Big Levee Holds.

MORGANIA. Ala. May while
the engineers resent sensational stories
sent out from this place they admitted
today that the flood situation is crit
ical with the water in. some places less
than Il foot from the crown of the
lcyce
With the exception of two or three
places the lcvecs are in excellent con
dition. TorTas flood waters arrived
here tonight, but women and children
have been sent to places Of safety.
Unless the river goes much higher, the
engineers believe they have chance
of winning the fight.
At Morganza there is I00O.foot
stretch OF leyee that is low and waves
from a heavy wind this afternoon
washed over in several places. Men
were put TO work Gaping this section.
The Morganza lcvcc below this place
is the largest in the United States
and the water tins afternoon lacked
five feet Of reaching the top, This
lcyee has y gown of 10 feet with Il
l50-foot base and $4,000 cubic yards
OF earth TO the hundred running feet,
as compared to $4,000 yards to the mile
IN tho average railroad embanllment.
There is no scepage and the back of
the lcvcc is dry. 1t is three feet high
or than adjoining levecs. Rain fell

Body Well Preserved.

Although the remains Of Colonel AstoI
were not viewed at the church, the fea-
lures were SO lifelike after restoration
from the effects OF the sea that Mr.
Astor permitted all of the servants upon
the estate and several old-time residents
OF Rbinebeck and vicinity to view the
body at the Fernclffe mansion last Fri
day afternoon.
Contrary TO 2 widespread belief, an
other heir TO the Astor fortune is not
expected before carly fall. Mrs Made
leine Force Astor is OF course In seclu-
sion now. Her plans for the next few
months are not known. She is expected
TO remain al the Fifth avenue mansion
for the immediate future. but with the
approach OF the hot summer months she
may retire 20 some secluded country

Denies Changing Mind.

Mr.. Taft says [ have changed my
mind about the antitrust law. lie

again and again In speeches and in
messages To congress while | was

net and repeatedly expressed his APP

Mr. Taft SAYS ! have said that the
anti trust law ought 10 he repealed.
Mr., Taft we'll knows that this Is not
true. have always explicitly stated
that II ought TO be kept on the books
and really enforced mot merely nom
inally enforced as has been done by
Mr.. Taft III the Standard oil and To-
beCco trust cssesb against all trusts

have always said, and now say. that
by itself tho antitrust law VIII never
solve the problem of dealing with
the great corporations and that TO
control the great industrial interstate
corporations we should have q law
akin TO the present Interstate COM
morce law-but without the plschiey-
Gus Interstate commerce court.

More Denials.

MIR Taft says that I criticised him
because he prosecuted the Standard
Oil and Tobacco companies to the SUI
prcme court and got decisions there.
On the contrary Mr.. Taft knows we'll
that / criticised him not for having
thus continued the prosecution of the
suits that ] had begun. but because
after he had gotten these decisions he
then permitted the department OF JUS
tlcc so 10 shape matters that the
result was complete nulliflcation of
all the good result of his suit.
Ills conduct I'm this respect ls quito
incompatible with amy sincere purpose
really 10 enforce the antitrust law.
AS Il result OF his action the stocks OF
the corporations in question rose
greatly in value the rise in Standard
Oil stocks being over 100000, 900. Mr.
Taft can hardly have failed To- notice
that following his institution Of II suit
against the harvester trust, harv ester
stock went up two points.
Evidently Wall street has made up
its mind that Mr.. Tafts prosecutions
are fake prosecutions, whereas the
bitter hostility OF Wall street to me
shows how lively is its memory Of
the fact that my prosecutions wore
really prosecutions and hurt the per-
SONS prosecuted.
