REPETITION OF LAST FEBRUARY iNuNDATloN IS PREDICT
 ED AT MEMPHIS.
RIVER IS STILL RISING FAST
Levees Are Reported Breaking Near Hickman and at Columbus, Ky. Thousands of Refugees Flee
 ing From the LowIands.

Memphis, April 1.--S. c. Emery, To- cal forecaster of the weather bureau, issued a bulletin tonight predicting that the Mississippi river at Memphis would reach a stage of 45 feet, pos sibly 46. The high water mark of last year, when several levees col lapsed along the central stretches Of the river, was 45.3 feet.
 Previously MT. Emery had estimat ed that the high stage here would be 44.5.
 Tonight's estimate was made after dispatches had been received report ing the river rising rapidly at Cairo, a fall of 2 of a foot at St. Louis, less than had been expected, and tell ing of great volume of water com ing out of the Wabash river
 At Memphis the stage at o'clock tonight was 373 feet, 8 rise of 5 since 2 am. Cairo reached stage of 53.8, a rise of tenths in twelve hours, and vicksburg, Miss, 40.4 feet, a rise of two tenths.
 Officials of the St. Francis levee board and of the United States en- gineers office here asserted tonight that at no point south of Cairo Is the situation as yet alarming. Private dispatches. however, from Bird Point, Charlottesville and Belmont, Mo. and Hickman. Ky, were less as- suring. At Hickman especially, con ditions are reported fast becoming serious.
 Other than the flooding of4 the town the break in the private levee at Columbus. Ky, last night is ex- peeled to cause but little damage, a series of small hills and ridges pro testing the surrounding country. Less than half of the county will be inun- dated. So far as can be ascertained all of the residents of Columbus reached places of safety before the embankment collapsed.

Indiana Is Slowly Recovering From Effects of FIood-The Known Death List at Dayton Now
 Stands at 12s.

Dayton, Ohio, April 1-"Dayton is that any city of the world ever faced and we want tine world to know we need money and food for our stricken people," said John II. Patterson, pres ident of the relief committee, tonight after he returned in company with H. E. Talbott, chief engineer, from 8 tour of the sections of Dayton swept by the flood last week.
 In speaking of tentative plan to ask the federal government for loan of from $20.000 GOO to S40,000,000 to be used in reconstruction work, MT, Patterson said:
 At meeting of bankers and of ficia1s of the building associations this evening, 1t was decided to make an appeal for federal aid. The banks and building associations have S60,- 000,000 worth of assets which they will put up as collateral. It may be deemed advisable to ask the govern ment to give us some financial as- sistance. We feel that the disaster is an emergency which would justify extraordinary action on the part of congress"
 Since Sunday more than sl50,000 in cash has been received from banks in Cincinnati to replace damaged money in local banks, which will re- main closed until April s.
 In response to a telegram from Governor Cox, Mir. Patterson will go to Columbus tomorrow to eonfeE h Miss Mabel Boardman. Of the Red Cross, and the governor MT.

 Although several carloads of pro- visions were received today, officials in charge of relief work stated that the food situation was matter of grave concern. More refugees have applied for assistance. We must have rations for more than 100000 people for an indefinite period" MT. Patterson declared
 Four bodies were taken from the debris by workmen today, bringing the total number Of bodies recovered up to 12s. according to the coroner's estimate.

Columbus, Ohio, April 1.--AlI that human effort could accomplish to- day failed to penetrate the part of the debris piled in the west side. where 1t is believed many of the bod ies Of persons missing since the flood of March 25 finally will be recovered. As matters stood tonight, however. eight more bodies had passed through the morgues. running the total dead in that section up to Il.
 In addition 70 this number was the body of James NJ Kearney, mer- chant, who was drowned several months ago and which cast up by the flood, was found lodged in tree when the waters had receded. That many other bodies will be recovered after the army of men employed in the work has attacked the great pile of debris made at several points by wrecked homes is generally conced- ed. Just how many will not be known for some days. The property damage in Columbus like the death toll Is confined principally to the west side, the business and manufac- turing district having gone almost un- scathed.
