AID SUPPLIES POUR IN.
People of National Capital Respond to
Cry of Flood Sufferers.

Washington, March 27.-Following
close on President Wilson's appeal to
the nation to contribute generously to
the Red Cross funds for the relief of
the flood sufferers, the national CAPT
tai today perfected plans for it's
share in the relief work. Hundreds of
dollars are pouring in on the Red
Cross chapter.
A supply depot has been opened in
the shopping district under the su-
pervision of the Retail Merchants as
sociation and medical stores, food
stuffS and clothing are being collect
ed. AS quickly as sufficient quanti-
ties are gathered they will be for
warded. The response for aid is said
to be marked by spontaneous gener-
osity. The various departments of the
government are keeping in close
touch with the flood situation, as is
the National Red Cross.
President Wilson is being kept con-
stantly advised of the progress of the
disaster.

MANY ARE IN PERIL
Scenes in Flooded Dayton Are
IndescribabIe.
Children Born to Refugee
Women in Rescue Boats.

New York, March 21.-A summary
of conditions in Dayton, as reported
over the A. T. and the line to Phone
ton and forwarded to this city, fol-
lows:
One of our employees, who return
ed this evening from the north side
of the submerged district of Dayton,
says the scenes there are indescrib-
able. People are huddled in churches
and public school buildings and there
is danger of these collapsing. Three
babies were born in one church this
afternoon. One was born in a boat
while its mother was being conveyed
to safety. Such scenes are common.
Every effort was made by US to aid
the sufferers with supplies and such
other help as we could.
There is a school building said to
contain 500 persons and indications
were that it would collapse in a short
time. Two men seen using a pleasure
boat to view the scene had to be
pressed into rescue service bv the po-
lice at the points of shot guns.
Many buildings in a portion of the
down town section were destroyed by
fire this afternoon. The fire seems
to have subsidized considerably with
heavy rain this afternoon. Indications
are that there will be great loss of
life before enoueh help arrives to get
people to places of safety. A relief
committee, which met on the north
side of Dayton this afternoon, report
ed between $4,000 and 100000 nome
less. Many dead bodies were floating
past. There is great danger from
spread of disease. The river has been
steadily falling all afternoon. A re-
port spread at midnight says the town
of Piqua was on fire.
There was no confirmation of the
report. About the same hour, accord
ing to Phoneton MESA ges, fires were
again raging in Dayton.
For the last hour" message
said burning buildings in Dayton
were plainly visible from our office
here. The rain has subsided now, so
the fire has practically nothing to
check it,

WATERS RECEDINC.
Improvement Reported in Flood Con-
ditions at Hamilton.

Hamilton, O., March 27.-The water
has receded in the streets of HamiI-
ton to such an extent that before noon
every family in town should be reach
ed with supplies, and it is barely pos
sible that at this time the work of
searching for the dead will begin.
Automobile trucks, electric cars and
electric trains came within hailing
distance of town this morning and
carload after carload of supplies were
unIoaded and made ready for distribu-
ton. Estimates of the dead have run
from 100 to 1000, but an accurate
estimate is impossible. AS the water
recedes the damage to property ap-
pears to increase.

with provisions arrived this morning

DEATH LIST CROWS
Two More Victims Succumb to
Tornado Injuries.
City in Mourning on Day of
Many Funerals.

Omaha, Neb., March 27.-Two more
victims of Omaha's Easter Sunday
tornado died during the night of in
juries. They were Mrs. Pearl Adams,
bride Of three weeks, wife of a street
car conductor, and Mrs. E. S. Snyder,
whose home was at Twenty-fourth
and Lake streets.
Mayor Dahlman today sent to the
preston of sympathy, each message
bespeaking for the people of Omaha
the hope that reports of flood disasters
might prove to be exaggerated.
For the first time since the tornado
the city was able to put at work today
a Iorce of men searching the ruins of
the stricken district for additional
bodies, many Of which Coroner Crosby
believed were still buried beneath the
ruins. Early today 112 dead had
been identified within the city of
Omaha. Council Bluffs and other ad-
total of 1h4. A number of injured
were still in the hospitals. Some prob
ably will not recover.
Yesterday and today calls for help
from victims poured into the relief
stations and all of these places found
of provisions and clothing for the suf-
fering when they were thrown open
today.
Many Need Assistance.
1t avs estimated that nearly 1000
persons would require assistance un-
til permanent relief could be arranged.
Funds were being provided for, how
ever, and the work of caring for the
storm victims was being organized in
asysteniatic manner. Nearly a quar-

The candidates nominated for city
offices are worrying. The burden of
their uneasiness is the ballot opinions
of the 5000 qualified electors who
did not go to the primaries Monday.
1t is anticipated that at least $500
city election choice Tuesday. How
will they vote?
That is the question.
One thousand or even five hundred
votes may change the facial express
sion of the primary ticket. 1t will be
silent vote-a vote that has not
been placed on the books-and the
candidates are wetting their fingers
trying to find out the direction of the
wind. The direction of the votes that
went to eliminated candidates have
been all placed by the political prin-
cipals But the vote that stayed at
home is haraSsing the ambitious
campaignerS.
The registration is more than
1880. In this number 13,40O voted
at the primaries Monday. Five or six
thousand stay-at-homes are looked
upon to decide a number of the ar
guments election day. These votes
are being courted with every prom

least half of them out.
Loss in Twenty Precincts.
1t has been discovered at the oI11ce
of the city election commissioner that
only three precincts in the primaries
turned out a larger vote than was re-
corded in the primaries two years ago.
This means that twenty precincts
showed a loss in vote. In every ward
except the Sixth, this was true The
fact that the loss in ballots is distrib-
uted over the city means that the
usual discrimination can be figured
out according to the regular vote.
Here is a table of the primary vote
this year and in 1911:

CALLS FOR MONEY.
Governor of Ohio Declares Funds Are
Needed for Relief.

Columbus. March 27.-That money by
telegraph is urgent for Ohio flood
swept districts is the substance of a
proclamation issued by Governor Cox
today.
He said it is impossible to get sup
plies to the stricken districts because
railroad trains are unable to operate
and that supplies can best be procured
at the nearest points to the cities and
towns affected.
THE situation is critical and the
need is urgent" said the proclamation.
THE officers of the Red Cross are
here and ready to give assistance
Governor Cox has appointed the fol-
lowing flood -elief commission to
handle the funds for flood sufferers in
Ohio: JohI. H. Patterson, Dayton;
Homer H. Johnson, Cleveland; Jacob
Schmidlatt, Cincinnati; F. o. Richard
son, Toledo; George w. Lattimer Col
umbus. Colonel W. NJ. Wilson, of the
pay department of the Ohio militia will
be treasurer. BY virtue of his position,
Governor Cox is chairman of the Red

BROKE ALL RECORDS.
Colder This Morning Than for 26
Years So Late in Season.

The temperature this morning at 6
o o'c1ock-fifteen degrees-was the low
est recorded this late in the season
since the government weather rec
ords were started, twenty-six years
ago.
The day dawned clear, and the mer-
curry soon began to rise slowly, al
though a wind from a northerly di-
rection blowing at the comparatively
slow pace of six miles an hour made
the upward progress sluggish.
Last year after this date there was
no freezing weather. 1t is conse-
quently probable that real spring is
near at hand. The temperatures this
morning were of the midwinter va
riety.

Ohio River Rising to an Alarming
Stage at Wheeling.

Wheeling, March 27.-The Ohio river
had reached the 48 foot mark at IL a.

tenths of an inch an hour. Wheeling,
already inundated, feared the worst
food in its history. One more death
was reported today from Benwood, just

Only in the first precinct of the
Second ward and the two precincts of
the Sixth ward were gains made. This
was on account of the work of the
opposing candidates for commissioner
of water and electric lights in the Sec
ond ward and the gain in population
in the Sixth ward. Politicians, how
ever, are looking for good gains In the
election Tuesday.
Cofran Is After the Women.
Director Fulton of the Cofran-for-
Mayor headquarters is meeting this
afternoon with the women of the
Good Governm tent club IN an effort to
receive the endorsement of this CLUB
for his candidate. Although it is not
anticipated that the women will place
a ticket in the field for the election,
the same informal tactics used before
the primaries undoubtedly will pre-
vail. The women were disappointed
in only one result of the primary cleo
tion-HugheS was defeated But with
the Hughes-O'Neil forces behind Cof-
ran, the women will have a greater
majority in favor of the anti-Billard
candidate.
Fulton admitted unblushingly today
that Cofran lacked only the formal
balloting and the required swearing
in at the city hall to be mayor. He
predicts that Cofran will procure at
least two-thirds of all the vote for
defeated candidates in the primaries
as well as a big percentage of the new
vote. He believes that Cofran is
gaining strength every day-and that
the mayor has hit his mark by the
strength he displayed Monday.
Equally confident is Mayor Billiard.
Billiard says he needs only one out of
three or four votes to win and he re-
lies upon his record to pull him
through the fray.
Commissioner Miller is encouraged
today. He says that the immense lead
acquired by Newland caught him nap
ping He says the tale of the election
returns will bring the stamp of aD-
proval of the voters on his record as
water commissioner.
