Hundreds of Refugees.

Tiptonville, Tenn, April 6-,Iun7
dreds of refugees from the flooded
Reel Foot lake territory have gather
ed at Ridgley, where there is nigh
ground. Practically all the livestock
on the lowiands Of Lake county has
drowned, and tits reported two chill
dren of refugees lost their lives rs
they fled last night. When the leyee
near Hickman, KY, broke yesterday
afternoon, letting the flood waters Of
the Mississippi into the Reel. Foot
lake country, the warning was flash
ed by telephone and, where wi4ee did
not reach, couriers were dispatched.
Because of the break in the letee
at Hickman, the Mississippi here is
not rising this morning, the flood
waters running through the lake coun-
try east of here. Now it is feared
there may be a break in the Mississip-
pi levee on the state line. If this oc-
ours, water will rush through the
northwestern counties from two
sources.
Five hundred persons from the
northwest counties of Tennessee,
made homeless by the flood, are
seeking shelter here. Refugees ar
rived here in boats, riding the crest
of the flood wave. Reports that
there will be big death list in the
Reel Foot territory are not credited
here. While many persons have been
marooned on housetops, on anchored
RATS and possibly in tree tops, 1t is
thought they will be rescued.
There are 400 refugees at Ridgeley,
eight miles south of here. Shelter has
been provided for the homeless IN
both towns. There probably will be
shortage of food, however. and the
supply of bed clothing is short. An
appeal has been sent to Governor
Hooper asking that the state heln
feed the refugees and that supplies
be sent to the highlands where hun
dreds of cattle were driven before
the Hickman leree broke.
The gradual spread of the water in
Lake county is seen in a recorued rise
of not more than four inches in the
Reel Foot lake last night at Tipto
vile. The highest polnr, it is ex
pected, will be reached today. All Of
Dyer county between Lake and Dyer
Tenn, is submerged but the people
escaped. most of them. it is said, with
their livestock Three villages II
Lake county are entirely under water
and have been deserted by their in
habitants. They are Hathaway, Rec
Foot and Bessie.

situation is desperate. but still we
are hopeful"

This is the Mississippi river flood

Arkansas, that stretch of levee bear
ing the abrunt of the battle with the
waterway today Except for the Rec
Foot embankment, which went ous
late Yesterday, all main levees are
holding this morning, but each hour
the situation grows more critical. The
river is rising faster than the super
ficial earthworks can be constructed.
Golden Lake, fifty miles north OF
Memphis; Pecan Point, in the same
vicinity; Lambethville. Mound City,
Hollybush, Ark, and the White river
front are regarded as points in imne-
date peril.
At Memphis the stage this morning
was 44.9 feet. a rise of three-tenths
during the preceding twelve hours
Dispatches from Hickman. KY, tell
of the widening of the breach in the
Reel Foot levees five miles west Of
that city. Early today the gap was
about 200 yards wide. A mighty wal
of water is sweeping all before it IN
its race through Fulton county, Ken
tuclxy. and Lake county. Tennessee
Reel Foot lake, into which the flood
is pouring, is going over its banks
into Obion county. and in turn the
obion river is taking up the over
flow and carrying it back to the Mis-
sissippi. While the break will relieve
the situation north Of Hickman t'
some extent It will not have an ap
preciable effect to the south.
In the flooded sections OF Norti

Jimenez, April 6.-Concentration OF
rebel forces here and south along the
route to Torreon is the next point in
the program of General Orozco, but
it is not improbable hat mother bat
tie will have to be fought ii tie neigh neigh
borhood of Escalon.
Unofficially it is reported that the
government troops are preparing an
other expedition into rebel. territory
from Torreon, where there are said
to be some 1900 federals and approx
mately the same number of volun-
teers.
The advance guard is said to be at
Zavulza. Unless an unexpected clash
with federals alters his plans, Orozco
probably will hold Jimenez as gen
eral base of operations against Tor
reon for some time, since between
here and there, there are not suit
able places, the region below Escalon
being little better than a desert
General Salazar will be occupied for
few days in his chase of Colonel vii
la, who fled from Parral towards Ro
sario. Villa, however. is no longer
feared since it is known that he had
such small body of troops. Thomas
Urbina formerly with him. is believ
ed to have united with General Trucy
Eubert. Railway traffic with Parral
will begin tonight.

HAVE BEEN HEAVY.
DANGER ZONE MOVES south
REFUGEES ARE BEING CARED FOR
IN VARIOUS CITIES: WORST
is TO COME.

The danger zone in the Mississippi
flood district moved southTard t, day
but keenest attention was directed
toward the Reel Foot AXE country in
Tennessee, which was 'nnni2tcd last
night when the levee at Hickman,
KY, was preached Greatest anxiety
centered in the question of life loss
In the five hundred square miles CT
inundated country in northwest Ten
nessee, hundreds of persons were fore
ed to flee before the floods rush and
two children are said to have been
drowned in Lake county. Advices re-
ceived from several points in the af-
flicted district indicate that practical
ly all the farmers and villagers es-
capped
Two thousand Reel Foot reldgees
are at Tiptonville and Ridg.ey. They
have been provided with shelter and
the state has been asked to send them
food and clothing. Rescue parties
have set out in boats to bring in per-
sons who are marooned on house tops
and RATS.
Tho greatest pecuniary loss has
been sustained in the drowning Of
cattle. Many farm houses are under
water but the loss from this source
will not mount high. There were no
crops in the fields and planting had
not been begun. The situation in
the lower Mississippi valley continues
serious. The flood strain was reliev-
ed somewhat by the levee's break at
Hickman but much of the water now
flooding the Reel Foot country event
ually will get back into the river.

Resculna People from Housetops.
Hickman. KY, April GA rescuing
party Of twenty men with twelve
boats departed today on relief train
to take off many persons said to be
marooned on housetops, moored RATS
and tree tops in the Reel Foot sec
tion. No definite news of loss of life
has been received. The water covers
country ten miles wide and fifty
miles long. This greatly will be in
creased. It is believed, within twenty
four hours.
Flood refugees in this town had
cause for cheer last night when the
outside world began to respond to
appeals for help. One check for
$1,000 came from Louisville; May
field sent several carloads Of bed
ding and clothing and three wagon
loads of provisions and bedding were
received from Fulton, two more from
Union City and one from Woodland
Mills.
Tents have been stretched on the
grounds of the Carnegie library and
in open fields in the southern part
of the city for the white people, and
the negroes are quartered in another
tent settlement in the eastern out
skirts. Refugees range in ages from
a few weeks to so years. Health
are uniformly good.
Two of the latest acquisitions TO
the refugee camp are a mother and
child rescued yesterday from a log

state next Tuesday. Besides the
two candidates who are travelling in
special trains and making rear plat
form speeches. men of national repu-
tation are scheduled to address meet
ings in almost every city of the state.
Governor woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey started early in a special train
from Peoria and before the day is
over expects to deliver dozen
speeches at different points, winding
up in Chicago.
Former President Roosevelt entered
the state early from the east and at
once took special train which is to

those who are to advocate the presi-
dents cause are Secretary Of Agri-

uties and police were sworn in today
by the authorities in the mining COM
munities of Boomer, Cannelton and
Marting because of the imlninence
of race riots between American and

PASSED.

Santa Fe N. NJ, April 6.-The ef-
forts of Senator A. B. Fall to secure
a. reelection by the present legisla-
ture before it's adjournment will be
assisted by the leaders of the repuh-
lican party in New Mexico This was
decided at meeting of the party
leaders held last night, which was
attended by numerous members oil
the legislature. After long discus
sion, which was entirely friendly, IL
was decided to force the reelection
of Mr.. Fall at once. Mr. Fall will
return from Washington in short
time to take an active part in the
campaign for his reelection.
Presumably this plan will be fought
most bitterly by Holm o. Bursum, de-
feated candidate for governor, who
was the moving spirit in the An
drews campaign for senatorial hon
ors. National Committeeman Solo
mon Luna, one of the foremost party
leaders, will, 1t is understood, go to
Bursum with the ultimatum that If
he opposes the reelection of Fall he
will be aligning himself against the
wishes Of the higher counsellors of
his party. 1t is presumed this gentle
hint will prove effective and An
drews will be minus one of his stanch
supporters.
The Andrews contingent, it is un-
desstood, will endeayor strenuously
to introduce and cause to be passed {
preferential primary law to which
will be attached the emergency
clause. This will permit the holding
of the first primary in May. Andrews
hopes to be able to secure a victory
at such primary election. Just why
he believes the public will be strong
for him is not known.
The senatorial situation is tense
and there is a general feeling that
when the legislature gets down to
business once more early next week
there will be something doing every
minute. That Andrews will not give
in without hard fight is conceded
The. former supporters of Governor
Mills, who withdrew from the sena-
torial race for the good of the party
will line up for Fall. giving him a
large vote at the beginning of his
battle for reelection. There is still
a rtlmor afloat that some native re-
publican legislators will unite with
democrats and progressive republi
cans in selecting a senator. This
rumor, however, is not being given
great credence.
The house committee on judiciary
today decided to report favorably the
adoption of the Texas law governing
the practice of medicine. This law
allows any person who can pass GER
tain fundamental examinations to
practice medicine and surgery. It
requires practicing physicians to use
all means at their disposal for the
protection Of the public health. The
committee decided upon its report
,ftar a hearing at which II was ad.
dressed by allopaths, osteopaths and
Christian Scientists. The latter two
were opposed to the original bill in
troduced in the house.
Senator Clark of San Miguel coun
ty today introduced bill regulating
the care of public funds. The BIZ
requires public officials to keep
cash book and records of all finan
cial transactions.
