Opposed to James.
When Urey Woodward chairman
from Kentucky. voted for Parker
against James he explained that Ken
lucky did not wish to place James
name before the committee. He
said he had talked with Senator
James and had been assured he was
not a candidate. In addition, he
said the Kentucky delegation had in
structed HIM that James name
would not be placed before the COM
mittee.
Robert Ewing, committeeman
from Louisiana and Wilson support
er placed James name before the
committee.
Edward F. Goltra of Missouri,
Clark man, explained that he voted
for James because he was not sup
porting Clark. This was taken by
many to mean that Bryan forces in
the convention would receive some
assistance from Clark supporters
when the fight against Parker is ta-
ken to the floor.
Says Bryan Is Dictator.

Craftsmanship was not prolonged
Representative Talbot, the Maryland

an and said the Nebraskan had as

ciples endorsed by the party.

New Breaks Reported and the Crevasse at Torras In-
 creased to 5000 Feet.
HOOTERS ARE AT WORK
Breaking Into Partially Submerged Houses Train Loads of Refugees
 Taken to Baton Rouge.

New Orleans, La, May 9.--With the Mississippi river and it's tributaries still rising and not yet at flood crest and five new gaps in the levees since last night, the flood situation is growing worse hourly tonight.
 At Torras today 1,40O feet of levee went out, widening the crevasses to 5000 feet and sending a great flood of water through the already inun- dated parishes, reaching as far as New Roads. The latter place has been abandoned by nearly all of it's inhabi tants, only a few persons remaining in the town The population is dense in this vicinity and it is feared that the loss of life on the river side of the town has been very heavy.
 Two breaks occurred at Moreau- vile and one near Long Bridge. Half of Moreauville is under water. Fifty per cent of the sugar crop in this sec ticn has already been ruined.
 Calls for help continued to come in today. Motor boats and skiffs are Leing rushed to the marooned famil- ies as fast as they can be obtained and government agents are confiscat- ing boats whenever any are found. Many farmers in the Imperial district are building crafts for the time when the water reaches their homes.
 Refugees report that hundreds of persons are marooned in the tops of their houses, and trees. Few of them have any food. To add to the horror o1 the situation looters are rowing about in the more populous districts, breaking into partly submerged houses and carrying off the valuables.
 Millville authorities took drastic action today to prevent the specula- tors trading upon the misfortune of residents across the river by ordering that live stock shall not be ferried in the charge of trader. Hundreds of refugees stopped here today to be fed and then passed on to Baton Rouge on special trains. All told borrowing tales of suffering and many talked hysterically for fear that their fam flies had been drowned. Most of the fleeing families are large, few having less than four or five children. One white woman climbed down the steps of a refugee train with sixteen chll- dren in her care. She said they all belonged to her. Families with eight, nine and ten children are numerous.
 The majority of the negro refugees seemed to be little affected by the scenes of distress and their own thrill lins experiences. Those passing through here today were as happy as a crowd going to picnic. On the same depot platform with hysterical weeping white women were half clad negroes singing, fiddling and dancing.

 A fight was made by the Eureka Springs Aerie for the 1913 convention but hard work on the part of Judge Stewart, Edgar Brewster and others of the Pine Bluff delegation, landed the meet for Pine Bluff.

NEGRO MURDERER
 LANDED IN JAIL
SHERIFF BREWSTER AND DEPUTY SHERIFF GREEN MAKE GOOD
 CATCH IN LOUISIANA.
Johnson Thornton, Who BrutaIly Murdered Woman, To Be Brought
 Back Here For Trial.

Through the persistent efforts of Sheriff Edgar Brewster and Deputy Sheriff c. c. Green, a negro murderer, who has been wanted here for many months, has been captured at Delta, La, and considering the cleverness of the negro in evading the officers from time to time the capture is good one.
 The negro is Jackson Thornton and he is in jail at Delta awaiting the ar rival of Deputy Sheriff Green, who went to that place last night to bring him back here An indictment has al ready been returned by the Jefferson county grand jury against Thornton, charging him with murder in the first degree.
 The crime for which Thornton is wanted was committed on the Martin place, just East of Pine Bluff on the night of December 13, 1911. Thornton had some words earlier in the day with "Frenchie" Wynne, another ne- gro tenant on the place. That night he went to Wynne's house and called him out. AS soon as he reached the outside Thornton raised shotgun, hut before he could fire his wife, Mary Wynne, threw her arms around her husbands neck and while she was kissing, him and endeavoring to pro- tect him from Thornton's attack, she was shot down. She died instantly with load of buckshot in her body. Thornton made his escape and repeat ed efforts have been made to capture him not only by the sheriff's force, but other officers of this city and county.
 Recently Sheriff Brewster learned of his presence in the neighborhood of Delta, but owing to the flooded con- dition of the country there the arrest was not made until yesterday.
