BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 3d.
Having reached the stage where even
Weather Bureau officials would not
attempt to predict its capers, the Cum
berland River continued to rise here
today and Nashville was alarmed.
An inch rainfall in the rivers water
shed yesterday and forecast Of more
rains today made the situation serious.
Already the river had passed the pre-
dicted stage Of so feet and was still
rising.
More than 700 families had been
routed from their homes and several
hundred more were prepared to leave.
All night police received calls for help
from families whose homes were being
flooded.
At its present stage, sos feet, the
river might absorb the inch rainfall
without an additional rise, river observ-
ers said, but again the stream might be
forced up inches or a foot by the
rain. A stage of 51.3 feet would add
greatly to the damage.
The record stage of the river Is 81
feet

CHICAGO, March 30.--What

is whether one of his customers
actually waited 80 years for his

fifth and South State streets.
Mr.. Rapp has been q conductor
on the Chicago car lines q long
time and has developed q nice
sense Of the appropriate time and
place. When q woman handed
him q transfer yesterday at the
corner of Thirty-fifth and State
his quick eye discerned an anach-

The time and place seemed
correct. The transfer was from
a State street car. The hour and
day were correctly punched, but
the year was 1898.

The telegram follows:
Critical situation developed In North

deavoring to follow your advice, hold
back their crops, but unable to do so

but principally from lack of credit
accommodation. Urgent need Of imme-

Dakota as crop is being threShed and
moving on market already flooded and
enbargoed.
Officers of new cooperative grain
corporation organized under your ap-
proval say they are unable to do any
thing because not yet incorporated.
Situation seems to call for emergency
action by the Federal Board to open
the channels of financial credit in
Northwest.
Specific question has been submitted
to us whether it is possible for Federal
Farm Board to make direct advances
secured by wheat through existing CO.
operative terminal organizations, such
as Farmers Union Terminal Associa-

prospect of being obliged to dump wheat
on stagnated market and producers SUI
fer heavy losses in price in addition to

FORD PURCHASES
VIRGINIA GOLD MINE
Secures svaucIuse Tract,
Near Fredericksburg, From
Judge Embrey.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FREDERICKSBURG Va, August
24.--Henry Ford, multimillionaire auto
mobile. manufacturer of Dearborn,
Mich, has purchased from Judge Alvin
T. Embrey1 of Fredericksburg the old
Vaucluse gold mine tract in Orange
County, about 20 miles from Fredericks-
burg. The property consists of 200
acres of land, which is said to be rich
in deposits of gold ore and which prior
to the Civil War was mined extensively,
furnishing large part of the gold pro-
duction of the United States.
It is located near the border line OF
Spotsylvania and Orange Counties and
Is part of an area in which numerous
veins of gold exist. Originally these
mines were very profitable, but on
reaching the water level the gold was
found to contain foreign substances and
the expense Of separating the gold was
found to be prohibitive. Numerous
attempts have been made in recent
years to resume active operations in
these abandoned mining properties, but
none of them has been successful.
Nothing is known here as to Mr.. Ford's
intentions regarding the property.
The sale was completed here yester-
day, with H. B. English, washington
attorney, acting for MIR: Ford. In the
tTdIlSt1CtlUklS WILL Oud6C GsAAbACJs
The deed was recorded in the clerks
office Of Orange County yesterday after
noon. While the deed does not state
the purchase price it is understood to
be $4,000. It Is possible that the
wealthy automobile manufacturer plans
to restore the mines to active operation
by the use Of modern machinery and
on the other hand it may be that the
purchase was made because OF the his
toric associations Of the property.
The Vaucluse tract Is q part OF the
original grant Of land in 1719 from. the
King of England to Gov. Alexander
Spottswood, first governor Of Virginia
and chief Of the famous Knights Of the
Golden Horseshoe. Spotsylvania County
takes its name from Gov. Spottswood,
who instituted the iron mining indus
try in the United States, developing
several important Colonial iron mines
near Germanna Ford, on the Rapidan
River, not far from the site OF Mr..
Fords purchase. Negotiations, for the
sale of the property have been under
way since early In July but the identity
of the purchaser was not known until
the transaction had been concluded
yesterday.

CHICAGO. August 24.-An express"
highway building program. entailing ex-
penditure of Sill, 1861, 108, has. been pre-
pared by the West Side committee Of
the Chicago Plan Commission to bring
the western city limits within few
minutes by automobile Of downtown
Chicago.
The plan embraces almost everything
that speeders, safety experts and high
way planners have dreamed of for
years. The program calls for the
double decking or depressing OF three
streets to provide unhindered speedways
for express" automobile traffic.
Monoe, Pol and Kinzie are the streets
which would be improved under the
plan. The three super highways would
lead into the quadrangular speedway
around the Loop, which has been rec
commended by the Chicago Plan Com
mission to divert unnecessary automo-
bile traffic from the downtown section.

MACON. Ga, August 24,-Secret re-
ports of William Lavarre and Harold
Hall to an official and attorney of the
International Paper Co. concerning pur-
chase of four Southeastern newspapers
was made matter Of record yesterday
in the Hall-Lavarre court battle over
control OF these publications.
One among q series Of letters and
kilograms which were introduced by
Hall to show he was Lavarre's partner,
was signed by Lavarre and was directed
retained by the paper company. The
telegram acknowledged receipt Of funds
purportedly used to buy the Augusta
Chronicle, Augusta, Ga, and advised
the attorney to "bawl out somebody"
at the Chase National Bank for men
tioning the name of the II. p. c." In
connection with the deal.
