WILL DECIDE CONTESTS
ONLY ON THEIR MERITS
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE
HOUSE TAKE IMPORTANT NAc-
TIoN ON THE QUESTION

of the republican stale executive COM
mittee was held yesterday afternoon
and last night. AT the night session
Speaker Baca and FIVE members Of
the republican majority in the house,
met with the committee. Nothing
was permitted to leak as to what
took place at that meeting, but it is
understood that matters Of party leg
islation were thoroughly discussed.
At a meeting of the committee on
ways and means of the house, to
which the house yesterday referred
the contest cases of Linwood VS.. Cas-
ados and Pacheco VS.. Martinez, it
was decided by resolution that no ac-
ton on these cases would be taken
without first submitting it to eau
Gus of the house republicans. The
resolution, it is said, was presented
by Charles G. Catron. 1t provides
that while these cases will be con-
sidered from a party standpoint, they
will be decided strictly on their mer-
its and on the showing of the. con-
testants. The effect Of this resolution
is to prevent sudden action in the
house by any combination that can
be formed. The democrats view it
as victory for the republicans. The
republicans say 1t is simply to Sc
cure a square deal for all concerned.
The resolution was adopted only after
heated debate, but the republicans
voted solidly for 1T. They control the
committee on ways and means.

New Roads, La, May 3.--The Vel
low waters of the Mississippi river to-

ever-increasing torrent. It is difficult
to estimate the financial loss that

The sugar cane, cotton, rice and corn
crops, which were well advanced,

Torras was practically cut off from
wire communication last night, the
water having buried the cross arms IN
the telegraph poles. Special trains
were run between New Roads TO a

out refugees. Hundreds of people,
forced from their homes by the wa

Middle Louisiana Menaced

New Orleans, May 3. -Exerting it's
tremendous strength against the walls
of weakening dykes. the Mississippi s
angry torrent continues to menace
the fertile acres and prosperous towns
of middle Louisiana today. The levee
let go near Bayou Sara, town on the
east bank of the river. 1t Is feared
that by night the entire town VIII be
inundated with water from four to IS
feet deep.
The front levee at Baton Rouge is
expected to go out at any minute. Six
hundred men are working out pro
lection levee at the south end OF The
town and another force isworking al
most hopelessly to save the Baton
Rouge city waterworks plant and sew
erage pumping station from overflow.
There is alarm among some of the
residents of New Orleans over the
situation here as the water is a
half foot above all records. The flood
still is rising and in places in the
busines district is being held back by
sandbag topping. The engineers here,
however, declare that while there may
be some slight overflow, there is not
the slightest danger of a break in
the levees protecting the city. Up
state, where thousands of res of
fertile land have been flooded and
hundreds of persons driven from
home, rescue work is rapidly pro-
ceeding.
Eight persons we're drowned his f.
ternoon when the Mississippi RI er
leyee near Morganzas La. brehe
flooding the surrounding country.
Bayou Sara is from five to 10 feet
under water this afternoon and all
hopes of stopping the crevasse have
been abandoned. The break now has
widened to rs feet and still is grow
ing with the lower portion of St.
FrancisvilIe three feet under water
No loss of life has been reported.
Serious Trouble Denied
Telephone messages received here
from Morganza and New Roads today
denied the report of the break in the
west Mississippi river levee north Of
Morganza. 1t was said slight over
flo wnear Lecour and some dangerous
crayfish holes caused the circulation
of the reported break in the embank
ment. The situation at Morganza
however, is considered desperate.
