CREvASSE GROWS WIDER
Mississippi River Floods Men,
ace Lives and Property in
Louisiana Section.

NEW ORLEANS. June 11.-Water from
the great Hymelia crevasse, the worst of
the Mississippi river floods, Is menacing
lives of inhabitants of the Des Allemands
section of Louisiana. In answer to ap-
peals from army officers engaged in re-
lief work, special train was hurried to
the Des Allemands section late yesterday.
Refugees were taken out of the danger
zone and food supplies distributed.
Water is four feet deep over the greater
part of the Lafourche section, and is GO
ing higher. Supplies also are being sent
there.
Flood Water Extending.
Since government engineers gave up the
attempt to close the Hymelia break the
breach constantly has widened. and flood
water has daily extended into country not
before damaged. Although the river gauge
is more than four feet below that at the
crest of the flood, the mile-wide breach
furnishes plenty of opportunity for water
to cover a large area The only chance
of the flood water getting back to the
regular channel seems to be for the river
TO fall below the level of this low coun-
try.

in Sunday nights murder case wherein

A detective working on this case also
helped in the investigation OF the mysteri-
Gus wholesale murder at Ellsworth, Kan.

two cases. One of these is the use of a
kerosene lamp. In each case one was
found burning in the room where the
crime was committed. Bloody finger

been preserved. and will be compared
by exrerts with those in the Nlllisca
case.
