Floods Increase and Death and Des­

Paris, Jan. 28.— Waters of the Seine
creep slowly higher, each inch widely
extending the area o f destrudetion,
desolation and ruin.
Flood conditions had become much
worse at 2 o’clock this morning, partic­
ularly in the south and east sections.
In tha old Latin quarter the situation
was critical.
Tha sidewalk o f the Quai dee Gran­
dee Augustine collapsed and fell into
the Orleans company’s tunnel beneath,
further extending the flood through the
ancient streets, practically the Rue
Jacob and around the Institute of
France.
Many sewers burst in the Twelfth
arrondisaement, one of the biggest in
Paris, the whole o f which is now sub­
merged and has beenplunged into dark­
ness on account o f the breaking of
the gas mains.
Official figures of the stage o f the
water are difficult to obtain, and the
city council at a stormy session to­
night charged M. Lepine, prefect of
Paris,with concealing the gravity of
the situation. The prefect defended
his attitude by saying he was governed
by the necessity o f not unduly alarm
ing the people.
In the meantime terror has been
struck in the hearts o f all. The crust
of the city seems ready to sink into
the flood.
Every hour drains are
bursting in new localities, causing
subsidence of the streets, or a bulge of
several feet, while the overflow o f the
surface water from the river is trans­
forming the inundated districts into
formidable lakes and the streets into
canals.
Washington, Jan. 81. — President
Taft told the periodical publishers of
the Untied States tonight] that, if
they overloaded their criticism of men
in the administrative authority with
unparliamentary expressions and inti­
mations as to lack of honorable mo­
tives, nobody is going to pay any atten­
tion to them.
Although he made no direct allusion
to “ muckraking.” it was plainly evi­
dent at what he was directing his at-
tack.
The president,"addressing the period­
ical publishers association of America
ms their guest at dinner, did not give
this advice to the editors assembled
from all parts o f the nation until he
had prefaced his remarks with good
humored treatment of his relative po­
sition to the wieldera of public opin
ion.
“ This is a formidable gathering to
address,” said President Taft, after
he had been presented by C. H. Smith,
the toastmaster. “ Gentlemen who act
as fates as to what is or is not current
literature, would under any circum­
stances, be formidable to address, and
under conditions prevailing in Wash
ington and in legislative balls, it re­
quires a brave man, standing in my po­
sition, to face them.
“ As to controversies, let me say
that all evidence— questions of facts—
must be weighed broadly to reach an
ultimate conclusion.
It is the case
with every trust, as much as we con­
demn them for their iniquities. The
evidence must be weighed. It does no
good to denounce a person on the w it­
ness stand, if he testifies agains t you.
“ You controllers of public opinion
and controllers o f the rulers of the
country may hammer a man into indif­
ference as to what you say, but at that
he will come nearer to doing right than
if he tried to fight.
‘ But, seriously speaking, I would
like to say that when you criticise a
poor devil exercising a responsible po­
sition, first give him the benefit en­
joyed by every criminal, that o f rea-

tion of revising the rules o f that body
took a new turn and assumed addition­
al importance today » hen Representa­
tive Champ Clark, o f Missouri, leader
of the minority, introduced a resolution
providing for the election by the house
o f a new rules committee of 16. Spe­
cial significance is attached to the
resolution by the fact that Mr. Clark
is a member of the present rules com­
mittee.
Provision is made in the resolution
“ to revise, amend, simplify and codify
the present rules of the house,” and
“ report to the house at the earliest
day practicable.”
An investigation o f the expenses of
the immigration commission, a sequel
to the recent flurry in the house over
charges that members had “ junketed

in a joint resolution introduced by Rep­
resentative Macon, o f Arkansas, creat­
ing a joint committee o f one senator
and two representatives for the pur­
pose. Mr. Macon was the author of
the charges on the floor o f the house.
Secretary Dickinson today informed
Delegate Wickersham, o f Alaska, in a
letter, that he could not accede to his
request that Major W. P. Richardson,
of the army, be relieved from duty in
Washington, as his services were re­
quired here in connection with the
work o f the board of road commission­
ers of Alaska, of which be is president.
Mr. Wickersham based his request
for the removal o f Major Richardson
on the ground that he was lobbying be­
fore committees of congress " f o r his
special work in Alaska.”
Washington, Jan. 28.— The postal
savings bank bill was favorably report­
ed to the senate today from the senate
committeee on postoffices and poet
roads, virtually in the form submitted
by the subcommittee. Senator Carter,
who will have charge of the measure,
w ill seek an early opportunity to se­
cure consideration of it by the senate.
The house committee on public lands
voted today to report favorably the
Mondell bill, admitting to entry the
surface o f coal lands in the United
States.
The measure affects about
30,000,000 acres of land in Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
The bill makes it possible for actual
settlers to make entry on the surface
o f coal lands under the homestead act
or the desert land entry law and also
makes possible withdrawals under the
reclamation act.
The United States
would issue a patent to such lands,
but would reserve all rights to coal
on the land as well as the privilege of
prospecting, mining and removing the
coal.
Suggesting the creation o f a commit­
tee on the budget to determine at the
beginning o f each session of congress
the list of appropriations by each com­
mittee of the house. Representative
Douglas, of Ohio, today insisted that
only by such a method could military
expenditures be kept down in the in­
terest of larger allowances for agricul­
ture.
On a point o f order the house elim­
inated a provision authorising the sec­
retary of agriculture to purchase and
destroy animals suffering from pluero
pneumonia.
The senate spent more than two
hours in an academic discussion of the
tariff with especial consideration of its
effect upon the present high prices
of food products.
Washington, Jan. 27.— Regulation
o f the prices o f food through the tariff
is sought in a bill introduced today by
Representative Sabath, Democrat, of
Illinois. The bill places such articles
o f food as sugar, flour, eggs, vege­
tables and meat on the free liaL The

committee and is likely to remain
there.
Representative Boutell, of Illinois,
declared in the house today that time

T a ft’s assertion that the Payne act
was the best tariff law ever passed by
congress.
. A determined effort is being made
by representatives from Pacific coast
states to secure an appropriation for
building a fleet o f submarine torpedo
boats for station on the Pacific coast,
and the movement is under way to get
an appropriation in the pending navy
bill for ten submarines to be built im­
mediately, all o f them to be used on
the Pacific! coast.
The postal savings bank bill, drafted
by Senators Garter, Doll i ver and
Owen, a subcommittee o f the commit­
tee on postoffices and poatroads, were
perfected today and was introduced in
the senate by Carter.
It was referred to the poetoffice com­
mittee and probably w ill be reported
back to the senate tomorrow.
Unless the Ballinger Pinchot inves­
tigating
committee makes
radical
change from the mode o f procedure it
has adopted, its work will be interm­
inable. One committeeman declared
today that at the rate of progress set
at first session, it would take 19 years
to complete the inquiry.
Children Forced to Work.
Chicago, Jan. 81.— High prices for
food in Chicago are driving chil Iren to
work. In the last three months 1,000
more permits have been asked o f the
state factory inspector’s office than in
the corresponding three months a year
ago. This is an increase o f more (than
38 per cenL
It is attributed not to
any sudden demand o f employes for the
services o f minors, but to the necessi­
ties o f workingmen’s families, which
have compelled children to work to
buy food.
T aft Hastens to Reassure Trusts.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The T aft ad­
ministration made it clear today that
it does not intend to frighten the in­
dustries of the country by indiscrimin­
ate prosecutions under the Sherman
anti-trust law and that stories to the
effect that the pretent action against
the beef trust was the result o f public
agitation or the new departure are un­
