 NEW ORLEANS. May An pre- vious Mississippi high water records from Baton Rouge south were broken today the flood increasing three to five inches daily Extreme anxiety for the stability of levees south of Red river landing are felt. Unless sunshine continues engineers admit they have little on which to base hopes of winning the fight. The river gauge here registered 20.6 feet, the highest ever recorded here.
 TORRAS, La, May 1.-The main levee on the west side of the Missis- sippi broke tonight and this probably will be the worst flood in the history Of the lower Mississippi. Flood waters higher than ever before are pouring over parts of two thickly settled par ishes.

APPROPRIATION
NOW FIXED FOR
PARCELS POST
SO. 900 Is Named for Commission in
POstOffice Appropriations Bill Re-
ported to House Ycsterday-Ag-
gregate Is less for Department This
Year by Over $3,OOO,OOO.

Washington Dec. 13.-The postof-
flee appropriation bill, aggregating
S27S,4S9,7S1, including $75O,OOO for
parcels post equipment and $25, 900
for the parcels post commission, was
reported to the house yesterday. The
total is a decrease of $3,3O1,725 from
last years estimates.
The postoffice department submit
ted increased estimates partly attrib-
utable to the expenses of the parcels
post to be installed under the pres
ent law and to the postal savings
bank. The estimate was reduced by
the committee on the ground that
the estimates as to these projects are
largely speculative
Despite the postmaster generals re-
port of a small surplus for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1911, the post
office committee reported that there
was a deficit of about $627,000 in
stead of surplus of $4,000 for that
year. Similarly, according to the
committee, the accounts chargeable
to this year may make change in
the postmaster generals auditors pos
tai deficit of s1,765,523 for the fiscal
year of 1912.

Four sound, strong men, convicted of
murder, paid the penalty this morn
ing when they were shot through the
two traps OF the gallows tree in the
old pillow and mattress storeroom of
the state penitentiary. Colonel b. X.
Lawson. warden and superintendent,
released one spring, and a guard the
other. The same spring released
both traps but both were pulled
simultaneously to ease the consciences
Of the warden and the men, as
neither desired to be responsible for
the final passage of the condemned
men into eternity, or rather neither
desired to have the certain RESPONSE
bility rest on him.
Thus passed out Mike Morgan,
slayer of John Yorke Frank Garri-
son, who killed Roy Perkins; Noble
Faulder, who in a drunken rage slew
Louis Gilbert: H. E. Roberts, who
killed Donald Stewart and George
Hastings.
A week or so ago the scaffold was
taken from its place in a little room
just north OF the dining room and
installed in the apartment where
the convicts were wont to make pill
lows and mattresses for the state in
stitutions. The condemned in an
upper tier of cells nearby must have
heard the ominous sounds of the
loathsome contraption being dragged
across the stone floors and jostled
and hammered into place.
I'VE want the gallows before life
Imprisonment" declared three of the
men to interviewers week before
the execution. Il am not afraid"
remarked Roberts, youngest of the
murderers. although his knees were
trembling, and his voice broke, show
ing how fear-riven was his whole
being. Terror of the moose. the bare
room and that prehenslle limb that
points straight ahead as though
eternally reaching out for more vic
tins began to sap the senses of
this youth, and it was feared that
a physical and mental collapse would
ensue before he could be strangled
to death in the name of the law
Faulder later grew sullen, refusing
| to talk, while Roberts read the Bible
| through in order to find a beacon
/ that would light the chasm of his de-
| spair Morgan, sullen from the first
| repulsed all. while Garrison was
shamefaced and abashed. But all
despite the hope that springs eternal
| preferred the gallows to the cell.
Salem, Ore, Dec. 13.-Morgan, on,
of the murderers dying today, spen
last night in prayer. Garrison pre-
pared speech which he expected t.
deliver on the gallows.

MAY FACE men
WHO OTHREATENED
HIM WITH DEATH
Wilson Likely to BE Called Into Court
Against Three Who Are Alleged to
Have Sent Blackmail Uettcr-Pres- !
ident-elect and Family Expected
Home Tuesday.

Newark, n. j., Dec. 13.-President-
elect Wilson may face in court here
next Tuesday the three men accused
of threatening his life.
4 subpoena was issued by United
States commissioner Stockton for the
president-elect's appearance and to
make this possible he postponed the
examination of the alleged blackmail-
ers from yesterday until next Tues
day by which time it is expected the
Wilson family will have reached New
York from Bermuda
The letters which Warren Dunn,
Jacob Dunn and Seeley Davenport
who were arrested are alleged to
have addressed to Governor Wilson
at Trenton were opened by Joseph
Tumulty, the governors secretary
Mr.. Tumulty also was subpoenaed
In case his testimony as to the re-
ceipt of the letters is accepted as
sufficient proof, Governor Wilson
may not be required to testify.
The issuance of the subpoenas was
described by Commissioner Stockton
as a mere formality but the commits
sioner hoped the president-elect
would appear. since he was the pro-
posed victim of the plot.
The threats in the letters were in
demand of $4,000 or life and one of
them reminded Governor Wilson of
the fate of Mckinley and of the at
tempt to kill Roosevelt.

Shall the open season for grouse
in eastern Oregon open August Is, as
at present, or shall it open Septem Der
first, as suggested by the state fish
and game commission?
This was the only subject which
aroused any discussion at last nights
meeting of local sportsmen, which
was called for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed changes in the
game laws 1t was generally conced-
ed that the deer and grouse seasons
should coincide. There was no OBJ
lection to cutting down the limit of
deer to be killed in one season from
five to three Even the proposal to
shorten the duck season by making
it open the October first instead of
September first, and closing it jan
uary 15 instead of April 1, brought
forth no dissenting voice. Neither did
the proposed limit of 25 ducks and
25 geese for any seven consecutive
days and prohibition of the sale of
geese except for limited period bring
forth any protest. But the addition
of an addition of an entire month to
the open season for grouse failed to
placate those who were objecting to
the 15-day postponement of the op-
ening.
They declared it would make
grouse shooting a sport to be enjoy
ed only by those who had an unlim-
tied amount of time at their disposal
and who could go at any season of
the year and as often as they pleas
ed. They insisted that it would be
closed book to the man with fam
lily and limited amount of vacation
time, who could only go into the
mountains once in an entire year and
who desired to go when he could take
his family in comfort, escape the
heat of the town, and secure huckle-
berries. They held that he should
also be given chance to get as much
recreation as possible by giving him
an opportunity to shoot grouse and
hunt for deer If he so desired.
Those favoring September first for
the opening date pointed to the un-
deniable fact that many of the birds
are immature and not large enough
to kill by the middle of August, that
they are still in punches and at the
foolish age where they will fly up in
to trees and let the INSCRIPTIONS
hunter kill off the entire flock.
The September first adherents were
not able to muster more than mi
nority so it is very probable that un-
less Mr.. Cranston receives assurance
to the contrary between now and Sat
urday evening he will tell the COM
mission next Monday that 1t is the de-
sire of local sportsmen to have the
grouse and deer season open August
Is and close November first.

PEACE ENJOYS GATHER
Servia Still Demands Port on Add-
atic-If One Is Desired, Clash Be-
tween Serv1a and Austria Will Be
Unavoidable-Turks Demand that
Greeks Sign Peace Pact.

London, Dec. ia battle between
the Turkish and Greek navies is nro-
crossing in the Aegean sea. according
10 Constantinople and Athens dis
patches. Athens cables that the
Greeks defeated a detachment of
Turks at Penthigadia near Janina.
The conference of the Balkan and
turkish peace representatives did not
start today on account of the non
arrival of the Turkish envoys The
British foreign office stated the con-
ference will not begin before Mon
day. The Bulgarian ENJOYS arrived
this morning and the Turks are ex-
pected this afternoon.
Constantinople. Dec 13.-It has
been semi-officially announced here
that the Turkish ENJOYS to the Lon
don conference were instructed not
to sign peace pact until Greece
signs. The Turks will demand that
the Greeks sign the Baghtche armis-
tice or a separate agreement.
London, Dec. 13.-The Balkan en-
voys state that Turkey must relin-
quish Scutari, Janina- Adrianople and
Durazzo if she desires peace. Pre-
mier Nenizelos of Greece stated that
reports of fiction between the Bal
kans are groundless. The allies are
strongly united
NJ. Novakovitch, Servian envoy,
stated that if his country is permit
ted to retain Durazzo. an Austrian
clash will be avoided. Grey is expect
ing the ENJOYS will make informal
calls.
1t was learned that NJ. Simicis. the
Servian minister to Austria. was re-
called a month ago. The act does not
mean a fracture of diplomatic rela-
tons. Throngs welcomed the en-
voys today and lavish entertainments
are planned.

SILVER THAW MAKES
WALKING DIFFICULT

Pendleton awoke this morning to
find herself under a coat of thin ice
which has come to be known in Ore
gon as a silver thaw." Following
quite a heavy rain last night. a sud
den cold spell froze the water and
produced the peculiar and infreduent
phenomena.
The icy coating made the streets
and sidewalks dangerous for both
man and beast and until a real thaw
set in shortly before IL o'clock, the
paved streets were deserted of all
horsetraffic while the pedestrians
who ventured out were few in num-
ber. In the early hours of the morn
ing, several teams appeared on the
streets but the horses were unable
to keep their footing and their driv-
ers quickly turned about and beat
a retreat back to the barns. In one
case this retreat was accomplished
only after considerable difficulty. One
teamster had started across the
bridge with his team. The horses
fell and before they could get up
their feet had to be swathed in cut
laprobes and sacks
East Alta street, which is paved
was turned into skating rink, a
number of small boys appearing
early with ice skates and gliding up
and down the street as if on the
frozen surface of a stream.
4 drizzing rain commenced about
1890 and by noon horses could ven-
ture on the streets with some degree
of safety The thawing has contin-
ued this afternoon but it would not
be surprising if another freeze would
produce another "silver thaw" to-
night.
