In recent issue Of your paper, un-

cencY.g you show by an extract from
Golfers and by your own comments,
that the renting OF business or other
property to the deprayed violators OF
law. and for unlawful purposes, leads
to the depreciation Of such property.
and the abandonment Of such property
and its environs by the selfrespecting
and law abiding people Of every com
munity.
We have an object lesson in our
city verifying the truth Of this phase
Of business problem.
The gambler. the whiskey dealer and
promoter OF kindred vices. will pay
high rents, and can be made to pay
them. but his presence is a whitening

Water Pours Over Top
Of levees at Cairo;
Others Broken by Water

CAIRO, Ill, April AT 9 a. m. to-
aay the levees guarding Cairo proper
we're still intact. Water was coming
ever the summit in places. however, and
the militia and the volunteers and hired
aborers were working frantically to re-
!nforce the endangered dikes.
Water today continued TO fiow through
the gap in the Big Four levees into
he drainage district back OF Cairo,
and in two days the low lands proba bly,
will be covered with from ten to twenty
feet deep.
Fire last night attacked the flooded
district around Mound City, Ill, while
several blazes broke out in the 1000
acres of the flooded drainage district.
The gauge stood at 54.2 this morning,
the highest in the history of Cairo.
The seepage from the levees Is assum-
Ing alarming proportions. and, while
the levees are holding, the engineers
fear that the seepage is weakening
lhem and that a collapse is probable.
Practically all the women and chill
iren left the city during the night.
Levee Engineer A. ]. Wheeler. of the
southeast Missouri district has sent out
warnings to all cities in that corner
Of the State, predicting the greatest
iood since 1915, and warning those en-
dangered to move to higher grounds.
According to reports reaching here,
he Deerfield levee at Birds Point went
out last night. and water is pouring
iown over O'Brien's Ridge to Belmont.
The Greenfield leyee on the Missouri
side was also reported out.

GARRISON TO URGE
CONTROL: OF RIVERS
Secretary Of War Will Ask
President to Give Aid to
the Flooded Section.
By CARL D. GROAT.

Secretary of war Garrison and his
Government flood relief special are
back in Washington. Mr.. Garrison this
afternoon Is urging upon President Will
son the need of national river control.
Il have the egg of such plan." said
the Secretary as he neared washington
today after his 2OOO-mile trip to the
death zone. "All it needs Is incuba-
tion.''
Further flood relief work in the dis
tricts to the south Of Dayton will be
directed from the Secretary's office
here. With his lieutenants. Major Nor
moylc and Logan. Major Rhoads, and
others. in the flood zone. he has a
skillful band of workers., and governors
OF ten States are appointing responsible
men to whom appeals can be made.
These will be given aid by the State
and Government.
The Secretary is planning to give ra-
tions to Dayton and other cities for a
week or more. The sanitary battle is
row on. The Government experts are
fighting against probable pestilence.
Secretary Garrison is emphasizing this
work in his report to President Wilson
this afternoon.
Plans now formulated in Cincinnati
Hamilton, Dayton. and Columbus form
the ground work for Secretary Gar
rison's report on Federal river control.
Dayton wants chiefly deepening of its
rived ped. John II. Patterson, head of
The National Cash Register Company
and hero of Dayton, says the Govern
ment can and must assist the strick en-
section.
The nation can do in fifty-two weeks
what it would take us fifty-two years
to complete" says Patterson.
Cincinnati is planning a fortification
wall back of the flood zone and a ship
canal above the city. For this. Federal
aid will probably be needed. Hamilton
Is in Dayton's position. IT. wants a
deeper river. So does Columbus.
Neither Hamilton nor Dayton has fin
ished figuring on how the great floods
happened. They never came before.
and never will again, II the citizens
plans are carried out.
Secretary Garrison knows the views
of the Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Kentucky
flooded railroads. These views he is
presenting to President Wilson today.
Dayton and the other cities in the flood
zone will not soon forget the awful
havoc wrought in their midst The
world will forget-it is forgetting. But

national action. Secretary Garrison is
back Of them. President Wilson will

Five Days, If Levees Hold

4 slow rise of water at Cairo. Ill,

neau's flood expert, in a special bulle-
tin today. He said the Ohio river at
Cincinnati had fallen: at Louisville II

Louis is falling.
THE crest of the flood in the Ohio, =
the bulletin stated, ''is vet about five
laws away from Cairo, SO that 1t seems
reasonable TO expect a slow rise, pro-
gIded the ievees hold. The present
stage at Cairo seems to be at least q
foot higher than il would be, due 10
TO natural causes. This is accounted
for by the fact that the Mississippi
ibove Cairo is somewhat over the twen-
.y-foot stage.

Appeals for immediate assistance fror,
5000 destitute persons in Catlettsburg,
KY, were received at the War Depart
ment and the headquarters of the Red
Cross Society today. Senator Ollie
James of Kentucky appeared at both
places to urge that all possible relic
be given at once.
: In the absence of Secretary of War
Garrison and Miss Mabel Boardman, of
the Red Cross, officials promised Sena-
tor James to refer his request to the
authorities now in active command in
the flood districts.
Catlettsburg is entirely inundated.
James said, and conditions there are
worse than At Dayton, Columbus, or
other cities which have suffered heavily
from the floods. The leyees protecting
the city gave away before the tremend-
GUS onrush Of waters and property, and
personal belongings were swept away.
Besides a brief telegram, James said, no
word has been received as to losses.
