RIVER FLOOD FIGHTERS
ARE HOLDING THEIR own
End of the Mississippi Crisis
Believed to Be Near-Dan-
ger Points.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 12.-The little
armies of flood fighters are holding their
own all along the upper stretches of the
Mississippi river today. At Luxoro.
Marked Tree and Osceola Ark, the situa-
ton is still critical.
Breaks may occur, but the flood is
gradually receding, and the end of the
crisis is in sight. A fast boat with a
cargo of provisions for the villagers was
started from Memphis this morning. The
river here continues to fall slowly. The
gauge reading at o'clock this morning
showed a stage of 42.5. a fall of one
tenth since o'clock last night.
Helena Center of Interest.
In the Memphis district, Helena, Ark.
is becoming the center of interest. Water
from three breaks is making it's way back
into the Mississippi river through the st.
Francis river, which empties into the
Mississippi just above that city. However,
the levee at Helena is unusually strong,
and it Is generally believed it Will With
stand the pressure. So
kilograms to United States Senator
Clarke of Arkansas were forwarded to-
day by the ST. Francis levee board, ask
ing him to take up with the federal
authorities the question of distributing
corn and cotton seed for spring plant
ing. "A
water Falling at ee,ro.'
!, CAIRO, III. April 12..Th& Ohio river
fell one-tenth of a foot during the
night, and today the gauge registered
'53.6 feet. Women and children who
were sent from the city when the river
rose above the level of the city have
begun to return despite the fact that
the water outside the levees is still
ten feet above the level of the city.
The only way to get into the city is
by boat.

that she had attributed this treat

do so now. She also said that her
mother had held the banker respon-

to an attache of the Japanese embassy,
but that their view had changed since

Miss Gage was required to detail the
business affairs OF her mother. She

Registration Is required only in

important bearing on the method of
protecting the rights of colored vot-

BOuSCaren Tells How a Fair
Election Can Be Held Here

MlSKOGEE, Okla, oct 27,-Edl-
tor World am not writing this
letter In any official capacity, bat
merely as a Republican voter .of
Tulsa county
You VIII appreciate after what
happened In the colorod wards at tho
municipal election in Tulsa last
spring that "A large element in the
election Of the Democratic candidates
was the successful disqualification OF
yearly all the colored voters of the
city This was done In open defiance
OF the rights Of the said voters as
citizens, in violation Of the fifteenth
amendment to the federal constltu-
tion, and even in violation Of the
grandfather clause of the state
constitution Of oklahoma, which, az
interrupted by the state supreme court
requires all voters TO be given a fair
test and a free opportunity to show
their qualifications and requires elec-
ton officers TO pass on the qualifica-
tions Of elections in a reasonable and
just manner.
A repetition Of such lawless con
duct on the part Of Democratic clec,
ton officers at the coming election
would gravely endanger the success
Of the Republican county officers,
and should by no means be tolerated.
] call your attention to the provisions
Of article VIII, chapter 81, Session
Laws of Oklahoma. 1907-s, which Is
still the law of the state as to regis
tration and voting (EX parte show,
Okla Grim Rep 4l6.)
This law provides tSection p for
registration In July preceding each
biennial primary election in August.
1t further provides (Soctlon 2O
for registration during the last week
In October preceding general cleo
ton in November; and provides fur
ther (Sectlon II that voter cannot

l6) that registration certificate. If

and (SectiOn 1S) that a REGISTRATION

upon any one for the purpose of tak-
ing up time, nor for any other reas-
on than to ascertain In good faith
the qualifications Of the elector; and
where the test is imposed 1t must De
done in a fair and reasonable man
ner.
In connection with the last clause
the Supreme Court of Oklahoma
said in the case of EXParte Show
Okla. Criminal Reports page 416:
III the election officers know that
such person possesses the requisite
qualifications, !. O., can read and
write any section of the State con-
stitution) they need not apply any
test. If they are satisfied from tho
persons affidavit that he can read
and write any section of the consi-
tuition they may act upon that ana
permit him to vote: If they are not
satisfied therefrom they may Jaw
fully apply the ultimate test of re-
quiring such person In their pres
ence to read and write section of
length. Beyond this they cannot go.
And if they apply the test it is their
duty in good faith to give the person
an opportunity of fulfilling Il and
when he has fulfilled the require
ment to permit him TO vote"
1t is apparent not only fnOm this
language but from considerations of
common political honesty that neith-
er the federal government nor even
the state will protect election officers
who under pretense Of law commit
such outragos as have been common
throughout the state since the adop-
ton of the grandfather clause. This
should be well borne in mind by
those having anything to do with the
coming election. | believe that more
general knowledge of these provis-
ions would have two salutary re-
suits. 1t would make the election
officers more careful not TO Law them

ticn; and it woull give Republican
watchers more readiness and back.

ICE CONDITIONS.
Reported Over Thirteen Inches il
Thickness in Rhode and South
River.

The conditions Of the ice embargo
in the rivers below Annapolis are very
serious and have shut out all the IN
habitants Of these sections from the
outside world. In South and Rhode
Rivers the ice is reported over thir-
teen inches in thickness, and tongers
have cut holes through the ice on these
rivers and are taking up a few oys-
ters and selling them in the neighbor-
hood.
A gentleman from Rhode River to-
day said he had never experienced
such a winter in forty years, and he
never knew of so much suffering
from the poor who depend upon
the oyster trade for a living. He
said there had not been a steamer in
either river since January, and it
would be until April before the rivers
would be navigable. unless there
should come an unusual warm spell.
Judge Tydings, of the Orphans'
Court. said today that ice was packed
up on the bay from ten to twelve feet
high, and no steamers were plying up
and down the bay for several days.
He did not remember when there
was such a general blockade of the bay
with ice before as to impede all navi-
cation

OPENS TONIGHT.
Firemen's Bazaar at the City Assembly
Rooms To be a Great Event.

Arrangements are all fully COM
pleted for the Firemen's Bazaar to be
held tonight at the City Assembly
Rooms, on Duke of Gloucester sstreet.
The ladies in charge have been in
defatigable in their efforts to make
the bazar the big event it promises to
be. The room is beautifully deco
rated. The unsightly side walls are
entirely covered with bunting, and
this adds warmth as well as adds to
the general appearance. AttractiyeIy
decorated tables are spread about
the room and from these supper will
be served for 20 cents.
Booths of various colors and design
are arranged on either side of the
hall The cake booth is especially
pretty. The booth for chances is in
green and white, and the candy booth
is novel in design and construction
Amid hanging grass and seaweed un-
der an arch of green, stands the
Jacobs Well, where Rebekah will sell
delicious lemonade. Then, there is
the fish pond, another attractive nook,
and the ice cream booth which looks
shivery, but will be inviting to "tip
of" good supper.
A special ante-room has been pro-
vided for the smokers, and there is a
Turkish booth with its tapestries.
Oriental hangings, red lights and its
seductively inviting and cozy sur
roundings. The bazar is for the bene-
fit of the new automobile fire engine,
which is now on its way here, and on
which a sum of over thousand dol
lars is still due.
Everybody should take supper at
the Firemen's bazar and help to make
it success. The bazar opens to-
night and will close Friday night
At the opening of the bazar to-
night Chief Porter will have the fire
bell ring for a few minutes from 6
o'clock until 6 Is.

SOCIAL SERVICE COMMITTEE.
Recommends Certain Bill and Makes
Suggestion.

At recent meeting of the Social
Service Committee, of which Rev.
James L. Smiley is secretary, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Diocese of Maryland, held in Balti-
more, the secretary was instructed to
write to the chairman of the House
Committee on Education urging the
approval of House Bill No. SO, which
provides for Statewide compulsory
education.
Also, to write to the House Com
mittee on Labor, urging the approval
of House Bill No. rs. which provides
for a maximum day of ten hours for
working women. The further recon-
mendation was made that as substi-
tute for the several bills offered pro-
viding for Workingmen's Compensa-
tion, the National Employees Liza
bility Law be enacted as a State law
(mutatis mutaendis) since the United
States Supreme Court has recently
passed upon its constitutonality.
