LANDS IN LfYfE
 DIST. Z DOOMED
29 FEET AT LITTLE ROCK
IS PREDICTED IN MONDAYS FORECAST BY U. s. MEATH
 FER BUREAU.
From Mondays Daily

With a practically certain of all records since June I3, 1877, when a stage of 29.1 feet was recorded at Little Rock, being broken, and proba- bility that even this stage will be ex- ceeded, landowners and farmers along the Arkansas river are are today fac ing the graveSt situation that has ex- isted for 40 years
 In his forecast today Section Direc- tor II. s. Cole predicts stage of 29 feet ore more at Little Rock. This will exceed by more than one foot the highest stage of 1892, which was the highest since 1877. If the water climbs more than one-tenth above 29 feet it will be the highest since Aug ust, 1866, when a stage of 29.7 feet was recorded.
 No report was obtainable today from the weather bureau for any sta tion west of Dardanelle. At Fort Smith the river at o'clock last night had reached a stage of 32.6 feet, a rise of 2.3 feet, and the rainfall at that point was one inch.
 The following is the report at 7 o'clock this morning. The first col umn of figures is the flood stage, the second the stage at o'clock today, the third is the rise in "A hours and the fourth is the rainfall in "A hours :: Dardanelle ..... 20 29.4 4 1.40 Bigelow ........ :. 28.8 IT .92 Little Rock ..... 23 26.3 10 122 Pine Bluff ...... 25 27.O IA 167
 Continued rains which have filled all tributary streams to overhowing are responsible for the forecaster raising his estimate issued Saturday from nearly 28 feet at Little Rock to ''29 feet or above" today.
 That the water will go over the levee in District No. 2, the lower sec tion of the bottom land in this county, is believed to be inevitable. A report from that district this morning stat ed that the water was then only IA to 15 inches below the top of the levee. w It'll lJlOOdDly IiIlSC 4CSI HUI ' NOii ing, this levee is believed ito be doomed.
 In District Mo- l, most of the land owners believe a stage of 29 feet, or even 30 feet at Little Rock, can be withstood. This district, however, is already being inundated by headwater from Tupelo bayou, whic his continuing to rise and IS spreading over the river plantations rapidly. A negro school building outside of the levee on W. B. Stark S place is surrounded by water several feet deep and is expected to be wash ed away.
 Mail service between Conway north of the Cadron has been abandoned in- definitely, as it is impossible to reach either the King or Terry bridges ex- cept by skiff.
 Train service is badly demoralized by washouts in Oklahoma. Train No. 103, due here at 6;20 yesterday aft ernoon, has been annulled. Train No. 105, due here at 5:43 a. m, is eX- pected to arrive here at 4;30 this aft ernoon, and will be the first through train from the west since yesterday

AVE.
PARKING STRIP
HAS DRAWBACKS

Parking in Kalakaua avenue, from
Levers road to the end of the avenue,
may be torn up and the street car
tracks put in the center of the street.
Much quiet talk of the mistake of the
board in putting the parking in has
been going on among the supervisors
and the city officials for several
weeks past Last night il broke out
in the meeting. After Ben Hollinger
had brought it up. and there was some
discussion. Supervisor Hatch got on
his feet.
IF by identifying that street you
destroy its utility, detract from the
convenience of its use, you are not
serving the public he declared.
'Kalakaua avenue is beautiful-but
when that parking strip was put in, it
was put in without regard to the BUSH
ness needs of the hotels strung along
1t. We are all glad to see hotel Of
the character of the Moana expanding
and would do all we could to help it..
Then there should be no hesitancy in
tearing up that parking strip. for 1t in
terferes seriously with the convent
ence of the hotels guests, especially
when big affairs are being held
there"

MAY NOT
GET Land FOR
BUILDINGSITE

No public auction of the portion of
the continuance Of Ainahau lane run
ming past the Moana Hotel wanted by
the hotel company will be held. In
fact, situation developed today
which raises doubt whether the hotel
will get the land at all
Land Commissioner B. G.. Riyen-
burgh sent letter to the Territorial
Hotel Company last night saying that
the territory would give it quitclaim
deed to the portion of the lane de-
sired, in other words release its title,
but that the company would have to
go to the supervisors to get the coun-
ty to abandon the part Of the right-of-
way wanted. As the hotel company
is the AUDITING owner, il will not be
necessary to hold an auction if the
property is sold.
w. T. Garden, second deputy city
attorney, denies that the territory can
eveu issue a quit claim deed to the
property, to say nothing Of selling 1t,
as was contemplated by the land
board yesterday. Acting on the in
structions of the board of supervisors,
issued at its meeting last night, Car
den has written to Riyenburgh, to the
attorney general, to the land board
and TO the hotel company In all of
the tiers he says that neither Riyen-
burgh nor the land commission has
the authority to take any action to-
ward selling to the Territorial Hotel
Company, or any other person, any
| portion of the right-of-way from Kala-
kaua avenue to the beach," He cites
sections of the Revised Laws and am
opinion delivered on a case on Maui
to support his protest.
Action of the supervisors was taken
as result of protest filed by Charles
H. Thurston, chief of the fire depart
ment. He said he had read of the &C
ton Of the land board in the Star
Bulletin yesterday and wanted to pro-
test, as a citizen, against the county
releasing its rights. The reply was
made that the county did not intend
20 release SIS rights and instructions
were issued to Garden to protest

OLD DOMINION RAILWAY
Company Will Attempt to Renew
Operations Today

Under the protection of injunctions
granted in the District and Virginia,
the Washington ana Old Dominion
Railway Company will attempt to re-
sumo operations of cars on both of
its lines today.
President Colin Livingstone said
the Company had employed a number
of strike-breakers and many of the
strikers had returned to work. He
said modified car service would be
given by the company for the next
day or two and that full service would
be restored by the end of the week.
The injunction granted By Justice
Mccoy in the District Supreme Court
and by Judge Thornton, who presides
over the Alexandria, Fairfax and
Loudoun county courts restrain the
155' strikers from interfering with
the operation of the cars by the COM
pany. The injunctions were granted
by the two jurists late yesterday af-
ternoon after petitions had been filed
by Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and
R. H. Ycatman.
The petitions filed IN each court
covered fourteen pages in which the
history of the trouble between the
company and its employees was reclt-
ed.
1t is charged in the petitions that
the strikers have combined together
to defy the American Federation OF
Labor, with whom they are affiliated,
and have not only already caused dam,
;; age to the company's equipment, but
have attempted to interfere with the
placing of men on the cars to operate
them. It is also charged that the
strikers have interferred with the
transportation of United States mails
end interstate commerce shipments.
; The petition also alleges a breach OF
an arbitration agreement.
The injunctions enjoin the strikers
from interfering with the operation
of the cars or from using violence OF
in any way intimidating or influenc,
ing men not to run the company's
cars.
