The river becomes a menace just
north of St. Louis. Mo-, where the
Illinois-raised to food stage by
spring rains-pours in a tremendous
volume of water. The Illinois threat

several inches of water run through
the streets Of the city.
Changed to Lake
The Mississippi stays in it's regu-
lar course some fifty miles south of
St. Louis. but from there on it is
transformed into a lake.
A levee broke on the river near
Murphysboro. III. Waters whirled
into the farm land. Buildings are

area of water.
But the first real disaster picture
comes when the Mississippi reaches
southeastern Missouri territory, a
territory known for its fertile cotton
fields. Two levees broke at New
Madrid. Mo. The little town of APP
proximately 5000 inhabitants is de-
serted save for a few workers. Streets
are running water of four to five
feet high. The water washed away
lower windows in business buildings
and homes. Farmhouses near the
levee are almost submerged. A roof
sticks up here and there, but the re-
mainder of the houses are blotted
out by the foamy, clay-colored river
waters.
Chickens Ride OH Water
In every direction there is water,
and the current is filled with broken
debris. here and there parts of
Of barns and occasionally few
chickens riding on timbers.
Sweeping on toward Cairo the
river has seeped through and forest
like growths of trees are almost sub
merged. Just the upper limbs show
in some places.
At Cairo, there is a tremendous
new volume Of water poured into the
Mississippi from the Ohio River.
Scores of men. welding huge sand
bags, may be seen dotting the levees
which protect the town. Their faces
are grim. Thus far the sweep Of the
river has not reached Cairo and be-
lief today was that the city would
be spared through a diminishing
current in the Ohio.
The northern part Of Arkansas is a
watery waste. The Mississippi has
broken through several places,
sending untold millions OF gallons of
water into the area. The White

Small Houses AflOat
Small houses can be seen floating
in the miles of food waters. The
top corners of a roof-in one of
the low spots-are all that show of
a one-story house. Barns have been
battered by the high waters. There
are few dead animals In the water.
Occasionally along the st. Francis
water front, which is probably the
widest place OF the floor area, hud-
died group OF refugees can be seen
on a small blum or hill. They await

PROSECUTORS OF
JAMES ARM|TAGE
TALK WITH JUROR
Prepare for Trial of PoIiti-
clans on Bride Attempt
Charge.

A conference between Claude
Achey. member of the grand jury
who charged that he had been Of
fered bride by James E. Armitage
to influence his vote in the grand
jury and the attorneys for the prose-
cution was held this morning.
Prosecutor William H. Remy,
Deputy William Sheaffer and Special
Prosecutors Emsley w. Johnson
and John w. Hoffman called Achey
to the grand jury room and presum-
ably went into the matter of evil
dence to be presented at the trial of
Arnlitage on charge of contempt, on
April 20.
Need Early Action
Meanwhile the special prosecutors
- charge of the former grand jury
professed some concern as to the
working of the statute of limitations
on matters which they Investigated.
Three Of these prosecutors, For
mer Judge Cause, Ralph Kane and
Prosecutor Remy, declared after it's
adjournment that the jury, in their
opinion, should have returned indict-
ments in the political probe.
Prosecutor Remy today said that
the statute does not yet apply to
some Of the matters, out that unless
something is done to hasten further
action, some of the acts will be
barred.
II don't think that the statute
of limitations applies yet" said
Prosecutor Remy. But unless some
thing is done to hurry matters, some
of the alleged offenses will be
barred"
Armitage Active
Attorney Fred Cause, special pros
ecutor before the last grand jury,
says:
1.-The statute of limitations would
not yet apply to the things that the
last grand jury investigated. Should
delays go on indefinitely. however,
of course the statute would be eff
fective in barring further consider
alton for indictments. There is some
time yet before it will be effective"
The defense of Armitage was today
busy seeking evidence with which to
combat the charge made by Juror
Achey. Agents were rounding up
witnesses, who, it is intimated, may
attack the record Of Achey.

BOOM FOR LOWDEN
OPENED IN EAST
Headquarters Established by
/ New York Association of
Former WeSternerS.

NEW YORK, April s,--An or
ganized effort to place former GOV
Frank o. Lowden OF Illinois before
the people as a Republican candidate
for President was under way today in
three Eastern States.
With Headquarters opened in New
York, the movement has been under
taken in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut with the knowledge but
not with the consent of MIR. Lowden,
James r. Garrett, treasurer of the
Lowden for President Association Of
New York, Inc, announces.
Garrett. New York insurance
broker, said that when the association
was incorporated at Albany last
month a telegram explaining its pur-
poses was sent TO the former gov
ernor The latter did not acknowledge
it or commit himself in any way.
Only One Office Vacant.
Announcement OF the organization
followed the statement Of Mr.. Low
den this week that he was willing to
consider seriously seeking the noni-
nation if a sufficient number Of agri-
cultural States in the West demanded
it.
All officers of the association have
been elected except a president.
This office has been preferred, Mr..
Garrett said, to a nationally known
business man who was a member of
the New York delegation and voted
on every ballot for Lowden in the
1920 Republican convention in Chi
cago. This man. he said, is abroad
and will not return for a week or
10 days.
Cecil Page. New York lawyer
and Democrat, is first vice president;
Arlo Wilson of Stamford, Conn. sec
ond vice president, and Thomas p.
Moffett of Summit, y. J., secretary
and manager. All the officers are
former Westerners. The headquar-
tiers, on Forty second street, near
Fifth avenue, are in charge of Mr..
Moffet.
Studied Under Lowden.
The officers, Mr.. Garrett said, will
work in harmony with the Iowa
agricultural interests which are fur
nishing most of the motive power for
the boom, but which have contributed
no money for the support of New
York headquarters. Afr. Garrett
studied under Gov. Lowden when the
latter was a lecturer on law at
Northwestern University.
The Eastern organization is actu-
ated by Lowden's personality and
record as governor, not his support
of the McNary- Haugen farm relief
BILL Mr.. Garrett explained. I'VE feel
that some one more human and more
in sympathy with the Middle West
ought to be in the White House.
