The proposed law gives the Postmaster General authority to fix the compensation of the rail ways on the basis suggested, up on calculations made by him which ignore many items which the railways think properly as. signed to the cost of hauling. It provides that if any railway not satisfied with his award appeal may be made; but only to the Postmaster, General, who will submit the appeal to the Inter- state Commerce Commission with such data for the consiQera- tion of the commission as he may think pertinent. The railways think this suggested proviso auto. cratic. They are lacking in a sense of humor. It is grotesque.
 In Congress the Joint Com> mission to investigate the Pos> tai Service reported on January IA, 1901, that "upon a careful consideration of all the evidence and the statements and argu- ments submitted, and in view of all the services rendered by the railways, we are of the opinion that the prices now paid to the railways for the transportation of the mails are not excessive, and recommend that no reduc- tion thereof be made at this time" This report was signed by Senator William B. Allison of Iowa, Senator Edward s. Wal colt of Colorado, Senator Thomas s. Martin of Virginia, Repersen- tative Eugine F. Loud of Califor- nia, Representative w. H. Moody of Massachusetts and Represen- tative T, c Catchings of Mississ ippi.
 Since that report was made the volume of the American mails, the revenue of the American DOS. tai service and it's demands upon the railways for service and facil- ities have greatly increased. The costs of supplying railway transportation have also greatly increased. Yet during this per iod of rapidly advancing railway expenses, and in spite of the fact that at it's commencement after investigation by a compe- tent Congressional committee of inquiry, to be not excessive, the rates ot payment for railway mail services have been subjected to repeated and drastic decreases accomplished both by Legislative action and by administrative or. ders, amounting to about $l5, ,000.- 900 year.
 Now it is proposed to burden the railways with the carriage of the additional parcels post trafic without any immediate increase in their compensation.

what is known as the progressive
wing of the Republican party, should
nominate Woodrow Wilson. He more
nearly represents the opposite side of
the issue than any other available
man. If Roosevelt is nominated, then
believe that either Harmon, Clark
or Underwood, which ever shows the
greater strength, would be the logical
nominee. With either of these men
the Democratic party would draw
strength from the conservative Re-
pub1icans. believe now that Har-
mon is the most desirable man should
Roosevelt be nominated However,
believe that each following should be
given square deal before the con-
vention, and that any kind of combin-
ing between the contending forces for
the nomination of certain men should
not be permitted. If certain man is
the choice of the people, why let him
have the place that is rightfully his.

VESSELS SHORT

Captain Of Mount Temple Testifes
That He Was Held Back BY
Ice Field.

Washington, April 27.-Two steam

short distance from the Titanic when
the liner sank, according to the testi-
mony of Capt James Moore, of the
steamship Mount Temple Ice held
back the vessels hurrying to rescue.
The Mount Temple intercepted the
ritanic's call for help, said Captain
Moore, and Immediately turued to-
wards the crippled liner. On the way
they saw lights of a schooner within
a few miles of the wreck, coming from
that direction, when day broke to dis
close a great field of ice and no sign
of the Titanic. The Mount Temple
also saw a tramp steamer, but the
identity of neither the schooner nor
the tramp was fixed.

4 Large audience Enjoyed
Pupils Recital Last Night

The new High School Auditorium
was crowded last night to witness the
recital given by the pupils. It is
rare that such worthy entertainment
is given by amatuers. From the be-
ginning of the exercises until the close
there was not number that does not
deserve special praise.
Among the most deserving must be
mentioned the flag drill so gracefully
performed by bevy of pretty little
girls. There were selections by the
Boys Glee Club that received many
encores. The Girls Glee Club also
rendered most appropriate selections.
Too much credit cannot be given
Miss Lorena Thompson, the accom-
plished teacher Of music who drilled
the children in their various selec-
tions. They showed remarkable apti-
tude and the result of intelligent and
artistic training.
From a financial viewpoint the sue
cess was all that could be wished for.

HARDEST FIGHT DURING
FLOOD BEFORE ENGINEERS
Alarm Felt For Remaining Levees and
Worse Disasters Very Likely-Two
Foot Rise Noted at st. LOUIS
IN crevasse Waters Swell Stream.
(By associated Press.)

New Orleans, April 27.-A second
rise in the already swollen Mississip-
pi river marking the return of the
west crevasse waters through Red riv-
er, started today. The government
gauge reading this morning showed a
rise of one tenth of foot at all points
south of Red river landing. The engi-
neers say the indications are
that all irver points south
of Torras will experience the
most rapid rise ever recorded. A
jump upward of a foot and half in
ten days is predicted. This would
give New Orleans a foot above the
previous high record and at some
points north of here the excess over
the previous record may reach two
feet or more.
Government observations today
showed that Mississippi flood waters
are travelling at a rate of eight feet
per second, almost one mile an hour
faster than ever before known. This
great increase in the floods force
gives added apprehension for safety of
the remaining levees. The engineers
still express hopefulness of winning
in the hardest fight they ever had, but
not even they can give guarantees in
the face of the unknown volume Of
water which the Red river will turn
back from the Dogtail and Panther
Forest creyasses.
There are furthermore two added
alarming features to be reckoned with,
when the crevasse waters on the east
side begin to pour back through the
Sundower and Yazoo rivers and the
new rapid rise in the upper Missis-
sippi which today ran the gauge at St.
Louis up nearly two feet.

an intimate friend of William T.

Stead believed, said Mr. Eagan, that

THREE KILLED BY
M. & 0. TRAIN

Shannon, Miss, April 27.-Miss Don
ME Johnston, aged 20 years; Bedford
Johnston, IS, her brother, and David
Watts, 2S, were instantly killed by a
southbound Mobile and Ohio freight
train last night at Coonewah trestle,
near here.
Three couples of young people were
coming to Shannon from their homes
in the country. They rode in buggies
to within a mile of town, and on ac-
count of impossible roads left their
buggies, proceeding on foot down the
railroad.
1t is supposed they failed to hear
the train, and evidently the train
crew did not see them. They were
travelling south, facing a strong wind,
and the train was approaching from
the north.
Miss Johnston and Watts are re-
ported to have been engaged to be
married.
The three other members of the
party escaped without injury.

cials of the N. o., NJ. &C. railroad
have announced that the contract for
the construction of the mammoth new
freight and passenger depot has been
awarded to w. NJ. Carter of this city.

edifice were completed a short time
ago, and the building is to be one of
the largest and handsomest in the

the present freight equipment is in
adequate.
The new railroad shops of the com
pany have just been completed and all
the latest mechanical conveniences

Roosevelt Answers Taft's Denuneia-

The President Says He Was Forced
to Fight if He Has Any Manhood.

Worcester, Mass, April 27.-Merci-
less denunciation of President Taft
was Col Roosevelt's reply to the Pres
ident's attack upon him Thursday.
Some of Col Roosevelt's assertions
were:
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country "a square
deal" but that, owing to quality of
feebleness," he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter-
ests."
That one part of the Presidents at
tack upon him was "the crookedest
kind of a DEAL" and deliberate mis-
representation"
That the President "has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to our past friendship, but has
been disloyal to every canon of ordi-
nary decency and fair dealing, such as
should obtain even in dealing with a
mans bitterest opponets."
That the Presidet's statements re-
garding the influence of Federal Of
fceholders in the campaign was mot
only an untruth, but it is an absurd
untruth."
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself OF
insincerity when he signed the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill.
That in speaking of Col. Roosevelt's
position in regard to the trust prob
lem, President Taft 'is himself guilty
of a crooked deal"
Col. Roosevelt, in part, said:
'Tn this campaign, regard the is
sues at stake as altogether too import
ant to permit it to be twisted into one
of personality between President Taft
and myself. But Mr.. Taft's speeches
yesterday contained statements that I
must answer. Most Of what he said
needs no comment from me. When, for
instance, he said that have enedavor-
ed to minimize the Importance Of my

must know to be untrue.
