Ohio, April I.?"Dayton Is racing one of the gravest problems thai any city of the world over faced, and we want the world to know we need money and food for our strick en people," said .John H. Patterson, president of tin* relief committee, to? night alter he returned In company with H. F. Talbott, chief engineer, from a tour of the sections of Day ton swept by the Mood last Week. In speaking of a tentative plan to ask tin- Federal Government for a loan of from $ jo,ami,(inn to $ .|imio.i, ,000, to he used in reconstruction work. Ar. Patterson said: "At a meeting of hankers and offi :lals of the building associations this evening, it was decld? d to make un ippeal tor Federal aid. The banks and building associations have $60, 000,000 wauth of assets, which they will put up as collateral. It may be leerned advisable to ask the Govern? ment to give us some financial assist? ance. We fe.d that the disaster is an emergency which would justify extra ordinary action on the part of Con? gress." Since Sunday more than $750,000 in ash has been received from banks in Cincinnati to replace damaged money i.^ local banks', which will re? main clos.

Work of Recovering Bodies in Co? iiimhii.K Progresses slowly. v oiumbus, <>hio, April 1.?All that human effort . oubi accomplish today failed to p.-n.-trate the part of the de? bris piled in tin- west side, where it is believed many of the bo.li.-s of p. r sons missing since the Hood of March 25 finally will be recovered. As mat? ters stood tonight, however, eight more bodies had passed through the morgues, running the total of dead in that section up to 71. in addition to this number was the body of Janu s M. Kearney, a merchant, who was drow n? ed several months ago and which, cast Up by the Hood, was found lodged in a tic- when the waters had receded.. That many other bodies will be re? covered, after the army of men em? ployed in the work has attacked the great pile of debris made at several points by wrecked homes, is generally conceded. Just how many will not la' known for some days. The prop? erty damage in Columbus, like the death toll, is confined principally to the west side, tin- business and man? ufacturing district having gone al? most unscathed.
