WORST YE'i TO CC.ME Flood Conditions in the Wyoming Valiey Cause Alarm. Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 9. The Wyoming valley is today in the grasp of another mighty ilood and it is feared the worst is yet to come. Wilkesbarre has been completely cut off from from the rest of the Wy oming valley and for miles up and down the river the lowlands are completely covered witn water and ice. There are but few people in the homes of the flooded sections. The current is raging on all the lowlands in the southern residence section of this ctiy, many houses being completely wrecked by the huge cakes of ice jamming against them. On the west bank of the river between here and Kingston the water is now up to the first floors and many houses are surrounded with huge piles of ice. The conditions at Plymouth and other wrest side towns up and down the river resemble a great lake, the water rushing through the streets and surroundiang many houses. The Market street road between here and Kingston is under six feet of water. The gorges south of this city are holding back the great body of water which is coming down from the upper regions, and unless a break soon occurs a more critical danger point is feared. Many Driven From Home. TIarrisburg, Pa., March 9. Conditions in the flood territory today ere improved and the indications are there will be no further serious trouble.

1UU lillM The Other Apostles Shook Their Heads at Apostle Lvinaii. QTYYE Fit EE OF SPEECH Sensational Evidence Given Before Senate Committee by Coming Head ol the .Mormon Cliui-ch. Ingenuous Explanat ion oT How Par "lieveiat ion" Controls Iatter Day Saints. Washington, March 9. The senate committee on privileges and elections in the investigation of the protests against Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, brought out a variety of testimony, of which the most sensational was that given by Francis M. Lyman, president of the Twelve Apostles of the Mormon church, and the man chosen to be the successor of President Smith. His admissions were similar to those previously made by Mr. Smith pertaining to the church government. He is more free of speech than the president of the church, and his testimony, though not materially differing, caused several of the apostles present to shake their heads at the, witness for the purpose of compelling more discretion in answering questions. Mr. Lyman is an an ilariy built man, hit face is covered with a growth of bushy red whiskers and his speech is blunt. Referring to the evidence adduced the day before that Senator Smoot had to gain the consent of tue apostles before running for his high office. Mr. Lyman said the principle of getting consent was that a shepherd could not leave his flock of sheep until his successor came to take charge and therefore it was required that officials must get authority before leaving tiieir ollicial duties in the church. "Apostles Grant and Teasdale were chosen by 'revelation' to President Snow," said Mr. Lyman, "and a 'revelation' also was given me in relation to these men." He explained that the latter "revelation" came after President Snow had told him the names of the men he wanted chosen to the vacancies. Mr. Lyman was asked what distinction he made between the "revelations ' he obeyed and those he did not obey. "I suppose you mean the laws I have confessed that I have violated in eohabitating with plural wives?" he asked. When told that was what was meant he said: "I trust myself to the mercy of the Lord." "Have yon ever repented to that disobedience," asked Mr. Hoar. "Not yet." "Did Senator Smoot know you were living with plural wives?" was asked. Mr. Lyman answered that Senator Smoot did not know, as he had never met any one of his wives. He taid that the people in general in Utah knew, but t. at he did not think Mr Smoot had any knowledge of the fact. He sad he was so generally known and his reputation was so wide that what was admitted as a fact in relation to him would be accepted by the people as true. Chairman Burrows insisted on knowing if the people of Utah knew in relation to his life, why Senator Smoot could not know just as well. The witness responded several times that the people must have known but that Senator Smoot did not, whereupon Senator Hoar demanded to know what the witness meant by such answers. The witness then said that Senator Smoot probably knew just as much about the question as the people in general. "Do yon take back what you said then that the people knew and Senator Smoot did not know?" asked Senator Hoar. "I take that back." "Don't you thinK Mr. Apostle that it behooves you to be a little careful about what you say, so that you will not have anything to take back?" asked the Senator severely. Senator Hoar followed this" question by asking the witness if he had received a "revelation" concerning what he was to testify to on the stand and whether such a "revelation" could be responsible for his change of mind in relation to the question asked. "Are your answers here by order of the Lord? Are they given in your human or inspired capacity?" the senator asked. "I answer as the spirit of the Lord directs." "Then it was the spirit of the Lord which directed you to make the answer you just took back and which you said was a mistake?" The witness hesitated and Senator Hoar remarked: "Well, if you can't answer that, I don't blame you." Chairman Burrows: "After all of this testimony which Senator Smoot has heard do you think he now knows whether you are practicing polyga- i my?" j "I don't think he knows." '"You think he believes you you tell him do you iiol?'' "I believe he believer ii ar lleve rue." wben heAfter mnch ennrf a sa e rr.ent was obtained thought ; from tie1 v.-it ;k si that he "enator jmoot was acouaited with the general repurarion and accepted report that Mr. Lyman was living in polygamous cohabitation with his plural wives.

OPPOSITION PROMISED

Congressman Overstreet .May Not Have a Walk-away. Indianapolis. March 9. There were rumors Iter' todiy that Congressman Jesse Overstreet may have opposition for reneraina.tzon. Be has a loyal following here, but there is some ground for the line of talk that is being made against him. Overstreet was nominated and elected first in the old Fifth district. His home was in Johnson county. Whoa Johnson was made a part of the district with Marion county Overstreet was lucky enough to bo nominated over a strong Indianapolis man. lie was renominated from the district of Jonnson and Marion as a Johnson county man, and then Marion was made a separate district. Johnson was placed in the Fourth, a strong Democratic district. Overstreet, however, claimed Indianapolis as his heme, although he had never lived here and was nominated two years ago as this district's representative. He now wants another nomination, and while there is no doubt but that Republicans are impressed with the statements that he is not a representative or this county, yet he is going to be nominated. There was a considerable gathering of prominent Democrats at the Grand hotel today so considerable, in fact, as to suggest that there was a prearranged conference, but this was denied. Among these who were in the lobby were T. Taggart and his sidepartner, Joe Fanning. Seventh district chairman; S. M. Ralston of Lebanon, Alonzo Greene Smith of Indianapolis. Chairman O'Brien and Secretary Reiiey of the state committee, and B. F. Shively of South Rend. i These men did have a conference, but it was said that none of them came here for that purpose. The situation in the state was gone over pretty thoroughly, and it may bo stated thai the Democratic leaders are prof, y j Well satisfied. However, it may alv. be stated that, they acted as if they intend to feel their way very carefully in the coming campaign. Chairman O'Brien declared today that the Democratic stale convention will probably be held about the first of June. It is necessary that the del egates to the national convention be named at least thirty days in advance and the Democrats of Indiana always name their delegates when they nom inate the state ticket. Chairman O'Brien met John G. McNutt of Terra Haute and other Democratic leaders here and discussed the legislative re apportionment suits. The transcripts of the Dearborn and Boone county suits were filed some time ago with the supreme court and that of the Ripley county case reached the su preme court today. The Democrats as well as the Republicans are "very anxious that the constitutionality of the law shall be determined as quick ly as possible so that nominations may be made. The opponents of J. Frank Hanly for the Republican nomination for governor are still inclined to make a great to do over the convention at Lafayette last Saturday in which tho so-called Hanly faction was beaten by the anti-Hanly men in making the nominations for the county ticket. It is being pointed to as an evidence that his own people are not united for him but a prominent Lafayette Republican who was here today explained that while it was true that the Hanly crowd was beaten at the convention Hanly took no part whatever in making the nominations and the question of his candidacy was not at Issue at any time. Hanly was enthusiastically indorsed and it is said that he will have a strong home delegation to wroik for him. Gillespie Case Goes Over. Rising Sun, Ind., March 9. Judge Downey has sustained the demurrer by the state to the plea in abatement filed by the defense in the Gillespie murder case, throwing the plea out of court. This gives the state the first victory. The motion by the defense to quash the indictment was also overruled. Congressman Griffith then filed a motion for a continuance until the next term of court, on account of the serious illness of Capt. J. B. Coles, chief counsel for the defense. This motion was sustained by the court. The state offered no objection and the trial was continued until May. 2. Crew Overlooked Orders. Birmingham, Ala.. March 9. Six trainmen we:-j killed, three fatally hurt, two injured and a limited express train and a freight partially destroyed by fire comprise the results of a head-on collision on the Alabama Great Southern railway, near Kewanee, seventeen miles north of Meridian. Miss. It is understood tha wreck was caused by the freight train overlooking orders to meet the express. Going After Paper Trust. Washington, March 9. Representative Lilley, of Connecticut, ha3 introduced a resolution directing the secretary of commerce and labor to Investigate the cause of the r-."sent high price of white paper used for the printing of newspapers and whether it is caused by a trust or combination.
