filed with the Boston board election
commissioners tonight by Chairman
Herman Horned Of the republican

would have been sufficient. If counted
to have elected the Taft ticket for del

A STEADY rain IS falling
is ADDING TO THE WORK OF PRO-
TECTING THE ALREADY OVER
STRAINED LENEES.
BATTLING AGAINST Odds
Engineers Have Faint Hope OF Being
Able to Keep Other Leyces from
Giving Way Before Strain.

BATON ROUGE. La. May 2.-The
flood situation in central Louisiana is
the most desperate since the huge
volume of water began pouring down
the Mississippi valley. The rent in the
west levee line at Torras is widening,
letting the waters of the big stream
through to the rich sugar lands OF
Pointe Coupee parish; the states big
farm at Ongola, on the east side of
the river was flooded by crevasse
at noon today; weak spots are deVel-
oping in the Grand Bay embankment
above Morganba and conditions are
threatening in Baton Rouge. In addi-
ton, a steady rain has been falling,
softening the already strained levees.
1t became apparent early today
that the Torrance crevasse with its
12-hour start could not be stopped
and the federal and state engineers
turned from the constantly widening
gap there to devote their labors to the
almost hopeless task of saving re-
naming levees where ever greater
damage might be done by crevasses.
Facing Heavy Odds.
Capt. G. O. Sheriff., chief of the fed
eral engineers freely admitted tonight
that the situation is alarming at sew
eral points south Of the Red river.
Captain Sheriff. and a force of sew
eral thousand experienced workmen
are laboring day and night now but
they are facing greater odds than ever
before were presented by floods in the
lower Mississippi valley. They have
slight grounds for basing hopes of
keeping the west levee line from Ba-
ION Rouge south intact.
Captain Sheriff. arrived in Baton
Rouge tonight from the Torras ere
vase with Governor Sanders and Ma
jor Kerr, president of the state leveo
beard. After a hurried survey of tho
threatening situation along the water
front, Captain Sheriff. Immediately
put a force to work on the embank-
ment.
AT o'clock tonight the flood was
within 12 irches of the top Of the
sandbags which have been placed
along the river leVee protecting front
street This levee may break at any
time but it would not flood the resi-
dental or main business portion of the
city. The damage would be confined
largely to the Wholesale district.
Many Boats Are Needed.
Although several hundred people
were today removed from the terri
tory flooded by the Torras break, hun
dreds of others are living in the west
of the river awaiting the arrival of
boats to transport them to high lands.
Appeals have been coming In all day
long for gasoline launches and small
craft to assist in getting people out
of the overflow country south of
Torras.
The flood waters in the Atchafalaya
district today swept over the tracks
of the Frisco railroad at Elliott City,
and the Texas & Pacific line is out OF
commission from Bachelor north to
Torras, distance of about II miles. |

meeting WITHOUT D|SCORD
Both Sides Agreed TO Disagree and
Each Quietly Elected Delegates to
the Chicago Convention.

ALEXANDRIA, La, May 2.-Tho
already badly muddled Louisiana re-
publican situation was given an addeo
daub of coloring today when the. state
convention of the lilly white" fac
ton split up into two wings" and
elected two sets Of delegates to the
national convention to be held in Chi
cago. One wing lauded President Taft
and elected six delegates at large in
structed to vote for the presidents 3
denomination. The other wing adopt
ed with the same unanimity the same
resolutions endorsing Colonel Roose-
welt and chose six prominent Louisiana
republicans to go to Chicago and vote
for the colonel to the last.
Was Perfect Harmony.
And yet there was harmony. in the
convention and both wings" insist
there was no bolt. They simply agreed
to disagree on the one question OF
whether proxies should be counted
in the election of temporary chair
man. Both wings choose vice chair
man and then a committee agreed
that the Taft wing should have this
convention hall one hour, after which
the Roosevelt wing should come III
and transact business. The agreement
was lived up to and the resolutions
which the Roosevelt faction adopted
endorsing Frank b. Williams, leader
of the Taft wing as the real chair
man of the state republican eXecu-
tive committee were no less laudatory
Of Mr.. Williams than were those
adopted by his own wing.
The action of the convention today
means that three different sets OF
delegates will go to the Chicago con-
vention from Louisiana and give the
credentials committee there nice
Job to figure out which is regular
The BLACK and tans" held state con-
vention in Alexandria last month and
elected a set of delegates for Mr. Taft.
Each of the three sets lay claim to
regularity and they promise lively
fight when all get to the big conven-
ton.

HEAVY Interest SETTING IN
Whistles Blew Early and Often Yes
tcrday--PrOmincnt Business Man
Gives Si,000.--Saptains Records.

IT is hard to tell just where to grab
a root in the Kendall campaign and
play it up so the people will appre-
clate the bigness Of the thing. The
12-day spirit is certainly getting into
the blood of the business men back Of
the great undertaking and the results
yesterday tell the tale. Six times the
whistles blew and the clock began
to buzz, and now stands at $4,000,
with the total reported at $14,31S at
6 o'clock.
The campaign headquarters was
thrown into a furore when Captain
Jordon drove up at break-neck speed
and Jumping out as his sorrel came
to a stop, threw his hat clear into
the headquarters and across the office
into the dining room and let out
yell like a Commanche on the war
path. Everybody waited to see what
it was all about. Finally he laid down
pledge of $1,000 from the Ladies
Aid society Of the Presbyterian church.
They all gave nine rahs and a tigei
and did It again.
He was hardly through before man
after man began TO report and the
thousands began to roll up and up.
one Of the most hopeful things Of
the whole campaign is the fact that
so many are giving twice as much as
the estimate hoped for by the com
mittee Several times yesterday mer
who at first flatly refused to invest
when they had the facts laid before
them. came down with splendid
amounts.
