GAINESVILLE in Appalling
Plight, Cries for Relief

GAINESVILLE, O, March % (by
long distance telephone to Pitts
burgh).--With the coming of dawn
today zanesville's 10000 inhabitants.
10000 of whom are homeless, saw the
first CLEAN of hope since the flood in
the Muskingum river swept through
the city three days ago
The river had commenced to recede,
soldiers-reinforcem for the Ma
tional Guard on duty in the streets
were entering the suburbs and pro-
visions had arrived to a point with
in four miles from the city. The sun
rose clear and bright and there were
indications that the bitter cold of the
last twenty-four hours was passing.
Conditions are still frightful. The
electric light and water companies
are out Of commission and will be for
days. One small gas line is serving
the city with a fitful supply of fuel
and there is little, If any, coal avail
able. Provisions are scarce and many
families in the flooded sections are
without food.
and the section known as Putnam,
where 1t is believed the loss of life
will be found to be greatest, is still
cut off and all public and private
business is at a standstill. Looting
has commenced, and the military has
been given orders to shoot down the
first thief caught at work.
Mayor John II. Schofield has re
ouested the Associated Press to send
broadcast the following appeal for
aid.
ITO the people of the United States:
The city of GAINESVILLE has been

visited by the worst disaster In Its
history. An appalling flood which
started last Tuesday and has been
raging ever since, has caused a loss,
it is believed. of over 300 lives. Over
500 houses have been swept away and
about 10000 persons are homeless.
One half of the city is inundated.
The property loss will amount u
more than $1o,00O,000
THE city is without water supply,
There is food supply enough to last
for forty-eight hours. The fuel sup
ply is limited. there being only one
gas main now in use There is no
coal nor wood now in the city. The
bakeries are out of commission. The
weather has changed to colder and
is causing great suffering and hard
ship among the homeless:
"A relief committee has been APP
pointed and is doing grand work, but
GAINESVILLE cannot take care of this
calamity alone. She must have as
sistanee from the outside world. Con
tributions of money and clothing are
seriously needed. Foodstuffs and pro
visions are earnestly requested,
practically two-thirds of the citys
residents will have to be provided
with food within the next two days.
All checks should be made payable
to the mayor. and all money contri-
buttons should be sent to him.
Food. provisions and clothing may
be shipped to Cambridge, O.. which
is the nearest point that can be
reached from GAINESVILLE
(Signed) JOHN II. SCHOFIELD,
Mayor of GAINESVILLE"

the woman adopted was as simple az
II was effective. She simply tele-
phoned to police headquarters that

hurried into the apartment house and
grabbed Charles f. Kirchner, Burns

Twenty-six bodies had been recoV-

the grewsome task confronting the
surviving citizens, and Mayor Karb

IF the death record does not exceed
four hundred the Mayor said, after
the first search for the dead had been
concluded, I'VE will be grateful. Al

FORT WAYNE. Ind. March 2s--
With the flood receding at the rate
Of three inches an hour. this city has
the situation in control and stands
ready to assist its less fortunate
neighbors. The property loss is es-

exceed six.
The pumping station was started
up last night. two locomotives fur

furnishing the power. The water is
being pumped from the river and the
only drinking water available is
brought in bottles.

business blocks have been demolished
and scattered bit by bit on the tor
rent-tossed flood
Among the identified dead recovered
were bodies of Henry Schalschneider
and his wife. Their three children are
known to have perished also. The
discovery of the parents bodies
brought the revelation that they
shortened their suffering as they were
being rushed to certain doom on the
roof of their home. Bullet holes in
their heads told the story of their end.
A body of a cripple which was re-
covered also had a bullet hole through
the head.
