The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Places Embargo on All Shipments
Mt $3.50 Tonight.

Mr.. w. w. Wikoff, local agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, in
formed us this morning that he had
been ordered by Superintendent j. B.
Harris of the Cincinnati Division OF
the road, to receive no more freight
following the close Of business to-
night at $3.50 o'clock. All shipments
received today will be accepted, sub
ject to delay.
The move was taken by the railroad
officials on account of the threatened
railroad strike, which will be put In
force tomorrow according to reports
from all over the country. This move
is being followed by all the roads OF
the country.
Upon inquiry at the Louisville and
Nashville Station this morning we
were informed that they had received
no notice of any embargo on their
lines.
The situation will not be so serious
in Maysville as 1t will in other towns
on the c. & o. depending on that sys-

receiving shipments, goods can be sent
by way of Lexington to Cincinnati.

CREST STAGE
OF the River VIII Pass Here Late Fri.
day According to Telegram
From FOrecaster
Devereaux.

Capt. G. M. Phister, local wharfmas-
ter, is in receipt of telegram from
Weather Forecaster Devereaux Of Gin
cinnati, stating that the crest stage Of
the river would be from SO to 55 feet
and would reach Maysville late Fri
day afternoon.
The gauge at the local wharf this
morning at 9 o'clock was 51.0 feet and
rising at the rate of about two tenths
of an inch per hour.
The street car service between East
Maysville and the lower part Of the
city was interrupted last night about
$3.50 o'clock, the street car company
abandoning the pumping few mo-
ments before. They did not build the
board walk across the backwaters as
in the rise of last spring and as
consequence East Maysvillians are
using the L. & N. bridge this MORN
ing.
Water has completely blocked Front
street between Limestone and Mar
ket streets. The lower part of Lime
stone street is covered. Lower Wall
street was impossible early yester-
day afternoon and several houses at
the foot of the street were abandoned
Although the river will 20 to q
stage of 55 feet and probably even
higher there is no danger Of flood
to equal either that of 1913 or 1907
The situation Is not alarming and un.
less heavy rains fall serious conse-
quences will not result.
The usual packet service on the riv'
er has not been interrupted by thc
food. The Greenwood will pass III
tonight for Pomeroy and the Chile
will pass down for Cincinnati today
The river is now higher than it has
been at any time this winter, although
it is few inches lower than the
high mark Of last year. The indica
tions are that the food will reach the
highest mark since 1918.

Ago.

A detailed statement Of just what
the Government men will do for Mays
vile in their work for better health
and sanitary conditions, If the $4,000
Is raised, was given by a representa-
tive of the United States Public Health
Shervice when he visited Maysville
the other day. He came here to see II
Mason county is going to take advan-
tage of the proposition which has been
made.
His statement outlining the work
was as follows:
A staff of health experts under the
management of director will open
quarters in Maysville and proceed to
60 over the country in a most thor
oUgh manner Each case of insanitary
conditions will be found and the cheap
est and most efficient manner of cor
rection will be shown and in cases
where the work of correction is done
at once, it will be supervised by the
Federal experts
While the U. s. Health men are here
anu iiiiICuidtcly iUilOWlHS tleIIl, IlC
State authorities will go over the
ground and see that the necessary
changes are made.
According to the representative
from Washington, it has seldom been
found necessary for the State author
tiles in states where surveys have
been conducted, to enforce the laws
as the exposition of the danger in each
case has been sufficient to cause them
to voluntarily make the necessary
changes.
In this way without unnecessary re.
sort to legal measures everyone in the
county will be brought to a vivid real
ization of the necessity for better con.
ditions.
The work for the fund.- although ad.
vancing steadily is still in danger ot
not finishing in time. A personal re.
spcnsibi!ity rests on the shoulders Of
every person in Mason county to ait
