ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN MOVE
AGAINST DRY LAW ENFORCEMENT

bodies are "dry," but see victory
by recent legislative develop
ments.
In Illinois, the anti-prOhibitiOn-
lists point out the fact that the
senate yesterday showed a liberal
tinge by passing the measure
providing for the legalizing OF
pari-mutuel horse race betting.
In the Illinois house, a Chicago
delegation voted almost sOlidly
for the referendum, and backed
by 20 dOwnstate representatives,
claimed that prohibition was to
blame for the agricultural de-
preston in the middIewest, for
the increase in crime, for making
"this nation of Iawbreakers,"
and for increasing instead of
decreasing drunkenness" OppO-
nentS of the referendum argued
that as long as there is federal
prohibition it would be betetr to
have state enforcement, which
the wet element is certain would
be rejected in state referendum.

WATERS
RISE RAPIDLY
Outflow From Crevasses
Estimated at 100000 Gu.
Ft. per Second.
ABOVE RAILWAY
Dozen Small Towns Have
Disappeared In Sweep of
Waters South.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 10 (R.-
The extent of the flood waters sweep
ing down the Atchafalaya BASIN to the
Gulf of Mexico was deemed so great
tonight that the weather bureau at New
Orleans issued a warning to the in
habitants of ST. Martinsville that the
lake would probably enter that town
between May 25 and 30.
The outflow from the crevasseS along
Bayou DeS GlaiseS and at Melville on
the Atchafalaya was estimated at
100000 cubic feet Of water a second,
which, the weather bureau said, would
carry an average depth of eight feet
above the rails of the Southern Pacific
branch line between the Lafayette
highlands and the Atchafalaya river,
and overflow the loWlands behind
Bayou Techedown to and around st.
Martinsville.
Already the flood had spread far
down the valley from the crevasses,
which are between 100 and ITO miles
northwest of New Orleans and on the
opposite side of the Mississippi. The
spread had carried backwater into
Iberville parish. Port Barre, Corta-
bleau and a dozen smaller towns in
Avoyelles and st. Landry parishes al
ready had disappeared and the sweep
was carrying the flood southwark into
St. Martins parish.
Thousands already had evacuated
their homes, but many clung to their
little farms until the water drove them
from fields where they had been work.
ing. Refugee camps at Lafayette,
Marksville, Alexandria and Mansura
were crowded. So densely were some
of them packed that it became neces-
sary to open another at Eunice and a
thousand refugees had been taken there
today.
Motor boats, trucks and special
trains continued their work of rescue,
boats being used in the upper Atcha-
falaya basin and trucks aiding in the
evacuation of the lower valley.
Two hundred persons remained on
the levee at Melville, refusing to
leave. Arrangements were made by the
Red Cross to send them food regularly
The Texas and Pacific railroad found
/ it necessary to discontinue all train
service across the flood torn area today,
running only local trains from New
Orleans to Red Cross, La, on the edge
of the lake. On the other side of the
flooded sections, their trains will
operate from Fort Worth to Bunkie.
Flood damage in Louisiana alone has
already reached the proportions of a
major national disaster, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover said here tonight
just before boarding his train for
Alexandria. Secretary Hoover said that
he was not taking into consideration
the damage in other states, and added
that "the end is not yet"
! Approximately 25O,OOO persons have
been affected by the flood in Louisiana
so far.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-20

Sixteen beautiful senOritas and
senoras, representing the elite and
beauty of Aqua Prieta and north
ern Sonora, will be in Bisbee and
Douglas today selling tickets to
the flood relief fair and fiesta to
be held tomorrow evening at the
Club SOciale, Aqua Prieta.
IgnaciO Soto, chairman of the
general committee of distinguish
ed Mexicans sponsoring the fair,
and his many and charitable as
sOciates have induced these young
Mexican society women from Aqua
Prieta and northern Sonora to sell
admission tickets to the fair on
the streets of the two cities. Out
of the fullness of the charity in
their hearts, these young women
have consented to lay aside their
pleasures and home duties to work
for the welfare of the suffering
men, women and children of the
Mississippi valley of the United
States.
LgnaciO Soto and t. de Ia Cara
will be in Bisbee with eight young
