FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE
ABANDON THEIR HOMES
sy .Associated Press.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 30.--Be-
tween 500 and 900 people living at the
lock and dam at Guild, Tenn, have
been compelled to abandon their homes
on account of the rise In the Tennes-
see river. which had reached the so
foot mark this mu-ning. No damage
has been done to the permanent work,
but 1t is possible that In case of
continued rise, the equipment will be
damaged.
Memphis, Tenn, March 3o.--That
the MigsSissipp river here will record
40 feet by Sunday night and Al fest
IN the next five days was declared by
local Forecaster S. C. Emery in an Of
ficinl statement. issued early today.
He believes that with the water now II
sight the river will attain a stage Of
a. feet or even higher provided the
levees do not break
At Helena, Ark, a stage Of so feet
viii be reached by the middle of next
week. Because many of the landings
have been submerged and for fear of
striking the levees. thereby causing
breaks, the steamboat lines have with
drawn many of their steamers. They
are tied up at the local wharves. The
St Louis boats have been discontinued.
Only small steamers are being navi-
gated In the upper and lower river
trade
The local gauge early today showed
q stage Of 3S.9.
Conditions in the manufactu dis
trfcts are such as to cause hurried
preparations for the removal of prop
erty to higher ground. A number of
saw mills will be put out Of commits
sion in the next few days If the water
continues TO rise,
The government engineers feel con-
ndent that the levees will Withstand
the pressure Of the water but are pre-
pared for emergencies.

Taft and Roosevelt
RecoIlsctions Of old-Tims Friend
ships and Their Bearing on
Present Relations.

Washington Dispatch to y. Y. Post.
Friends Of President Taft have had no
difficulty in learning the state Of his
feelings toward Theodore Roosevelt. 1t
Is not the question as 10 how the presi-
dent regards his predecessor politica
attitude. or his possible ambition to sue
coed the man who succeeded him which
has the strongest interest for those per-
sOnalIy close TO Mr. Taft, for he has
spoken his mind on these subjects. Be
fore there was a suspicion OF "a second
elective term purpose, the ties which
had bound the two men together had been
cut in a dozen places.
Men who draw their information from
a sure source say that in the time TO
come, when retirement has claimed both
the president and the colonel. Mr.. TAFT
believes that he and his predecessor in
office will be as good friends as they
were in the days when one OF them was
in the White House and the other was
In the War department.
To Mr.. Taft what Mr. Roosevelt has
done is case OF what might have been
expected. The president. his intimates
say, understood the temperament of Mr..
Roosevelt so thoroughly that he knew
that whether approving or disappearing
of administrative acts, retirement could
not keep the colonel quiet. The president
knows that human nature prompts most
men TO think that they could do the
thing much better than the man 10 whom
the thing appointed TO do.

A Flash in the Pan.

Scrutiny of the convention call
I formulated by the democratic ma
tional committee diseloses that all
the talk for letting the people rule
in selecting the democratic candidate
for president turned out TO be a
i flash in the pan To be sure, the
. democrats, like the republicans, have
authorized the choice Of convention
delegates and their instruction by
popular vote in those states which
have primary laws for that purpose,
and the democrats go trifle further
by permitting the state committees
to provide for direct election, If. in
the opinion Of the respective COM
mlttees. it is deemed desirable and
possible 10 do so with proper and
sufficient safeguards" Whether
any democratic committee will take
advantage of this opportunity is de-
cldedly open to question. for, despite
loud professions that the democratic
party IL the party OF the people.
there is, in fact. less popular gov
eminent in the democratic organiza-
ton than in the republican organiza-
ton.
But the selection OF delegates is
entirely distinct and different from
the instruction of delegates by a
presidential preference primary. II
the delegates are to be sent TO the
democratic convention uninstructed
whether they get their credentials
from a primary or from a conven-
tion-the rank and file Of the party
will have no more TO say about who
shall be the next democratic stand
ard bearer than they have had to say
in the past.
The strangest part OF II all is that
even with Mr.. Bryan present as a
proxy. after having championed the
enactment OF a presidential prefer
ence primary law in this state. he
did not even propose to incorporate
= recommendation of the preslden-
tlal preference vote In the demo-
cratic national convention call. Such
proposition was, OF course, fore
doomed to defeat, but no more than
was the effort 10 Dust the dlstasteful
member from Pennsylvania.
So IL is fair surmlse that Mr..
Bryan and his followers were more
eager to force the primary upon the
republicans than TO have Il for them.
selves, and that for themselves they
want, not a popular expression OF
preference as between democratic
asplrants, but convention so
divided or unlnstructed that the
democratic bosses viii be free to
make the same deals and dickers as
OF old. .. ..-

The Big New York Fire.

The real wonder OF the Equitable
building fire In New York Is, not
that Il destroyed s6.000,Ooo worth
ofproperty. but that II was prevented
from destroying many times that
amount OF property. The district
within which this fire occurred ID
reputed to be the most serious con-
flagration hazard In the world. Says
Arthur T.. McFarlane, student OF
such subjects, In the December num-
Der of McClure's:
The eight square miles between
Forty-Second street and the Battery
in New York City contain the great
est congestion OF population. the
greatest mass of buildings and the
greatest accumulation OF property
value ever brought together on the
same area OF which we have any re-
gard In history. ..E.
After the Baltimore fire the I'm
surance companies instituted an ex-
animation OF the cities OF the country
with reference to their fire hazard
and President Roosevelt loaned
Captain John 5. sewell, the army en-
gineer fire expert. to help out. Cap
tain sewell is quoted by Mr. McFar-
lane In his report as pointing out the
trightful dangers of a conflagration
in this very district, together with
the miserably inadequate fire alarm
facilities, "the poorest In the coun-
try" Captain sewell stated: The
conclusion Is inevitable that the mag
nifieent personnel OF the fire de-
partment has been the only thing
that has prevented sweeping con-
flagrations In the past"
Yet. in spite of this report in l sos
and another one in 1898. this dan
gerously deficient fire alarm system
remains practically unchanged. 1t ap.
pears that the fire which DESTROYED
the Equitable with several lives and
so many invaluable recorsd and Sc
curities, would have spread into q
eonflagration but for the "magnifI-
cent personnel Of the fire depart
ment." When the chief called out the
