The policy is to starve and crush the

will be dragged from its grave and

Blaine's programme. Arthur is simply
postponing his downfall; he cannot

of 1926, 900. The history of this attempt is
astonishing in the annals of crime. About
five months ago BIr. Parker received long
letter stating that eighteen years ago the
writer was employed at the Parker House
and waa convicted of an act committed there
and sentenced through Mr.. Parker's lntu-
ence to a long term in the State prls-
on from which he had just been
set free. He upbraided Mr.. Parker
for his misfortunes and demanded 5000
under peualty of burning his hotel and shoot
ing him SO as to disfgure him, for which the
writer expected to go behind CRATES again.
The blackmailer ordered the money put in
bag and delivered to a messenger whom he
would send, this messenger to leave
it in certain locality to be called for. The
matter was put in the hands of detectives
WHO have been working it ever since. Ten
or twelve days afterwards another letter SIM
liar in purport was received by Mr.. Parker.
This letter was q receipt for $25, 200 and
stated that messenger would call that
evening between the hours of and 10 o'clock.
Both letters were signed ''Scott Munroe."
The messenger promptly appeared, told his.
story and was given a bag and left
IL At the plac0 ueS1SndGeu Dut
no one came for it. few days later
another letter was received instructing Parker
how he could communicate with Scott Munro.
A month later another messenger was sent
for a bag. The method by which the bag
was to be delivered was still more compli-
Gated, two messengers being employed, and
in spite of the detectives caution the black
mailer smelt a rat and did not call for the
bag. Parker's next letter purportad to come
from the wife of Munro and begged him not
to expose himself or answer the door bell for
fear of being shot, but leave the city. After
every ruse possible to capture the black
mailer had been resorted to the efforts of the
officers were rewarded as above mentioned.
Cunningham was employed eighteen years ago
as head waiter at the Parker House, but was
discharged because relax in his duties. He
says he has since been in the hotel business
in the South and West. He protests his inno-
cence, but his handwriting corresponds with
that in the letters and the messenger boys
employed by him have identified him, He

CHICAGO, March 9.-The advices received
from the South up to II a. m. to-day report
even worse condition of affairs in the
flooded districts than at any previous time
The rain returned yesterday afternoon, and
up to o'clock this morning the fall at al
points, where measurement was taken, was
IL inches. The Tennessee, Cumberland and
other large tributaries to the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi, are rising, and the rain which fell
last night in Illinois, Iowa and other parts OF
the Northwest, will contribute to swell the
upper rivers.
Austin, Mississippi, was under water yes
terday afternoon, and reports from all points
along the Mississippi assert that the danger
to levees is more threatening than at any
previous time. Many farms and pieces Of
elevated lands in Mississippi, New Madrid
and Pernescot counties, Missouri, Desha
Arkansas, Chicot and other river counties il
Arkansas, that have heretofore escaped, are
now covered with backwater.
The condition is equally as bad IN Mlssls
sippi Many of the sufferers are paralyzed
by their misfortunes and unable to avail
themselves of the few resources at thei,
command. This is especially the case with
colored people, who constitute large per
centage of the population in the flooded parts
of Arkansas and Mississippi.
A despatch this morning says that al
hopes of the floods subsiding, in time to plant
crops in one-fourth of the flooded districts OF
Arkansas and Mississippi, are dissipated
Relief for the sufferers is going forward
from every place except Chicago, which uE
to the present has shown an Indifference tc

History of the Wholesale Female Poison
er--Her Previous Exploits.
BROOKLYN, March 9.-Dora Avery alias
Edna Day, who is charged with having poi
soned six women in Providence, r. L., by
administering arsenic in their coffee and who
was arrested under circumstances reported
yesterday, spent the night in the Washing
ton street station house. The alleged poi
soning took place on the 25th of February at
house kept by woman named Frances Fl.
Turner, at No. 2 Hicks street, Providence.
The accused was housekeeper of the estab--
lishment and had served in that capacity on
ly week or SO, when the startling occur
renee took place. In addition to Mrs. Turn
er and her housekeeper there were five other
women living there, all of whom were known
to the police as bearing questionable charac~
ters The prisoner it seems, who was of
violent disposition, had had quarrel with
Mrs. Turner, arising, as she says, from the
fact that she refused to drink wine with one
of the visitors to the house. So far as known
| revenge over this was the only motive for the
wholesale poisoning plot which Dora carried
| out. The exact steps which led to her ar
rest by Brooklyn detectives are not definitely
| known. Suffice it to say that Superintendent
| Campbell became interested in the case about
week ago and frequently communicated
with the chief of police of Providence on the
/ subject. It is believed that Superintendent
| Campbell discovered that the woman had
some connections in this city, and this re-
suit shows that he followed up whatever clue
| he received in his usual energetic manner
Detective Loring, who took the principal
| part in the search, used the imperial photo
| graph of the woman to good effect, and yes
| terday afternoon found her in fur
nished room in Christopher street, New York
| whore she had been living three DAYS. She
was brought before Justice Walsh this morn

Providence, she said she had not Justice
Walsh then formally committed her to the
custody of the detective, and she started for
Providence. She denied that she had placed
| the poison in the coffee or on the fish and
claimed that she had purchased it for the
purpose of removing corns. She put some

Terrible Destruction from the Floods.
LITTLE Rock, March "a correspondent
had an interview with Governor Churchill
this morning regarding the floods which have
devastated certain portions of the State
s"The extent of the disaster can hardly be
measured" he said, in answer to an inquiry,
''and I feel greatly depressed over the situa-
ton I received this morning number of
letters from prominent mon in the overlooked
district who draw gloomy and graphic pic
ture of the death and suffering around them.
I am also in receipt of numberless kilograms
every day appealing for aid. The situation
is simply appalling"
''Where is the greatest suffering?"
II can hardly say. Ashley county reports
one thousand people on the verge of starva-
ton. Chicot and Desha have each as many
if not more. Cross, Crittenden, Mississippi,
Lee, st. Lawrence, Monroe, and Phillips
counties have thousands of sufferers in desti-
tute circumstances. I should judge that there
are nearly if not altogether fifteen thousand
persons needing aid in the State to day.
They are tenants and farmers on small means

General D. NJ. Rae, assistant secretary of
State said that the overflow had set Arkansas
back ten years. It would be impossible he
thought to raise a crop on the. overlooked
lands this year, other than cotton and that
could not be done unless the waters subsidized
shortly and allowed the ground to dry out in

demonstrates that corn will not grow on
land Immediately succeeding an overflow
and that thousands of acres will
be rendered wholly worthless unless the water
| recedes from them and gives the planters an
opportunity to plant the land in cotton.
| General MsRae also said that the effect OF
| the overflow would be to drive hundreds
| from the State; that the colored people in
| the overlooked district were already begin,
| ming to migrate to Tennessee and Missouri in
| large numbers, and that others would follow
whenever they could get boat to take them
| away. The cities are thronged with refugees
