SNOW STORM ADDED TO FLOOD AND FIRE
With the Rapidly Rising Ohio RiVe Wheeling Nov Inundated Is Threatened With Worst Flood In HStOr--FIOtila of Motor Boats Patrol SCens of Disaster iG
 Bring SuCCOr to Afflicted
PRES WILSON MAY LEAVE AT ONCE FOR STRGKEh DISTRICT

Dayton, O., March 27.-Further danger from flood was passing, today, but the apprehension of great loss of life from famine, exposure and sick ness was growing hourly. The flood waters receded three feet during the night and it was expected ss- fore darkness most of thOeL in the downtown district would be Iib- erated. Four motorboats which ar- rived from Cincinnati, this morning were taken to the waters edge and an effort made to extend immediate re- lief to the most urgent cases found.
 Although there are constant rumorS of great number of deaths from fires and floods in far parts of the city the fact remains that there can be no actual knowledge nor intelligent estf- mate of the extent of fatalities at present.
 George BuFba, representing Gov. Cox, today, telegFaphed the governor urging that special emphasis be given the greaf need of immediate supplies of provisions. There is not a full days food supply in the city and before night it is likely that 1000 persons have been held down town without food.
 Washington, March 27.-President Wilson has determined to go to the Ohio flood district if his presence there can do any good. It was an- nOunced at the White House, today, that the President would await word from Secretary Garrison after he ar- rives in the flood district and decide then if he will join the aid party.

EVANSVILLE SUBMERGED.

ZanesviIIe, O., March 27-(Via tele- phone to sburgh)-Fifty-four feet of water is rushing through this city dividing it into three separate com munities. No communication by railroad is available and there is but one telephone wire that works spas medically. All the bridges between this city and the Ohio river are out The t'Y' bridge is under 20 feet of water and it is not known whether that is still standing. All railroad tracks are likewise submerged.
 Columbus, March 27-Between 500 and a thousand persons lost their lives in the flooded west side of Columbus, according to representatives of the Co., lunnbus Dispatch, who have just got ten into communication with the newspaper office from the previously isolated section of the city. This same estimate is given by persons in charge Of the relief stations on the hill top near the flooded section.
 According to those who invaded the stricken district, the churches, big State institutions and storehouses in the hill top section are crowded with refugees, many of whom were rescued from the mml1y waters and tell stor- ies of indescribable horrors. One re- port, today, said the deaths would reach at least a thousand.
 Thr4ongs of excited groups of people from the flood stricken section of the city who were crowded into the tenn porary rescue quarters asserted that the estimate is not exaggerated.
 The full extent of the awful tra gedy will not be known for days until the mass of wreckage of houses and up- rooted trees which are strewn on the level lowlands south of the city are uncovered. This mass of debris is now under several feet of water.
 Scores of families, the people assert were swept down with their houses in the swift current.
 Every available inch of space in the Columbus State hospital for the in sane and Mt. Carmel hospital, on the hill top, is occupied by refugees, ac- cording to those who invaded the stricken district today
 Four children are reported to have been born in a schoolhouse on the hill top.

CITIES STILL. BATTLE
CONTROVERSY Between Pine Knot and
Whitley City Reaches Courts.

Stearns, Ky.-The controversy over
the location of the county seat OF the
new county of McCreary. which has
been agitating the people of this sec
ton for the past two years, was fur
Their complicated by the filing of con-
test suit in the McCreary circuit court
to set aside the result of the recent
election, which gave Whitley City the
county seat by a majority of 1876 over
Pine Knot. Johnson, Wilson, Logan,
Harmon and others on behalf of Pine
Knot allege in the petition filed that
the calling of the election was not
done in accordance with the law; that
town lots of Whitley City We're given
away to influence voters; that the con-
ditions of the election in some pre-
cincts were not legal, etc.
The Whitley City Improvement Co.,
with some nine or ten citizens, advo-
Gates of Whitley City, were made de-
PENDANTS to the suit. In the meantime
all county officers have moved their
offices to Whitley City and are con-
Quoting the county affairs from that
point.

There was one disappointment for
those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts were not put on display. 1t
is known that these included many
beautiful and valuable articles sent
by relatives and personal friends Of
the bride and groom and of their fam
lilies and by admirers of President
Wilson. Handsome presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that of the latter being diamond Ia
valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter of the speaker, bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those who were invited to witness
the wedding were mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed in many heartburnings. From the
house of representatives circle, for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss
Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader I'm
derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and
Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann.
AS might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police would permit
with curious persons eager to watch
the arrival and departure Of the guests

this afternoon. The ceremony took
place in the east room of the White
House, and was performed by Rev.
Sylvester Beach of Princeton, N. j.,
the presidents former pastor and the
close friend of the Wilson family for
many years.
The entire affair was very simple,
as had been requested by the bride,
and the number of guests was rather
small distressingly so to many per-
sons in official and social circles Of
Washington who had expected to re-
eceive invitations but were disappoint-
ed.
Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
eldest Of the three daughters, acted
as maid Of honor to her sister, and
Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the
youngest, was one of the bridesmaids.
The three other bridesmaids were
Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott of Prince
ton, daughter of Prof. William B.
Scott; Miss Marjorie Brown of Allan
ia, Pa, daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cous-
in, Col E. T. Brown, and Miss Mary
G. White of Baltimore, college friend
of the bride.
DR.. GrenfeII Is Best Man.
Mr.. Sayre was attended by his best
man, DR.. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the ia
nous medical missionary to the fisher
men of the Labrador coast. The two
men have long been fast friends and
Mr.. Sayre spent two. summers help
ing Dr. Grenfell with his work.
The ushers were Charles E. Hughes,
.Jr., son of Justice Hughes of the SUI
preme court and classmate of Mr..
Sayre in the Harvard law school; DR..
Gilbert Horax of Montclair, N. j., who
was a classmate at Williams college
in 1909 and now at Johns Hopkins uni
versity; Benjamin Burton Of New
York city, and Dr. Scoville Clark Of
Salem, Mass, who was Mr.. Sayre's
companion in Labrador and Newfound-
land.
Wedding Gown Of Ivory Satin.
The brides gown was of satin, Of
soft ivory tint, trimmed with beau
tiful lace. both old and rare. 1t was
made in New York and the women
eonnoisseurs declared that it was a
masterpiece. The lingerie in the
trousseau is of the most dainty mate
rial and is all hand made. The maid
of honor and bridesmaids were beauti-
fully gowned and all looked their best.
Coming right in the midst of the
-chrysanthemum season, this was
made a chrysanthemum wedding and
that flower was used most profusely
in adjoining the White House. AS the
brides favorite color is maEve, that
was made the prevailing color in the
decorations. The east room, and in
deed all the rooms in the presidents
mansion, were beautiful indeed.
