MORE LEVEES CIVE WAY —_ Soutbern Bituation Offers Slight Encourage- ment, Though Northern Waters Halt. POSITION CRITICAL FROM MEMPHIS SOUTH Only Hope for Men and Land Now Lies in Remaining Embankments Re- sisting Vast Floods Pouring Down Mississippl. WASHINGTON, March 20.—The Weather bureau has issued the following special river bulleti The river situation is practically un- | changed. The Mississippl is stationary at Memphis and continues to rise below. At | New Orleans this morning the stage was | 196 reet foot mbout the previous high | water of 1867, The conditions from Memphie southward continue extremaly oritical. Future devel- opments depend almost wholly on the abil- ity of the levees to hold the water Dike Slipping Into River. GREENVILLE, Miss., March 20.—The pro- tection dike at Leland, Ark., is rapidly slipping Into the river, and it is Dow probable that the river will make a new channel, leaving Greenville in the interior. The situation is most grave. The river from Lunar, Ark., to Green- ville, via Leland, makes a bend of eighteen miles, and the current is very rapld, wash- ing against the main line of the levee. To protect this a dike was built, and it 18 this work that is going out. Captain F. D. Bollinger finds that €80 feet of the dike had been swept away, leaving but 250 feet intact. But one thing could save the levee, and the construction | of & “V"-shaped dike extending ffty teet from the levee has been commenced, but the work Is necessarily slow. The trouble here is that the river is four | teet above the 1897 mark and rising at the rate of half a foot a day. Heavy rain fell here last night, which will retard the work and add to the danger. The levee from Lunar to Leland is seep- ing badly, but the engineers do not regard this with apprehension . River Reaches Maximum, NEW ORLEANS, La., March 20—Th river marked 10.6 today, the maximum a tained during the record. Deyond the break at Bougere all the Loulsiana levees have thus far held. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 20.—Yester- day's feeling of hope was dispelled today by two additional breaks in the St. Fran- cis levees north of the first crevasss at Trice's Landing, Ark Today the levees gave way at Random | Shot and Shawnee village, Ark. Both | crevasses are reported to be serlous. | The situation therefore in Arkansas is | more grave than at ey time during the flood | A long line of levees that guard the | river tront of Mississipp! and protect the | | yast and fertile delta reglan of that state are reported to be in a critical condition at many points and news of disasters will not be surprising.

WANTS FREE RIDE TO COAST at Fremont, Neb Telln Sheriff that He Killed Girl in San Francisco, FREMONT, Neb., March 20.—Sheriff Bau- man hes a prisoner who is anxious to be punished for a murder that haunts him He Iniplores the sheriff to send him to Sau Francisco. Joha Bennett was the name he gave when he pounded at the fail door last night. He sald he wanted to get in as a prisoner and to the sheriff he told his story. He' said he choked to death a girl named Nora Ful- ler, at 1121 ‘Walnut street, San Francisco He would not tell why he did it, but said fhat after it was done he made a hasty journey from the city.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.—The police of this city apparently do not place much confidence in the story of the man under arrest at Fremont, Neb., and who says he s John Bennett, the murderer of Nora Fuller. It is suspected that the man is demented or is trying to obtain a free trip | to California. About a year ago the dead body of Nora Fuller, a 16-year-old girl, was found in a vacant house in Sutton street. The body wes nude when found and had been dead several days. A man glving the name of John Bemnett had rented the house, and Nora Fuller had answered an advertisement Inserted in a morning newspaper by John Bennett. The police after investigation declared that Bennett and Charles B. Hadley, an fc- countant, were the same. Hadley disappeared at the time Nora Fuller's body was found and no trace of him has been discovered, although men in all parts of the world have been ar- rested on suspicion of being the missing murderer. ngn Himuelf, Farmer H BEATRICE, Neb, March 20.-(Special Telegram.)—W.
