 Thecrest of the flood was expect ed to reach Memphis tomorrow.
 Railroads whose tracks parallel the river have, in some instances, erected their own levees so that traffic might be continued. but others are serious ly threatened.

 Help Disabled Vets

 A flock of amendments were of fered, but for the most part they were rejected. Of those adopted, One by Representative Williamson, Republican, South Datkota, would give the president authority by exec utive or1er to transfer to the veter- ans bureau buildings under the jur- isdietion of other government depart ments, but no longer used by them. The bureau director would have au. thority to remodel such buildings for use as hospitals.

 Chicago Dispositions

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 31.--Read- ing of dispositions by Chicago physi- clans and nurse took up most of to- days session in the third trial of Ros COG Ar5uckle on manslaughter charge in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe. They were introduced by the defense in an ef- fort to prove that Miss Rappe suffer ed from chronic bladder trouble 10 years ago. Miss Rappe died of rup- tured bladder.

CHARGE AGENTS WITH ATTEMP
 ID BLACKNA|L
Children's Society Employees Said to Have Sought to
 Shake Down Rickard

NEW YORK, Mar. 3l.-A charge that agents for the Children's Society sought to shake down" Tex Rickard for $50,000 before his recent trial and ecquittal on complaint of a 15 year old girl, and a counter-charge that the affair was concocted to create a favorable atmosphere for the accused promoter during his trial, were report ed today as involved in the suspension of two agents of the society.
 The report was issued by Assistant District Attorney Pecora, who prose cuted Rickard He said the suspen- sion of the two agents had been an- nounecd to him by General Manager Coulter of the society. The suspen- sion was for failure to report what appeared to be an attempt to shake down Rickard," Pecora declared he had been informed.
 This meeting with Rickard was In 6 saloon, February 27 according to an account of 1t which Peora said was given to him during the reent trial, by William Kelleher, agent for the Chil- dren's society. Kellehers story, he said, was that Rickard met four of the agents, that their spokesman told the promoter that for $50,000 theN could get the girls to change their stories, thereby weakening the case against him. AS the story goes, Rick ard said "I wont pay a cent. I'm innicent", and walked away.

RAIDERS THUNDER CARED
 IF EXPLOSIVES
Pirates Overhaul Admiralty Ship; Seize Her; Capture
 Lorries and Tug Boat

LONDON, Mar. 31.-Raiders today seized the cargo of explosives, chief Fly galignjte, aboard an admiralty ship off the Irish coast, and slowed it safely in some unknown place, ac- cOrding to a dispatch to the London Times from Cork
 The movement of large numbers of motor lorries, which were command. 'eered in Cork Wednesday and driven 'to an unknown destination, is now explained as being part of the coup to intercept the admiralty vessel, which was due to leave Cork Wed nesday afternoon for Rocky Island with a cargo, understood to have con sisted mainly of gelignite, which was to have been transported to England.
 More than 100 lorries were seen Wednesday going In the direction of Middleton. Youghal Trees were be- ing felled behind them across the roads, probably to prevent pursuit. The belief was expressed at the time that the seizures of the lorries were made by republicans.
 As part of the plan, a tug boat ly- ing at the deep water quay, Queens town, was seized by raiders. The tug boat, it seems, followed the ordnance ship until Ballycotton was reached, when it overhauled and captured her and transferred the cargo to the Tor ries which had arrived from Cork. The lorries were returned to Cork on Thursday and restored to their own CTS.
 Naval officials at Queenstown learn ed what had happened and sent craft to investigate. They found the ord nance ship and the tug. but not until the cargo had been taken from the forV,a,.
