Many pathetic and distressing scenes were witnesses in Dayton and other cities and towns in Indiana .and Ohio when they were overwhelmed with the angry waters the first of the week. Fire that destroyed many buildings in Dayton's submerged section cast a red, wierd glow over the flood stricken city that added to the fears of thourands of refugees and Marooned persons and led to apprehension that there may have been many of the water's prisoners in the burned buildings. Rescue squads worke.1 frantically to throw back the veil that hides the true story of the Dayton disaster? the number of dead. It was reported that a number of dead had been found in houses at 5th and Eagle streets, but when roscuers worked their way into the partially submerged dwellings they found a number of the flood's prisoners were weak from fright and hunger. Fire that appeared to threaten the K..n(m.nn nnnf inn u;au Of\tl HnoH frt f hft UUOI11UDO OUV/tiUii nao V/VZ m.a uuuu wv v^v block bounded by 2nd and 3rd streets and Jefferson and St. Clair streets. In the block are the Fourth National 'Bank, Evansville Wholesale Drug Company and several commission houses. It was impossible to get within two miles of the fire and from that distance what appeared to be explosions, probably of drugs, made the tire seem of larger proportions than it was. It was impossible to ascertain even approximately the number of persons who might have been marooned in this section and who died after being trapped by flood and fire. Nevertho less, rescue work went steadily on, and about 3,000 persons were housed in places of refuge. At least 65,000 persons are imprisoned in homes and in business buildings. It is feared their two days' imprisonment. with accompanying hunger and fright has caused tremendous suffer ing. Dayton was praotically cut off from wire communication until late Wednesday afternoon. Then two wires into Cincinnati were obtained and operators plunged into great piles of telegrams from Dayton citizens, almost fi^ntic in their desire to assure friends outside of their safety. Operators at opposite ends of the wires reported that thousands of telegrams were piled up at relay offices. These were from people anxious over the fate of Dayton kinsmen. Two oarsmen who braved the current that swirled through the business section of the city Wednesday reported that the water at the Algonquin Hotel, at the southwest corner of Third and Ludlow streets was fifteen feet deep. From windows in the hotels and business blocks, hundreds of the marooned begged pitily for rescue and food. The oarsmen said they saw no bodies floating on the flood tide, but declared that many persons must have perished in the water's sudden rush through the streets. Oarsmen who worked into the outskirts of the business section Wednesday night reported that 2 5 0 persons marooned in the Arcade building, and 2 00 imprisoned in the Y. M. C. A. building wore bogging for water. A shortage of provisions was threatened Wednesday afternoon when it was reported many relief trains, bound to Dayton from neighboring cities had been stopped by high water. Every grocer in the city had been "sold out" before noon. It was believed that the relief trains might creep in during the night. Encouragement was received Wednesday night in a message from the mayor of Springfield, who said he was sending six big trucks loaded wltli provisions tliat should reacn Dayton early Thursday. With the arrival of motor boats Wednesday night it was hoped to begin to distribute provisions among the marooned soon after daylight. Messages from the flood's prisoners in the business section, said children were crying for milk, while their elders suffered 1 from thirst that grew hourly. A phone message from a marooned man said the Deckel house is burn- ' Ing and Jefferson street is on fire on * its side from Third street as far down as the Western Union office. The | message said refugees, driven from the places where they had sought safety from the floods, were leaping from roof to roof to escape the new terror. The fire was rapidly approaching the Home telephone plant, 1 whence came this information. 1 The man said he had rigged up a telephone and got in on his V&ndalla 'drcnlt. He said the water was near the third floor of his building and < that he and about forty others were t marooned in the fourth story. The l Big sign of life, he said, was In the ] Jy^frsthrsn building, acroas.the f ' 'V*V - l/l TIME TO SWAT FLIES. Now Is the Time to Get Kid of the Dangerous Pest. The time to begin the fight on the files is not after they have taken possession of everything but at the time when they are breeding. Now is the time to remove the places where they 1 J M J ureeu. rui up yuur Bcreeii uuui# nuu windows so that they will have no opportunity to get in. It will be a whole lot easier to keep them from ever getting in than it will be to get them out once they have gotten in. The following aricle from The Knoxvilie Sentinel is timely advice: "Of course one should not weary of well doing, but after swatting flies and screening doors and windows, buying fly paper and getting it stuck on one's clothes and hair and carpets, it is a bit tiresome to have a swarm of flies come in every time the screen door is opened. The way to avoid this is for everybody to cut off the fly from food and lodging, to divorce him from 'bed and board. If he and his mate have nowhere to get a bite or raise their families, they will not be much of a problem. "Fly time has come again. The hardy annuals who survived the winter in a crack or 011 the cellar ceiling have stretched their limbs and reappeared in the kitchen. There are not many of them yet but quite enough to supply the neighborhood later on. There is no way to limit the numbers of a fly family except to limit the food they get to eat and the places (hey have set apart for them to breed in. A single pair can fill the world in a year. "The fly loves to breed in places that folk do not particularly like. Madame Fly selects with preference the uncovered garbage pail, the ru.bblsh heap, the stable refuse, the unscreened earth closet. Fermentation and solar heat relieve her of the responsibility of hatching the eggs and the food people, and filth that ought to be carried away quickly or at least kept screened and steralized, supply the nourishment the fly infants require until they can use their wings. They usually fly directly to the kitchen or dining room and carry with them particles of the unsavory bed they have grown up in and deposit it 011 table and kitchen ware, in the sugar, butter or cream, in the preserves, on the bread. "Swat the fly, of course; but that is the smallest part of the work. Do not let the fly breed and feed and persuade your neighbors to follow your example. You may save a life from extinction in typhoid, diptheria, infantile paralysis, tuberculosis, pellagra, or other dread scourges. In this food work you can even safely risk a rebuff." street where several men were marooned. The two parties were communicating by shouting across the city was burning and the barracks lying between the hospital and the northern forts was also in Ilames. The Bulgarians in strong force gradually advanced their lines encircling the city and by several ruches the infantrymen approached near enough to prepare for the final dash. On all sides the combined movement of the attackers on the ever-resisting city was continued. The entire line of fortresses defending the eastern side of the city was captured by the Bulgarians after a most spectacular assault at the point of bayonet by long lines of infantry, which were strengthened rapidly by the second of reserve lines. Thn onatnrn fnrta anon foil Into thflir hands and Bulgarian batteries were immediately placed in position to concentrate their fire on the other works. The way was thus cleared for a direct assault on the city itself. Shukri, the Turkish commanderin-chief of Adrianople, committed suicide after the capture of the city, according to a news agency dispatch from Sofia. He had made a most gallant defence of the post, but he could not face the humiliation of surrendering the city and his army to the Bulgarians, so he took his life. Adrianople, the former Turkish capital, withstood the siege of a great Bulgarian army for over five months, the first gun having been fired at the fortress October 5. Shukri Pasha, the commander-in-chief, had under him within the encircling forts what was considered the flower of the Turkish regular army. The main portion of the garrison consisted of * b ?r noma U'ltisvYt 1\ n /I lilt; IUUI III (II III/ v,ui fia, ii iiiv.ii miu added many regiments and batteries who had been drawn in before the advancing Riulgarian army. The fortifications which had been subjected to almost continuous bombardment by hundreds of field and siege guns for about 160 days were very strong. They consisted of 40 modern forts composing a semi-circle around the northern half of the city from east to west with minor works between. On the south of the city there was also a series of forts but much dependence was placed on the character of the ground there which was formed by treacherous marshes. The city contains about 80,000 inhabitants, half of whom are Turks &nd the others Armenians, Israelites md Greeks. ? ? President Wilson has made an excellent beginning. The administration machinery is working beautifuly, and the first month in the White House gives indication of a successful regime. JB I <* r. j QUICK TO RESCUE PRESIDENT WILSON GOES TO AID Of VICTIMS HRfiFS N ATI UN TD HFIP ? Food Sufficient to Feed 200,000 Persons Five Days Ordered Rushed to the Stricken District ?Also Tents, Blankets, Field Supplies and Medicines Are Started on Way. A dispatch from Washington says the principal function of the government of the United States Wednesday was to extend relief to the thousands of homeless survivors of the Ohio and Indiana Hoods. In quick succession every agency of the Government, from the President, the Secretary of War to every bureau chief in the department, under whom relief expeditions could be organized, moved swiftly to assist the State authorities in providing food, shelter and medical attention for the sufferers. All the troops of the department of the East were ordered to hold themselves in readiness for duty in the llood districts. One million rations, sufficient to feed 200,000 people for five days, at least, are being purchased by the war department at the nearest supply depots and hurried to the Ohio and Indiana towns. Tents to shelter at least 50,000 people, thousands of blankets, cots, hospital and field supplies, are being loaded in the Philadelphia, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Chicago, Fort Thomas, Ky., and nearby army posts, and within twenty-four hours should reach the devastated sections. Messages of sympathy exchanged by the President and the Governor of Ohio were followed quickly by a se ries of requests for help which were promptly answered by the Government departments. The President was in his office all day in close touch with the situation. He was in constant communication with Secretary Garrison, of the war department. He apprised Chairmen Martin, of the Senate, and Fitzgerald, of the House appropriations committees, that the Government was going ahead with emergency expenditures on the assumption that Congress would back up the Administration later on. They both wired promises of hearty support, and orders went out on every side for a gigantic work of relief. The President called upon the people of the nation to contribute money liberally to the American Red Cross, which in turn appealed to the Governors of the States to help gather relief funds. Majors James Normoyle and James A. Loean Jr.. experienced in fiehtina the Mississippi Valley floods, were ordered by Quartermaster General Aleshire to Columbus, Ohio, to take charge of distributing food supplies for the Federal Government. Major P. C. Fauntleroy was sent immediately to Columbus to handle the medical supplies. Nine medical ofllcers and fifty-four of the hospital corps went from the department of the East, carrying a big supply of surgical dressings, anti-typhoid prophylactics and the complete "reserve medical supply", comprising hundreds of drugs sufficient to treat 20,000 patients for one month. Precautions against the spread of disease are to be handled by sanitation experts. Miss Mabel Roardman, of the American Red Cross, was active at the headquarters, telegraphing orders to nurses at Cleveland and Cincinnati and calling upon other nearby chapters for physicians and nurses. Life-saving crews were ordered from Louisville to Dayton, and from Lorraine, Ohio, to Delaware, Ohio, and the public health service distributed its agents over the afflicted districts. Postmaster General Burleson di rected the department's representatives to make every possible effort to stall temporary mail service and restore the main routes between tho East and West as rapidly as possible. Only the railroad routes close to .l?ake Erie have been getting the mails through from tho West, and there has been practically no long service in tho territory bounding Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and the Ohio River. All lines south of the Ohio are reported open. ? Express Company to Help. Announcement was made from the Charleston oflice of the Southern Express Company Thursday night that the company would carry free contributions of money and shipments of supplies not exceeding 100 pounds in weight for the flood sufferers in the West. All such ocntributions must be Addressed to the municipal authorities or relief committees of the towns to which they are sent. ? ? Suffering From Cold IVeather. At Hamilton, Ohio, the loss is estimated at 250. The loss from flood and Are is two and a half million, freezing weather and lack of food is causing great suffering. The waters are receding and relief trains are bringing aid. ?. ? * J c.;?. ...r .?I4 ' ,. J?

Many estimate that the damage to property is the greatest since Galveston, Texas, was Hi 11.. n..F?n? tha man flnt hftr* int:ru.ll/ OWOJft uii luu 1UU!/. ?? ing darkness Thursday night brought no relief to the scores of cities and towns of the State that are inundated and cut off from the outside world, but instead cast a gloom over the rushing waters, practically thwarted rescue work and increased the horrors of the situation. Thousands of persons are imprisoned by the swoollen waters. Although the waters In some places are reported to be slowly receding there was no immediate relief in sight Thursday night, while rain continued to descend at times in torrents. So appalling and seemingly exaggerated were many of the reports from flooded cities and towns Thursday that they were disputed, and in many instances wholly disregarded. Later reports from these same sections, however, many times confirmed what seemed to be wild rumors. In other cases reports proved not to be correct. The various news agencies are working under great difficulties in securing accurate reports because of crippled wire facilities. Many cities and towns are completely Isolated and only rumors can be obtained. These can not be verified until wire and transportation service is restored. Although reports of distress and disaster are coming in from every section, the greatest damage and loss of life apparently is at Dayton. Conditions there beggar description. While the business section is practically under water and the estimated loss of life is appalling, fires are adding to the terror. jk The lurid lights from burning AJA buildings are adding horrors to the stricken city. Loss of life is estimated at from hundreds to thousands. Handicapped efforts at rescue work Thursday failed to clarify the puzzling situation regarding loss of life in Columbus. Many who are considered conservative place the less there from iuu to jou. r rora cuaney comes the report that from VOO to 500 have been drowned. G%Y^k Cox said he had information tha*. " there was no loss of life in Sidney. * Reports from the southern part of the state indicate that the situation there is serious and may result in a heavy death toll. Zanesville, on the swollen Muskingum river, according to reports Thursday night, was largely under water and several buildings are reported to have collapsed. Wire communication was cut off early Thursday night when the Western Union Telegraph office was flooded. The operator's last words were that the town was under water and that a building near the telegraph office had fallen. So runs the news from all parts of Ohio. I Shoots Cattle During Night. "Caw Caw," writing to The Calhoun Advance says: "Some weeks ago Mr. Henry Rickenbaker'e cattle were shot during the night. Among them was a cow with a very young calf was killed. Will no arrest be made in this matter? It would pay the community to hire a detective. There is a law for taking up cattle and a law for damages. A man who will go out into the darkness and kill a neighbor's cattle will go out into the darkness and kill the owner of the cattle if he takes spite against him. The principal is the same, takes a bad heart to kill an innocent cow with a new-born calf. Such conduct should be handled and given to understand that there is some law in this country." House Full of Bodies. Twelve bodies were recovered in>a* single house in the southern part of Peru, Ind., Thursday afternoon.
