AFTER TWO MONTHS
WATER USSUAGE
Mississippi Back in it's Banks
at Cairo, But Devasta-
ton Remains.

Cairo, ILL.,. May 22.-After two
months to day of a stage of water
above the fortyfoot mark on the
Cairo gauge. the river has dropped be-
low that point. On March is the rap
idly rising river shot up past the forty
foot mark. On May Is it dropped be-
low that mark and today the river is
at the thirty-nine-foot mark and fall
ing rapidly.
Between the two dates there was not
only the highest water ever known
but one flood stage followed another
which was also unusual.
The drainage district is now practi-
cally free from water and as rapidly
as the ground dries out order can be
brought out of the chaos in which
the flood put it.
The roads have been badly washed
out in the drainage district where the
water poured over them. At the sub.
way under the Illinois Central deer
hole was washed where the first water
poured through after the Mobile and
Ohio break
Fruit trees in the district hich had
their tops above water will proba bly

for the first time in nearly two months
when the high water flooded the
drainage district and inundated the
tracks of the company.
Debris and trash of every conceiv.
able description is scattered all along
the track. including several houses and
barns. Workmen are now engaged a,
various places along the line removing
these obstacles from the path. and II
is expected that by Tuesday everything
will be in order again for the resump.

This afternoon the subway wal
opened and the Sycamore car began
once again its regular trips to the city
limits.

Natchez. Miss. May 22.-Back wa

houla and Tensas. La. continues to be
a most vexatious problem. In the low
er part of Concordia. adjacent to Red
and Black rivers. the water is falling
at the rate of four inches day, while
at Ferriday it is falling one inch a
day. At Clayton the water has been
falling, but was almost stationary to-
day, and at Vidalia 1t is on stand.
There are two strips Of public walk
and the site on which new public
school building is in the course of
erection above water. Today couple
of men in a small gasoline launch ran
their boat into a saloon in vidalia

in the usual order and then withdrew.
A number of white refugees in Nat
chez who held back on account OF
false pride have been forced to apply
for assistance. Several members OF
the Elks' lodge have slipped about a,
night, leaving baskets OF provisions for
some of the sensitive ones. The need
of relief Is becoming more urgent or
account of the government supplies
being confined to rations.

Minneapolis. May 22.--William r.
Norris. negro attorney of Minne-
apolis, and member Of the Amer
lean Far association, has sent to S.
s. Gresory of Chicago, president. his
conditional resignation from the or
sanization. In his letter to MIR.
Gregory he declares that his resigna-
tion shall so into effect only when
the association, in annual meeting.

that the only reason for its accepts
ance is that he is a negro.
MIR. Morris says that he has receiv-
ed no answer to the letter.

the marquis of Exeter.
Exposure Inevitable.
After all. IL the Cccils has possessed
minimum Of common sense they
must have known that an exposure
was unavoidable. for every English
school boy who knows anything about
the history OF his country is familiar
With the fact that n vast new aristo-
cracy was founded on the plunder of
the church lands at the time of the
reformation. In his famout History
of England" Froude writes of the
times of Henry Will:
The new owners of the broad do
mains We're. for the most part, either

ines who had been nursed under
Wolsey and grown to manhood in the
storms of the reformation-Cromw

Seymour. Fitzwilliam and the satel-
lites who revolved about them: or else
city merchants. successful wool deal
ers or manufacturers: in all classes
the men of progress-the men of the
future-the rivals. if not the active
enemies. of the hereditary feudal mag
mates. From that time dates the
new aristocracy to which the Cecils
belong"
The story is curious one. Henry
VIII. had intended to divert this prop
erty to the foundation of twenty one
new dev, bishoprics. with as many cathe-
drals and as many new chapters. An
act drawn up by Henry's own hand
was passed to that effect. But the

pates gradual increase in the fall,
but no marked fall is looked for at an

The back waters continue to recede
with such extreme slowness that the
stage of the flood waters may be said
to be stationary. There is a slight in
crease in the rate at which the waters
recede in the vicinity of the break,

fees and has planned to leave Thurs

delegates who will be elected at the

delegates to get the nomination al
Chicago.
He has arranged an extension of

GIVES HOTEL FOR
$500 LIQUOR BILL
Grantee Deeds 1t Back to BOni-
faces Wife-Fraud,
Says Court.

Asserting his belief that the con
veyance of property was a fraudulent
one, Vice-Chancellor Howell today ad
vised a decree setting aside the deeds
and mortgages made out between
Charles e. W. Davis, proprietor of the
Homestead Hotel, Matawan. and his
wife. The vice-chancellor, who APP
peared In chancery for the first time
since his return from the South. did
not hesitate to say that the transfer
of the hotel property made by Davis
was to defeat his creditors. of whom
Davis asserted HI had many.
The complainants were the executors
of the estate of George w. Davis. a
brother, formerly of Atlantic High
lands, who died January 16, 1911.
The hotel manager explained on the
stand that he decided his hotel prop
erty to Henry L. Splitter, of Perth Am
boy, to satisfy a claim of $500 for
liquors purchased from him.
Splitter in turn decided the property,
according TO an agreement, to the
hotel keepers wife.
Did Davis owe you the $500, or did
he owe it to the firm?"
He owed the firm, but I was held
liable for the amount replied Splitter.
