STATE CAPITAL
Of LOUISIANA
NOW IN DANGER
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF STATE
USES SHOVEL TRYING TO
SAVE BIG LEVEEs.
Mad Waters seep Through Great
Dykes Despite Work of Thousands
Of Volunteer Laborers Under Gov
ernor Sanders.

Baton Rouge, La, May 3.-At 1
O'Clock this afternoon muddy water
began to come through the base Of
the front levee at Main street, where
a force of hundreds of volunteer cit
liens are working side by side with
state convicts in a desperate effort
to hold back the flood waters of the
Mississippi until the protection levee
at the south side of the toyn can be
completed.
Governor Sanders is on the levee
personally directing the work, which
means so much to a vast territory on
the east side of the Mississippi river.
At noon two hundred additional
state convicts were brought in from
Oakley and put to work ON the pro-
lection levee south of the city, which
must be completed before the ex-
pected break in the levee comes, else
the food will be turned loose to it's
work of destruction and devastation
in four parishes on the east side as
far down almost as New Orleans.
Mud boxes are being placed around
the waterworks plant, and sewerage
pumping station, which are under
the hill and would be put out of COM
mission should the levee give way
before this emergency work is COM
pleted,

WILL LOOK INTO
OUR MILK SUPPLY
THIS TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS TO BE TAKEN UP BY
NEW HEALTH OFFICER.

DR.. T. A. Mann, the new city
physician and health officer, who
assumed the duties of the office a
few weeks ago, is now getting the
health conditions of the city in good
shape. The physician, during the time
he has been in the city, has devoted
his attention to the general situation,
in order to ascertain just where work
was needed for an improvement in
the health condition. 1t was his in
tention to first locate the trouble. If
any, and then to remedy it. The
physician is free to admit that Bruins.
wick is very healthy city and that
the condition at present is excel
lent.
One of the first matters, however,
wlich will receive the attention of
the health department under DR.. Mann
VIII be the milk question. While the
physician is not yet in position to
state whether or not anything but
pure milk is being served to the peo-
pie OF the city, at the same time he
believes that there should be a milk
inspection of some kind and it Is his
intention to establish a method where.
by the dairies can be inspected reg
ularly, assuring the people of the city
pure milk at all times. DR.. Mann
considers the milk question one OF
the most important in connection
with the health conditions of any city.
The new health officer has estab-
lished offices in the high school build
ing on Mansfield street, where he will
be found every day. He will be glad
to hear from people of the city gem
orally on matters relating to the
health and sanitary conditions of the
city, and all complaints in this re-
spect should be made to him.
DR.. Mann is evincing much inter
est in his work, is receiving the CO.
operation of the board of health ano
the people of the city generally, and
much good will no doubt be accom-
plished by him.

TEDDY IS AFTER
MARYLAND VOTES
FORMER PRESIDENT DECLARES
HE is FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE
AGAINST RossIsM,

Salisbury, Nd, May 3.-ColoreI
Roosevelt carried his fight for thI
presidential nomination into Mary
land today, beginning his campaign
at Salisbury.
In his speech here, Col. R)o ;sveit
said he felt he had the right to conre
to this part of the country to make
his appeal as he believed the pres
ent contest to be greater than mere
party struggle, and that it wd3 one
in which he was entitled to the sup
port of the men of all parties. He
repeated his statement that the pres
ent campaign was a straight line
up" between the political bossts and
the people.
Colonel Roosevelt's private car was
detached from the train which was
brought from New York on it's spe-
cial train for the remainder CT the
days tour which yill take him thru
eastern Maryland to Wilmington, Del.
From Wilmington he was to go to
Havre de Grace for a speech and
thence to Baltimore to make an ad-
dress tonight. The colonel is to re-
main over night in Baltimore.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced in his ad-
dress here that he did not intend to
have his opponents gain votes in the
Maryland primaries Monday by cor
rupt methods. The colonel then ad-
dressed the negro voters, saying: II
ask every decent colored man in the
state to see to it that no colored man
sells his vote in this primary. I'm
scrupulous white men are willing to
debauch the colored man, taking ad-
vantage of his needs. The colored
man who sells his vote is doing i'm
measurable harm to his own race"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared the only
"class hatred he preached was aimed
at the class of crooks"

the west side of the Mississippi river,
five miles north of Morganza, broke
this afternoon shortly after / O'Clock,
according to a message received here
from the latter place.
No fatalities have been reported as

that eight persons were. drowned
when the levee gave way.
This levee is in Points Coupee
parish, about thirty miles north of
Baton Rouge. A permanent crevasse
here will complete the overflow of
practically all of the rich farming
lands from that point to the Gulf of
Mexico, covering parts of eight par
ishes.

water having buried the cross -AIm
on wEhh the telegraph wires wers
strung There is bit one telephone
wire working to that place, and it is
difficult to communicate with any
one over this.
Special trains were run between
this place to a point near Torras last
night to bring out refugees.
Relief trains were also operated as
far as Bachelor until the tracks at
Lettsworth were submerged. Hun
dreds of persons forced from their
homes by the water were picked up
at all stations along the line and
brought to New Roads. Many re-
fused to leave their homes, preferring
to take their chances with the turbu-
lent waters.
In every direction farmers could
be seen from the train herding their
livestock and driving them to the lev
ees. Thousands of head of cattle have
been moved out of the flooded area,
the railroads having, as a precaution-
ary measure, placed stock cars on all
sidings at stations along their lines.
Appeals for motor boats to be used
in rescue work continues to be sent
out from Torras, one having been
received here last night, saying un-
less more boats were received there
Immediately there would be loss of life
back in the country where rescue
expeditions had not yet reported.
No loss of life has been reported
from any point in the newly flooded
areas, but many stories of thrilling
escapes are continuously coming in.
Several negro cabins directly in front
of the crevasse were picked up and
dashed to pieces by the wall of water
only few minutes after their occu-
pants had made their escape.
Appeals for help reached here last
night from Naples, a town of 500 in
habitants at the junction OF the Red
and Atchafalaya rivers. Federal sup
plies were soon on the way to the
people there, who have so far refused
to leave their inundated homes. The
family of A. B. Carruth 1T Naples, had
a narrow escape from being drowned
when their home was dislodged by
the food. They succeeded In taking
refugee on a barge which has been
to their house.

Bayou Sara Levee Rreaks.

Baton Rouge, May 3.-The Missis.
sippi river protection levee in front
of Bayou Sara, La, broke at noon to-
day, according to reports here, anu
there is no chance to save the small
town.
Day dawned with a desperate stu
alton facing the people on the west
side of the Mississippi river south of
Torras and at Baton Rouge, where
the levee in front Of the city is ex-
pected to give way at any minute.
A steady rainfall this morning add
ed further to the already critical
condition of the levees, and other
crevasses on the west side of the
river would cause little surprise to
the engineers. Federal and state,
who are working Sc va!iantly to pro-
tect the remaining stretches.
The waters from the Torras crew
asse are rapidly spreading over the
rich sugar and rice plantations of
Points Coupee parish, inundating the
ing thousands of acres of fine lands
and making hundreds homeless every.
few hours.
This morning the water was report
ed eight to ten feet deep on the states
big convict farm at Angola and the
states half million dollar sugar re-
fnery is flooded.
Many refugees arrived in Baton
Rouge this morning from the flooded
territory across the river, bringing
with them what of their cattle they
could get out of the fields and woods
before the water reached them. About
one hundred other refugees from
the flooded territory reached New
Roads today. All told stories of suf-
fering and in many instances thrilling
escapes from death, but thus far there
has been L. report of loss Of human
life. The refugees are being cared
for by the United States gove-l nent
relief corps fere.

lifeboats were lowered except the
collapsibles, concerning all of which
there was no accurate evidence; bur
most of the boats did not have a full
complement of persons. But for the
wireless equipment Of the vessel, 1t
was doubtful If anyone or many would
have been saved.
Lord Mersey wished to know 20
how many officers warnings of the
ice had been communicated. Sir Ru-
fus could not answer more definitely
than probably the chief and first OFF,
GERS.
Lord Mersey also wished to know
whether the vessels Of other nation
alties were compelled TO carry more
lifeboats than British ships. Sir Ru-
fus could not say positively as to
this, but said that evidence on the
point would be offered.
