Crops Probably Ruined.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 24.-Heavy floods
which have swept the Alabama and
Tombigbee rivers out of their chan
nels, inundating the country for miles,

southwestern Alabama The water is
still rising and it is feared the worst
is yet to come. AS yet no loss of life

the two rivers their overflow meets
turning the country into an immense
lake. Owing to the warning of the
weather bureau most of the farmers

and enormous damage to property
were wrought by the hurricane which
swept the northwest portion of Eng

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-The action
of the police in preventing the meet
ing of a number of societies and or
ganizations in the foreign settlement

the foreigners. The action followed
an order by Director of Public Works
Clark in which the police were direct
ed to stop the anarchists from holding
any meetings. The order was given
in consequence of the riot that fol-
lowed the parade of unemployed for
eigners here last week.
The meeting of Jewish beneficiary
society was stopped, as was also one
that was to have been addressed by a
we'll known lawyer, who was to have
talked on "Anarchism." Despite the
police vigilance the professed anar.
chists did hold a meeting in a hall
at which time they decided to retain
lawyer and prepare to advertise and
hold a big meeting so that they car
test the law and see whether they
have the right of free speech"
The Central Labor union placed it
self on record as opposed to the
parades ''of unemployed" by refusing
to attend a labor meeting in the north
ern section of the city unless given as
surances that there would be NJ
