the Ohio River, were at flood stage.
The Ohio River was reported ris-
ing at the rate of three to eight

officials here are alarmed over the
anti-foreign riots and are taking all
precautionary measures to evacuate
the 1900 Americans in an emer-
gency.
American battleships and marines
are preparing to use force to cover
an evacuation, but it is realized that
foreign guns, unless discreetly used,
may enrage rather than frighten the
mobs. In no case will American
forces take sides in the internal mill
tary and political conflict.
Twenty.six American war vessels
are in Chinese waters or on the way
there. Near by, at Manila, in the
Philippines, seventeen more are un-'
der steam, ready to move northward
on an hours notice.
Most of the American women and
children have already been evacu-
ated from such cities as HankoW,
Foochow, Annoy and Kiukiang.
Fear is now expressed for the
safety Of Americans in Shanghai.
Even in the foreign quarters of that
port, there are only 10000 foreign
ers against 100000 natives.

The Illinois and Smith attorneys
Immediately protested this and the
committee granted them a week in
which to present arguments.
Meeting in executive session, the
committee called Chairman James
A. Reed of the election investigating
committee expecting him to conduct
the case against Smith. But Reed
said he had nothing to do with the
matter. and lf the body We anted his
committee record, it would have to
get it.
With this unexpected turn, Sem
ator George Dem.), Georgia, moved
the committee obtain the Reed record
and make 1t a part Of the present
investigation against Smith. This
was done, but James M. Beck, repre-
senting Smith, protested. He de-
manded to know the charges against
Smith. and it was discovered the
Reed record made none.
A general argument over this legal
point was precipitated by Beck,
James G. Condor and C. j. Doyle
representing Smith and Attorney
General Carlstrom and Cyrus j..
Dietz, representing the State of Illi-
nois.
The committee decide dto adjourn
until 10 a. m. next Saturday when
further arguments of the defense"
will be heard.

MINE DISASTERS
SUBJECT OF BILL
Compulsory Safety Measure
Urged by Livingston.

The prevention of coal mine dis
asters such as recently befell the
Francisco mine is sought in a bill
to be introduced in the Indiana
House Monday by Representative
Edgar Livingston Of Bruceville.
The plan proposed by Livingston
has been tried in numerous States
and has proven it's efficacy.
The plan Livingston would make
compulsory in Indiana calls for the
placing of pulverized rock or shale
on shelves along the passageways
and walls of a NINE. This rock is
protected by flimsy pieces of cloth.
In case of explosion. the air currents
sweeping down the passageway
would brush aside the cloth and blow
the dust into the air, creating a cur
tain Of rock dust that effectively
halts the spread of fire and ex-
plosion.
Livingston. Is a practical coal
miner himself and he is confident his
plan will be a success.

Counsel for Mrs. Chaplin indicated
today that they were confident of
obtaining the $4,000 due her under

Refusal OF the Government to aid
Mrs. Chaplin to obtain the alimony
left her counsel with no other moves,
but to wait until Chaplin posts bond
when his bank accounts again will
come under receivership. In this
manner attorneys hope to collect
$4,000 in alimony, attorneys fees,
and incidental expenses.
The Superior Court order issued
against Chaplin's money was made

ABOVE FLOOD STAGE
Ohio River Waters Cover Railroad
Tracks.

United Press
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 22.--For
the first time in nearly three years,
flood condition prevailed in Pitts
burghs lowlands today.
The gauge at the point where the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers
form the Ohio river rose to 27.7 feet
today-2.7 feet above flood level. The
Weather Bureau predicted the
waters would begin falling after they
reached twenty-eight feet.
Rowboats were in use in several
streets along the Allegheny River
and the tracks of the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore& Ohio railroads in
that neighborhood were under water
for several blocks. Five feet of
water stood in the ground floor of
the Baltimore & Ohio freight station.
Work on several big building
projects was suspended. Back
water from sewers had flooded ex.
cavations.
The end of the rainy spell and a
drop in temperature to 90 degrees
tonight was expected to stop the
flood, the weather bureau said.
