MORE LEVEES .GIVE WAY Southern Bituation Offers Slight Encourage ment, Though Horthern Water Halt POSITION CRITICAL FROM MEMPHIS SOUTH Oaly Hope for Men aad Lasd Now Lies In Remaining Gmbankments Re- Dovrn Mississippi. WASHINGTON, March 20. The Weather bureau has issued the following special river bulletin: The river situation la practically un changed. The Mississippi Is stationary at Memphis and continues to rise below. At New Orleans this morning the stage was lti.t feet. 0.1 foot about the previous hluh water of 1M7. The conditions from Memphis southward continue extremely critical. Future devel opments depend almost wholly on the abil ity of the levees to hold the water. Dike Bllpplac Into River. GREENVILLE. Miss., March 20. The pro tection dike at Leland, Ark., is rapidly slipping Into the river, and It is now probable that the river will make a new channel, leaving Greenville in the laterlor. The situation Is most grave. The river from Lunar, Ark., to Green ville, via Leland, makes a bend of eighteen miles, and the current la very rapid, wash ing against the main line of tha levee. To protect this a dike was built, and it Is this work that is going out. Captain F. D. Bollinger finds that C80 feet of the dike had been swept away, leaving but 250 feet intact. But one thing could save the levee, and the construction of a "V"-shaped dike extending fifty feet from the levee has been commenced, but the work Is necessarily slow. The trouble here is that the river is four feet above the 1897 mark and rising at the rate of half a foot a day. Heavy rain tell here last night, which will retard tho 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 Maxtmara. NEW ORLEANS, La., March 20. The river marked 19.6 today, the maximum at tained during the record. Beyond the break at Bougere all tha Louisiana levees have thus far held. MEMPHIS. Tenn.. March 20.-Yesterday's feeling of hope waa dispelled today by two additional breaks In the St. Fran cis levees north of the first crevasse at Trice s Landing, Ark. Today the levees gave way at Random Shot and Shawnee village. Ark. Both crevasses are reported to be serious. The situation therefore In Arkansas Is more grave than at any time during the flood. A long line of levees that guard the river front of Mississippi and protect the vast and fertile delta reglqn of that state are reported to be in a critical condition at many points snd news of disasters will not be surprising. At points the' water la sweeping through the embankments, flooding villages and plantations, snd at other places the embankment Is over, topped , by the flood and enormous quan tities of water are being dlacbarged over the country. VICKSBl'RO. Miss.. March 20 A more rapid rise in the river is noted, the gauge bere registering 60.1 tonight, a rise of 01 in twenty-four hours. Reports from Duvalls state that from the end of the river levee to Choteau. a dis tance of four miles, tha old protection levee is In bad shape and the water Is washing over, i Backwater from Steeles Bayou has attacked tbs levee from the rear. This. It Is feared, will have the ef fect of weakening the base. The private levee at Davis Island south of here was dynamited tonight In seve.al places. This was done with the object of eaalng the water through and prevent ing the great damage that would result from a sudden rush. A CLEAXLY AGE.

' His weight is about 185 pounds; he wears a stubby, black moustache. To tho sheriff he said ho was formerly a lawyer, but baa been doing nothing since tho murder. SAN FRANCISCO, March 20. The police cf this city apparently do not place much confidence in the story of the man under arrest at Fremont, Neb., and who says he Is John Bennett, the murderer of Nora Fuller. It Is suspected that the man la 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 was nude when found and ha4 boen dead several days. A man giving the name of John Bennett bad rented the house, and Nora Fuller had answered an advertisement inserted In a morning newspaper by John Bennett. The police after Investigation declared thnt Bennett and Charles B. Hartley, an f c 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.
