PROBABLE THAT $50 WILL COVER
THE NUMBER WHO LOST LIVES
AT AUSTIN, PA.-PRoRLEMN NOW
is TO RECOVER THE DEAD AND
PREVENT AN EPIDEMIC AMONG
THE SURVIVORS OF THE RE-
CENT FLOOD.

Austin, Pa, Oct 2-Twenty-four
known to be dead. eighty-six missing
and believed to be buried beneath the
debries, is the official census tonight.
1t is conceded, however, that many
visitors were in town that day, and
undoubtedly perished Including them
and allowing for the inevitable errors
In complication, the total dead will
probably reach $50. Twenty-one of
the bodies recovered have been identi-
fed.
The problem tonight Is to recover
the dead from the thousands Of tons
Of debries choking the narrow valley.
To do so before 1t becomes necessary
to burn the ruins, and save the living
from an epidemic, an army of laborers
must reach here within thirty-six
hours, the officials say.
State Senator Baldwin lost his
father, mother, sister and other rela-
tives. The death list at Costello is
two. It is believed all others there
escaped. Food and clothing In car
load lots reached here today and is
being distributed.
Shortly after 1 o'clock today State
Commissioner Dixon issued an order
that nobody but officials. employees Of
the state health department, other
state officials and newspaper corre-
spondents be allowed in the flood zone.
This was done because news Of the
disaster had drawn thousands of per-
sons here from the north and south.
Few of the sightseers brought any
thing to eat, and they applied TO the
public commissary IN such numbers
that the flood victims were crowded
out, and but for the citizens COM
nnIttUe AA9 deserving would have 70
go hungry About the time the order
was issued a trainload of sightseers
arrived, but nobody was allowed TO go
near the ruins except relatives and
friends of citizens.
Oficials of the charity organizations
are arranging to care for the children
made orphans by the food. The first
actual steps towards an organized
movement to e1tricate the community
from its desolation and grief was ac-
complished today when DR.. Saml. c.
Dixon, state commissioner Of health,
called a meeting and appointed a COM
rnittee which Immediately began work
on a systematic basis An hour after
was hung and men were at work on
the main street Telegraph poles and
logs were torn from the ruins and laid
aside while laborers worked to clear
the Buffalo and Susquehanana tracks
through the valley to Costello. An
other hundred men started work at
Costello to meet the crew from here.
A hundred bridge men are construct
ing two bridges to replace the struc-
lures washed away. v
The bread line was formed for the
first time here today. The supplies
were placed in Odd Fellows hall and
guarded by the state constabulary as
handed out.
twenty-five coffins reached here to
day and hundred more are expected
tomorrow. Burial permits are issued

London, Oct. 2.-From present ap-
pearances the Turko- italian war
promises to be the shortest and most
bioodless war in history. Thus far its
distinguishing characteristic has been

not unlikely will be successfui II Tur-
key will accept a money indemnity Tor

Success of the italian blockade OF

 "But 1t is grossly improper to create a public opinion in favor of the ar rested men simply because the crime of which they are accused is one fo- mented against capitalist or cor poration and because the men who are charged with committing it are members of a labor union. This is an iniquity as gross as it would have been if, when three years ago. the sugar trust was indicted for swindling operations in the New York customs house, the forces of organized capital had been put behind the indicted men on the ground that the attack on cap- italists guilty of crime meant an at tack on all capital.
