MISSISSIPPI BREAKS
THROUGH LEVEESTO
FLOOD $4,000 ACRES
Patrols In illinois and Iowa
Fight FranticalIy to Save
crumbIing Dikss

Quincy. ILL.,. March 22.-R- The
swollen Mississippi. struggling with
the heavy spring flow from its tribu-
taries, crashed through the second
levee of the Indian Grave drainage
district today and inundated $4,000
additional acres of corn and wheat
land.
It 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 water
pouring in through the two breaks,
patrols fought frantically to keep
dikes Of some $4,000 additional sur
rounding acres from giving away.
Eight hundred homes would be in
the flood path If the levees Of the
Mark and Fabius districts, across the
river In Missouri. the Lima Lake re-
gion to the north, and the South
Quincy districts give away.
The Indian Grave levee district
breaks brought q precipitous drop in
the level of the river at this point.
The river reached the 2O3-foot stage,
within q few feet of the all-time rec
ord, yesterday. From upriver, however,
came reports of continued rise of the
Mississippi. The Keokuk gauge re-
corded 1885 feet last night, q new rec
ord and a rise OF four inches in IL
hours. Indications were that the rise
would continue.
The Keokuk flood was so great as
to close the wagon bridge between
Keokuk and Hamilton, ILL.,. about two
feet Of water flowing over the ap-
proach at the Illinois side.
Many Of the factories in the Iowa
cities along the river have been forced
to shut down. Three pumps, each hav-
ing capacity Of 10000 gallons q min
ute, were at work in the Indian Grave
district until water overflowed the
pumphouse.
Soon after the first break became
known farmers began to move out
their property. Some of the more
cautious had taken corn and ma
chinery from the region several days
ago. Wagons. motor trucks and auto
mobiles were piled high with furni-
ture, chickens, hogs, dishes, and odd
articles, as the farmers took to higher
ground. Thousands Of bushels OF corn
were dumped on surrounding bluffs.

What Joseph F. Oclrich told the po-

Two men had robbed him Of q 81 500
ring. They fled in motorcar and
he pursued In his. He was fast over
hauling them when two motorcycle
officers overhauled him. BY the time
he had explained the robbers were

Oelrich was rather wrought up
about the way in which the police
had spoiled things. To mollify him,
the officers magnaniously decided not
to press speeding charge.
