Richmond Headquarters in DAYTON

The Palladium has been so besieged with re-
quests from local people who seeking information
regarding friends and relatives in Dayton that spe-
cal representative has been to Dayton to try TO
locate as many Richmond and Wayne County people
as possible and report back by special telephone serv
ice which has been established by the Palladium be-
tween Richmond and Dayton. Arrangements have al
so been made for headquarters TO be opened at the
Third Precinct Police station in Dayton and every eff
fort will be made to get word TO all people in DAYTON
desiring TO send word back friends in Richmond or
WAYNE county. The Palladium cannot promise inn
mediate reports the but as fast as located
information will be given to friends and relatives in
this city.

IN CINCINNATI.

Word was received in Richmond to-
day that R. G. Leeds and wife and
Omar G. Murray and wife and daugh-
ter had arrived at Cincinnati and
We're located at the Sinton. They will
remain in Cincinnati until the danger
period has passed in the flooded dis
tricts.

DulIQlng. AILnOugn the water
did much damage at the Cash
Register plant the main build
ings are standing solidly and
they have been turned into a re-
lief station where hundreds are
now sheltered. With a light
beaming from every window the
Cash Register plant was most
welcome sight.
PATROLLED SHORE LINE.
Two members of the Ohio
National guard here patrolled
the shore line, and assisted flood
sufferers to land as a life saving
boat now and then made it's way
through the swift current and to
the bank. E. j. Anderson, su-
erintendent of construction of
the Richmond Home Telephone
company, who accompanied the
Palladium correspondent to Day.
ton, worked bravely through the
storm trying to establish COM
munication west from the city.
And all the while persons passed
carrying relief to the suffering.
Some went in automobiles, but
most of them were afoot. The
fire, what ordinarily would be an
all absorbing catastrophe, at
tracted no great attention; ev-
cry living person was apparently
bent on saving others from
drowning and of giving relief to
them when ashore.
Even those whose homes were
not ruined by the water or fire
suffered for drinking water,
light and fuel. The water sup
ply was cut off on account of the
power plant being flooded, the
power plant, supplying electric
light was likewise under water,
and it has been impossible to
furnish any gas to consumers
since Wednesday night. Dayton
residents use gas, both natural
and artificial, very largely for
heating, and almost exclusively
for cooking. The hardship work.
ed by the failure of the gas sup
ply can easily be imagined es-
pecially when those rescued from
the flood districts were so sore
ly in need of hot food and bever-
ages.
ESTIMATES ON DEATH TOLL
Estimates on the loss of life
place it all the way from 1000 to
5000, but as a matter of fact
there is no way to accurately
tell what the death toll will be.
1t will be week before the true
loss can be fixed. The first at
tention must be given to the liv-
ing. That the officials feel it
will be very large is shown by
the call sent out to all undertake
ers in surrounding towns.
The property loss will be mill
ions in Dayton alone. 1t is esti-
mated that fifteen thousand re-
sidences have been destroyed en-
tirely, while nearly all the build
ings in the flood district, which
was three-fourths of the city,
were seriously damaged. Those
who manned the rescue boats
said that the currents on all the
streets were swift, so there may
be hundreds of buildings under
to the point of unsafety.
The loss to the municipality for
river levee, bridge, sewer, street
and sidewalk improvements will
be enormous. An official of the
city government said that a mil
hon dollars worth of bonds will
be floated at once, the money to
be used for cleaning the city.
Then there is the enormous loss
to business interests. Not a
down town business house es-
capped. All suffered from the
water and many by fire. Build
ings did not burn singly, they
burned by blocks.
The net loss in Dayton viii be
greater than in many other cit

RICHMOND MEN RELATE
EXPERIENCES IN FLOOD CITY

Mayor w. w. Zimmerman, Lewis
Tiff and Clarence Jessup of this city,
went to Dayton yesterday in an auto
mobile and succeeded, after abandon
ing their machine on the Dayton View
bridge, in getting to the Algonquin ho-
tel, in the center of town, by rowboat
and by wading.
At Monument street and the Dayton
View bridge we got rowboat and row.
ed to Ludlow street" Jessup stated
last night. From Ludlow street we
waded to the Algonquin hotel and we
inquired of the manager of some Rich
mond people but they We're not reg
jstered. The water was too deep for
us to wade any further so we went
back to Ludlow street, where We had
left our boat, but it was not there and
had visions of being stranded there
for three or four days and there were
some men talking of the Lewistown
dam having broken, which did not
brighten us up any.
"A little later a canvas canoe with
three men in it came along and we
hailed them. Fortunately one of the
men in the boat was a travelling man,
acquainted with Mayor Zimmerman,
and he made room for us in the boat,
although / thought it would sink any
moment. When we finally landed at
the bridge we all shook hands with
ourselves"
WHAT THE MAYOR SAYS.
''The chief trouble at Dayton now is
the lack of organization in the relief
work which is being carried on" stat
ed Mayor Zimmerman on his return
from Dayton last evening. mo one
seems to have any say-so about any
thing. There are only a few boats
available for use and these are not be-
ing worked with any attempt at sys-
tenn. They come and go at will and
anyone uses them who wishes to.
There are few militiamen there, but
they are not doing much. Everyone
seems dazed. They seem to need
someone to take charge and direct the
work.
''On the west side of the river they
are MT suffering greatly except for lack
of light and drinking water They are
crying for drinking water and for can
dies, all of which have been used up.
Il procured a rowboat and went
across the river to the Algonquin
hotel. 1t is still standing There seem.
ed to be about three feet of water
around it.
Il attempted to get in touch with
the mayor of Dayton, but all attempts
to locate him were unavailing. l do
not know, but l think the people were
all taken from the Steele High School
building. l watched portions of its
walls crumble and fall. 1t cannot last
Ing.
Il saw no evidences of looting, but
heard that several had been shot.
There are only about one-half dozen
militiamen on the west side of the riv-
er. A block just south of the Beckel
house was burning when l was there
] did not see any other fires
McGUiRE's STATEMENT.
Charles Mcclure. who made the trip
to Dayton yesterday in an automobile
in company with Fred Gennett, return
ed with a graphic tale of the stricken
city. 1T would be impossible to exag-
gerate and description of the condi-
tions which exist in Dayton at pre-

DAYTON NE DIS FOOD
AND CLOTHING

DAYTON N f. f. ID ) FOOD
AND CLOTHING.
No newspaper report of the
situation there has exaggerated
Dayton's needs in this respect.
Dayton needs food and clothing
AT ONCE, and Richmond and
the surrounding country can do
more toward alleviating the suf-
fering in the stricken Ohio city,
less than fifty miles away, than
any other place. Railroad SER
vice has been established suffic-
emily to get food and raiment
through to the sufferers, and
the turnpikes are also passable
for automobiles and other vehic-
les. Each person should do his
part by subscribing money or
giving food and clothing. When
these commodities are delivered
into Dayton they will be given
to those absolutely deserving.
Adequate measures have been
taken for dispensing the food
and clothing after it arrives.
Dayton will care for its own if
given the material to do with.
But Dayton cannot originate
food nor clothing; it must de-
pend on the outside for this.
The Palladium's correspondent
does not desire to preach a ser
mon in this column, but he does
want to make the readers of this
paper know that they can now
do most for Dayton not by sighs
and sympathy but by contribut-
ing.
THURSDAY TURNING POINT
Thursday morning was the
turning point for better things
in Dayton. The sun broke
through the clouds and the wat
ers of Miami and Mad rivers and
Wolf creek dropped back into
their banks. The bridges across
these streams which for two
days had been impossible were
opened to automobiles carrying
relief into the down town flood
district, and hundreds of suffer-
ers who had been on roof tops,
in attics and other high places
were carried for the first time
since Tuesday morning to a
warm dry place and given a cup
of hot coffee.
Dayton welcomed Thursday
with a silent fervent prayer to
God. The. maddened elements
took their final fling at the dis
tressed city Wednesday night,
and it was horrible in the ex-
treme. Added to the desolation
of the flood were licking flames
of fire, a cold drenching rain
turning to snow and cutting
winds.
The Palladium correspondent
stood at the corner of River
street and Salem avenue, both
paved thoroughfares in aristo-
cratic West Dayton, at nine
o'clock Wednesday night. This
usually well ordered corner was
the shore line of the raging
water and looking toward the
heart of the business district
there was no land in sight. The
sky was red with flames burning
down town business buildings
and this light showed plainly the
outline of the Third street
bridge with its street cars filled
with hungry and cold passen-
gers. The only electric light to
be seen anywhere was that in
