 Through two creyasses in the Mississippi river and another in it's equally rampant tributary, the Arkansas, great volumes of muddy water are today rushing out over the lowlands on the west side of the big stream. destined to cover q large section of northeast Louisiana and portion of the extreme southeastern part of Ar kansas. For the next eight o. ten days the raging waters which late Friday tore their way through the restraining levees will move southward through the Tensas valley of Louisiana and finally will fe- turn to the Mississippi at the intersection of the Red river, more than lGO miles by land from the upper crevasse and nearly l30 miles from the lower breach in the levees.
 Twelve Parishes to Suffer
 No less than 12 large parishes in Louisi- ana and two Arkansas counties will | felt the effects of the flood waters t9fz they again get back within the VI sippi's levees. Millions of acres Of aa will be inundated, although. for the l pari, tue oaerifowr territory will
 brace untitled swamps
 No lives have been lost according tt ports received last night from two scorl af | towns in the path of the flooded distf1e. The levee authorities and municrpsl aas thorties in tho affected territory expr the belief that no lives will be lost. The property loss will be heavy. it Is admit ted Many thousands of head of cattle already have been drowned. according to last nights reports. and more will Ls claimed by the flood waters as they eon- tinue southward.
 The destructive breaks in the Mssls- sippfs leyees al Panther Forest. Ark, and near Roosevelt, La. will have little effect upon the crest of the flood waters of the big river from Vicksburg south, according to weather bureau forecasts and the government and state engineers cannot for several weeks yet afford to re- lax their vigilance in the fight to control the floods further down toward the gulf
 Depends Upon Weather Capt. C. 0. Sherrill. chief engineer In charge of the river work from Vicksburg south to the mouth of the river, admitted yesterday that it was fight that de- pended largely upon weather conditions. "We probably will win if the weather con- dltions are favorable, he declared But the weather conditions were not favor-t able Friday and Saturday, when rain- fall was general over d large part of the Mississippi valley, with more than two inches recorded in places. Regardless, however, of the result of the great and costly fight being made by the federal and state governments along the swollen stream, 1t is believed that there can be no great loss of life in any event. The people in the territory endangered by the highest water in the history of the Mississippi from Vicksburg on south have been given adequate warn- ing. The property damage, too. will be largely confined to the drowning of cat tie.
 The cities where the flood crest Is yet to be recorded are not apprehensive.

FULLY 50 DELEGATES
 OF 64 ARE PLEDGED
State Convention, Which Elects Dele gates at Large, Will Also Be Con trolled by Anti-Taft Faction.
 Managers Celebrate

Philadelphia, April 1.-The primary election in Pennsylvania resulted in a landslide for Colonel Roosevelt. As the returns continue 10 come in the vic tory for the Roosevelt adherents be- comes more complete.
 Of the 64 delegates elected in the 32 districts fully 50 are pledged to vote for Roosevelt Added to this is the probability that the republican sate convention which will choose F delegates a large to the national con yention will be controlled by the anti Taft element. insuring at least 62 dele gates for Roosevelt from this state.
 The republican organization leaders are stunned by the overwhelming de- feat of the Taft candidates and have United States Senator Penrose, the rec ognized leader Of the republican or ganizauon and the leading Taft boom CT in this state, left the city early in the afternoon and boarded his yacht at Atlantic City.
 Managers Celebrating
 Tonight the Roosevelt campaign managers are celebrating their victory to the fullest extent. They are claim ing more than the 62 delegates the re- turns so far give them.
 With the exception of one or two dis tricts in the state, Woodrow Wilson will have a solid delegation from Pennsylvania to the democratic na- tlonal convention.

 John Dalzell appears to have been renominated for Congress in the Thr- rieth district by a small majority bur the renomination of Dr. A. J. Barch field in the Thirty second is in doubt
 State Returns
 Philadelphia, April Manifestations point to the election of delegates favorable to Taft in the First Second, Third and Fourth congressional districts Of Penn sylYania.
 In the Fifth and Sixth districts the con. test was bitter and the result Is close though the Roosevelt managers claim the election of delegates favorable to their candidates. The independent vote of the city is largely eentered in these two districts.
 Pittsburg, April 13 3-Incomplete returns from the four congressional districts in this city indicate the election of the eight Roosevelt delegates. This was conceded by the Taft organization.

Mighty Torrent Sweeping Out

Aliulah La. April l3.-A mighty torrent of water is tonight sweeping out over Madison and East Carroll parishes from the Dog Tail leYee crevasse which went out with a roar late yesterday and sud denly turned loose an IS foot wall of Mis- sissppi flood waters.
 It Is believed no lives have been lost. but the property loss from thfs vrevasse will be heavier than suffered by this sec ton since the destructive floods of 1882.

was requested by Thomas to get all
