DAYTON DEATH
 TOLL DROPS

Revised estimates which came Tn, early today, from the flooded districts of Ohio and Indiana showed that re- ports of loss of life in many cities and towns had been exaggerated.
 The greatest anxiety still centered about Dayton, where an accurate esti- mate of the number of victims of the flood was believed to be impossible.
 The deaths promise to be much less at Columbus, O., than first reports from the western part of that city in 1ica.ted.
 Tn the parts Of Dayton which have been explored by a motornOat. the death list has been greatly reduced from first estimates and unless the number of victims in the north sec ton of the city is found to be large, the dead in the entire city may not exceed 200.
 Ln Piqua, where more than 500 per sons were reported drowned, less than 2G' lost their lives, according to ad- vices, today.
 In Chillicothe, where the mum Der drowned were reported to be in the neighborhood of 100, the dead will not exceed 25. Similar rsults were ex- pected as to ZanesvilIe and other Muskingum valley towns.
 Indiana continued to report improv- ing conditions. The estimates of dea d are shrinking more accurate re- ports were made.
