The Ohio Society of Atlanta has
about 100 members. Its president is
John H. Longwell, and its secetary
Frank Doughman. The names of the
two officers are signed to the state
ment Patriotic love for their native
state is the burden Of the declaration
of the Ohio Society. 1t says
The dreadful holocaust by storm ana

and we are bowed in grief We hast
encd to impari to His Excellency James

that in so doing We have accomplished
nothing toward the material welfare Of

and children. The third floors have been
turned into hospitals and all available
doctors have been sent to the school

in the northern section of the city,
showing the great property loss.
Wrecked houses blocked many of the

Many thrilling stories were told by
the refugees who had been trapped in
their attics and on their roofs in the
very heart Of the flood.
A. J. Barb. of Belmont avenue. who
was penned in the City National Bank
on Third street. near Main. Tuesday
was rescued to-day.
"One hundred and fifty Of Us were
caught in the building" said Barb We

some small wire from one of
the offices. We attracted a boatman.

who risked his life To come to US. We
gave the boatman one end Of the Irvine
and ne rowed to the old court house.
He then pulled the wire over and after
that the heavy cable. One end of the
cable was made fast in the bank build
ing and the other in the old court
house. Then as the bank building
burned the $50 marooned persons made
their way, hand over hand along the
cable over the swirling torrent to the
court house. l believe every one. men
and women, made their trip in saefty.
During our Imprisonment I had two
crackers and d slice of Clipped beef to
eat.
The city hall did not burn, but the
Leonard building. just across the street,
collapsed. Parts of the Beckel hotel
crumbled before the waters The fire
swept both sides Of Third street, be-
tween Jefferson and St. Clair streets,
leaving only the Fourth National Bank
building standing. You bet I'm glad to
get out Of it. and I'm deeply grateful TO
the brave men who came TO our res

Mr.. Doughman has relatives in

"To me the loss of that portion Of

Tornado Floods
Follow Extremes
In Spring Weather

To the fact that. in the months be-
tween winter and summer one part or
the country may be experiencing warm
weather while another section not far
removed may still have winter temper
atures, Forecaster VonHerrmann, of
the local bureau. ascribes the outburst
of tornado storms which have swept
the middle West and have caused tor
rental rainfalls and floods.
A sudden rise of temperature in
particular locality, he said to-day, de-
velops a low pressure area, into the
center of which the wind rushes from
every point Of the compass. If there is
sufficient difference in the temperature
of this locality and the surrounding
districts, the swirl of winds grows mag
ically into destroying atmospheric
demon which sweeps over the country
with terrific force until, its energy
spent. the clouds loose their water upon
the earth.
Tornado Came From Coast.
The tornado which leveled buildings
in Omaha and brought death and de-
struction to the city, later travelling
eastward and causing the nations
greatest tragedy, had its beginning in
the state of Washington about March
It, according to VonHerrmann. The
cyclonic conditions were developed in
the manner described, and moved
swiftly eastward over the Western
states, demolshing homes, public
buildings and farm houses as they
went.
When the middle West was reached,
the force was greatly spent, and just as
the surcharged clouds lowered above
the river valleys of Ohio and Indiana,
they burst and deluged the cities and
hamletS below
Hit Atlanta From Texas.
The Windstorm which passed over
Atlanta was caused in the same man
ner, NonHeTrUann said. This one had
it's origin in the lower part of the
Western United States. swept over the
Gulf states. passed near Corpus Christi,
Texas, and then sweVed toward Allan
Ia. but not with one-third the force that
propelled the tornado that spent its
vengeance upon the Ohio and Indiana
cities.
Because of the heat of summer,
these cyclones virtually never happen
later in the year for all of the country
usually is uniformly warm at the same
time and there is no undue rising OF
| the heated air at one particular point.

.REC|TES HORROR.
Starvation Now Faces ZaneS-
vile Refugees, She Asserts.
Thousands Homeless.

CLEVELAND OHIO, March 2S.-A
graphic story of flood horrors at stricN-
Ell GAINESVILLE is the word picture given
BY Miss Airline Bell, one of the four
marooned telephone girls at the ex-
change office in that city, over long
distance line into this city to-day.
For the first time in two days we
see a glimmer of hope" she said. The
river has stopped rising, and if there
are no more rains and the reservoirs IN
the valley above us hold, the water will
begin to recede by shutdown.
But still the situation here is awful.
The river is four miles wide here and
houses are in water up to the second
and third stories We must have food
or starve. Hundreds have been killed
by the flood and as many more will die
unless relief is received.
The Office in which l have been
working with three other girls is just
outside the flood district. From the
front window we can see bodies float
ing in the water, and everywhere the
scene is horrible.
City in Darkness.
The electric light plant has been
swept away and last night the town
was in darkness. Our only light was
from the one gas main that has not
broken.
Every few minutes some noise loud
er than the tremendous tumult of the
water tells us that another building has
collapsed.
1.-THE water is 80 feet in some parts
of the city and bodies are floating in it
and parts of houses and dead animals
can be seen.
Don't forget to tell people TO send us
food and clothing, water and medicine
The situation was still serious there
today Thousands of homeless suffered
intensely from the cold and from lack OF
supplies Reports to-day declared that
the loss of life in the Muskingum valley
would reach 500.
Calls for extra militiamen were sent
to nearby towns this morning as the
local guardsmen have been on duty here
for 70 hours continuously and are worn
out.
More Houses Burn.
Several houses were burned to the
waters edge during the night Many
buildings have collapsed. A number OF
persons marOoned on the third and
fourth floors of the higher buildings
were rescued to-day by policemen and
firemen.
Many of the refugees are on the verge
of insanity, owing to their terrible ex-
periences Several men and womer
who lost all their loved ones in the fioof
attempted to leap into the torrent. but
were held back by friends Estimate;
to-day place the number of houses
swept away at between 300 and 600.
The gas. water and heat supply i,
broken and if conditions do not allevi-
ate during the next twelve hours the
death list will grow rapidly.
