KNOXVILLE, May 23--The Knoxville
sequel to the terrific food in upper East
Tennessee and southwest Virginia is
being realized today. This morning at
10 o'clock the Tennessee river here had
reached 83 feet. the highest known
since 1875, when it was 80 feet above
low water. However. no great damage
is being done here, as river men had
been prepared for the high water. hav.
ing anticipated it for SO hou~s.
The greatest damage will be the flood
ing of some industries and lands along
the river front and stopping river traffic
more or less. Much debris is floating
down the river and considerable is
being caught here.
Thirteen Dead.
Conservative estimates from upper
East Tennessee place the dead actually
found at ID. Speculation, however, ex-
lists as to the number that may be found
dead after the water recedes.
Three bridges are reported swept
away, in addition to the 10 reported
yesterday. They were two road Steel
viaducts in Washington county, over
the Nolachucky river; Sullivan county
steel bridge at Devault's ford; Ohio
River and Charleston railroad bridge
near Devault's ford.
The loss at Elizabethton due to the
flood is conservatively estimated at
about $3.50, 900. The damage to the town
of Watauga is estimated at about $780,
600.
The Holston river near Rogersville is

Three Parties to Controversy.

The controversy regarding revision
has the formation of three groups among
the $40 commissioners to the general
assembly. First there is the conserva-
tive group opposed to any change in the
doctrinal standards of the church. Then
there is party desirous of setting aside
the Confession of Faith as not truthfully
expressing the belief of the church. Be-
tween these stand the centrists, who
favor maintaining the old Confession,
with a few notifications. and who de-
sire the adoption of a clear ''declarative
statement setting forth the most i'm
portant doctrines and the laying of
special emphasis upon the love of God
for mankind and on the work of the
Holy Spirit -
The commissioners have had ample
time to study the committees report,
and when Moderator Minton called the
assembly to order today all were fully
prepared for thorough and intelligent
consideration of the subject.

the transfer of the leper colony to the
point selected.
At a meeting yesterday, the board
heard vigorous protests of the citizens
of the two parishes, but decided to take
no action at present.
The prote tants concluded that the

tempt the establishment of the lazaretto
in Jefferson.
