HURT
IN FIRE DRILL

One soldier was slightly injured
in a spectacular accident at the exs
hibtion drill presented in the
riding hall at Fort Myer yesterday
afternoon.
With members Of the House Mill.
tary Affairs Committee, who were
guests of honor at the drill, look
ing on, the fire jump. one of the
most spectacular events, was being
presented as one of the last num-
bers on the program.
A great steel frame had been
lowered and clothes soaked in
gasoline were blazing on the frame
when the special group of riders
put their horses through the
blazing jump.
One of the last in the line was
Private Joseph P. Joyce, of Troop
F, Third Cavalry. His mount
struck the lower bar of the frame.
bringing the blazing circle OF fire
down on horse and man.
Women screamed in terror as
Joyce was thrown right into the
fire, but he managed to escape
with only minor burns. He was
treated at the post hospital and
returned to duty today. His horse
escaped with slight injuries.

To Bermuda Dome

Bermuda's contribution, wh1 C h
may cause old man winter to make
up for lost time-and even exceed
the bitterness of the NorthWest's
already sub-normal cold.
This dome is heaving into sight
from Siberia, and already has
reached Alaska. Just how big it
is. and how intense its effects
will be. Weather Bureau officials
declined to predict.
High-pressure areas appear peri
odically at this time of year in
the Bermuda district, Weather
Bureau officials said, but custom
arily move on in a few days. But
the one which appeared the lat
ter part of December hung on.
1t stayed there for more than a
month.
Meanwhile, other high pressure
areas moved down from the
northwest, covering the northern
great plains States with a cold
wave.
The cold airs are heavier than
the warm. AS the warm winds
encountered the cold, the warm
we're pushed upward. The colder
air condensed the moisture, and
the result was heavy precipitation.

END LOUISVILLE
NIGHTMARE

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 80 Q.N.S0.
The task of awakening a city
from a horrible nightmare went
forward today under the direction
Of Mayor and Provost Marshall
Neville Miller and his staff OF
civilian and military aides.
Undismayed by the huge job
of rehabilitation, workmen stopped
through the receding flood waters,
inspecting buildings, streets, re-
pairing power lines, water mains,
gas mains.
Some were charged with the
gruesome chore of hunting bodies.
While Mayor Miller declared
the death toll would not exceed
200, unofficial authorities fixed
the figure at 400.
The danger of pestilence still
menaced the populace, tWo-thirds
of whom-220,000-were driven
from their homes.
Before re-occupancy of homes
and buildings is permitted, Mayor
Miller revealed, they will be in
spected by a committee of archi-
tects to make sure there is no
danger of collapse because of weak
ened foundations.
Missing persons bureaus" were
established today, to assist in the
reunion of families scattered in
the mad scramble.

BEER PERMITS
LOST BY 100

About 100 establishments now
selling beer and wines either on
sale or off.sale will be forced to
drop that branch of their business
on Monday, the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board revealed today.
Reasons were various. but in
cluded the fact that 1887 licenses
have been refused to some stores
and in other cases the proprietors
have not yet submitted 1887 ap-
plications.
Under the law, any of the 100
beer and wine venders in the Dis
trict must have 1887 licenses If
they are to operate after Jan
uary 81.

FAM|LY HERE
FROM FLOOD

Washington received a glimpse
of the hard realities of flood in
the Ohio River valley with the ar
rival here of a refugee family who
came to Alexandria, Va, seeking
relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas G. Hit,
and their children, Rose, 8, and
George, 6, saw their home in
Portsmouth, Ohio, a little town op-
posite Huntington, w. Va, on the
Ohio River bank, washed away last
Friday after they were rescued by
CCC workers.
The only portion Of their belong
ings saved was their automobile,
which they used to come here.
After arriving in Alexandria Mr..
Hit discovered that his brother
had moved to Savannah, Ga, and
he is seeking the aid of the local
Red Gross in finding a solution to
his problems.

CREST NEAR

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 80
G.N.SO.-The crest Of the Ohio
River flood, which has inundated
more than half the area of Evans
vile, was expected today, as the
waters continued to rise slowly.
At Ia. M, the river had reached
a stage of 1882 feet. The crest was
expected to be passed at around
53.7 feet, or a little more than 18
feet above flood level, a new all
time high mark.
Almost 10000 persons are home
less. The economic loss has been
figured at between $4,000, 900 and
$16,000,000.
Military authorities have laid
down rigid regulations to prevent
looting and the spread of disease.
Civilians are ordered off the
streets after dark, and only those
on official flood-relief business are
permitted use of the public high.
ways.

Is Threatened

to carry the avalanche Of water
from the Ohio's crest, the river
will cut a new channel through
the floodway and inundate great
areas in southeastern Missouri.
Volunteer excavations contin-
ued in the menaced area today,
with an estimated 100000 refugees
already on the march from their
lowland homes.
Most of the refugees trudging
into Memphis, Caruthersville, Mo,
and the Red Cross tent cities along
Crowley's Ridge in Arkansas. have
been forced from their homes by
the St. Francis, Black, Little, and
other flooded tributaries to the
Mississippi. The flood crests of
these streams are now nearing the
Mississippi.
Memphis was the focal point OF
the fight to keep the Mississippi
within it's banks, and the head
quarters for the relief agencies
caring for the thousands Of refu-
gees.
President Roosevelt kept in close
touch with the disaster. Having
ordered all Federal agencies into
the breach earlier this week he
yesterday instructed four high
Government officials to make q

and direct relief work.

Ready for Memphis Crisis

PHIS, Tenn, Jan. 80
I.N.SO.- Fortified by the great
est rescue fleet ever assembled on
either coastal or inland waters.
Red Cross officials and Army Of
ficers declared today they are
well prepared to handle the
emergency should the Mississippi's
levee system fail to hold the flood
waters moving southwark from the
Ohio Valley.
Conservative estimates placed
the number of boats available for
rescue work on the river between
RoSedale and Cairo at 1850. At
least 80 aircraft are standing by
here for immediate service, and
the Goodyear Blimp, Resolute, was
reported enroute here from Flor
ida.
Army officers encountered a
hitch in their preparations to
evacuate thousands of residents
through Memphis today, as an
epidemic of influenza ragged in the
city. One-fourth of the approx.
mately 10000 refugees quartered
here are i'll. DR.. j. Logan Morgan,
In charge of medical treatment for
the refugees, said. and he esti-
mated $4,000 Memphis residents
are suffering from either flu or
pneumonia.
Fifteen Memphis schools were
turned over to authorities today
for use as refugee billets. In addi-
tion 10 barracks were erected at
the fair grounds.
