convicts, Negroes, Soldiers and Boys
Work on the Levees.

Baton Rouge, La, May 6.-Hundreds
OF citizens, rich and poor, worked all
day and are still working with 300
convicts and negroes in a desperate
effort to hold the levees against the
floods in the Mississippi that are
creeping hourly towards the crest of
the protective earth works about this
city. Five hundred cadets of the
state university responded to the call
for aid and Joined with school boys,
boy scouts and soldiers working to
save the levees.
An especial effort is being made to
save the city pumping station and
water works plant, and about a thou
sand persons are assisting in building
large mud boxes about this property.
The convicts are building a levee
for the protection of the lower por-
ton of the city in the event of a
break.
With this desperate battle against
the water going on the refugees from
the Torras district are not neglected.
Two hundred arrived at Port Hud-
son, where a concentration camp has
been established. The water from the
Torras break is slowly spreading over
the open country, taking in the towns
in its path and growing deeper every
hour. The situation in this district
was made more critical by the break
in the Moreauville levee on the Bayou
des Claire.

CAN'T TRACE CARPATHiA Wire
SMITH CLAIMS IT WAS FILED
WITH GOTHAM.
Addressed to "IsIefrank" From
"Yamsi"-Line Official Received
1t On Wednesday.

New York, May 6.-The efforts of
Senator VIM. Alden Smith, chairman
of the senate committee investigating
the Titanic disaster, to confirm the
report that a message telling of the
Titanic's fate was received in New
York early on the Monday morning
after the wreck have thus far proved
fruitless, after two days Of examina-
ton of witnesses here.
What concerns me most" Mr..
Smith said, lis the postal telegram
given to the operator on the Carpathia
early Monday morning addressed to
'lslefrank' and signed 'Yamsi,' which
told of the sinking of the vessel and
of serious loss of life.
II I'M most DESTROYS of knowing
where that message was the following
two days and why it was held up.
Mr.. Franklin says he did not receive
it till Wednesday,. The California,
which was in easy reach of the Car
pathia, could have sent it, and the
Carpathia's operator, Gotham, testified
that he had sent it."
Jack Binns, wireless operator on the
ill fated steamer Republic, called to
testify concerning the wireless equip
ment of the vessels in the vicinity of
the Titanic, said that the RESPONSE
bility for the lack of news rested with
Operator Gotham. While the Carpath-
las equipment could only send a mes
sage 200 miles, he said, she was in
touch with the California and the
California could have relayed the news
to the Olympic which could have sent
it ashore.
Melville E. Stone, general manager
of the Associated Press, was called
to testify concerning the efforts of
the Associated Press to obtain news.
Mr.. Stone presented documentary rec
ords showing the course of the vari-
Gus news dispatches concerning the
disaster which the Associated Press
sent out.

a few arrests, resulting from attempts
to distribute Chicago newspapers print
ed by non-union pressmen, publishers
were confronted with fresh trouble
when the s%tereotypers walked out Of
all their Offices. The move was made
by the workmen in violation of a spe-

union, for the men to remain at work.
The following statement was issued,
after the walkout by the local branch

ton.
Because the owners of the Chicago
daily newspapers would not permit it
a committee of stereotypers (Which
had previously voted to strike to sit
as judge and jury on the questions at
issue between the publishers and the
pressmen's union, the stereotypers'
union walked out of all the newspaper
offices. This was done in direct vic.
lation of the contract existing between
the Chicago publishers and the stereo.
typers' union, and in face of a Pc
cifc order from James J. Freel, inter-
national president of the stereotypers'
union, who warned his local followers
against such action.
This strike by the st]ereotypers is
the third contract breaking walkout by
the unions employed in the Chicago
newspaper offices in the last forty
eight hours.
Scores of boys and men who en-
deayored to sell afternoon papers were
brutally assaulted by members of the
drivers union and sympathizers with
the pressmen. One boy was taken by
several strikers to the Chicago river
at the Madison street bridge and they
were on the point of throwing him in
when he was rescued by a platoon of
police. His assailants we're captured
and taken to the Desplaines street sta
ton. Another boy had his jaw split
and scores were beaten numerically.
At least half a dozen are in various

Tears Choke Chief Executive While
Delivering EuIogy at

Washington, May 1.-THE life Of
Major Archibald w. Butt, as a sol
der, newspaper man, aid to presi
dents and Mason and his heroic death
on the Titanic were commemorated
by his commandments, the presi.
dent, a secretary Of war, a senator OF
his native state, a contemporary in
newspaper work and the fraternity OF
Masonry at an impressive memorial
service here.
The tribute President Taft paid to
his late aide epitomized all that was
said:
Everybody knew Archie as Archie.
l cannot go in a box at a theater,
l cannot turn around in my room, |
cannot go anywhere without expect
ing to see his smiling face or to hear
his cheerful voice greeting.
Archie Butts character was single,
simple, straightforward and incapable
of intrigue. Life was not for him a
troubled problem. He was a soldier
and when he was appointed to serve
under another, to that other he rem
dered implicit loyalty.
Occasions like the sinking of the
Titanic frequently develop unforeseen
traits in them. 1t makes them heroes
when you don't expect it. But with
Archie it was natural for him to help
those about him."
President Taft spoke with difficulty
and he was forced to an abrupt end
ing by tears. Beside Mrs. Taft sat
