Memphis, Tenn, March 13,-The Mis-
sissippi river registers 34.2 feet and the

river to thirty-six and half feet, which

forty miles from Memphis.
The most serious feature OF the pres

of ii cutting a new channel for itself
through Crittenden county, Ark, and
leaving Memphis high and dry, or at
least leaving her on shallow lake.

INDIANA CONVICT LABOR STOPPED.
BILL Abolishing It Becomes a Law and 800
Men Are Now Idle,

Men Are NOW luies
Michigan City Ind, March 13-Ward-
en- Harley of the Indiana state prison
Thursday morning ordered the instant
suspension Of all work by every convict
not hired by d binding contract. The
order was unexpected by the contract
ors, and is felt most heavily by Ford,
Johnson & Co. chair manufacturers,
and the Lakeside Knitting company,
which lose the labor of nearly 200 men.
This sudden action was due to the
discovery that an emergency clause was
attached to bill passed by the general
assembly abolishing contract labor and
the bill thus became a law as soon as
the governor signed 1t. The result Is
that 200 men are locked in their cells
with no means of employment The new
law provides that contract work shall
be abolished as fast as existing contracts
expire, and by the end of the year more
than 800 men will be idle. 1t was In
tended that convicts should be employed
in making goods for other state institu-
tions, but no appropriation was made
for buying material to put the plan into
operation.
