Taft and Roosevelt Make
Closing Arguments Be-

President Charges That Colonel

| Elkton, Nd, May 4.-Speaking be.
i fore several hundred persons here to-
i day, President Taft for the first time
since he began his attacks on Theo,
dore Roosevelt strongly intimated
/ that much of the support the Colonel
! is receiving comes from the trusts and
I the Interests"
Taft Hands Colonel One.
Mr.. Roosevelt says | am owned by
! the interests said Mr. Taft What
attempted to do in my administra
| tion was to carry out Mr.. Roosevelt 5
policies, and one of those policies
| thought to be the prosecution of the
! trusts under the antitrust law, and SO
gave orders to the attorney general
| to prosecute every trust that he found
violating the law and the only differ
ence between Mr.. Roosevelt and my
self is that l prosecuted the steel
| trust and | prosecuted the harvester
( trust and he did not.
Roosevelt Changed Mind.
Nov l am not making any charges
against Mr.. Roosevelt because he did
not. He changed his mind about the
operation of the antitrust law, and
he thinks now that it's operation is not
good, and he criticizes NE because
prosecuted the STANDARD Oil Com
ipany, and the tobacco trust through
to the supreme court and got DEGREES
there. He says these DEGREES are no.
worth anything.
Trusts Are Not lntimidated.
"Mr. George Perkins, director OF
the harvester trust and a director OF
the steel trust, says the prosecutions
do not amount to anything. He may
think so now, but when he wrote let
ters urging that no suit be brought
against the harvester trust, he thought
that prosecution might injure them.
Taft Took Only Course Open.
"In Mr.. Roosevelt's present attitude
suppose | had refused to prosecute the
steel trust and that | had refused to
prosecute the harvester trust; suppose
that there came out statement show
| ing that Mr. Perkins had said: If you
prosecute us we will fight; and then
subsequently they were not prosecut-
ed then, after that, suppose you found
that Mr.. Perkins had contributed large
ly to the campaign fund of myself,
what do you think Mr.. Roosevelt
would have said of me. Would he not
have come down on me with a thou
sand of brick and said Here now you
see he is controlled by the interests.
And yet Mr.. Roosevelt has the
courage, | shall not call it anything
else, has the courage after that chap
ter to charge me with being under
the particular control of the inter-
ests."

Alarming Reports.

conditions in the lower Mississippi
valley continue today to grow worse.
No one, not even those who have dealt
with similar problems, wiz forecast
the outcome of the passing of the
greatest volume of water ever record
ed i'll the great stream. At New Or
leans today the former record was
buried by almost a foot. The water
at Torras, Louisiana, is pouring
through a levee crevasse with an ever
widening gap and another breach is
threatened there.
Deeply Submerged.
Reports from the inundated section
rorth of New Roads are of a gloomy
character. The flood water is travel
ing at rapid rate towards the Atcha-
line of the Texas and Pacific railroad.
A telephone message from Lettsworth
early today said the town was deep
Under water and hundreds of persons
iii the surrounding country are mar
ooned in their homes. in cotton gin
houses, and on housetops. Motor
boats have been sent to Lettsworth for
rescue work A special train arrived
at New Roads last night with several
hundred refugees from the deluged
country. A relief expedition arrived at
Bachelor, ten miles south of Torras
last night with large number of vic
tins who We're on the verge of star
vation.
Fight to Save Rich Lands.
Conditions at Baton Rouge are hour
ly growing more menacing. A force
of one thousand men worked all night,
aided by searchlights on steamboats,,
trying to prevent break directly in
front of that city. Another large force
was engaged in closing up the gaps in
the protection embankment just south
of Baton Rouge, where it is hoped to
prevent the waters from finding their
way to the rich sugar lands in the
Pontchertrain district in the event the
fight to save the main levee is lost.
Baton Rouge is built on a bluff and
a crevasse there would not do serious
damage except to the wholesale Sec
ton. Bayou Sara, where break oc-
CURED yesterday, is today under water
10 to 25 feet deep.
Refugees Quarrel
Vicksburg, Miss, May 4.-There has
been much suffering among the food
refugees of the Black River district in
Louisiana. Up to this time, there has
been comparatively little disorder in
the concentration camps, but last
night there was a row in white
refugee camp here Four white men
got into dispute with a passing ne
gro and he shot all four. Probably
they will survive.
Bixby Reports Serious Conditions.
Washington, D. c., May 4.-Condi-
tions in the flooded regions of the low
er Mississippi are serious, according
to reports today to General Bixby,
chief of engineers. AS a result of the
Torras break, two parishes are certain
to be flooded. The water was report
ed to be within two feet of the top of
the levees in Plaqumine parish.
A Born Optmst.
General Bixby pointed out there
was one redeeming feature about the
situation which was that it probably
disposed of the dreaded June floods
as this year the Missouri flood has
come down earlier than usual. In
General BiXby's opinion there will be
no June foods.
