MANY NATIONS PAY
TRIBUTE TO MORGAN
Mountains Of Flowers at Bier
Of FinanCier.

Rome, April 2.--Surrounded by
mountains of floral tributes from roy
atty, big business men and society oi
every nation, the body Of j. p. Nor
gan lay in the Grand hotel, while
relatives planned for its removal to
America.
II was the day when the wealthy
and all powerful banker confidently
had planned, even while critically Ill
to start for Aix-les-Bains to spend his
birthday, the 18th of April.
With every necessity and luxury
that money could buy at his command
Morgan actually died of starvation.
This fact, startling in contemplation
was stated by his physicians. who
said that all the artifice of medical
science could not get nourishment into
the mans system because of failure
of functional nerves to do their work
The Italian government interposes
almost endless red tape in the remov
al OF bodies from this country, but in
the case of Morgan 1t was expected
that usual delays would be obviateC
through the influence of Ambassador
O'Brien. The removal of the body i:
expected very soon, but no definite
plans have been announced further
than that the body will be conveyed
to Naples by special train and from
there taken to New York.

ON THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
Levee Engineers Preparing for the
Coming Flood.

Memphis, Tenn, April 2.-Levees
along the Mississippi north of here
are being topped by sandbags and
every effort being made to prepare for
a forty-six-foot stage.
Levee engineers say they expect the
water to be running over the levee at
forty-five feet, so that higher stage
is improbable.
The st. Francis levee officials here
began sending telephone bulletins to
all towns behind the main levees that
would be endangered should a break
occur.
Teams and convicts have been
placed at work on the levee at Mound
City and Wyanoke and 1t Will be
raised two feet from the north end to
the st. Francis river.

Ing a 5reak-River Stage Now
Higher Than Street Level.
Cairo. Ill., April 2.-The food situa-
ton in Cairo is desperate. The water
in the Ohio river rose much more rap
idly and the demand for more work.
ingmen became urgent. The surface
of the river stands one foot higher
than the highest street level, which
is the main thoroughfare of the town
and immediately on the levee. In
case of 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 it becomes
gradually lower and most of the
houses would be completely sub
merged.
A large subway, which was the only
passageway from Cairo into the drain
age district, has been blocked to save
the city. The place was boarded up
and dozens of carloads of sandbags
placed to hold II secure.
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.
1t is held that this break cannot re-
suit in Cairo proper being flooded.
All places of business which do not
handle goods needed for the comfort
and necessities of the people have
been closed In order to give opportu-
nifty to get out the strongest working
force possible. Employees Of closed
concerns have responded willingly for
duty and have reinforced to great
extent the work along the river front.
About one-half of the population has
left the city already. The fugitives
were chiefly women and children and
1t is believed that should an ava
lanche Of water sweep over the city
now it would result In little loss OF
life, the number of river steamers be-
ing considered sufficient.
