RESCUE STATION ESTABLISHED AT NATIONAL CASH REGISTER WORKS AND 500 coFFlNs ORDERED TO THAT SEC. ToN-ALL ENERGIES DIRECTED To EFFORTS
 TO RESCUE

Dayton O., March 2G Flames that destroyed eight buildings in Dayton's submerged business section tonight cast red, weird glow over the flood stricken city that added 10 the fears ot thousands of refugees and ma rooned persons and led to apprehen- sion that there may have been many nt the water prisoners in the burn Ing buildings.
 Soon afterward notice was posted hv the emergency committee an nonncing that the city was under
 martial law'' and several compan. les of soldiers arrived from neigh loring Ohio cities. The soldiers were employed 10 patrol edges of the suiJ. merged district and prevent further looting of homes freed from the flood grasp. Up to late hour tonight. ihere had been no material disorder.
 Rescue squads worked practically today to throw back the veil that hides the true story of the Dayton disaster-the number of dead Late tonight the arrival of motor boats gave hope that by tomorrow the northern section Of the city now cut off by the Big Maimi's impossible barrier may he penetrated and then may be learned the fate of hundreds of imprisoned by she torrent that poured down the broken TarIeton reservoir
 The list of six dead was added to this afternoon by t>e death of an. other refugee. | was reported late tonight that a nrmDeT of dead had been found in houses at Fifth and Eagle strects. but when rescuers worked their way into the, partially submerged dwellings they found a number of the floods prisoners were weak from fright and hunger.
 Already over burdened victims of the waters wrath were compelled Io suffer again today in q cold, and smarting rain.
 Fire that appeared to threaten the business section tonight was ieon- fined to the block bounded by Sec ond and Third streets and Jefferson and St Clair streets. In the block are the Fourth National bank Evans Wholesale Drug Company and sever al commission houses Ii was inn rossihle to get within two miles of tbe fire and from that distance what appeared to be explosions. probably of drugs, made the fire seem of larg- CT proportions than it was. il appear cd to have about burned itself out

, life in the western part of the city from the great flood expanse along White river and an inestimable prop erty loss in the most substantial res- idence districts through the overflow of Fall Creek. Water fell rapidly in the latter district during the day but there was nf consequential abate- ment of the waters in west Indian apolis.
 Three distinct flood districts pre- vail throughout the state, each but a few miles wide, yet sweeping across the entire width of Indiana In the north all the towns and cities along the Wabash and it's large tributaries are affected; White river sweeps through central Indiana with Indian
 apolis the greatest sufferer, while White Water river drains valley in the middle southern portion of the state. where many towns and small
 cities have been affected. Smaller streams throughout the valleys, alf tributary to one or another of the three principal streams, are swollen and doing more or less damage
 Flood deaths may never be accur- ately known and probably it will be
 several days before even approxi- mately correct figures may be ob- tained. Efforts of all flood relief workers were directed today toward rescuing persons still in dangerous places and relieving the suffering and wants of tho homeless. he pern death list still is placed at from sixty to 300. It is generally admitted that at least twenty have perished iu West Indianapolis, where the flood struck foreign quarters and poorer homes with overwhelming sudden ness last night. Six deaths were re- ported from Fort Wayne, three from Newsactle, two from Lafayette, one from Nashville, one from Muncie and five scattered throughout the state, in addition to definite reports of deaths in several places yesterday morning.
 The most reliable information ob- tainable from Peru is that but sim gle block of the city remains alto gether out of the water and that thousands are packed into buildings HI d sfhdti dAtd QO0u toWt+ CiA WElG said to have suffocated in the crowds at the court house which still Is out of the water.
 At Logansport flood waters Of the Wabash are 16 feet deep on the floors of the Pennsylyania railroad station and cadets from the Culver Military Academy were rushed to Logansport to aid in the rescue work.
 In West Indianapolis, one pitiable tale after another added to the hor- TOTS of the flood story during the en- tire day. Night fell there on an un- completed work of rescue. after more than 800 persons had been taken to a single landing station at Blaine ave- nue and Morris street. where faciii- ties were increased to t9 row boats. a launch and two canoes. From three to four persons were brought in from the second floors of the houses and roofs of one stry buildings.
 Poorer classes constitute major

, and it was not believed it would spread to other blocks.
 It was impossible to ascertain even approximately the number of persons who might have been ma rooned in this section and who died after being trapped by flood and fire Nevertheless, rescue work went steadily on and about 5000 per sous were housed in places of ref uge tonight-the majority of them in buildings of the National Cash Register Company
 Al least 65,000 persons are i'm prisond in homes and in business buildings It is feared their two days Imprisonment with accompany ing hunger and fright has caused tre- mendous suffering.
 The flood came with such sudden. ness that food supplies in homes were whisked away by the torrent that reached to second floors in al- most the flash of an eye Skiffs start ed at the edge of the flooded dis. trict attempting to take food to those whom 1t was impossible to carry off. hut, the fierce current retarded this work
 Dayton was practically cut off from wire communication until late this afternoon. Then two wires into Cincinnati were obtained and oper- ators plunged into great piles of telegrams from Dayton citizens al- most frantic in their desire to as- sure friends outside of their safety Operators at opposite ends of the wire reported that thousands of tele- grams were piled up at relay offices. These were from peopie anxious over the late of Dayton kinsmen.
 Two oarsmen who braved the cur rent that swirled through the bus hess section of the city today re- ported that the water at the Aigon- quin hotel, at the southwest corner of Third and Ludlow streets, was b feet deep.
 From windows in the hotels and business buildings hundreds of the marooned begged pitiably Tor rescus and food.
 The oaTsmen said they saw no bodies floating on the tlod tide but declared that many persons must have perished in the waters sudden rush through the streets. Oarsmen in the outskirts tonight reported that 250 persons marooned in the Arcade building and hundreds imprisoned in the |. NJ. c. A. build ing were begging for water. A shortage of provisions was threatened this afternoon when 1t was reported many trains bound to Dayton from other cities had been stopped by high water. Every grocer in the city had been "sold out" be- fore noon It was believed that the relief trains might creep in during the night.
 Encouragement was received to. night in q message from the mayor of Springfield, who said he was send ing six big trucks loaded with pro visions tha. should reach Dayton early tomorrow. With the arrival ot motor boats tonight 1t was hoped to begln to distribute provisions before | daylight
 Reports that dam above Dayton threatened to break added to the city's terror tonight, If the dam broke it would pour in a flood that would hold up rescue work for days. Reports that fire chief Ramby lost his fife while attempting to reach q floating house had not been confirm | ad

Hamilton Needs Assistance.

Hamilton. O.. March 26--Small re- lief came to this city today despite the fact that several carloads of pro- visions were dumped almost within sight of the thousands of refugees ma.oned in the upper floors of the houses in the business district The swift current swirling through the major part of the town preventety anything like quick work in supply ing food and when darkness made the work almost impossible tonight, probably one fourth of the marooned ones were still on the hungry list.
 Fires have caused large property damage. What little remained of the Champion Coated Paper company plant. which was partly destroyed by fire last night caught fire again to- night and the building and contents are a complete loss. The Atlas ho- Tel, which collapsed early in the day is also reported on fire, but this cam not be verified.
 The death list cannot be estimated any better tonight than it could last night. although 1t appears certain that it will run into three figures.

URGE VISITORS
 ID REMAIN HERE

Visitors in Hot Springs from the flood district yesterday who heard from their friends or relatives were urged to not atfempi 70 cone home, but to remain here until the waters had subsidcd and the siSu' ation became relieved. lt was set forth in some of the messages thas railroad traffic was most uncer' tain, and that they were likely to be marooned anywhere, or worse, perhaps, be on trains that might be wrecked on account of the flooded condition and the debris about the tracks. There were many inquiries yesterday at this ott'ce from parties who have friends or loved ones In the flood district, and most Of these announced that It would be futile to attempt to Jo into the district at this time. Mi'i' tary rule prevails in many places and passengers are not permitted to pass within the lines of the cities where great wreckagc mas been wrought. unless they become members of volunteer crews to help aid the suffering.

Tornado Follows Flood.

Lexington, Ky, March 26.-Meager reports were received here today that a tornado swept a path two miles wide in Wayne county, south of Som erset, at midnight last night, and caused great damage. No loss of life has been reported.
 The wind blew barn against tine California Special on the Cincinnati New Orleans and Texas Pacific rail road broke out many windows but did not injure any of the passengers.
 Floods in the Dix river have inun. dated the water power plant of Dan vile, Ky, town of 1000 inhabitants and it is feared that the people will suffer for the want of drinking water A late report from Danviile says fire broke out in the residence section and threatens to bury the greater part of the town.

Chicago, March 26-Three thousand may have perisned in the deluge wh.ch swept the northern half of the Ohio river valley yesterday and today.
 Probably half d million people were made homeless by the flood in Indiana and Ohio and property damage in both states will be at least $100,000,000.
 These figures were compiled this afternoon from reports received here rom various points in the stricken district. Furtnerreports may increase the number of dead and 1t is un- likely that any decrease in financial loss will be made.

RAILROAD TRAFFIC NEARLY ABANDONED
ALL LINES IN OHIO AND INDIANA ARE PRACTICALLY TIED
 UP BY THE FLOODS.

Arcanum, O., March 26.--Railroads were chief sufferers from property damage in the flood district. It was said tonight by engineers and con
 struction bosses preparing repair trains for the flood district that strips of railroad more than half a mile each had been washed away in several places through Indiana. Con crete and iron bridges, their sup
 ports undermined, crumbled before the strength of the torrents hurled against them. The loss through ces- sation of traffic canuot be estimat- ed
 Ony two roads, the Michigan Gen. tra and the Lake Shore maintained communication with New York over their own lines those farther south finding mile after mile of their right of way under water.
 The railroads are planning to re- pair the damage done to their prop erty as speedily as possible. Men and material are being rhshed to ev- cry accessible point where damage has been reported and active repair work will be begun as soon as the fioous receuir.
 Telegraph and telephone wires in the stricken district are down. Long distance telephone service to Ohio was cut off with the exception oi connections with Toledo and Cleye- land Wires through Indiana were
 down in many places and some of the devastated towns were cut off from all communication
