FLOOD DESTROYS
ANOTHER TOWN
BLACK RIVER FALLS, WIS., IS
WIPED OFF THE MAP BY
RAGING TORRENT.
CASUALTY LIST WAS HEAVY
Disaster Caused by Sudden Rise of
Black River Behind" Dams of
LaCross Power Co.
LaCrosse, Wis. The situation at
Black River Falls, the precipitous lit
tle city of 2,000 population, swept by
a flood when waters of Black river,
swollen by recent rains, washed
through the embankment "of the La
Crosse Water Power company's dams
at Hatfield, is "worse by far than was
even feared when the deluge burst
upon the unfortunate town. It is im-
possible, to ascertain tne loss oi me.
It is believed the casualty list will
be heavy.
Half of the business section was
destroyed, together with a part of
the residence district, and it is alleg-
ed by the residents who have taken
refuge on high lands that the city
will be wiped off the map. The peo-
pie have been scattered, and canvass-
es are being made to determine how
many are missing. 7
The buildings have been not merely
flooded, but destroyed. The. Tremont
hpteL-substenjUal ..three-story struc
ture, was the first to go, and one
building after another followed. No
precaution could be taken to stop the
wrecking of the town.
The disaster was caused by the sud-
den rise, of the Black river behind
the two dams of the LaCross Water
Power company, following rains
which lasted almost a week. The
dams withstood the pressure, but in
each case the river washed around
the sides, taking out a big section
of the river bank and coming down
upon the country below in almost as
great volume as though the dams had
been swept away. "
The $5,000,000 property of the wa-
ter company is believed to be not
greatly damaged and it is said that headquarters of the strikers and phy

structure 10 feet thick at the base
and 50 feet at the too. would prob-
ably stand all the force which might
be directed against it.
Besides the damage at Black River
Falls, a great tract of surrounding
country was overrun. Effort was
made to send warnings to farmers,
but telephone wires soon went down,
and the fate of many settlers who
knew nothing of the floods until it
struck their immediate localities is
the cause of some apprehension.
Below Black River Falls are a num
ber of villages, and the high waters
are due to strike them during the
night. Forces of men have been
sent out to strengthen the bridges in
the three counties along the river

STRIKERS ARE ENJOINED
emporary Papers Issued Restraining
Strikers From Interfering With,
G. & F. Ry's Affairs.
Augusta, Ga. Following the grant
ing of a restraining order by Judge
Sheppard at Valdosta in the Georgia
and Florida railroad case, conferences
were held at Douglas between . citi
zens, officials of the road and ,repre
sentatives of the strikers. What the
form of arbitration will be is not now
known here, except that the president
of-the road has "wired "XJenefal Mana
ger Turner to agree to '.arbitration un
der the Erdman act. '
Information .though unofficial, is to
the effect that progress has ' been
made toward a satisfactory settle
ment of the strike.
There is a shortage of food supplies
all along the line, which is increas
ing daily, and "the business men are
taking an active interest in efforts
toward a settlement through neces
sity. . .
Augusta, Ga. Offers to arbitrate
the Georgia and Florida railway
strike , have been made and the rail
road is willing, but the strikers are
not. A telegram from Vice President
Teat, of the firemen, stated that the
srikers would not arbitrate. , Vice
President Bemiss of the Georgia and
Florida stated that xhe had given per
mission to General Manager Turner,
now at Douglas, to arbitrate the dif
ferences under the provisions of the
Erdman act if the strikers would
agree. There has been no disturb
ance here.
The ; strikers are ordered to show
cause before the "court-why the tem
porary restraining order should not
be made permanent. t
In the application for the injunc
tion it is alleged that the operation of
the road has been seriously hamper
ed by disturbances, intimidation of
workmen and destruction of property
by the strikers.
FLORIDA ROAD ASKS DAMAGE
Seaboard Air Line and Knickerbocker
Trust Company Are Defendants. .
Jacksonville, Fla. Suit for the re
covery of $6,000,000 damages was filed
in the United States court here
against the Seaboard Air Line rail
way, the Knickerbocker Trust com
pany of New York, Charles H. Keep,
Francis Henderson, R. V. Matthews,
C. W. Lucas and Frank Q. Brown of
New York, and H. Reiman Duval of
New Jersey, the plaintiffs in the suit
being the Florida Railway company,
of which Frank Drew of this city is
president. George M, Powell, a stock
holder in the Florida Railway compa
ny, instituted the suit by filing a prae
cipe, conspiracy being charged to the.
defendants. ' .
This suit ranks as, one of the most
important in the state of Florida and
promises to become of national im
portance, plaintiffs claiming they will
showviolation of the Sherman law.
It is held by the directors of "the
Florida Railway company that the al
leged attempt to prevent the delivery
of the bonds and the completion of
the vv-drk of the Florida Railway com
pany to an Atlantic port, the Knicker
bocker Trust company and the Sea
board Air Line company have entered
a conspiracy to restrain ' trade and
commerce. It is also held that the
Sherman law applies to a railway
company quite as much as to a con
cern of other nature.

Men. .
Augusta, Ga. The operation of

PR0BING COTTON CORNERS
Government Alleges Corners Are in
Violation of Anti-Trust Law.
Washington. The legal contest be
fore the Supreme court of the Unit
ed States over the question of wheth
er a corner of the cotton market is
a violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law began when Solicitor General
Lehman filed a brief contending that
the law so applies. -
The point arose from the appeal
of the government from the action of
the New York Federal court in quash
ing certain counts of an indictment
against James A. Patton, Eugene G.
Scales, Frank B. Hayne and William
P. Brown. ' ,
A general corner can no more be
accomplished in a commodity like
cotton without affecting the entire
commerce in that staple,' says the so
licitor general, "than Shylock's bond
could be enforced without shedding a
drop of blood." -

Govern mentUrges Vaccination. '
Washington. The - prevalence of
typhoid fever in practically ever sec
tion of the United States has inspired
the public health and marine hospital
service to press publicly its belief in
the artificial . immunity, with certain
limitations, afforded by anti-typhoid
vaccination-, already compulsory in the
American army for soldiers under 45
years of age. In a report just issued
the public health service reproduces
the summary of the findings of a com
mission of the Academy of Medicine of
Paris which investigated the subject.
"Anti-typhoid vaccination," the French
commission declares, "does not accom
plish the" complete disappearance of
this infectious disease , in the 'com
munities where it is practiced, but it
diminishes very notably its frequence.
