ternoon received the following
telegram from President O. N.
Killough of the St. Francis Lev
ee Board:
"The levee at Graves Bayou,
about rs miles South of Bridge
Junction, blew out about l o.
clock this morning. The crown
of the levee was about two feet
above the water, and there was
no apparent danger. 1t is a
sand levee and collapsed for lack
of base. The water will spread
South and Southwest and will
not likely affect any territory
North of the Rock Island, unless
tit should stay up for long time.
| The rest of the levee line is still
holding, but the situation is
growing more critical momenta-
rily and people are warned to
prepare for trouble. We are try
ing to get boat this morning to
come in below the break and
rescue any people or stock that
may be in peril.

DR.. J. c. Kimberlin departed
this life at his home in
Tuckerman, Arkansas, April /,
1913, in the Gath year of his

Bill WATER
I SEEMS CERTAIN
NV Rains GeneralOver North
Arkansas and South Mis-
souri, Will Bring High
@ Stage of Water In
Rivers.

Heavy rains for Tuesday
pht and throughout the day
jednesday over North Arkan-
Sand South Missouri are GER
ia to bring a very high stage
water in White and Black
ivers. With the present high
alter as a base, a serious over
Nv of the bottoms seem al
lost inevitable.
While the rainfall at Newport
81 Tuesday night was only l.62
inches and fell slowly, allowing
nnch of it to be absorbed, the
aims of Wednesday have been
heavier and almost constant. A
Message to the Independent
rom Batesville stated that the
aims there and as far north as
Ntter were heavy both Tuesday
liGht and Wednesday and that
she farmers of the upper valley
were preparing for an expected
overflow. The river was report
ed as rising fairly rapidly at
Batesville.
"a bad indication here is that
White River began rising We'd
Mesday morning following the
first nights rains. The gauge
Register was PIP feet and by the
time the water from the upper
rivers reaches our lowlands, the
flood stage of 26 feet will un-
doubtedly be passed by several
feet.
A& At Clarendon, a three inch
rainfall was reported for Tues
day night and the steady down.
pour is no doubt interfering with
the gallant fight the residents
along the Mississippi are making
for the protection Of their levees
8gainst the greatest rise ever
Known of that mighty river.
While the only break in the Ar
Kansas line is at Graves Bayou,
the situation is growing more
acute under the bad weather con-
tions and the crest of the rise
near at hand.
In the bottoms ofWhite River,
much land has been broken and
some of it planted to corn and
the overflow that now seems
certain will undo the work thus
far done besides making back
ward the next crop to be planted.
8 The weather predictions are
for fair skies tonight with con-
Siderable drop in temperature,
but not enough to hold back the
water through freezing, which
prevents many overfows in our
winter season.

HAYS CANDIDATE
AGAINST BRUNDIDGE
Kirby, Brough, Hinemon, Gates
and McRae Will Not Enter
The Race.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 9.-There
were indications that former
Congressman S. Brundidge of
Searcy might have no opposition
the Democratic nomination for
governor, but the idea was dis
PEELED last night, when Judge
George w. Hays of Camden an
nounced his candidacy for the
nomination.
However, the situation has
been clearing perceptibly since
the action of the State Central
Committee Tuesday in calling
the primary for June p, and as
sessing the cost, $500, against
the candidates.
Associate Justice w. F. Kirby
gave the following official state
n1ent to the Parke-Harper News
Service, the first definite an
nouncement he has made:
II will not be a candidate at
this time for governor. | have
made three expensive campaigns
during the last six years and my
financial condition is such that |
cannot afford to enter this race"
Hon. John H. Hinemon, a
member of the State Board of
Charitable Institutions, made
the following statement:
81 shall not be a candidate for
the nomination for governor. In
fact, do not know that | shall
ever be candidate for office
again. | once cherished an ear
nest desire to serve the state as
it's chief executive, believing
that l could be of real benefit to
the commonwealth to which |
have devoted my life. | made
one expensive campaign for gov
ernor, much more expensive
than dreamed it would be when
Il entered the contest. | appre-
ciate the abiding confidence of
those faithful friends who have
recently solicited and urged me
to become a candidate at this
time, but | fear the time has not
come when a man OF small
means may aspire with conf
dence to the position of govern
or, position of high honor and
responsibility"
1t is learned from 1flenQS III
close touch with DR.. c. II.
Brough of the University facul-
ty that he will not be in the race,
on account of the expense.
David A. Gates of Little Rock
and T. c.. McRae of Prescott, are
among those who have been
mentioned who have announced
that they will support Brun-
didge.
The final notice Of the inten-
ton of any candidate to enter
the race must be filed with the
Secretary of the Committee, W.
G. Hutton, of Little Rock, by
April 21. Should only one can
didate signify his intention to
run, the Committee shall meet
on April 20 and declare him the

be sent if rations and quarters
are provided for them.
A call has also been issued
from the governors office, to
the public spirited business men
OF the state, asking them to
advance money on the credit of
the state for the immediate
needs of such militiamen as
may be necessary to send to
the front. The Blytheville COM
pany is already on duty on the
levee, and calls are coming for
a company at Snow Lake, Desha
county.
Attorney General Moose has
construed Act No. 234, Of the
last legislature, to prevent the
creation of deficiencies, as per-
hitting the governor to incur
obligations of this character,
one section of the Act reading as
follows:
"The governor, when he deems
it necessary, in cases of insur-
rection, invasion, rebellion a.
gainst the constituted authori-
ties, epidemics, or in cases of
calamities, catastrophes, or Wis
itations, or in cases of dire ne
cessity, may authorize the prop
er officers to incur such obliga-
lions as he deems necessary for
the immediate preservation of
the public peace, health and
safety"
Such a condition of emergency
now confronts the tsate, but the
state has no funds that can be
used.
The War Department has
shipped a quantity of tents for
use of the refugees, but they
have miscarried in transit, and
an effort is being made to To-
cate them.
Lieutenant Frank, U. S. A.,
who has been in charge of the
flood situation at Helena, has
been ordered back to Hamilton,
Ohio, and another army officer
relieved him there Tuesday
night.
A report was current here
Tuesday afternoon that train
service had been abandoned
west of Memphis, on account of
the flood, but this was an error.
The Frisco was making some
repairs on the Arkansas ap-
proach, to take care of the great
volume of water coming down
from above, and this caused
temporary delay. One Iron
Mountain train out of Memphis
was seven hours late, but the
next was only an hour and
half, and the transportation Of
fcials here do not look for any
material interruption on ac-
count of the flood. The service
will continue, even should the
water get over the tracks in
places.
