FLOODSST|LL BESET
RAILROADS TO WEST
Chesapeake and Ohio Under
Six Feet of Water at Some
Points on Line.

With six feet Of water over the
tracks in nssny places. the Chesapeake
and Ohio lines west OF Huntington, w.
Va, are out of commission and rail-
road officials refuse to predict when
regular service will be restored.
West of Huntington the Chesapeake
and Ohio main line divides. one line run
ming to Cincinnati and the other 10
Louisville. To neither city is trafhc
open.
The Baltimore and Ohio has more
cheerful tale to tell today. 1t formally
announced that its Chicago line via
Pittsburgh was open over Its own rails
today. Through trains via this route
resumed their regular schedules. wheel
ling so far has been reached by way
af Pittsburgh. The hope is expressed
that BY late this afternoon the regular
route via Grafton will be open again.
As the flood waters have run toward
the South the northerly railroads have
been making more and more progress
toward restoration OF normal conditions
and the Southern roads have been md
ing themselves in worse and worse pre-
dicament.
Thousands of telegraph poles are
down besides the washed-out bridges
and tracks, and the wire service is as
necessary as the rails and the bridges
for the running of trains.

Capital Man Receives
Letter From His Wife
Visiting in Indiana

F. ]. Marble, a Washington adver-
tisine .man, received a letter from his
wife. who is visiting relatives In Peters,
burg. Ind. today, in which she writes
that the whole town is preparing to go
to the hills on account of the water.
Mrs. Marble wrote that the town of
Petersburg was entirely surrounded by
water, but that the high bluffs of Black
burn, two and a half miles above, provided
safety. The letter, she wrote. would be
taken to the nearest postoffice, which
vas working. on horseback. and there
was great doubht as 10 whether 1t would
<yer reach its destination.
Blackburn, Ind, is a mining town.
the whole population of which Is made
ur of immigrant miners. Mr.. Marble
fears that. in view Of a possible short
age of food. the miners may seize every
thing for themselves and leave those
refugees who ree ched the bluffs In safe
ty to go hungry.
DR.. Charles S. Little, Mr. Marbles
brother-in-law. is In charge Of the min
ing company's store in Blackburn, and
Mr.. Marble fears that he may be rough
ly handled In any fight for possession
Of the store. The town Is surrounded
by water and no communication with
the outside world can be made.

OH|OLEVEES
SAFEGUARD FLOOD
Rapid Rise of River Makes 1t
Dangerous to Count on
Safety of Country.

The flood situation on the lower Ohio
river depends on the levees holding,
according to Prof. A.. II. Henry, of the
Weather Bureau. in charge of the Hood
division of the bureau. At Cairo. the
river is now fifty-two feet, a rise of
more than foot since yesterday. II
Is difficulty to say just what Will hap
pen here, Prof. Henry said today.
There is not very much leeway. The
river has gone as high as fifty-four
feet without the levees giving way and
this may happen again. The situation
Is extremely dangerous. however"
The situation Is aggravated by the
fact that the crest of the flood is now
only at Cincinnati. Reports from that
CITY show the river now at sfxty-nine
feet. 1t Is not expected that the water
will rise above seventy feet and Ill is
the highest it has ever been. Prof.
Henry said that the present stage In
dicated the crest of the Hood
would reach the city today IL 1t is not
now there. He does not anticipate the
breaking of any high water records at
this time.
'.It will take probably about six days
for the flood to reach the lower Missis-
sippi river. at least the part about
Memphis" said Prof. Henry. The big
river is rising slowly and will con-
tinue to do So as the volume Of the
Ohio, the Cumberland and other swol-
len streams is poured into it, accord
ing to Prof. Henry. At Memphis, the
river is now thirty-six feet. The flood
stage is thirty-five feet. so that the
river is already within the danger zone.
The rise Of the Mississippi Will be
more gradual than that of the Ohio.
and several days will elapse before the
flood reaches the danger points along
the river where there were disastrous
washouts last spring. The streams tri-
tutary to the big river are low. ac-
cording to reports received. and the
Mississippi has been falling previous to
the present f1cod. SO that conditions are
excellent for providing for the flood
waters from higher up the river.

Conditions in the flood district are such
that the work Of finding particular per-
sons Is very difficult. With their homes

the general confusion they have become
Tor the while lost to sight. Many others
have disappeared to less frequented
places Of safety and until the flood has
subsided will not be heard from

The Times representative. however,
is sparing no pains to CLEAN all the
news possible and has enlisted the aid
of every agency in the flooded cities

by word of mouth for them to report
to the representative Of The Times.
From anxious relatives in Washing
ton The Times bureau in Cincinnati is
being flooded with names to be searched
for and with that city as a base the
search is being carried on with the ut
most care and system. Just as soon
as communication is established with
town or section the names of
those for whom The Times is searching

is requested. Already result Of this
systematic search is being shown and
