Hutchinson, May 7.-But one vehi-
Gle bridge across the Arkansas river
at Hutchinson is available for use to-
day, because of the flood waters in
that stream. The Main street steel
bridge has sufficiently high ap-
proaches to make its use possible with
still higher water. Four other vehicle
bridges, at and leading to Hutchinson.

out approaches make their-use impos-
sible. The Nickerson and Sterling
bridges are partially cut off by water
today also.
The four railroad bridges at Hutch
inson are all right, though guards
continually fight driftwood away.
The river is four inches higher than
yesterday, but 1T is believed the crest
of the flood is reached.

the Big Arkansas river between Wich-
ita and Hutchinson were reported in
danger today, owing to q further rise

.SMALLEY IS Low
Assistant General Manager
Rock Island Critically Ill.
Physicians Entertain Little
Hope for His Recovery.

A nuSh OF sincere concern hangs
low over railway circles in Topeka
and all along the Rock Island system
today. ]. B. Smalley. assistant gem
eral manager, who was stricken with
paralysis while supervising the con-
struction of a temporary bridge over
in a critical condition at Stormont
hospital this afternoon.
Latest reports from the bedside of
the popular railroad official this after
noon Indicated that only a fighting
chance remains for life. He has not
regained consciousness since the at
tack yesterday morning on the Cim-
arron river bank. His entire left side
is paralyzed. A brave effort Is being
made to remove the blood clot formed
suddenly on the brain.
Mrs. Smalley remains constantly at
the bedside of her husband The
daughter, Mrs. Kenneth J. Main Of
Des Moines. was summoned and ar
rived at noon today. Inquiries from
all over the country are pouring into
the Rock Island concerning the Off
ciafs condition.
Not until today was it known under
what circumstances the attack came
upon Mr.. Smalley. A Temporary tele-
graph box had been attached to a pole
near the. raging Cimarron. Through
this instrument the assistant general
manager had carried on his orders by
wire and had received information
from his Office in Topeka Night and
day. at all hours, he made every ef-
fort to keep traffic moving. rebuild the
washed out bridge structures and avoid
any possible delay in the transporta-
ton OF passengers. mail and freight.
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock he
had completed q strenuous review O the
work along the river front and had
iature telegraph station talking to
superintendent Ramsdell Of the Kan
gas division at Herihgton. With his
secretary, Grover c. Logan. and Train
master Ellis. Mr.. Smalley was ascend
ing the railway embankment on the
way to Mr.. smalley's private car.
Ellis. in noticing that Mr.. Smalley
dropped behind, turned to speak to
him., He looked just in time to see the
assistant general manager fall in the
ditch near the track. He was taken
to his car. where he regained conscious
ness for few minutes, then fell in a
stupOr
The special carrying him to Topeka
was run slowly to avoid the lar OF n
speeding train He arrived at mid
night
There is no doubt that overwory
brought on the attack. The sudden
ness Of the Cimarron and Canadian
river floods had cut off the Rock Is
land from traffic both in the SOUTH
west and parts of the south. The de-
touring of trains and the plans Of
