GAS SUPPLY Man/ Valley Cities Are iaDarkness , ^Traction Lines Crippied*-< ' Shawneetown Isn't Much ^ , -- Alarmed Cincinnati. -- At eight o'cldck Friday night" the Ohio river reg­ istered 61 feet and was rising at the rate of one-tenth .per houc. With a second rise reported at the head waters of the Ohio, whilfe the whole valley was still in the grip of the greatest flood it has known for more than 20 years ,the outlook Fri­ day night was indeed gloomy. The damage likely to follow the necessary opening of the flood gates at Portsmouth, O., caused almost a panic there, adding to the suffering resulting from the cutting off of the natural gas supply. A number of cities were in darkness Friday night because of broken gas mains or flood­ ed light plants. Traction Lines Quit. Service on railroads, traction and eity electric lines was generally crip­ pled along the full length of the river, In this city and suburbs several car lines were put entirely out of busi­ ness.

P Thousands of Refugee^ At Iron ton more than 100 families were driven from, theiir homes; at Portsmouth 1,000 refugees are in the schools and other vacant buildings; at Newport Ky., 300 families have had to be cared for. In. this city the number has gone above 1,000 fam­ ilies, and more are being driven from their homes hourly, while similar re­ ports come in from -nearly all towns along the river. ' In response to a request from the mayor of Manchester, O., Gov.

The com­ mission already has submitted to the president a preliminary report of the investigations made by some of its members in the .northwest into this matter, and It will submit recommen­ dations very soon. When these are ready the presi­ dent will prepare a special message to be sent to congress urging neoes- sary legislation.' The president made this announcement Thursday at a con­ ference at the White House with Messrs. Knapp, Clements, Harlan and Clarke of the commission and four members of the executive committee of the National Reciprocal Demurrage convention recently held at ChlcagQ, who had come to Washington to take up the matter with Mr. Rooseveltand the commerce commission. Chairman Knapp, of the interstate commerce commission, indicated gen­ erally the viewsNof the commission as to what might be advisable in the way of remedial legislation, and this met the hearty approval of th« demurrage representatives. None of the interstate commerce commissioners was willing Thursday night' to betjuoted, but unofficially they say the recommendations of the president will include some form of reciprocal demurrage so that the car­ rier may be penalized for delay in moving as well as the consignee for delay in unloading cars and probably some suggestions for the interchange of cars by railroads to meet extraor­ dinary demands ih one section not ex­ isting in another. During their call at the White House one of the demurrage representatives made the statement that because of a dispute between the railroad com­ panies and the consignees, 1,500 car­ loads of coal were held at Minneapolis and several hundred were held at Chi­ cago. The president directed the in­ terstate commerce commissioners to investigate that matter. By a rising vote of 133 to 9fr the. house adapted an amendment to the legislative, executive and judicial a§? propriation bill, which was taken" from the speaker's table with s.enate amendments, increasing,the salary of the vice president, the speaker and the members of the cabinet to $12,000 per year and those of senators and representatives, delegates from terri­ tories and the resident commissioner from Porto Rico to $7,500 per year, the increases to take effect March 4, 1907. Effort was made to have a roll call, but only 34 members arose, which was not a sufficient number, so that the house was relieved of the necessity of going on record. An urgent deficiency hill was passed carrying a total of $344,650. REFORM SCHOOL ATTACKED; Charity Board- Moves to Annul Char­ ter of Peoria Institution.
