Ice jams today damned the
Wabash river north of Vincennes,
causing swift rises and brought a
new flood menace to Palestine, Ill.
The jams threw new fear into res
idents in downstream towns and
cities where it was feared the
breaking up of the ice might un-
loosen sudden and disastrous ava
lanches of water.
Fifty families we're reported to
have abandoned their homes there
as water seeped over the levees. The
river was still rising this afternoon.
Appeal for Planes
Residents Of Riverton, four miles
north of where the Illinois Central
railway crosses the Wabash, this
morning appealed to Governor
Harry G. Leslie for national guard
airplane with bombs to break up a
huge barrier of ice.
Before action was taken the jam
broke up, precipitating torrent of

Ready to Dynamite


VINCENNES, Jan. 20.-Levee
guards and landowners in the Deck
er Chapel district gathered today
prepared to dynamite a levee along
the Wabash river, nine miles south
west of Vincennes, to relieve their
area of vast flood covering thou
sands of acres of farmlandS in the
township this morning.
The river was dropping slowly,
but the water back of the leveeS,
held by a heavy sheet of ice and
frozen dikes, was almost stationery.
At Vincennes the river stood at %
feet early today, having receded
slowly eight-tenths of a foot in
twenty-four hours.
Two motor launches returned
Sunday night from a tour of the
Decker Chapel district, distributing
food, fuel, clothing and medicine to
the flood refugees.
Boat Fights Way
The boat manned by B. H. Ang-
lin, general manager of the Indiana
Refining Company, Lawrenceville,
Ill, and four members of the Amer
lean Legion, spent eleven hours in
the district, fighting their way
through heavy blocks of ice.
Anglin's crew visited eleven homes.
At one home it was reported thirty
seven refugees were housed and a
dozen persons were gathered in the
second floor of the Decker Chapel
schoolhouse, with only coal oil
heater for warmth. Water was in
the lower floor of the building.
A report from Princeton said four
motorboats laden with supplies
and medicine set out from there
today in an. attempt to reach
twenty-five families marooned in
their homes in Gibson county.
