, at which a movement in Imitation of the "Boston tea party" as to have been launched against meats by the National Progressive Woman's Suffrage union, was postponed owing t othe weather. At the next meeting of the union a resolution will be presented calling upon the legisla ture to limit the period during which meat may be kept in cold storage. "Eat no meat," In large letters, was pasted all over the West Side today, on shop windows and In many private houses. Twelve of the posters are In butcher shops. PITTSBURG, Jan. 29.

Meat dealers Bow admit they are feeling the anti-meat boycott Reichstag Scene" " of Disorder Statement that King Could Close Body in Ten Minutes Causes Uproar. BERLIN, Jan. 29. The Reichstag was the scene of an angry demonstration of protest today, when In the course of a speech. Herr von Oldenburg, a conservative agrarian, declared "the German emperor, as king of Prussia, must have the right at any moment to order a Prussian lieutenant to come here and within ten minutes close tho Reichstag." At the words all the members on the left side of the house rose to their feet, protest ing with shouts of "scandal," "Impudence" and "breach of the constitution." Herr Schrader, liberal, made a formal pretest against Oldenburg's remarks, which, he said, constituted a grave insult to the Reichstag and to the emperor and army. The conservatives greeted Oldenburg's wotds with thundering applause. - Prince von Hohenlohe, who was presiding, said he understood Oldenburg as meaning only to indicate the degree to which mili tary discipline must be carried. Oldenburg Immediately confirmed this Interpretation of his statement Herr Basserman, national-liberal leader, said he regretted the sentiment had been arplauded from the conservative benches. I FLOODS IN COSTA RICA ARE BLOCKING BANANA HARVEST Urldsrrs Are Washed Oat and Miles of Track Inundated by Heavy Rains. PORT LIMON. Costa Rica, Jan. 29. In cessant and heavy rains are still falling throughout the republic. The Northern railway Is practically out of commission. There haa been no train service with the Interior since the latter part of Decem ber. The entire district . as well as the banana lone of the upper lands near Reventtason river la under water and the cutting of fruit for shipment Is difficult and dangerous. Three slides are reported from Laa Lomas Sunday, enderlng the chances of communication with the capi tal more remote. The Baltimore bridge, built in 190S, dis appeared a week ago. This iron struc ture over the Chirrlpo rive connected the Zent dlstlct with some valuable banana plantations and no fruit can be brought In for shipment until the rain ceases. ( The judges said the whole estate meant all Count Creighton had when he died. If the charges are deducted from tho total then, of course, the proportionate part of the residue which goes to the working girls' home Is smaller and the amount left for the heirs la larger. - The dispute came In the fixing up of the formal decree following a decision of tew days ago, and Judge Estelle, who sat with Judges Redlck and Troup, was moved to remark: . "It seems sometimes as If It took longer to fix up a decree than to hear the law suit" The significant announcement waa made by attorneys for the heirs that they Intend to fight the whole caae to the last ditch. 1 J"? - . . : i ' ' .

(From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. (Special Tele gram.) Secretary lialllnger today submitted a request to congress for an Increase In th'j appropriation alloted to pay salaries of formers to Instruct Indians In the practice of agriculture from 1125.000 to $230,000. "The department has come to the con clusion," says Secretary Ballinger, "that the practice of agriculture among Indians should be encouraged. Need of Increasing funds Is apparent. With a territory of 5,000,000 acres of land, most of It agricul tural In character, the estimated worth $285,000,000, with JCO.OOO.OOO In trust funds held for Indians, available for Improvement of their allottments and with the possibility of beneficial use of these million of acres of allotted lands, there is great necessity fov an Increase in the force of Indian farmers and stockmen." "The delegation of Omaha Indians now In Washington Is not here to protest against wise regulations of the Interior department, as laid down In the Indian offiea but against Its administrative features," was the way Pr. Hunan Piccotte of the delegation voiced the mission ef the Indians today. "What the Indian wants is to enjoy that which Is his. I have yet to hear an In dian protest against paying taxes for the Improvement of his farm, but he does ob ject to having the government pay taxes out of moneys which the Indian ought to be permitted to handle. "The Omahas are a progressive tribe and the government should permit them to take their p'mces in the world. We don't object to educational features surrounding experimental farms. What we do object to, Is the everlasting red tape and Involved propositions growing out of administrative regulations. "We are fit to look after ourselves and we want the government to give us what belongs to us. If there is any money to pay we want to pay it. If things are to bo done, looking to our better condition, we want to participate In doing It and not have some petty clerk do It for us.

CONGRESSMEN Witness Says Representatives Kin kaid and McLachlan Held Coal Claims in Alaska. RAT.T.TNGER CALLED HIM OFF Secretary Told Him Kot to Look Into Holding of Californian. LATTER ATTORNEY FOR KINK AID Service Was Between Time He Was Commissioner and Secretary. MANY LETTERS ARE READ Day's Attack tenters l.ararely oa Land Commissioner Dennett lnfrlendly to the Forestry- WASHINGTON. Jan. 29. Louis R. Olavlf concluded his testimony before the Pal-llnger-Pinchot congressional Investigation commute late today. ' He will be recalled at the reusumptlon of the hearing Monday afternoon for cross examination by any of the persons against whom he has mads charges. Glavis' last day on the stand was full of Interest. It developed the animus which long has existed between the land office and the forestry bureau and the resent ment the land office people felt wher Glavis called In "the forestry," as they termed It. The witness declared that Representative McLachlan of California and Representa tive Klnkatd of Nebraska were Interested In Alaskan claims, and that Mr. Ballinger, after becommlng commissioner of the land office, had acted as attorney for Mr. Kin kald. Glavis asserted that Mr. Ballinger had suggested to him not to pursue an Investi gation against Congressman McLachlan, saying there had "been too much of that sort of thing In the past." When, towards the end of his testimony, Glavis was asked the direct question, If he thought Secretary Ballinger and Commis sioner of tho. Land Office Dennett were in league to do wrong in the Alakaii cases, he replied: "Well; 1 thought the cases would be better protected with them out of the way." Attack Centers on Dennett. Glavis' attack seemed to center more to day on Commissioner Dennett. He said he became convinced In the summer of 1903 that "Dennett was 'crooked,' " and ook steps to secure carbon copies of let ters Dennett was writing back to Wash ington. Several of these letters were in troduced In evidence. One was from Commissioner Dennett t H H. Schwartx, chief of the field sen-Ice. It was dated July 20. 1909, at Seattle ani said among other things: 'My Dear Schwartx: The worst i Ituatloi on the line Is the one I find hire. Oui frhnd Glavis regarded me with sus picion, and after talking a while showet me your telegram assigning the coal casei to Sheridan. Now I figure tha' Glavis Is preparing to make a cushion foi himself to fall back on and also puttlni himself In shape to have a great story It case Sheridan does not make good and suo- ceid In cancelling the Cunningham cases While he looks innocently at me yet I can sec that his heart Is bad, though why It should be I cannot tell except thai he wanted to drag the cases out. He may . be sincere, of course, In his Idea that hf has not been given time and opportunity. He asserts that he will help Sheridan a I' he can, but it Is not human nature, or at least his human nature. The atmospher Is not good at all. "That he Is playing the forestry there li no question, the Innocent look he gave rm when I told him he was dragging In Shaw, etc., when there was no necessity, wai beautiful, He has also talked con servation very strongly. Glavis talklni conservation! All round he Is ugly and hi Is preparing to be as unpleasant as he can, at least that Is my solution of the sltua. tlnn. Glavis professes tho greatest friend ship to you and I think you know him better than any one else, and this is cer tainly the worst situation we have. He will make about forty, favorable and 600 un favorable reports; the way things will com mence to drop will be amusing." Seeond Letter from Dennett. In a second letter from Dennett to Schwartz dated Seattle, July 22, 1909, oo cuia this paragraph: "Glavis has these coal cases on the brain and cannot see anything but Just ont line, I have told him how it looks to us and have reminded him of everything that we have done for him and that It looks oa If he were returning our favors by not standing by us, as he ought to. He haa not acted as you or I- would have acted under similar condition. It jouks a little treacherous to me, this calling in the for estry." There was also Introduced in this con nection a telegram from Schwartz to Den nett, dated Washington, July 21: "Department has letter from secretary of agriculture originating In forest service aitklng postponement of the Cunningham hearings until November, Shaw lays Glavis wrote or wired him recently In mat ter. Require Glavis to show you copy of his letter to Shaw, it being necessary to determine motive behind agriculture's re quest for such long delay." Glavis explained that he had asked Shaw by telegram to come to Seatt'e to co operate with lil in on the Cunningham claims as several of them were in forest reserves. This was how the forestry bureau first came into the controversy officially. Another letter was one from Secretary Ballinger to Mr. Schwartz, dated Boise, Idaho, July 25, 1909, In which the seerolary of the Interior said among other things: "My- Dear Mr. Schwartz: I am Just ad vised by Commissioner Dennett of your telegram in reference to the Increase In the number of special agents In tho ex cepted clas. I desire that you In making any cf these appointments In addition to tne president being consulted, Postmaster General Hitchcock be also consulted, pro vided the appointees are not directly sug grsted by the president." I.vttrr t'auaea a Laaifh. The last document read while Glavis was on the stand called out a great deal of lauiihtcr. It was a telegram from Mr. Schwartz dated Washington, August 12, 1909, at the time attacks were being made upon Secretary lialllnger and others, and was addressed to M. 11. McKnerney," special agent at Denver. It read: "Get scarelieads Into Denver papers Ut nlUt and Asaociated 1'iut, U possible.
