Food Today.
(By Associated IPress. }


!, OMAHA. Mar. Us Shivering from
the cold. and awe inspired by the ma.
tnre of theft work, scores of men,
women and children this morning
struggled in the snow to rescue the
dead or injured bodies of relatives
and friends whom they believed 70
be buried in the wreckage of their
homes. which we're crunbled like
.egg shells by the Easter night lorna
do that swept with death over Ne
braska and Iowa killing more than
zoo persons in Omaha alone.
The snow storm, which is seri-
ously hampering the work of rescue.
began shortly after midnight and is
continuing with gathering force.
More than three inches of snow
covers the debris. Privations OF the
storm sufferers are thus being
greatly Increased. Women tuggins
at heavy beams, hoping against hope
to find the living bodies OF, dear ones
beneath the tons of wreckage; men
grufly cheering their sorrowful
mates ;shivering children wrapped
about with shawls were the. scenes
that greeted the federal soldiers at
daybreak as they patrolled the dis
trict aiding IN the rescue work and
protecting destroyed and unoccupied
houses from thieves.
city officials gathered within the
lines thrown by the soldiers and dis
trIbuted clothing and other necessi-
ties among the sufferers. More than
$4,000 has already been subscribed
for their relief. The injured at hos
pitfalls are receiving the best possl-
BILE attention.
Physicians have volunteered their
services and nurses have willingly
followed this example. Those
patients that have shown improve
ment today will be removed from
the temporary hospitals to places
provided for them by the city, W
most of them are homeless.
The snow, which according to re-
ports. is falling with blizzard like
proportions, from Colorado to cen
trail Iowa. is seriously interfering
with what slender threads Of tele-
graphic communications was estab-
lished yesterday with the outer
world.
Practically no information was
obtainable today from the devastated
sections of Nebraska and Iowa.
The fact that intense suffering is
being caused by the storm in spite
of the efforts being made by the
city to provide for and protect al.
vino have been made dependent upon
it, caused Governor Morenead to fear
that the conditions out in the state
are deplorable. He said this morn
ing that he would hasten action pc
fore the state legislature to secure
sufficient funds for the immediate
care of storm victims. A.
Sixteen additional bodies were
taken from the Tdlewilde, a negro
pool hall, this morning, making the
total thus far recovered from that
place thirty-one. The ruins of
buildings were burned.
