Austin, Tex., April 1.—Seemingly
reliable information from Washing-

understood at the national capital
that the election of Senator Char-

man of the judiciary committee
means that he is to be appointed as
a member of the supreme court of
the United States upon the first oc-
currence of a vacancy in that body.
It is said that this is the wish of
both President Wilson and Senator
Culberson, and that Mr. Culberson
will not be a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the senate.

Cairo, Ill., April l.-—With every
available man on the levees Cairo
today is fighting the maddest of
rivers. The Ohio registered 53%
feet at 6 o’clock this morning. Con-
servative estimates place the possi-
ble stage at midnight tonight in ex-
cess of 54 feet; the crest in1910
was 54 feet.
Prospects of the biggest rise due
tonight from the Wabash river. It
was estimated that two and one-
half feet were due at Paducah this
morning, and an increase of one
foot is expected.
If Cairo resists the rise there is
little hope entertained for Reel-
foot district below Hickman. A
break there would relieve the situa-
tion at Cairo.
The entire Ohio levee is being
bulkheaded today.
The naval reserves arrived from
Chicago this morning. They brought
two cutters, whale boat and steam
launch to be used as patrol in res-
cue work in the event of disaster.
There is big fear of the levee on
the Ohio side breaking. A report
is current that the Cairo levees were
broken and by hard fight the water
was checked.
It is believed that the district is
now safe. Reported that the levee
at Shawneetown is still holding.

Work on the Intercoastal Canal

sisting of pontoons, pipe lines, etc.

United States engineer, will leave
Galveston for Aransas to formally
accept the dredge and turn her over
