Situation Continues Alarm ing Along the Mississippi
 in Louisiana.
FAMILIES SEPARATED
Negroes Refuse to Work After Being Fed By GOyernment.-MOre
 Leyees Give Way.

New Orleans, La, May 10.-The flood situation which was more en- couraging during the day, is again critical tonight, owing to forty-mile gale accompanied by heavy rain- storms One hundred miles of the Mississippi river is within the storm zone. The river has risen and the
 wind is driving the water still furth- CT inland. The work of removing 20,- 100 refugees from the camp at New Roads has been halted temporarily, md great fear is felt for the safety of the inhabitants throughout that
 entire vicinity. Extra forces of men have been pu; to work upon the le- vee.
 The revenue cutters Windom and Winona have been ordered to New Roads and will reach there tomorrow. Panicky scenes accompany the re- moval of the inhabitants. Entire amilies have become separated in she excitement and half crazed mo- hers and fathers are rushing about in different camps searching for sons and daughters. Thieves have also been found among the refugees. The
 negroes have refused to work in sev- eral of the camps since receiving free government rations. It has been ne-
 cessary to force them to do their
 share of the work on the levees. A break occurred today in the Vi-
 dalia levee and as result large
 stretch of country opposite Natchez. where the first danger was consider ed passed, is under water. The cre-
 vases are keeping the river gauges
 about stationary. but gneral rising to-
 night and today had bad effect on all dykes.
 1 The situation as whole is vastly improved tonight. The break in the
 levee at Illyra, few miles below the
 city, has been repaired and the sum-
 shine has hardened the levees to the
 extent that. no more serious breaks
 are anticipated. The main levee at
 Baton Rouge shows signs of giving
 way, hut a protection levee has been
 constructed and it is hoped that this
 will prevent any extensive damage If the big dam breaks.

NEWCOMERS TO THE
 CITY OF PINE BLUFF
Miss Grace Spaulding)

"Know Thyself" is philosophical expression that has come down to us from ancient times. It is usually applied in a personal way but it would be very appropriate for the slogan of a town, not one to adver- tise broadly like "Williamsport Wins or Chicagos q Can, Will" but one strictly for home use, to be oft re- peated among our citizens and lived up to by all. Know Thyself.
 Do you know the newcomers who are within your city now? Of course, they are almost strangers now but will be citizens soon. Do you know who they are, why they are here, where they now live or where they came from? There are new indus tries, new business houses, new stores and new offices being opened up in Pine Bluff almost every day. Do you know about them? Could you tell a man from rival town what their capital is, their capacity or out nut. or what special lines they repre- sent? Can you tell any real facts about the industrial and commercial side of your city?
 Pertinent questions these, but we must remember tha, 1t IS the as somhlod narts that make the whole. Newcomers form a part of your city and if perchance you are familiar with the things already established get acquainted with the newcomers and in touch with the business they represent. 1t is in this way that you will come to Know Thyself.'
 For the past year many strangers have come to Pine Bluff, drawn here by some of the commercial or pro ! fessionAl openings, and as 1t has

BRANDT IS PUT
 BACK IN JAIL Schiff's Valet Loses Case in Appellate Division of the
 Supreme Court. TECHNICAL POINT
TECHNICAL POINT
Only the Writ of Habeas Corpus is Within Strict Legal Purpose,
 Holds Court.

New York, May 10-The Appellate Division reversed today Supreme Court Justice Gerard's decis on re- leasing on a writ of habeas corpus, s. E. Brandt, the valet who has been sentenced to thirty years in prison for burglary and assault on M. L. Schiff.
 ss.It is; a sdecision altogether technf- cal in it's nature, which does not go into the mer ts of Brandts original conviction and extraordinary sen- tence. It merely decides that a writ of ha'Deas corpus does not lie in the peculiar circumstances presented in the Brandt case.
 Counsel for Brandt has contended that though Brandt pleaded guilty te burglary in the first degree. his statement to Judge Rosalskl, who sentenced nm, showed clearly that he was net guilty of that offense, and therefore the Judge has without jurisdiction in sen ',encing him for the crime charged. Justice Girard up- held this contention. The Appellate Division by unanimous dec sion now says that Justice Gerard erred, fo' the reason that all the circumstances combined to show that Judge Rosal- ski had complete jurisdiction.
 Only the writt of habeas corpus within it's strict legal purpose, the court decides that nothing can De done when it is invoked save to 1n' quire into the legality of the deten- tion of the prisoner, in whose inter- est it is sued. There can be no re- view under it CT the circumstances attending the defendants incarcera' tion. If he is delayed under due pro- cess fthe law, the purpose ot the writ is served, and the defendah must be remanded.
 So decided, however, the court l' at pains to point out that the law pro vides other reasons for ascertalnlns

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Alma Butler was the old
est daughter of MIR. and MRS. j.
f. Dillard. She was born March
18th 1899, died the 21st day of
March 1912, age % yrs and three
days. She leaves a husband and
one darling boy. Father. Mother,
six brothers and four sisters to
mourn her death. It's not her
loss, but eternal gain. The Lord
doeth all things well.
Oh! how sad our hearts are
made to feel, we can never again
see her in this world, but we
shall know each other there.
The dear one has left US,
Her spirit has flown,
O'er the pathway of spirits,
1t has gone to its home.
Her voice and her spirit,
To US hushed evermore,
1t joins the glad Anthum,
On Heavens bright shore.
Dear Alma has gone to rest,
Her voice no more we. II hear.
Till we reach that home Of bliss
Then we'll see her shining face.
OH how we miss her dear face
And loving tender care.
Her home is now a lonely place,
No one to use her chair.
She has gone to Heaven,
To the shining courts above.
To dwell with Christ forever,
Where ali is peace AM love.
She was patient in her suffering
Always cheerful, meek and
mild.
Our hearts are sad and heavy,
Since dear Alma went away.
But oh! she is so happy,
Where it is one eternal day.
Earthly life hath pain and sor.
row,
But we know it will not be long,
If we serve the loving Master,
Till we join her in the happy
| throng.
