On Mississippi Levee near Violet,

to carry off the Hum! waters of the
Mississippi rushing down toward New
Orleans was being created here today
b.v state engineers in the dynamiting
of a section of (he levee 12 miles below
Crescent City.
governor Simpson, Major General
Jndwin chief of army engineers, and
other high officials watched the o|>ern
tions ifrom craft unoving hack and
forth on the swift, moving wnter. The
troops stood guard along the levee
and the roads to New Orleans which
were closed three hours before the
time set for the blast at high noon.
Coast gunrd cutters patrolled the river
to keep craft from the danger points
created by the Xingara-like rush of
the waters once the opening has been
made over a stretch of 1,000 feet be
tween St. Bernard and Plaquemines
parishes, most of whieh eventually
will be flooded.
The spot selected for the break was
directly in front of a now deserted
small canning village, and 100 yards
south of the sharp bend in the river
where the 1022 crevasse occurred.
Dynamite was sunk at intervals
over a stretch of levee 1.000 feet. En- j
giners sank 72.% pounds of explosives
in three widely scattered rows with ;
4S holes to each row, with approxi- ,
mately five pounds in each hole.
A huge steel frame tower supporting |
a beacon light for Mississippi river !
pilots was almost directly in the cen
ter ot the stretch of levee selected for
the cervasse which it is hoped will
relieve New Orleans from further flood
danger.
Residents of the vast territory to
he inundated still were moving out
during 40e morning hours, their house:
"““hftM goofls piled high ou private and
military trucks. Here and there men i
were to be seen driving mules and i
orses from the danger area. . A i
survey of the teritory in, the vicinity I
of the break showed scores of deserted |
homes. Cross roads stores had been
nbonndoned and their stocks moved
to high ground.
Operations Delayed.
On the Mississippi I.cvee Near Vio
let. la., April 2ft. —(4>)—More tlmn
an hour's delay in the blasting of the
crevasse on the Mississippi River levee
south of here was made necessary to
day because the engineers planting
the dynamite were unable to complete
their task at noon which had been set
as the zero hour.
Officers of the Louisiana National
Guard patrolling a part of the yast
1 area to be inundated in an effort to
save New Orleans from the great
flood, announced that the breaek would
occur some time between 1 and 2 p. m.
Coast patrol boats and craft bear
ing Governor Simpson and others of
the official party circled about th?
river off the point selected for the
break patiently waiting for the sig
nul from the engineers’ tug.
Plight of Refugees Desperate.
rattle Roek. Arkansas, April 2ft. —
(A 3 )—The plight of 700 to 1,000 per
sons who are still marooned in the
flooded lowlands of Chicot County Ark
ansas. was described as desperate to
day in a report to the Associated Press
by Major J. C. Gillison of laike Vil
lage.
"They are clinging to small rafts
and Uoatiug trees in water 20 to 30
feet deep, packed like sardines in barn
lofts and other places that have not
been reached by the raging water”
the Major said. ‘This number does
not include 500 negroes, known to be
huddled into barn lofts and other
places in oue plantation.”
Thirty motor boats worked all day
yesterday rescuing the inhabitants of
the lowlands and today the labor was
resumed. The refugees are brought
first to' laike Village which is itself
under three feet of water. Later

The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, April 20.—One of the most
interesting sessions of the twenty-fifth
annual convention of the North Caro
lina Federation of Woman's Clubs,
which will be held in Durham May
2nd to sth, is expected to be the
anniversary program on Wednesday
night. May 4th, when Judge Walter
I’. Stacy, chief justice of the North
Carolina Supreme Court will make
the principal address. He it) expected
to discuss some phases of constitu
tional government and some of the
different phases of citizenship. Those
in charge of the program for the con
vention feel much gratified that they
havi‘ been able to secure Judge Stacy
for this address, feeling that by so
doing they are more closely linking
up the activities of the federation with
the State government.
But this is only one feature of a
program that is crowded with worth
while and interesting sessions. Mon
day night the convention will be called
to order by Mrs. E. 1,. McKee, presi
dent, after which she will deliver the
president's address. There will be
numerous breakfast and luncheon con
ferences on Tuesday and Tuesday
night the feature address will be de
livered by Mrs. John I>. Sherman, of
Chicago and Ester Park, Colorado,
president of the General Federation
of Woman’s Clubs.

Federation. Miss Louisa Poppcnheim,
now of Charleston, S. (’.. and the
eleven past presidents will be the
honor guests, each dressed in the cos
tume which whs the vogue at the time
each was president of the federation.
It is a pleasing ami singular fai t that
none of the presidents of the federa
tion have been removed by death since
its founding, but after twenty-five
years, are still active serving the fed
eration as members. Following the
anniversary dinner, Chief Justice
Stacy will deliver his address.
Thursday morning will be devoted
to the "club institute.” which is ex
pected to be of great interest and value
to the many delegates from all sec
tions of the state. The headquarters
for the convention will be at the
Washington Duke Hotel, and most of
the sessions will be held there.
