Death of John |. Whittent0n.

Died at his residence west of the city, Tuesday morning, MT John l.. Whittenton, after short illness.
 The announcement of his death Tuesday morning was the first intima- tion his many friends in the city had of MT. Whittenton ever being seriously ill, much less victim of the dread Angel of Death, and was received with profound sorrow and regret.
 The remains were laid to rest in the Forrest City Cemetery at o'clock Tuesday afternoon, under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World, and a large number of his friends paid their last tribute by their attendance.
 MT. Whittenton was 1 years of age at the time of his death, was born in Tennessee, but practically lived in St. Francis county all his life, and leaves countless number of friends to mourn the loss of true brother and staunch friend, with whom The Times joins in extending condolences to the bereaved ones left behind
 MT. Whittenton leaves a wife and nine children, four boys and five girls.

$SO,OOO,OOO TO
 REBUILD LEYEES, Humphreys Bill Also Provides For
 Revetment Work.
CONTINUE WORK THREE YEARS.
If Plan Carried Out, Leyee Will Be
 Strong Enough.

Washington, D. C., May g 9-Repre- sentative Humphreys, of Mississippi, today introduced in the house bill appropriat ing Sl0, GOO 900 for each of the years 1913, 1914 and 1915, for the repair and building of levees on the Mississippi river and it's tributaries The bill provides that slO, ,000, 900 shall be carried in the next rivers and har- bors bill and that the secretary of war be authorized to contract for the continuance of the work during the two succeeding years at the same rafe. Seven millions is set apart for levee construction and three millions Tor revetment work for each of the years provided for. Heretofore about s60, ,00O, ,000 have been raised by the various local leyee boards along the river and put into the levees, and dur ing that time the federal govern ment has spent about $25, ,OOO. .OOO for the same purpose. The chief of engi- neers has estimated that thirty-two or three million dollars more will be required to complete the whole levee system on both banks of the river from Cape Giradeau Mo, to the gulf, and 1t is the hope of Mr Humphreys to induce congress to provide two thirds of this amount instead of re- quiring the local boards to raise the two-thirds as heretofore.
 If this bill is accepted by con- gress, he said today, i've will be able in the next three years to raise all the levees to the grade and sec tion of the Dabney line, and l be- ieve will hold flood as big as the one just passed. Three million an- nually will enable the commission to prosecute the revetment work, which is just as essential as levee building, and seven million year for three years ought to enable the localities to get their levees up to grade"
 Senator Foster, of Louisiana, has called a meeting of all the congress men and senators from the lower river, when it is expected a general line of action will be agreed upon and a campaign inaugurated which will bring the matter so forcefully before congress next winter as to assure success.
 Senator Percy sad he heartily in- dorsed the Humphreys bill and be- lieved all the river interests should get behind it and bring every in- fiuence possible to bear on congress in its favor from now until next December, when the matter will come up for final action. The bill was referred to the rivers and harbors committee of which MT. Humphreys is one of the ranking members.

ambition to become great singer
for she had sweet voice and she
wanted to attain greatness CT some

to the old home that there was no

would be mayor of New York city.
And Eileen had displayed as much
ambition on her side. II will be a

Her letters from various European
cities had borne out this promise. His
