ON DUTY 3e HOURS.
Telephone Wire Chiefs Keep Dayton ic
 Touch With the World.

Chicago, March 26.-Two employees of the American Telephone and Tels- graph company, M. D. Stohl, wire chief at Dayton. and C. D. Williamson, wire chief at Phoneton. O.. by almost un precedented devotion to duty, have kept Dayton in touch with the outside , world
 At noon today they had been on duty continuously for 36 hours. and al being relieved, they gave not the slightest indication of an inclination tc leave their posts.
 Mr. StohI reached the Dayton office just before the flood broke in the sns Il hours of Tuesday morning. The wate,' came with such suddenness that all batteries and power were put out of commission before any measures could be taken to protect them This left the wires without current and effectu- ally cut off Dayton. Stohl rummaged set" With this he made his way to the roof of the building, "cut in'' n the line to Phoneton and reported to Williamson, whose batteries were stiIi in condition. Over this meager equip ment messages were exchanged by means of the underground wires Of the company, which held up until after the noon hour Tuesday. when the cable in which they were encased gave way. The break, however, was south of Day. ton, and Phoneton was still in touch except for brief intervals Stoh1 has re- mained on the roof of the building, suffering the discomforts of pouring rain and low temperature, in order that the waiting world might have some sword from Dayton.

MANY CoFFlNs ORDERED.
Secretary of Dayton Board of Health Believes Deaths Will Total 800.

Dayton. O., March 2s.-How great death toll the deluge of Dayton had taken seemed tonight almost much a matter of conjecture as yesterday. but, acting on stories brought by sur vivors from the stricken districts. it was said, the emergency committee had ordered a large number of collins for immediate delivery.
 The Great Miami river. swollen to width heretofore unknown and running with q terrific current, barred the way t6 specific information of the number of dead. While thousands of persons still were marooned in houses and on opportune roofs in the central portion of the town. only a. few eorpses had been recovered. and it was believed that in the northern section of the submerged city, to which rescuing par ties had been unable to penetrate, would be found the greatest life loss. At o'clock this evening J. H. A1fllers. secretary of the board of health, estt- mated that the death list would reach 800.
 While the feed steadily reeeded this afternoon, the terrific current retarded rescue work. and a cold. sInarting rain

added to discomforts of the already i overburdened storm victims. Expert l oarsmen who braVed the tide in the i business section of the submerged city i this afternoon came back nerve-racked 1 to relate narratives of pitiable appeals made by hundreds marooned in upper 1 floors of tall buildings about whose l lower stories swirled a flood that 1 threatened the foundations. The dark 1 co1ors in the narratives were frightened i here and there by stories of bravery l exhibited by many of the flood pris- 1 oners.
 4 woman with three children ma rooned in the upper floor of her home
 on the edge of the business district called to the -oarsmen:
 "Oh, know you can't take me off, "
 she cried, but for the love of human ity please take this loaf of bread and jug of molasseS to Sarah Pruyn down the street. I know she's starving Twice the boatmen attempted to take the food. but waves that eddied about the submerged house heaved then back.
 Further on, in the exclusive resi-
 dence district, they were offered fabu- lous sums for rescue by many of the foods prisoners. Their narrative in spired an effort late this afternoon t. launch boat for navigation on the vast river, but un to late hour the craft had been unable to pass beyond areas already reached on the fringe of the flooded district.
 Rescue work efficiently managed, in which John Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company, was a leading spirit. pEoceeded smoothly throughout the day. Missing members of families were restored to their rel atives through human clearing houses established at several points on the edge of the flood district.
 Great 1edgers filled with names pre- sided over by volunteer bank clerks were at the disposal of persons seeking missing kinsmen. If these had regis tered in the clearing house, their ad- dresses were quickly given to the in- quirers.
 Up to T o'clock this evening 5000 of the homeless were housed in differ ent places of refuge. most of them be- ing cared for at the plant of the Ma tional Cash Register company. Scores of the waters victims were being car ried from their places of imprisonment late this evening and leaders of tie rescuing parties were arranging for relays of torch bearers to light the work during the night

BABY BORN IN BOAT.
Three Others Born in a Church at
 Dayton Yesterday.

New York, March 26.-From as close to the stricken districts of Dayton as telephone wires could be operated to- night such news of conditions in the city and suburbs as could be gathered was transmitted to the American lei ephone and Telegraph conpany's sta tion at Phoneton, six miles north. From that point the messages received were forwarded in substance to this city and given out at the cOmpanys offices here.
 A summary of conditions in Dayton as reported over the telephone fine to Phoneton early in the evening 1nclud- ed the following:
 Three babies were born in one church this afternoon. One was born in a boat while it's mother was being con- veyed to safety. The rain was pour ing in torrents at the time and the mother had been for six hours or more without necessary aid. Such scenes are common.
 There is a school building said to contain six hundred persons and ind1- cations were that it would collapse in a short time. Two men seen using g. pleasure boat to view the scene had to be pressed into rescue service by the police at the points of shotguns.
 The National Cash Register company has bands at work making boats and coffins and has ordered 500 collins from Cincinnati. The beautiful steel high school building is a wreck

MRS EAToN's MOTHER
 TO TESTIFY TODAY Action of Grand Jury in the Case May Be Made Known Today.

Plymouth, Mass, March 26.-The fate of Mrs. Jennie May Eaton so far as the responsibility rests with the grand jury will be made known prob ably tomorrow
 This was the opinion expressed by District Attorney Barker at the close late this afternoon of the third day of inquiry into the circumstances of the death of Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eaton of whose death by poisoning the widow is accused.
 MT. Barker said that one or two wit nesses would be called in the morning. One of these it is understood will be Mrs. Eaton's eighty year old mother Mrs. George B. Harrison.
 Mrs. Harrison's testimony is con- sidered important. She already has described events on the night of the admiraPs sudden death. She said that she and Mrs. Eaton were awakened by groans from an adjoining room oc- cupied by the naval officer.
 Mrs. Eaton rose flom her bed and went to her husband. Later she told her mother that she laid down by the side of her husband and that his pains passing, both she and the admiral fell asleep. Later she was awakened by the touch of a c1ammy hand and ex- anlining her husband discovered that he was dead.

5000 PROBABLY PERIsHED.
This Number More Likely to Be ln- creased Than Decreased-Estimate ates of Damage in Ohio and Indiana Now Placed at $1C0, ,0o0, 900 - Railroads Alone Suffer Loss of $25, ,O0o, 900.

Chicago, March 2s.-Three thousand may have perished in the de1uge- swept northern half of the Ohio River valley yesterday and today. Probai1i 7 half a million people were made home less by the flood in Indiana and Ohio, end property damage in both states will be at least $100, 900.
 These figures were compiled this af- ternoon from reports received from various points in the stricken district. Further reports may increase the num- Der of dead, and it is unlikely that any decrease in financial loss will be made.
 An additional horror was reported early this evening from Dayton Fire there, which seemed widespread and probably uncomfortable, in view of the paralysis of the water plant probably brought a horrible death to many who sought to escape drowning by clinbirg g to upper floors of buildings.
 Following are revised figures of the dead:
