New Orleans. La., May 1O-Water from the Torras crevasse rose rapidly in the environs of New Roads, La. during the night and the government rescue forces in a fleet of motor boats. launches and barges assembled south of the town today. ready to remove the inhabitants who may have to flee.
 It is hoped the waters will not come with rush, as the population in the New Roads district is estimated at twenty thousand and it would be diff ficult to rescue all of the inhabit- ants.
 Wires to Torras are down today. but reports from persons who last saw the crevasse there state that 1t is a mile wide and one of the worst that has ever occurred along the Mississippi. The current of the river is said to have turned into the break and the inundatiOn cf a. rich section of Ayoy- eiles Parish was extremely rapid.

 VERY SCARCE
 IN CHICAGO

Chicago, May 10.-Despite the ef.. forts of the association publishers to get their editions published and dis tributed, Chicago today was still un- able to get papers except in few places in the loop district and in number of residence sections. On the papers against which five unions are striking, editors, sub-editors, business officers and circulation department men are working in press rooms and stereotype departments in the places of the strikers.
 International President Freel of the Stereotypers Union has revoked the charter of the local Stereotypers Un- ion because of it's refusal to call off the strike.
 It was learned today that on one of the large dailies, twenty-five stereo- typers went back to work following Freers order. Their first duty they were told, was to instruct two negro helpers in some of the tricks of stereo- typing. The men donned their coats and walked out again.
 The Typographical Union will vote Sunday on whether the printers shall join the strike movement Upon their decision depends the action of the who say they will not walk out unless the printers do.

Dr, Deane To Be Reelected
 Superintendent

Dr. Charles w. Deane, superinten- dent of the public schools will be re- elected to that office for a three year term at the meeting of the board of Education Monday night, it being cus- tomary to elect every three years at the May meeting Dr. Deane has been superintendent of the schools in Bridgeport many years. His re-elec- tion will be unanimous.
 Aside from this matter the board will have few special items of busi- ness before it. There still exists a vacancy in the vice president office, made by the death of Thomas Hood Macdonald but election to this office will not be made until after the re- turn of William R. Webster who is in Germany Since the president of the board, William Lieberum is a Democrat the Republican half of the board has the selection of who shall be vice president.
 Col. Elmer H. Ravens has been thought of in this connection but his election as vice president would mean a vacancy in the secretaryship and there is some question as to whether the Republican members will decide upon him. No one else has been men, tioned for the place.
 Some of the committees assigned to the task of starting building opera tions on the new schools which were decided upon at the last meeting will make reports and the litigation over the new High school site will prob> ably be reported on.

Asks For Law
 To Destroy The
 ''Patent Monopoly"

Washington. May 1O.-Passage of a law authorizing appointment of a commission to study the patent laws and recommend amendments so as to Obviate the patent monopoly" grant ed by . recent Supreme Court decision and to rehabilitate the statues in gen. eral, was asked of Congress in a spe- cial message from President Taft to- day.
 The President pointed out that number e trade monopolies have been made possible by the courts de- -cigion in the Dick Mimeograph case, particularly through the buying up of various patents. He suggested that often corporations purchased patents simply to suppress them. Detailing legislation in other nations, the Presi- a patent owner should manufacture e the invention he held within a cer- tain period, or forfeit his rights.
 Tt is worthy of careful considera- tion," he said whether or not legis- lation on some such lines should be enacted to prevent our patent laws from being made the basis of unjust itimate protection to inventors re- Quired to promote science and the use- full arts. or the means of stifling inn provement and progress of the arts.''
 Taft emphasized the need of leg islation enabling an inventor to ob. tain a patent more speedily than is now possible. He also said that at variance with present court decisions, a United States patent should be held should be put on the infringer to prove the invalidity of the patent in- stead of on the inventor to defend it's validity.

Minneapolis, Minn.. May 10.-A plan to reduce the size of the General Conference was the special order to- day at the Methodists gathering. The present basis of representation is one ministerial and one lay delegate to each 45 members of the annual con- ference sending them.
 Another development of today was a renewal of the movement of color ed delegates to secure a bishop of their own race. The plan has twice been rejected, but the negroes decline to believe that there is any chance of trouble through having colored bish- ops preside over white conferences.
 Three new candidates for the Epis- copacy entered the field today. They are pr. H. c. Jennings, head of the Methodist book concern, at Cincin- natl; pr. J. B. Hingley, secretary of the General Conference, and Andrew Gillies, a Minneapolis pastor.
