SUSPECTED OF
BEING THIEVES
Two Youths Arrested Deny
Breaking into Store

Two sneak thief suspects, Harry
Fredericksen, twenty years old, of
Fayette street, and Ambrose (Red)
Brennan, with no home, are in Jail,
on the technical charge of petit lar
ceny. They were arrested on a
charge of breaking into the clothing
store and tailor shop of Samuel Hay
mig at 145 Fayette street and steal
ing a suit of clothes and waist coat
Monday night, Hendricksen was also
held on a charge of hitting Augustus
Germs. They were each held in de-
fault of bail In the amount of $500
to await the action of the grand
jury on a charge of larceny and
Fredericksen was held In default of
$500 bond on a charge of assault.
The police say the youths have
been under suspicion for some time,
as they were loafers and believed to
be general thieves. Mounted Patrol
mann arrested them. They pleaded
not guilty to the charge of larceny,
but Fredericksen admitted having hit
Germs. He said the assault had
taken place some time ago In a pool
parlor because he claimed Germs had
owed him a gambling debt on pill
pool game.

DAYTON SWEPT BY FLAMES.
Many Who Escaped Flood Have Per.
iehed by Fire,

Dayton, O., March T.-Fiames that
destroyed eight buildings in Dayton's
submerged business section cast a
glow over the food stricken city that
added to the fears Of thousands OF
refugees and marooned persons and
led to apprehension that there may
have been some OF the waters prison
ers In the burned buildings.
At an early hour today the fire start
ed afresh, and 1t was reported to have
reached the BeckeI House, in which
$50 guests were housed. The fate OF
the occupants Is unknown.
All the women and children who
were in one burning block were re-
moved to the Beaver power building.
There were thirty Of them.
Sixteen prisoners are housed IN the
Home Telephone building, with a block
and tackle rigged as means Of egress
II the fire presses them.
Five hundred are estimated In some
quarters now to be dead in North Day
ton, but the estimate Is doubted. Two
thousand are homeless, suffering from
munger ana exposure tnere-
gang of roughs went through the
southern part of the city instructing
the people to extinguish all lights for
fear of gas explosion and then began
raiding. University students from
Cincinnati and the traffic officers dis
3ersed them.
In the north side OF the submerged
district the people are huddled in
churches and public school buildings,
many of which are in danger Of col
lapsing. Three babies were born In
one church, and one baby was born In
a boat while In transit to safety, rain
pouring down on both mother and
child. Such scenes are common.
The large school building, which Is
sa1d to contain GOO people, is overbur.
dened, and 1t looks as If it will collapse
at any moment. Two boats loaded
with sightseers were emptied by the
police at the point OF shotguns to make
way for those In need Of safety.
Orders Five Hundred Coffns.
John II. Patterson. president Of the
National Cash Register company, has
all factory hands making boats and
coffins and has ordered 500 collins from
Cincinnati
Notice was posted IN headquarters
Of the emergency committee announc-
ing that the city was under martial
law, and several companies OF soldiers
arrived from neighbortng Ohio cities,
The soldiers were employed to patrol
edges Of the burned district and pre-
vent further looting of homes freed
from the foods grasp.
Rescue squads worked frantically to-
day to throw back the veil that hides
the true story Of the Dayton disaster

broken The report proved to be pre-
mature, for although the east walls
of the reservoir show signs of giving
away they were still intact this af-
ternoon. Guards on duty let out a
quantity of water during the morn
ing to relieve the pressure and this
was responsible for the belief in st.
Mary's that the reservoir had
broken.
A report, unconfirmed, has reach
ed here that Piqua is burning. The
death list there is said to be 500, but
as the people were warned there, it
is believed this estimate may be ex-
aggerated. Fourteen are dead at
Delaware and twenty at Hamilton.
Governor Cox, Adjutant General
Wood, and other militia officers will
endeaVor to reach Dayton this after
noon. They will take train, as far
as possible, and travel the rest of the
way in boats.
One thousand persons have been
rescued along the Pennsylvania right
of way In Dayton, George A. Burba,
secretary to Governor Cox, tele-
phoned here today. Burba said
food supplies outside the flooded dis
tricts were exhausted.

and the number of dead. The arrival
Of motorboats gave hope that the
northern section Of the city, now cut
off by the Big Mlamis impossible bar
rier, may be penetrated and then may
be learned the fate of hundreds i'm
prisoned by the torrent that poured
down from the broken reservoir.
The fire that started last night was
In the block bounded by Second and
Third streets and Jefferson and st.
Clair streets. In the block are the
Fourth National bank, Lattiman Drug
company, Evans Wholesale Drug COM
pany and several commission houses.
1t was impossible to ascertain even
approximately the number Of persons
who might have been marooned In this
section and who died after being trap
ped by flood and fire.
Nevertheless, rescue work went
steadily on, and about 5000 persons
were housed In places of refuge, the
majority of them in buildings of the
National Cash Register company. At
least $4,000 persons are imprisoned In
uOuleS anu III DlSlueSS DuliuinBS. IL
is feared their two days Imprisonment
with accompanying hunger and fright
have caused tremendous sufferings.
The food came with such sudden
ness that food supplies in homes were
whisked away by the torrent that
reached to second floors In almost the
fash of an eye. Slkiffs skirted the
edge of the flooded district attempting
to take food to those whom it was
impossible to carry off, but the fierce
current dlscourageously retarded this
work.
Two oarsmen who braved the cur
rent that swirIed through the business
section of the city reported that the
water at the Algonquin hotel, at the
southwest corner of Third and Ludlow
streets, was fifteen feet deep. From
windows In the hotels and business
buildings hundreds Of the marooned
begged piteously for rescue and food
The oarsmen declared that many per-
sons must have perished in the waters

lie, pointing to them its advantages
by citing the power of the carpen-
ters, bricklayers' and other unions,
whom the employer recognize as a
prevailing factor and treats with
their members as union men.
''If it is well for those crafts to
be organized, If it is good medicine
for them, 1t is certainly not poison
for the terra Gotta workers." he said.
He explained how the terra Gotta
workers have been receding In the
matter of organization and how they
have suffered by such. He closed
with an appeal for a state Of confid-
ence between the employer and the
employe in which each would con-
slider the best interests of the other
1--WE want to establish a feeling Of
confidence among the manufactur-
ers," he said.
II. l.. Eichelberger, representative
of the American Federation of Labor,
spoke Of the great changes wrought
by unionism In the city during the
past four years. He stated that the
terra Gotta workers were organized
then to certain degree but it
not stick. He spoke of the accom-
plishments of the federation. He
stated that 1t Is not panacea for all
labor ills but that 1t Is the only med
aum through which the workingman
can obtain increased wages, reduced
working hours and better working
conditions. He gave number of IN

Miss Lillian Erkstine told how the
- poison In the production of lead
causes innumerable Affections to the
workers, often bringing on paralysis.
She cited a case in which young
man working in lead mill as a dip
per was SO poisoned In three months
that he contracted paralysis. She
stated that she understood, and on
good authority. that Senator William
Il. Ramsay tried to kill the anti-lead
poison bill In committee in the
house being opposed to the measure.
She asked for resolution request
ing the support of the bill by the
Perth Amboy senator This resolu-
tion was passed unanim mously. Miss
Erkstine, without remuneration, has
conducted fourteen-months' inves-
tigation into this subject. She re-
presents the American Society Of
Labor Legislation, which Is trying to
get similar measures through the
legislatures Of fourteen other states.

Stories of Heroism and Martyrdom
Pleas For Clothing and Food.

Pleas For Clothing and Food.
Dayton, O., March 27.-The story Of
what really happened during night
epd day in Dayton, remarkable city
shilt practically around single indus
try. was being told by the exhausted
rescuers and prostrated Victims as
they were brought to safety. Each
fragment Of the story is tragedy.
A temporary morgue was established
In which the bodies were placed as
they were recovered. John A. Bell,
wire chief of the telephone system,
was able to establish connection with
Columbus
Bell told the governor that the vic
tins would number about 200, mostly
women and children. The loss Of life
was mainly in the pocket" formed by
the curve of the river between the
business district and the west side.
Bell had twenty men helping in the
rescue and picking up wire connec-
tions
Dayton doesn't want money. The
city asks for food, for clothing, nurses
physicians and medicines.
Don't send US money. We can't use
It," said J. 9. Hale Of the National
Cash Register company, who is In
charge Of the relief.
The severity Of the flood that hit
Dayton was due Of the collapse Of the
Loramie reservoir In Shelby county
about Z o'clock on Tuesday morning
Rushing down the Miami valley, the
water carried everything before 1T at
Piqua, Troy, Sidney, Dayton. Carroll
ton. Miamisburg and Hamilton.
The extent Of the loss OF life in other
cities in the valley cannot be estl
mated, as the same conditions prevail
there as In Dayton.
Horror Is !ndsseribabls.
Scenes Of tndescrlbable horror are
reported by the rescuers under Adju-
tant General George Fl. Wood Among
those who perished are said to have
been ten members of the Ohio national
guard who were guarding the bridge
According to one report, a school
house where 400 children were caught
Is inundated by twenty feet of water.
AS the entire city is under water ten
to thirty feet deep, all who could do
30 took refuge In the tall buildings Of
steel structure and deep and firm foun-
dations.
The whole story never will be told
the heroism of men: the martyrdom Of
women; the mad hysteria that seized
some and caused them to jump into the
food and death; the torture Of despair
that gripped those who, imprisoned In
their homes by the water, waited In
vain for help until the advancing flames
came and destroyed them.
A man marooned with his family on
the roof Of his home shot and killed
his wife and three children and then
himself rather than to suffer death In
the flames, according to report re-
ceived by J. ]. Munsell, employment
superintendent of the National Cash
Register company, from man who
actually saw the occurrence. The bod
les floated away on the food.
Rescuers tried to get raft that bore
man and four women that whirled
like spool In the rapid waters. Then
suddenly the raft was sucked up In the
darkness and another chapter was add
| ed In the tragic doubt that now exists
as to the number who died In this dis
