Memphis. Tenn, April 11.-Ac.
cording to forecaster. the river will
be about stationary with a falling
tendency in this territory for the
next twenty.four hours. River ex-
perts. however, state that the break
at Wilson will relieve the situation
considerably and should show a drop
in the river at Memphis of four to
six inches.
AT Wilson the break was reported
widening slowly. The water from
this crevasse will flood about 800, 900
acres of farming and timber land,
and together with the water from
the Graves Bayou crevasse, is ex.
pected to cover about 40 per cent. of
the st. Francis Basin, which COM

Editorial Comment

The senate's attitude toward Pres
ident Wilson and the new tariff bill
became fairly well defined Thursday
after another meeting Of the demo-
cratic members Of the finance COM
mittee. Briefly. the senate commit
tee will agree to accept the view of
the president and the house, as to
free wool and l cent sugar. with the
free.in-three-years attachment, but
it will exercise its right to amend
other schedules and provisions of
the tariff bill as it thinks best. The
conference with the president yes
terday brought a working agree
ment. under which both the execu-
tive and the senate leaders have
yielded certain points.

Postmaster General Has APP.
pointed a Commission To
Investigate.
DEMAND FOR A LOWER RATE
TwO-Cent Letter Postage Is a
Great Revenue Producer
For Uncle Sam.

Action on the part of Postmaster
General Albert S. BurlesoD, invclv-
ing the appointment of commits
sion to investigate the actual finan-
cial, physical and working conditions
of the postal service" is regarded by
business men all over the country as
the initial step towards one cent let
ter postage.
Postmaster General Burleson in
dicates that there have been so
many conflicting reports as to the
general conditions of the depart
ment that he has decided to have a
full and complete investigation made
with view to determining the ex-
act status of affairs.
The commission is composed of
Daniel c. Roper, Joseph Stewart,
A. M. Dockery and James |. Blacks
lee, first, second, third and fourth as
sistant postmasters generals respec-
lively, and Merritt o. Chance, chief
clerk of the department. These are
the new officials just appointed un-
der the Wilson administration to
conduct the affairs of the postoffice
department.
Now that the parcels post is in &C.
tual operation and bids fair to be
extended during the next few years,
it is claimed by business men gener-
ally that their demand for one cent
letter rate should be needed. They
point to the fact that the postoffice
department is now realizing an enor-
nous surplus. something like &c.,
100000 per year, from the letter
mail. Although letter mail consti-
tutes but fourteen per cent of the
revenue of the department, It pays
about seventy-five per cent of the
revenue of all classes, and it is evil
dent that this is a decided discrimi-
nation against users of fir.t class or
letter mail.

trains began running on the L. & N.
railroad between Evansville and St.
Louis Wednesday night and four Of
the six regular passenger trains are
through trips regularly
These are Nos. 81, 81, SO and "a.
The night trains 81 and 90 were not
put on at the start. The traffic in
ruption was due to a washout of the
trestle at Maune, Ill.,, at the Wabash
bridge. which could not be repaired
until the river went down and then
it was big job. Many carloads Of
crushed stone had to be taken from
this city to be used in the repair
work. During the blockade all
Western mail had TO be sent around
by Louisville,
Trains Nos. 81 and 90 were re-
sumed yesterday, putting the pas
5enger service back on its regular
basis and traffic will soon be free
m interruption. Few of the

Rain has fallen in the Mississippi

AT some points, as at Memphis, Lit

of the rains in the Ohio valley will
be no more serious than to check

Heavy rains in the lower Mississip-
