Larue Sections of Fifteen Louisiana Parishes on West
 Side of River Under Water.
PEOPLE FLEEING BY BOTH BOAT AND TRAIN
Grave Concern Felt For Remaining Levees Which Protect Thousands of Lives and Millions of Property-River Already Supasses All Previous Flood Records and Add- tionaI Rise Is Predicted-Nevv Orleans Alarmed.

along the Mississippi river from the mouth of the Red river south is, how ever. causing deepest concern for the present. Millions of dollars worth Of property is at stake and thousands of lives would be jeopardized if some of the biggest of the levees should give way.
 Federal engineers, state and parish officials and an army of men scat tered along the river from point sixty miles below New Orleans to the Red river are bending every energy to prove themselves equal to the task assigned them.
 Lack of Labor a Handicap.
 Reports today were more reassuring than on yesterday and state engineers declared they have faith in their abil- ity to hold every remaining levee on the Mississippi. But the danger is not past by any means.
 Lack of labor due largely to the un- concern of negroes who have been drawing government rations, has been the most serious drawback. Stringent tactics have been forced upon the of ficials and planters. however. today and Governor Sanders ordered the Louisiana militia to round up 300 ne- groes and make them do work on the levees, at the point of rifles if neces- saTy.
 Situation at New Orleans Grave.
 There is alarm among some of the residents of New Orleans. though the daily statements of the city officials and leYee board engineers are reas- suring.
 Extreme precautions have been talk en to meet any emergency
 At Orleans the situation is still grave and a thousand laboreTs work ed all day long today, filling in dirt between the levees and the reYel- ments. The water is over the dock at ESplanade street and the rear of the Southern Pacific transfer station is eighteen inches deep in water Work continued tonight and armed guards patrolled the levees at all weak points in the city.

 ment Steamer to Be Used.

Halifax, N. S., May 5.-The search for Titanic bodies is to be continued and the Canadian government steamer Montmagny- is to sail tomorrow re- lieYing the Minia, which is expected to arrive with less than twenty bodies tomorrow. The White Star line officials tried hard to get another steamship but failed. The two cbale ships which have been searching are required for their regular work.
 AS a last recouse an application was made to the Dominion govern ment for the Montmagny which has been lying here some time undergoing repairs.
 This work was about concluded. At first the officials of the marine depart ment at Ottawa were disinclined to allow the vessel to go, but a request was made direct to Hon. R. l.. Borden and through him to the minister of marine and the steamship was ordered to get ready. She will be ready to sail tomorrow afternoon
 The government steamer in prose- cutting her search vii cruise along the edge of the Gulf stream and it is eX- pected that bodies will be found in cold water as far north perhaps as 100 miles from the place where the Titanic went down. The AIacay Ben nett reported bodies drifting north easterly and the AIontmagny's cruise will be in that direction.

 Hospital Inmate is Solved.

MiddIetown, Conn, May 5.-The body of Frederick P. Burrows, an inmate of the Connecticut hospital for the in sane, who escaped April :. was found late this afternoon in the cellar of an abandoned ramshaCkle house on the Durham road, near the residence of Robert P.

 Medical Examiner J. Francis Calef and Coroner s. E. Davis, who were called, say that it is a case of suicide, though there are a number of puzzling circumstances in connection with it After Burrows had apparently hung himself to one of the rafters with a piece of clothesline some one had cut the body down, the rope being cleanly severed. as if done by a knife Bur rows right hand was tied to his side wiht a piece of hempen rope, and the body itself was partly covered with refuse.
 In the clothing of the dead man was found a letter saying that he had in tended to end his life, The letter was written in Burrows handwriting. In pocket was found a quantity of hempen rope, the same with which his hand was tied to his side.
 Dr. A B. Coleburn of the state hos pital was called to view the body, and he is also of the opinion that Burrows ended his own life. He said that Bur rows had once before escaped from the institution, but had been brought back Medical Examiner Calef said the man had apparently been dead at leest three weeks. The tramp who gave the information, told AIr. Hubbard that he had gone into the barn to seek shelter from the storm. MT Hubbard tried tc i detain him for further information, but the tramp ran down the road and dis appeared. The police are looking fol 1 him. Burrows was committed to the asylum from Fairfield.
