SITUATION MORE GRAVE THAN
At ANY TIME DURING THE

Memphis, Tenn, March 81. - The
feeling of hope that was produced
Thursday by the Mississippi river
coming to stand at this point, with
4O.1 feet on the gauge, was dispelled
yesterday by the occurrence of two ad-
ditional breaks in the st. Francis
levees north of the first crevasse at
Trise's Landing, Ark, and the grave

nee village, Ark, the first about forty
five miles from Memphis and the Sec
ond about thirty-fve. Both crevasses
are reported to be serious, the one at
Shawnee being the
Worst Of the Three.
The two breaks yesterday will prob
ably increase slightly the water in the
territory of Arkansas which is flooded
by the break at Trice's, and in addition
they are flooding vast scope of coun-
try which has thus far been free from
any considerable amount of water.
The situation, therefore, in Arkansas
is more grave than at any time during
the flood. Relief measures have been

pletely inadequate.
The long line of levees that guard
the river front of Mississippi and pros
tect the vast and fertile delta region
of that state, and which have thus far
stood firm against the great flood, are
reported to be in a critical condition
at many points. At places the

the embankment is overtopped by the
flood and enormous quantities of

The most encouraging feature is

stationary all day and that falling
stage is reported from St. Louis, Cairo

GUILTY q OF MAINTAINING UNLAw-s
FUL CONSERVATION TO CON.
TRoL PRICES.
GIVEN THIRTY DAYS TO RAY ur
u THEYFAIL THEY WILL NOT BE
PERMITTED TO DO BUSINESS
IN STATE.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 21.-The
Missouri supreme court yesterday
found five large beef packing compa-
MES guilty of maintaining an unlawful
combination to control prices of meat
In the State of Missouri and issued an
order of custer prohibiting them from
doing business in this state and to
pay fine of $4,000 each and bear the
costs OF the proceedings. The compa-
MES are given thirty days in which to
pay the fine imposed, and if, during
that time they accept the Judgment
and pay the fine the custer will be
held in allegiance and the companies
permitted to continue doing business
in Missouri.
The opinion in the so-called beef
trust cases was written by Judge w.
G. Marshall and concurred in by each
of the six other judges of the court en-
banc. The companies affected by the
decision are the Armour Packing COM
pany, Cudahy Packing company, Ham
mond Packing company and Swift &
Co. of Chicago, and Schwarzchild &
Sulzberger company of New York. All
of the above named companies main
tain branch offices in different cities of
the United States and in Missouri at
st. Louis, Kansas City and ST. Joseph.
The evidence adduced which incrim-
mated the packers was obtained in
these cities.
The decision in the supreme court
against the packers is the ending of a
proceeding which was instituted last
May. The opinion holds that the evil
dence shows conclusively that there
was a combination of the packers to
maintain trust prices on beef in Mis-
souri,; that the representatives of the
packers met on certain days to fix
the prices for the week; that rebating
was done; that the same prices pre-
vailed at all of the coolers at the same
time; that no competitor could enter
the field against the packers because
the combine would underseN the new
conner out of business. The opinion
does not take up the charge made in
the proceedings by the attorney gen.
eral that the companies were also
guilty of selling diseased meat.
