ELEVATOR FALLS

Albuquerque, N. NJ, May PIP. J.
Mcfarland, foreman for Louis Ilfeld,
wool and pelt dealer, and his helper,
Feliton Mares, both narrowly escaped
serious injury yesterday when an ele-
vator in which the two men were
standing, was suddenly precipitated
from the second floor Of the Ilfeld
building to the basement. Mr.. McFar-
land sustained broken bones in his
left foot and other injuries and was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital for
treatment, emergency aid having first
been given by DR.. J. A. Reidy. Fell
ton Mares also sustained injuries to
his feet and scratches and bruises, be-
ing taken to his home on West Golt
avenue, after his case had been at
tended by DR.. ]. F. Pearce. The ac-
cident was caused, it is said, when the
elevator stuck, and an effort was
made by a bystander to start it oper-
ating again. It is believed cable
broke, precipiating the elevator like
flash to the basement.

Bodies Of Victims Buried.

Halifax, N. s., May 2.-The last
identified dead recovered from the
lost Titanic probably will leave Hall
fax today. Tomorrow afternoon
those bodies that remain will be bur
led in three cemeteries here over
looking the sea- No further identifi-
cations were made today.
Some 20 or 80 burials will be made
tomorrow, Not all of the ceremonies
win be over unidentified dead, for the
relatives Of many that have been
identified, have found graves for them
here. The belief here Is that the
cable ship Nina which is expected in
port next week, has picked up prac-
tically all the bodies that remain to
be found.
The Minia's captain has been noti-
fled to refrain from sending word Of
any further recoveries unless the new
ly discovered bodies are identified,
since the mere mention of finding
more bodies might arouse false hopes
in those whose dead still are missing.

NEWS OF REMARKABLE SINK
ING OF The EARTH

Santa Fe, N. NJ May 2-The wealth
er bureau reports remarkable land
slide 40 miles west of Santa Fe in the
-Jemez mountains which has engulf-
ed large area. Natives are afraid
to approach the brink of the sink as
trees and rocks along the edge are
still crumbling away into the abyss.
Large cracks are also opening in the
earth north of Jemez Springs.
The entire range consists of ex-
tinct volcanoes. which were active in
recent geological times and has many
hot, sulphur, iron and other mineral
spring and lava flows that destroyed
prehistoric cities and cliff dwellings
The weather bureau also reports an
unprecedented snowfall of two to foul

placed the local pastor in charge of
that work. Turning from this the re-
port condemned the so-called con-
gregational system Of calling pastors
for local churches which was said to
have become general in Methodism.
Referring to discussions in the
church publications. the report said:
I'VE understand the church main
tains a press for the advocacy Of her
doctrines and the defense Of her pol
icy when assailed, not as free for
um for the vagaries Of writers who
measure all problems by their own
dooryards, or officially to sanction the
promoters Of disaffection. While we
would not restrain dignified and legi-
innate discussion of proposed amend
ments OF reforms, we deprecate ad-
mission of ill-considered and intem-
perate criticisms of our policy, or
Cnurcn agencies.
One of the proposals before this
conference Is that the bishops be
placed in definite charge of the work
in the territory adjacent to their
episcopal residences. On this point
the report said:
I'VE ask the fixing of two or three
more episcopal residences in this
country at strategic centers. With
these additions we believe that areas
for episcopal supervision can be so
related to the residence cities as to
meet the express desire for continu-
GUS oversight by resident bishops
without any infraction Of the restrict
i've rules"
The conference ordered commits
sion appointed to investigate the
episcopal supervision of the $4,000
negro members in southern states.
William W. Lucas of Meridian, Mis-
sippi, charged that although Bishop
B. Neely's residence was fix
ed as New Orleans, the bishop had
resided there not more than 80 days
in the last four years. Mr.. Lucas and
other southern delegates declared
that unless the negro members secur-1
ed the leadership they sought they
to separate.

FEW EXCEPTIONS ARE NAMED
CERTAIN INSTITUTIONS MAY GO
BEYOND LIMIT IN PURcHAs-
ING FOOD AND CLOTHES
MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED
THE UPPER HOUSE THIS MORN
ING PLUNGED DEEPLY INTO H
REAL WORK.

Santa Fe, n. M. May 2.-The Sen.
ate this morning passed Senate Bill
No. 92, which prohibits officials OF
the state from exceeding their appro-
priations. This is one of the most
important matters of legislation SO far
considered. For the past 20 years
every legislature has had to meet SER
ious deficiencies of the state schools
and Officers There are many defi-
ciencies pending at this time. Before
passing the bill, the senate amended
it to permit the insane asylum at
Las Vegas, the Miners hospital at
Ration, the penitentiary at Santa Fe,
the blind school at Alamogordo,
and the deaf and dumb school at San
ia Fe to exceed appropriations for the
purpose of purchasing food and
clothes only and for no other pur
posel This was done in order that
the inmates might not suffer while
the legislature was not in session
Such deficits, however, would not be
large.
The senate tlso passed Senate Bill
No. 7S, fixing the term OF court in
the Eighth district; Senate Bill No.
26, to repeal the law requiring district
attorneys to file bonds; Senate Bill
No. 81, by Walton, forbidding the de
posit of garbage or filth near any
public building, public road or private
residence; Senate Bill No. 100, fixing
the amount of fees to be charged by
the secretary of state ana requiring
him to turn the money over to the
state treasurer.
The senate tabled indefinitely Sen
ate Bill No rs, an act to define aban-
donment and seduction; Senate Bill
No. 81, giving equal property rights
to women; Senate Bill No. 35, fixing
the death penalty by electrocution;
Senate Bill No. 40, prohibing nepot
ism; Senate Bill No. AZ, requiring pay
ment, by cash or checks OF even
date, the wages of employees who quit
or are discharged by employers. The
senate this morning received the
house medical bill, which was re
ferred to the committee on judiciary
and which will probably have pub
lie hearing soon.
The state senate disposed of more
measures this forenoon than it had
altogether during the preceding 81
days of the session! It addressed a
memorial previously passed by the
house, to congress asking for spe-
cific duty of 20 cents per pound on
secured wool with allowance for
shrinkage and corresponding duty
on manufactured wool. In both houses
all the republicans in the house, all
the democrats except one, and in the
senate, all the democrats except six
voted for it.

line of levees protecting the state
convict plantation at Angola, La
broke this afternoon. Within a short
time the 5000 acres wore Inundated.
/ The state recently completed a half
million dollar sugar refinery and this
will be flooded. All hope Of closing
the Torras creyasse was abandoned
following 4 conference be.ween Gov
ernor Sanders and state engineers
The crevasse had widenod tc near
ly 700 feet and the levee was crum-
bling away rapidly.
News that the engineers had given
up all hope of closing the Torras
crevasse was flashed to every town
on the west side of the river within
radius of so miles. 1t means the
abandonment of thousands of homes
in the territory south of Torras and
property damage that will run into
the millions.
The Angola break is across the riv-
er from Torras crevasse and less
than six miles distant The flood wa
ters on the Angola side will cover
thousands Of acres of fine farming
land along the east bank as far down
as Bayou Sara and st. Francisville,
and probably will return to the Mis-
sissippi near Morganza, La.
On anxious appeals for help, relief
was rushed from every direction to-
day to persons in the flood territory
affected by last nights crevasse in
the Mississippi levees near here.
From many river points steamers and
gasoline launches arrived and five
trains came to take aboard refugees
and livestock.
1 In anticipation of a levee break,
the railroad companies had placed
cattle cars at all sidings south OF
Torras, and these are being loaded
and moved to high ground. At Let's
worth and other small towns, men,
women and children welcomed the
opportunity to share cattle cars with
their COWS and horses.

Couriers rode all night through the
lowIands south of here warning per
sons who are without telephone con.
nections. During the morning no
ward was received of life loss, but
several hundred head of cattle were
drowned.
The flood waters from the new ere
vase will inundate sections of eight
parishes, but will be most destructive
in Pointe Coupee, West Baton Rouge
and Eberville parishes, where millions
of dollars worth of property is en-
dangered. The finest sugar and
