LOFIS, Mo., Fei. 1... Charges and counter-charges- of pro-Germanism were thick at the republican national committee meetinc. Pro-German charges were fired into the camp of Will If.

Ice Jam Threatens L. E. & VV. Span Over St. Joseph River. High Water Hampers Central Pumping Plant. IHLIJOTIX. Dvnaniite was ivortI to thU afternoon to relieve the ice jam which had formed about (he I-ike I'rie and Western railroad Innige at the foot of Ilaee st. in Mihawaka. The pile of ice threatened to l:reak lovvn the hiidge. After rising steadily throughout the night and morning, water in the t. Joseph river reached a height of 2ä. feet it noon Wednesday, according to the readings by W. H. Carter, who has charge of the records. This is a height more than four feet shove the average February showing, as given on the city records. Ice in lr.rge quantities is floating down the river, but so far has caused no tro able in wheels and turbines, since all of it went over the dam. Re low the dam. near Leeper park, the ice follows the channel In an almost solid stream. Island Cnder Water. The island at jh.ee per park is completely under water. the ice blocks floating among the trees ant benches. The bridge from the west bank to tho island is still above water, but only a few inches raise will put the floor of the bridge awash. Rut one pump is in operation at the Central pumping station, because the high water has lowered the pressure on the wheels there, and there is tot enough power. At the North station both pumps are in operation, and the old pumps, which are situated at a level of about 'JO feet higher than the new pumps, are being overhauled to be ready for instant service should the water ris to a height which would put the larger ones out of commission. North Station Safe. "I don't think the flood will stop us from operating here, though." declared the engineer at the north station Wednesday morning. It will have to go up about seven feet yet before it reaches the doors, and we can put sand hags around them. The walks are tight, they'll hold the water out." It is estimated that a rise of less than two and one-half feet will b sufficient to put rn't of the wet portion of Leeper park under water. It-t Mood in 10S. Memories of the Hood in the spring of 190S ar ? Lrought up hv the present high water. At that time the water was high enough to throwboth pumping stations out of use. and the (ity pressure was maintained by the private pumps of the Studehake and Oliver factories. The HooJ in 190s began on March 7, Saturday, about four weeks after a blizzard and heavy snow fall had swept nor hern Indiana ami southern Michigan. The water rose so that it stcod 11 inches deep across Michigan St., near the hridge. unci was Ü1 inches dep on W. Foote st.
