Friends of Cnineh Theodore Roosevelt In Illi nois are ihoivInK some alarm today lest triay he.' cut out of the victory they won In -thin slate In the primaries on Tues day of last week. They are clothlng thmelve in habiliments of war In ar.ttr.ipatlnn of another conflict at the, '"rucresjrlonsl district conventions to day and the state cunvention at Sprlnirtiel'l on Friday. Vhlle Colonel Koosevelt won an In dorsement 'from Hejiubllcans at the primaries, tiie supporters of President Taft elected a majority of the precinct committeemen who select delegates to the Congressional conventions. The defecates elected by these conventions probably mill support Roosevelt, but It '1 mid they will be Tatt men at heart 'and tiat is what Is worrying tha Koohcvclt ' Kepnhllrans.

"It is not a nica tliina to use evil Instruments in order to do dirty work." said Colonel Roose velt in an attack upon supporters of the Taft Administration. "It Is an even less nice thin to throw the evil Instruments aside when they are broken and loudly n.ake believe that they were Rot lnl';;tiorai!.v used. "There is not one state out of ten In whi.-h Mr. Taft would have any chance IT the vote were left to the people themselves." be asserted. "To profit hv wronKdolnK." he added, "is mlRhty little lietter than actually to do wronar. and the Administration is seeking to profit by this wrondoinjr." Colonel Roosevelt's speech tlas de ll ered in the Auditorium here at the end of yesterday's campaign in Ne braska. It was a raw. forblddlna day. with a, sprinkle ef snow ..i the morn Ins;, but there Vera crowds of rood sixes wherever Colonel Roosevelt spoke. In his address last nlpht ' Colonel TSoosevelt said In part: 'The managers of Mr. Taft' cam pairn. wltti the helpless acquiescence of Mr. Taft are relying solely and must rely solely upon the support of the bosses who stand for what is worse In our political life, and some of whom stand for that alliance of corrupt pol itics and corrupt business which Is re sponsible for nine-tenths of our po litical corruption." Colonel Roosevelt said that Senator Lorlmer and Senator Penrose recognise In Mr. Taft "the kind of a progressive whom they are willing to clasp to thtlr hearts." "Remember that the bosses were against mo In lrt and 1912. and In li4 they were against ma until all op position to me collapsed so that It no longer made the slightest difference whether they were against me or not." Colonel Roosevelt said the Taft dele gates In Southern States represented "nothing whatever but th. Federal of ficeholders, and they have not even the shadow of a party behind them. "Yet It la upon these states." he con tinued, "and upon the absolute swindling In states like Michigan. Col orado and Kentucky and In the City of New Tork that Mr. Taft's whole strength rests. Outside of the delegates that represent either the unscrupulous tise of patronage or else sheer fraud. Mr. Tarts strength would be trivial and indeed negligible In the present contest. "There is one, feature of tha attitude of the Administration toward the bosses which Is grimly comic. When a boss delivers a state to the Taft side, then no matter how outrageoua his conduct, no matter how cross the fraud and the violence by which he has suc ceeded, the Administration baa not a word of condemnation to otter. But when the boss fails, the spokesman of the Administration makes nervous baste to repudiate the very man against whom they have not one word to say so long as they hoped be would be suc cessful." Colonel Roosevelt then took up Pres ident Taft's recent statement that In advocating his proposals In regard to the court, he was "laying an Impious hand on the ark of the covenant." "Frankly such a statement hardly la worth while treating seriously." he said. 'I hold that this pretended alarm about the Independence of the judiciary Is Itself the veriest sham."

L -assi'- 1 FLOODS ARE WORSE Two More Breaks Add to Levee Horrors. DRINKING WATER SCARCE Provisions in Georgia Town Are All not Exhausted, and Reseue Par tie Are Being Formed to Render Aid. VICKSBURO. April IS. Two more levee breaks last night added to the horror of the lower Mississippi Valley flood situation which already has made several thousand persons homeless and devastated a large area of rich farm ing lands. The worst break was in the Missis sippi River dike four miles below Beu lab. Miss, and about 40 miles north of Greenville. A long stretch of this le vee has given the flood fighters much anxiety, it being feared for a time that the Greenville levee itself would go out. Breaks north and south of Green ville have relieved tha situation and fear has been allayed. The other break Is comparatively un important. It ia in the Arkansaa River levee 15 miles north of Arkansas City, Ark. Knglneers figure it will not en danger much more property. Water from the Panther forest crev asse began to flood Lake Providence, La., today. This will soon Join the sea of water rushing through the Dog Tail break which has already flooded a large section of Northern Louisiana and eventually will inundate a large per rent of the territory 17& miles In length and from 10 to 0 miles In breadth. The situation at Tallulah. Ua, la growing mora severe. That little town will receive tha combined force of tha two floods. Drinking water is running low and provisions are all but exhausted. Res cue partlea are being organised at Vicksburg to go to Tallulah, to take out all those who wish to leave. - Fifty thousand rations and a carload of tents, cots and blankets were Jn Vicksburg yesterday. They will be dis tributed today to the needy in flooded areas. Delegations representing state and municipal governments. levee and drainage boards and commercial, civic and industrial organizations of tha en tire Mississippi Valley will meet in Washington next Monday to appeal to Congress for the Immediate appropria tion of sufficient funds to repair levees broken by tha flood and to raise the dikes to auch a height as to protect the valley from overflow In tha future. Milady's Toilet Table By Mrne. D'MIIIe. Of all home treatments for the hair, the therox dry shampoo seems to be the most satisfactory by far. There is something sbout it totally ' different from any other treatment, and the hair responds so quickly. Put four ounces of powdered orris root (or a cupful of cornmeal) In a fruit Jar and add the contents of a small original package of therox. shaking well together. Sprinkle a little on the head and brush thoroughly. It makes the hair wavy, glossy and lustrous. To have a fair and lovely skin, to retain the attraction of youth, to keep the complexion clear- and beautiful the face, neck and forearms should be massaged every morning with a solu tion made by dissolving a small original package of mayatone Jn a half pint witch hazel. Use this ii stead of powder. It does not rub off nVr show. Mayatone reduces large pores, eradi cates dark and muddy spots, and leaves the skin smooth, soft and satinllke. Sometimes a sore may be slow in healing. In cases like this Mother's Salve Is good to use. for it is antisep tic as well as ry-aling and tends to pre vent blood poisoning. It quickly heals cuts, hums, scalds, etc., and will also cure chaps, cold sores, pimples and skin eruptions when not caused by con stitutional trouble. No woman need be humiliated by wild hairs or fuzzy growths. They will vanish quickly if delatone paste Is ap plied. Mix enough powdered, delatone with water to cover the hairy surface; apply, and after two or three minutes rub off. wash the skin, and the hairs will he gone. Adv. BODIES MAY NEVER RISE PHYSICS EXPERT. SAYS DEPTH PREVEXTS RECOVERY. Pressure of 6000 Pounds to Square Inch Too Great to Permit Formation of Gases. BALTIMORE, April 18. "The bodies of the victims of the Titanic are at the bottom of the deep never to leave it." declared Professor Wood, of the chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins University. "It is altogether improvable that any corpses will ever return to the surface, as in the case of bodies drowned in' shallow water. "At the depth of two miles the pres sure of the. water is something like SOOO pounds to the square Inch which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drowned bodies by the gases generated in them. "That the bodies sank to the bottom of the sea there is no question. The Titanic's victims who were not car ried down with the boat, followed un til the very bottom of the sea was reached. There was no such thing; as their' stopping -in their downward course a half mile, a mile or at any other point. ; "Great changes necessarily have been wrought In the vessel Itself by the enormous pressure to which it has been subjected. Wherever there was an air tight or water-tight compartment the SOOO pounds to the square Inch pres sure of water has crumpled these walls as If they were tissue paper."

Logs of T IltanlC to a-uuni:. CHICAGO. Aprllr8. (Special. t-. th. ahnniders of the traveling; public, which is constantly demanding; more rapid means ot transit, snuuiu u placed the blame for the Titanic dis aster, says Captain . Charles Campbell, for 14 years master of an Atlan tic liner. In his office in the Federal buildlnff. Captain Campbell, who Is in Chicago in the interest of the Michigan-Erie Canal, talked today of th. sinking: of the Titanic. "Modern business . has reached the point where men seek to be in two places at the same time," said Captain Campbell. "Since this Is impossible, they seek to obtain rapid transporta- tion. Shipowners are forced into com petition to see who can have built the latest vessel. ' T obtain Bpeed it' Is nec essary to have as little resistance to the air as possible. A deck covered with lifeboats offers much resistance, hence as few boats are carried as may be done with any degree of safety. "Captain Smith, who was master of the ill-fated Titanic, was my friend. At -the old 'Tough Club', in New York shipmasters were accustomed to gather and. talk.. Captain Smith was in every way a capable seaman,-. and not .one Jot of blame, I am sure, will attach to him. With the perfeetlna; of the' steel vessel and with a wireless system of telegraphy, the ocean liner 1b proof against storm and fog-, but all must fall before a mass of floating ice. "Another thing which adds horror to these disasters Is found in the fact that the 'able seaman is fast, passing away. It is safe to say that the only men on board the Titanic who were really navigators capable of handling a boat in time of wreck were-the ship's officers. Hundreds of so-called sailors who are employed today on big liners are laborers,, capable only of holy stoning a. deck. or performing similar labor. .'.These men fn time of wreck lose their heads and are useless . in saving the lives of passengers."
