WASHINGTON, April 1.—Messages
continued to come to President Wilson
today from foreign rulers expressing
sympathy for sufferers in the Hoods.
King George, of England, cabled:
"I am greatly distressed at the news
of the disastrous flood and the grievous
loss of life caused by them. I desire
to express to your excellency my deep
sympathy with yourself and the people
of the United States in your misfor-
K tune."
The president replied: "Allow me, in
the name of the people and government
of the United States, to express deep
appreciation of your majesty's kind
message of condolence."
King Immanuel of Italy cabled:
"On hearing the news of the floods
that have devastated prosperous regions
and made so many victims. I beg you
to believe in the sentiment of sincere
and deep sympathy with which I join
your country’s mourning."
President Wilson responded:
"Your majesty’s touching words of
sympathy in the terriblejoss of life and
property which has ' befallen many

Bryan Cheers, Heart
Of Elevator Boy in
State Department
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 1.—Elevator op*
erators in the state department no longer
will be compelled to remain on duty
while the secretary of state remain m
the Igyilding. Secretary Bryan believes
when an elevator conductor has worked
eight hours it is time for him to quit
for the day. Incidentally he is of the
opinion that walking down a ccuple of
flights of stairs will work no hardship
on a government official.
Recently Mr. Bryan was detained in his
office until 6:30 in the evening, two hours
after the clerks had left the building.
When the secretary came out of his of
fice he started for the stairs. But the ele
vator man who runs the lift nearest Mr.
Bryan’s office was still on duty.
"What hours do you work?" asked the
secretary.
"From 8:45 a. m. until 4:45 p. m." said
the man.
•"Well it is now after 6:30. You ought
to have been home long ago."
"But it is against the rule to leave
when the secretary is in the building,"
explained the operator.
"Well, it is not necessary for you to
remain while this secretary is detained
after hours," said Mr. Bryan with em
phasis. "Besides, it won't hurt any gov
ernment official to walk down two flights
of stairs."
UNCLE SAM COUNTING
WEALTH ON “FOOL'S" DAY
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 1.—The money
in the treasury Is again being counted,
but this time, with the exception of the
cash in the teller’s room, it is being
counted by bundles.
With the Induction into office of a
new treasurer of the United States, the
money In the treasury has to be
checked up, and the induction of former
Governor Burke,, of North Dakota, as
treasurer under President Wilson has
proven no exception to the rule.
The work now is going forward in
the teller’s room. With that finished,
the money in the vaults will be hauled
out and counted. Counting by package
has been decided upon in order to save
time, as it has been only about three
months since the money was counted
last. Should the piece by piece count
be followed, it is said, it would take at
least three months to finish the job.
President Is Scheduled for
Conference With Under
wood on Tariff at Night
(By Associated Press.)

Owen, chairman of the new senate cur
rency committee, had a brief talk with
President Wilson today about curren

but laid the foundations for future
conferences. He expressed the opinion
that while probably several individual
bills might be introduced, one measure
would be clothed with administration
support.
ELIXIR OF YOUTH IS
FOUND IN RADIUM
LONDON, April 2.—That radium can
restore the hardened arteries of middle
aged persons to a healthy condition and
so prolong life was the claim made by
Dr. Saubermann, of Berlin, in a lecture
here before the Roentgen society yes
terday.
The apparatus which will manufac
ture this "elixir of youth" is simple.
It consists Qf an earthen ware recepta
cle, containing a minute amount of ra
dium, which is placed at the bottom of
a glass bottle. The bottle is filled with
water.
In time the water becomes charged
with radium emanations. The radium
remains active for hundreds of years,
so it is only necessary to renew the
water in order to get any number of
doses.

Factory and Houses Found
12 Miles Away
(By Associated Press.)
ZANESVILLE, Ohio, April 1.—Believ
ing that the necessity for troops in this
city liqs passed, Colonel O. C. Wey-
brecht, in command here, stated today
that he would ask for the withdrawal
of the soldiers, as he believed they were
more badly needed in Ohio river cities.
The Muskingum river is again in its

their homes. Dr. L. N. Bishop, of Cleve

had actually been swept away. Five
hundred more are ready to collapse.
A committee has been appointed to
inspect numerous business structures
which have cracked Or sunken and are
considered in dangerous conditibn.
It will cost $40,000 to repair the "Y"
bridge.
Colonel Weybrecht estimated that the
damage in the city is $8,500,000, exclu
sive of the Putnam district and the
losses in the county. Railroad traffic
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad east
was resumed today, passengers walking
two miles over the flood stretch to reach
trains.
A span and a half of the Third street
bridge was found eleven miles down

from entering the circulation. Unless you keep your

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 31.—
Pocket knives were used by convicts in
cutting their way to freedom from the
wooden prison at the McPhaul Turpen
tine company’s camp at Local, said
R. D. McPhaul, former president, in his
testimony before C. E. McCall, chief
examiner in the investigation of the
convict department Monday.
Mr. McPhaul said the men out a hole
fourteen by twenty inches through a
one-inch double flooring and got away
without attracting the attention of the
guard, who was supposed to be awake
and on duty all night. The guard whom
the witness thought was named Steed
was discharged.
J. D. Johnston, p resident of the tur
pentine company, told of the death of a
negro convict who was killed two weeks
ago while attempting to escape from the
woods where he and other prisoners
were placing turpentine cups. Mr. John
ston said the convict ran about forty-
five yards and was hot in the back by
a guard named Yarbrough.
“How long did the guard remain at
the camp after shooting the convict?"
asked R. B. Evins, counsel for the state.
The surprising answer was, "Why, he
is still employed as guard there."
Witness said he thought the matter
was reported to the convict department,
but could not sky whether or not an
investigation was conducted.
Trains bringeing witnesses from Bir
mingham were two hours late and the
hearing was postoponed until they could
appear for examination.

Police Believe Mysterious
Death Was Caused by Au-
toists Near Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 1.—Mystery
surrounds the death of John Gonner,
aged sixty-five, whose body was found
lying in a pool of blood, face down
ward, on the Louisville road five miles
from this city early Tuesday.
Two pools of blood were found in the
road, one where the automobile struck
Conner and the other about fourteen
feet down the road. Officers who in
vestigated the tragedy are inclined to
believe that the man was hit by a party
of joy riders, who, after the collision,
g<5t out of their car and dragged the
body to their machine, and, on finding
that the blow had been fatal, resumed
their journey.
A man who gave his name as Peter
Huffman has been placed under arrest.
Huffman was found asleep on the road
side near the scene of the killing, with
his mule and buggy narby. Huffman
claims that he and Conner had been
out drinking together, and that the mule
had wandered into a ditch, completely
wrecking the buggy. He states that
when he found they could not proceed
he went to sleep near the buggy, while
Conner wandered off down the road.

mission Finds Colorado
Judges Riding Free
WASHINGTON, April 2.—Investiga
tion by Commisioner Harlan, of the in
terstate commerce commission, into the
practice of Colorado railroads of giving
free transportation has brought sensa
tional results. Criminal indictments of
large shippers and offeding carriers have
been returned.
Commissioner Harlan personally con
ducted an investigation and in his own
characterization of the situation, he "de
veloped violations of the law on an ex
traordinary scale.” Mr. Harlan said in
a preliminary report handed down today
that "in one month over a single rail-’
road 7,000 trip were made on passes.
Not only shippers who controlled rout
ing of traffic in any aprpeciable quan
tity were favored at all times, but even
public officials, careless of duty, morals
and danger, accepted, even demanded
these favors of the carriers.

Disapproval
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, April 2.—Very disquieting
news has reached here of grave excesses
committed by the Servian and Monte
negrin troops in Albania.
Altogether the situation in regard to
the Balkans is such that diplomats are
greatly perturbed lest the veneer of
peaceability at present binding the pow
ers should crack.
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, informed the house of com
mons today that, as Montenegro had
resume^ the attitude on Scutari con
trary to the will of the European pow
ers, the latter had decided to proceed
with the naval demonstration off the
Montenegrin coast. Two British war
ships, he said, were ready to partici
pate.
No reply to the peace note of the
powers has been received from the Bal
kan allies.
The ambassadors in London decided
today at the last moment that it was
useless to hold the meeting they had
projected, owing to the uncertainty of
affairs in the Near East.

Correspondent Tells
How Bulgarians Took
City of Adrianople
(By Associated Press.)
PARIS, April 3.—A correspondent
of The Journal sends an account ot
the storming of Adrianople in a dis
patch dated Adrianople, March 28. He
says the collapse, after a forty-eight
hours’ assault of the fortress, which
had resisted the efforts of t:ie besieg
ers fv»r five months is soon explainea.
When the allies get within the lines
the "terrible" forts, which were sup
posed to have thick walls of concrete,
turned ,out to be more or less imagin
ary. The so-called "Ihdestruclible ’
Alvas Vabieh, the key of the defense
was really only of brick construction.
During the siege Shukri Pasha had
m w re heavy guns than the investing
armies and by moving cnem was able
to crush the fire on the side attacked.
On March 24, however, General
Ivanhoff ordered a general attack from
all sides. The only point • where the
fight was slack was opposite Alvas
Tabi> h. There Ivanhoff massed 25,-
000 picked troops. Their first operation
was to carry with the bayonet the Tur
kish advanced positions at Maslak. The
Turkish artillery at Aivas Tazleh open
ed a terrific fire on Maslak and two
Bulgarian batteries were wiped out.
Tho Bulgarians then directed elgnty
heavy siege pieces on Avias Tabieh,
which soon became a shapeless mass
of crumbling masonry.
Meanwhile, the Bulgarian infantry
crept cautiously forward ready to rush
the fort from which the firm bed prac
tically ceased at nigtfaU. When the
supreme moment arrived General Ivan-
hoff ordered four regiments to ad
vance.
The Twenty-Third got through the
barbed wire entanglements by throwing
their coats across .ae wires. The
Turks bolted, abandoning their posi
tions. The Twenty-Third rushed into
Fort Alves Tabieh and immediately the
Bulgarian field guns and mortars rushed
up and took positiones. These and the
guns in the forts were turned on the
other Turkish defenses, attached on tho
flank, made slight resistances.
In the meantime, two Bulgarian regi
ments entered the city in triumph, # with
colors flying and bayonets fixed. At lo
o’clock in the morning, Shukri Pasha,
who had hoisted the white flag on the
watch tower and sent out flags of truce
to ask for a cessation of hosti*.Jes was
taken prisoner before any of his mes
sengers returned.

They Are Closely Observing
Public Health Conditions I!!!! H811(1801118 Sim
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble is
so common to the American people, and
the large majority of applicants do not
even suspect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful in re
lieving and curing these diseases than
any remedy known. The mild and heal
ing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its remarkable record of
cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad
vise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give It a trial. It is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of

BOTH CINCINNATI AND
LOUISVILLE PASS CRISIS
Flood Recedes at Both Cities,
5,000 Barrels of Whisky
Lost at Louisville
(By Associated Press.)
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 2.—-A large
warehouse of th© Rugby Distillery com
pany in the western end of the city
weakened by flood waters, collapsed
late last night, releasing to the river
about 5,000 barrels of whisky valued
at a quarter of a million dollars. A
dam hastily constructed saved a num
ber of the barrels.
The threatened collapse of weakened
buildings was the only source of anx
iety today as the crest of the flood
passed Louisville at a stage of 45.1
early today. At 8 o’clock the river
had fallen back to 45, but it was be
lieved it would remain nearly station
ary at this stage for twenty-four
hours. Life-saving crews and firemen
were prepared to continue their work
of anchoring houses that appeared
threatened.
Lower river points today continued
to experience rising waters. Paducah,
with water standing mow than two
feet deep in the lower sections of the
city, faced the menace of a useless
lighting plant. Henderson and Owens
boro, safe from flood damage them
selves, were taxed with the care of
hourly increasing refugees.
At Wyckliffe, where are gathered
more than 3,000 refugees from Hick
man, Cairo and Columbus, the shelter
situation was becoming acute, and it
was expected that another appeal to
Governor McCreary for tents would be
made today.

BLEASE WILL TAKE HARSH *
ACTION AGAINST OFFICERS!
Carolina Governor Declaresl
That He Will Preserve Good j
Feeling Among Military,
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 2.—In dis
missing the complaint lodged with him
against Major Joseph R. Allen by seven
officers of his batallion of the South
Carolina national guard, Governor
Blease says: "It ordered and adjudged,
that the complaint be dismissed, and it
is requested that order and harmony
shall prevail in the ranks of the militia.
And, as commander-in-chief, I will pos
itively disband the next company that
comes up with this internecine strife,
and will, if threre be any military way
to do so, relievfe from office the next
officer guilty of the least breach of
discipline tending to cause strife amoiuc
his brother officers or the privates with
in his ranks.
"This is all said and done in good
spirit, with ill will towards none, with
love for the militia and love for the
men, but it takes harsh measures to
stop this strife and dissension, and
harsh measures will be used.
"I hope that this will be an end to
this strife and to this bickering, and If
it is not to be the end, I desire, in my
closing sentence, to advise those who
are not satisfied to resign before they
are requested to do so."
Following a court-martial and public
reprimand from the commander-in-chief
of Captain Dibert Jackson for breach
of military discipline, this officer, with
six others in his battalion, lodged
charges against their major, Joseph
Allen, and asked for a court of inquiry.
It is in dismissing this complaint that
Governor Blease warns that this strife
must cease or he will take harsh meas
ures, if they be necessary, to shend the
bickering.
