City Is Without Fire Protection and Public Schools Are Dismissed. Company Is Criticised. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 16.-(Special.)-For the past 34 hours Eugene has been with out water, and those wholly dependent upon the city system are In distress, the main being dry. There is no fire pro tection and the schools have been dis united. At the office of the Willamette Valley Company, the real cause of the trouble Is not known to the employees and telephonic communication with these who do know has been cut off. This Is the second time the city has been left without water in the past two weeks, and the lncenvenience and danger of the situation Is becoming alarming. One of the most trying features Is that no explanation has been given the peo ple. A little light was thrown on the matter by one of the water company managers this afternoon when he stated that the- trouble was at the Intake. It seems that the pipe has- been clogged up, probably dirt and brush brought down by the high water. Why the new reservoir had not been filled to supply the city in such an em ergency does not appear. A local newspa per says the big tasln has never been In us. Mr. Welsh, the real manager of the SUSTAINS SPHAYIXG LAW. Clackamas Jury Gives No Damages Against Fruit Inspector. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 16. (Spe cial.) The validity of the state horti cultural law. making the spraying: of infected orchards compulsory, and In default thereof authorizing the fruit inspector to cut flown or otherwise de stroy trees so affected, was sustained, in the Circuit Court here today, when a jury found a verdict for the defend ant in toe suit of T. R. A. Sellwood against ex-Fruit Inspector J. H. Reid, of this county. This was the suit In which Mr. Sellwood sought to recover 12000 damages from Mr. Reid for the destruction of 34 10-year-old prune trees by Mr. Reid while the latter was acting in his official capacity of fruit inspector. The case was submitted to the jury at 2 o'clock this afternoon and the ver dict was reported three hours later. It is not known whether or ' not the case will be appealed. The constitutionality of the horticul tural law. providing for compulsory spraying of orchards, was not directly assailed by Attorney C. D. Latourette, who appeared for the plaintiff. - He contended, however, that the defend ant, J. H. Held, as county fruit in spector, exceeded . his authority when he entered upon his client's premises and cut down 34 10-year-old prune trees without first having proceeded with the spraying of the infected trees, the expense to operate as a lien on the property, with a view to determin ing if the pest could not be eradicated and the life and productiveness of the trees preserved and enhanced. He maintained that the law did not contemplate destroying and confiscat ing personal property and insisted that the proceedings of Reid were In excess of the police power sought to be con ferred under the statute. Tho court refused, however, to so instruct the jury. V LOSS IS SI (Continued 'from First Page.)

Everett, Arlington, Mount Vernon and a score of smaller towns are cut off from the outer world by floods in -the Snohomish, Skykomlsh, Stlllaguamlsh, Smam mlsh and Skagit Rivers. . At least five lives have been lost and the property loss will exceed $1,000,000. Scattlefaces a. fuel famine. The. small steamers of the Puget Sound mosquito fleet are without fuel, and many of them are tied up at Seattle, Tacoma and Everett. .The steamer Edith, in the harbor here with a cargo of coal for San Francisco, will probably be unloaded to relieve the distress locally.

It was expected that the sudden change for the colder in the weather this mormng might have a tendency to at least retard a further rise in the stage of the Willamette and Clacka mas Rivers here, but the continued rainfall of this afternoon and tonight dispels that belief, and the problem of high water conditions, .'now considered imminent, are without solution. The Willamette Is not rising as rapidly as yesterday, an increase of only 1.1 feet in the stage of that river occurring in the last 24 hours. A further rise, how ever, of one foot will necessitate the closing of the locks and suspending operations in some of the departments at the paper mills. , During last night the Stage of the Clackamas River, which had been bank full for 48 hours, had receded about four feet, but this volume has been supplied today by the backwater from the Willamette, so that the stream has again attained a height that is alarm ing. The effect of the backwater, how ever, is to destroy the naturally pow erful current of the Clackamas, and the management of the O. W. P. & Ry. Co. is pleased with the altered conditions, which favor the safety of its bridge across that stream for the present at least. i . Reports from Aurora re to the effect that the Molalla is a raging stream, on account of -which the Southern Pa cific railroad bridge Is considered in great danger of being washed nut. There has lodged against this struc ture driftwood extending for fully a quarter of a mile upstream, and be cause of which a tremendous pressure is .brought against that structure.

Reaches Sitka With Deck Seams Open and , Leaking Firemen Attempt to Mutiny. SEATLB. Nov. 16. The United States cable ship Bumside, Captain Henry W. Stamford, arrived at Sitka at 3 o'clock this afternoon, .according to advices to the Post-Intelligencer, with her deci seams open, having encountered very rough weather. The damage to the ves sel is considerable, but it is not believed at the local office of the Signal Corps that the work of cable laying will be de layed more than a few ays.

During the trip the vessel was entirely submerged at time The cabins were filled with water, i) ire men tried to mutiny and it was with difficulty that they were kept at their posts.

Questions of Law Are Passed Upon and the Interested Parties Will Learn Results First. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. A decision was reached late today by the Episcopal court of review, which has heard the appeal of Rev. Dr. Algernon S. Crapsey from the verdict of the diocesan court of the west ern diocese of New York, which found the Rochester clergyman guilty of heresy. The decision was not made public. It will first be served upon Bishop Walker, of the diocese of Western New York, to be communicated to the president of the standing committee of the diocese and to Dr. Crapsey. Fwilowing these formalities the conclusions of the court will be made public at Buffalo. The' court of review met in a third ses sion here today and received the written opinion upon the case of each member of the court, which had been prepared fol lowing the adjournment of the previous session. At an earlier sitting the court heard the argument of counsel. Dr. Crapsey, while rector of St. An drew's Church at Rochester, was placed on trial and convicted of heretical teach ings. The case was promptly appealed to the Episcopal court of review, which finally disposed' of it today. Rev. Dr. Henry Anstlce, clerk of the court of review, will convey to the par ties concerned the decision, which, it is expected, will be made public Monday morning. It Is understood that the decis ion is based purely on questions of law and is either a reversal of the diocesan court which convicted Dr. Crapsey Qr an affirmation of that conviction. It was in timated that the court had not felt itself, under the canon which created it, able to deal with matters of doctilne, faith OS worship. In the case it was held, dur ing the hearing of the appeal, the dio csan court had distinct jurisdiction. The case will not, it was explained, be sent to the general convention for ad judication, and but the two alternatives suggested were possible.
