SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS ONIA DA A2ETTE - Weather: Fair FARMERS FEAR BIG LOSS FROM FLOOD WATERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER Approximately 75,000 Acres of Land Near Cairo, 111., Is Inundated Wage Losing Fight Against Inroads of Flood Waters. (By The Associated Press.) CAIRO, Iris., April 15. Loss of more than 1,000,000 worth of crops is feared by farmers residing iu four drainage districts north of Cairo, as a result of flood waters of the Mississippi river. A area of approximately 75,000 acres being inundated, and all families in the districts have left their homes for higher ground. Preston drainage district, in Union eouuty, is flooded and leeves dividing this district from the Clear Creek dis trict, the north Alexander district, and the east Cape Girardeau district cannot stand the strain of the approaching flood and probably will be forced to give away at any moment, according to commissioners of the district. Hundreds of citizens are working to strengthen the levees, but most of them admit they are engaged iu a losing fight. The Preston district was mun dated yesterday when the river tore out , a 200 foot section ot the levee auu Aldrige. With the river continuing to rise, all preparations have been made for evac uating the threatened area. The sev eral towns iu the section are not ex pected to be flooded. Although high water will surround them, and their on ly outlet will bo by boat, livestock is being taken to higher land by boats. 8T. LOUIH, April 15.

Financial and Economic Experts Of Europe Continue Discussion Of How To Put Russia on Feet OEXOA, April 15. Financial and economic experts of Great Britain, France, Italy and Hclgium gathered to day to continue the discussion begun vesterdav of the condition under which the rehabilitation of Russia will be un- ' ili.rtaken Thev n-i.ro t.k u ifiincit bv the principal delegates of the four in viting powers and soviet Russia in the afternoon. The discussions were started yesterday at an informal meeting of the more im- portant delegates' in the villa of Mr. Lloyd George, British Prime Minister, the basis of negotiating 'being the report prepared by the allied experts in London, copies of which were handed to the Rus sians earlier ill the week. The soviet delegates were to have made their reply to the reiKirt today, but this has- been postponed indefinitely and will prolubly be based ou the under standing reached at the present series of conferences. It is understood that the soviet delegates have expressed williug- i nes to acknowledge Kussiu a pre-war debts and 1o cancel their claims against the Allies if the Allies will do likewise with Russia's war debts. Yesterday's informal meeting really marked the inauguration of a steering Mr. Wilson Authorized No Message and Break With Tumulty Result Mr. Tumulty, Private Secretary to the Ex-President For Eigh1 Years and One of Wilson's Few Remaining Friends, Is Re buked Tumultv Expresses Inside the Democratic Party. (('. W. (iilliert, in Greensboro News. ) WASHINGTON. April 13 . The break between ex-President Wilson and his former secretary, Joseph P. Tumul- ty over the message delivered by the atter at the Jefferson day dinner to James M. Cox has caused a sensation I in Washington. Mr. Tumulty was al pinist the last of the men who have been close to Mr. Wilson throughout his long I political career to remain his fricud. Ail the others have gone. It is a long list. Ambassador Harvey, Jim Smith. Henry Watterson, former Na tional Chairman McCombs, ex-Secretary Lindhy M. Garrison, William J. Bry an, ex Secretary Lane, Col. Edward M. House, ex Secretary Lansing and now Mr. Tumulty. The issue between the to men is this: Mr. Tumulty had a conversation with his former chief. He conveyed to the Cox dinner what he regarded as a message. Mr. Wilson now declares that he authorized no message. Mr. Tu multy expresses his regret and says that he would not have delivered a message unless he thought it was authorized. The misunderstanding can never be nff;re to At.i'",:"v'1 "l" :,s 11 1S "0T 1T'"'l' "ai unicers 10 fti . Mf Tuinulty hu ything in writing I from the ex 'resident .

I Mr. Tumultv as private secretary had I icon in the habit of using his discro- , tion in putting the President's attitude 'before the public. In spite of the fact 1 I that he had an imperious man to deal with, Mr. Tumulty up till now had al-: j ways used his discretion successfully.; i Having much political sense aud in tense loyalty to Mr. Wilson, he never, (made mistakes. This perhaps made him over confident . ' Tumulty Served Wilson Well. An instance of how Mr. Tumultv in t l,o past served Mr. Wilson occurred' during the Lusitania incident. Mr. i Bryan, then secretary of state, per- j suadeil Mr. Wilson to submit the Lusi- j tania sinking to arbitration. It was decided that Secretary" Tumulty should j break the news to the public, neither Mr. Wilson nor Mr. Bryan caring to make such an unpopular announcement, j Mr. Tumulty declined to give out the news. ins posnion was uiai inc loss of American lives could not be arbi trated. The President was angry over this insubordination and for a while it looked as if Mr. Tumulty would cease' to be private secretary. j But his secretary'8 firmness gave the President an opportunity to reconsiuer i advice of Mr. Itryan. Mr. Tu-1 multv remained in office and the break! with Mr. Bryan resulted. I mention this incident which is not generally known to show how much more than a runner Mamp -ir. iiimuiiy was in the past administration and how he came to regard him as free to use his message senuned to indicate that the . x judgment about the alleged; n-jsage, j President desired to h ave his1 party once which seems to an outsider too nearly in- j more go before the country on the league nocuous to cause the explosion it has. issue. Mr. Wilson's friends take the ground; that Mr. Tumulty went too far in using as a nwssage at the Cox dinner the sub stance of a conversation. The ex-Vresi-dent has maintained since his retirement a silence unon controversial issues, whether between his purty ami the Tie- j publicans or between factions in his own party. Therefore they say that the j ex-1'res.ideut had no choice tint to dis-1 avow publicly the alleged message. Row Inside The Party. Mr. Tumulty's friends on the other j handi assert that the message did repre-1 acr.i Mr. Wilson V wotiinentS. And thev! point to tanou letters bich he ha j mitten to ali&ipers from time to time j committee., and is in lino with the ef forts of Mr. Lloyd George and other lead ers to speed up the work of the confer ence. It is believed differences of opin ion can be more easily adjusted in pri vate conference, thus eliminating long debates at full sessions of the various commissions of which the conference proper is composed. There has been a total absence of formal dinners and luncheons, 'but the leaders are dining j together in small groups and utilizing the meal time for conference business. The designation of numbers of small j nub-commissions also is in line with this I policy of ttinie saving. Under this scheme, consideration of the main suli jeets is left chiefly to experts and inter j medialde discussions by those nut thor- oughly informed are avoided. One month lias been set as the time j limit in which the diplomats generally expect it will be known whether the con i ferencc can achieve its purpose. Mr. Lloyd George expects to leave on April j and iM making every effort to havo i the big decisions arranged before then. I Although the conference worked unin : tcrruptedly through Good Friday, it wa.s announced today there will be no meet ing of commissions on Easter Sunday. Regret Row Among Leaders ami whi ' Print- h haw: found their way into Rack of Democrat ie. it all is the division in the oartv between Mr. Cox and 1 the McAdoo clement and the personal jealousy existing among those who are j "close to Mr. Wilson," some of whom I have long wished to eliminate the in ' llucuce of Mr. Tumulty. ', The message bciiiij given out at a Cox dinner was construed as a half imlors nient of Cox to the indignation of tin M. Adoo faction. This was all the more distasteful to Mr. Wils-.m and to some of those about him because Mr. Miv A.l'.o is Mr. Wilson's son in law. j Additional point was given this inter iprctation by reason of the fact that Mr. j Tumulty inclined to the Cox or the ' Palmer element in the Democratic part v. It was made to look as if a friend of I Mr. Cox had used his familiarity with 'the ex President to drag the ex President 1 into the party division on the side ol j Aimmg Mr. W ilson's friends, the Me- . A duo (dement perhaps, there h:is been ; much quiet criticism of Mr. Tumulty s j book. "Wooilrow Wilson As 1 Knew 'Him." It was said that Mr. Tiimutly's revelations were not always in good taste and that they tended to belittle , the President ami magnify the priva'bl secretary. Since the book was publish- C.l there has been a certain marshaling j of the forces against Mr. Tumulty. j It is said, however, by those close to! the ex-President that he did not read the! Tumulty book and Mr. Tumulty con- j tinned to receive pleasant notes from his former chief after its publication. And! as the disclosures regarding the niessa:,'e 1 show, Mr. Tumulty continued to be one j of tho few who had access to the Wilson i home. ! The reading of the message and the factional interpretation seems to have ; given Mr. Tumulty's enemies I he op portunity they were looking for. The indisgretions of t ho book. Mr. Tumultv':: i alignment with a faction of the party : that is opposed to Mr. Wilson s son in law. the unwisdom of producing a im s- ! sage at a dinner of the anti M. Adooj faction. Mr. Wilson's illness and im-; pernios1 temper all seem to have contri-' buted to the break. Wilson Further Isolated. Democratic dissensions are brought j into sharp relief by the Wilson-Tumulty-incident. At San Francisco Mr. Mc ! Adeo's friends felt that Mr. Wilson leaned oxer backward in hi unwilling- ness to use his influence for his son ini ; law in the convention.- And the appear anclo of a Wi'son message at a Cox din ner wa? especially obnoxious to then. On the other hand. Democrats ip;!',. generally of the McAdoo stripe, as w. -I as others, are put out owr Cox 's leag.i. of nations speech at the dinner. T'ic , pressing of this issue forward is ' Warded as bad f Klit i-s And the WY- . The ireak with Mr. Tumu'tv carr :. further the isolation of Mr. VfiUmi.

A small round flask of glass, holding few ounces of veal broth, owned by a Philadelphia is one of the most treasured relics of modern science, it wa sdisclostd here during the cen tennary celebration of the birth of Louis Pasteur, father of modern medi cine. The broth was exhibited by Dr. Ernest La Place a surgeon to whom the flask was presented by Dr. Pas teur. Dr. La Place as twhe French man's first merican pupil. The flask of broth is 74 years old and was said to be Pasteur's proof of his theory of micro-organic life the gtrra theory on which the modern structure of medicine and surgery is based. The veal broth is as clear and uncontaminated now as it was when it was placed in the flask and is said to show there can be no decomposition without germ growth and no germ growth without contamination. It was Dr. Pasteur who evolved step by step the theory that all de composition was due tu tha action of micro-organic life; tlut killing the germs would stop the processes, and that the germs did not aiise in a cubstance of their own accord, but came from without. He took sixty flasks, filled with the veal broth, sterilized the btoth by heat and then scaled slender necks of the flasks by fusing the glass. Twenty of the flasks remained sealed and their broth remained pure. Others he opened at various places i'f demonstrate his theory.

Enormous crowds are attending the' trial of John Honeycutt, former Gaston county man, charged with a series of, midnight depredations last fall in Kuux- ville, Tenn.

Fred McMillan, for tho defense, closely examined members of the regular jury panel called into the1 box with the result that court was tied up early in the afternoon with only six .jurors in tho box and no more frooC whom to draw. Nine members, of the; regular panel were serving on the Gar.l ! in r jury and the court ordered an ad 1 jouriunent until this morning iu the hope that the Grand jury by that time might be discharged. Nettie Myers, considered probably the star witness for the state and whose whereabouts has been the subject of, much inquiry and speculation, is in th. city and will be introduced by t lu st ate early in the trial, it was learned.!

Mr. McMillan has insisted that this woman was being kept in hiding by the prosccutori iu the Honeycutt case and he has demanded to know where sin' might be found. Al o!ie time he an nounced that he was eontciiipmt nig pro ceedings to compell tlu police to re-i , veal her last known address.

Iiepublican leaders are preparing for the struggle. A call went out today to majority senators for a party con ference next Tuesday. Senator Curtisj of Kansas, the Iiepublican whip, said the principal purpose was to impress upon the senators tho necessity for their presonce ou tho senate floor throughout consideration of the meas ure. Whither the tariff bill can be enact ed nt this session is regarded by many at the capitol as doubtful. Were this any but an election year they would anticipate little difficulty iu holding Congress iu Washington to enact it, but many members, and more particu larly those of the House, desire to bo back home during tho campaign. There is some talk now about a re cess of tin days after the Senate acts ou the bill. The work on the measure in conference will require nearly if not all of two months and those favoring the idea of a recess argue that no tinis would be lost through that procedure as the conferees could be iu action while Congress was away. There are those among the Republi cans who do not look with favor upon th lactment of a tariff biH just be fore elections. They say there always is dissatisfaction over any tariff meas ure. Admittedly, however, the dis cussion now as to when the measure is to get through is mere discussion with, tae future too uncertain for the form ulating of any definite plans. Tin- Senate is facing a crush of high-' ly important business, including, be sides l lie tariff, the soldiers' bonus, the) army. navy, and other appropriation bills and tlx- ship subsidy measure. While the tariff is to be called up next'4 Thursday, it will have to be laid aside from time to time for some of the oth er important bills. Until the program, can be'laid out with more accuracy than is possible at this time, one guess as to what will be tho fate of the tariff at this session admittedly is about as good as another. The House is making fairly rapid strides at (dealing its calendar aud leaders there expect to be through cer tainly by the first of July. They an ticipate difficulty in keeping the mem bers on the job after that time aud are endeavoring to get the Senate to speed its work. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BEING HELD TODAY d,,.;,, nburv.
