CRISIS Al HAND IN THE FLOOD
REGIONS.
High Winds Drive the Water over the
Tops Of the Lcvees.

BATON ROUGE. La, April 29,--
The severest test to the levees above
and below Baton Rouge during the
present flood period came this morn
ing with high wind which broke into
almost a storm and In some instances
sent the water over the tops Of the
levees.
From the mouth of the river to
Baton Rouge the Mississippi river to-
day is higher than ever before record
ed and the fact that the levees in this
section withstood the strain Of the in
creasing tide coupled with the high
wind is considered encouraging.

BOTH SIDES ARE

PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE
PRIMARY TODAY.
WANGED Bitter CAMPAIGN
Leaders OF Both Sides Believe tho
Speeches VIII Bring Out a
Heavy Vote.

BOSOM, Tpril 29.-With the depart
ure of President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt from the state tonight the
campaign leaders gave their attention
to figuring up the net results Of the
speaking tours. Both sides were con-
fidcnt that the final visits of the can
didates meant more votes and neither
side was willing to admit the possl-
bility of anything but victory in the
statewide primaries tomorrow.
General Edgar r. Champlln, head
of the Taft league has repeatedly es-
timated that "a of the SO Massachu-
setts delegates at least will go for
President Taft and saw no reason to
alter his prediction tonight unless II
might be to increase the number.
City Counsellor Hale, the Roosevelt
leader said
"The Massachusetts Roosevelt com
mittee, to a man, Is confident that
Colonel Roosevelt will carry Massa-
ohusetts by substantial plurality"
Undcrcurrcnt for LaFollcttc.
BY most leaders 1t Is admitted that
in favor Of LaFollette.
on the democratic side there Is
much speculation as to the outcome OF
the Clark Wilson contest.
At the state election last November
1892 democrats and republicans
voted. About so per cent of the re-
publcans and 20 per cent Of the DEM
ocrats are enrolled for the primaries.
The voting will begin in Boston with
the polls opened at a. m. In sew
eral of the smaller towns the polls
will close either shortly before or
shortly after noon, About so per cent
of the 1858 cities and towns will hold
evening caucuses. so that definite
news of the contest is not expected
before Wednesday morning

More Is On the Way.

DIOTc Is OH titt WY.
That further and more serious dam
age may be caused was indicated last
night when the river gauge of the
Tulsa weather bureau. station showed
that the river, which during the day
had fallen five-tenths of foot, had
risen three-tenths since 3 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The first intimation of danger from
the river came early Sunday morning
when the stream began rising rapidly.
BY noon the sand reaches had been
covered and the water was within
two feet of the top of the banks prop
er Of the river.
Late in the afternoon. the river was
rising so rapidly that the county COM
missioners ordered force OF men
out on the wagon bridge with long
poles to keep the heavy driftwood
from battering the piers Of the bridge.
Large crowds gathered on the bridge
during the afternoon to watch the mad
yellow floods swirling to the sea.
Registers High Point.
The river continued to rise during
the night and at 7 o'clock yesterday
morning registered its highest mark,
1C.6 feet. BY that time all the river
bottoms close by were covered with
water ranging from a few inches to
two feet in depth.
Levees that had been built late Sun
day afternoon on the West Tulsa side
of the river proved Of no avail and
last night the water was tapping the
Uncle Sam refinery and the Frisco
tracks.
The river presented beautiful
spectacle yesterday and attracted large
crowds. The water was rushing down
at terrific speed, carrying with it.
heavy logs and brush, and occasionally
parts of small sheds and possibly
houses that had been washed away on
the upper river.
Protecting Wagon Bridge.
Fears that the old wagon bridge
might be carried away We're expressed
last night and rise of another foot
may do the work.
The wagon bridge at Cleveland was
carried away and many bridges over
tributary rivers met similar fate.
The Cimarron river. which empties
into the Arkansas few miles up the
river. is reported away OUT of its
banks and rising rapidly. Every lit

Galloplng his pony over muddy
roads through the moonlight. with u
heavy rifle slung to his back, Ralph
Perryman, scion of sturdy Creek In
dian stock, rode into jerks, ten miles
south of Tulsa, from his farm home
three miles west of that town, at IL
o'clock last night
One hour later in perpetratlng
holdup. he had killed one man and
shot another so dangerously that no

of Tulsa, was the man killed. Claude
Upton, proprietor of n joint in jerks,
was shot once through an arm and
once near the heart. DR.. Robert II.
Norwood, veterinary, of the firm of
Norwood and Henigan sprang upon
Perryman and wrestled with him until
help arrived.
The slayer Is youth of twenty years,
married, and has two children. He is
a Creek Indian. When he arrived in
jerks he loitered about the streets
for about half hour He then went
into the pool hall Of j. w. johnson,
where number OF men were playing
at the tables. He carried his rifle
with him.
Bent on a Holdap.
II am going to hold up this place"
Perryman is reported to have said,

got"
Apparently the youthful holdup was
'jollied' out of his purpose. He was
told that all the money in the house
had been sent to the bank late in the
day, and that there had been no money
taken in. The threat was taken only
half-seriously. Perry remained In
the place but few minutes. He left
shortly before IL o'clock.

He held his rifle in a threatening at

Smith evidently did not take Perry

lined up and Upton was coming
from behind the bar to do likewise.
"He? Not on your life" returDed

here tonight, after referring to Sena-

Guggenheim. He said the president
had practically nothing in his cam
paign back of him outside two or three
states except the support he received
from those men "and their like and
from the great sinister support of in
terests which stand behind these
bosses"
Colonel Roosevelt devoted a large
part of his speech to a reply to things
President Taft had been saying dur
ing the day at the other end of the
state. At intervals he received tele-
graphic reports of the president 8

day he entered upon a long distance
debate by retorting to Mr.. Tafts
statements

Arrant Nonsense, He Said.

Colonel Roosevelt said that the pres
ident had asserted that the colonel
was stirring up class Hatred. This
Colonel Roosevelt denied. "'rhe talk
that ! am stirring up class hatred is
arrant nonsense, he declared. In this
same connection he said:
IF Mr.. Tafts policy of flabby in
decision and oft-repeated acquies-
cence Of the wrong doing and crooked
is permitted there will really grow
up class hatred in this country. There
will grow up a very uncomfortable
and very ugly feeling of discomfort
with political, social and industrial
conditions"
Colonel Roosevelt made ii clear that
he did not believe the results Of
his campaign depended up on the pri-
maries.
Mind YOU" he said, II believe we
can win this fight without Massachu-
setts"

Pcrsimmon Pudding.

As the persimmon season is ap-

ers would like my recipe for persim-
mon pudding.
Select persimmons that are well
ripened To one quart of the fruit
add three teacupfuls OF thick sour
milk; mash well together until all the
pulp Is off the seeds. then rub through
a colander or sieve. Add to this mix
ture one teaspoonful Of soda. dis
solved in little hot water, butter
the size of an egg, two cupfuls of sug-
ar. one egg and one and one half
cupfuls of flour or just enough to
make thin batter. Bake until done
and serve with rich cream.
Now some of YOU may say: II know
tbs not fit to eat" but just try 1t once
for yourselves.
