A dramatic ending to the efforts of Senator Gamble and Con gressman Burke, ot South Dakota, to secure a emergency appropriation to he used In breaking an Ice gorge formed on the Missouri river between Vermilion snd Tankton. which threat ened the destruction Tf hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property through the accumulation of back water dammed by the gorge came st snout t o'clock today, when s telegram waa received that the gorge waa broken snd the danger waa past. President Antra At the moment the message was re ceived that the Ice had given way. Sen ator Gamble waa on hta feet on the floor of the senate to present a Joint resolution calling for the appropriation snd Congressman Burke had Just stsrted for the house chamber with a similar resolution, both having paved the way tor its immediate passage in both branches by conference with the chair men of the appropriation committees. Furthermore, earlier In the day. when the news was received here of the possible damage that would be caused by the gorge. Senator Gamble had gone to the president with a statement of the situation and had secured his sgree ment for a special messsge to congress on the matter and for his signature to the legislation as soon ss It had paaaed. Instructions had also been given to the War department to pro- pare Its machinery for immediate opera tion so that within a few hours they would have been en the scene to destroy the gorge and avert the destruction. Naturally the South Dakota senator and congressman were much relieved, though they expressed satisfaction over demonstrating how quickly they had been able to meet the situation. Katie ManaVll Released. An order wss Issued todsy by the bureau of Immigration to release from detention' at Ellis Island Katie Man dell, the dsughter of Mr. Msndell of Omaha, national director of the Hebrew Immigration and Sheltering society. Miss Msndell hsd come from Russia with her mother and sister Intending to gn to Omaha. She waa not In good health, however, snd the authorities would not allow the party to go on. The matter came before the Immigration bureau here and letters were received from Omaha by Senator Brown. Senator Hitchcock and Congressman Lobeck asking them to take the matter up and secure Miss Mandeil's release. Through action on the part ot the delegation the authorities were convinced that it would be proper for the party to go west and an order was issued to that effect, the required bond in such cases being furnished. The Omaha Commercial club, through Commissioner Guild, has gons oa record aa. favoring the Levar Mil providing for agricultural extension. ; A lettaf to that effect was received by Senator Hitchcock today. A 'telegram received from Des Moines today reads: "As to the Iowa situation. It Is as follows: Tart needs only slxty- rive delegates to cinch the state conven tion. The president has fit delegates In structed or pledged at this time. He Is absolutely certain of six of the eleven congressional districts. Three hundred and .forty-three-delegates are yet to be chosen, thirty-one counties yet to hold conventions, eight ot which hsve held caucuses. There Is not the slightest doubt of Tsft controlling the stats con vention and securing the four delegates- at-large. Ida county has gons for Taft, which Is a distinct gain. This makes It certain that Taft will have sixteen of the twenty-six delegates from Iowa." The bill authorising the sale ot the un allotted lands ot the Omaha Indians, now before the house committee and which recently passed the senate, where It was introduced by Senstor Brown, will be reported next Friday according to a member of the committee. It waa found necessary to make some further allotments to members of the tribe who had not received their share and this matter must be attended to before the bill can be reported.

The lowest county bridge on the Jaraee was forced up stream for half a mile by the Ice which packed the lower end of the James river.
