pants to the Roofs. Loss
Cannot Be Estimated
Tal'ulah, La., April I6 -Aa far as
thi rye can reach north, east and west
from the highest point in this town,
nolhing'bnt water can be seen. The
Miesisippi river's flood tide escaped
from a break io the levee ne r Alsatta,
is sweeping through town with the speed
of a mill race. Many buildings are
afloat. 'Scores of persons dtiven even
f;om the roofs of their dwellings in
Tallu'ah now are homeless. A mile and
a half north of here along the Iron
Mountain Railroad, the water is up to
the cross arms of the telegraph poles.
It is believed that further out the poles
are submerged.
Before the water came Sunday morn
ing there was a boat of some kind on
near ly every front porch or a raft in the
yard. Now the atreeta are full of boats
and rafts carrying household goods to
places of safety, or getting people out
of their overflowed houses as the floors.

section of northeast Louisiana already

to eitimatetbe monetary loss.
Thousauds of head of cattle, sheep
an I hogs will pei i.h before the floods
cease. Tbonsands of acres of land, much
of it already planted, are ruined. Nine-
tenths of the population in the over

they never have more than the bare

Organized' Propaganda to This
End by Roosevelt Says Taft
Managers.
Waahington, April 16. A statemen'
in part as follows was issued from the
National Taft Bureau, after vi.it t
trie yv nice nouse or omciais ot the t'rem
dent's campaign headquarters.
"Former Preeidi nt Theodore Roose
velt in his campaign for nomination for
a third term in the White House, is con
ducting an organized propaganda to
wreck the Republican party. No wort
or deed has up to this time been to '
mendacious or too mean, either on hiB
own part or on tha part of his under
strappess, to accomplish the recognized
end they have in view."
The statement refers to Col. Roos
velt's attack upon political leaders in
New York and other States and saa
that he "has cited alleged facts not on
ly about Indiana, but New York and
Kentucky, which, when shown to be ab
solutely raise in every particular, were
nevertheless not corrected by liim'In
contrast the conduct of Frefident Taft
and his supporters, "says the statement,
stands forth as a sincere endeavor to
maintain the Republican party and only
in accordance with its principles and
tenets, but as a militant political or
ganization which wins victories at tht
polls.
"The deliberate, reckless and men
daci- ua campa gn of Theodore Roohc
velt for the wrecking of the Republican
party is called to the attention of the
country in order that the issues here
after may not be miiunderstood."
Col. Roosevelt's Nebraska Kans:ts
trip, which begins from New York, is
to be extended to Arkansas and North
Carolina. It was announced by Senator
Dixon, at the Roosevelt h idquarters
here, that the Western tour will end nt
Little Rock, Ark , Saturday night, and
that Col. Roosevelt will then return by
the Southern route, making k speech at
Greensboro, N, C Monday, He will
reach New York next Tuesday.
Forty persois were drowned by the
capsizing of a boat at Amoy.
which could be applied to the loss. The
cost of building the great liner has been
estimated at $10,000,000. although Vice
Pi esident Franklin of the White Star
Line, insisted that her value waa not
over S8 000,000.
The total monetary loss caused by the
sinking of the ship, however, is certain
to run to many millions more, but the
total amount cannot even be conjectur
ed. It is generally understood that the
vessel had aboard diamund of gre it
value, estimated aa high aa 15,000,000
and also a large amount of bond i. The
amount of f reight carried, according to
a White Star official, would not reach
over 15,000,000.
The Titanic carried 3. 342 burs of mail
of unknown value, which it is hardly
likely to be savid.
