These changes would add materially

FLOOD CONDITIONS

Western Press.
HICKMAN, KY, April 6.-The Mis-
sissippi river flood burst through the
government levee, five miles west of
Hickman, late yesterday afternoon
and today the gap had grown from
sixty feet to 900 yards. A mighty
wall of water is sweeping all before
it in its mad rush through Fulton
county in Kentucky and Lake county,
Tennessee. Reelfoot lake, into which
the floor is pouring, is going over
its banks into Obion county and in
turn the Obion river is taking up the
overflow and carrying it back to the
Mississippi.
A rescuing party of twenty men
with twelve boats departed today on
a relief train to take off persons said
to be marooned on housetops, moored
reefs and tree tops. in the Reelfoot
section. The water covers a county
ten miles wide and fifty miles long.
This greatly will be increased, 1t is
believed, within the next twenty-four
hours.
Several pitiable experiences have
been reported. One woman was found
seriously i'll in the second story of
her home. The water was gradually
nearing the window Of her apartment,
but her condition is such she will not
be removed except as a last resort.
Two deaths occurred this morning.
TIPTONvILLE, Tenn, April g.
When the levee near Hickman, KY,
broke yesterday afternoon, letting the
flood waters Of the Mississippi into
the Reelfoot lake country, warn
ing was flashed over the telephone.
Farmers and villagers were ready to
flee for the highlands as soon as the
warning reached them. Because Of
the break in the levee at Hickman, the
Mississippi here is not rising this
morning. The flood waters are run
ming through the lake country. 1t is
now feared that there may be q break
in the Mississippi levee on the state
line.
CAIRO, H., April 6.-The river now
is ten feet above the general level of
the city. After the levees were made
the city was filled up to the 44-foot
stage Of the river and most Of the
houses are on foundations and II the
water should break through the levees
and spread over the city it would
not reach the second floors Of the
greater part of the homes. Mayor
George Parsons issued the following
statement today: We have the levee
situation well in hand and there is
no reason to doubt that it will be 50
continued to the end Of the present
flood.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 6.-"The
situation is desperate, though we still
are hopeful" says o. N. Klough, pres
ident of the st. Francis levee board.
Extremely serious, but, II the wealth
er continues favorable, we may be
able to prevent crevasses," says Maj.
Clare Smith of the U. s. A. corps Of
engineers This is the Mississippi
river flood situation as reviewed by
the men directing the struggle from
the Missouri state line to the mouth
Of the White river in Arknnsas and
all that stretch Of levee which IL bear

ARRES TED
PLEADS NOT GUILTY-WAIyES
PRELIMINARY EXAMINA.
TION-GOES TO JAIL

Yesterday the United States deputy
marshal arrested " A. Lorimer, a
mail clerk running into Durango, on a
warrant sworn out by Postoffice In
spector Cochran. He was taken be-
fore United States Commissioner A.
M. Camp. His plea was not guilty.
but he waived preliminary hear
ing and in default of bond was COM
mitted to the Denver Jail. His case
will probably come up before Judge
Lewis in the United States court. The
charge preferred was that back in
October, 1910, while Lorimer was a
mail clerk between Alamosa and Sa-
Ida, that between the town of Mof-
fatt and Salida he conducted more
or less regularly business of carry
ing packages outside of the United
States service. This is not a very
grave offense but the government law
provides for such an offense $50
fine and thirty days in Jail, besides
the dismissal from the service. We
hope that the facts as proven will
show Mr.. Lorimer innocent of the of
fense charged and that he will not
lose his position In the service.
