MAY TAKE 4 HAND IN DISTRICT FIGHT
Executive Action Deemed Necessary
To Quiet Levee Board Upheay

Tallulah, La, June 3.-An upheaval
in the internal affairs of the Fifth District
Levee Board, and senatorial personal
clash between Robert Hill and F.. j.
Hamley, members from East Carroll at
the special meeting OF the Board held
here Wednesday. will probably bring the
matter OF reorganization of this Board to
the attention Of Gov. Pleasant at an early
date.
The differences between Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Hamley have been known for some
time. Mr.. Hill, it will be recalled, re-
signed during the latter part of Gov
Halls administration, saying he could
not remain a member, throwing ont
yelled charges of a most sensational
manner.
Gov. Hall declined to accept the Hill
resignation, and instead insisted upon
him making specific charges, il there had
been any one at fault or any warrant for
the intimations The matter dragged
along and the recent high water fight
came on.
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Hamley, as was the
custom, divided the East Carroll territory,
Mr.. Hamley taking that above and Mr..
Hill that to the South This battle against
food being over, the bills of expenditures
from the several parishes and from the
designated districts showed wide vari-
ance, although there were no intimation
that anything was wrong.
Wednesdays meeting was for the set
Element OF the food bills and to consider
the charges OF Mr.. Hill, which were still
hanging fire. The expense for the Fast
Carroll Division showed total of So, 900,
of which amount Mr.. Hamley had ex
pended about $4,000 in his territory,
and Mr.. Hill about 81 600 in his.
When the Board assembled, Mr.. Hill
proceeded to read lengthy statement,
covering more than dozen typewriter
pages, most OF which were aimed at his
"fellow member" meaning Mr.. Hamley.
1t was charged that money had been
spent recklessly in the purchase oflumber,
boats and equipment for fighting the
food
Friends of Mr.. Hamley say the charges
are ridiculous, and that his results speak
for themselves.
After Mr.. Hill had finished reading
his excoriation, Mr.. Hamley is said to
have asked that the young woman stem
ographer he sent from the room, where
upon he denounced the Hill charges as
Gle" and applied accompanying epthets.
The two men rushed at each other
and clinched. 1t required the combined
efforts of several members of the Board
to separate them.
The affair has been sensation in this
entire district for several days, although
every effort has been made to quiet it
down.
