Memphis, Tenn. April 20.--A spe- cial train left Memphis tonight for Washington, bearing business men of Tennessee, Arkansas and Missis- sippi who, with delegations, expect ed in the national capital Monday from Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Louisiana, will invite an official par ty to cruise down the Mississippi that they may see what a flood in the valley means and thus prove the ne- cessity for emergency legislation. The members of the commerce committee of. the senate and of the rivers and harbors committee of the house are to be invited to be the guests of the business men of the seven states di- rectly interested, and it may be that other official personages will also be invited. It is proposed to take the party on a cruise from Cairo to New Orleans. The Mississippi river com mission now en route on it's annual trip down the waterway has been ask ed to wait at Cairo for the Washing ton delegation.
 Congressman Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana, member of the committee in question, advised those interested here today he would arrive in Wash ington Monday with the Louisiana delegation. John A.

 BUT NOT FOOD
MARKED TREE RELIEF COMMIT. TEE MAKES ANSWER TO OUR
 OFFER OF RELIEF.
Situation We'll in Hand as to Food and Clothing, but Some 8ereft Farm
 CTS Need Help on New Start.

In that part of the flooded district around Marked Tree there is greater need for good seed corn than for any food or clothing, according to tele- gram received in this city yesterday by Chairman w. W. Waters of the relief committee here.
 Mayor Waters had sent three mes sages. as authorized by the commit tee here, offering help to Jonesboro, Marked Tree and Lake Village, Ar, kansas It had been reported there was distress at these points.
 Lake Village and Jonesboro had not answered the telegrams yesterday. but Marked Tree was heard from when W. B. Miller, chairman of the relief committee there, sent the fol- lowing message to Mayor Waters
 Limited States government caring for our people very nicely and sup pose will continue to do so until the flood subsidies. Water at it's highest now, and on standstill If you have and funds at your disposal, we would be glad to have you ship some good seed corn We hope to be able to make corn crop yet. We thank you for your offer of assistance"
 This is in keeping with the first report the local committee received. after it sent man to investigate condition along the water front. It was apparent then that everything was being well cared for and that if there was real help necessary it would come later. when the government re lief stops, and when the farmers want to return to their lands, but will need help in getting started over again.

 Further Like Disasters.

Little Rock, Ark, April 2O.-Into the Southland Colonel Roosevelt car ried his campaign today, coming to Arkansas after his trip through Ne braska and Kansas. He travelled all morning through Oklahoma and dur ing the last half of the day in the state making speeches by the way. Large crowds turned out to see the colonel
 In Little Rock tonight Colonel Roosevelt delivered his principal ad- dress of the day The others were all one minute talks from his car, except that at Fort Smith, Ark. where he spoke from a platform built over wagon in the middle of the street
 The crowd at Fort Smith was the largest of the day save that in Lit tie Rock. The noise produced by the joint efforts of the band, a score of mounted men dressed as cowboys, two locomotives at the station and the people, was so loud that the colonel, after several attempts, was obliged to give up the idea of making a po- iiticai speech, and merely waved his hat and shouted out that he was glad to see everybody.
 'G naturally think of the hound dog song when I'm in this town" said Roosevelt at Ozark T want to say that they've got to stop kiclun' my dog around because my dog bites"
 Colonel Roosevelt also made short speeches in several towns in Okla homa and Arkansas. In Russellyille, Ark, funeral, which had been set for an hour before the time for the colonel's arrival, was postponed until after he departed, because none of the men there would serve as pall- bearers until they had heard his speech.
 Colonel Roosevelt referred to the sinking of the Titanic in his speech here tonight. owing to an accident to the locomotive of his train, he did not reach Little Rock until nearly 9 o'clock, and was obliged to cut his speech short.
 ''We have all been shocked" he said. "by the terrible disaster to the Titanic. Many thousands of our peo- pie had personal friends on the ship. One of the men was formerly my aide. Major Butt, of my mothers state of Georgia. He died as he had lived like an officer and a gentleman, not thinking of himself, but of saving the lives of women and children.
 Under the English workman's compensation act the widows and or. phans of every sailor on that ship will be compensated for the loss of the breadwinners, whereas in the state of New York, for which that ship was bound, the court of appeals has declared that the people of the state were powerless to enact such i law That decision is a blot upon American justice and American civili- zation and I shall never rest until it is oyerwritten and reversed"
 In explaining why he had visited Arkansas. Colonel Roosevelt said:
 q come to Arkansas because this is more than any mere factional fight in which l am engaged. We are

 Colonel Roosevelt also took up the subject of national conservation. speaking of the floods in Arkansas and other regions along the lower Mississippi.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT men HAVE VICIOUS FHT-BTER REPORTED

Robert II. Shields was elected tenn
porary chairman and went ahead
with the seating arrangements for
the delegates who still waited in the
street.
The opposing chairman attempted
at the same moment to open the con-
vention.
w. ID. Gordon, a Roosevelt man,
sprang to the stage and attempted to
address the convention: but he was
hurled from the stage by B. f. Cra-
mer, Taft man. The police and mi
litia forced back hundred men who
sought to engage in the fight precip-
itated by Gordon and Cramer.
All attempts to quiet the excited
delegates seemed useless.
Despite the great disorder, both the
Taft and Roosevelt forces attempted
at the same time to organize the con-
vention.
Two large policemen stood guard
over Former Senator Albert j. Bev-
eridge OF Indiana. who had been
swept back from his seat during the
Gordon-Cramer fight.
