Break in LeVee at MiIerS Bend VIII Inundate
 Worlds Most Productive District
NEARLY 2OOO MORE SQUARE MILES FLOODED
Breach Near Golden Lake Ar Inundates Two Towns Sev- eral Villages and 5OOOOO Acres of Rich Farming Land Thousands of Head of Livestock Perish But No Loss of Human Life Reported Hundreds Fighting Flood

The yellow torrent of the Mississippi river rushing southward, yesterday tore another great gash in the lecees guarding the fertile acres of the val ley. The crevasse occurred sixty miles north of Memphis in the embankment that held the stream off the central part of St. Francis levee territory in Arkansas.
 This new breach that had seemed imminent for a week or more. simply adds to the great flood-reach in north east Arkansas, Already part of the district has been inundated. Appar- ently there will be no life loss. Never theless this cannot be determined for many days.
 In the fastnesses of the northeast Arkansas country are settlements the outside world rarely ever hears of. In such places naUght of the coming flood was known. There is a possi- btlity that many of such places in the inundated districts of Arkausas have been overtaken by the tide. Doubt less there has been tremendous suf- fering among these water-imprisoned people.
 The situation south of Memphis seems unchanged. Revetments guard . ing the great Delta and Yazoo dis tricts have held firm. The crucial point in the fight was at Greenville, north of Vicksburg. Here the flood waters threatened to top the levee at any moment

AMAZING FEATURE OF
 PARCELS POST BILL.
Costs More to Send Fourteen Ounce
 Package Than a Pound.

Washington, April s.-With every prospect of long and spirited debate, the house today began consideration of the postoff1ce appropriation bill carry ing S259, 9,827,749, provisions for. a rural parcels post, steel mail cars after 1917, an eight hour day for clerks and car riers in first and second class offices, increases in pay for rural carriers and other hard fought reforms.
 Interest centered on the rural parcels post provision and Chairman Moon freely admitted it was the opening wedge and an experiment,
 Representative Murdock of Kansas, to the amazement of his colleagues pointed out that the bill did not reneal the present rate Of twelve cents a pound on packages.
 Under this,' said he. a man who goes to the postoff1ce with q fourteen ounce package with twelve cents post age will be told that the package needs fourteen cents. He can add two ounces to the package, making 1t weigh a pound. and send it for twelve cents. The bill so specifies and you can't get around it"
 The debate took a wide range and was participated in by Representatives Week. of Massachusetts, Mondell of Wyoming, Gregg of Pennsylvania, as well as Chairman Moon and Mir. MuP- dock

Crew Forced to
 Leave Steamer
FIRE FIGHTING ON ONTARIO
 TEMPORARILY CEASES.
DUE TO RISING SEAS
Msmber9 of Crew Taken to New Lon don-one Found to Be Missing May Flood Holds Today.

Mcntaulz Point, L. l., April 9l--Ris- ing seas forced the abandonment late tonight of the steamer Ontario, which was run ashore while on fire to save her passengers. Eight members of the crew took refuge on the revenue cutter Acushnet and the remainder were taken aboard the wrecking tug Tasco, for New London.
 Began to Touch Bottom.
 The Acushnet stood by until she began to touch bottom with every swell and then cast off Shortly after ward the Tasco and the lighter on which considerable of the cargo of the steamer had been placed, also pulled away, and the start was made at once for New London.
 May Flood Holds Today.
 The water which was poured into the hold of the steamer in @ steady sream all day long had little appar- ent effect on the fire. It Is probable that the wreckers will return to the vessel tomorrow, and they may be obliged to cut through the hull below the water line to flood the holds and eXtinguish the flames. This, it is be- lieved now, is the only way in which the complete destruction of the steam ee can be aVerted.
 One of Crew Missing.
 One member of the crew of the on- tario is missing, and it Is feared that he has been accidentally left aboard the burning steamer. The Ditch Plains life saving station has been notified and asked to send @ boat out to the vessel The discovery that all of the crew were not ao- counted for was made while the rev. enue cutter Acushnet and the tug Tasco were en route to New London. Word was at once gent by wireless to the life savers, and the Acushnet announced that as soon as she has landed those of the crew which she has on board at New London she will return to the Ontario.
 May Be a Total Loss.
 Tugs tonight were still pouring wa ter into the hold of the steamship, and simultaneously the lightering of her cargo, which took fire shortly before she was beached off here early Mon day morning, was progressing. There Is a chance that the vessel never will be saved.
 Sleeping at Nres London Hotels.
 New London, Conn, April 9.-When officers of the Ontario came to count the crew after the arrival of the Acushnet here they found one man missing out of the S7. The revenue cutter has left the harbor and will gO back to the wreck. Captain Bond does not think the sailor, whose name is moi known, is dead, but that he Is probably on one of the Scott companys wreck CTS.
 The members of the crew are sleep ing at local hotels ond will go tc Providence in the morning, where they will be paid off.

Fists Used In
 A Caucus Fight
TWO THoMPsoNVILLE REPUBLi-
 CANS GET STRENUOUS.
JUDGE MAKES TROUBLE
Attempted to Force His Way Into Hall Despite Checkers-Uproar Follows and Blows Are Struck.

Thompsonvilie, Conn. April e.-The republican caucus tonight was marked by the victory of Representative Thomas c. Alcorn over Judge L. w. Morrison for chairman of the town committee; @ fistic encounter in which the participants were MT. Alcorn and Town Clerk Hilditch, and the instruc- tion of the four delegates to the state convention to be held at New Haven for Taft.
 Trouble Was Expected.
 In view of the fact that Judge Mor- rison, Town Clerk Hilditch and other republicans had been stricken from the caucus roll for their alleged activities for the citizens party last fall, 1t was expected that there would be trouble at the caucus tonight, and Franklin hall was packed before the tlme came for the meeting to be called to order.
 Judge Starts an Uproar.
 Shortly after o'clock Judge Morri- sop and Town Clerk Hilditch appeared at the door, The checkers were sta toned outside the hall seated at ta- bles. When the names of Morrison and Hilditch were read the checkers re- fused to pass them. It is said that Judge Morrison then attempted to pass into the hall and that Chief of Police Bromage pushed him aside. In the meantime the crowd inside the hall surged to the door to see the trouble and the crowd from without also push ed forward, effectualIy blocking the passage and causing great uprosr.
 sloWs Finally Struck.
 Representative Alcorn, who was tenn porary chairman of the town commit tee, went to the door and tried to ex- Dostulate with Judge Morrison Words passed between them, Judge Morrison maintaining that the checking system was illegal. Mir. Alcorn was firm in refusing to admit the judge. Words also passed between MT. Hilditch and Mir. Alcorn, and soon blows were struck. Chief of Police Bromags finally separating them,
 Each BIan1ss the Other.
 MT. AIcorn says that Hilditch hit him first, and the latter claims that Alcorn was the aggressor. The {. lice had dif- fculty in clearing the hallway and there was more trouble between Chief Bromage and First Selectnan J. Fran cis Brown MT. Brown claims that he was acting as special officer and that the chief pushed him out of the hall
 Morrison Faction Beaten.
 GAAt4AJs 4AOWBFCi3 Lle QtsAA was CAeetA~ ed and quiet restored. MT. Alcorn called the meeting to order and called for nominations for moderator. The names of M. W. Bushnell and Attorney H. F. Fletcher were presented, MT. Bushnell winning by 29S to 16s. Mr. Fletcher was supposed to represent the so-called Morrison faction.
 Four Delegates for Taft.
 Ms. Bushnell called for nominations for town chairman, and Thomas G. Alcorn was unanimously elected, the test vote for moderator showing the sentiment to be against the o-caIled Morrison faction. The following were elected delegates to the state conVan- ton, instructed to work for the nomi- nation of President Taft: Representa- tive T. c. Alcorn, Representative George Simpson, Jr., W. B.
