All Barred From Dayton
Unless Business Is Vital

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 2s.-The state
of Ohio will not commander any OF the
railroad lines. as was announced last
night would be done with view to es-
tabIish!ng more direct lines into Dayton
for troops and flood relief trains. The
military authorities. upon the order OF
Gov Cox. will exercise a censorship over
persons attempting to go to Dayton or
other cities in food districts.
This will be announced at the execu-
tive offlce this morning. Gov. Cox gave
out q statement saying that the railroads
are using all Of their energies in giving
first aid to the stricken districts. and that
he saw no reason for taking over the
operation Of any Of the lines and placing
them in charge of the National Guard.
Amy persons attempting to go to Day
ton without q legitimate excuse will be
arrested and put In jail" the governor
added I'VE are determined that the rail-
roads shall not be burdened with carrying
persons who want to go there merely out
Of morbid curiosity. and the military arm
of the state will be used in this respect"

the actual meeting OF fresh emergencies
| as they arise. Although very few re-
ports were received at the War Depart
ment today from it's various agents In
the field. the officials are satisfied that
everything IL going forward an rapidly
! as the difficulties will permit.
Gen. Oliver is OF opinion that one OF
| is to give shelter and medical attention
to the sick and homeless. There Is an
abundance Of food in the immediate
neighborhood Of the flooded districts. and
there need not be. he thinks. apprehen-
sion on that score. in view OF the action
of the federal and state governments and
charitable organizations and individuals
to meet immediate needs in that respect
Although realizing that the railroad com.
panies are doing the best they can In
the matter, the officials regret exceeding
~ that the big trainload of tents. cots
blankets, ETC., sent out promptly from
Philadelphia has not yet proceeded nearer
the scene OF the disaster than Pittsburgh
flood sufferers. and renewed efforts will
be made to forward them to their desti-
nation.
It is suggested that it the railroad
service west from Pittsburgh cannot be
utilized that the tents and other equip
ment be transferred to steamers on the
Ohio with view to getting them through
in that way.
Meanwhile the officials at Warrington
are awaiting reports from the flood region
before taking further action. Owing to
reported improved conditions, 1t 10 said
at the department that there seems to be
no call for the use OF regular troops In
the folded sections, especially as reports
show that the state troops have the situa-
ton well In hand.
Germany Expresses Sorrow.
The German ambassador. Count vor
Bernstorff. called at the State Depart
ment today, and expressed the sympathy
| of the German government in the flood
disaster which has swept over the coun-
| try.
Later In the day the ambassador called
upon President Wilson at the White
House, by direction of Emperor William
to convey the personal expressions OF
regret Of that sovereign to the American
executive.

nations of the accused negro, and gave
il wBs their confident opinion that the
maniac was not capable of distiB-
gushing right from wrong.

with arms strapp' d, as a precagtlan
7 -sainst any possible attempt at. yio-
lent action on his part. Throughout
the trial he sat in n chair near the

lattJ negro, with a slight growth OF
