 It was announced that a steamer had already lefs Helena for Lake Village with enough rations to last the people of that place for three weeks. The steamer is due to arrive at Vaucluse, near Lake Village, on the Mississippi today al noon. Mayor Toney also sent call fer relief to Governor Donaghey, wl.o i'll turn asked the government authorities at Helena and Memphis to relieve the suffering.
 "The refugees here," said Mayor las. night, "are penniless and with out provisions. We are doing all we can to relieve them, but the situat on is critical tonight. We don't want to ask any of our neighbors for help if We could avoid it. l called on the Federal and ssate governments first and then if they do not respond suf- ficiently I shall ask for a'd from Pine Bluff Little Rock and other cities I believe however that I can handle the situation at present.
 q fear that hundreds of peAple have been drowned in the lowlan'ds. l We sent out danger notices through out the day yesterday and hundreds of people came into Lake Village, but many people on the farms around th's place could not be reached in time and some'of them may have per- ished when the levee broke. We are sending out skiffs and motor boats tonight with lanterns in an ef- fort to rescue persons and more will be sent out tomorrow"
 Citizens Call For -HeIp
 At Akansas City, where the citi- zens continue to fight valiantly against the threatened invasion' of the raging waters of the ssissippi, the levee was still holding last night, though it was thought to be weaken- ing in several places. As fasa as the wor rkmen pile sacks into a crevasse another weak place shows up and the game battle Is repeated.
 The back water was flowing through the streets of the town last night fooh deep in some places and the people have about given up hopes of escaping the flood entirely.
 Practically all the residents have moved to second stories of buildings and a distress call was sent into the government officials at Memphis and Helena. Relief boats are on their way and will reach there probably Saturday morn ng at an early hour
 The break in the levee eighteen miles below Arkansas City may flood that section adjacent to Arkansas City, but at present none of the waters from that, opening have ap- peared at Arkansas City, although reports from the lowlands South of that place are to the effect that the country is becoming inundated and that great damage is being done to- rroperty. A heavy loss of live stock S reported and some people are be- lieyed to have been drowned.
 Goyernment engineers say that Mc- Gehee will begin to feel the bad eff fects of the flood Saturday morning as the waters from the Luna Land ing crevasse are moving in that sec tion at rapid rate.

Memphis, Tenn., April 12.-Wirt communication with Luxora, Oceol; taand Marked Tree were lost early to- day because of the rising waters sub merging the wires. Last reports from these points were that the situation was critical but the levees were hold ing
 Telegrams to United States Senator Clarke from Arkansas were forward ed today by the St. Francis Levee Board asking him to take up with the Federal authorities the question of distributing corn aud cotton seed for Spring planting.
 The last report from Marked Tree was that the water was rising at the rate of half an inch an hour. All of the inhabitants have been moving to higher ground all day. Marked Tree lies in the Golden Lake dssrct, where the levee broke several days ago.
 In LuXora women and children were taken to the highest point which lies mostly under the level with the top of the leve. The men of LuXora are fighting desperately to hold the levee intact. Major Smith, U. S engl- neer, stated today that the situation in Luxora and Oceola was mos serl- ous. Major Smith sent boat With 10 900 sacks and other equipments 10 Wyanoke Landing today. These will be used to prevent the water from coming back over the levee but the base is very weak. Major Smith says tho cross section of the levee IS un- der standard for several miles. He regards the slow fall of the river at Cairo as serious sign.
 The relief expected from the ere vases already made is very little, ne says. as the water back of the leyee is, about on level with the river for a mile or so back. However further in there is still swift current over the lowlands and the flood water ls many feet under the river at that distance from the levec
 Major Smith believes that the most severe test of the lower ievee Will oc- cur near Greenville or Helena.
 Tn Steam City of St. Joseph left for Helena this afternoon with thous- ands of army rations and 100 large tents. A number of negroes were rounded up by police inspectors ana forced on the boat. They will be put to work on the levees.
 Reports, which it is impossible to confirm, are to the effect that hs groes in many parts of the Delta are kept from fleeing at the point oi shotguns. The planters regard the possibility of losing their labor sup ply as serious as the chance of q flood. The same situation is sad 10 exist at various points aDove Mem phis.

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-04-13

With a roar that was heard for miles tie Mississippi river broke E through the levee at Luna Landing Arkansas, yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock and the flood waters were sweeping westward in all direct ons last night, doing inestimable damage and drowning live stock and probably many people. The crevasse had been looked for all day, as the levee was known to be given way and al- though desperate efforts were made Tdo check the swollen stream, it won out in it's fght against hundreds of men who worked like beavers along the levee to save the country to the west.
 Lake Village, six miles north Of Luna Landing, is inundated and the residents of that town were forced to flee to the lake front, where there is some high ground and two story buildings, long before the flood waters from the M ssissippi reached there. At 8 o'clock last night the water was eight feet deep in the main street and many homes had been swept away, as we'll as bus mess houses damaged. No loss of life was reported from that sec>ion last night, but Mayor 2. P. Toney stated over the sphone at late hour shat he believed many lives have been lost in the lowlands East Of Lake Village, as all of the people could not be warned in time to leave Ethe.r homes for shelter.
 The back waters from Amos Bayou,
 below Redfork, on the Arkansas river, began to flow into Lake Vil-
 lage early yesterday afternoon, fil
 ling the streets for four feet of
 water. Later when it was apparent
 that human hands could not save the
 levee at Luna Landing the residents
 of Lake Village began moving their household goods into two story
 buildings on the Lake Eont and hun dreds of them were be1Gg housed
 last night in the Chicot county court
 house, the school houses and other
 two story structures nearby.
 The ] rushing waters that came
 through Luna Landing .crevasse
 reached Lake Village at 8 . o'clock
 last night and at last reports the
 water was still rising in the town. Mayor Toney, who is a brother to the
 Toneys of this city, stated that the
 water would reach nine CT ten feet by this morning. He said his home
 with that of many other residents
 would be swept away before morning and that while no loss of live had
 been reported, he believed that the property loss would affect everry es ident in that section of the state,
 and would be heavy.
 When the Luna Landing levee gave way Mayor Toney wired the govern ment officials at Helena for aid. Five hundred refugee families ar-
 rived in Lake Village from the low
 lands during the day and they were cared for as much as possible last

All train service in tEat neigb- borhood had heen abandoned and many m.les Of tracks of the Iron Mountain road in all directions are under water. The only way out of Afkansas City last night was by boat.
 The situation is more critical a.t Arkansas City last night than at any previous time and for the first time since the Mississippi began to rise have the citizens given up hope of being able to escape tie flood. Manv or the people have been working day and night for ten or twelve days, without sleep or rest of any k nd.
