IS GROWING WORSE Flood Situation On the Mississippi Creates the Most Serious Alarm. The Capital of Louisiana Feared to Be in Grave Danger From Overwhelming Flood. Every Able-Bodied Man, White and Black, Pressed Into Service on Dykes. New Orleans, March 14.—The rumor that Arlington levee, four miles below Baton Rouge, on the east bank of the Mississippi river, had broken, is untrue. Vicksburg, Miss., March 14—The flood situation in this section is steadily growing worse. It is greatly intensified by the continual heavy rains. While the engineers and officials of levee boards are keeping up a’ brave front, it is plain to be seen that they fear the worst. M. P. Robertson, assistant engineer of the Fifth Louisiana district levee board, who has established headquarters here, received a telephone message from Commissioner Ramsdell at Lake Providence, saying that he had just returned from an inspection of the levees from Providence to the Arkansas line and found the embankments in fairly good shape. “While the situation is serious,” he says, “we feel confident of holding the entire line.” A new short levee just north of Lake Providence is causing the most concern. On the lower Yazoo several of the finest plantations in Warren county are submerged. Specials from Donaldson and Paton Rouge tell of intense excitement at those points, as the Arlington levee near the Louisiana capital is feared to be In grave danger. Every able-bodied man. white and black, is being pressed into service and rushed to the danger point. In Vicksburg the tracks of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley and the Alabama and Vicksburg railroads are imperiled by the rising waters. LEVEE OVERTOPPED Points in Mississippi Are in the Gravest Danger. Natchez. Miss.. March 14.—At Ashland the levee is overtopped by the river. The relief boat St. Joseph is there now. Everybody in the southeastern section of Jefferson county is ready to move. The protection levee in front of the Texas & Pacific embankment at Bougere has been torn away by the water which is now pouring against the embankment. The railroad has a large force of men and a work-train raising its roadben. which Is protecting a part of Concordia Parish, La. The Betsy Ann has arrived from Bayou Sara with her cabin full of flood refugees and carrying stock and cotton. It has been raining since early Thursday night. Gauge is 47.5, rising. Danger line is 44 feet. A New Inland Lake. Evansville, Ind., March 14.—The Ohio river is falling slowly here. The Wabash river below Mount Vernon Is over ten miles wide. It takes in the Kentucky atrip opposite Mount Vernon and land cannot be seen any place. Farmers continue to move their stock and household effects. The scare Bseirs to be over at Shawneetown and the levees are sound. Past Danger Line. Cincinnati. March 14. —The river reached the danger line of 50 feet here at 10 o'clock last night. The indications are that It will rise slowly until a stage of 52 feet Is reached, which Is expected by Sunday night, when It will begin falling slowly. SWEEPING INJUNCTION Kansas City Strikers Restrained by • Order of Court. Kansas City, March 14.—Judge John F. Phillipa, In the United States district court yesterday afternoon, issued a sweeping injunction restraining all members of the local team drivers’ union from Interfering with the business of eleven of the transfer companies of the city whose men are on a strike. The eleven companies petitioned the court yesterday to restrain the strikers and their sympathisers on the ground that Interference with wagons on the way to the depots and shipping yards was In violation of the Interstate commerce laws. The plaintiffs argued that goods arc In transit In the meaning of the law from the moment they aro loaded Into a wagon, when a receipt is given by the transfer company, and their contention was upheld hy the court. The injunction, which is a temporary one, is made returnable on March 20. Death of Party Leader. Naples, March 14.—Signor Bovlo, the leader of the Republican party In the Italian chamber, died yesterday. Five Thousand Rifles Sized . Hong Kong. March 14. —Five thousand rifles ready for conveyance into the interior were seized yesterday.

The Jury was then discharged. The court held that if there was any violation of law by the operators it was a violation of the interstate commerce law and not of the Illinois statutes. Such being the case, the offense is one for trial by a federal Jury. The attorneys for the coal combine were as Jubilant as the attorneys for the state were downcast.

I did not believe from the remarks that were made by the court during the argument that he would decide agalnsf the state.” “Until there is evidence brought to this office by those who are interested in the prosecution, I do not anticipate any steps on the part of the federal courts,” said Solomon Bethea, United States district attorney, when told of the decision. “I have not followed the case and have no comment to make on the finding. I have not talked with anyone who has led me to believe that the prosecution will reach the federal courts, although such a proceeding is not unlikely.” Ais rm on Western Coast.
