act, urge him on he will make it most unpleasant for them.
 So far as the ultimate result of my action in this matter is concern ed, he said, "I do not fear it. I Know that the larger number of oeo- Die believe that 1 am doing what is my sworn duty in this matter The only thing that hurts me is that I have been called upon to part with some of my best friends. may have some trouble financing things hereafter because of my enforcement of the law, hut l guess l can manage it."
 District Attorney Nixon says that he has been grossly misrepresented in the whole affair. He says he has not issued a warrant for anyone with whom he played cards, but he says he may yet do so.''
 There is no necessity for so much excitement over the arrest of men who can we'll afford to pay their fines. Informations in a magistrates S court cost the county less and cost the accused less, if found guilty, than if they had been indicted by the grand jury. There have been all kinds of statements made regarding my in- tentions. Some have said that I in- tended to raid the Elks Club and oth- CT clubs. This is not so and I have never intimated such a thing. Neith- CT do I intend to arrest the ladies for playing poker or whist, as many seem anxious to declare on the street corners.
 "The statement has been made that fifty prominent citizens have been arrested for gaming. This is not true either. I have only issued 25 informations and only that 21 war rants have been served.
 "They have taken advantage of JOCu1dT StdIcllcHIo IAdl HdNC HIooC, relative to needing money, etc., and are trying to lead the people to be- lieve that I am prosecuting the card players for no purpose other than to secure money. l do not think this is fair to me to create such an inn pression. My object and motive in prosecuting the card players are just as pure and straight as that of any of my predecessors and perhaps is being done for the same reasons and I do not feel that should te criti- cised for using my official authority where it ought to be used.
 There are a favored few who are doing everything that they can to array friends against me and are misrepresenting the facts in every way"
 Deputy Prosecuting Attorney T. G, Parham, who, it was reported, would tender his resignation as MT. Nixons deputy, stated yesterday that he had no such intention and that he had never intimated anything of the kind

Crevasses at H m e Ii a Causes Alarm, Loss of Life
 and Stops Train Service
IS 600 FEET WIDE;
Hundreds are Left Homeless and Government is Trying to Relieve
 Situation.

New Orleans, May 15.-Now six hundred feet wide, the Hymelia ere vases in the Mississippi river is the waterway which through billions of gallons of water is pouring tonight over the surrounding country. The Texas and Pacific Railway Com iany s main line was put out of busi- ness in less than twelve hours af- ter the levee broke and it is unable to operate trains beyond Killona sta- ton, thirty-five from New Orleans.
 The Southern Pacific main line to California, the only line now operat- ing out of Louisiana to the west, is expected to go by Saturday, by which time the high water will have cover- ed the tracks between Boutee and Bowie
 Hundreds of people are homeless as a result of the break and suffer- ing will be great Captain Charles H. Danforth, United States Army, in charge of the government relief work on the lower Mississipps, ar- rived at Hymela this morning and has ordered supplies sent out to Bat ton Rouge Motor boats will be sent out to the surrounding country and rescue the sufferers who have been cut off by the raging current of wa ter that within "A hours after the break has inundated approximately 100 square miles of territory.
 Efforts are being made tonight to close the crevasses but 1t is not thought possible to succeed. Captain z. o. Sherrill, United States Engin- ger, in charge of the Fourth Missis- sippi River Improvement District, ar rived here this afternoon with men and material The Southern Paci- fife has also rushed transfer hnats. tugs, bridge workers and a quantity of material to Hymelia and tonight everyone is working close to the break which, however, is steadily widening.
 | HC OHllCu oIdlCc EONCI ud6 been asked to take charge of condi- tions here.
 Bad levee foundations and lack of cooperation on the part of the Louisiana Basin Levee Board and the. planters in the vicinity of Hymelia is responsible for the crevasses.
 Numerous other bad places are re- ported in the levee here and New Or leans. The rainstorm of last Friday night developed many weak spots in this vicinity and below here.
 The damage to this section. the richest cain and rice country of the United States, will amount to mill lions of dollars. It will be possible to replant this year.
 Unknown persons dynamited the roadbed of the Texas Pacific railroad between Addia and Crosse Tete. this state, presumably in an effort to all low back water from the Torras cre- vases to escape through the embank- ment towards the gulf.
 At Torras one end of the break was successfully tied today and to- morrow the government engineers in charge there expect to tie the other side. The amount of water flowing through Torras is undiminishing ' Levee conditions at other points in the state are late tonight reported without further crevasses.

District Attorney T.

ARKANSAS AGAIN
 IS ON THE RISE

Heavy rains over the watershed have resulted in a rise in the Arkan- sas river at this point, rise of more than a foot and a half being record ed since Sunday morning. The stage this morning was 14.S with the river rising slowly.
 As a result of the heavy rains over eastern Oklahoma and eastern Kan sas it is probable that the rise will amount to from two and half to three feet more The rise may be a little in excess of this.
 Rising water is reported from all points above Oswego, Wyandotte Fort Gibson, Tulsa, Muskogee ana Calvin reporting substantial rises in the river at those points.
