NEW LEVEE BREAKS
IN ILLINOIS FLOODS
10000 Acres of Corn and
Wheat Land Are Now
Inundated.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
QUINCY, H., March 22.-The swollen
Mississippi, struggling with the heavy
Spring fiow from its tributaries. crashed
through the second levee Of the Indian
Grave drainage district today and in
undated $4,000 additional acres of corn
and wheat land.
1t was the second break in less than
a hours, and put approximately 10000
acres of rich land under an average OF
seven feet of water.
With millions of gallons of waite.
pouring in through the two breaks,
patrols fought frantically to keep dikes
of some $4,000 additional surrounding
acres from giving away. Eight hundred
homes would be in the food path IL the
levees OF the Mark and Fabius dis
tricts across the river in Missouri, the
Lima Lake region to the north and the
South QuNcy district gave way.
The Indian Grave levee district
breaks brought precipitous drop in
the levee of the river at this point. The
river reached 20.3 stage, within few
feet of the all-time record, yesterday
From upriver, however, came reports
of the continued rise of the Mississippi
The Keokuk gauge recorded 1885 feet
last night, a new record and rise OF
four inches in IL hours. Indications
were that the rise would continue.
The Keokuk food was so great as to
close the wagon bridge between Keokuk
and Hamilton, ILL.,, about 2 feet OF
water flowing over the approach at the
Illinois side.
Factories Shut Down.
Many of the factories in the Iowa
cities along the river have been forced
TO shut down. Three pumps, each hav-
ing q capacity of 10000 gallons min
ute, were at work in the Indian Grave
district until water overfiowed the
pumphouse.
Soon after the first break became
known farmers began to move out theil
property. Some of the more cautious
had taken corn and machinery from the
region several days ago. Wagons, motor
trucks and automobiles were piled high
with furniture, chickens, hogs, dishes
and odd articles as the farmers tool
to higher ground.
Thousands CT bushels of corn were
dumped on surrounding bluffs. There
was time to remove great deal from
the region. The flooding Of grea
broad district of level land through
a comparatively narrow gap takes time
and the rush of the water slows as Il
spreads.
There is always time to escape from
one of these drainage districts after Z
levee breaks, so no loss Of life is feared

FEDERAL LEADERS ACT.
West Coast Situation Causes Uneasiness
In Capital.

West Coast Situation Causes UneaSiness
In Capital.
MEXICO CITY, March az JtAD.-Six
thousand federal troops under Gen.
Lozaro Cardenas we're started today on
a 1.00e-fnile railway journey from Tor
reon TO relieve the rebel siege OF
Mazatlan
Splitting of the force of Gen. Plutarco
Elias Cailes was ordered by the general
issimo as consequence Of reports OF q
well organized rebel offensive down the
Mexican west coast and the cornering
of available loyal troops In that sector
at Mazatlan.
At the same time. Gen. Gales an
nounced that he had completed organ
ization of an army OF 5000 men to pro-
ceed northward from Torreon against
Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, whose rebel
forces were believed preparing to defend
the mountain passes south OF Chi
huahua.
Nayarit Attack Feared.
The situation on the west coast
caused some uneasiness at Chapultepee
Castle. There was the possibility that
a large rebel army in Sinaloa might
drop down through the state OF Nayarit
take Guadalajar and threaten the
Mexican capital itself.
Such oficial announcements as were
made, however, belittled the west coast
force and indicated a government view
that the port Of Mazatlan was almost
irnpregnable to an ordinary force OF
men. Possibility even of siege inter-
cepting food and water supply was
secuted.
II was learned that the government
has close contact with Col Jaime Car.
rillo. the federal commander in Mazat-
Ian. No attack had been made on his
position last night Carrillo had rejected
the demand for his surrender made by
rebel Gen. Iturbe and a few scatter
ing shots were fired across the town.
Government Knows Factors.
The insurgents making up the invad.
ing force were said to number abou
500 and apparently were cavalry ad-
vance guard which had been able tt
make its way down the Pacific Coas
faster than the main body. However
the entire rebel strength in Sinaloa wa
not believed to exceed 5000 and TIM
federal garrison with it's advantageous
position had at least half as many.
IL was pointed out that the govern
ment. as the result of the frequen
military operations in Mexico, has ar
index of about how long and hov
many troops are Necessary to take an,
important town. Mazatlan was said Il
be one of the most impregnable cite:
and had successfully resisted attacks fol
months in past disturbances.
Wells in the city would serve the in
habitants despite the loss Of the main
land water supply.
City Almost Is on Island.
Mazatlan is situated on a body o
land that is almost an island, beinl
connected with the mainland by {
very narrow and long isthmus. Trenche
have been thrown across this neck o
land so that a small force OF defend
ers effectively can oppose much large
investing force
Mazatlan is a city of about 10000
700 miles south of the border and abou
600 miles from Mexico City It has RAJ

Two Of the most prominent women
in public life. just entering upon their
duties in Congress. daughters of the
greatest political antagonists in Ameri-

close friends-Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCor-

Mrs. Mccormick and Mrs. Owen will
discuss Congress from different aspects,
and their talks will be of vital concern
not only to the women who are taking
an increasing interest and influence in
public affairs, but to all American citi-
zens irrespective OF political party affilia-
tions.
This is the first public utterance on
national politics by either of these two
new members of Congress since they

whole country has been anxious to hear
their views and has been looking for
ward to a fight" In Congress between
these two extraordinary women.
Grew Up in Politics.
Mrs. Mccormick Is no stranger, how
ever, to congressional life or to national
politics. She grew up in the armos-
phere and from earliest childhood has
had the condolences of tn outstanding
leaders of the Republican party. Besides
being the daughter of "the man who
made Presidents and who was for two
score years power behind the
throne" Mrs, Mccormick is the widow
of former Senator Medill Mccormick,
who previously had been Representative

home for years has been a salon for
exchange of ideas on all the most i'm
portant public affairs.
She enters Congress with more votes
behind her and therefore representing
more constituents than any other House
member of either party or sex. She
received III ,651 votes. There are only
three Senators who received a larger
vote--Senators Copeland and Houghton
of New York and Reed of Pennsylvania
Mrs. Mccormick could have come to
