MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
THIRTY PEOPLE DROWNED IN
RUSH OF WATERS.
Financial Loss is S19,OOO,OOO-H
dreds of Persons Still Menaced
by Tremendous Tide.

Thirty thousand persons homeless;
1000 square miles Of country inundat-
ed: 80 persons drowned, and a finan-
cial loss estimated at $10,000,0OO con-
stitute the result of a two-weeks flood
in the Mississippi valley. These figures
were arrived at last night by govern
ment engineers and officials Of State
levee boards engaged in battling with
the ravages of the Mississippi from
Points in Illinois to threatened places
in Mississippi and Arkansas.
Hundreds of persons still are men
aced by the tremendous tide of the
river at points in lower Mississippi,
northwest Tennessee and Arkansas.
They are marooned in house tops, in
trees and on anchored RATS directly
in the sweep of the river. Rescuing
squads at many points have been COM
PEELED to take negroes from dangerous
ground because they insisted upon re-
manning to guard property.
The most dangerous point in the
flood situation today was the levee at
Golden Lake, Ark, At 9 o'clock to-
night the Golden Lake levee held and
as it continued to battle the swirl OF
the food, danger in the southern part
of the valley increased. AS long as
the food remains in the leVees north
the strain on the southern embank-
ments increases.
Hourly the danger works southwark
In the upper reaches of the Ohio and
Mississippi tonight the river practical
ly is at standstill. The flood crest
now is exerted on the dykes from the
Missouri line southwark.
There has been suffering among
thousands of refugees gathered in the
highland towns of the floods reach
However, officials Of the State and
federal government are working tc
greatest menace now is directed to-
ward those persons narooned III the
inundated territory. Scores of boats
manned by rescue parties are hurry
ing to relieve the prisoners.
State and levee boards in the dis
tricts south. of Memphis have been la
boring all day to stop the threatened
levees. Mississippi State officials think
their entertainments will hold.

BODY OF MRS. GREEVER.
Washington Police Boat Finds Ke'
mains in Riyer-Little Doubt OF
Identity.

Washington, April 5.-The body o.
Mrs. n. Roberta Greever, wife Of Rev
w. H. Greever, of Columbia, was
found by the District OF Columbia po
ilice boat Vigilant floating in the wat
ers of the Potomac river, near Moun
Vernon, last night.
The point where the body was tounC
is off Fort Hunt, about 20 miles iron
this city. Capt. Jansen commands
the tug which runs between Indian
Head and Washington navy yard. As
he was coming up the river last even
ing about 6 o'clock, he saw human
body, face down, floating in the water
He reported to the police when ne
reached Washington.
He said that he was unable to say
whether the body was that Of a man
or woman.
The Vigilant, left Washington this
morning and went down the river as
far as Glymont, just above Indian
Head, in search of the body.
Inquiry made of the district au-
thorities tonight brought out this in
formation, also the fact that the body
was recovered this afternoon and
from the clothing in which the body
was clad, and ring on one OF the
fingers. there seems to be absolutely
no doubt that it is Mrs. Greever. Mrs.
Greevers husband is now en- route to
this city from Columbia. Until ne
reaches here it can not be positively
stated that the body is that Of his wife.
In the minds of the district authorl-
ties, however, there appears to be aD-
solutely no doubt that the mystery of
Mrs. Greever's disappearance has at
last been solved.
Early this evening the body was
taken TO the Virginia shore and the
nearest coroner was notified. He lives
about ten miles distant and it was
some time before he could be reached.
Until his arrival the body could not
be removed to the District of Colum-
bia by it's authorities.
Some time tonight the Vigilant will
bring the corpse here and it will be
taken to the morgue to await identifi-
cation by Mr.. Greever, who will ar
rive early tomorrow morning.
There seems to be no doubt what
clcr that he will quickly declare it
to le that Of Mrs. Greever.

PRISONERS TO FLOODS;
GOATS EFFECT RESCUES

Memphis, Tenn, April I'm the
wide stretches of the Mississippi's
flooded acres tonight there are three
striking pictures The northermost
is in the 500 square miles of the
Reelfoot lake country Of Tennessee
where 1000 or more persons have been
driven from their homes by the smash
ing of Mississippi levee in southwest
Kentucky. In this district thousands
of acres of fertile fields are unde.
water. Scores of persons who have
refused to desert their homes are now
imprisoned in upper floors and on
roofs Of f0od-menacej houses.
A few miles south in Arkansas three
counties are under water. From this
rich bottom" country, hundreds OF
farmers ana villagers have been driv-
en-. Flood waters swept over the fer
tile fields and thriving villages last
night with the breaking Of me levee
on the Arkansas side north Of 2Iem-
phis Today great numbers Of per-
sons n.arooaed On roofs of houses and
in trees nave been taken out of the
flooded district in boats. Probably
many more water-impTisCned are in
imminent peril. There are not boats
enough to perform the rescue work
required. Three counties-Critten-
den, Poinsett and Cross-are flooded.
The scene south Of these points i'm
presses one with the might of a giant
stream on rampage. Homes that
once marked the centre Of rich "bot-
tom" farms now float in a torrent
that can not be stayed Bits of wreck
age floating along in the tawny tide
reflect the extent of the damage in
the valley below.
From the standpoint of the northern
dweller, picture of Mississippi
valley fiod is best expressed in figures
of possible life loss and statistics tell
ing of the number of square miles in

owner a different picture presents it

negroes who risked their lives to save

negroes who risked their lives to save
their mules.
Attempts to cover" the story along
the stretch of levees from south Mis-
souri, and Illinois to Arkansas have
involved many personal risks by news
paper correspondents.
One of the most daring exploits was
successfully essayed by a young cor
respondent who foated on log on
the crest of the tide when the levee
broke at Hickman. He made his way
to Tiptonville, Tenn, then telephoned
the story of the flight from the Reel
foot country to Memphis.
Another news writer, pretty young
woman of Hickman, KY, half swan,
half waded in imminent peril to get
from her home to the long distance
telephone in order that the first def
mite story of the rescue of thousand
persons at Dorena, Mo-, might reach
the outside world.
Of the striking features of bravery
which stands out in the fight against
the flood, possibly the most conspicu-
Gus has been that of the couriers who
rode in advance of the tide to warn
villagers and farmers out of the path
of the raging stream.
The telephone has been brought
largely into play. Patrols stationed
at menaced points have watched for
crevasses night and day. The moment
that a break occurred the patrols hur-
ried to telephone stations and warned
the countryside
A farmer who watched for the
breach in the st. Francis levee yester'
day afternoon mounted his horse when
the tide broke through the embank'
ment. AS he started to ride away, his
wife grasped the bride of his horse.
where are you going?" she called
struggling with the horse.
'"To warn my neighbors,' replied the
planter. You must get to the boats
The planters wife managed to ge
her children away in safety while hel
husband raced with the flood, warning
farmers out of the tides path. The
warming probably saved scores o1
lives.
A peddIer who travels in the country
surrounding Memphis lived in small
| frame house. Water entered his dwell
ing. He moved to the attic. He made
his rounds in a boat that he moored tt
tree at night. The last night NJ
slept in his attic, he awoke to find thf
water around his bed.
The only implement available was
can opener. The peddler cut al
opening in the roof and, finding hlE
boat and stores safe, escaped. The
can opener probably saved his life.

ENDS LONG SEARCH
FOR MRS. GREETER

Washington, April 6.-Satisfed be-
yond doubt that the drowning OF Mrs.
\. Roberta Greever, wife Of Rev. w.
II. Greeyer, of Columbia, in the waters
OF the Potomac river Oh the night CT
February II last, was entirely acci-
dental and occurred while Mrs. Greev-
er was endeavoring to make her way
to Tazewell, Va, to see her three chill
dren, aged 6, 9, and 3 years, Corcner
hewitt today decided that no inquest
would be necessary in the case. The
body of Mrs. Greever was found foat-
ing in the Potomac about 20 miles be-
low Washington.
A. H. Kohn, of Columbia, accom-
panied Mr.. Greever to this city. They
reached here shortly before noon to-
day and went to police headquarters
where they conferred with Inspector
Boardm9n ard Des@ctiya
later going to the morgue. The arti-
cles of jewelry taken from the body
were turned over to the minister.
The Identification of the body ter
minated the long search which has
/ been made by the husband, brother,
brother-in-law,and host Of friends
of the popular Lutheran minister,
and cleared the mystery which so COM
pletely puzzled the police. Adolpha
T. Bruegel, brother of Mrs. Greever,
arrived here from Philadelphia early
last night and went to the morGue.
Miss Ryan, who was Mrs. Greever's
nurse at the time she disappeared, also
went there. They looked at the ring
and breastpin taken from the body
and were perfectly satisfied.
Before her marriage Mrs. Greever
was Miss n. Roberta Bruegel, daugh-
ter of the late Rev. c. A. Bruegel, a
Lutheran minister. She had resided in
New York and Pennsylvania. Ever
since Mrs. Greever disappeared, on a
bitter cold night in February, when
the muddy Potomac was two feet
thick in ice and entirely frozen over
except where a narrow channel was
kept open for passage Of steamers
plying between this city and Norfolk,
there has been the greatest amount
CT sympathy expressed for Mr.. Greev-
er. Not only his South Carolina
friends here, but people of all classes,
! church people, and all have done their
utmost to help him in his trouble.
There has never been any doubt in
the minds of those familiar with the
case that Mrs. Greever had been the
victim of some accident which time
alone would explain. This has appar-
entity been the case. The rough, tur-
bulent waters have given up their vic
tim and no one doubts that their belief
was correct.
Tonight Mr.. Greever said that he
had not so far completed arrange
ments for the funeral but that in all
probability the body CT Mrs. GreeTer
would be carried to Tazewell where
members Of the family reside. Moth
ing will be decided upon until the ar
rival of other members Of the family
late tonight.
