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

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.
