Cleveland, March 3.-At least 1000
persons are now homeless in Ohio as
result Of the flood which continues
to devastate the state. Numerous
plants have been forced to close down
and hundreds are out of work. The
material damage is estimated at over
81, 100000.
The Licking and Musl1ingum rivers
at GAINESVILLE are still rising. The wa.
ter works plant may be forced to close
and this will mean the shutting down
of all the large commercial plants
there. Over 900 persons are now be.

big steel works at Youngstown are
still running and these are expected
to suspend.

ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION IN.
coRPoRATED BY BILL IN
SENATE.
ITO ADVANCE U. S. CIVILIZATION"
Masnats's PhiIanthropies to be on
Very Great soaIe.-PIan SINH.
lar to carnegie's, But Much
Wider In Scope.

Washington, March 3.-The Rookie.
Teller Foundation is Incorporated by q
bill introduced in the senate. It ia un-
derstood that the purpose is to provide
method for John d. Rockefeller to
dispose of his enormous wealth in a
manner beneficial to mankind.
Senator Gallinger said:
II am not authorized to speak for
Rockefeller, but there is no doubt that
he intends to give away his money on
scale greater than any other living
man. I am not acquainted with all of
the details Of Rockefeller's plan, but
it is expected that Washington will be
made the headquarters"
The scope of the foundation is very
broad although embraced in a very
short section of the bill. This section
reads:
THAT the object of the said corpora
ton shall be the promotion of the we'll
being and to advance the civilization
Of the peoples Of the United States and
its territories and possessions and of
foreign lands in the acquisition and
dissemination Of knowledge; in the
prevention and relief of suffering and
in the promotion of any and all of the
elements of the human progress"
While drawn generally along the
lines Of the act incorporating the Car
negie foundation it goes much farther,
since the Carnegie foundation is de-
signed chiefly to provide for a scien-
tific retirement and pensioning Of gu
perannuated teachers. ...
Augusta, Ca. March 3.-John D.
Rockefeller was shown the Associated
Press dispatch regarding the bill in.
troduced by Senator Gallinger. He
smiled and said: "Just at this time I
do not care to have anything to say.
I'll wait and see what they are going
to do up there. However, you must
rest assured it isn't anything that'll do
harm to anybody"

Of arbitration. After a special meet

Declaring that 1t would be better for
the members of the ministerial asso-
Citations to preach order and peace to
their parishioners, rather than adopt
resolutions favoring arbitration, May

the Rapid Transit company and the
striking men to outside parties.

It is reiterated by the company's

Both the labor leaders and the city
administration are preparing their
lines for the expected sympathetic

The officials of the Great Northern

few of the missing will be recovered
alive.
Forty hours have passed since the
thunders of the high Cascades wrote
new story of the danger of winter
travelling through the winding noun
tain passes. In that time no detailed
account has been received of what
happened when the Spokane express
was taken from it's shelter at the gate
way of the Cascade tunnel and buried
at the bottom of the canyon.
The only stories of the disaster have
come from those who have climbed
over the mountain trails. Several men,
on leaving the sights of horror at Well
fngton and arrived at Scenic, the near
est relief station, were unable to de-
scribe what they had seen. The perils
of their descent of the mountain and
the cries of the wounded in the wreck
age below the track, had made them
hysterical.
TO add to the difficulties of the stu.
alton the only telegraph wires into
Scenic from the west are down again.
Rescue parties are working desper-
ately to save at least a few Of the pas
sengers in the buried coaches.
The day coach and smoker have not
been found. They were smashed as
completely as though tons of iron had
fallen upon them.

A few facts have been learned of
the dead and missing passengers. Mrs.

missing, was on her way to celebrate
her golden wedding.
1t is stated that the train was not
kept in the tunnel, where it would
have escaped the slide, as passengers
feared they would be blockaded and
suffocated there.
