DAYTON APPEALS FOR MORI,
AID.
situation i'm Stricken City Continues
Serious.

Dayton, Ohio, April 1.-"Dayton is
facing one of the gravest problems
that any city of the world ever faced,
and we want the world to know we
need money and food for our strick-
en- people," said John II. Patterson,
president of the relief committee. to-
hlght after ne returned in company
with II. +. Talbot, chief engineer,
from tour of the sections of Day
ton swept by the food last week.
In speaking of a tentative plan to
ask the Federal Government for a
loan of from $4,000, 900 to 100000
ooo' to be used in reconstruction work,
Ir. Patterson said:
AT a meeting Of bankers and Off
cials Of the building associations this
evening, it was decided to make an
appeal for Federal aid. The banks
and building associations have 500
100000 worth Of assets, which they
VIII put up as collateral 1t may be
deemed advisable to ask the Govern
fnent to give Us some financial assist
ance We feel that the disaster is an
emergency which would justify extra
ordinary action on the part Of Con
gress."
Since Sunday more than $3.50, 900 i'm
cash has been received from banks
IN cincinnati to replace damaged
money il local banks, which will re-
main closed until April 8.
In response to a telegram from Gov
ernor Cox, Mr. Patterson will go to
Columbus tomorrow to confer with
Miss Mabel Boardman, Of the Amcri-
AN Red Cross and the Governor Mr.
Talbott tonight estimated that the
property loss in Montgomery County
would reach at least $3.50, 900. 900. He
declared that one manufacturing COM
pany alone had lost half "a million
dollars.
Although several carloads OF provis-
'"i' "elc received today officials in
charge Of relief work stated that the
1000 situation was a matter of grave
concern. More refugees have applied
for assistance.
We must have rations for more
than 100000 people for an indefinite
PERIOD Mr., Patterson declared.
Four bodies were taken from the
debris by workmen today, bringing
the total number Of bodies recovered
up to 1872, according to the coroner's
estimate.

LEFT IN ROOF GARDEN.


The first mishap connected with the
building OF the city National Bank
building occurred Wednesday after
noon when the men knocked off work
ana left the place, leaving on the top
OF the building several Of the promi-
nent men of the city 1t was some
time before the gentlemen understood
their predicament and they took the
matter philosophically until such
time as relief could come to them.
Late in the afternoon, shortly be-
Tore the time for work to be knock
ed off for the day Messrs. Neill O'Don-
nell, DR.. r.. $. Booth, DR.. T.. K. Wilson
and Mr., G. f.. Haynsworth went to tho
top of the City National building to
look over the place and discuss plans
Tor the club and roof garden which
the Sumter club is to have there when
the building is completed and on
which work has been commenced.
While they were here engaged in this
interesting topic, six o'clock came ant
with it the cessation of work for the
day. All of the men about the builG
ing came down the elevator and de.
parted for their homes for the night.
and the four named gentlemen were
left marOoned on the top Of the build
ing.
They had gone up on the elevator
and they had expected to come down
that way. When they found them
selves in their peculiar dilema, one of
their number Mr.. Haynsworth es-
sayed to climb down the ladder which
extends along the elevator shaft. This
he succeeded in doing. He then pro-
ceeded to find the contractor and the
men who ran the engine which had
to be fired up so that the elevator
could be run up to the roof of the
building for the three gentlemen still
waiting there. This was done after
time and the men descended none
the worse for having had an expert
ence which no one else ever had be
fore them.

The average man needs help and to

MANY STILL UNDER DEBRIS.
Work of Recovering Bodies I'm Co.
lumbus Progresses Slowly.

Coumbus, Ohio, April ALL that
human effort could accomplish today
talled to penetrate the part of the de-
bris piled in the west side where it is
believed many of the bodies of per-
sons missing since the flood of March
20 finally will be recovered. AS mat
ters stood tonight, however, eight more
bodies had passed through the
morgues, running the total of dead in
that section up to II. In addition to
this number was the body Of James NJ.
kearney, merchant, who was drown
ed several months ago and which, cast
up by the flood, was found lodged in
a tree when the waters had receded.
That many other bodies will be re-
covered, after the army of men en-
ployed in the work has attacked the
great pile of debris made at several
points by wrecked homes, is generally
conceded. Just how many will not
be known for some days The prop
erty damage in Columbus, like the
death toll, is confined principally to
the west side, the business and man.

mously passed to the effect that she
be given a rising vote OF thanks.
What the Home Visitation Canvass
Did for COlleton County" by Miss

how II could be repeated in other
counties.
Reaching the Unreached Through
the Social Service" was the subject of
splendid address by the Rev. III. H.
Lumpkin, chairman of the Sunday
School commission of the diocese of

tendent could make his Sunday school

pecially to the large number of teach
