Wilson had an executive session, last ing all morning, at which a working agreement was reached relative to the election of officers of the Charities department, which is scheduled to take. place this afternoon at o'clock.
 The meeting was held in Mir. Rich ardson's study, and the members of the board and Mayor Wilson refused to discuss in any way the possible action of the board, beyond admit ting that officers will be elected this afternoon.
 It is understood that one of the schemes discussed was the plan of combining the offices of superinten- dent and clerk of the Charities de. partment but this plan was quashed as impracticable. Clerk Dennis E.. tain of reelection.
 For the position of superintendent of outside poor to succeed Joseph V. Brennan, resigned, rumor runs equal ly between Thomas Hallen of this city, Republican party worker, and Fred c. Johnson of Kansas City, who recently came here and looked over the field at the request of the Rev. MT. RicharI Ison, with whom he is &C., quainted.
 Strong pressure is being brought to bear. it is said, on the Republican commissioners to prevent them from going outside.
 That changes in the medical staff are slated, is practically certain. Most of the present minor employees will be retained.

 ''Pinchot knows that January 2s ended his connection with my cardi- dacy and that it was 50 understood when ne left the headquarters after the conference on that day, that when five days later I had to yield for a few days rest and recuperation he seized upon that as his opportunity to make public the support which he had long been giving to Roosevelt's candidacy.

 Lincoln, April 8.-Denouncing Gif- ford Pinchot "and others" who pro- fessed to be his supporters and then deserted" him for the Roosevelt camp, Senator LaFollette, in tele- gram to Rudolph spreckles. in San Francisco, today, charged his former supporters with "Perversion of fact in trying to justify their desertion.''
 LaFOllette says: "The attempt of any of my former supporters to justi- fy their desertion of my candidacy by making Houser their scapegoat is cowardly perversion of fact. They know that no one had authority to withdraw me as candidate and that no one ever professed to have such authority or ever attempted to assert 1t. And they know, one and all, that persistently refused to withdraw in favor of Roosevelt or any one else and stated to them again and again that, entered upon the contest, would not back out.
 They furthermore knew that I would refuse to permit my candi- dacy to be coupled with Rooseve1t's candidacy or to combine with him in any way.
 'Pinchot and others, who professed to be my supporters but who in fact were supporters of Roosevelt, became very insistent just as soon as my candidacy began to show promising strength in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and elsewhere, that Roosevelt's name should be enjoined with mine in reSo- lutions of endorsement and that com binations should be made on dele gates by placing Roosevelts men on my tickets This was while Roosevelt was still protesting that he was not a candidate. I refused to consent to this and directed that my headquart- CTS in Washington, Ohio, Michigan and Illin ois. should be run strictly as LaFollette headquarters, saying to Pinchot and his friends that I would not play double game or be a stool pigeon for Roosevelt or any man.
 "Pinchot then called conferences of my supporters to meet at the head quarters in Washington and sought to force me into such a com bination. Failing in this. he called a final con-. ference at which time he and his as- ,sociates put UP to me the folls sins alternative:
 1" .I-That EaFollette should with draw in favor of Roosevelt with re- servations as to differences of opinion and continue to stump.
 "s2-That LaFollette should with draw but not in favor of anybody ano continue to stump-leaving the in- dividuals of the group to take what course they chose

Two Thousand Square Miles of Rich Farming Country Inundated With Loss of $10O00O 900 10000 Persons Made Homeless Fertile Land Covered With River Mud Will Be Useless for Years.

 Memphis, Tenn, April S-Two thou sand square miles of rich farming country flooded, loss to date over S10,- OOO,OO estimated 30 persons drowned and 10000 persons homeless. This was the net result, today, of the dis astrous flood which for nearly two weeks has swept the Mississippi val ley. The end is not, yet in sight as the river threatens to break through points.
 When this inland ocean of water recedes, the rich country which it now covers will be transformed from valuable farming land into merely thousands of acres of undiscovered "bottoms" which will be worthless for years to come.
 The water is pouring into Arkansas, today, from three big breaks in the leyees. Railroad traffic in the af> fected territory is paralyzed and tele> graph and telephone communication is badly hampered. Of the persons driven from their homes many have fled to towns less seriously affected than their own. Others have fled to

 The most dangerous point in the levee system, today, was at Golden Lake, Ark There nearly 1000 men worked feyerishly in an attempt to bolster up the levee.
 The flood, today, extends as far south as vicksburg, Miss. where the levee was being strengthened against threatened breaks. To the break at Hickman, Ky. have been added the two mammoth gaps rear Memphis, one below and one above the town. both on the Arkansas side. This may relieve The situation at Vicksburg.
 A fall of eight-tenths of a foot was registered here, today, and this in. dicates that the breaks probably will prevent further rise.
 Hundreds of head of livestock have been drowned and after the waters recede danger of epidemic will ensue

Memphis, Tenn. April S-Reports received this afternoon from through out the Mississippi valley indicate that conditions were improving and that the worst of the flood was probably past. The river is falling at all points, having gone down two feet at Memphis from the stage which re- suited in two breaks in the 1evees on the Arkansas side, Saturday. Hick- man, Ky, New Madrid, Cairo and all points report a slight fall.
 Washington, April 8.-The House. this afternoon, passed a measure pro- viding a $350,000 appropriation for the relief of the Mississippi river levees and along the tributaries of the Mississippi as we'll.

 Weather bureau officials throughout the flood district have wired Forecas- ter Hayes here that the breaks in the levees in Arkansas, near Memphis, probably mean that there will be no further rise in the river. It will re- main at it's present stage, however, for at least a week and it cannot be forecasted just when a general fall will set in

Large Party of Bridgeporters and New Haveners Guests
 of MT. and Mrs. POli

Not every little girl can celebrate her 9th birthday by laying the corner stone of a $250.000 theatre, but that was the way that Lillian Poli. the iit- tie daughter of MT. and Mrs. Sylvester C. Polls observed her natal anniver- sary today, officiating at o'clock when the big marble corner stone of the new $25O.oOo Poli play house was swung into place on the theatre site at Congress and Main streets.
 It was a regular flying squadron of automobiles that brought MT Poli. his family and some, of his New Ha- ven friends bright and early this af- ternoon for the event.
 The sky was bright and the air was full of snap and sparkle, colder than the average spring day but only enough so to make out-of-doors en- toyable.
 Promptly at three o'clock the party including Mayor and Mrs. Rhce of New Haven, Mayor Wilson of this city and a number of city officials, personal friends of MT. Poli and news papermen repaired to the site of the new theatre where the corner stone had been swung up in readiness for the ceremony of placing it in posi- tion.
 Clippings of all the Bridgeport pa perS, describing the brea king of ground for the theatre, and other matters in connection with this $250.000 enter prise, were enclosed in an air tight metal -9ox, together with coins, ard a few small articles for stgood luck, were enclosed in the corner stone be- fore it was swung into position.
 With handsome trowel of solid silver, especially made at one of the Meriden silver factories, Miss Lillian laid the mortar for the massive mar ble corner stone which was then swung into place, and the building of the theatre was officially begun
 The party then repaired to the 45. MT. Poli presided as toastmaster following a very enjoyable repAst, dur ing which the guests drank toasts to the success Of MT. Poli and his many enterprises
 The new Bridgeport theatre, which will be the finest between New York and Boston, will be known as the Poh Temple, and is the first of MT. Polls pla yhouses to be 'tchristened" by a member of his own family, a. custom which he intends to follow hence forth.
 While the construction of the Bridgeport theatre is under way, in for the opening next Sep tember, another big acquisition by MT. Poli is being prepared for the opening, next Monday. That is the handsome Chase theatre Of Washington, one of the finest in the national capital, and long rated as one of the big vaudeville houses of America. Mr. Poli acquir- ed this some weeks ago and is opening with high class stock for the summer season.
