of the thousands of people who have
been marooned in the downtown sec
ton of flooded Dayton since Tuesday
morning are safe. This was the news
brought out by an Associated Press
staff man, the first to succeed in the
perilous task of penetrating as far
north as the Big Miami river.
There was food for the towns
breakfast and dinner left after six
o'clock at night, and it was believed
the many trains of food and provis-
ions on the way would reach the next
day
The fire is out.
The water is receding rapidly. An
occasional snow furry and biting
gusts of wind added to the discom-
fort of the rescue crews, but they re-
NAMED steadily at work.
Chief of Police Allaback, himself
marooned, who has been directing the
rescue work, gave the first informa-
tion as to the situation in what has
heretofore been the waterbound dis

Except for possible loss of life on
the north side of the river, there will
not be more than 200 dead in Day

as to the situation on the south side.
The worst condition found near the
center of the flood was in the work.

had a drop of water or a bit of food
since Tuesday. The men revolted
Tuesday night and demanded their
liberty and chance to fight for their
lives. Since then the workhouse has
been a Ihadhouse, according to Su-
perintendent Johnson. The prisoners
repeatedly fought with Johnson and
threatened to kill both him and his
family.
Johnson asked that a detachment
of the national guard be assigned to
help him handle. the men. He de-
clared that the men would have to
be shot if they escaped from their
cells.
Dayton, Ohio.-Dayton, except for
it's most remote suburbs, is covered
with seething flood of water from
eight to twenty feet deep.
The property loss will total millions
of dollars.
The flooded districts comprise a
practical circle with a radius of a
mile and half and in no place is
the water less than six feet deep.
In Main street, in the downtown
section, the water is twenty feet deer.
The horror of the flooded district
is heightened by more than a dozen
fires which can be seen in the flooded
district, but out of reach of freight

Most of the business houses and
nearly all of the residences have oc-

Downtown the offices are filled with

GALS FOR ACTION.

The grand jury reported Tuesday
afternoon returning several indict-
ments over to the court. In this re-
port there was an Indictment against
Will Liggett. who in the forenoon
had agreed to take a workhouse SEN
tence on charge of house breaking
and larceny. This is perhaps the
first case on record in the county
where the sentence was determined
before the indictment was returned.
Horace and Evan Roberts, who
were held under the orders of the
coroner as possibly implicated in the
death of Charlie Pillow at the Har-
Ian mines, were not indicted, the bill
of indictment being returned mark
ed no true bill.
There is much work almost ready
to be reported to the jury. the evil
dence being a matter of record on
the minutes. The Attorney General
has been very busy, during the past
two weeks in the murder cases on
trial, and has not drawn the indict-
ments These will be attended to be.

that he would kill defendant before

not strike Davis with the cue, but had
the same snatched from his hand as
he went to the street, when he called
for the police. Contradicted Ben Laz-
arus and Otey Johnson in their state
ment that Mcdonald was seen asleep
or drunk with his head on the coun-
ter; said Mcdonald was never in that
position. Defendant also contradict
ed Ben Davis with regard to having
struck him with a billiard cue and
made threats. He also stated that
Will Davis was not an associate of
his; that he had never had any such
conversation as the witness had de,
tailed on the witness stand in the
forenoon, and that he made no threat
on Mcdonald in Davis presence.
There was much testimony regard

city brought out in the examinations
The testimony was closed at the
hour of adjournment and an agree.
ment was reached by the attorneys
in the case that each side would have
three hours for argument.

APPEAL Of
MANAGERS
Figures Prove Change in Senti.
ment is Against Saloon,
Declares AupperIe.

IF THE advocates of a dry Grand
junction will register and cast
= their votes at the polls November
4, the liquor business will never
show its face in this city again. This
was the declaration of D. w. Aupper-
lie. campaign manager for the prohi-
bitionists last night at the close of
the Cross lecture. He asserted that
the preliminary canvass in the hands
OF the leaders showed that the change
OF sentiment had largely been in fav-
or of keeping the saloons out and
that 1t only remained for the dry peo-
pie to cast their votes.
Unless you have your name on
the poll books by five o'clock Friday
afternoon you cannot vote" said Mr..
Aupperle. "and all the dry sentiment
in the world won't take the place of
your ballot. You must register and
do 1t now"
1t was announced that autos and
carriages would be provided to take
people to the city hall for registra-
tion wherever necessary. The names
of all unregistered voters are filed at
dry headquarters and are checked oy-
er every day.
Mr.. Aupperle voiced a stirring ap-
peal for all voters to register and to
vote on November A.

Mrs. Billings
Met Militant
-Four Yrs. ago

Mrs. j. E. Billings, while at
tending Goucher college at Balti-
more, heard Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst deliver suffrage ad-
dress in 1909 during the lady's
first visit to this country. She
also had long conversation with
the woman who is now leading
the rioting in behalf of suffrage
in England.
You women of America, and
particularly of Colorado, ought to
be thankful" said Mrs. Pank-
hurst to Mrs. Billings. You
haven't the same sort of men to
deal with that we have in Eng
land. Your men are willing to
give justice to womankind while
our Britons have to be shocked
into their senses"
Mrs. Pankhurst was very
pleasing in appearance and ad-
dress at that time, according to
Mrs. Billings, and was really
quite able to Justify the acts of
her sisters in England. At that
time, however, the militant cam
paign had not reached such a
stage of lawlessness as has char
acterized it during the last two
years.
In Goucher college, Mrs. Bill
ings. then Miss De Long, was
known as a strong advocate of
woman's rights and probably the
best informed woman suffragist
in the school.
Mrs. Billings added that she
was opposed to the deportation of
Mrs. Pankhurst. Il understand
that the theory is that II she has
been guilty of crimes in England
she may repeat them over here.
Certainly that does not apply to
Mrs. Pankhurst, and ] cannot see
that the authorities are justified
in excluding her."
