the active leader in the organization
plan, that they would attend the pro-
posed conference at which Represen-
tatlVe Murdock is to be made the Pro-
greSsiVe choice for speaker.
Inc attitude Of many of these pro-
near PrOgressives' by Col. Roose-
Velt has not yet been determined.
Whlle the Progressives, as repre-

piled directly to Mr.. Underwood.
Democratic leader, for recognition as
separate party in the distribution
or committee places the progressive
republicans are still dependent upon
the regular Republican organization
of which Representative Mann of IL
hnois is leader. Some strength was
added TO the Progressive organization
plans today by the rumor that the Re-
publican leaders were inclined to with
draw some of the choice committee
places from the Progressives.
The date for the conference or

inally set for April 2, was changed
today to April IA.

Tor his work and approves of Victor

PAIL OF DEATH COVERS FLOOD
AREA.
Dayton and Other F1ood-Swcpt Cities
still Cut ON From Outside World
But News That Comes Through In
dicates That Terrible Disaster has
Not Been Exaggerated.

Chicago, March 26.-Three thous-
and may have perished i'm the deluge
which swept northern Ohio river val
ley yesterday and today. Probably
half a million were made homeless by
the flood In Indiana and Ohio and
property damage In both States will be
at least 100000. 900.
These figures were Compiled this af-
ternoon from reports received here
from various points in the stricken
district. Further reports may in
crease the number OF dead and IL is
unlikely that any decrease in financial
loss will be made.
An additional horror was reported
early this evening from Dayton. Fire
there. which seemed widespread and
probably uncomfortable. in view of
the paralysis OF the water plant,
probably brought a horrible death to
many who sought TO escape drowning
by climbing to upper floors OF build
ings
Following are revised figures of the
dead:
Ohio-Dayton. 1000: Piaua $40:
Delaware 100; Middletown 100: Sid
ney so; Hamilton IL; Tippecanoe 8:
Tifiin 80; Fremont IL; scattering 200.
1ndiana-Peru l5O: Newcastle B.;
Lafayette 2: indianapolis Il: Mobiles
Vile 2; scattering 25. Total 196.
Grand total 3.262.
Reports unconfrmed said that IA
persons lost their lives I'm Fremont
, a.iI so at Tiphn. Ohio. IL was ru-
mored I'm Indianapolis early today that
zoo persons were drowned in West
= indianapolis. but this number was
later reduced to IA, though IL was
estimated early this evening more
than that number had died. South
OF Indianapolis the flood Is said to
have caused death In number OF
small towns and villages.
Railroad officials were authority for
the statement that lines converging
into indianapolis would have to stand
. n loss OF s25.000,00 in that city and
vicinity alone.
Railroads were chief sufferers from
properly damage. IL was said tonight
oy engineers and construction bosses
preparing repair trains for the flood
districts that strips OF railroad more
than half n mile long each had been
washed away In several places through
Indiana Concrete and iron bridges.
TIER supports undermined. crumbled
before the strength OF the torrents
hurled against them.
The loss through cessation of traffic
can not be estimated.
III Only two roads, the Michigan Cen
, trail and the Lake Shore, maintained
<1uroQiration with New York over
Nt6~5t5Wa lines. those farther south
Hnding mile after mile OF their right
OF way under a fathom OF water.
Telegraph and telephone wires in
the stricken district are down. Long
distance telephone service to- Ohio is
cut on with the exception OF connec-
ton with Toledo and Cleveland. Wires
through Indiana were down I'm many
places and some of the devastated
towns were cut off from all communi-
cation.
