LEVFE BREAKS
AT ARK. CITY
LAKE VILLAGE IN PERIL
SITUATION IN SOUTHEAST AR
KANSAS GROWS MORE DES-
PERATE DAILY.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Marshal w. E. Clibourn received a
telegram from Charles Davidson this
afternoon that the levee at Arkansas
City broke this morning, and the town
was inundated.
Little Rock, April 12.-"By Satur-
day morning we fear that Lake Viii
lage will be swept away" was the
startling message received by Cover
nor Donaghey Friday afternoon, from
Attorney Will Kirten, over long-dist-
ance telephone.
Mr.. Kirten said the levee had boken
and the rush of waters was inundat-
ing the city, being already three feet
deep in the railroad station. The peo-
pie were in a panic, and immediate as
sistance was imperative. 1t was fear
ed that the town would be destroyed,
just as Napoleon was years ago at the
mouth of White river.
AT the same time is was reported
that the water was running over the
top of the levee at Helena, and that a
break was momentarily expected.
Earlier in the day messages had
been received from o. N. Killough,
president of the St. Francis Levee
District; Mayor J. L. Dean of Lux
ora, Mayor j. j. Ledbetter of Blythe
vile and others to the effect that the
engineers had give up the fight; that
the levees were in imminent danger of
! breaking, and should they go out,
there would be great loss of life as
well as property. They reported that
the resources of the levee board are
exhausted, and that the local levee
engineers are worn out, leaving the cit
liens to cope with the situation The
water had not yet begun to recede and
they expected fight of many days
duration. For this reason, they urged
that U. S. engineers at Memphis send
experienced men to assist in the work,
as they could not hold out much
longer.
Governor Donaghey wired Lienten-
ant Hanna, U. S. A., who is in charge
of the government relief work at
| Wynne, Forrest City, Mariana and
Helena, to extend his scope of opera
tons to include Lake Village, Arkan-
sas City, Luxora and Blytheville.
Requests for aid for Lake Village
and Arkansas City were sent to Majs.
Smith and Normoyle. Governor Don
aghey is in constant touch with the
situation, and while he has no availa-
bic state funds with which to provide
relief, the services of the state guard
/ are at the command of those in need
for relief purposes, and the governor
is doing much in directing the relief
campaign. He has been in the over
flowed district once, and expects to go
again soon.

CONFIDENT ARKANSAS
WILL VOTE DRY.

Little Rock, April 12.-The annual
meeting of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon
League concluded it's session Thurs
day night with a stirring address by
"Cyclone' Davis of Texas. There
were about $50 delegates in attend
ance and the interest was intense.
The following officers were elected:
President, George Thornburgh Gre

Ball of Little Rock, A. A. Whissen

Stuttgart; secretary, B A. Few of

Edenburn, J. A. Anderson, c. r.
Powell, M. P. Matheny, c. E. ORA
per, Robert L. Selle, Little Rock; A.
C. Millar, Conway; T. C. White,
Pine Bluff.
The convention declined to take any
action with reference to the grand
father clause, which the negroes are
opposing. The negroes asked the
league to go on record against it, with
the understanding that they would
support statewide prohibition.
The convention acted favorably up
on the following recommendations by
Superintendent Barrett:
That the state be divided into five
districts with district superintend-
ent in charge of each.
That a campaign button or badge
be adopted, also an official seal for
the use of the league.
That one Sunday in the near future
be set apart as statewide day to be
observed in all the churches.
The superintendent reported that
already enough names had been filed
to initiate the law, but that it is pro-
posed to secure $4,000 if possible.
IA careful survey of the field,' says
DR.. Barrett, warrants the statement
that the day of our opportunity has
at last come to make Arkansas a dry
state. Our forces are better organ
lied than ever before and our re-
sources are at our command now
which have not heretofore been avail
able"
