fact that the crest of the flood has

1t is impossible TO calculate the guam

places flush with the tops of the levees.
More water is now going into the la

last night, one victim sustaining a brok-
en- rib. and now i'm peril of pneumonia,
while the other escaped with frozen ears.
J. T. Watson, of 1927 L Street north

willing to wait for a sheet OF ice about
which there could be no question. but
decided to take chances. He. therefore.
went to the Tidal Basin. in the Monu-
nent Grounds, and started in TO have a
good time. He was just cutting some
fancy figures, when the ice gave way,
preoipitating him into the water
Fortunately at this point the water
was but three feet deep. and Watson
was not drowned. but he was thorough

ice in getting out. BE was taken home.
and thought he had escaped serious con-
sequences. This morning. however. a
high fever had set in. and It is doubt
ful II he can escape pneumonia. When
the doctor came TO examine him. he also
found that a rib was broken.
William Bailey. forty years old, living
at zoe Twelfth Street northeast, was
the other victim. He tried 10 cross the
Benning Bridge over the Eastern
Branch shortly after midnight. and in
stead walked into the river. No one
was near, but he finally managed to
scramble TO the bank, where he sank
down from exhaustion When discov-
