OHIO GOVERNOR
THANKS PEOPLE OF
COUNTRY FOR AID
Relief Situation Is in Hand,
Ohio Is Thankful to
Friends Who Sue
c0red Her

Columbus, O.. March 3i.-"Refreshed
by the tears of the American people
Ohio stands ready from today to meet
the crisis alone,
Such was the statement issued by
Governor Cox early this evening, short
ly before he left the executive offices
for home, and the first full nights rest
he has had in more than a week
"Ohio has risen from the floods.
Such pitiless blow from nature as
we sustained would have wiped out
and destroyed governments in other
days We cannot speak our gratitude
to President Wilson for federal aid, 10

tiles, trade organizations and indi-
viduals that sent funds and supplies
They will never know their contribu-
ton to humanity.
THE relief situation so far as food
and clothing are concerned is in hand
Thankful to her friends who succored
her. Ohio now faces brighter days.
Waters Receding
AS the flood waters of Ohio con-
tinued to recede and while property
owners were just beginning the clean
ing out and rebuilding of their wrecked
homes, Governor Cox and members of
the Legislature began an outline of re-
constructive legislation which will be
followed in all of the flood districts
by the state.
1t practically was decided that the
San Francisco relief plan will be PLACED
in effect in Ohio flood sufferers. Tn
der this plan the relief would be based
upon property loss of the individual
income loss incurred. The amount of
relief each person would receive would
be prorated on such a basis.
During the day Lindley NJ. Garrison,
Secretary of War, and Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood chief of staff of the United
States army, called on the governor
and went over the situation with him.
Legislature Recesses
Upon recommendation of Governor
Cox the Legislature recessed until next
Monday, thereby giving state officials
a week in which to learn the most ur-
gent needs of the various stricken
communities and some estimate of the
amount of money needed to replace
damaged property.
A joint legislative committee, COM
posed of members of both houses was
appointed by the presiding officers to
assist the governor and other state Of
ficials in framing suitable legislation.
Resolutions warmly thanking the
citizens of New York state and Penn
sylvania for their flood contributions
were introduced.
That temporary improvem made
necessary by the floods. may be made
at once. Representative Snyder of
Piqua offered a bill which would al

councils and township trustees to is

the second story window Of a house in
Linwood street. who insisted in bringing
with her snow shovel. Clutching the
shovel to her breast she sat in the stern
sheets OF Stones boat alternately singing

attempting to round a street corner where
a torrent poured in from a cross street

Thrilling Adventures

With the rapid subsidence OF flood
waters and dssipating of panic among
refugees, thrilling adventures continue
coming to light. Among the most in
teresting of these was the experience OF
the family of Charles M. Adams, River
dale. When the flood first rushed through
that section OF the city Mr. Adams got
his wife and 10 months old twin girls into
q skiff and took them to the home OF a
friend in Warder street Again it was
necessary to move and the family was
taken by rescuers out of a second-story.
They were dashed against telegraph
pole later in their boat and capsized.
Adams swan several minutes before he
was picked up. Just before he was res
oued he saw his wife sink for the third
time. The baby girls were floating down
the street. Then he collapsed.
Three hours later he regained conscious
ness to find himself in an attic. Beside
him on the floor lay his wife, whom he
believed to have been drowned A few
minutes later a man crawled into the at
tic window from. the floating roof of a
barn bringing with him the twins. They
had caught in the branches of tree and
were picked off unhurt.

Patterson Issues Statement

Jonn IL. Patterson, CHAIRMAN Oh tne cltl-
zens' relief committee, today issued this
statement regarding conditions here:
"Oar committee has now at its disposal
ell the food and clothes necessary to
meet the loss of the sufferers of Dayton.
Money, however, urgently is required
for putting our city in condition to pre-
vent the outbreak of serious disease and
to rehabilitate the thousands, many of
whom have lost their homes entirely and
all of whom have lost their household and
personal effects.
"The committee wishes to send out an
argent appeal to the citizens of the United
States for the necessary funds. All con-
tributions should be sent direct to w. +.
Bippus, who has been appointed the treas
urer of the relief committee Mr. Bippus
will send receipts for all moneys re-
ceived.'
A meeting of the members of the relief
committee with members of the city coun-
Gil was called for this afternoon. On
Saturday the council discussed a request
from the relief committee that 100000 be
diverted from the sinking fund of the
city to the relief fund. Councilmen Harry
Klein and Gus Happel protested vigor-
ously and made numerous remarks derog-
atory to the relief committee and its mo-
tives, accusing members of the latter
among other things of trying to steal the
city government Under the present
reign of martial law modified into a
sort of commission government the city
administration is without authority and
there is well defined movement on foot
to remain "the commission" form of gov
ernment until the city has recovered from
the flood Today's meeting was called
in the interests of harmony. In the bread
line today was Eugene j. Barney, a multi
millionaire, whose gifts to charity have
been very large and recently included
$4,000 to the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation of this city. He obtained three
loaves of bread and small sack of pota-
