RELIEF FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
Appropriations Committee Vote Near
ly 100000 More for Sufferers in
Mississippi Valley.


Washington, May 1.-Nearly $780,
600 more for the relief Of Mississippi
sufferers was voted By the house COM
niittee on appropriations today. For
quartermasters supplies, such as tents,
etc. the committee provides $277,179
The commissary department supply
ing the destitute with food will re-
ceive $4,000.
Four more army officers were today
dispatched to superintend relief work
along the Mississippi. Two go from
indianapolis to Vicksburg, one goes
from Fort Oglethorpe. Ga, to the
same place. and another goes from
Leavenworth, Kas., to Monroe, La.
The possibility that the new flood
now rising will draw heavily upon the
army's ration3 has caused Secretary
StmSon to caution officers in charge
of relief work to refuse army aid to
any who are in position to supply
themselves.

Break Comes on West Side When

May Add Great Damage to Heavy

New Orleans. May 1.-Another Sc
rious break occurred late this after
noon in the Mississippi levee at Tor
ras, La, on the west side Of the swol-
len stream, where the food waters
from the disastrous Dogtail crevasse
find re-entry into the big river. The
break at Torras occurred at $50 and

chief Of the United States engineers,
and an effort is being made to check
the crevasse by "cribbing' the ends.
Unless the Torras crevasse can be
closed, which appeared doubtful to-
night, great damage will be added
to the already heavy tolls in prop
erty destruction and devastation Of
farms wrought by the food waters Of
the lower Mississippi river during the
last six weeks. A permanent crevasse
at Torras means the inundaticn Of the
vast sugar cane lands along the west
banks of the river for distance Of
perhaps 60 miles.
The territory which lies in the path
Of the Torras crevasse is vastly richer
than the several millions Of acres
which were inundated by the Dogtail
crevasse of three weeks ago, near
Alsatia. La. and is more densely pop
ulated.
While the Torras break will give
some relief from the enormous pres
sure against the levees south Of that
point the flood waters tonight are
from half a foot to two feet above
the previous high record marks from
Baton Rouge south, and prospects Of
other crevasses are extremely grave.
Reports today from the territory in
northeast Louisiana, which was mood
ed by the Dogtail crevasse added sew
eral thousand victims to the homeless
list.
Several hundred more in West Fell
ciana parish were reported in need OF
supplies. and from the Atchafalaya
and Bayou Des Galise territory re-
ports were received of still other hun
dreds Of poor people who have been
driven from their homes.
1t Is estimated that the United
States government is now furnishing
food for 10000 homeless people in
Louisiana and Mississippi. and tonight
the prospects are that this number
will be increased by $4,000 within an
other week.
The federal engineers have already
expended more than 100000 in the
past three weeks in their efforts to
save the levees from Vicksburg south.
but the responsibilities came to them
too late in many instances, and the
height and force Of the flood waters
have far exceeded the expectations Of
every one. The engineers are con-
tinuing 10 spend thousands Of dollars

breaks, but where the fight is hardest
they say they are experiencing great
difficulty in securing labor. In some
