New Orleans Situation

New Orleans, May S.-The flood situa- tion at New Orleans tonight concerns more largely the scenes of activity around the relief headquarters, where car load after car load of supplies are being boxed up and shipped out to the refugee camps in central and northern Louisiana, rather than any alarming condition on the river front Two days of sunshine have served to improve the condition of the levees in the city lim- its but the work of strengthening the line of entrenchments, and topping low places continues, although there are now less than 200 men all told working on the city's defense line.
 There is more water banked up against the levees protecting the city than ever before in it's history but both the United States and state en- gineers declared there is not the slight est danger of d break here. They con slider the stretch of 5000 feet at Ames- vile, across the river from New Or leans, the only bad line of levee in the immediate vicinity of the city. A force of about 150 men is at work on this stretch and Captain Sherrell, chief of tho United States army engineers In charge of the work tonight stated that he considered it absolutely safe.
 Seepage Stopped
 At Esplanade street, where the South ern Pacific ferry house is flooded, a sim gle line of sand bags holds back the water, but several car loads of sand bags are right at hand, should a further rise in the river require them. The seepage as the head of canal street has been effectively stopped by the line of sand bags around the ferry house.
 United States army officers at Jackson barracks, in the southern extremity of the city, where some alarm was felt over the condition of the levees in the Third district Friday and Saturday, sent their families to the city. but tonight some of the women and children returned to their homes at the fort, Only small force of men is now at work on the levees in that section.
 Samuel Blum, chairman of the New Or leans relief committee, continued today to dispatch heavy shipments of clothing and shoes to flood sufferers in the seq<ion

Babies Drown

MT. Barrow told of the drowning of a baby in one of the swollen bayous which the family was trying to cross to safety The baby fell out of the sl1iff and was drowned, No attempt was madeto save 1t because the swift currept swept it away and it was the life of all the others against the babys. negro baby, in another instance, was literally washed out of it's mothers lap as the waters rushed through the cabin door. The mother and father escaped in a boat, but the baby's body was never found.
 There are more than 1000 refugees in Baton Rouge tonight 800 having arrived from the New Roads country. A. M Holiday of Fodoche, who brought in 300 head of cattle tonight, estimated that he lost about POO by drowning.
 Citizens of Butcher today communicated threats to the governors office today that the tracks of the Y. & M.

It required four days and nights of hard work to close the drainage gap and the job was finished early today but the railroad gap is still open. The butcher people say they would be inundated in the event of break here If the protec- ton levee should fail. The railroad peo- pie have kept open the gap to facilitate the transportation of supplies and labor necessary in fighting the high water here.

PRESIDENT TAFT
 SPEAKS IN OHIO
Attacks Roosevelt for Oppo-
 siti0n to Peace Treaties
MAKES IT SPEECHES
Takes Up More Than Dozen Sub iects the Colonel Has Referred to in Speeches-Is Not
 "Press Agent"

l Columbus, O., May s.-President Taft charged here tonight in a speech that | Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, his campaign
 manager, Senator Dixon of Montana and democrats in the Senate. were responsible for the "emasculation'' of the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France and that in consequence of their action the pacts were so changed as to be of doubtful utility. These treaties, the Presi- dent declared would have made wide steps toward universal peace; would have slgnalized a movement for an universal arbitral court and were as progressive measures as ever were suggested to the American people,
 He continued his attack on Colonel Roosevelt, taking up more than dozen to in his speeches against the President MT. Taft openly accused MT. Roosevelt of misrepresentation and misstatement.
 Answering the Roosevelt charge of Taft alliance with bosses the President criticised his predecessor for attempting to inject into a national campaign ques- tlons which properly concern the states and with which President has no direct concern.
 Appeals to Negroes In discussing the recall, MT. Taft ap- pealed to the negro voters to think over what might become of them if the recall of decisions became permissible. Every constitutional guaranty that protects you and me and my colored friends, every constitutional guaranty that you rely on in the 18th and 14th and 18th amendments" he said would be subject to an election to decide whether the court was right in particular law and in a particular case What does that amount to, gentlemen? It amounts to writing the restrictions of your constitu- tion in water."
 MT. Taft made IT speeches during the day. His voice stood up well, but grew a trifle husky. His fellow Ohioans turned out in good numbers and listened atten- lively to his arguments although interrup- tons and comments from the crowds were comparatively few.

Baton Rouge, La, May s.-That the total loss of life in the floods of the Mississippi river may never be accurately known was indicated today when Alex Barrow, who ca:ne here from Bayou La Tanache coun- ty. told of heart rending scenes among the stricken people in the flooded dis tricts.
 While herding my cattle I met ne- gro farmer who had driven all steers into his front yard, but who with his family refused to leave their cabin. I told him of the danger" said MT. Barrow, and the negro got his own cattle out and went back in boat to get his family whether they wanted to come or not He was too late. The cabin and everything in it had been swept away"

carried away the honors, and in fact
took nearly everything worth while.
In the land show which was held
down town, there were twenty five
box contests; four box contests; plate
contests; artistic display contest and
every other manner of arrangements
and consideration of quality that was
possible for the management to think
of. The management of the dairy
show was under the supervision of
Mr.. o. M. Plummer, manager OF the
Union Stock Yards, and he is being
congratulated on evey hand for the
success of this first show.
1t would seem that Portland people
were extending strong right hand
of fellowship to Washington dairymen
from the fact that two Washington
dairymen, j. w. elise, was made
president of the show and j. L. Smith
of the Hazelwood Farm Herd of
Holsteins at Spokane, was made as
sistant general manager.
The most interesting feature of the
land show was the student oratorical
contest. This was between students
of the Oregon Agricultural College in
discussion Of various horticultural
topics, six winning out of nineteen
entered in the triumph. The Oregon
Agricultural College short time ago
appeared before the horticultural
society when 800 in prize money was
awarded to the winners. The con-
test will be one of the annual features
of the convention.

money.

During the week of November 18th

interested attention, as we'll as money,
to the promotion of two good demon
STATIONS of the products of agricul-
ture. One was the Pacific Interna-
tional Dairy Show, and the other the
Northwest Land Show, each being the
first of it's kind held in Portland.
They should be, for this reason, con-
sidered excellent successes. The
Portland people contributed consider
able money for both shows and the

Land Product Show will pay out
handsomely. A peculiar thing about
the dairy show was the fact that no
admittance was charged and none of
it's officers drew any salary, but the
whole money contributed by the
Portland people went to pay for
premiums. Of course there are many
other expenses attached to the show
and probably an expense of $1,000 or
more may have to be appropriated by
the stock yards company to defray
this loss, but when the show is com
pared with the International Dairy
Show, recently held at Chicago, it
will be seen that aim ost as many herds
we're shown at Portland as at the
older Chicago show. OF course, the
promoters of the show at Portland
were unable to put on the frllls of
vaudeville stunts that Chicago carried
out for the benefit of the city visitors,
but withal it was substantial show
well worthy of the best efforts, and
were it not for the fact that the street
car service, over five or six mile route,
required from one hour and quarter
to one hour and half to travel in
either direction there undoubtedly
would have been an enormous attend
ance from the city.
The events of the dairy show was
the showing of Jerseys, Holstein,
Guernsey, Ayrshires and few Short
horns, and a nice little exhibition of
cheese making in which Wisconsin
carried away the honors. A students
judging contest in which the class
from Washington State College took
