Half of a Railway Bridge
Near Little Rock Carried
Away and Rising Waters
Covering New Areas.
Memphis, April 21.-.oP)—Flood
terror in the Mississippi Valley gained
Iwo new victims today with a breach
ill the government levee north of
Greenville. Miss., at Stiq>s Landing,
and wrecking of the south end of the
Missouri Pacific railroad bridge across
the Arkansas River at Little Rock.
A quarter - of a million acres of the
richest farm lands in the world lie
in the path of the expanding overflow
in Mississippi which will swell to a
lake (it) miles wide to the ertst. and of
equal or greater length north and
sqnth.
Thousands of negro tenant farmers
live in menaced area which is dotted
also with a score of towns whose in
habitants will feel the scourge of the
waters which rush in rapidly and stay
indefinitely.
The rising tide of the Arkansas
today swept away the south half of
the Missouri Pacific bridge at Little
Rock where a bitter fight against the
eucroachment of the stream has been
in progress many days.
Meanwhile reports of diseases break
ing out in refugee camps were being
carried to Governor Martineau at Lit
tle Rock, and national guard authori
ties cooperating with the State Health
1 lepartinent today were exerting every
means to meet the situation by send
ing doctors, nurses, medical supplies
and sanitary supervisors to the affect
ed placed - .
Mumps, measles and whooping cough
have attacked the refugees gathered
in camps at Wynne, Parkin. McClel
land and Van Buren, and it is feared
these diseases and others are afflicting
the distressed and homeless iiersons
in other''communities.
The main defense of the Mississippi
River at Whitehall Arjf..
~tias crumbled,- but this took the form
of an enlargement of the mouth of
the St. Francis River above Helena
and was not disastrous in effect.
Levee guardians nt Hickman. Ky.,
and south of the Ree'.foot levee today
were holding the embankment by force
of manpower.
At Knowlton, Ark., another serious
situation prevailed with the waves
slopping over the earthen wall.
At Clarenton, Ark., the White Riv
er still rode through the streets in
tragic triumph today, while inhabi
tants crouched in upper floors or on
toi* of buildings. Refugees from
Clarenton believe that the loss of life
there was small, if indeed any had
died in the flood.
As heavy rains continued to pour
down today throughout the central
South, swelling the southbound tor
rents and ndding distress to tens of
thousands of homeless, a forecast of
freezing temperature from Memphis
and vicinity was issued from the Mem
phis weather bureau.
Memphis may expect the crest of
the Mississippi flood on Sunday, the
official river bulletin said, and the
current may go higher than the 46-foot
stage which had been previously pre
dicted.
OoM Wave Brings Suffering.
Little Rock, ArTt.. April 21.— UP) —
Thousands of flood refugees sheltered
in tents and heatless buildings were
terror stricken today by news that a
colil wave bringing freezing tempera
tun's was sweeping down on Arkan
sas.
The unseasonably cold spell was
heralded today by drops in tempera
tures throughout the state which al
ready have added to the discomfort of
flood refugees.
Freezing temperatures were pre
dicted for tonight in Little Bock sec-,
tion by the IT.l T . S. Weather Bureau,
while in the northwest sections of the
State the mercury will go still lower.
Clearing skies, however, gave hopes
that the end of the rains which have
sent rivers and other streams to
highest stages in the century has
come.
Suffering will be intense in the
flood refugee camps if temperatures go
as low as predicted tonight, relief

Durham Discusses Letter He Sent
To Salary and Wage Chairman
Tribune Bureau |
Sir Walter Hotel.
By J. C. BASKERVILL. i
Raleigh. April 21. —The hubirt* that
nrose over the most recent order of the
salary and wage commission prohibit- i
ing heads of the departments from
employing relatives of any existing
state employes has now slowed down
to little more than a simmer, and at
present is centering entirely around
the legal aspects of the situation,
rather than concerning the principles
involved.
The climax in the controversy was
reached when the letter of Baxter
Durham, state auditor, to Julian ,
Price, chairman, said the salary and
wage commission had exceeded its au
thority under the existing law, and
cited an existing opinion by the at
torney general to support his point.
He further stated that until the at
torney general should rule differently,
he would continue to issue pay vouch
ers as heretofore, and would disregard
the order.
In commenting on the situation to
day, Mr. Durham said that he was
in no wise opposed to what the com-,
mission was attempting to do, and
that he at no time favored the em
ployment of relatives of other state
employes either in his own depart
ment or in o'her departments. He
declared that as far as he was con
cerned it was merely a matter of law
interpretation, and that until the at
torney general ruled to uphold the
commission, he would continue to ob
serve the law as he now understands
it.
“The existing law gives to the sal
ary and wage commission the power
to classify state employes, and to fix
salary scales within these classifica
tions, and in doing this, it. also implies
the power to regulate the working
hours and fix holidays; But the law
certainly does not give the commission
the power to say to department heads
who they may and may not employ
—and that is what this ordpr amounts
to,’* Mr. Durham declared.

The motion was ill four sections:,

thnt it has the authority to back up

The same position ns held by Mr.

the order of the salary rind wage com

In w.
“If the commission had suggested
or recommended to the department
heads that they seek hereafter to avoid
the appointment of employes who are
related to persons already in the em
ploy of the state, and had made the
suggestion in the form of a recom
mendation, it would have been entire
ly within its rights, and not a single
state department would have object
ed in the least,” said Mr. Grist
“ However, the commission chose to
make it an order instead of a recom
mendation, and to make the order
mandatory. And in this it has un
doubtedly exceeded its authority."
The bulk of the state employes seem'
little concerned over the matter, the
majority evidently taking the position
that it is no affair of theirs, since
it effects existing employes not at all
A feiw are vocal in their praise of the
position taken by Durham and Grist,
but the majority seem entirely in
different, though some are heartily in
favor of the anti-nepotism regulation.
Some of the most ardent friends of
the salary and wage comission and
of the principles involved in the order
against nepotism, are iuclined to agree
after studying the matter over, that
the authority by which the order was
issued was more implied than specified,
that it is not likely to be upheld if
brrfught to a court or legal test. They
contend with Mr. Price, the chairman
of the coimnissiop, however, thnt the
order is designed for the protection
of existing employes, and to further
eliminate politics from the appoint
ment of state employes, and that the
order in principal is a good thing.
Whether or not the order will act
ually be tested out iff court remains
to be seen.

“SWATTING TIME” IS
HERE. ADVISES EXPERT
J j Public Should Be Particularly Care
| ful To Keep Flies From Food
I Stuff.
Tribune Rurenu
I Sir Waltpr Hotel,
j Raleigh. April 21.—With the ad
_ I vent ol warm weather come the Hies.
[ I which means that the utmost pre
|cautions should be taken to protect
_ | the family milk supply front infec
tion. in order to protect the health of
J tie children, and especially of the
babies, according to I)r. G. M. Cooper,
of the Educational division of the
State Hoard of Health.
One of the first stejis toward better
_ health this summer in all parts of
I the state, is to eliminate flies as far
p lls possible, through home and farm j
n sanitation, according to Dr. Cooper. !
n This can be done first through the j
elimination of rubbish and garbage j
heaps in the vicinity of the house, I
r where flies may breed, and on the (
j farms through the elimination of the j
old-fashioned manure pile, which is j
the favorite breeding place of Hies,
j. The next step in banishing the
house fly, and thus insuring milk and
food against contamination from the
fly, is the careful and thorough
I screening of the house. It is virtually
impossible, the experience of the Board
; shows, to prevent milk and food in
, fectinn, unless the houses are well
screened against flies.
But all this is not sufficient to
insure absolute safety, especially with
regard to milk that is fed infants and
! babies. For no matter how many
precautions are taken, it is impossible
' to guard absolutely aguinst infection,
■ which may come about from so many
■ different sources, especially those
germs which produce typhoid and
colitis.
; Milk which is fed to babies should
■i be pasteurized or where that is not
j possible, boiled for a few minutes, and
i then allowed to cool, before being fed.
I I For even if the milk is Grade A raw
milk, with a low bacteria county, and
apparently pure and uncontanvinated !
at the source, the only way to b«
absolutely sufe is to pasteurize or boil
the milk before it is fed, according
' to Dr. Cooper. If this is done, there
J is little chance of colitis or typhoid
| developing.
1 FISHING UWS FOR j,
STATE NOT CHANGED
, Laws Calling For Licenses Do Not Af
fect Closed of Open Seasons.
The Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. April 21.—Laws and reg
ulations regarding closed seasons and
for the protection of fish in the wnt
' _ ers of North Carolina are not affected
in any way by the application of the
newly enacted fishing license laws, .1.
K. Dixon, assistant director of the
1 Department of Conservation and De
velopment declared today.
"There has been a great deal of
confusion regarding the status of pre
vious laws and regulations governing
game fishing since the new anglers'
license bill went into effect,” explain
ed Assistant Director Dixon. “but
no change has been made in the
laws and regulations for the protec
tion of our game fish. The law spe
, cifically states that this act shall not
be construed to repeal other laws not
in conflict herewith for the protection
of fish.
"The only effect of the new law up
on the old ones is in repealing prev
iously enacted anglers’ license laws
that applied only to individual coun
ties. Open and closed seasons remain
the same over the entire state where
they were established by special bills
or regulations of the board.’’
After a tour through 21 counties of
the State, Assistant Director Dixon
finds that the public is well p'eased
with the anglers' license law and that
the majority of the people are eager
to co-operate in the work.
“If the people of the various coun
ties will co-operate with the depart
ment as heartily as they have indi
cated and they will, we hope to re
store game fishing in this state to
what it once was,” said Mr. Dixon.
All funds collected under the act will
be used in propagating and protcct
. ing the game fish, and all sportsmen
■ who are interested in seeing this
work go forward should encourage
others to buy licenses.”
