PLANTATION HANDS
RIDE ALL NIGHT TO
WARN INHABITANTS

Shreveport, La, April 14.--The
Mississippi levee for miles along
here presents a wierd scene tonight.
Fires, made of driftwood, dot the
embankment, on which refugees are
roasting carcasses Of beef for food
Meanwhile the work of rescue pro-
ceeds in the back country. Volun-
teers in launches and skiffs have
saved nearly a thousand persons
since the Salem levee broke Friday.
Tugs and steamboats, are bringing
them to Vicksburg. Tents have been
ordered sent here for their use. 9
The inhabitants have been driven
out from a territory embracing one
hundred square miles, in two days.
The cause was a fifteen foot wall OF
water, fifty feet wide, that suddenly
burst through the levee Of Salem.
Friday, inundating within twenty
minutes, two miles of farm land.
Ahead OF this mighty rush of water
rode score of negroes, from plan
tation, mounted on mules and
horses. They rode all night through
the darkness and rain, as fast as
their mules could gallop, warning
the inhabitants to fee, until, over
taken by the rising tide they were
forced to fee for their own lives.

Sails to control the water supply for

One thinks usually Of a valve as
a small mechanical detail, but these
there is one for each turbine

tons apiece One was recently photo

operated by steel gates, designed for
a pressure Of so pounds to the square
inch, or total of half million
pounds.
At present, demand for electricity
in Canada is not large. and there Is
a law restricting its importation to
this country to 10000 horsepower.
This law was passed to protect the
Horseshoe cataract. but under the
new waterways treaty this restric-
ton is removed, and the same result
is assured in more definite way by
limiting the water diversion to such
a small proportion of the total flow
that the beauty of the Falls cannot
be impaired The limitation was
fixed by the treaty-makers after
tests by engineering experts.
1t is expected, therefore, that re-
strictions upon the importation Of
may be done away with
and American industries allowed TO
profit by power developed on the
Canadian side. Otherwise. accord
ing to Gen. RiXhy, chief of engi-
neers, United States army. who test-
fed recently before a committee OF

which may be developed under the

If woman suffrage is the fail
ure the anti-suffragists say it is
in California, why don't they
wipe it out of the constitution?
They have the referendum in
that State, and could easily doit.
If woman suffrage is a failure
in Australia, would the Austria
Ian Parliament after eleven
years, experience pass a unani-
nous resolution declaring it to be
a success and call on the English
Parliament to enfranchise En-
glish women?
If at the September primaries

men that they prove that the ma
