DEATH RIDES
UPON FLOOD
Entire Families Are Sven.
from Housetops at
TOrras, La.
MOTORBOATS RUSHING TO
RESCUE ARRIVE TOO LATE
Waters at Gross Tete, La, Are
Rising Four Inches an
Hour.

NEW ROADS. La. May 6.-Flood reiu
gees reaching here early today declar,
there has been loss of life in that part OF
Louisiana inundated by the swift waters
of the Mississippi river rushing through
the breach in the levee at Torras.
Ii is known that motorboats sent to
take numerous persons from tioatins
housetops arrived too late.
How many persons perished as they
were oyertaken by the flood cannot be
determined. Refugees brought to the con-
centration camps are hurried hither ana
tbither, sometimes families are separated
in the confusion. and persons have been
reported missing who simply have been
sent from one camp to another.
Nevertheless, large numbers of the refu-
gees claim they have seen entire families
swept from housetops into the Hood
waters. Leaders of the rescue corps ad-
NIT that several times they have sent
motorboats to points where families had
taken refuge on the roof of a house and
that when the boat arrived its crew
found only the building, buffeted about
by currents, and half its roof surface
submerged. The food had exacted its
toll.
Appeals for help reached here last
night from Lettsworth, directly in the
path of the Torras torrent. Half hun
dred people were reported to be in i'm
minent danger of drowning. The house
in which they had taken shelter had
been dislodged from Its foundation and
was being tossed about in the current.
More Than Thousand stilI in Peril.
There are at least 1000 people who re
main to be rescued from the inundated
country west of Lettsworth and Batch
elor. Some of them are drifting about
on hastily-constructed RATS.
The crevasse water is spreading rap
idly, inundating sections of Pointe Cou-
pee parish, which have never before
been reached by overfiows. Town after
town Is being buried beneath the muddy
waters.
The last OF the special trains which
have been bringing refugees out of the
country around Bachelor arrived here
last night
When the two relief trains were about
ready to leave Bachelor word was re-
ceived that there was grave danger of
being cut off by a threatened washout in
the tracks several miles east of that
place. When the first train arrived at
the point of trouble water was flowing
over t0e tTachS lof II ulstdhct VI uNc
miles. But the train passed over in
safety. When the second section ar
rived the water was rushing over the
track about two feet deep. An attempt
was made to reach the other side of the
washout, but about halfway the tracks
gave way and the eaboose and three cars
toppeled Occupants of the derailed cars
were thrown into the water, but escaped
without injury. They were transferred
to other cars and brought on to New
Roads.
When the first section of the relief
special sped through the water which
was running over the tracks Just north
of Morganza, scores of people were seen
standing waist deep in water near the

who said he lived at i0l
Baldwin street, made an insulting re-
mark TO Mrs. Auna Bradley, OF 1sS Or
ange street, he was not contemplating
meeting verltabie white hope In femi-
nine guise, and as a result Of his action
he suffered the worst thrashing he had
ever experienced.
Mrs. Bradley was not finished when
she had delivered a jolt ON the ebony
Jaw that took France off his feet, but
she attempted to lift him off the ground
by his rather abbreviated and kInky
hair. And II was not until Patrolman
James Walsh arrived on the scene that
she was persuaded to desist. France was
sent TO jail for forty days on a charge of
disorderly conduct in the Second Precinct
Court today.
