MISSISSIPPI RECEDES. Government Levees to Hold, gineers Declare, MEMPHIS, En Tenn., April 9 (P)— Vigilance and confidence reigned to. night along the wide course of the Mississippi River from Cairo, IiL, to New Orleans, and river engineers pre- that the Government levees would continue to hold “all the water in sight.” Acute distress at Columbus, Ky., where a private dyke protects the town against the floods, was some- what relieved during the day, as the waters there, several feet above the level of the town and almost at the top of the embankment, began to fall slowly. Guardians of ‘the levee ex- pressed the belief that when the de cline in the current’s height had reached 1 foot the danger would have been passed. River Falls Slowly. The swollen river was falling slowly tonight also at Hickman, Ky., and the flood crest was moving toward Memphis, somewhere along the Ten- nessee border tonight. With a stage of slightly more than 41 feet, the river at Memphis late to- day was rising slowly. The Memphis weather office predicted a crest of 42.5 feet.

Rent $45 and Up 8 t, parents and friends cheered today as the bright new 50-foot' motor boat Essex was launched at the plant of the Electric Launch Co. When the trim craft slid down the ways, Nelson Twiner, 22, leader of the South Orange and Maplewood scouts, who is a clerk for the Prudential Life Insurance Co., fired two salutes from a light Lisle cannon. Before the boat had completed her trip down the 200-foot runway, Twiner picked up a one-pound bag of powder and rammed it down the mouth of the cannon. Apparently, the powder bag stuck, for Twiner tried to force it home with a vigorous push. There followed an explosion and a leap of flame from the gun. Twiner, both hands virtually blown off and a gaping hole torn in his chest, was kndcked off his feet by the blast. Two sea scouts and the father of one of them were burned. Twiner was rushed to Bayonne Hospital where he died an hour later. Physiclans marveled that the scout leader lived as long as he did. They said the explosion had torn such a hole in his chest that his heart was exposed. The others injured, George Kramer, 40, and his son Edward, 18, and Clif! ford Wilson, 17, all of West Orange, were treated for burns and lacera- tions. Emerson Powel, Jeader of the Orange scouts, said Twiner had fired the gun often and apparently was thoroughly familiar with the method of loading it.
