PAPER Flood Waters of the Great Mississippi and Ohio Rivers' Hurl Themselves Against . Surrounding Communities • Floods In the Ohio river from It* mouth to Marietta, Ohio, due to. the great volume of water pouring into it during the past Week by its tributaries, have caused thousands of people to leave the lowlands and seek refuge on higher ground. Early today the water is still rising and at every city along the river heavy damage to property is Reported. Rail road traffic has been impaired and many miles of track washed out. * . In Illinois, Governor Dunne has or dered 1,500 state troops to proceed by special trains to Cairo and Shawnee- town for the purpose of patrolling the levees| Hundreds of laborers also have been sent to pile sacks of sand on the levees. Reports early today from Henderson, Owensboro, Louisville, Newport and Covington, Ky.; Evansville, md.; Cin cinnati, Portsmouth, Marietta, Ohio; Huntington and Parkersburg W. Va., sjiows that stocks of goods in build ings near the river have suffered heav ily and that the damage will run into the millions. There has been no loss of life at any of these points. A telephone message from Cairo, Ill- early today shows that the leves were still holding and that the town was in less danger than was believed last night. The water was still several feet below the tops of the dikes. Wilson Asked to Use His Office to Aid the District CAIRO, Ill., March 31.—The Cairo ex ecutive flood committee last .night, sent an appeal to President Wilson, asking for aid for Cairo and towns nearby. The message was as follows: “The 1 worst floood ever known in the Ohio valley and Mississippi is now ex- -pected. All previous high water records at Cairo and south may be broken in a few days. We are making every effort in our power to take care of local situ ation. but the river communities near us should have assistance. Boats, sacks, foods and other supplies are needed. . May we riot have the help of your great office for this district?" Many Rescued as- Flood. Creeps Into .Louisville (-By Associated ?ress.) LOUISVJLLE. Ky., March 31.—Re peated warnings by the police that a record flood was on the way to Louis ville has not served to preclude the ne cessity of rescue work, which has been going on extensively in Louisville since early Iri the week, when the water first went over the "cut-off" at the East End ot the city. i Yesterday when the water began to reach the second floor of houses be tween Main street and the river, in the business district, boatmen were kept busy removing occupants who had es caped inconvenience from previous floods and had disregarded the recent warn ing. \ . The fire department was called upos yesterday to rescue an aged couple, both over seventy year's, who had been ma rooned in the attic of their home four days with a loaf of bread as the only bite of food in the house. When the firemen found them they were in a pitiful state of exhaustion and their home was on the poyft of collapse RESCUED FROM FLOATING HOUSE. • Asother crew of firemen was called upon to rescue a family of, eight—a man, his wife and three children—from a # liouse which already had been moved from its moorings and was drifting down stream. Several houses on "the Point" which have entirely disappeared are believed to have been carried down stream. * The life-saving crew received a hurry call early yesterday morning to a veri table bedlam of frightened negroes screaming from the tops of some 300 houses which were rapidly becoming submerged from the waters of the large southern outfall sewer, the caps of which had burst. The overflow waters from Bear creek creek, flowing through the sewer were responsible for the out flow which flooded several acres of a thinly populated section and left about 1,000 negroes homeless. After the life-saving * crews’ work here yesterday and last night it was believed today that few families re mained in homes likely to be affected by the crest of the flood. Reports today from Ashland ana Maysfleld, Ky., and Madison, Ind., which began yesterday to feel the ef fects of the final swell told of endrmous prop.i ty damage. MANY FLEE LOWLANDS. Western Kentucky towns today were features of refugee for many people that continued to flee the lowlands, many hundred acres of which already are under water. Henderson,* Oyens- boro and Paducah and other points re ported the river still rising. The cit ies themselves, for the most part, are high and the ‘suffering and damage ft* in the surrounding country. The Pennsylvania system announced that it was prepared today to establish regular service in Indianapolis and through sleeping car service to Chicago, but on most of the other lines entering this city from the north, service was interrupted. In the case of the Louis ville, Henderson & St. Louis, service was entirely suspended. Decides He Lacks Authority to Bind. State to Terms With Dycktdwn Smelters Governor Brown has changed his mind —temporarily, at least—about signing a new Contract^with the Ducktown Cop per company. Xast week, following sev eral conferences' with attorneys for the copper company, he was bent upon ex ecuting a new ,- contract without ques tioning- the wishes of the legislature. Now he is disposed to allow the mat ter to go to the legislature. Accdfrding- ly he has put aside the tentative con tract outlined fey him and prepared by the attorney gfenera! under his direc tion. " - 1 It is said th^t the governor changed his plans only .after he had been con vinced that, he • was without authority to enter into a View contract and after he had been shoyn that the legislature had charged the vattorney general with the duty of safeguarding the state’s in terests as opposed .to those of the cop per company.' 7 Attorney General T. S. Felder was in Brunswick Monday representing the state in the Yarnfarrt Naval Stores com pany’s Injunction suit. He could not, therefore, be interviewed concerning the proposed contract ^ith, the copper com pany, but It is understood that it is his purpose to subrfeit the matter to the legislature. ' ‘ j The present ^ contract does not expire until some time in:October, and as the legislature meets ip June there is am ple time in which to riorisult its wishes regarding the . terms of . a new contract. The last legislature declined to sanc tion a contract whifch, in its terms, was very similar * to the one favored by Governor Brown, the only essential dif ference being in tne amount of the in demnity fund to be required of the cop per company for the protection of the citizens of Gilmer, Fannin and other north Georgia counties from damages to their crops by the fumes of the copper smelting plants. It was proposed in thq contract re fused by the legislature to create a board of appraisers to pass upon dam ages to the property of Georgia citi zens and to provide an indemnity fund of $10,000 from which proven claims for damages should be settled. Governor Brown’s contract provided also for a board of appraisers and an indemnity fund, this fund to be $16,000 instead of $10,000. There seems little likelihood that the governor will reopen negotiations with the copper company. He is expected* in l\ls message to the legislature to rec ommend the adoption of the .contract prepared under his direction. Foremost Financier of the World Is Dead MISSISSIPPI VALLEY People Along Route of Missis sippi Had Better Prepare for a Forty-six Foot Stage, Says River Levee Engineer (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, March 31.—Woodrow Wilson will receive his first pay check as president of the United States today when Secretary McAdoo will present him with a treasury warrant for $5,625, repre senting his salary from March 4 to 31. On payday, hereafter, however, thfe president will, ^ receive $6,250, a full month’s proportion of his $75,000 annual stipend. ^ The treasury department contemplates establishing a precedent in the method of paying President Wilson. Since the days of Washington the president has been paid by what Is known as an "ac countable warrant" which means money to be accounted for. A "settlement warrant" which closes an account, has been given the president only on his last payday when his services were deb ited on the books against the credits S ade to him during his term of office. r. Wilson, however, probably will be given a "settlement warrant” each month and his salary account with the government balanced monthly as his term transpires. No one today knows why the presi dent always has been paid by an "ac countable warrant" which is issued in other cases only in connection with ad vanced money. The president is the on ly official whose salary is paid directly by the treasury department. Vice-President Marshall will receive from the secretary of the senate today the portion he has so far earned of his $12,000 annual compensation. (By Associated Presa.) MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 31.—"The peo ple in the Mississippi valley had just as well prepare for a 46 fqot stage in the Mississippi river," said Major T. G. Dab ney, in a long distance telephone state ment from Clarksdale, Miss., today. Major Dabney is the engineer in charge of the north Mississippi levee board with headquarters at Clarksdale. He also declared that none of the levees could hold over 46 feet of water and* predicted a maximum height ot 65 feet at Cairo. He said that a cer tain amount of relief would come to that city because of the Drlnkwater, Missou ri, gap being opened, but not enough to lower his estimate. A 45 foot stage at Cairo will give Mem phis 45.3. feet, the highest point in 1912 when levees at Hollybush and Mound City, Ark., broke. Correspondent 7 ells How Bulgariat s Took City of / dri inople (By Associated Press.) PARIS, March 31.—A correspondent of The Journal sends an^ account ot the storming of Adrianople in a dis patch dated Adrianople, Marcli 28. tie says the collapse, after a- forty-eight hours’ assault of the fortress, which had resisted the efforts of tne besieg ers for five months is soon explained. When the allies get within the lines the “terrible" • forts, which were sup posed to have thick walls of concrete, turned out to be more or less imagin ary. The so-called “Indestructible" Aivas Vabieh, the key of the defense was really only of brick construction. Durf ng the * siege Shukri Pasha had more heavy guns than the investing armies and by moving cnem was able to crush the fire on the side attacked.

Tfife Turkish artillery at Aivas Tkzieh open ed a terrific fire on Maslak and two Bulgarian batteries were wiped out. The Bulgarians then directed elgnty heavy siege pieces on Avias Tabien, which soon became a shapeless mass of. crumbling masonry. Meanwhile, the Bulgarian infantry crept cautiously forward ready to rush the fort from which the firm bed prac tically ceased at nigtfall. When the supreme moment arrived General Ivan hoff ordered four regiments to ad vance. The Twenty-Third got through the barbed wire entanglements by throwing their coats across Lae wires. The Turks bolted, abandoning their posi tions. The Twenty-Third rushed into Fort Alves Tableh and immediately the Bulgarian field guns and mortars rushed up* and took positiones. These and the guns in the .forts were turned on the other Turkish defenses, attached on tnu flank, made slight resistances. In the meantime, two Bulgarian regi ments entered the city in triumph, with colons flying and bayonets fixed. At lu o’clock in the morning, Shukri Pasha, who had hoisted the white flag on the watch tower and sent out flags of truce to ask for a cessation of hostj—des was taken prisoner before any of his mes sengers returned. 1837--- John Pierpont Morgan---iqi3 “ OF ST.

Pierpont Morgan's Illness, attributed the financier’s breakdown to emotion caused by the investigation carried out by the Pujo committee at Washington- into the operations of the “money trust.’* When the death of Mr. Morgan was seen to be approaching rapidly Prof, r Bastianelli and Dr. Nixon forced Mr. and Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee, his son-in-law and daughter, and Miss Helen Hamilton, who had been In constant attendance to, .leave yie room. Mr. Morgan toward the end showed that he was suffering internally only, by a movement .of his right hand; Other wise he displayed no sign o'f vitality' except by continuous heavy breathing.

Cable dispatches from America, Great Britain and other parts of the world poured In all day making anxious in- * qulries and expressing the affection in which Morgan was held everywhere.
