FLOOD SUFFERERS

Better Conditions Exist In
Ohio Valley.
EFFORTS TO PROTECT LEvEEs

leys Now Scene of Greatest Danger.
River Reported Rising Below Cairo.
No Further Breaks In Levees.
Memphis, Tenn, March 12.-The
river is steadily rising at Memphis, the
gauge today marking 35.6 feet. The
local weather bureau officials have is.
sued a warning bulletin in which they
say that the water will reach 38 feet
and advising that SO feet is probable.
Reports from Charlottesville, where
the levee is reported to be washing
away, state that the banks have caved
badly in front of the junction of loops
necessitatfng the abandonment of the
old levee. Engineer Fitzpatrick tele-
graphs that the new levee can hold 5
additional feet of water and that the
situation is well in hand
The levee miles south of Caruthers-
vile, is caving badly, and the great
est danger is looked for at that point
The country for so miles around Ca
Futhersville is flooded and railway
traffic has been suspended.
Landing places along the river are
submerged, many towns are entirely
surrounded, and the river has backed
up for miles. Another weak point
in the levee system apparent now is
at VancIuse, Ark A sand boiI' ap.
-peared there just back of the levee
Tuesday between the horns of a bend
in the river west of Lake Chicot. The
"boil' was promptly suppressed, but
its appearance indicated an under
ground fissure that may prove danger.
Gus. Vancluse Is in the United States
district under the supervision of Cap.
tain Charles L. Potter.
The work of distributing supplies
and establishing substations along the
levee system will continue until all
danger is past. The st. Francis Ievea
board and Captain Lucas are contin-
uing their work of supervision of the
levees from New Madrid, Mo-, to the
beginning of the third division near
the mouth of the White river.
Many refugees from the lowlands
are arriving in Memphis.

FREEDOM
PROMISED RUSSIANS
Partial Self Government Also
Granted By Gar.
PUBLIC GREATLY ENCOURAGED
Most Significant Act of State Since
Emancipation of Serfs-Great I'm
proVement of Russian Internal Ad
ninistraton Expected.

st. Petersburg, March 12.-The czal
has issued a decree providing for free
dom of religion throughout his domin.
ions, establishing to some degree To-
cal self-government, and making other
concessions to the village committees.
After referring to the efforts of his
predecessors, particularly his father,
to add to the welfare of the Russian
people, the czar announces his de
ctsfon to grant freedom of religion
to all his subjects who profess non-or
thodox creeds and to improve the con
ditions Of village life and those of the
local nobility and peasantry.
Among the measures outlined by the
czar for the attainment of these re
forms is reform Of rural laws, which
is to be effected with the advice OF
persons who possess the confidence OF
the people. The system of admins
tratiOn in the various governments
and districts is to be examined by rep.
resentatives Of the different localities
concerned with the view of effecting
the necessary amendments.
Measures are also to be taken to
relieve the peasantry of the burdens
of forced labor
The decree, which was issued In
commemOration of the anniversary OF
the birthday of Alexander III, is con.
sidered to be the most significant act
of state since the emancipation of the
serfs. The public halls it as the pro.
clamation Of a new era, opening up
bright prospects of the early improve.
ment of Russian internal administra.
tion.
Although the Jewish faith is not
specifically mentioned in the czar's
decree, it is believed that the liberty
granted to all creeds" is intended to
include the Jews.
