WORKERS AWAITING CRISIS. V People Flee, Fearing Breaks South of Memphis. ^ * The crisis in the Mississippi valley's tremendous flood is imminent, j Chief anxiety Monday night centres in j the situation south of Memphis. If the j dykes of Arkansas, Mississippi and i North Louisiana hold for another 36 hours, then the thousands of persons I r these embankments protect, and the i ' hundreds of workers who have labored to strengthen the levees for the su-: *" preme struggle against the yellow I j . tide's greatest stream will breathe a : ^ sigh of relief. rya.\-r honrc unll A lit; su ae v/i iuc w ..? j decide whether scenes of suffering and distress along the upper Mississippi "will be reenacted in the fertile valleys of the Delta and the Yazoo south of Memphis. State and government officias say the dykes on the eastern bank will withstand the tremendous that will be exerted bv the Jk/JL VOU u * V V?V.V flood's crest Nevertheless they are ^ apprehensive and fear of breaks along "* ^the western dykes. is shown by reports of the bandonment of homes and : villages in the lowlands, from Helena! southward. W ml ill! TH ? -nany i uniuujj jnescuvs. Stirring stori-cs of the rescue of the refugees in the floods wept territory of upper Arkansas have reached Memphis Monday. One thousand or more persons, marooned in Wyanoke, Ark., -were brought to Memphis late Monday. They were rescued through ^ the initiative of h Memphis citizens' commitiee, which i~ade the hazardous j ^ ' trip to Wyanoke to investigate stores of suffering rt-ceho;; from that point. 'The reports were ami.lv verified. . T ~ ^ troro fminrt SOnrp;: of ; 1X1 a inun.ii < v t ~. v.^ ? , the sufferers v.ho ha<i taken refuge j there when the food descended. As j the deluge increased the water climbing to the i rcmomary on which stood j +hp phnr^h rhA rpfsrees built scaffolding with pews and thus kepi their heads \ iabove the flood's surface. On . high ground and in the attics of houses near Wyanoke hundreds of more vie-: tims were found. All were brought to Memphis this afternoon. They will receive ample care. Refugees from the Modoc flood dis trict routh of Memphis, who were tak\en to Helena and Memphis today, say there has been some life lost in that ? * * rrvu_?_ n tno nn T/iri fi or? ^ SWJLlUli. 1 LLtJSCT 1 115 a?v L?ii ? . The mayor of Helena tonight sent to the Associated Press an emphatic; statement declaring there had been no fatality from the breaks south of this city. Deaths and Property Loss. Unofficial estimates of the damage vary widely. Many persons who know every .bend of the great river from I New Orleans to Cairo say the pecuniary loss will amount to ten millions. Other ? ~ r> Y-? f rlic* persons equitn^ cwvuoaui ?im situation modify this estimate. Probably the heaviest specific loss must be estimated in the destruction of homes, the loss of live stock and the damage to \ manufacturing plants in the upper! flood district. The number of fatalities has been small. Probably thirty, fatalities would meet the conservative k '* total. Sloan's Liniment is an cx- H ' celient remedy for chest and > t throat affections. It quickly relieves congestion and inflammation. A few drops I in water used as a gargle is antiseptic and healing. Here's Proof " I have used Sloan's Liniment for years and can testify to its wonderful efficiency. I have used it for sore throat, croup, lame back and rheumatism and in every case it gave instant relief." . REBECCA JANE ISAACS, ' Lucy, Kentucky. | wSLOAK'S I!

Sloan I There has, however, been tremendous suffering among the homeless. Oi | the thirty thousand or more persons 1 who have been drivem forth by the raging tide, hundreds have gone hungry and without water for many hours be fore SLccor reached them; hundreds have been imprisoned on house tops, in trees and anchored on rafts for long periods. Memphis proper tonight is rapidly assuming its normal condition. Break Enlarges Flooded Area. The yellow torrent of the Mississippi river, rushing southward Tuesday, tore another great gash in the dikes guarding the fertile acres of the valley. The crevasse occurred sixty miles north of Memphis in the embankment that held the stream off the central part of St. Francis levee territory in Arkansas. This new bearch that had seemed imminent for a week or more simply adds to lie great flood reach in Northeast Arkansas. Alreay part of the district had been inundated, because"of a break fifty miles below the Golden Lake crevasse. Apparently there will be no loss of life. Probably Great Suffering. In the fastnesses of the Northeast Arkansas country are settlements that the outside world rarely ever hears of. There is a possiblity that many such places in the inundated districts of Arkansas have been overrun by the tide. Doubtless there has been tre^ * TffO f AT?_ menaous sunermg among luusc wawiimprisoiied people. The situation in the river's reaches south of Memphis seems unchanged in the last 12 hours up to 10 o'clock Tuesday night The crucial point in the fight was at Greenville, north of Vicksburg. Here the flood water threatened to top the levee at any moment. The dike proved strong and government engineers' directing the fight say they will holfi their own against the oncoming crest. Many Flee From Danger. A great many persons have left the city of Greenville, which lies almost directly under the levee. In the outlying country farmers and villagers have taken to higher land and live stock has fbeen driven out of the danger zone. The possibility of loss of life is remote. If the break were to occur, however, a great territory in the world's richest cotton country would be flooded. The effect of the Golden Lake break will be to stay the crest of the flood in the lower river. It will give the thousands of laborers strengthening the dikes a chance to make their work more ?ecure. ANOTHER CLUE PROVES FALSE. Allen and Edwards Still at Large? Search Continues. Hillsville, Va., April 8?This day wqc thp 26th since the Allen gang shot up Carroll county court house, and Sidna Allen and "Wesley Edwards, two of the assassins, still are at large. Another day of raiding in the .Blue Ridge promised a clue, but it did not pan out. On one of the lonely roads the posse found a basket of food under a laurel hush, with a white handkerchief tied upon it. The posse watched the point all day, expecting the outlaws would come to get their rations, but the manoeuvre was a vain one. The posse also raided a log cabin near Sidna Allen's house, with ?
