UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 2S.-
Generally improved conditions char
acterized the entire flood situation in
the Ohio-Indiana district today.
Receding waters and cessation of
the torrential rains Of the past few
days made the work Of rescue and
reclamation possible. Where this
progresses great reductions in the
list OF casualties resulted.
Conservative estimates Of the total
number OF dead in Ohio place the
figure as low as 500 for the entire
state
Equally conservative figures obtain
ed at Indianapolis, place Indiana's
total death list as low as one hundred.
At both Columbus and Indianapolis,
however, these figures were regarded
as entirely too low by many OF those
engaged in the work OF rescue.
In practically all the stricken terri.
tories in both Ohio and Indiana, dan
ger Of actual suffering from want OF
food has been eliminated. The most
crying danger today is that resulting
from exposure of the floods victims
and the danger resulting from pestil,
ence in the larger cities.
Throughout both Ohio and Indiana,
cold, clear weather predominates. In
the northern and central portions Of
both states further danger from the
flood has passed, but the situation is
more critical on the southern boundary
line of both states, where the Ohio is
now raging torrent, sweeping en-
tirely wide of its usual bounds.
In Dayton the flood condition is
rapidly bettering and the work C.
rescue is being rapidly and system
atically carried out, under the guild
ance of the military and volunteer
forces. The great need there is for
clothing and blankets.
In Columbus where unauthorized
sources had issued hysterical state
ments of the fatalities, investigation
has shown greatly reduced figures.
The situation there under the person
al direction of,Governor Cox is rapid
Ily righting itself, though complete
commercial paralysis will of course
continue for many days.
Throughout the state railroad and
wire lines have been completely de-
moralized. Practically no trains are
moving save to carry supplies, and
rescue parties to the stricken district.
Practically no telegraph or telephone
lines are in operation save for the
transmission Of press dispatches, and
orders to rescue parties.
In Indiana very similar situation
prevails. indianapolis has suffered
less seriously than Columbus, and the
machinery of the state government
has been less impeded. AS result
, scarcely any of the stciken districts
are without aid today, and by night
fall it is figured every refugee will
have been housed and fed.

The governor wished to keep those
impelled to go there merely by cur
