STRIKE PARALYzES
SWEET INDUSTRY
Ten Thousand Natives of
West Indies Are Threat
ening Trouble.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. - The
perennial Immigration bill fight with
all its old features and some new ones
which may complicate the interna-
tional situation, is imminent in the
house.
Friends of the lteracy test measure
which probably will be brought on
serve the city ordinance which pro-
hibits the burning of grass at this
or any other season of the year.
Arrests VIII Continue.
Police still have their orders to ar
rest all persons caught In the act OF
burning grass, and it is their inten-
tion to carry out those orders to the
letter. The same order applies to
burning refuse in alleys or elsewhere
than in specially built furnaces.
No explanations will be acceptable
to the arresting officer from persons
caught violating the ordinance. They
will be escorted gently but firmly to
police headquarters. where they will
be jailed If unable to provide the
necessary bond. After arraignment
before Judge Clark in police court
they probably will be heavily fined, as
Ia Is known that special orders have
been issued o the magistrate as well
as all other members of the depart
ment.
The best way to do. therefore, is to
refrain from burning anything.

WATER YARDS DEEP
IN LOUISIANA TOWN
Rayville Is Greatly Endan-
gered by Weakened
Levee.

RAYNILLE La. Feb. 22. -
Through desperate efforts which con-
tinued throughout the night and are
still under way, the citizens of Ray
vile have strengthened the levees
sufficiently to save the business dis
trict and the white residential section
from the waters that broke through
the private levee about the town
Monday morning and inundated the
negro area. The water Is from five
to six feet deep all around the town,
there being an area of only about a
half mile square protected from the
flood. The stage Is about six inches
higher than in 1908.
Although strenuous precautions
had been taken, the private levee
gave way IN the vicinity of the Rich
land Parish Lumber company's prop
erty at 1850 o'clock Monday morn
ing. The voter quickly flooded the
company's premises and covered the
section occupied by the negroes.
About four hundred negroes reside
in this section Some of them have
fled to the town proper but others
have remained in their houses which
are on foundations high enough to
keep the rooms clear of the flood.
Realizing the danger threatening
the town, a corps of white men set to
work Monday filling sacks with earth
and piling them against the railroad
cmbankments and taking other pre-
cautions This work was kept up all
night and ~ still being continued.
Much relief was felt Tuesday in the
belief that the levees have been taken
care of sufficiently to keep the waters
from the business and main residen-
tial sections.
The populG zion Of Rayville is about
1900.

gle tho hearts of her people have been

Washington's birthday was well
observed in Tulsa. the city and county
offices being closed most of the
day, while ne banks did no business
all day. Patriotic societies held spe-
cial ceremonies while there were
programs in most OF the grade
schools. Tho high school however,
held its regular sessions all day, as
two additional days vacation had
been given at Christmas and this, in
the estimation of the superintendent
Of education, was sufficient.
In the grade schools there were
elaborate programs designed for the
especial benefit of the youngsters,
and every one Of them thoroughly
enjoyed the efforts in their behalf.
There We're speeches and the like. In
most Of these exercises the parents
had been invited to participate and
the manner in which they responded
surprised even the teachers. Those
of some kind yesterday morning or
afternoon held them last night, and
all were well attended.
The Horace Mann and Riverview
parents-tea hers associations held a
considerably out of the ordinary for
an affair of the kind. An elaborate
program had been arranged which
was thoroughly enjoyed. The Irving
school celebrated yesterday after
noon. but the program of the Wash

Because of interference by amateur
wireless operators the wireless test
message on preparedness sent out
! from the Davenport, Iowa, station by

declares that the war department is
going to take immediate steps to put
an end to this Interference by anna

the violators to the full extent of the
law.
Officers at the army post believe
they have information which will
lead to the identity Of the guilty per-
