Aid Ohio Refugees.
Richmond has starved itself to rush

the thousands are being housed and

Indiana. The city of Indianapolis
today shipped a trainload OF supplies
and provisions to Dayton.
Martial law prevailed in several Of the
flooded cities as an aid to the sanitary

DEAD
IN PERU DISASTER
Indiana Town Needs $4,000
at Once to Feed and CIothe
Flood Sufferers.

SOUTH BEND. Ind. March 29-The
list of known dead as a result of the
Peru flood totals twenty-three. Scores
of aged men and women who We're
forced to undergo terrible exposures are
certain to die and add to the total
Four persons died in the courthouse
from exposure
Terrible conditions prevail among the
refugees. who are increasing in numbers
as the waters recede. Sanitary condi-
tions among the hundreds sheltered in
the courthouse became so bad that
boats removed many of them to other
places.
Relief workers and city officials have
Joined to investigate statements con-
cerning eXorbitant prices for food -stuffs
and propose to expose every merchant
attempting TO make money through the
misfortunes of others
Need Money At Once.
Joseph H. Shirk. chairman of the
relief finance committee, has issued this
statement:
I'VE need $4,000 at once. We need
shoes. Many are barefoot. We need
more unperishable goods. as we have
been feeding 10000 daily since Monday
night. We need help to patrol the city.
The looters were active last night and
will be far worse tonight
Several looters have been arrested and
others shot. One robber was shot by
citizen, who threw the body into the
river.
Communication between Peru and
South Peru has been re-esta blished.
Thirty-one people were taken out of the
Commercial Hotel. All those in the
south section had been without food
since the beginning of the flood, and
many are crazed as a result.
The water Is rushing back as fast
as it came, leaving a coat of mud and
slime. 1t is from this that the great
danger of disease exists. Peru citizens
refuse to even help clean 1t I'D, and
unless 1t Is Immediately removed the
city will have to be quarantined.
There Is smallpox and several cases
of pneumonia, diphtheria, mumps, and
measles. Lodge rooms, schools and all
available buildings are filled with the
sick.
More than 1000 bodies Of animals,
cattle. and horses are lying dead in the
streets.
The work of rescue has been greatly
impeded by the selflshness of residents.
An Indian of the Wallace shows Sc
cured a boat and charged people 500

Last Saturday we called attention to
the fact that seven of these Chevy Chase
homes had already been spoken for.
One weeks time finds four of these
seven homes SOLD.
At this rate you can readily figure
the dispatch with which the entire num-
Der will be disposed of.
These homes represent one of those
rare opportunities that in after years
other home selling operations refer to as
a practical demonstration that a good
home situated in good location con-
stitutes one of the safest and Surest
methods of profitable investment.

NATION OPENS PURSE
TO VICTIMS Of FLOOD
Contributions of Money and
Supplies Reach Red Cross
Offices in Stream.

Never before has the generosity OF
the American people been exempli-
hed as in the case Of the flood suf-
ferers in Ohio. constant stream
OF contributions of money, clothing,
and supplies is pouring into the Of
fees of the American Red Cross Soci-
ETY.. Teh office was notified early to-
day that a fund of 100000 has been
placed to 10, credit by the citizens
OF Boston. Chicago has placed an
other fund Of 100000 to the credit of
the society. which with the $50. 900 al
ready sent by New York make a fund
of s25e.oo0, which can be used i'm
mediately.
In the office of the society today a
clerical force is busy opening mail
and listing checks. From all parts of
the country the contributions come.
and although many of them are for
small amounts the sum total, it rs
believed. will provide for the suf-
ferers over the whole flooded dis
trict.
Supplies Pour In.
The generosity Of the people of Wash
ington 10 shown at the F street office of
the Red Cross Society, at which con-
tributions of clothing and supplies are
received. Hundreds of people had de-
posted boxes and bundles of clothes
before noon. and the stream of con-
tributors seemed to be constant. Every
thing from caps to overcoats, shoes.
underclothing, overalls, sweaters, and
suits Of clothes are being deposited, and
expert packers are busy getting the con-
tributions ready for shipment.
Those in charge of the supplies and
clothing believe that the way to the
flooded district will be opened for all
who are homeless and suffering from
hunger and lack of clothing will be
reached without difficulty.
The Washington relief train, which
started from the Union Station at mid
night last night is steaming steadily
toward the flooded district, having not
yet reached the section over which
rapid travel is dangerous. Miss Mabel
Boardman, with a corps of Red Cross
nurses, physicians, and trained helpers,
will take relief to the sufferers just as
soon as the flooded district is entered.
The train is loaded down with sup
plies, clothing. and necessities in such
cases which were collected In Wash
week. No difficulty was found in OBJ
tanning packers and transfer facilities
for the enormous amount Of stuff COLI
lected. Every person in Washington
seemed to be more than willing to do
his or her share of the work and Miss
Roardman found everything provided
for.

before another week is gone the Red
Cross officials expect to have at least
a million dollars to use in relief work.
The contributions have ranged from
5 and 10 cents to the $4,000 sent by
Henry c. Frick, and $1,000 sent by
John d. Rockefeller. A great many

tribute. The contributions will be pooled
this afternoon. and Department Com
mander Thomas H. Mckee will send
the purse to the department comman-
ders Of the flooded district. who will
distribute the money as they see fit.
1t is expected that a large purse will
be raised, in spite Of the fact that the
majority Of the G. A. r. members, being
in Government employ. have already
contributed to the various department
funds.
Commissioner of Education p. p.
Claxton has isued a call to all the
teachers in the United States to con-
tribute their mites to the flood sufferers

BULGARIA IS READY
FOR INTERVENTION
Roumania's Threats OF War Are
Put Aside BY Former Ma
tons Appeal to Powers.

PARIS Feb. l9.-The danger of a
conflict between Bulgaria and Rou-
mania. which has been threatening for
several days. Is believed to have been
averted today, when the two nations
agreed to the principle Of mediation by
the European powers.
Disagreement between. the Bulgars
and Roumanians grew out of the de-
mand Of Roumania that Bulgaria cede
q strip of territory on the Black sea
coast. This was refused, and Rou.
mania threatened armed occupation OF
the Bulgarian territory.
Russia showed great interest In this
thfeateI1d trouble. and although the
government maintained an Optimistic
view of the situation, financial circles
were greatly excited. Through joint
action of the powers, ii is expected that
Russia and Italy will be designated as
mediators in the dispute.
1t was admitted in diplomatic circles
that the situation as result of TIE de-
mafds Of Roumania had become acute
RoumaEia's latest proposal, made yes
terday, was that Bulgaria should cede
TO her the Black sea coast as far as
Cape Kali Akra and the town OF
Baltchik. Under this arrangement
Roumania agreed to withdraw her de-
msnds for the Bulgarian town of Silis-
tria, which the Bulgarians have stoutly
refused to give up from the start.
Bulgaria rejected the latest proposal
but with the announcement that Rou.
mania was willing to withdraw her de-
nlands for Silistria, the situation was
regarded as more hopeful. and the de-
cision to permit mediation by the pow.
