five miles north of Morganza, broke
this afternoon shortly after o'clock,

when the levee gave way.
This levee is in Points Coupee

here will complete the overflow of
practically all of the rich farming
lands from that point to the Gulf of
Mexico, covering parts of eight par
ishes.

lifeboats were lowered except the
collapsibles, concerning all of which
there was no accurate evidence; but
most of the boats did not have a full
complement of persons. But for the
wireless equipment of the vessel, it
was doubtful if anyone or many would
have been saved.
Lord Mersey wished to know 20
how many officers warnings of the
ice had been communicated. Sir Ru-
fus could not answer more definitely
than probably the chief and first Off
GERS.
Lord Mersey also wished to know
whether the vessels of other nation
alities were compelled to carry more
lifeboats than British ships. Sir Ru-
fus could not say positively as to
this, but said that evidence on the
point would be offered.

Baton Rouge, May 3.-The Missis-
sippi river protection levee in front
of Bayou Sara, La, broke at noon to-
day, according to reports here, ano

the engineers. Federal and state,
who are working so valiantly to pro-
tect the remaining stretches.
The waters from the Torras crew
asse are rapidly spreading over the
rich sugar and rice plantations OF
Points Coupee parish, inundating the
small towns in the foods path, cover
ing thousands of acres Of fine lands
and making hundreds homeless every
few hours.
This morning the water was report
ed eight to ten feet deep on the states
big convict farm at Angola and the
states half million dollar sugar re-
finery is flooded.
Many refugees arrived in Baton
Rouge this morning from the flooded
territory across the river, bringing
with them what of their cattle they
could get out of the fields and woods
before the water reached them. About
one hundred other refugees from
the flooded territory reached New
Roads today. All told stories of suf-
fering and in many instances thrilling
escapes from death, but thus far there
has been IC report of loss of human
life. The refugees are being cared
for by the United States gove.l nent

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF STATE
USES SHOVEL TRYING TO
SAVE BIG LEvEES.
Mad Waters seep Through Great
Dykes Despite Work of Thousands
Of Volunteer Laborers Under Cow
ernor Sanders.

Baton Rouge, La, May 3.-At I
O'Clock this afternoon muddy water
began to come through the base of
the front levee at Main street, where
a force of hundreds Of volunteer cit
liens are working side by side with
state convicts in a desperate effort
to hold back the food waters of the
Mississippi until the protection levee
at the south side of the toyn can be
completed.
Governor Sanders is on the levee
personally directing the work, which
means so much to vast territory on
the east side of the Mississippi river.
At noon two hundred additional
state convicts were brought in from
Oakley and put to work on the pro-
lection levee south Of the city, which
must be completed before the ex-
pected break in the levee comes, else
the flood will be turned loose to its
work of destruction and devastation
in four parishes on the east side as
far down almost as New Orleans.
Mud boxes are being placed around
the waterworks plant, and sewerage
pumping station, which are under
the hill and would be put out of COM
mission should the levee give way
before this emergency work is COM
pleted.

Cannot Estimate Loss,

New Roads, La, May 3.-Slowly
but surely eating away the broken
ends, the whirling yellow waters OF
the Mississippi river are today sweep
ing through a 1000 foot gap at Tor,
ras, La 1t is difficult to estimate
the financial loss, which must come to
the whole of one parish at least-
Points Coupee-and parts of several
othtrs, but it is certain it viii run
high into the hundreds of thousands
OF dollars.
The sugar cane, cotton, rice and
corn crops which were well advanced
will he total loss before the flood
has completed its work. In addition
to the crop, the loss of livestock will
be rery heavy.
Torras was practically cut Of from

water having buried the cross -kim.
IN which the telegraph wires wers
strung. There is but one telephone
wire working to that place, and it is
difficult to communicate with any
one over this.
Special trains were run between
this place to point near Torras last
night to bring out refugees.
Relief trains were also operated as
far as Bachelor until the tracks al
Lettsworth were submerged. Hun
dreds of persons forced from their
homes by the water were picked ur
at all stations along the line and
brought to New Roads. Many re-
fused to leave their homes, preferring
to take their chances with the turbu-
lent waters.
In every direction farmers could
be seen from the train herding their
livestock and driving them to the lev
ees. Thousands of head of cattle have
been moved out of the flooded area,
the railroads having, as precaution-
ary measure, placed stock cars on all
sidings at stations along their lines.
Appeals for motor boats to be used
in rescue work continues to be sent
out from Torras, one having been
received here last night, saying un-
less more boats were received there
Immediately there would be loss of life
back in the country where rescue
expeditions had not yet reported.
No loss of life has been reported
from any point in the newly flooded
areas, but many stories of thrilling
escapes are continuously coming in.
Several negro cabins directly in front
of the crevasse were picked up and
dashed to pieces by the wall of water
only few minutes after their occu-
pants had made their escape.
Appeals for help reached here last
night from Naples, a town of 500 in
habitants at the junction OF the Red
and Atchafalaya rivers. Federal sup
plies were soon on the way to the
people there, who have so far refused
to leave their inundated homes. The
family of A. B. Carruth 1T Naples, had
a narrow escape from being drowned
when their home was dislodged by
the food. They succeeded in taking
refugee on a barge which has been
moored to their house,

New Roads, La, May 3.-The levee
situation from Morganza down as far

most threatening aspect during the
last twelve hours. At what is known

of the levee caused a general alarm
to be sent out last night and large
force of men were kept working all
night and this morning a double force
relieved them. Sand boils have de-
