SAVED HER BABY SISTER.
Then Led Horribly Burned Mother
to Neighbor's for Aid.

Spartanburg, March 24.-From
near Campobello there came tonight
a story of the rare presence of mind
shown by a three-year-old girl, the
daughter of Mrs. Samuel Petty, when
her mother, holding a nine-months-
old baby in her arms, fell into an
open fireplace. AS Mrs. Petty was
nursing the baby she was overcome
with vertigo and pitched forward
The little girl, the only other occu-
pant of the house at that time, hur-
riedly caught the baby, who was not
severely burned. Mrs. Petty's head
hit an iron. When she recovered con-
sciousness both her eyes were burned
out and one side of her, face fairly
cooked.
Carrying the baby in one arm, the
little girl with her other hand led
her blind and staggering mother to
the home of the nearest neighbor
who lived about a quarter of mile
distant. Little hope is entertained
for Mrs. Petty's recovery.

GREAT FLOOD IN THE WEST
RUSHING WATERS DO DAMAGE
IN FOUR STATES.
Thousands of Lives Lost and Millions
of Dollars Worth of Property
Destroyed.

Chicago, March 25.-Floods almost
unprecedented in area, following the
tornados and rains Of the last three
days, today swept four States of the
Mississippi Valley, causing loss OF
life that may reach into the hundreds
and damage to property amounting to
many millions of dollars. Ohio and
Indiana, and in a lesser degree I'LL
nois and Missouri, felt the brunt OF
the disaster.
At Dayton more than sixty persons
are reported drowned, following the
breaking of the Miami River levee
and the Laramie reservoir, fifty miles
above the city. When the Associated
Press correspondents wired on reach
ing the city, anxiety caused by exag-
gerated reports Of loss of life was set
at rest, although there was great
difficulty in obtaining details.
Marooned in office buildings in the
centre of the town, hundreds of per-
sons were vainly awaiting rescue
Streets heretofore considered miles
from the danger line, are running 8
feet of water, the torrential force OF
which precludes rescue in boats.
Millions of dollars in property
damage has already been incurred
and the food is still on the increase
From Indianapolis came reports OF
100000 homeless throughout Indiana
and proerty loss reaching the
enormous figure of S20,O00,0OO in
cities, towns and villages alone. This
does not include the losses to farm
ers. The loss of life, while not Sc
great as in Ohio, has not yet been
estimated.
The climax Of the flood in Ohio
was reached at Dayton, where tonight
it was reported that the water is
from 20 to 40 feet deep in many
streets; that bodies were floating
past the windows of Office buildings
and that the catastrophe assumed
proportions Of tidal wave.

lv to-day to various members OF the
Supreme Court of the United States
bv attorneys for Claude Swanson AL
len, for "a writ of error" to review
his conviction for participating in the
Hillsville, Va, Court House shoot

has been twice placed in jeopardy
for the same offense in violation of
the Federal Constitution.
Chief Justice White, presiding JUS
tice for the 4th circuit, to which Vlr-
ginia is assigned, first declined to is
sue the writ. This was determln-
alton on his part that no reasonable
claim to federal right was involved
in the case. The Chief Justice ex-
pressed himself as perfectly willing
that the attorneys apply to other JUS
tees. That course was pursued.
justice Hughes was next dSheu "

Hughes had taken, but after he had
considered the case they started out
to visit other Justices.
Announcement was made that two
Of the attorneys would remain in
