At meeting between officials Of
Alexander county the city of Cairo
and Colonel Daniel j. Moriarity of the
Seventh regiment Illinois National
Guard, it was agreed to place the en-
tire situation in charge Of Colonel Nj

weak points Of the levees were sought,
that special attention might be given
them.
While the Big -Four levee was still
holding intact this afternoon, the
water had climbed up over the rail-

was only question Of few hours

WORKING TO SAVE THE CITY
LEVEEs ARE BEING INCREASED
IN HEIGHT TO KEEP OUT
THE STREAM.
OTHER PLACES IN TROUBLE
SEVERAL BIG AND LITTLE CITIES
ALONG THE RIVER ARE
PARTLY SUBMERGED.

Cairo, ILL.,, April l. The flood wa
ters continued to rise steadily through
cut last night and at Z o'clock today
stood at a point between 53.2 and
5S.S. The population was early astir
and the fact that the water had sub
stantially passed the So foot mark
caused considerable anxiety. All ex-
pected that today would prove the cru
cial one in the fate Of the city.
The crest of flood is expected to
reach here today and if the levees
hold, it is the belief that the worst
viii be passed. Much trouble was ex-
perienced during the night in the
drainage district along the Big Four
levee. Three times slides occurred
and only valiant work on the part OF
tlose watching it saved the day. no-
zens Of carloads Of sand bags were
placed about the weak spots and Sc
rlous trouble vas averted
Whole Resiasnce Portion Threatened
The water is rising much more RAJ
pid!y man yes orday and the demalc
for more workileD 5ecame urgent, The
surface of the Ohio now stands about
one foot higher than the highest street
level, which is the main street Of the
town and Immediately on the levee.
In case of a break the flood waters
would not rise to more than one or
two feet in the buildings on that
street, but all Of the town back Of 1t
beeames gradually lower and most of
the houses would be completely sab
merged in case of a break.
Already the situation is desperate.
A large subway, which was the only
passage from Cairo into the drainage
district, has been blocked to save the
cily. The place was bearded up AID
dozens Of carloads Of sand bags paced
to hold it
cne Halt the Residents Leave
Most of the houses and places Of
business in the drainage district have
been abandoned already and it is the
prediction that the section is doomed
It is held that if its levees break i'll
cannot result in Cairo proper being
flooded
State troops were sent out in
squads of five today, each squad ac-
companied by policeman, to visit the
rendezvous Of men who are either un-
willing or have refused to work. About
one-half Of the population has left the
city. The fugitives were chiefly wo-
men and children.
Flood conditions heer today along
Ohio river levees appeared incredible
to the oldest citizens They have bat
tied with flood waters for years, but
the present situation, they assert,
looks to them more desperate. The
water Is rising at the rate of about
foot a day and now stands two feet
and eight inches from the top Of the
