C0lquitt's Court Reform.

1t is well known that Judge
Ramsey advocates a thorough
revision Of our system of court
procedure, because it abounds
in bunglesome eXcres Genes,
harmful technicalitieS and furn-
ishes countless avenues for the
defeat of justice. Colquitt's
idea of reform in the courts is to
remember the celebration of
Mexican Independence Day by
liberating % hot tamale crimi-
nails, and again remembering the
Niger Emancipation Day by
pardoning twelve Niger crimi-
nails on June 10Th, both of these
acts bidding for the lowest or
der Of votes ever known in civil
lied governments and at the same
time by the same method undo
ing the proceedings Of the courts
as we now haze them by pardon
ing Unfortunately over 300
convicts, eytry one Of whom had
been declared guilty and as
signed to servitude in the peni-
tertiary for term commensur-
tie with the law and evidence,
neither of which Colquitt knew
anything about. Whose court
reforms would you prefer?

 Little Rock. - Governor Donaghey dictated the following statment to press representatives:
 After receiving from various sources information of the flood con dltlons In eastern Arkansas I sent the following telegram to the quartermas- ter general at Washington:
 Am informed that the floods caus- ed by collapse of levees on the Mis- sisslppi river front have submerged large areas in eastern Arkansas, and are causing great suffering and hunger among the people of several counties. In behalf of these distressed people appeal to you for such assistance as you may be able to give under re- cent instructions by the president of the United States
 George w. Donaghey,
 Governor
 Until now I had refrained from ask ing aid outside of the state for the flood sufferers, because the levees along the Mississippi front had not yet collapsed. Now, however, I am advised that in several places they have been swept away, and that not only will great loss of property result, but that many human lives are i'm. periled.
 Besides this, the pain and hunger Tn thOCa who nanohf haIn1oco n flooded districts promises to be very great. Added to the sea of ice water out of the Mississippi river, which covers the land, is the cold rain now falling; these two conditions will in- crease the distster and distress.
 'The flooded area of the state GOV. CTS the largeg portion of l2 counties, and in this district is included terri tory belonging to several other coun- ties. The counties most hesiously af- fected. it appears, are: Craighead, Mississippi, Cross, Poinsett, Critten- den. St. Francis, Lee, Monroe. Phillips, Desha, Chicot and Ashley.
 "The flood-affected district contains 3 population approximating 100000. large majority of these people be- long to classes In humble means they have not been able to put aside savings of any account; they are in many instances scantily clothed and without food. In view of this fact, and also because the character of the emergency Is too urgent for the call ing of special session of the legisla- ture, I have appealed to the federal government for aid.'

NEW LEVEE BREAK

County Inundated of Humans and Live St0ck---No Loss

SEVERAL TOWNS FLOODED
Break Occurred at Point Where All Inhabitants Had Moved From.
 Many Are Suffering.

western Newspaper Union News Service Memphts.-Between 1,700 and 1000 square miles, including more than 100000 acres of rich farming land in northeastern Arkansas, in the St. Francis basin. are affected by an over How from the Mississippi river as result of a break in the main line of the levee system, about 50 miles north Of Memphis, near Golden Lake, Ark. Many thriving towns are inundated and many other villages and country store settlements are threatened No loss of life occurred so far as was known, but those acquainted with the territory express hope that all the in- habitants are safe
 The damage will run into millions. Thousands of head of live stock per- ished. Hundreds of farmers probably will suffer loss of household goods. houses, barns or farm implements and foodstuffs. Town people are certain to be heavy losers.
 The break wah in the main levee, gap of about 100 yards which col lapsed with crash shortly after 1 o'clock. The water then tore aside the ends until at o'clock the gap was reported to have widened to more than 600 yards.
 The break was made in a bend of the river directly west of a point where sharp turn is made The height of the water added to the swift ness of the ordinary current The in- rush was thus made terrific. For miles the water forged straight ahead to the west. In this first section to feel the force of the flood, there are few habitations. The occupants of them, small farmers. already had moved out of the threatened area Reports from all the flooded districts of Arkansas say there is intense suf- fering among the flood victims Many are without food and have only few clothes to keep them warm. Relief is being dispatched as fast as is possi- ble to the districts.

 San Francisco-With the events of the last week. the struggle between the employers of the Pacific coast and the Industrial Workers of the World has narrowed to two issues
 A manifesto issued by the San Diego Free Speech League is making the fight to spread the open shop propa- ganda. The question of higher wages and shorter hours has been eliminated, at least temporarily, in the North west, by the stand of the strikers on the sole issue of recognition of the Industrial Workers organization.
 San Diego has been beset by the free speech agitation since January 1 and the announcement was made that an army numbering 10000 industrial workers would mobilize at San Fran. cisco, Sacramento and Stockton and march to the southern city.
 San Diego special deputies and citi. zens assert they will meet the rein forcements of Industrial Workers now headed southward and will drive them back
 The enactment of an anti-street speaking ordinance late last Decem- Der precipitated the San Diego situa tion.
