& n v DAMAGE BY FLOOD t IN BIG FIGURES < I } Railway Tracks Must Be Repaired. ? Two Months* Work. t t Knoxville, Tenn., April 2.?^Floods following: unusually heavy rains did ' widespread damage in this section last night and today. Ten miles of the Little River railroad company'stracks in the mountains above Knox-i] i ville were completely destroyed and j i from 15 to 20 miles more were either -? destroyed or badly damaged. The j 1 damage to the road is estimated at j more than .$50,000 and will take twoj months or more to repair. The Knoxville and Augusta railway also suffered considerable loss from washouts and lost two trestles between Maryville and Walland and Maryville and Caulder Wood. A long stretch of the Southern railway's tracks between Morristown and Asheville was inundated and trains were running late but no seri ous damage was reported. The Louisville and Nashville rail- j road suffered severe washouts be- ^ tween Etowah and Copper Hill on the , Altnta division causing one train to be c annulled and necessitating the trans- j fer of passengers on others. e Seveirville, 26 miles east of Knox- * ville, was completely under water to- ^ day and many families were forced to j flee from their homes. The light and ^ power plant was put out of commis- j. sion and the town was cut off from j Knoxville when the high water cover ed the railroad tracks. I c At Knoxville the Tennessee river has reached a stage of 22 feet but . soon is expected to begin falling. * Much damage was done by swollen ? a creeks, the banks of which are thickly " populated. Last night and early this c morning police reserves were called * out to assist in bringing families to 3 safety. p g Chattanooga, April 2.?With a 47 S foot stage of the Tennessee river predicted by Sunday night, and many of the low sections of the eity already j ^ under water, city officials moved to- j day to furnish relief to flood suffer-1 ers. Early today motorcycle police- j . ' -11 J-T ,-s^ j 1 men were sent into mi imcdicucu -territory and the inhabitants were c warned to move out at once. The s armory, tabernacle and school build- * ings have been set apart to house the a homeless and flood relief headquarters c have been established at the office of 1 Mayor Chambliss. c Railroad and street car traffic is de- c moralized, a long fill on the Southern railroad near Tyner having collapsed j this morning necessitating the detouring of all traffic between Chattanooga and both Knoxville and Atlanta via Harriman. Several important bridges near the T city house were washed away and the street line in Roseville, Ga., is under water. Numerous manufacturing plants have already closed down * and virtually the entire city will have to close operations by Sunday. Colonel Foltz, in command at Fort i Oglethorpe, Ga., has offered as many ~ army field kitchens to the city officials ( as needed, but states he could not 2 ' f spare any troops to aid in relief work. ? The first fatality of the flood occurred this morning when a 16 year ^ old boy named Ward was drowned t when his father drove a team over a t bank into the swollen water of ^ Chattanooga creek near the city. The father, John Ward, was caught in a tree, from which he was rescued by d * ? rni 1. men in a boat several hours later, me i two horses were drowned. ^ Reports from other sections along j e the river show that the flood stage P has been passed at Knoxville and ^ Charleston, above the city; at Flor- ^ ence and Riverton, Ala., below ^ Chattanooga. v tJ Asheville, N. C., April 2.?Heavy n rains and high waters last night and today did great damage to many sec- ^ tions of western .North Carolina, tne \ Southern railway being the hardest hit. The Murphy division of the Southern is blocked for more than half its distance, heavy landslides and ^ washouts between Bryson City and other points in that section causing a tie-up in the operation of trains, which will not be remedied before s noon tomorrow the officials state. c Trains from Asheville to Knoxville are marooned in the vicinity of c Bridgeport, a small village near Newport, Tenn., tonight, and the Southern ? has made arrangements to feed the passengers and make them comfort- ' able for the night. Other trains due here from Ciricinnati and the West ^ were detoured at Morristown and Johnson City to the C. C. and 0. In c Asheville the French Broad river | reached the highest stage today, eight c feet, of any time since the great flood iQirt tlip wst.pr bcinc in the base- c ment of the big factories along the i vrter frorit, ana scores of families ( been compelled to move out. c Atlanta, April 2.?Traffic on the Southern railway lines between At- -lanta and Chattanooga and at other \ points near Chattanooga, which was i ? i >Iocked by high water was moving | igain late today, it was announced lere tonight. Nashville, Chattanooga tnd St. Louis trains were being rout?d over the Southern late today beween Dalton, Ga., and Chattanooga, j rAX ON LUXURIES TO RAISE BONUS Washington, April 2.?Soldier re-i ief legislation with probable pro-! .'ision for a cash bonus funds forj cvhich would be raised by a sales or j uxuries tax, was approved today by j ;he house ways and means committeej t>y a vote of 15 to 6. Details of the ^ill to be recommended will be workid out by sub-committees to be appointed Monday. Members of the committee hope to obtain final action by the ftouse Defore the contemplated recess for the! lational political conventions, but | :hey express doubt whether action by j :he senate could be had at this ses-j ?ion. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader, after a conference 1 ;oday with other senate Republicans; is to future legislation in the senate, ] >aid he thought this would include a >ill to give a money bonus to former service men, with provisions for a ipecial tax to raise the necessary !unds. The program approved by the louse committee declares against any >ond issue. It is understood to have een submitted by Representative jongworth, Republican, Ohio, and Fas discussed at great length in ixecutive session. While the exact form of legislaion was not decided upon, committee liscussion was said to have indicated .pproval of a plan of extending voational education as an alternative o the cash bonus. These two plans ,re a part of the American Legion's rogram. Its other selected plan of 'nvpmment aid to soldiers and ailors for building some homes or btaining ownership of farms were aid by some members of the committee to involve too many differences o be worked out by" legislation before he recess. Spokesmen for the committee said t was planned to have the final Iraff af the legislation ready for ubmission to the house within a ortnight. As no decision was made is to the amount of the bonus or the 1 ^ ? ^Vkr?4- lviiorVtf Ko !OSt 01 Olficr pitins uiat iiiiguv uv idopted. it was said that no estimate >f the funds needed could be made it thjs time. It also was said that here had been no decision as to vhether the bonus would be paid in a ump sum or be graduated according o the length of service of each inlividual. The program is understood to have :he approval of the Republican leaders of the house assuring early consideration for it. *???uv n cpvs \/\lJU TT/l J vidi<i\iw TO RESUME WORK Roanoke, Va., April 2.?At a conference this morning between officials >f the Norfolk & Western railway tnd local and international represenatives of organized crafts on the ystem who have struck in sympathy vith the clerks who walked out March 12, a settlement was reached under he terms of which all employees of he company will resume work immeiately.
