FIRST MESSAGE IN
WILSON WASTES FEW WORDS IN
TFI I IMA rnNAocee \A/uat IT
SHOULD DO.
TARIFF REVISION HIS TOPIC
President the Schedules Must Be
Radically Changed to Square With
Present Conditions, but Work Requires
Careful Consideration.
Washington, April 8.?President
Wilson's first message to the Sixtythird
congress, assembled in extraordinary
session, was read in the senate
and house today. It was surprisingly
Bhort, being In full as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
I have called the congress together
In extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon the party now in
power at the recent elections which It
ought to perform promptly, in order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and in order, ulso,
that the business interests of the
country may not be kept too long in
suspense as to what the fiscal changes
are to be to which they will be required
to adjust themselves. It is clear
to the whole country that the tariff
duties must be altered. They must
be changed to meet the radical alteration
In the conditions of our ecnomic
life which the country has witnessed
within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recognition
the tariff schedules have remained
what they were before the
change began, or have moved in the
direction they w re given when no
! large circumstance of our industrial
i development was what It in today.
Our task is to squihfe thetn with the
actual facts. The sooner that Is done
the aooner we shall escape from Buffering
from the facta and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature (the nature
of free business) Instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial arrangement.
Business Not Normal.
Wo have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in our day?
! very far indeed from tho field in which
our prosperity might have had a normal
growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely In the
face or knows anything that lies be
neath the surface of action can fail to
perceive the principles upon which
recent tariff legislation has been
based. We long ago passed beyond
the modest notion of "protetftlng" the
industries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea that ?he>
were entitled to the direct patronage
of the government. For a long time?
a time so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember tlit
conditions that preceded it?we havt
sought In our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro
dueers what they themselves though!
that they needed in order tc
maintain a practically exclusive
market as agninBt the rest of the
world. Consciously or unconsciously,
ye have built up a set of privileges
and exemptions from competition behind
which it was easy by any. even
the crudest, forms of combination to
organizo monopoly; until at last, noth
Ing is normal, nothing is obliged to
Stand the tests of efficiency and econ
omy, in our world of big business, but
everything thrives by concerted nr
rangement. Only new principles ol
action will save us frutt) a tlnal hard
crystallization of monopoly and a
complete loss of the Influences that
quicken enterprise and keep Independent
energy alive.
It Is plain what those principle;
must be. We must abolish everything
that bears even the semblnnee of pYiv
liege or of uny kind of artificial ad
vantage, and put our business men
and producers under the stimulation
of a constant necessity to be efficient
| economical, and enterprising, master;
; of competitive supremacy, bettei
j workers and merchants than any in
| the world. Aside from the duties laid
i upon articles which we do not. and
| probably cannot, produce, therefore
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
! merely for the sake of the revenue;
they yield, the object of the tariff du
ties henceforth laid must be effective
competition, the whetting of Ameri
can wit's by contest with the wits ol
the rest nf iho ornrM
Development, Not Revolution.
It would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless
i haste, or with strokes that cut at th*
very roots of what has grown ur
amongst us by long process and at
our own invitation. It does not altet
a thing to upBet it and break it and
deprive it of a chance to change. 11
destroys It. We must make changes
In our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system
whose object is development, a more
free and wholesome development, nol
revolution or upset or confusion. Wt
Woman In New Sphere. *
Oporto is the only city in Portugal
that can boast of having a feminine
health inspector, a woman having
been appointed by the government to
a subinspectorship in the department
of public health. Another striking appointment
by the government comes
with the selection of a well-known
woman scholar to a professorship in
ordinary at the Universities of Colmbra
and Lisbon. The lady professor
in question has been appointed to fill
the chair in Germanic philosophy.
must build up trade, especially for'
elgn trade. We need the outlet and
the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up industry as well and muBt
adopt freedom in the place of artificial
stimulation only so far as it will
build, not pull down. In dealing with
the tariff the method by which this
may be done will be a matter of judgment,
exercised item by item.
To some not accastotned to the excitements
and responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may In
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. It is our
business to make sure that, ihey are
genuine remedies. Our object is clear.
If our motive is above Just challenge
and only an occasional error of Judgment
is chargeable against ub, we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more matters
than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts aB they are, and not worked out
as if we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts of our own day,
with the facts of no other, and to
make lawB which square with those
facts. It is best, indeed it is necessary,
to begin with the tariff. I will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can obscure
that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time I may take the
liberty of calling your attention to reforms
which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, if not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and currency
lawB*, but Just now I refrain.
For the present, 1 put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing?-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of prosperity
to a great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.

1 mostly (unlike the English houses of
Stuart and Tudor, which were the respective

each house, before he ascended the
throne) they are descended In the

Time?Some Fearful Experiences
Brought to Light.
Chicago.?"Women and children
first."
This world-old cry, made more memorable
when the Titanic disaster
thrilled the world, echoed over the
flood-stricken districts of Ohio and Indiana.
Refugees who reached Chicago
told Innumerable stories of men risking
tbeir lives to save the women and
children.
The unwritten law of the sea was
observed on the inland rivers. The
entire tenor of stories told by refugees
was one of bravery, self-sacrifice and
devotion to the weak and unprotected.
"Women and children first."
Only One of Many.
"What 1b your name?" asked the
registerer who received refugees at
Dayton, O., of a slender person in
men's clothing.
"Norma Tliurma," was the reply.
Norma came }n with Ralph Myers,
bis wife and little baby. Myers had
climbed a telegraph pole first, lie let
down a rope to his wife, who tied it to I
a meal sack which contained their
baby, three months old. Myers pulled
the rope with its precious burden up
and then let it down to aid his wife.
Holding on to two thin wires, he traveled
across tho cable a full block to
sufcty.
Whole Families on Roofs.
All of the first terrible night, while
the city of Peru, Ind., was in inky
darknesB because of the cutting off of
the gas and electric light supply, men,
women und children, and in some instances
entire families, lay flat where
they had crawled to the roofH of their
homes, waiting for daylight to bring
relief. Hundreds of others were
lammed in the courthouse and lodge
buildings, which were in the only four
blocks of the city not under wutcr.
The first thought of rescue parties
was to send into the town boats to
carry to safety those who were threatened
with drowning. Telephone communication
had been opened with
points in the residence and business
districts and from those marooned in
buildings it was learned that muny
persons, including some women who
held their children in their arniB, had
j been on roofs exposed to an almost
freezing temperature all night. One
man telephoned he had seen several
fall from exhaustion nnd slip into the
water. It was the purpose of the rescuers
first to reach those in greatest
danger. Hundreds of others huddled
! together at the courthouse, although
In want of food and water, were to be
taken later.
Heroes in All Classes.
If a great loss of life was averted
at Peru, this is due to some heroes of
the Owen Wlster type, river men aud
water rats from surrounding lakes,
; who by unbelievable prowess with a
pair of frail oars rescued the doomed,
and in splendid harmony with their
virile efforts shities the spirit of womI

Among the latter are Mrs.- K. H.
Bouslog, Mrs It. d. Edwards, and

of local millionaires, and ulso leaders

Among the boatmen two brothers,

on the corners left in Peru. Ted, with
W A. Huff, a denttBt, braved the turbulent
waters of the Wabash river,
cutting ofT Peru 011 the south side
and rendering uncertain the fate of the
inhabitants of South Peru. 'According
to the report the two rescuers reached
the opposito shore alive, after having
been overturned several times.
The Man on the Roof.
1 ' There were two heroes on the Dayton
floods. Their names are M. B.
Stohl and C. I). Williamson, and. they
, are employes of the American Telei
graph and Telephone company.
Stohl is a wire chief at Dayton, lie
' reached the Dayton office of his com,
pany late the night before the floods
' came. The rush of the waters put all
| the telephone batteries and nowor nnr
j of commission. Forgetting thoughts
of escape, Stohl rummaged around
until he found a lineman's test set
With this he rigged up a sending and
receiving apparatus, and cut in upon
the wire on the roof of the four-story
I building. This wire connected him
with Phoneton. a testing station eight
miles away. Thus he established communication
with Williamson, whose
batteries were still working.
Then Stohl sent messages from the
flooded city, otherwise cut off from
communication with the outside world.
All night he stuck to his post. All next
day he remained. The following noon
found him still on the root of a building
whose foundations were being
sapped by the waters.
There he stayed In the rain and cold,
with the prospect of death staring him
in the face every moment. He sobbed
a strong man's sob as he told his tale
of death and desolation; of floating
wreckage bearing men, women and
children doomed to death; of dead
bodies Berne upon the crest of the wa
tors: of nltpnim alvhta In ?hanii>aliia?
enough to unnerve the bravest of men
But he stuck to his post.
Surgeon Tells Graphic Story.
Dr. Ray B. Harris, a police surgeon
of Dayton. Ohio, and one of the chler
workers among the injured immediately
after the cyclone, told a graphic
story of the sufferings of the hundreds
who were hurt.
"When we began to collect the bod
:e's we realized for the first time the
Tearful state of affairs," said the physician.
"It was as grewsome a task
as I ever worked at. Some of the
bodies were twisted into frightful
shapes and some had pieces of
wreckage?wood and Iron?driven
through their bodies. Dozens were
pmothered to death, some were
burned, still others were crushed and
beaten to death by the flying timbers.
"Every physician In the city, and
even the medical students, were at
work Sunday night and all day Mouday.
I impressed two dentists myself,
although 1 didn't want any teeth
drawn. They worked like Trojans,
too.
"Some of the taxicab drivers thought
it was a golden opportunity to reap a
harvest, and demanded huge sums for
carrying the injured to the hospitals.
The doctors wouldn't stand for anything
like that, and I personally
thrashed two drivers who presumed
to haggle."
Another husky young doctor hnd an
argument with a chauffeur, who demanded
$5 apiece for conveying two
injured women to a hospital. When
he would not yield the physician
seized a piece of board and knocked
the man senseless with it. Then he
took the chauffeur to the hospital with
the women and ministered to hiin
It is such incidents as this that evidence
the fearful night of terror and
panic and the day of sorrow that followed.
Hang to Roof Thirty Hours.
After hanging to the roof of their
home for thirty hours, with a strong
wind blowing and a heavy snow falling,
August Schmidt, wife and two
children were rescued. None of them
could move a muscle, being chilled
through. They were removed to Van
Clove School, w here hundreds of other
rescued were taken.
"I'd have' fallefi into the water If it
hadn't been for daddy," exclaimed the
little girl, who was first of the four to
recover sufficiently to talk.
"When the water came into the
house we had to climb on the roof.
Daddy held me and mamma held
brother. Oh, it was cold. I thought
I was going to die, but daddy kept
hold of me."
A little boy, who, during the night
clung in full sight of the rescuers,
was rescued. He probably will die.
The little fellow was discovered after
the ilood had risen so high he could
not weather the waters.
Heroic Rescues Common.
From all parts of Dayton come storfea
of heroic rescues. T^e stolid
volunteers pay no attention to them.
All of them for three days have constantly
offered their lives to save
others. Several of these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying to
reach persons in floating houses, saw

Late In the day a large frame house
floated down the river. Four women
were in the windows. As they neared
the Main street bridge they waved at
the crowd on the banks and the building
struck the pieces. There was a
swirl' in the murky waters and a \Jttle
farther .down stream the debris
appeared, but none of the women.
Victims Are Cheerful.
One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first great flood in many
years. Much of the submerged area
bad been considered safe from high
water, but' as the majority of residents
of these sections looked out on
all sides upon n great sweep of muddy.
swiftly moving water, they seemed undisturbed.
In soma of the poorer sections the
attitude of the marooned was not so
cheerful. As a motor boat passed before
the second floor of one partly
submerged house a man leaued out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took ofT his wife and a baby that had
just been born. The woman, almost
dying, was let down from the window
by a rope and taken to a nlaee of
refuge.
Further on, members of a motor
boat party were startled by shota In
the second floor of a house about
which five feet of water swirled The
boat was stopped and a man peered
from the wiridow of the house.
"Why are you shooting?" he was
asked.
"Oh, Just amusing myself shooting
at rats that come upstalrB. When are
you going to take i&e out of here?"
he replied.
The bodies of a woman and a baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one of Dayton's main thorough
fares. It was thought they came from
the district north of the river.
Go Insane, Slay Families.
There were stories of Insanity caused
by the flood at Dayton. A father
had killed his four children and
his wife and then leaped into the
flocfl.
Children had been born in boati
that were carrying their mothers tc

of buildings, only to die from exposure.
The suffering of the survivors huddled
together In the marooned buildings
whs awful. Food and water
could not be taken to them.
Foreigners killed their country,men
and even members of their families
In their desperate efforts to obtain
food, according to John Volbrecht
of Yukawa street, In North Dayton,
who was taken from the one remain- #
lng abutments of the Herman street
bridge. Volbrecht said he was at his
home with his family when the flood

Volbrecht said he clung to the bridge
and didn't know what became of his

One woman with a ten-day-old baby
climbed over the roofs of three houses
to reach the rescuers.
Many Rescued by a Cable.
Many thrilling stories were told by
the Dayton refugees who bad been
trapped in their attics and on their
roofs in the very heart of the flood.
A. J. Bard of Belmont avenue, who
was penned in the City National
Bank building on Third street, near
Main. Tuesday, was rescued.
"One hundred and fifty of us were
caught in the building," said Mr.
Bard. "We remained there until the -Are
started, then we began to plan an
escape."
"We cut the elevator cable and ob
tained a ball of twine and some small
wire from one of the offices. We attracted
a boatman, who risked his life
to come to us. We gave the boatman
one end of the twine and he rowed to
the old courthouse. He then pulled
the wire over and after that the heavy
cable.
"One end of the cable was made
fast in the bank building and the
other in the old courthouse.. T&en.
with only the light of the burning
structure, the 150 persons in the bank
building uiado, their way, hand over
hand, along the cable over thtf swirling
torrent to the courthouse. 1 believe
every one, men and women,
made the trip in safety. During our
imprisonment I had two crackers and
a slice of chipped beef to eat."
Only Doctor a Drug Fiend. "
Terrible scenes were reported from.
West Indianapolis. Conditions In the
flooded district were made worse by
the fact that the only physician who
was there to attend sufferers was a
victim of the morphine h,abit. In the
Methodist church a woman rescued
from the bottoms gave premature
birth to twins. The physician, what
with the horror of his duty and his inability
to obtain more of the drug,',
went insane, and after making three
unsuccessful attempts to jump from
a window, was placed in stn^ht- ~ ,
jacket. \V
Forty Dead at Bridge.
Richard Lee, an engineer on the
Pennsylvania, who brought in the last
train over that line from Logansport,
reported a terrible condition at the
Pennsylvania bridge over the Wabash
on the outskirts of Logansport.
"This bridge is braced across an
Island and is as near indestructible ac
a bridge can be made," said Mr. Lee.
"It is eighteen miles down stream
from Peru and has caught all the
debris from that town.
"I think we saw the remains of
more than 100 houses stacked up v
against this bridge, with the current
tugging and pulling at them. We
could make out thirty or forty dead
bodleB in the crushed lumber, and it
seemed as if some section of Peru
must have been overwhelmed sudden
ly and swept down stream to destruction."
Robber Prices of Boatmen.
Boatmen in Peru, Ind., recped fortunes
by carrying flood sufferers
from the danger zone at exorbitant
prices, according to M. 8. Scott, a
traveling salesman of New \vork, who
arrived from Peru with two other
traveling men.
"The condition at Peru," said Mr.
Scott, "cannot be told. I was at u
hotel across the street from the court ^
house and last night six onbles were
born to women who lay oh the bare
floor of the building. When we learned
of this we had thein rowed across the J
street and gave them our rooms. The J
boatmen charged $5 each to row three J
women across the street. We paid M
$15 to be hauled three miles, and m
were lucky to get off that cheaply." fl
