tween Baton Rouge and New Orleans
are being reported, and an army of
men is expected to strengthen them
:Ntional gurdsmen are gurding the
city levees at Baton Rouge, the state
capital. At New Orleans the Missis-
sippi has remained tationary, the Off
cial gauge at the foot Of Canal street
registering 81 10 feet above mean
Mlf level
The stationary condition Of the
Mississippi at N W Orleans is due to
the very great volume of water that
has been flowing out Of the river at
the Torras crevasse and through
those in the Atchafalaya river above
the point where it empties into the
Mississippi. Below New Orleans as
far as Forts St. Phillip and Jackson
the levees are reported to be in fairly
good condition.
A close watch is being kept on
them, however. and every precautlon
is being taken. Many of the largest
and richest sugar plantations in the
state are situated on the Mississippi
in that territory, and break at any
of those points would result in the
loss of many more millions Of dollars.
From ire offices of the government
engineers, reassuring messages are
being sent. Government engineers say
the situation is much more hopeful.

It is natural for a child to laugh and
play and when it sulks drowsily or
cries you may depend on it something
physical is the matter. II you see no
evidences of a serious ailment you
will not be wrong if you quietly give
it dose of mild laxative that evening
on putting it to bed.
The remedy most generally recon-
mended for this purpose is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, which mothers
throughout the entire country have
been giving their children for quar-
ter of century. To-day thousands of
families are using it where hundreds
used it then, and there must be good
reason for this word of mouth recon-
mendation.
1t is admittedly the perfect laxative
for children, women, old people and
all others who need a gentle bowel
stimulant and not a violent salt, cath
artic pill or doctored water. DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin will act gently,

FLOOD DAMAGE
SliQht Break at EIba is Check.
i0a the Peril Is Now
Announced

NEW ORLEANS, May 10.-Witl
S72 square miles Of the state OF Lou
isiana inundated the flood situation
insofar as further breaks in the Mis-
sissippi or tributary streams in thu
state are concerned, is still un
changed
Already, however, the flood has ex
ceeded by 10 per cent all previous rec
ords. Agricultural damage is esti
mated at $15 per acre, or a total Of
~ 500,000.
The levee on the west side of the
Atchafalaya river at Elba, five miles
north of Melville, has sloughed off and
water was flowing over freely FOL
some time. The persons who re-
manned in that section were panic
stricken. N. G. Richard of the Atch
afalaya levee board, tonight declared
the dangerous sloughing had been
checked.
Government repots reaching here
are to the effect that relief exped
tons are just beginning to reach the
flood sufferers Of the vicinity OF
TOrras, where the greatest break oil
the year has occurred. But little is
definitely known of conditions exist
ing among those persons who are
camped on housetops in tle Torras
neighborhood, since the rescuers have
been unable to reach them and report
Fifty Lives Lost at Torras.
AT Torras the loss of life is official
ly estimated at fifty persons; at Alsa-
tia one is known to have died from
exposure and two are missing.
Hard rains fell and all along the
river as far north as Torras and
showers continued. In the face of
these conditions labor did not count
much in the fight against an ever ris-
ing flood stage. Negroes refused to
work in the rain unless furnished a
generous supply of WHISKY, and even
then they could do very little.
Increased forces of labors were dis
patched to the weak sections between
Morganza and New Roads. others
were sent to Plaquemine. and 250 adj
ditional men were put to work on a
bad stretch of 5000 feet at Amesville,
five miles north of New Orleans. on
the opposite sdie # he river.
The levees still were holding at
Baton Rouge, and the people who
have made an heroic fight there
against great odds feel more encour'

SEAMAN FROM
titanic TALKS

LONDON, May 10.-Testifying be
fore the board of trade commission
investigating the wreck Of the Titan
ic today, J. Poingderstre, a seaman
declared that in the boat in which hi
escaped from the sinking liner there
were forty women and children to
gether with one other seaman. al
though the craft was capable of car
rying at least sixty-five persons.
He explained that the officer IL
charge of that station had the boa
lowered away before it was loaded t
it's capacity for fear the boat fall!
would not stand the strain.
Poingderstre declared he could hav'
saved some of the people in the wat
er crying piteously for help had hi
had more help at the oars.
BuIkhead Gave Way.
He told a graphic story Of expert
ences aboard the Titanic before hi
made Off in the life boat to which hi
had been assigned. He said bulk
head between the crews quarters
and those of the third-class passen
gers gave way from the pressure Of
the water an hour after the accident
There was a rush of second and third
class passengers as the boats were
being lowered, according to the wit
ness, and this interfered with the
work OF the crew.
Steward James tombstone told the
commission that many women, after
being summoned on deck, returned tc
the saloon, not realizing the danger
He was certain, he said, that he saw
lights before he left the Titanic, but
these soon disappeared.
Fireman Barrett told of fire in
one of the coal bunkers and the flood
ing of a water-tight compartment i'm
mediateAy after the ship struck the
iceberg.
A. to Third Glass.
The examination thus far is signi.
ficant because it shows the govern.
ments determination to discover what
steps were taken to get of the third
class passengers. The main points
brought out in the general inquiry
were that the ship was going at full
speed, that no boat drills had been
held; that some of the sailors did not
know their stations, and that the
boats were inadequately manned and
directed, and were not provided with
lights, compasses, water or rations.

urday night John Downs and Ira
Sampson, two young farmers living
near here, started a riot that came
near ending seriously and which call
ed out the authorities before it could
be stopped Both men were placed
under heavy bail and lodged in the
Jail at Georgetown by State Detec-
tive Frederick Walls, despite the Of
forts of their friends to rescue them.
At one time more than 100 men, arm
ed with shotguns and rifles, guarded
the two men and, in the general fight
surrounding their capture, several
shots were fired and several officers
were battered although no one was
seriously wounded
The difficulty had been brewing for
some time on account of the practice
of a number of country boys coming
into Greenwood ever Saturday night
and, after getting drunk, shooting
recklessly. On Saturday night the
trouble began early when Downs and
Sampson, with party of friends,
charged through the streets Of the
town. An effort was made to arrest
them. but the town officers were
driven back and the party continued
the disorder
A hurried meeting of Council was
held and Justice of the Peace John
Gibson was instructed to deputize
several of the able-bodied citizens of
the town. Selling shot-guns and
rifles, the citizens closed upon the re-

son were taken away from their

Soon friends passed axes in be-

and the two men started to batter the
walls down. An armed guard was
quickly spread around the building
with orders 10 shoot If the men broke
out. This determined stand somewhat
stopped the rioters, but another crowd
soon formed, determined to take the
two men from the Jail
In the meantime State and county
officers had been notified and a big

when friends of the imprisoned men
were getting ready to fight The com
