AtchafaIaya Levee Fight
Gets to Governor.

A Baton Rouge special to The
Times Democrat dated Jan. 18th,
says
"A delegation composed of o.
tave Levert, o. NJ. Mary, Louis
Mouche, w. Is. Chamberlin, A. W.
Norman and Gaudin Cazes of
West Baton Rouge; State Senator
Martin Glynn, John Glanton. L.

bert, Judge G. K. SchwIng, H. n.
Sherburne, Thomas Tircult, Chas.
Schwing, III. j. Levy, DR.. W. A.
Holloway and s. b. McCorkle of
Ibsrville parish. with others, call
ed upon Gov. Sanders at the exc
cutive office at the Capital and,
through their speaker, L. M.
Hewes, of Pointe Coupee, present
ell their sides of the controversy
in the matter of stopping of the
mouth of Alabama Bayou by the
Atchafalaya board.
Mr.. McCorckle also addressed
the Governor III connection with
this project on the part of the Lee
wee Board. 1t was advanced by
the delegation that the proposed
construction OF a levee on the east
side of the Atchafalaya river at
the mouth of Alabama Bayou
would reclaim some 10000 acres
of land in Choctaw swamp and
the committee desired to lay its
claim in favor of the work pro-
posed by the Atchafalaya Levee
Board before the Governor prior
to tho presentation of tho counter
reasons by the people of st. Mar
tin parish at Q meeting of the
Atchafalaya Levee Board, to be
held at st. Martlnville Oh Jan. Fl.
On that day the Atchafalaya Ls-
wee Board will hold a special meet
ing at st. Mrrtinville for the pur-
pose of hearing the contentious of
the people of st. Martin parish
and to facilitate the appearance
before the board Of those persons
interested who might be unable to
appear if the board held the meet
ing at Port Allen or Baton Rouge,
where the board holds its domicile.
Members of the delegation sta
ted that the Governor stated to
them that he had formed no OPT
Mon in the matter aud that no ac-
ton would be taken until both
sides has been heard in the con.
troversy."
The closing of Bayou Alabama
would reclaim 10000 acres of
swamp land, is their argument.
To do this the levee built has
ruined $4,000 of our best farm
lands and the closing of Alabama
Bayou would ruin from 10000 to
10000 more. Our people had to
leave their homes and more will
follow if Alabama is closed.
Compare a hun red thousands
of best farm lands sacrificed TO re-
claim $4,000 of swamp lands.

WHISTLE FOR TAG
DAY CAUSES SCARE
Many Ell Pasoans Thought
Rio Grande Had Broken
Its Banks.

As cruel as it may seem to rhe tag
lassies. the people are more interested
in the Rio Grande than they are in the
tags Tuesday morning when the IRE
whistle blew long and loud, warning
men that the hold-up girls were abroad,
many people connected the trouble sig
nal as warning that the Rio Grande
had slrSed over its banks and was
wreaking death and destruction in the
southern part OF the city.
The report gained current at the
union station. following the first blast
from the big whistle, and as the engi-
neer on the train OF the National Rail-
way Of Mexico alighted from his engine,
he was surrounded by an excited
group and piled with questions
II saw a lot of people down there"
he said, "and when 1 heard that whistle,
l put 1t down that someone had
drowned or that the river was out OF
its banks"
That was enough. The curious ques-
TONERS started posthaste for the lower
part of the city. afeot. in hacks and a
few in automobiles
The reclamation service engineers
were called on thu phone and informed
that the river was on a rampage. and
asked what was to be done In answer,
district engineer Reed continued TO die
tate letters into the ear Of his talking
Machine, for he has his finger on the
Rio Grande's pulse, sleeping and wax
ing. The Rio Grande is still silvery
and it is still on its accustomed way

CUTTING UP THE
RAILROAD MEASURE
Senate Is Going to Trim
Taft's Bill Until He Won't
RECOGNIZE It.
It..

Washinton, D. c.. May 3-Fhe Hardy
amendment to the railroad bill TO strike
out the provision permitting the inter
state commerce commission ID permit
the making of low through rates in view
of water competition was voted down in
the house today, 50 to 1872
An effort to strike out the entire sec
tion of the railroad bill relating To the
long and short haul so as TO leave the
existing law in that respect unchanged
was defeated in the house today. As to
172. The house then adopted the long
and short haul provision as reported by
the committee.
The senate today adopted the Clay
amendment to strike out section seven
of the railroad bill relating TO traffic
agreements. Previous to this Mr.. Gum
minis had withdrawn his amendment.
Mergers Not Permitted.
Senator Nelson's motion to strike ont
section II which would permit mergers
between railroads was adopted by the
senate without division
1t is now apparent that if the admin
lstratlon measure gets through congress
at all. it is going to be so amended that
it VIII not be recognized as the original.
The revolt of the senate insurgents
has been virtually successful alAl the
sections of the bill relative 10 traffic
agreements and mergers, which senator
Cumunins and other insurgents have been
lighting to amend. VIII be abandoned.
Practically nothing distinctive of the
original bill will remain, save the sec
tion providing for the creation of a court
of commerce. Even that has had a -7er-
ilous time in the house and nobody is
prepared to guarantee it will be enacted.
In fact, the difference between the
senate and the house are so great it
would surprise nobody if the entire bill
should fail in conference.
So serious became the situation Of the
bib late Monday that president Taft
himself at Pitts6urg was advised of the
situation over the long distance tele-
phone by senator Aldrich.
