UNITED PRESS LEASED w1nn.l

New Orleans, La, May 3,-Thou-
sands Of male residents of New Or
leans this afternoon are fighting des-
perately in an effort to save the city
from the flood water of the Mississ-
ippl river. Although many are en-
gagged In strengthening the dykes with
sandbags and others repairing breaks
as rapidly as reported, the water late
this afternoon is tapping over the
levee at the foot of Esplanade avenue,
in the heart Of the fashionable resi-
dence district, and also at CNnal street
the city's chief business thoroughfare.
1t is believed however, that the flood
fighters will have the situation under
control before night.
Reports from Baton Rouge, the
states capital, say the situation there
is desperate. The water is pouring
in torrents over the levee at such a
rate as to threaten the city with de-
structlon Already more than 1000
square miles of land is under water,
and in the surrounding territory more
than 100000 homeless persons are
fleeing to higher ground.
The convict farm at Angola, few
miles from Baton Rouge, is under 10
feet Of water, despite the game but
hopeless fight the convicts made
against the flood. About 1900 con-
victs at the institution /, could easily
have escaped in the confusion last
night, but none tried.

TO ESTABLISH
A CREMATORY
AT THE ASYLUM

When the next legislature convenes
there will probably be submitted to it
bill providing for the establishment
OF a crematory at the asylum as the
present asylum graveyard Is rapidly
filling up with the dead from that in
stltutlon, and II will only be a matter
Of time If the practice of burying the
dead Is continued until additional
ground will be needed.
There now reposes in the graveyard
about 1900 inmates and this list is
being added at the rate Of about 15O
a year. This means that the ceme-
terry will soon be full, and that addi-
tional ground must he had AS the
land is valuable, and a crematory is,
in many ways, better the legislature
will be asked to provide one
In the event this Is done the bodies
will be exhumed and cremated.
Should II not then they.Iwill probably
be exhumed, and a graveyard started

Foote, the tbied rancher charged with
murder, yesterday took the witness
stand in his own behalf in the circuit

not control his actions.
Foote is the father of a large fam

had wronged his oldest daughter. and

THOSE IN
STEERAGE
NOT TOLD
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE

New York, May 3.-That the steer
age passengers aboard the Titanic
knew nothing of the accident which
had befallen the vessel until tor
rent of water started rushing into
their quarters, was the testimony
given to Senator William Alden
Smith, chairman of the Titanic in
vestigation committee, here today, by
Daniel Buckley, aged 81 years, OF
County Cork, Ireland, a steerage pas
senger. One of the stewards, he said,
warned the passengers in the steer
age that they had better hurry to the
upper decks unless they wanted to
drown. Buckley said:
Il rushed upstairs, but found no
life preservers and started back
down, but found that the water had
reached up to the third step leading
from the steerage quarters, and was
coming up fast l saw a steward
trying to lock a gate which would
bar us from the first and second
class decks. A man tried to stop the
steward but was knocked down. Then
we all rushed and broke down the
gate.
Il went on deck and saw five boats
launched from the starboard side. A
sixth boat was ready and some men
got in 1t as there were only a few
women about. They were ordered
out by an officer. A woman whom
afterwards learned was Mrs. John
Jacob Astor threw a shawl over me
and ! stayed in the bottom Of the
boat"

Their Terrible Crimes.
The crime for which the brothers
were sentenced to death was one of
the most foul known. They went at
night to the home of Mrs. Griffith, of
whom they were neighbors, believing
she had considerable sum of money
In her home AS the woman was
taking down her hair, the men leaped
on her from behind and overpowering
her, strangled her with a rope. Be-
fore and after DEATH they in turn at
tackled her After the second assault
they took her body and carried 1t to
a mill pond, third of mile from
her home, They threw the body in
the pond
The next day the woman could not
be found, and neighbors formed
searching parties. Several days af-
ter the tragedy her body was found
floating in the pond.
George Humphreys face bore
marks of fresh scratches and this
and other suspicious circumstances
led to his arrest together with his
brother Both later confessed to the
crime.
Charles also confessed that he and
his brother murdered William King,
their step-father; George Selby and
George Darmose. Most OF their vic
tins were choked to DEATH

PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR SAYS
SUPREME COURT

The mandate of the supreme court
IN the North Salem sewer case, in
which Dr. n. f. Rogers, ct al, were
plaintiffs and the city of Salem de-
fendant, has reached the county
clerks office. The mandate recites,
among other things, that all Of the
proceedings taken by the city prepar-
atory to laying and constructing the
sewer were regular, and that no error
was committed by the city in levylng
the assessments, both as to the orig
inal and deficit assessments. This
reversed the decision of the lower
court which held that the deficit as
sessment, which was about 25 per
cent Of the total sum levied, was lev
led prematurely. A case is now pend
ing in the supreme court of almost
identically the same character, in
which the assessments for the con
struction Of the South Salem sewer
are involved No decision has so for
been reached in the case, but 1t is
safe TO assume that the decision will
he Identical with the one already
handed down. A decision is howev-
er expected in the South Salem case
soon after the return of the court
from Pendleton, to which place It goes
to open court next Monday
The mandate In the North Salem
case modifles the decision 80 far as II
affects certain properties near the
tair grounds, which have ample facil-
tiles for drainage provided by the
state sewer with which they have the
right to connect Those affected are

. LESSON
IN BUILDING
GOOD ROADS

Mr. ]. A. Looney, of Route 8, Sa-
lem, oregon, has just returned from
a three-months trip in the south,
Mr.. Looney was one of the main
movers in the fight for good roads in
road district No. --, north of Salem,
where he lives. The people down
that way have always had one of the
toughest roads in the country and at
the last road meeting which they
held in January, they decided to vote
tax which would build them the
best road in the county. This was
accomplished by a three-mill special
tax and the three-mill regular tax,
making a six-mill road tax. With
tnis tax a fine six-inch maoadamized
road, Ia feet wide, has been built a
distance of about two miles. Great
credit should be given to every resi-
dent of this district for their enter
prise, and especially to their road
supervisor, Mr.. r. o. Johnson. He
has built a stretch of road that
would be a credit to any engineer
and will do more to enhance property
values along the Chemawa road lead
ing north from the fairgrounds, than
almost anything else.
This shows In a striking manner
how good roads can be built by the
people directly interested, without a
bond issue or any other kind Of in
debtedness. Mr.. Looney says he is
more than pleased with the way their
money has been expended, and that
he believes everybody else in the dis
trict is satisfied Mr.. Looney says II
Is now up to Salem to fix the fair
grounds road from the city limits
south to Capitol street, one of the
worst pieces Of road in the country
