FLOOD WATERS STILL RISING t Another Day for o o [ P a CINCINNATI, April 26.—The top of ‘he flood in the Ohio at this place has not yot been reached. While there was a rise of only two-tenths of a foot between b o'clock yesterday cvening and 2 a. m. today, the rise between 2 a. m. and 9 a. m. today was 3%. The decline, when it begins, will be slow, as Huntington, W. Va., this morniug reported a fall of only half an inch in twenty-four hours. All of the manufacturers and merchants in the bottoms will be in their normal condition before Monday. Many of the residences in the flooded dls- trict, especially tenement houses along the river front, will not be fit for habitation for elmost a week. In this respect New- port and Dayton, Ky. and other towns across the river have also suffered very much. At Ripley, Higginsport, Manchester and other small points on this side of the river, the condition after the flood is very serious, as they have been practically under water for some days. OWing to the short duration of the flood well as the fact | that it is below the record of seven other Ohlo river floods, the damage along the valley is comparatively small. The great- | sufferers are those who bave been | thrown out of work or driven from their homes. No lives have been lost except by | accidents, There is no indication of & fur- ther rise and less apprehension is felt over the results of the high water in the lower | Ohio valley s 8 hi a LUOLOW IS SERIOUSLY ILL| \'I eral Retur y the ransport, April 25.-Owing to his iliness nt of Brigadier General Wil- » be military governor of the of the Visayus has been A board of surgeons has made wn | orts that General Lud- an attack of grip and which has developed into a dungerous case of tuberculosls, Gen eral Ludlow will return to the United States by the Arst transport « win States o the Pirst | 8 1 ANILA, appointm Ham Ludlow Aepartment revoked. low suffered frowm localized congestio : nEo Miniaters Resign April 2 (via Ha minister of the interlor N g SAN na DOMI The NG and the have | el Joubett, | Quiek minister resigned, of posts, Benor The countiy s for Northern court, tonight. morning, El ordered to Omaha for re Continental First National of Essex, tional bank of D tlonal bank of Pella, eu sion of the visit of the wit ed rather cxhaustively an account of the the raised to the Platt amendment and of some of the misunderstandings regarding it. expressed their departure them tarewell sult but be beneficial in relieving erroncous im say that port of the commission Pretoria. morrow. lected. | thes this amount be made available Sailed Bismarck pania night Benor | g0 erpool from b ine and ship via eans and Galves rol even the dom No one here ever doubted that th Ml company woul, f this oil field, bu een the purcha ompany Ington tor and ASHIN ram.)-—W.

COLUMBUS, 0., April 26.—Prof. G. Fred- erick Wright of Oberiin delivered an address here tonight before the Ohio His- torical society, in which he described for the first time in public his recent geoivp- ical explorations in A Prof. traveled through Japan, northeastern Chiua, Manchuria, central and southern Siberia, Turkestan and the Caucasias, but found no cvidence of glacial phenomena for which he was searching. On the contrary, he found tha the country ou the Mongolian troutier in the latitutde of New York City and at an elevation of 5,000 feet above the sen was largely covered with the fine loam called “loess,” such as is found the Missouri valley. It is a question much in dispute whether this is a wind deposit or {a water deposit. Prof. Wright professes {o defer his opin- ion until he has had further time to work over his notes and study his photographs, which are not yet all developed. But upon the border of Mongolia numerous pre- historic mounds were observed outside of the great Chinese wall, thus suggestiing, with further observations of a similar sort in Turke n, a close the rly history of Asia and of America Along the route from Zmipalatinsk (o ashkend also prehistoric mounds, similar to many in Ohio, were encountered, ani there were many other indications of <h: occupation of the country by a numerous people, more civilized than the present oc- | cupants, but so than those of Lne period of Tamerlane, Prof. Wright thinks he has found in- Aubitable evidence that the central portion of Asia has been depressed 2,000 or 3,000 feet below the level of the ocean at a com- paratively recent time, indeed, since man came into existence. Bvidence of the con- nection of man with this submergence is found In southern Russia, where palaco lithic implements, similar to those found in glacial deposits of Amerlea and Europe, have been found at a great depth in the undisturbed deposits of thie period of sub- mergen of that less STRIKE AT THE SMELTER| 0 Not Re ty Per Cent in Wages In ished by Blast Fure nace Men, PAUL, April A Helena (Mont.) special says that the men employed at blast furnace of the American Smelting Refining company at ast Helena struck ‘nul.q\' The management announce cut | of 20 per cent in wages, in consequence of the eight-hour day being put into effect ST. ] and the men walked out.

The lawyers for Cale laban had awaited this stage of the trial anxiously, for they have always been cons fident that a case of robbery, within th sense of the statutes, could not be made out agalnst thelr client. Luwyer Haw u Guess Coming. “Supposing Callahan is the man that cap- tured and held Eddie Cudahy,” Lawyer Macfarland had said, “how could he be beld for robbery? They might make out a case of false imprisonment, but as to rubbe ~never. S0 it was with considerable confidence that Mr. Macfarland’s colleague undertook to argue his motlon of yesterday afternoon, After the jury had been taken from the room Mr. Haller said Muy it please the court, I contend that the evidence adduced by the state has not proved the charge of robbery set up in the complaint, and I believe the jury ought to be instructed to return a verdict of 1ot guilty. The complaint charges that on the 19th of December, 1500, one James C: han, then and there being, did unlawfully and feloniously take from the person of ons Edward A. Cudahy, then and there being, the sum of $25,000. Now, your honor, I will call your attention to the words, ‘from the person of Edward A. Cudahy,’ and I will defy the state to point to an lota of evi- dence to show that this defendant took and carried away any property from (he person of Edward A. Cudahy. 1 know that | taking from the person has been held oy | the courts to mean taking from the personit protection or the personal presence, but even that construction of the law does not cover this case. « its case agalnst motion by the d.- “1t there was any evidence to show that this money had heen taken from the per- sonul protection or presence of Mr. Cudaby by force and by putting him in fear a charge of robbery might stand, but such is not the fact as shown by the evidence. I contend that no robbery was committed, for the reason that Mr. Cudahy deliberately and intentionally deposited this §25,000 by a lonely roudside without having any force or violence exercised over him. The money was delivered by him voluntarily and will- ingly and it was not taken from his person or from nis personal protection or presence by force and violence, or by putting him in fear, as is required by the law to cousti- tute the crime of robbery.” rul Cowin's Argument, General Cowin took up the argument against the motion in bebalf of the prose- cution, He sald Mr. Cudahy bad a right to believe that the men who were cold-blooded enough (o carry away his only son and then write to him that they would burn out the boy's eyes unless he delivered up to them the sum of $25,000 would carry out their threat. It was the fear that his boy would be blinded that prompted him to give up the money to these men-—te earry it to the place designated by them. It is true that Mr. Cudahy not put in fear for the safely of his own body at the time he gave up the money, but the fear for the safety of his son was in his heart, and it was this fear that constituted the force and violence that were exercised over him. There cun be no question that the money was takew from him by force and violence and it was taken from his person when he delivered it at the spot designated by the men who had exercised the fear and force and vie lence.” Conrt Takes Short Cut, General Cowin was about to read some authorities in support of his argument, when Judge Baker told him it would be un- necessary. “When the docket for was divided I knew this case would come on for trial before me,” sald the judge, and, as [ try to do in all cases that come before me, 1 looked up (he law on poluts that would be likely to be involved in it I am satisfied that in law the crime that bus been committed here is robbery. Tak- ing property from the personal protection or personal presence is the same as taking it from the body, according to the law It is not neceesary iu order to complet the crime of robbery, that the robber must be in the immediate presence of his victim, If the robber exercises the fear and force necessary to make his vietim deliver from a distance, it s just the e as he met him on the highway and took the money by force of superioy strength, 1 believe that the evidence in th shows il & robbery bas Lecn commitied, wud wit this term of court o up i
