N.Y.DEMOCRACY To

Direct Primaries May Be Made
Issue to Reconstruct Party
in New York;. & r. Elec-
tons Poll Big Vote.
BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE New
York political situation is interesting
Pres. Wilson and Secy. Tumulty.
How TO rebuild a democratic party
on the ruins OF Charles +. Murphy and
Tammany Hall and a Sulzer impeach-
ment is the problem. The reform ad-
ministration of New York city is a
nucleus. Dudley Field Manone. the
new collector of port at New York,
is likely to be in charge Of the work.
The issue is the next thing, and it is
the idea of Henry George and some
of the enlightened members of the
New York democratic delegation in
congress that direct primaries must
be taken up and put through as a
guarantee that New York democracy
is genuinely progressive.
Pres. Wilson likes the idea and is
willing to assist. He went through
the primary fight in New Jersey and
has ideas on the subject. All this
looks ahead to the next presidential
campaign. New York is always an
important state, if not a pivotal state,
and if the democrats are to win, New
York democracy must be reconstruct
ed along modern progressive lines

SOLDIERS SLAY eLOOTERS AND GHOULS IN
FLOOD-STRICKEN CITIES OF OHIO

= ~ .. .ELOOIl.0 NlSNEI
Columbus; o., March 28.-There
cannot yet be any definite estimate
of the number of those who persisted
in the Ohio floods.
1t is known only that, while the
first wild estimates of thousands dead
and dying are greatly exaggerated,
the { ath toll unquestionably is
heavy.
Gov. Cox says that when all. the
facts are known, the Ohio floods will
be recognized as a greater disaster
than the San Francisco earthquake.
And in the wake of the waters and
the fire, pestilence and famine, the
looter and the ghoul, are stalking.
In all the fiood-stricken cities
which the soldiers have reached and
are patrolling, the same order has
been given out relative to hooters and
sightseers.
"Shoot hooters and shoot to kill If
sightseers will not get beyond the
flood headlines after one warning,
shoot them Also"
Men with relatives penned up in
some bloodhound city poured into
Columbus today over the Big Four
from Cleveland, frantically begging
for news.
The flooded west side Of the city
today was put under martial law, and
L Al
warned to keep away.
How many are dead in Columbus
has not yet been ascertaineda But
101 dead bodies have been located,
and the general impression is that
many more persisted.
One thousand or more persons still
are marooned by the flood. Bodies
are being recovered all the time.
Many were found dashed to tree tops.

which gathered at the morgue in the
early hours swelled gradually as the
day went on.
The body of Mrs Whitney, recover
ed yesterday, with a rope made from
sheets around the body, was the first
one placed in. the morgue.
Rescuers today penetrated to the
Cypress and center avenue section,
which suffered more than any other
from the flood. A hundred people of
this district still are marponed on
knoll near Green Lawn cemetery and
are suffering from cold and hunger.
Mrs. B. F. Tobin and her blind
baby were rescued from an attic, to-
day. They had neither food nor heat
since Tuesday.
Two daughters of Mrs. Ada PfeMer,
daughter of Mrs. Tobin, who fioated

A live 16-months-old baby was
found playing happily in an attic at

well dressed and warmly wrapped. A
note on which was written Walter
