Tracka of the Great Gorge Route Cov ered From the Lower Steel Arch Bridge to Lewlston Power House of Ontario Power Company Flooded and Machinery Damaged Estimat ed Loss of $1,000,009. Twice this year, and for the first I lino In the history of the Niagara, the voice of the mighty river hag been mute. The first time was late In February when, following a severe northerly blow, the falls ran dry, and low, for the Becond time, following a levere sou'wester, when the flood Is frozen solid from bank to bank. Unprecedented weather has brought about unprecedented conditions. On Wednesday of laHt week the worst pale of the season and the most vio lent that the records of the weather bureau have ever recorded for April tore out of the southwest, and follow ing the lakes and the channel of the Niagara, left ruin in Its wake. The solid Ice fields of Lake Erie were rimmed from end to end and piled in n huge conglomerate at the lower end of the lake. At Niagara Falls there had been a heavy Ice bridge n the pool below the cataract since the middle of the winter. Under the Impact of the mass of Ice from the lake above and the added floods brought down by the wind, the bridge gave way and began to surge down the rapids; but before It could win freedom In the ample waters of Lake Ontario, the wind shift ed again to the north. Instantly the moving floes packed at the mouth of the liver. Each Instant of cold con gealed the pack more solidly and each hour brought added pressure from above. Unable to escape by Its natural channels the level of the river rose by leaps rnd bounds. The highest flood level record from previous years Is 28 feet above the normal. Friday night the river was 40 feet above normal. Water poured over the window sills of the power house of the Ontario Pow er company, which had been placed at what all engineers thought to be a r.afe height, above any possible dan ger, and Hooded the machines. The trackR of the Great Gorge Route were, with a few stretches excepted, covered from the lower steel arch bridge to lewlston. Conservative estimates place the damage at $1,000,000. All day Sunday a constant stream of visitors poured down the railway tracks, the trolley tracks, packed the trains and the cars and even rode and walked cross-country to see a sight that is not likely to repeat it self within the lifetime of the present generation. Under a brlllant sun the river lay white and glistening to the horizon. And It was silent, absolutely voiceless for the first time within their memories. The weight of that silence was an Imponderable thing, but It hung heavy on all who listened, with a chilling solemnity more awful than the roar of the rapids. HOUSE PASSES PAYNE BILL One Republican Voted Against and ' Four Democrats For It. After three weeks' consideration the Payne tariff bill was passed by the house of representatives by a vote of 21" to 161. One Republican, Aus tin (Tenn.), voted against the meas ure, and four Democrats, all from Louisiana, Messrs. Broussard, Estop Inul, Pujo and Wlckllffe, voted for it. An attempt by Champ Clark, the min ority leader, to recommit the bill with Instructions signally failed. The final vote demonstrated the ca pacity of the Republican organization to get together. The situation with respect to lumber was greatly relieved to the Republican leaders when it be came manifest that the advocates of the proM)sltion placing It on the free list were in the minority. One of the principal changes ef fected In the Payne bill since its In troduction was the placing of petrol eum on the free list. This involved a more seriously contested fight than any of the other amendments. Speak er Cannon, during debate on the amendment to reduce the duty, took the floor In defense of the higher rate of duty. Although an amendment to place oil on the free list was lost Thursday, a similar amendment tf fered by Chairman Payne on Friday was carried. Among the other Important unend ments that have been made since the bill came from committee were thoso fiiiklng out the provision for a duty on tea and the countervailing dtty proviso on coffee. The elimination of the maximum duty of 20 per cent on coffee, contained In the maximum and minimum section of the bill. was also significant. Hides, hosiery and gloves were left as reported by the committee, hides remaining free and an incre.md duty being presented for gloves and Btock lngs.

DIRECT NOMINATIONS BEATEK Assembly Overwhelmingly Adopt Ad verce Report of Judiciary Committee The direct nominations bill as rtc ommended by Governor Hughes le celved its death blow In the assembly at Albany, at least so far as the present, session of the legislature Is concerned. By a vote of 112 to 23 the assembly decided to sustain the adverse report of the Judiciary com mittee, which, with two dissenting votes out of twelve, had registered its disapproval of the measure. Assemblyman Green, Introducer ol the bill, at the meeting of the Judi ciary committee endeavored to have a report of the bill without recom mendation, so that the vote In the assembly might be upon the bill Itself rather than upon the question of sus taining the adverse report of a com mittee. He was unsuccessful in thh, so with Assemblyman Klein of Queens he sub mitted a minority report When the committee's report was submitted .Mr Green endeavored to have Its consid eration postponed one week, but his motion, was defeated by a vote of 28 to 110, which, practically before the debute began, Indicated the strength of the opposition to the bill. Seventy-five Republicans and thirty-seven Democrats cast their votes against the bill, while 18 Republicans and 10 Democrats voted for it. Tho vote was so overwhelming that Mr. Green did not make the usual motion to reconsider. MRS. SAMPSON CHITTED Testimony of Defense Confined to Re buttal of Gun Expert. Mrs. Georgia Allyn Sampson, the young woman who had been on trial for her life at Lyons, N. Y., since a week ago Monday on the charge of having shot and kiled her husband, Harry Sampson, was acquitted shortly after 10 o'clock Friday night and was Immediately given her freedom. DlstrlT-t Attorney Gilbert In speak ing of the verdict Bald: "I am satis fied. I have done my full duty by the people and the prisoner." Mr. Gilbert, though a cousin of Mrs. Sampson by marriage, stood to his duty and prosecuted the case as vig orously as the facta would permit. The last day of the trial was spent in presenting the defense's case, and In listening to the closing addresses of the state and the defense and to the charge of Judge Rich. The brief testimony of the defense was confined chletly to abutting the testimony of Dr. Albert H. Hamilton, a gun ex pert, that the hole In Sampson's outer shirt was made by a bullet fired from a distance and that Harry Sampson could not, therefore, have committed suicide as the defense alleged. Dr. Albert F. Hall of Fulton. N. Y., was the gun expert who testified for the defense. CASTRO PROTESTS Forcibly Deported From Martinique and Shipped to France. Prior to his being taken aboard the steamer Versailles at Port de France, Martinique, for deportation to France, ex-President Castro prepared a writ ten protest against the action of the French gbvernment, which has been submitted to the authorities there. The removal of the former presi dent of Venezuela from the hotel to the steamer was not without Its piti ful aspects. Immediately on the an nouncement by the medical commis sion who had made a lengthy physical examination of Castro, that he was quite capable of making the voyage, the commissary of police with an es cort of gendarmes invaded the hotel and proceeded to his chamber. They found the ex-nresident lying In bed. and although he still protested that he could not move they carried him down stairs, the patient all the while moaning dismally, on a mattress, and placed him in a stretcher. Officers from the United States cruiser North Carolina, In civilian dress, helped to make him ns comfort able as possible, and then the stretch er was picked up by four negroes and taken to the dock. Gendarmes guarded it and a crowd numbering fully 2,000 followed the procession. SAVED BY D0GS BARKING Three Little Girlc Accidentally Lock ed In Closet In Vacant House.

Two women passing heard the dog barking and. entering the house to re lease the animal, were startled by a faint cry for help from the closet. The children were Immediately re leased and, nlthough cold, hungry and frightened, were found to be none the worse physically for the twenty hours' Imprisonment. Army Is Up to Full Strength.

Utica Chamber of Commerce. Speaker Said the Nation Should Have Confidence In Itself as the World Has Confidence In It Has Twice as Much Life Insurance as the Rest of the World and Half as Much Money In Savings Banks Expends For Ed ucation Two-Thirds as Much. Utlca, April 13. "Our Country" as the subject of a stirring patriotic address by Vice President .lames S. fherman at the annual banquet cf Iho chamber of commerce In ih's city li'. night.

Cushman of Washington also delivered an appro priate address. In responding to the toast "Our Country" Mr. Sherman recounted the elements of Btrenglh possessed by the United States both In Its actual ma terial development, Its possibilities for greater development and the moral force It Is enabled to exert over the destinies of the world. Recounting the wars in which the country had been Involved, everyone of which he declared had behind It some exalted moral purpose, he said the nation had been devoting itself pretty assiduous ly to Its commercial advancement. Quoting some of the leading statis tics showing the material growth of the country, ho said the natloi should have confidence In Itself as the world has confidence in It. The growth of the United States had been so enor mous that It could no longer he dem onstrated by comparing Its Industries, wealth and national strength with any other leading country In the world, nor even with a group of other countries. It was necessary to com pare It with the remainder of the world. "We have but 5 per cent of the pop ulation of the earth," said Mr. Sher man. "Our nation possesses but 7 per cent of the. area of the earth, and yet Industrially we about equal one half of the balance of mankind." Mr. Sherman recounted the propor tion of the great staples that are raised In the United States In comparison with all other portions of the world. "We have," he said, "twice as much life Insurance as the rest of the world and one-half as much money on depos it In our savings banks as all the rest of the world. Our expenditure for education 13 two-thirds as much as Is spent by all the rest of the world. One-third of all the revenue collected by the government Is ours, while our debt Is about one-thirtieth of the debt of the world. "We have enrolled In our schools twenty million students, seventeen million being !n our public schools alone, for which we pay annually $200, 000.000, which is more than spent for educational purposes by the five greatest countries of Europe, Includ ing Great Britain." The country, he de clared Is not retrograding. Ambition as well as patriotism Is indigenous to our boII. "Ambition," he added, "Is Inspired by opportunity. Ambition and oppor tunity have Inspired and developed genius. Genius has produced Invention. Invention has enlarged opportunity and Increased by bounds American production, American wealth and American power.

In the opinion of conser vative traction men who have seen It In operation, will save motormen and conductors much trouble.
