SPECIAL TRAINS RUSH TO AID OF
 FLOOD VICTIMS


 New Orleans, May 3.-water from the swollen Mississippi began to lap over the levee at two points in New Orleans, today. At the foot of Es- plande avenue, in the heart of the fashionable residence section, the wa ters were thread ling to break over and also at the foot of Canal street, the chief business thoroughfare.
 Small breaks in the levee were quickly repaired and several gangs of men who are piling bags about the wall have the situation we'll in hand. The danger may not pass, however. for several days.
 The water is even with the tops of the levees at Baton Rouge and a des- perate fight to control the flood is now on. More than 1,500 convicts at the Angola State Farm could have escaped, last night, but none attempt ed to gain their liberty. Governor Sanders was present when the levee broke.
 Government rations are being given out at Baton Rouge and it is estimat- ed that 8 total of 115,OO0 persons are being cared for there and at other rescue camps. Thousands will be aid- ed to this number.
 Fifteen parishes had flooded before the Torras break and eigkt more are now threatened.

Britain'S Probe : of Titanic Wreck
 Formally Begun

London, May 3--The demand of the Seafarers' Union that it be permitted to be represented at the governmental Titanic inquiry which has been held in abeyance was granted by Lord Mersey, president of the court, today. Attorneys for the union pointed out that 151 members of the organization had lost their lives in the disaster and that because of possible damage suits and also because there might be 8 dis position on the part of officials of the White Star line to shift responsibility to dead men they were entitled to rep resentation.
 When the proceedings began today Attorney General Isaacs formally opened the case, presenting the known facts.
 The first witness was Lookout Archie Jewell. He testified that he went on watch in the crows nest for g. relief trick at 9:30 and was warned to watch for ice but saw none up to the time that he was relieved at 10 o'clock.
 Jewell said the lifeboats were not provided with cornpasses and lights and that he saw no provisions in them. Joss Carrott described the lowering of the boats. He declared that 20 for eigners tried to get into his boat and that to frighten them off the chief of- ficer fired his revolver.

 Therefore. Be it resolved by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Congress, in convention as- remain loyal citizens of the United States and to support those in au- thority in every laudible, lawful and legal way, we do hereby announce our conviction that in so aiding the beverage liquor traffic by their per- sistent endorsement of the said brew ers' congress in the face of our most have forfeited all claim and future franchise of the Christian and sober manhood of the nation.'
 The reading of this resolution was followed by scenes. of disorder as an attempt was made to postpone action. The resolution was then declared adopted amid cheers with a rising vote.
 When the excitement subsided the reading of the Episcopal address, be- gun yesterday, was resumed and the address was finished. Aside from matters of international interest in the church the address made a strong plea against predatory wealth and went on record as returning to the general statement of John Wesley re- garding amuscments in place of later church rule specifically forbidding certain amusements. The re-esta b. lishment of a definite five year term for pastorates was also advised.
 The statement on the amusement question said:
 Compulsory good behavior is not the license of religion. Just where persuasion and exhortation would give space to statutory law in dealing with specified amusements is the crucial point in current discussion on the subject. For hundred years Metho- dism followed MT. Wesley's methods.
 "Our bishops still hold to every word submitted to the general con- ference through Bishop Floss in 1904 and adopted into the chapels of ad- vices. We would make it stronger If words could do so. But we cannot repress our convictions that John Wesley dealt more wisely with the dangers which he simply prescribed such diversions as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus"

MITCHELL SAYS
 IMMIGRATION IS
 MENACE TO LABOR

New York, May 3-Vice President John Mitchell of the American Fedora tion of Labor, has issued an official statement to the effect that unrestrain- ed immigration has the effect of mak- ing labor laws a dead letter. From the newly arrived immigrants" he said. "the managers of affairs, the leaders in commercial life, the polite ians and lawmakers, the editorial fra = ternity, the landowners, all are in no immediate danger of competition; hence these classes but remotely feel the effects of immigration, other than such as are apparently beneficial to themselves through the cheapness of labor. But the sole avenue of en- trance to America for perhaps 99 per cent. of the immigrants being through the unskilled labor market, this to wage earners is the fact of all facts relative to immigration"

59 BODIES BURIED AT HALIFAX TODAY Unidentified Titanic Dead
 Could Not Be Kept
 Longer
 Services at Catholic and Protestant Churches = Graves. Carefully Marked

Halifax, N. s., May S.-Impressive services for the Titanic dead were held, today, in St. Mary's Cathedral and in the Brunswick Street Metho- dist Church, which were attended by all of the Halifax officials and by ail of the mourners who have been here seeking their lost. Soon afterward 59 bodies, some identified, other uniden- tified, were buried in the two ceme teries here. Many of the bodies could not be kept longer and it was necessary that they be buried to avoid danger of an epidemic.
 Each grave was carefully marked A complete description of every body was filed with the registrar of deaths and another will be held at the White Star offices in New York. Photo graphs of the features are attached so that friends may later identify the unknown dead if possible.
 Halifax, N. s., May 3-A wireless message from the steamer Minia to the White Star line, today, stated that the bodies of two more of the Titanic victims had been recovered from the sea. They were those of Joseph Fin ney, rubber merchant of Liverpool. and Thomas Mullin. steward. Captain DeCartert said nothing further about returning to Halifax so it is assumed that i.e will arrive here, Monday, as he planned, yesterday.

Wilson's s Chances In Connecticut
 Seen By Malone
Brilliant Young Orator Be- lieves New Jersey Cover
 nor Is Strong Here

Surface indications would point to a majority of delegates for Champ Clark as the outcome of the presi.' dential primaries in Massachusetts" said Dudley Field Malone of New York. who managed Woodrow Will sons fight in the Bay State, and who was in attendance at the Democratic state convention in Bridgeport yester- day. But" continued Mr. Malone as he talked with a Farmer reporter, "f am confident that Wilson will go to the national convention at Baltimore with larger number of delegates from Massachusetts than Champ Clark.
 There are many people who do not stop to consider the compliment tary vote given to Gov Foss. The peculiar conditions that have arisen because of the odd primary laws in the state conceal Wilson's real strength"
 MT. Malone, who spoke during the afternoon at the dollar dinner was asked during the interview how he sized up the Connecticut situation. He expressed his belief that Wilson had as good a show as Clark in these words: T am satisfied that Wilson will get a good representation from this state and feel optimistic of his outlook so far as Connecticut is con- cerned. I am keenly impressed with the harmony that. has prevailed at this convention and if the harmony here is only a prototype of the Dem- ocratic national convention in Balti- more we shall surely see a Demo- cratic president in the White House next year, as well as a Democratic majority both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. Yes, believe that Wilson is very strong throughout the state.'
 Glancing at the headlines of New York newspaper which quoted George Fred Williams of Boston as saying that the outcome of the Massachu- setts primaries settled things so far as the Democratic nomination was concerned, in favor of Clark, MT. Malone laughingly stated: George Fred Williams was the worst beaten Democrat in Massachusetts and don't think that he has any right to make prophecy as to what will be done at the national convention"
 Mir. Malone is a clean-cut young man with an oratorial ability that created q profound impression among those who heard him at the dinner in the afternoon. He Is son-in-law of Senator O'Gorman of New York and corporation counsel for New York city.

 The defense has so far carefully guarded its plans for combating the conspiracy allegations.
 Attorney Willis, today, however, in- timated that his side expected to show that the killing of Attorney Foster. with which. Allen is charged, was done by either Eidna Allen or Wesley Ed wards, the only two members of the Allen gang still at liberty.
