When convicts were sent to hold
hack the swollen Mississippi, Mills at
tracted attention by his reckless disre-

pleaded, for every task which offered

"A few years ago the American peo-

to understand that here in our own dear
country we had a reproduction of these
glorious traditions. We were led to
believe that the combined spirit of Da-
mon and Jonathan had come out of
their haven of rest and taken refuge
in the corpus of Theodore Roosevelt
and that the combined spirits of Da-
vid and Pythias had in like manner
come to rest on the ample bosom of
William Howard Taft.

of this ferocious contest the country

series of spectacular vaudeville stunts
in politics without a parallel in the
history of our country and which I de-
voutly hope will not be again re-
peated."
Senator Stone referred to Senator
La Follette's participation in the cam
paign and continued:

"The world outside looks on agaast

Senator Stone read samples "of the

ENGINEERS TURN
TO RESCUE WORK
Efforts Are Directed to the Atchafa-
Iaya Basin Section, Where Many
Lives Are lmperiled.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, May 21-With the
work of closing the Hymelia CreVasse
well under way, other available en-
gineers and army officers were engaged
in rescue work today and directed their
efforts to the Atchafalaya basin, where
the crevasse waters are threatening a
section heretofore untouched, and i'm
periling lives and property.
The water at Melville is reported
from six inches to three feet deep in
several stores. The water continues
to rise at Morgan City, where the
merchants have erected elevated floors
in stores.
New Orleans, May 21.-Reports from
Melville today state that every store
in the town has water over the floors
in varying depth and the indications
were that before the water from the
Alto crevasSe on the Atchafalaya be-
gins TO recede only a few residences
will be dry. Remaining families are
moving into the second stories of their
dwellings.
Many Melville storekeepers and res
idents built elevated walks in front of
their places, but the rising flood float
ed them away and the only means of
travel is by boat. The postoffice has
been transferred to the railroad sta
tion. Floods from the lower Atchfa-
and Alto breaks driving against the
Texas and Pacific right of way may
force a suspension OF traffic before
many days. The engineers have de-
ci6ed to tie" the Alto break.
The Atchafalay continues to rise at
Morgan City and last night many Of
the streets of that town were under
from to 10 inches of water. Mer-
chants have bought thousands of feet
of lumber for constructing elevated
floors. Jules Freytel, aged 35, was
drowned in the river near Morgan City
yesterday when he jumped from an
unmanageable barge. A wife and four
children survive him.
At Hyemlia the United States en-
gineers have thoroughly organized
their forces for the closure of that
crevasse. Two batteries of driving
machines each with four separate pile
drivers manned by three crews in
eight hour shifts are expected to drive
piling across the front of the break.
