crevasse is WIDENING.

Melville, La, May 22.-It was esti-
mated today that the Alto crevasse
in the Atchafalya river leyee, twenty
miles above this place, had widened
to more than 1900 feet and is still
widening. An immense volume of
water is pouring through the break
and is spreading rapidly over the
country. Two houses in the path of
the Crevasse waters were swept away
like chips and have disappeared.
Back water continues to rise here
at the rate of an inch an hour. The
tops of fences have been submerged
and numerous piles of firewood and
lumber have fioated away. The tele-
phone exchange is flooded and the
switchboard is being moved from
time to time to keep it above the
level Families have moved into the
Texas and Pacific station and many
freight cars on the high railroad en-
bankment are being used as temper
ary residences. The railroad has been
washed out at several places.
Several houses near Bush bayou, a
drainage canal town, have been swept
away. Two milieiamen attempted to
shoot the rapids in the bayou late
yesterday and came near drowning.
They were rescued from a tree after
three hours work. The troops will
probably be recalled today, the mayor
saying that the water had risen to
such a height that little remains to
be done
Lieutenant Weeks arrived yesterday
with the United States ship Mime
tonka and began distributing ratons.
The officer expressed the belief that
this was his last trip here because of
supplies and available
appropriations for relief work. 1t
was said that the Red Cross Society
might be appealed to to take up the
relief work in the event the govern
ment withdrew

LATEST RETURNS FROM OHIO SHOW
ROOSEVELT TAND HARMON WINNERS

today.
4 can only repeat what l have
already said. | infinitely prefer the
deliberate judgment of the people
to their impulsive judgment. and in
Ohio we got their deliberate judg-
ment; and, as have said, if I had
to make choice, I would prefer the
impulsive judgment of the people,
rath ar than the deliberate judgment
of the bosses"
Victory in Ohio means that it will
be hopeless to try to beat us at Chi
cago by unseating our delegates who
represent the popular will in Wash
ington, Indiana, Kentucky and else
where, nor will it be possible for them
to win by seating delegations from
Southern states, which represent no
thing whatever but fraud" continued
Mr.. Roosevelt in formal statement
today.
q am very profoundly appreciatiVe
of what the people of Ohio have
done. 1t represents a victory not
only for the plain people of the re-
publican party, but for every good cit
izen in the United States, for in this
contest we have stood for the fun
damental rights of good citizenship
and every honest and decent citizen;
no matter what his politics, is pro-
foundly concerned in our victory, for
we are fighting his battles"
Colonel Roosevelt said he had been
told by Walter Brown, manager of
his Ohio campaign, that the blind
ballot" in that state represented at
least 25 per cent handicap for the
Roosevelt supporters.

Asks TAFT 70 withdraw.

Washington, May 22.-Senator Dix
on, head of the Roosevelt national
headquarters, today issued state
ment practically calling on President
Taft to withdraw from the presiden-
tial contest.
"Ohio makes the tenth republican
state where the candidacy of Mr..
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt has been
submitted to the republican voters
themselves for decision" said Sena-
tor Dixon. "The verdict has been
a unanimous one in every state. Taft
and his campaign managers have
fully realized that an adverse We. dicc
in Ohio meant the deAth knell of the
movement to renominate Taft.
Realizing the situation, M. Taft
FRANKLY stated at Cleveland lass
Thursday in his speech: The vote il.
Ohio, my home state, will be the lie
cisive one, and will settle the ques
tion of the nomination.
The republican leaders and the re-
publican voters so interpret the Roos'
evelt landslide in Ohio yesterday.
THE republican party is bigger
than the ambition of any one man.
The one wise, patriotic thing TO be
done is for Mr.. Taft and his man
ayers now to accept the on n4nimous
verdict of the republican primary
states and to withdraw from the co..
test. Neither he nor his managers
can longer Withstand the nation wide
movement that calls for Ro )seFH't
once again to assume the leadership
of the republican party. His nomi-
nation is inevitable at Chicago, and
his election is certain in November
next" &4m

PRESIDENT CARRIED DEMocRA.
TIC COUNTIES, BUT LOST MA
JoRlTY OF COP. SECTIONS.
Harmon is Leading Wilson in Ohio
Vote for Delegates to Democratic
National Convention at Baltimore.
President viii Remain in Fight.

columbus, u, May 22.-Nearly
complete returns from yesterday pres
1denttal preference primary indiiate
that Colonel Roosevelt won thirty two
of fofty-two district delegates to the
republican national convention.
President Taft took ten district
delegates, Or slightly less than a
fourth of the total number.
On the democratic ticket Governor
Harmon is believed to have won by
a larger percentage than did Colonel
Roosevelt. Harmon is credited with
thirty-tlve district delegates, as
against seven for Woodrow Wilson.
Although President Taft secured
only ten out of the forty-two district
delegates, the Taft Roosevelt fight in
Ohio is not finished. 1t will be car
Vention which on June will select
six delegates at large.
Of total of less than 1000 dele
gates to the state convention, nearly
complete returns indicate that Pres
ident Taft has nearly a sufficient
Taft managers the six delegates at
large to be named by the state con-
convention, and probably will make
the presidents total sixteen, just an
even third of the Ohio delegation of
forty eight members which will at
tend the Chicago convention.
Democratic Delegates Named.
Governor Harmon, on the democra-
tic ticket, unlike Colonel Roosevelt,
will not be forced to make a further
fight for delegates at large, as the
democratic call specifies that the win
ner of the presidential preference pri-
mary shall name his own statewide
delegates. 1t will be impossible be-
fore a late hour tonight to give exact
figures. =
All indications point to a decisive
sweep for Roosevelt in his Ohio con-
test against Mr.. Taft for the republi-
can presidential nomination. 1t is es-
timated that Roosevelt will have a
plurality of 10000 over Taft.
Districts Carried by Teddy.
The thirty-two delegates that have
been elected to vote for Roosevelt are
from the following districts: Fourth,
fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, tenth, elev-
enth, twelfth, fourteenth, sixteenth,
seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth,
twentieth and twenty first. He also
will have one delegate from the third
and fifteenth.
Complete returns from SO of the S8
counties show that Roosevelt carried
As of them and Taft IA. Of the SO,
Governor Harmon carried the same
number as Roosevelt, and in the four
teen counties carried by Wilson, Mr..
Taft, on the republican ticket, failed
to deliver one of them.
Of the fourteen counties which
have so far reported as carried by
President Taft, one-half of them are
democratic strongholds, where the re-
publican vote was very light.

Taft Still in Fight.

Washington, May 22.-Back from
his Ohio campaign, President Taft
plunged into busy day at the white
house offices. He plans to leave on
Thursday for New Jersey to campaign
for delegates to Chicago who will be
elected at next Tuesdays primaries.
The president had no statement to
make this morning concerning the re-
suit of the Ohio PRIMARIES.
He has made known to his friends
that he is still in the fight and be-
lieves he will have enough delegates
IN secure the nomination at che Chi
cago convention.
One of the first things Mr.. Taft did
when he reached the white house was
IN arrange for an extension of his trip
to New Jersey, so that he will be
campaigning in that state until an
hour before the polls open at l o'clock
next Tuesday. The extension was
said bv Mr.. Tsft's supporters to be
an indication that he has determined

CAR SHORTAGE is

KET is IN BETTER CONDITION
THAN FOR YEARS.

e. T. Baton, secretary of the Miss
issippi Pine Association, states that
condition in the lumber market would
be most excellent if it were not for
the car situation. Last week there
was fairly good supply of cars and
most every mill was able to move
some of its stock, but complaints
about car shortage this week, in
crease with each day and the dis
tress is being felt quite generally. AS
to prices, he says, they were never
better and this applies to every line
of the lumber business. A steady up
ward trend Of prices has prevailed for
some time and the increased and
insistant demand puts the matter of
price entirely in the hands Of the sell
err, if he can only guarantee prompt

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 26.-Gov.

at Hartford and another in New Hav-

that he favored the initiative and the

administrative officers, but that he
was unofficially opposed to the recall
of the judiciary.
Governor Wilson said in part:
"If, mark you, I say, lat one
time the Southern Pacific rail-
road owned the Supreme Court
of the state of California, what
was the trouble? Would you remedy
it by recalling the judges of the Su-

long as the Southern Pacific rail-
roud could substitute others for them.
