new HIGH WATER
DEFENSE RAPIDLY
Being ATTAINED
Cairo's Magnificent Levee System is
Last Word in Modern Con-
struetion.
CONCRETE SLOPE PAVING
INTERESTING FEATURE

Some idea of the appearance of
Cairo's magnificent new stone de-
fense against high water rayages
along the Ohio river is TO be gained
from the progress attained up to the
present time by the contractors en-
gagged in the work.
The wall as has been stated. and is
generally known, is being built up
to the so IT. stage on the Cairo
gauge. The foundation is anchored
to interlocking sheet piling driven
into the ground at variance of from
Il TO 20 feet. From the Halliday
elevator TO Eighteenth street the
wall is being built over the present
concrete structure and from Eigh-
teenth street to the Cairo elevator an
entirely new wa1l is being erected.
1t is reinforced throughout
TIL wall between the two ends is
being built ir sections, and from the
parts that have been completed an
idea OF just what the concrete bar
rier means to Cairo and it's strength
Is given. An interesting sight is
presented when one gazes upon one
section where the work is completed
and the embryonic stage OF the other
whore the workmen are pouring in
the concrete over the net work of re-
inforcing rods and sheet piling. all
securely locked together.
The new wall has been completed
for stretch of about 100 feet be'ow
the Cairo elevator and from there
south in sections of from So feet to
greater lengths.
Above the Elevator.
Above the Cairo elevator the new
earth levee that is to extend from
that point whore the concrete work
stops to the Illinois Central bridge.
IS practically completed for d 500
loot distance. 1t has been brougt.
up to q 63 foot level. the additional
heighth being to provide for

which is being adhered to in the

Work is to begin today on the

which was regarded as the weak spot

On the Mississippi side the con-
tractors have their work nearly COM
pleted and are engaged in the finish

the Cache lcvee the contractors
'tarted late. because the contracts
were let late but they are pushing

FIRE LAST NIGHT.

The fire department responded to
an alarm at 8 30 O'clock last night

A stove had been overheated and
being too close to the floor, had set

PADUCAH BEATEN

ON THE CR|D|RON
Cairo High School Scores Another
Decisive Victory Over Cd
RlIi Is, 90 to 2
H0pELESSLY 0UTCLAsSED
BY RYAN's GREAT TEAM

Cairo high school overwhelmed
Paducah yesterday in fc0tba by
score of 26 TO 2. the game being
staged at Bridgeyiew park. It was
the second decisive defeat handed
the Kentucky high school eleven, tn
frst being a week ago when the To-
cal team was victorious over the
opponents In their home city by q
score Of Ia to o. 1ncidontally, Vie
C. II. s. youngsters added another
to their unhroken scing Of vic
tories
The game started with evidences
that the visitors We're going to give
the home crowd the hight Of their
iives. Several times in the first
quarter Coach Ryan's charges were
within sveral yards Of the goal with
the pieskin when the visitors, fight
inc desperately, kept them from sam.
ing q tally.
Cairo Scores in Second.
II was in the second quarter that
the Cairo boys with the do3ged
spirit that Ryan las drilled into
them, jumped into the fray, and
swept everything bfre them. Bril-
liant line pIunges and long gains by
and runs were featured and the eli
max came when Kusener scored a
touchdown in bullet like sweep for
six yards through the Paducah for
nation.
Almost at the start of the third
quarter, Mattingly on a back pass
from Swoboda dashed through the
opponents fine with all the speed
for which he is noted, and placed
The pigskin eYai al the goal. the re.
suit Of a thrilling SIS yard run, But
he came to the fore still more sue
cessfully when in the same period
he caught forward pass perfectly
at the goal line and rushed into the
10 yard zone tallying another score
for his team. In this quarter Kuse-
ner kicked both goals, adding two
more points to The score.
Forward Pass Work.
In the last quarter, Rink display
ed his ability in the forward pass
execution, by stabbing the ball in a
running chance and tearing off 25
yard touch down. kusener again
kicked the goal, ard added another
tally. In this same period Paducah
gained her two points on a safety
when Swoboda caught their ball on
the goal line. Otherwise the Hog
wallowites would have been white
washed.
Coach Sherman OF the paducah
team said his men were not in forr4
because of injuries sustained in pre-.
vious games and that not al the
regular mon were playing However
the paducah lads in the losing, were
as game as any that have appeared
here. The realization that they were
hopeless'y oltclassed did not prevent
them from making a hight to the fin
ish. Practically two of the team
did all the playing, Shaw at quarter
and Anderson at full back.
Ryan's Machine Wonderful.
The Cairo team never appeared ia
better advantage. Ryau's machine
worked wonderfully and his men
gave touch OF brillHnty in every
move, but more especially in the diff.
fcult forward pass executions and q
series Of new line formations. Mat
tingly and Kusener as usual were
the tower and strength, but the rest
Of the team were not orershadowed
by these two stars.

NOW SEEK GIRLS NAME.
Police and Others Would Aid
Stenographer Held in
Peonage.

The police have interested themselves
in the case of the young girl. a stenog
rapher. who according TO conversation
overheard recently in a North Capitol
street car is being held In a state of
peonage by her employer through black
mall a careful investigation will he
made. and every clue To the identity Of
the man who admitted in public that he
had compelled the girl to work for star
walton wages by threatening first TO have
her arrested for taking stamps from the
office drawer and then TO denounce her
as an immoral woman will be run down.
1t is the hope of the many men and
women who have taken an interest in
the case of this Young woman. that she
VIII make herself known to the police or
to some OF the other persons who desire
TO aid her. In this way il will be pos
sible to have the employer indicted for
blackmail il is said

office in Washington where employees 90
not use some of the office stamps for per-
sonal letters now and then. and nothing
is ever thought OF it, said one of the
men interested in the case. surely this
young girl should be immune from any
punishment for such an act and If she
will make herself known to those who
wish to befriend her she should feel safe
from prosecution"

PLAN FOR ARMY RESERVE.
Morrill, Act Colleges May Be Re-
auired to Furnish instruction.

Secretary Garrison has discovered that
the so-called agricultural colleges es-
tablished under the provisions of the
Morrill, act of 1862 have not been living
up to the terms of that act, which re-
quires those institutions to include mill
turn for the aid they receive from the
public Treasury. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Garrison will make important
recommendations on that subject TO
Congress at the session commencing
next December, in an effort to obtain
greater return 10 the government for
the money it spends.
There are many of these colleges in
all parts of the country, at which army
officers on duty as military in
structorS. While the acL of 1862 pro-
vides for military instruction, 1t is de-
fective in that ii does not establish
in definite terms what must be done
by the college authorities. Neither is
any penalty provided for failure to live
up to the requirements of the law.
Secretary Garrison believes that these
colleges might become a source of
available personnel to be eligible for
appointment second lieutenants in a
volunteer army in time OF war. He also
believes that the graduates of these
schools. properly trained in pre-
liminary way during their course. could
with profit serve for year as addi-
tional second lieutenants. Thus they
would furnish the best possible source
OF commissioned reservists.
