BEARDSTOWN. 111., Sept. 17.
(AP") A thin line of sand bags
stood tonight' between Beards-
town's 7000 residents and the ris
ing . of the Illinois river. -More
than a hundred men, some of
whom Wave labored without sleep
since Wednesday, worked along
the mile long levee, which pro
tects the city from the river's
waters, staunching . the.:? weak
spots in the wall ot sand bags.
Women found a share in the
battle of the river's churning cur
rents. They "drove trucks, filled
with Band to the edges of Ihe levee
and put the Band in bags with
which the dyke is .being bolstered.
while other groups. served coffee
to the workmen. Three 1 organ
ized crews of workers patroled
the mile of levee with horse drawn
sledges loaded with sand bags
which were banked wherever the
levee showed, weakness.
Tonight the river stood at 22 ;
feet, one and three fourths Inches,
les sthan - four inches- below. -the
-.of the dyke, with Ihe flood's
. lowly swelling as the ' San-
river emptied into Ihe 'Illi
nois, nine miles above the city, the
burden of a Wednesday freshet.
Only if the weather remains
fair withoutfurther rain, prwind
will the barrier .holdt back . the
flood-waters, according to C. .O.

levee workers, ' who has Jaboren
70 hours at his task of guiding
the efforts to control the river.

"The t only man aboard was a

Jewel, in re fating his experiences
"He evidently v was a narcotic
fiend and crazy as a loon. There
were times when I did not see
him for two days. He disappeared
when the' Marion Douglas arrived
at Turtle Bay after being picked
up , by the Bergen. I did not
speak 20 words with the man and
therefore could learn nothing
about what happened to the ori

murdered, but I believe they sold
the cargo of liquor and departed
with the money, leaving the ship
to its fate. j .
"I remained aboard eight day
before the Bergen took us in tow

ot the vessel but could not find a

were hijacked or sold the liquor

CHICAGO, Sept. 17. (AP.)
The United States senate will be
urged , again at the coming short
session to enact farm relief legis
lation on the McNary plan, Sena
tor Charles L. McNary, republi
can., Oregon, declared here today.
but such a measure will have to
compete for the senate's attention
with several other important items
which already crowd the calendar.
McNary arrived today at west
ern headquarters of the republi-j
can senate campaign committee, of
which he is a member. He di
vulged plans to reintroduce .the
McNary bill rejected by two pre
vious, congresses, with some sim
plifications, and refinemcn IS. i
"It is uncertain, however," be
said, "whether action can be had
at the short session. If not, we
hope the farm groups can all get
together and Rndyn measure the
farmers. can support unitedly before-the
long. session convenes a
