ADD THOUSAND SQUARE MILES TO
INUNDATED AREA
rs PARISHES NOW AFFECTED
$500 Square Miles o. Louisiana Lands
Inundated and More Than 100000
People Driven From Their

New Orleans. - With approximately
1900 square miles OF Louisiana's lands
inundated by the Mississippi river Hood
waters, ana more than 100000 people
driven from their homes in the parishes
vest Of the river from the Arkansas line
almost to the gulf, the most serious
ersvasse of the present disastrous aOod
-Hymelia-promises to add another
thousand square miles or more to the
overlooked territory, make homeless
thousands Of people and add millions OF
dollars to the property damage dons
within the state.
The property damage already wrought
by the foods in this state is enormous.
1t will amount into the millions-no one
has attempted to even approximate Il,
for the state has been too busy with the
work Of rescuing people and live stock
in the flooded territory and in caring for
the thousands OF homeless and destitute
exceedingly heavy, but, although more
than rs parishes have been swept by the
food, the list OF known human victims
is less than 40. The territory now In
water in Louisiana comprises parts OF
"a parishes, with an area i've times as
large as the state OF Rhode Island, al
most four times a. large as Delaware,
as large almost a. Rhode Island, Con-
nectieut and Delaware combined and al
most the size Of the great state Of Mas
saehusetts. Within another ten days
five other parishes will feel the effects
Of the terrible waters from the Missis-
sippi broken levees. which hourly are
creeping upon them, WHICH no hand can
stay.
Except for . small stretch Of land In
West Felinciana and another small
stretch in lower st. Bernard. the over
flowed territory in this state extends
along the west banks Of the Mississippi
river from the northern part Of the state
to the extreme southern part, 300 miles
in length and arying in width from 10
to 80 miles.

TWO REPORTS SUBMITTED
Majority ExoneTates Illinois Senator
From Charges of Corruption-Ihe
Minority Report Sharp in
Its Domination

Washington.-The Lorimer case was
placed squarely before the senate foI
final settlement. The majority mem
bers Of the committee, Senators billing

Jones, filed a lengthy report, setting
forth that there was no apPearasee Of

minority members, senators Kern, Lea

mer were obtained by corrupt methods,
and that Edward Hines. the millionaire
Chicago lumberman, was influential in
putting Lorimer over"
The statement of the minority mem
bers is particularly sharp in its denun-
citation of the methods used in Lorimer's
election. According to these senator's
thetestimony tagen by the committee
establishes Mr.. Hines as zone who looked
upon everything and everybody as being
purchssable. the only question Of doubt
in his mind being the amount OF money
necessary to purchase this or that per
son"
The majority Of the committee report
ed that all the rules of law, judicial pro
cedure and justice required that the sen
ate's former judgment in Senator Lori.
mer's favor be held final and conclusive,
and that there was absolutely no new
and substantial evidence discovered on
this reinvestigation, his election being
~the logical result Of existing political
conditions in Illinois"
The minority reported that the evf
dence presented at the second investiga.
tion was broader and more far-reaeh-
ing" than the previous inquiry brought
out, and that II eonelusively established
that at least ten OF the votes east for
Lorimer were corrupt, and that his elee
tion therefore was invalid.
The minority report declares, ave have
no hesitaney in stating that the invest
cation establishes beyond contradiction
that the election % William Jorimer was
obtained by corrupt means"
