Says He Knows When the Major
Means Business.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
/ overheard a conversation which
helps to make clear the conditions on
March 8. To a policeman who was
standing quietly, smiling at the surg
ing crowd, a man said: ''Why do you
not help keep order here and protect
this parade?" He replied: Because
the suffragists do not want our assist
ance, and have told us to stand hands
off" The man, speaking very sharply,
said: Have you not had orders from
the major to keep the Avenue clear
and protect this parade?'' The police
man replied: .'Oh, yes, We have bad
the order, but we know when the major
means business B. w. CLARK.

Eidalia, La. May 1.-The crevasse
in the main line Of the Mississippi
river levee near Gibson's Landing had
widened this morning t. a half mile
emptying an immense volume of the
flood waters over the rich farming
land Of Concordia and adjoining par

The engineers in an effort to prevent
further crumbling of the broken ends
of the gap, placed huge tarpaulin
over the north end of the torn line
this morning and will attempt the task
Of tieing the lower end.
The crevasse water is steadily ex-
tending in every direction. des troying
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of growing crops and inundating many
towns and villages. It is expected to
reach Vidalia tomorrow. Little alarm
is felt here as the flood is not ex-

BREAK is NOW IMMINENT
SOUTH OF NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans May IA bad slough
in the levee at Poydras. 13 miles south
Of New Orleans, on the east side Of
the river, was discovered at $40 this
morning and a crevasse appeared i'm
minent. The batture caved in right
up to the river side of the levee and
within an hour after the cavtng was
in, throwing the threatening food wa
ter against a line Of sand bags which
had been hurriedly thrown up.
About three hundred laborers, hur-
rled1y assembled from the nearby
plantations, were put to work strength
ening the temporary sand bag dixie
and constructing cribbing just back Of
the weak places. Supplies and labor
ers were rushed to the scene from
New Orleans.
A break in the levee at that point
would give considerable relief to the
levees along the city water front and
above New Orleans, but would food

side of the river and part Of St Ber-

DIARY OF DICKo PROMISES TO
PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN THE
CAREERS OF SOME STATESMEN
Nobody Accused of Moth
ing" but Some Inter
esting Revelations Made
When Missing Diary
Which Bears on Ever
glades Transactions, is
Found.
BY FRANK l.. HUFEAkER.

Tallahassee. May 1.-The attention
of the writer was recently called to
the finding of a diary. said to have
| been written in the fist of Richard
]. BoIles, big chief of Everglades ex-
ploitation. and for which the afore-
said Bolles advertised rather fever
ishly some time ago.
The writer has not the slightest
idea as TO who found the diary, or
how 1t was procured, but if one ex-
cerpt is to he taken as an example,
that diary must abound in lurid1y in
teresting Information relative to Ever
giades operations.
In the DIARY of Dick attention was
called to the fact that one prominent
Flor1dian is not content with draw
ing two fat salaries, but wanted COM
missions amounting to more than one
hundred thousand on an Fverglade
deal for himself and the same amount
for an equally prominent friend. Sir
Richard may have been dreaming
when he took his pen in hand and
wrote these interesting paragraphs in
the diary which bears his name and
for which he advertised, SO therefore
l don't accuse nobody Of nothing
However I would like to have that
diary read to the members of the leg
islature of this good year of nineteen
thirteen.
Although sorely tempted at times, I
have never verged on ''slop can jour
nalisrn. but I am afraid I'd fall If I
had that diary in my possession. I
have not and do not know where it
is now, but I fear me very greatly
that it may yet play an interesting
part in the careers of more than one
statesman" and near statesman.
