GUARDS OFF FLOODS
East Side Levee and Sanitary
District of Illinois.
Section Is Municipality Chartered by
the State and Has Power to Collect
Taxes to Keep the Mississippi
River Within Bounds.

East ST. Louis.-The east side levee
and sanitary district, in which the city
of East st. Louis is situated. is a mu-
nicipality, chartered by the state of H.
linois and given power to levy and
collect taxes for the purpose of pro-
! viding flood protection and drainage
for $50 square mile area situated on
the east side of the Mississippi river,
opposite the city of st. Louis.
The area extends about 80 miles
| along the Mississippi river, and is
| bounded on the east by a chain of
bluffs. Within the area is large in
dustrial center, and very prolific ag-
| ricultural dietrict. The principal city
in the area is East st. Louis, which
has a population of $4,000. The other
cities are Granite City, National City,
Madison, Venice, Brooklyn, Nameoki
and Cahokia.
| In the past this area has had to en-
| dure many floods, resulting from an
unusual combination of causes. The
estimated cost of the work provided
| for in the present plans of the east
side levee and sanitary district is &c.
| 100000 The east side levee and sani-
tary district as municipality embrace
a large territory, including the cities
mentioned, but is in no way directly
connected with them. The district
| is governed by a board of trustees
elected every four years, which board
appoints a chief engineer, treasurer,
a clerk and attorney.
To appreciate the significance of
the measures taken by the east side
| levee and sanitary district toguard
against future floods in the area, it
is necessary to have a clear under
standing of the causes of the frequent
| floods
The area is comparatively low,
and the Mississippi river formerly
spread over a large portion OF it.
Through the area runs a stream call

LUKE McLUkE SAYS

Don't be ashamed of your enemies
There is something wrong about the
man who is liked by everybody.
About the only thing some of us
can't resist is temptation.
A gentleman is person who
shares his pleasures with others and
keeps his troubles to himself.
Some excuses grow rusty and are
laid away. But the oldest excuse
blaming the woman, is always il
working order.
And what has become of the old
fashioned tad who used to- make lamp
lighters out of the evening paper aft
er he got through reading it?
People are always starting some
thing they never expect to finish
That's the reason why Genesis is bet
ter known than Revelations.
Boost a man and he will forget il
in ten minutes. Knock him and he
will remember it for fifty years.
Fashion makes fools out of som
women and monkeys out of the rest
Every girl believes that when she
gets married her husband will tell
her what they do at the lodge Of
which he is a member.
The old-fashioned man who used
to buy chickens for dinner now has &
son who buys dinner for-but WHAT
the use. You finish it.
Isn't it about time for J. Phinney
Earle to come across with the Spring
fashion in affinitieS?

was a returning passenger on the Mat.
sonia yesterday after a hurried trip to

with those high in the councils of
Moosedom regarding the troubles Of the
local lodge and to secure charter for
a pew lodge Of Moose to be started in

"a new local'lodPe Of Moose will be
organized here, said Mr.. Brown last
night, that win be even stronger than
the old lodge. The name and number
will be the same, l.. o. o. M. 500, and
my present plan is to start organization
right away. We viii probably take
temporary quarters in the Odd Fellows
building until the new lodge is strong
enough TO build quarters of its own. j

Mr.. Brown stated that the other
Moose lodges in the jurisdiction, Wal.
palm, Schofeld, Hilo and Wailuku were
in hourishing condition and were all
financially sound. Mr., Brown denies that
the supreme council has put ban on
Hawaiians and that the new lodge will

HH4O, April 27--Pursuing his vie.
tim TO and fro in small dark room
and wildly brandiahing pocket knife,
Arthur Kepekaio last Saturday even
ing furnished one Of the most grew.
some and bloody near-tragedies with
which the local police have had TO
deal for some time. In the dark room
with him and the man he was trying
10 slay--a Portuguese known as An.
tone-swas the woman who was the
cause of the trouble. Six times Ke-
pekaio cut the terrified Antoine and
once, in his wild slashing, he appears
TO have cut himself in the thigh. That
he must have made this cut himself
appears from the fact that Antoine had
mo weapon.
The woman in the ease is married
woman, Hawaiian whose husband was
some time ago sent to jail for perjury.
Kepekaio had been living with her.
Last December, in a at of jealousy, he
tried to cut the throat Of their child,
and then cut his own throat. The
wounds were not serious, and he lived
to be sentenced TO pay a fine for as
sault and battery.
Last Saturday evening he found An
tone and the woman together. He had
apparently been following them. IL
attacked Antoine with an open pocket
knife and probably only the darkness
saved Antone's life. Officer Kahauo-
lopua, who lives in the building where
the fearsome duel was going on, heard
the noise, and with his brother broke
down the door of the room, which was
locked. They seized Kepekaio and
rushed Antoine to the hospital, where
he is now under treatment. One of
his wounds, close 10 the jugular vein,
would have been fatal II made with a
little bigger knife. As it is he will
probably recover.
Kepekaio appeared before Judge
Wise yesterday on charge Of assault
with q dangerous weapon. The case
was postponed pending the result of
Antoine 3 injuries.

T. H. Petrie Declares Church Bill
Does Not Apply to Honolulu
Consolidated Oil Company.

WASHINGTON, April IS. Asso-
eiated Press Cable) Tho house public
lands committee has reported favor
ably the Church bill, authorizing the
President TO make preferential leases
of unpatentcd oil lands in California
TO independent operators who are
fighting the STANDARD Oil Company.
The Church bill limits the holdings
of lessees to Gi0 acres and cuts down
the holdings Of the Honolulu Consol-
idated Oil Company to the amount Of
S2o9 acres.
T, II. Petrie, who is heavily inter
ested in Honolulu Consolidated, stated
yesterday that his company is located
in the Buena Vista Hills sections OF
the Midway Sunset oil fields in Cali
fornia.P The company is operating on
20, the alternate sections being owned
by the Southern Pacific railroad.
Honolulu Consolidated owns in fee
simple all of section 10 and a quarter
Of section q The other sections are
-leased from the government, but, as
all the original locations were made
prior TO zoos, the Church bill will not
affect Their titles. F.
In September, 1900, President w. II.
Taft withdrew all public mineral and
oil lands from location, by executive
order, Then, in order TO protect those
who had located oil wells and made
improvements, congress passed an Act
in July, 1910, legalizng all entries
made up TO that time but making the
withdrawal proclamation of the Pres.
ident effective from date Of passage
OF the new Act In 1910.
Petric stated that the Church bill is
very much to the advantage Of the oil
producers and has their support.
While il may worl, out as Indicated by
the eablegram quoted above, no such
action could possibly take place until
after the expiration Of the company Is
leases, whiel have MANY years TO run,
