Fight Against Flood Waters Given Up and Many
 Acres Go Under.
100000 ARE HOMELESS
Highest Leyee in the World is Weak. ening- Residents of TOrras
 Escape on Trains.

New Orleans, May 2-Giving up their unequal fight against the great flood pouring southward in the Miss issippi, the colony of men who for twentyfour hours have been fighting to close the erevasse in the Torras steamboat and flood is spreading over thousands of acres of the rich est sugar plantation in the South.
 The flood waters from the cre- vases will inundate sections of eight parishes, but will be most destruc- tive in Pointe Coupee, West Baton Rouge and Iberville parishes. where millions of dollars worth of property is endangered ard the finest sugar and rice plantations of the state probably will be covered with the flood waters.
 The levee protecting the convict farm at Angola went out this after nosn and conditions are most serious tonight The Angola break is across the river from the Torraa crevasses and less than six miles distant. The flood waters on this side of the river will cover thousands of acres of fine farming land. along the east hank as far down as Bayou Sara and St. Franeisvlle and probably will re- turn to the Mississippi near Morgan.
 More than one hundred thousand people are homeless in the Torras re- zion and are tonight fleeing in panic to higher ground. which in many in- stances is several miles distant.
 The Morgan levee which is the highest in lne world except two dykes i'll Holland is weakening and it is feared it will go out tonight The crevasses in the Torras levee is nearly thousand feet wide and it is rapidly 0umbling. At Baton Rouge the situation is causing ser ious apprehension. Although the crest of the flood will not reach here for several days the river is already beyond flood stage.
 The Federal government is supply ing rations to the homeless in the flooded district. The escape of peo- pie from their homes has been great ly impeded by the stampeding of < animals turned loose by their owners the frightened horses and cattle swim up to many of the boats and rafts, carrying away refugees from their homes.
 The residents of Torras, relying implicitly on the strength of the levee, were taken by surprise when the break came. A panic ensued. Before the streets were entirely submerged, however, most of the population man. aged to board passenger cars that had been kept in readiness and were taken out of town. Several hundred escaped by riding in freight cars. No fatalities have been reported, but it is feared that there will be loss of life in the interior as the water Is rushing over the country so rapidly that it will be impossible. to warn all points affected.

ao to ald them in carrying the ficbt
 to the higher courts. The oonn,ia
 slohers informed the business men
 tnat they were ready and yillino to
 continue the fight and that if tho
 people of this county wanted +be
 Free Bridge they would carry the
 case to the higher court and seonro i II TOT them. They said they would do whatever the people wanted them to do.
 some question arose as to why tEe Bridge Commission had not made ts
 majority petition public and also its
 slsners in vaiuation. The commits
 sloners stated that under the Free
 Bridge Act they were not permitted
 to state what they had until the De-
 titions were examined at a legally aa- thorlzed meeting of the Board
 When it was decided to have the mass meeting the commissioners stat ed that they would be glad to have the business men question the young men who had tabulated the petitions and had verified them by the tax books of the county They would be glad to give their figures complete, if they were desired, but the com- mission has not the legal right to make them public under the law.
 The Free Bridge petitions were ex- hibited at the meeting in stacks and the young men in charge of them gave the aggregate number they had. It was shown conclusively that g. $50 property owners of the county had signed for the Free Bridge, rep resenting a property value of S4,S0O,- 000. This, it was stated was more than one-half of the total assessed value of property in the county and nearly two-thirds of the number of property owners in favor of the Free Bridge
 When asked about the reported 600 signers who had requested the Tax payers Protective Association to get | their names off the Free Bridge pe- titions, the young men, who had gone over the petitions filed by T. J. Col Her with the Board, stated that they had counted the names on the pro- test petitions and that the total number of signers was but 327 in- stead of 600, as stated of the 327 sign CTS asking that their names be with drawn only about 100 had signed the petitions for the Free Bridge. It was stated that about $10O.0O0 in value was represented on the protest pe- titions and that many of the signers have since again signed the Free Bridge petitions, declaring that they lad signed the protest petitions un- fer misrepresentation and that the wording of the petition, as filed by Mr. Collier, was different than that hey had signed.
 It is expected that Judge Elliott will hand down his written opinion n the Free Bridge case today. The Bridge Commission will also meet his morning to decide what action is O be taken. It is stated that the will instruct it's counsel . n take the case to the Supreme Court. {

E Following meeting, which was at-

 William Nichol was made chairman Of the meeting and M. E. Bloom sec- retary. Some enthusiastic speeches were made. indicating that there was no Encouragement over the decision of Judge J. M.

Speeches were made by 5. '. Alexander, w. N. Trulock, William Nichol, A. D. Foster, J. E. Boyce, w. U. Hearn, P. P. Byrd and others.

REPORT fAvORS
BUILDING DAM
Future Navigation OF Red
: River Depends on
Governments Action

After . visit to Drayton yesterday.
Prof. e. F. Chandler Of the univers-
ity reported that q dam could be put
in the Red river at that point at q
moderate cost. ana he says there are
many other available sites further
down. tho river. This, will be brought
out at the hearing at the Commercial
club December s, which has been
called to discuss the possibility Of
making tho river n%avigable and at
which those interested in the matter
will have an opportunity Of meeting
Lieut. Col. G. l.. Potter. who Is in
charge Of the investigation for the fed
eral government. In the meantime the
club 10 gathering data a to the num-
Der Of dams required and the cost.
The Whitney Bros, who bought the
old Red River Transportation COM
pany, are awaiting q decision on the
part Of the government before making
their plans for transportation. The
old steamer Grand Forks. which has
been the principal public carrier on
the river for many years. has been
sold for junk, after the engines and
other iron we're bought by the Grand
Forks foundry. The Fran and the
barges and other boats r being held
in readiness. against the prospect Of
the river again being made navigable.
II this u not made possible the COM
pany will take the boats to Winnipeg
when there is enough water In the
river to float them.
A strong sentiment In favor Of navi-
cation on the river is that there Is a
good market for hay. potatoes and
bricks in Winnipeg. but the railroad
freight rates are sc high that they cat
up all the profit in these lines.
