r ASSOCIATED DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVII Thousands of Men are Seeking to Hold Back Water Os Mississippi From Southern Illinois to New Orleans Flood Men ace Grows in Proportion. —Levees Strengthened. WORKERS STRIVE TO HOLD LEVEES Every Available Man Is En |p gaged in This Work as i River Continues to Rise Following Heavy Runs. Memphis, April 10.—</P)—Thous niuls of men recruited from every available source today were massed in the greatest ‘battle man has ever made with the Mississippi rfver. From southern Illinois to New Orleans the flood menace grew in more gigantic proportions. Continued rains throughout the valley aml in the head lands of the Mississippi tributaries promised no surcease from the gradual ly mounting tide. Columbus, Kentucky, where the levee in front of the town gave way during the week registered rapidly rising waters in its streets. Only a few citizens remained in their homes, nml those in upper floors. The re mainder of the population foved out to the hills back of the town when the breach threatened. At Hickman. Ky., the flood was considered by engineers more danger ous than at any other one point. The contour of the river at Hickman throws the weight of the headland wntres flush upon the government dykes which turn them westward for a distance, thence toward the Gulf of Mexico. On the Missouri side of the river, fCnpe Girardeau and other towns were alarmed, but there were no reports that danger was in immediate pros pect. The Mississippi, formerly only about 1 1-2 miles wide at widest point, has spread out in many places to 10, 12, and 13 miles in some places where there are no bulwarks to hold the water. Memphis tmilded on a high bluff overlooking the majestic stream, is never in imminent danger from over flows, but,water has backed into-mb urban streets after heavy rainfall of 24 hours ( duration. ■South of Memphis, however, armed guards walked the levee around the clock to prevent a recurrence of at tempts to dynamite bulwards. The situation gradually was becom ing worse south of Vicksburg, Notches and 011 toward New Orleans. In Arkansas three lives had been loaf. The Ark an mis and St. Francis rivers, tributaries of the Mississippi were swollen, nnd levees bad given Why in some places. One Break In Levee. ' Cape Girardeau, Mo., April IG.—C4*) —The Mississippi River levee 25 miles south of Charleston, Mo., in Mississippi county, broke today and water was inundating thousands of acres in the lowlands in that viciu-j ity. kA heavy wind lapping over the top of the newly constructed embankment washed out a breach in the levee, and in a few minutes a gap 100 yards in length had been opened. Four hundred men that had been working to hold this stretch were called to safety, and no effort will be made to repair the break, engineers said. Murder Trial to Jury During After noon. Sanford, April 16. —( A *)—The jury in the Turner murder trial retired for lunch today with only two more at torneys’ speeches and Judge Sinclair's charge between it and final receipt of the issues in the case which has been in progress for two weeks.

I _ , The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, April 18.—Industrial de i vclopmcnts of the futures in North 1 Carolina will have complete duty re garding the quality of water needed : for their manufacturing processes un der plans of the department of con servation aAd development. Arrangements for making analysis of the industrial waters of the state have been completed in a conference, between 'Wade H. Phillips, director; j Dr. E. E. Randolph, head of the I chemistry department of State College, j Raleigh, and Charles K. Hay Jr., as-.! sistant engineer of the department, of! Chattel Hill. Wdrk tinder the co-operative ar rangement will begin immediately, and it is. contemplated that a complete survey of the industrial waters of North Carolina will-be available for publication in September. The pro gram will be a consolidation of the work of Dr. Randolph, the wnter re sources division of the. department nnd of the United States geological sur vey. About 75 analyses of some of the more important industrial waters have already been made and around one hundred more will be made, covering the most important waters available for industrial use. “Water supply.” said Mr. Phillips, “is an important requirement in every manufacturing process with a wide variation in the needs as to quality and quantity. The question is al ways considered in the location of a new plant and we hope to be able to guide them in determining the suita bility of locations and to encourage the growth of industry by showijig that North Carolina has the quantity and quality to supply practically any demand. “Among those industries that re quire a high quality of water are chemicals, cotton manufacturers, drug gists' preparations, dyeing and finish ing textiles, knit goods, paper and wood pulp, silk, wool and rayon. We believe that by providing the data sfyoVring what we have in the line of anally and quantity that inductrjg] Development of our state will be ma terially aided.” The analyses of the industrial water specihtens will be made during times of high water, normal flow, and low wnter for the purposes of getting the conditions of the supply under the "various situations which must be faced by manufacturing establish ments. Streams gaging, which has been carried on for some time by the de partment in cooperation with the fed eral agency, is for the purpose of ■ giving data on the quantity of flow of the streams of the state. These records extend over periods of vary ing lengths and are available upon j application, Lund Wiped Out By Flood Waters. Fortune is Lost. Van Buren, Ark., April 15.—Mrs. iLucy Kindncks of Van Buren this week bid farewell to the last frag ment of a piece of land which was, in itself, a small fortune. In 1023 Mrs. Kindricks was half owner of 104 acres of the richest river bottom land in Crawford Coun ty. She was offered nnd refused a purchase price of $23,400. Ths. we year, during an overflow, the Ar kansas River cut into the land and took off a considerable slice. Every year since, part of the land has been sacrificed to the ever en croaching river. Only ten acres re mained, then the flood this week wiped out the remainder of the 104 acre tract. Bible and Flag Presented To Bethel High School. Special exercises were held at the Bqtbel High School last Thursday evening, at which a Bible and Flag were presented to the school, as a gift from the Junior Order at Concord. Rev. M. R.

NOT IDENTIFY DEAD BODIES AH Were Burned Beyond Recognition in Blaze.— Three of Burned Build-1 1 ings Were Occupied. j Chicago. April 16.—C4“)—Eight per | hops were killed and their bodies ] burned beyond recognition and four ! buildings were razed, the result of an explosion here followed by fire. Tile dead, members of two families, are: Barnett Levin, 40 years old, his wife. Rose, 40, their two sons. Albert 20. and 1 .canard, 13; Harry Sokolsky, 40; bis wife Sarah, 40. a son Samuel, 14, and a daughter, Anna, 15. The police, tbe coroner's office, and the fire department said the explosion apparently was due to the ignition of a gas pocket in the tailor shop operated by Levin. The Levius had , living quarters above the shop, as did the Sokolskys above their dry goods store adjoining. Besides the tailor shop, grocery and dry goods store, a building believed to have been vacant, was destroyed. Several relatives of the two families called at the morgue during the morn ing hours, but none could identify any of tbe remains. Police finally decid ed it was futile to make further at tempts at identification, due to the charred condition of the bodies. . . , —■ | FAMILIES OF STATE OFFICIALS BARRED Heads of Departments and Bureaus Must Employ Outsiders Only.

North Carolina Now World’s Greatest! Tobacco Champion Tribune Bureau! 1 Sir Walter Hotel.* Raleigh. April 16. —North Caroffia is the world'H greatest tobacco champ ion, leading in both raw and manu factured production, as well as in. (Tie value of its farmers’ finished tobaccos. This state also comes the closest Jto i accurately forecasting its prospective crops of tobacco. It specializes in we j flue-cured, bright-leaf cigarette tobac co that brings the highest prices. . { These facts are adduced from tbe complete tobacco crop report for NoAh Carolina, released today by the IJ.ii. State Drop reporting service, of the State Department of Agriculture, Is sued just at the close of the auction selling warehouses, and which sum marizes the entire story of tobacco production, sales and maunfacture In the state. During the past season there were 145 warehouses opera thyt, at 44 markets.

HEW ORLEANS GETS HEAVIEST RAIN 111 56 YEARS Hi NIGHT Business Came to Stand still and Many Streets, Ordinarily Above Water,; Were Inundated. 14.01 INCHESOF RAIN IS RECORDED Families Were Marooned j in Homes in Many In-1 stances and Practically* All of City Suffered. New Orleans, April 16.—0 P Inches of rain fell in New Orleans Inst night, the weather bureau report ed today. The rainfall broke all records for the post 56 years, tbe highest previ ous record being 9.22 inehes. Hun dreds of blocks of the residential sec tions were flooded, and'thousands of persons were unable to get down town to business. Business, largely suspended for the Easter holidays, came to a virtual standstill and many of the thorough fares which qrc high nnd dry under normal rains were under from four inches to three feet of wnter, with only boats or high wheelefC wagons ab’.e to penetrate them. Families were marooned in their homes, with the exception of those lucky enough to have a skiff in their back yards, or such as desired an early morning swim in their front yards. Virtually every section of the city except certain high sections in French Quarter, and certain peaks in the bus iness nnd uptown sections of the city were under water at some time dur ing the night. As the pumping system gradually gained control of the situation the bus iness section was freed of wnter. but hundreds of blocks in the uptown resi dential section, remained under water at 10 o'clock today. In portions of the city the water had ebbed into houses to a depth of six inches. Announcement by Fenner & Beane. Fenner & Beane, members of the New YoAt stock and cotton exchanges «Uil. of the. Chicago— >end Out the following announcement: ~' We have the pleasure to announce that Ben. Talbot, former financing editor of the New York Evening Mail and New York Telegram and recently with the firm of Jackson Boesel & Co., has become associated with this firm in a stock market advisory ca pacity. Prior to his connection with New York Evening Mail, Mr. Talbot was. before the war, financial writer for the International News and the New York American. Later he was Lon don correspondent of the New York Sun and the New York Herald and upon his return from abroad, was an editorial writer on economic and finan cial subjects for the New York Herald before it was merged with the New York Tribune. Mr. Talbot will make his headquarters at our New York office in the Cotton Exchange build ing. 60 Beaver Street, and will write our daily stock market advices. He will be glad to auswer all inquiries. Mr. Talbot today sent out the fol lowing letter to the customers )<f Fenner & Beane: When the steel stockholders meet Monday nnd ratify the 40 per cent, dividend in common shares, it will remove one subject of bullish discus sion but will open up another, be cause the meeting on the cash divi dend is not scheduled until April 26th. In the interim between these two meetings I look for a campaign in Steel common that will carry it upto the prices so often predicted in the last few months, which means from 175 to 180 where the yield will be about 5 1-2 per cent, with a dividend of $7 on the new stock and I have no doubt that this rate will be in augurated at the month-end meeting. It is not reasonable to suppose that the expected advance in Steel can take place without having at least a mildly stimulating influence on the rest of the list. I would not take too much for granted and when profits present themselves I would not ignore them. There are supposed to be con structive moves on the way in In dustrial Alcohol, International Nickel, Central "'Alloy Steel, Gold Dust and Bethlehem Steel. These among oth ers, I think, can be played for quick turns only. BEN TALBOT. Fighting in Canton. Hong Kong.
