Locust St. High Water Mark
Breaks All Previous Records
The high water mark was reached
In Locust street to-day.
All night, long, and during the fore
noon, a flood of good vaudeville acta
drifted Into town, swished and swirled
with the tide of humanity until they
finally caught up in the eddy that
makes the Orpheum in Locust street
its center, and there they are.
Bach hour during the morning the
flood grew greater. The high water
mark was reached at noon when the
last of the seven excellent acts came
in on a wave of enthusiasm.
This bulletin was placed In front of
the Orpheum at 1.30.
FLOOD DANGER OVER,
WATER IS FALLING
[Continued from First Page.]
o'clock last night, when it registered
18.46 feet. It stayed at that point un
til 4 a. m. t when It dropped a twen
tieth of a foot. At 6 this morning It
went to 18.3.
Throughout its length the fall Is
noted, the greatest being at Williams
port, where the stream dropped four
feet overnight. But on the North
Branch conditions are different, for
the water there has been yielding
stubbornly, and at Wilkes-Barre the
Btream had fallen only slightly up to
this morning.
Water In Subway
Eight inches of water In the sub
way made it necessary to-day to run
Reservoir, Oberlin and Hill cars by
way of State street, as follows: Out
Thirteenth to State, then to the
Square, then to State and Cameron,
then down Cameron to Market, and
so on with the usual route. Steelton
cars are being run to the east end
of the subway.
The Harrisburg Gas Company took
about half a hundred gas meters out
of houses in low spots, less from fear
that the water would injure the
mechanism of the machines than that
they might be wrested loose from their
connections and so cause a leak in the
pipes.

The river reached its flood-crest
here, and little damage Is reported
from upstream. The Harrisburg bun-
INDIGESTION, GAS OR
SICK, SOUR SIOIUGH
Time "Pape's Diapepsin!" In
five minutes all stomach
misery is gone.
"Really does" put bad stomachs in
order—"really does" overcome Indi
gestion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
sourness in five minutes—that—just
that—makes Papes' Diapepsin the lar
gest selling stomach regulator in the
world. If what you eat ferments into
stubborn lumps, you belch gas and
eructate sour, undigested food and
acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath
foul; tongue coated; your insides filled
with bile and indigestible waste, re
member the moment "Pape's Dia'pep
ein" comes in contact with the stomach
all such distress vanishes. It's truly
astonishing—almost marvelous, and
the joy is its harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin will give you a hundred dol
lars' worth of satisfaction or your
druggist hands you your money back.
It's worth its weight in gold to men
and women who can't get their stom
achs regu-nted. It belongs in your
home —should always be kept handy
In case of a sick, sour, upset stomach
during the day or at night. It's the
quickest, surest and most harmless
stomach doctor in the world.

MONDAY EVENING,
"High water mark will be unchang

There Is said to be no danger, ex
cept the danger of not getting seats
unless you go for them early. Both
phones are working and if you are
afraid of getting your feet wet, call
65, and ask them to lay seats aside.
This week's flood at the Orpheum
exceeds anything in history. It breaks
the high water mark of last week by
10 per cent, at least, and last year's
record also goes to defeat.
The public is much concerned over
this vaudeville flood.—Advertisement.
galow colony at Speeceville was Iso
lated by back water from the river,
and the river very nearly penetrated
some of the buildings. Persons tak
ii.g the train had to wade through a
foot of water.
Western Express, train No. 9, leav
ing Harrisburg last night at 11.55,
had a narrow escape from getting in
to a serious landslide at the west end
of the Rockville bridge, near Marys
ville.
As the last car of the train passed
the foot of the big mountain, fifty tons
of rock and dirt fell, covering the
westbound track and two freight
tracks to a depth of thirty-five feet.
A portion of the dirt and rocks hit
the rear platform covering it with
mud.
Trackmen on duty gave notice to
the men in the tower nearby and all
trains were sent around the slide via
of the west bound freight tracks.
Three construction trains were order
ed out and had the dirt cleared away
by 8 o'clock this morning.
At Marysville the flood washed out
the tracks of the Valley Railways
Company at a point near the Rock
ville bridge. Cars were run only as
far as the lower side of the bridge
where the passengers were forced to
get out, walk up along the railroad
for several hundred feet and take an
other car to their destination.
Little Damage to Wall
Little or no material damage will
be done to the river wall or the "flll"
that has already been packed in be
tween the "stringers" according to
engineers of the Board of Public
Works to-day.
Here and there pockets may be
gouged out where eddies occur, but
the fact that the cinder and other
material is packed and presents a. flat
surface, will prevent any appreciable
"wash-outs." At any rate the city
will not suffer as a result because the
flll was put in at the contractor's risk
and such additions of new material
as may be necessary will have to be
replaced by the contractors. Until
the water recedes no Idea of the trou
ble can be obtained, however.
Work on the other city improve
ments has not been Interfered with.
On the lower section of Paxton creek
the contractor and a watchman had
a man-sized job on their hands yes
terday, hoisting some lumber and ma
chinery from the creek bed to a place
of safety. The machinery and lum
ber had been left in the creek when
work was shut down a few months
ago. When the water began to rise
yesterday the watchman wired to the
contractor and the latter came here
from Baltimore to hustle his property
out of danger.
Open Hearth Flooded
No very extensive or considerable
damage was reported yesterday. Prob
ably the most severe attack of the
flood as far as its after effects are con
cerned was at the open hearth depart
ment of the Central Iron and Steel
Company, South Harrisburg. The
plant will have to suspend for prob
ably two days. Seventy men are em
ployed here.
The waters poured into the cellars
of scores of residences and stores In
South Harrlsburg. In many cases
families removed their furniture to the
second floor, anticipating- a rise in
the waters, and hundreds passed an
anxious night. Chimneys and founda
tion walls were undermined In some
places. In the cellar of H. H. Hocker's
store, 104 Tuscorora street, the water
flooded the furnace and the chimney
was split. Vinegar barrels and barrels
of pickles were used to prop it up.
Samuel D. Ensminger used a gas en
gine to pump the water out of the
cellar of his store, COO Pace street.
Guards Stand Through Xlglit
Guards selected by lot among the
residents of Lochiel Row last night
watched so that they might issue a
warning should the waters go higher.
In one of the houses of this row Amos
Lavender was sick in bed. Fearful of
the progress of the waters, relatives
summoned a hospital ambulance, and
as It arrived and took the sick man
avyay water entered the cellar win
dows.
Ropes were thrown around a re
modeled house Just above the Rock
ville bridge to Insure greater stability.
The house Is owned by Clinton Hoov
er. Ladders and painting tackle lying
near were swept away.

Paderewski Has Power
Over His Audience
What is the secret of Paderewski's
extraordinary power over audiences?
His personality alone is extraordin
ary. Tall, thin, with strange myster
ious eyes that seem to shed no "light,
with, prominent cheek bones,- with a
marvelous nimbus of hair, with a
bearing that is feline In strength and
grace, he excites curiosity and begins
to weave his spell before he strikes a
chord.
But were there no rare and sub
stantial qualities behind this .gift the
charm might be quickly dispelled for
the musical public of this country is
not now the public which once gaped
over left-handed pianists and ne
glected Rubinstein and von Bulow.
Harold Raker of this city has been at
work on the hall for several days
putting in a large sounding board un
der the girders which support the
roof. Special cars will bring music lov
ers here from many neighboring
towns. More than 200 seats have been
sold by mail.
Paderewski eats nothing but break
fast on the cTay of a concert. After
he breakfasts he at once begins to
prepare for the concert. He has a
portable keyboard by which he ar
ranges the entire program to .his sat
isfaction in the seclusion of his room.
After the concert he eats a big din
ner. Paderewski is accompanied by
his wife, who is zealous in guarding
him from, the unwelcome attentions
of the curious. During the concert to
night the hall will be in subdued
light, the lights being turned out just
after Paderewski comes on the stage.
Coal Prices Ten
Cents Above 1913
Following the usual announcement
from the producers that a drop of 50
cents on nearly all sizes of coal will
obtain on and after April 1, coal deal
ers in the city will reduce the price
that amount.
This reduction brings the price of
coal to 10 cents more than the price
that prevailed April 1 last year, the
difference being due, according to the
producers, to the State tax of 2% per
cent, of the cost of mining each ton.
Cost of mining averages less than $2
per ton on the domestic sizes—which
are the costliest, because of breaking
and sorting—and this would amount
to 5 cents a ton. The mine agents
are assessing each ton 10 cents, bv
basing their calculations on the ter
minal tidewater cost instead of on the
cost at the mines.
The 00-cent reduction is increased
10 cents each month by the producer,
but coal dealers here withhold the
increase during May and June, making
a 30-cent advance in July. Then
again they withhold the advance In
August, and in September, by an ad
vance of 20 cents, return the price to
the level that prevailed before the
April cut.
While it is generally supposed that
the usual procedure will be carried
out this year, coal dealers here to-day
said that there is a possibility of an
increase in price if the proposed 5 per
cent, freight increase is carried into
effect.
The following schedule shows the
prevailing prices, the reduction being
given In the second column:
Broken .. $0.20 $5.70
EffS 6.45 5.95
Chestnut 6.85 6.35
Stove 6.70 6.20
There will be no change in the
price of pea coal, $5.20. A grade
known as mixed No. 2, half pea, half
chestnut, suffers a 25 per cent, reduc
tion, based on the proportion of chest
nut in Its composition.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPII
REBEL FOLLOWERS
AGAIN CONCERNED
OVER FATE OF ARMY
No Word Received From General
Villa Today to Relieve
Anxiety
By Associated Press
Chihuahua, Mexico. March 30.—For
seven days Francisco Villa, military
leader of the Constitutionalist revo
lution, has waged his battle against
Torreon. For six days the light has
been bitterest and the loss of life the
heaviest in the recent history of Mex
ico, judging from the meager press
dispatches received from the front
and the stories of slaughter told to-day
by many of the 588 wounded veterans
of Torreon who are interned in hos
pitals here.
Constitutionalist sympathizers and
rebel officers in Chihuahua again have
become anxious as to the fate of their
military leader and the remnants of
the 12,000 men who marched to Tor
reon with him to engage in the revo
lution's first decisive battle. No word
from Villa came early to-day to re
lieve the anxiety which obtained
throughout Chihuahua. Reports that
heavy reinforcements were hastening
to relieve General Refugio Velasco,
the federal commander at Torreon,
who has made such a resourceful re
sistance against the rebels, were re
ceived here with misgivings. But It Is
the fact that no news of General
Villa's progress has been bad for many
hour that is responsible for the great
set anxiety as to his fate.
Army officers here fear that Villa
and his army are In a difficult and
perhaps dangerous position. The
many days of almost constant aggres
sivo warfare at Gomez Palacio and
within the city of Torreon, it is
thought, have exhausted both men
and supplies.

[Continued from First I'age.]
made all the more certain the result
in favor of tht; administration, he
thought it a great pity that public
affairs be handled in that way. He
did not think all the opponents of the
repeal felt that way, but such color
had been interjected In the contro
versy and he did not understand the
motives for it.
The President said he had no
anxiety over any political friction in
the Democratic party over the result
and referred to the repeal contest as
not a "capital operation" but just a
"convalescence."
Mr. Wilson let it be known that he
was unqualifiedly opposed to any
compromise or amendments such us
have been proposed in the Senate. He
is for a straight repeal without equivo
cation.
Like an Old Story
The White House later authorized
quotation of what the President had
said In answer to the charge to the
effect that the President had made a
deal with Sir William Tyrrell, private
secretary to Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary. The Presi
dent had been asked if the charge
were true. The President replied:
"Of course, that answers itself. It is
just the crowning insult of a number
of insults which have been introduced
in this debate. This whole thing re
minds me of a story 1 used to be fond
of telling, of a very effective debater
—I need not say where this happened
—who sent a challenge down into a
county very hostile, to him to debate.
The people down there did not like
the job very much, but they put up
the man they liked best, and who is
generally put up on such occasions, a
great big husky fellow whom they all
called Tom. The challenger was given
the first hour of the two hours allot
ted to the debate, and he hadn't got
more than half way through his
speech when It became evident that
he was convincing the audience,
when one of Tom's partisans in the
back of the room cried out: 'Tom,
Tom, call him a liar and make It a
fight.' That is the stage this has
reached."
The President's auditors asked him
| if he was going to tight and he smll
; ingly answered that he did not need
j to.

Commission
The death of Judge Nathaniel
Ewing, first president of the Public

at Uniontown late Saturday night, was
mourned on Capitol Hill to-day. Many
expressions of sorrow were heard and
Governor Tener voiced the general
sentiment when he said: "Judge
Ewlng's death will be mourned by
his friends and associates. As a man
he endeared himself by his amiability
and loyalty and in the death of this
eminent public servant the State suf
fers a great loss. His ability, tempera
ment and experience peculiarly fitted
him for the office he tilled."
Governor Tener will be unable to
attend the funeral, but will be repre

Secretary Gaither. The honorary
pallbearers include: Ex-Governor
Edwin S. Stuart, ex-Governor Samuol

Judge Ewing was elected to the
bench of Fayette county In 1886 and
served until 1898 when he became
United States judge for Western Penn

him as the first chairman of the first
State Railroad Commission, a position
which he filled with distinction, and
on July 1 of last year he was named as
the first chairman of the new public
service commission.
Judge Ewing's last service on the
commission was late in January. While
sitting in the prolonged sessions at
tending the discussion of the pass
question It was noticed that he was
not in good health and in February
he went home from the early session
a sick man.
Many honors came to Judge Ewing.
Chosen to the bench where his father
and randfather had sat, he was one
of the leading lawyers of Western
Pennsylvania, president of the State
Bar Association and widely noted for
his work on the Federal bench. Judge
Ewing was president of the Scotch-

GETS LAMORA LAND
ID OLD FEUD ENDS
Property in Adirondacks Has Been
in Dispute For Twenty-
Two Years
By Associated Press
Malone, N. Y., March 30.—Word
has been received here that the cele
brated Rockefeller-Lamora feud has
been ended by the action of William
Lamora in selling: the cabin and
grounds left him by his father, a
hunter and trapper, who refused to
sell his property to make up a portion
of William Rockefeller's vast Adiron
dack's game preserve.
It was In 1«92 that William Rocke
feller set out to acquire the game pre
serve. He bought 59,000 acres around
the town of Brandon, but could not
secure Lamora's cabin and clearing
which stood in the way. Out of this
arose a legal battle between the oil
magnate's agents and the old trapper.
It was expensive work for Lamora,
but the old trapper's friends and
neighbors sympathized with him and
came to his aid financially.
Lamora was arrested for trespass
ing, having ignored the 3,000 signs
forbidding this, posted on the pre
serve. Hut twice he defeated the
Rockefeller agents in the courts by
showing that the flsh in the Rocke
feller streams were supplied by the
State hatchery and that the State law
forbids the setting aside of such wa
ters as part of any private estate.
On the third occasion when the
agents got Lamora into court it was a
civil suit for damages. It went through
several courts, finally reaching the
Court of Appeals which favored
Rockefeller. The damages awarded
were only 18 cents, but SBOO In costs
was assessed against the old trapper.
This was a staggering blow and the
loss of the cabin was threatened for
a time. Lamora's friends, however,
proved loyal and clubbed together
successfully to raise the sum.
For the remainder of the old man's
life time the Rockefeller agents rec
ognized as useless any attempt to get
him to sell. After he died his son, to
whom the property fell, assumed the
same attitude as his father for a time,
but he Anally has been induced to
sell.
