St. Look, Mo
Ohio River Appears to Have
Reached Crest Thsre.
CURRENT IS VERY RAPID
Indications Are That Breaks in the
Levees Further South Are Taking
Care of the Situation.
Cairo, 111., April 6.—The Cairo sit
uation is much improved.
While the river has been standing
at the dangerous high stage of 54.7,
there has been no advance of the wa
ters and the general belief now is that
Cairo will escape the inundation. This
feeling of security is due to the com
pleteness of the preparations taken to
prevent an incursion of the flood wa
ters and the tendency of the river to
recession.
The rapidity of the current is assur
ance that the breaks in the levees
south of Cairo are taking care of the
flood. In addition a large volume of
water is flowing into the Mississippi
river through Cache creek and over
the Mobile and Ohio railroad tracks.
There will be no relaxation of vigil
ance and preparedness to meet any
probable emergency until the river
recedes.
The Illinois Central railroad is
working a gang of men and four pile
drivers in repairing its right of way
in the drainage district.
Mail service, interrupted the past
two days, was restored by boat,
which makes regular trips to Mounds,
111., and Wyckliff, Ky., where it con
nects with the railroad. The steamer
City of Cairo, which returned from a
two days' relief trip down the river,
rescued 142 men, women and children
and much property.
WEST HICKMAN INUNDATED
Water Fourteen Feet Deep in Streets
of Kentucky Town.
Hickman, Ky., April 6.—Water com
ing through several breaches in the
city levee at West Hickman, which
went out, has inundated that suburb
to a depth of from four to fourteen
feet and has spread to the govern
ment or Reelfoot levee to the west of
Hickman. Those directing the fight
assert that no immediate danger ex
ists.
The property damage in West Hick*
man is estimated at $100,000. No loss
of life occurred, all of the 2,000 or
more residents having moved to the
hills on which the city of Hickman
proper is located.
FLOOD'S TOLL IS 460 LIVES
Red Cross Agent at Columbus Esti
mates Ohio's Loss.
Washington, April 6.—Ohio's loss
in the recent flood was estimated in
a telegram from the American Red
Cross agent in charge at Columbus
as follows:
460 lives lost.
4,200 homes destroyed.
40,500 persons homeless.
9,000 families outside of Dayton,
Columbus and Cincinnati in need of
rehabilitation.
It has been extremely difficult to
get information, according to the
agent, because wires are still down
and transportation facilities uncer
tain.
RELIEF AT SHAWNEET0WN
River at a Standstill and Provisiono
Arrive.
Shawneetown, 111., April 6.—The
people of Shawneetown are facing the
future with a more cheerful mien
than for more than a week. With
the Ohio river at a standstill, enough
provisions on hand for the present,
and more in sight, and the business
buildings, which it was feared would
be undermined by water, still stand
ing, the exiled residents of the river
town believe the worst is over.
A strong northwest wind again cut
up the flood waters into huge waves
and nearly all the few remaining
frame structures gave way.
COLUMBUS AGAIN FLOODED
Downpour of Rain Sends River Out
of Its Banks.
Columbus, O., April 5.—A downpour
of rain caused another flood stage in
the Scioto here, the river rising six
feet and resulting in a levee breaking
on the West Side. The waters were
again released over a portion of the
territory flooded last week, but fur
ther rise was expected.
One additional body was recovered,
increasing the list of bodies regis-'
tered to eighty-five.

Boma, Belgian Congo, April 6.—
Twenty-three persons were killed
when an entire train with its loco

TAMMANY LEADER IS SLAIN
New York Gangsters Charged With
Committing Deed.
New York, April 6.—Eugene Smith,
a Tammany political leader, was shot
and killed on Park Row by four gang
sters.
He was on his way from a ball of
one of the East Side Democratic or
ganizations at Tammany Hall. The
gangsters, who were seen by only one
witness, escaped.
A brother of the slain man said

one else, but the police were told that
Smith had recently become involved
in a gang feud and had moved to
Brooklyn because of threats against
his life.

Steamer at Havre.
on
Havre, April 5.—With all the mili
tary honors due a commander of the
Legion of Honor, as well as the pop
ular interest in the funeral of the
world's greatest financier, the body
of J. Pierpont Morgan arrived here
by train from Paris and was immedi
ately transferred to the steamship La
France, which will carry the remains
to New York.
The Paris express arrived at Havre
shortly after 6 o'clock and the special
car was switched alongside the French
line quay. At 7 o'clock the casket
was transferred to the liner and
placed in a specially constructed
mortuary. A company of the One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth regiment
was drawn up at the gang plank and
ten of the soldiers carried the casket
on board. The soldiers presented
arms and the funeral march was
played.
The funeral march was followed by
national anthems, including "The Star
Spangled Banner" and "Columbia."
Then the band swung into "La Mar
seillaise." The ceremony was a most
impressive one.
Notorious Criminal Ends Life.
Paris, April 7.—The anarchist, La
combe, called by the French police

WILSON ISSUES ULTIMATUM
One Cent Duty on 8ugar for Three
Years, the Commodity to Go on
Free List After That.
Washington, April 6.—The Demo
cratic tariff revision bill is completed
with the exception of a final decision
upon the sugar tariff. From beginning
to end it is a measure modeled in ac
cord with the ideas of President Wil
son, with wool, meat and many other
foodstuffs and clothing materials on
the free list with low duties upon all
agricultural products and foodstuffs
that are not free nnd with the tariff
on chemical, steel and other commer
cial products cut far below the pres
ent protective rates.
Briefly summarized the tariff de
velopments were:
President Wilson's ultimatum to su
gar interests that they must agree to
a tariff of 1 cent per pound for three
years, with free sugar after that time,
or he would attempt to procure free
sugar at once.
The bill was completed by the ways
and means committee, with the excep
tion of the sugar schedule. On this
the committee is prepared to agree on
free sugar if the president insists.
Income Tax Rates.
Income tax rates are fixed at 1 per
cent for all corporation incomes above
$5,000 1 per cent on personal in
comes from $4,000 to $20,000 -2 per
cent from $20,000 to $50,000 3 per
cent from $50,000 to $100,000 4 per
cent above $100,000.
The president submitted his pro
posal on the sugar tariff to Represen
tative Broussard of Louisiana. Lou
isiana senators and representatives
conferred and sounded out other mem
bers of the senate to determine
whether enough strength' could be
procured to fight the free sugar fea
tures of the plan. They reached no
decision, however, as to the course
they would take.
The situation, as it has developed
this week, is apparently a consumma
tion of the plan laid out by the presi
dent and the house and senate lead
ers, to bring the executive department
and both branches of congress into an
agreement upon tariff revision before
the new bill leaves the custody of the
committee that has drawn it. Lead
ing senators predicted that there
would be no important matters unset
tled when the bill is introduced in
the house.
STREW OCEAN WITH FLOWERS
Widows of Titanic Victims to Visit
Scene of Disaster.
New York, April 6.—Flowers will be
tossed upon waters where the Titanic
went down by three women widowed
by the disaster. This tribute will be
paid at 2:15-o'clock on the morning
of April 15—the anniversary of the
foundering of" the ship—by Mrs. Jac
ques Futrelle, Mrs. Henry H. Harris
and Mrs. George Thome. The three
women have booked to sail for Europe
from Boston April 13.
When the ship passes the approxi
mate position where the liner dived
head first to the bottom they will
sing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," the
Titanic dirge, as their flowers fall up
on the waves.
Several other women survivors may
join the pilgrimage, it is said.
