MANN ACCUSED OF LYING.
Congressman Graham of Illinois Has
Bitter Words for Colleague.

Washington, April 16.-For the
purpose Of making a fiat charge
that Mr.. Mann, the minority leader.
knowingly" had uttered a deliberate
falsehood in an effort to discredit
him. Representative Graham of Ilr-
nois, chairman Of the house interior
department expenditures committee
took the floor today and delivered a
bitter assault on his colleague. The
attack grew out Of Mr.. Mann's allega-
tions Of few days ago that Chairman
Graham had befriended and advised
Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray, alleged by
him to be woman lobbyist active
in Indian legislation. An affidavit
which Mr.. Mann had said proved his
allegations was read by Mr.. Graham
who said it was neither proof nor
even an affidavit as Mr.. Mann had al
legged.
Mr.. Graham, shaking his clenched
fist at Mr.. Mann, declared that he
was justified in the belief that Mr..
Mann was trying to get the charges
before the country when he had
knowledge that they were absolutely
false"
Mr.. Mann insisted that common de-
cency demanded an Investigation Of
the whole thing. No action was talk

Talulah, La, April 16.-Heavy
rains almost of cloudburst proportions
which have fallen here during the
past two days have intensified the al
ready terrible condition of the flood
sufferers, many OF whom have been
without food since the waters from
the Salem levee break invaded this
territory. Freight cars, attics, upper
stories, lodge rooms, the court house,
high school building and even the Jail
are being occupied by the unfortu-
mates who have been driven from
their homes.
The fight of the citizens of Tallulah
to keep the floods from the southern
part of the town has been lost. The
temporary levee thrown up along the
embankments of the Vicksburg-
Shreveport and Pacific and the Iron
Mountain railroad was overlapped
early today, flooding that portion Of
the town which had heretofore re-
mained dry.
The town was in total darkness last
night owing to the flooding of the
electric light plant.
More than 1000 negroes who were
on the levees for a distance Of 90
miles south Of the Salem crevasse
many of them without food, for more
than "a hours, were rescued yesterday
by boats sent out from Vicksburg.
All Of the negroes, who as a rule
never worry about tomorrow and be-
cause Of the hard winter just expert
enced, are in destitute circumstances.
Unless aid is received for them imme-
diately there will be untold suffering.

as a man of affairs has fitted him for

date ana his record guarantees that
he would, as member of the senate,
make The most Of his opportunities to
