DAYTON'S Death

the spirit of human brotherhood pre-
walls.
Public institutions and private homes
alike have thrown open their doors to
the homeless. Faces of the survivors
show the mental anguish they have suf-
fered. Perhaps lO.Oo0 persons are home
less.
Women. hollow-eyed and frantic with
grief, are searching for their husbands
and loved ones. Men. with drawn feat
ures. care-worn. and suffering from the
horrible experiences through which they
passed. are. in many instances, as help
less as babies. Many have lost their
reason and are unable to comprehend
that the flood has passed and they are
safe.
Weather Bitter Cold.
The weather is bitter cold. but the rain
has ceased to fall. Thousands of sur
vivors, who have spent two nights ma
rooned in buildings without light, heat
or food. will tonight sleep in warm beds
Secretary of War Garrison and his staff
may reach here tomorrow and take COM
plete charge of the situation. Sanitary
engineers and doctors of the State Board
Of Health already are outlining plans to
prevent ans epidemic of sickness.
There have been many heroic figures in
the horrible hours Of dread and uncer-
tainty, when it seemed that fire would
wipe out those who had escaped the tor
rents of the flood. but standing out among
these is John A. Bell. an employe of the
Central Union Telephone Company. who
stuck bravely to his wire in the Central
Telephone Exchange, surrounded by
flame and flood, and kept in constant
touch with Gov. Cox at Columbus, in
forming him of every development, ard
sending out appeals for aid. All Dayton
is grateful to this man, whose bravery
inspired men and women to renewed hope
and endeayor. Steps are being taken to
secure for him a Carnegie medal and
4 life pension.
City In Darkness.
The city tonight is in darkness, except
for the lanterns and torches borne by
workmen and rescuers.
Carloads of -four have reached here
from the Northwest, but cannot be used
as the gas has been turned off and there
is no way to cook food. Bread and ready
cooked foods are needed.
The National Cash Register plant has
been turned into an immense relief sta
ton, and hundreds of refugees are
housed there. --., .-..
Stories of the flood told by survivors
are narrowing. Men tell of seeing wom-
en- and children borne down the raging
torrent while they were unable to rem
der aid. Thrilling rescues were numer-
Gus. Many were saved by the use of
life-lines which were thrown to persons
floating by ON wreckage. These were
securely tied about their bodies and
willing hands drew them to safety.
Hotel Guests Safe.
The Algonquin Hotel. in the center of
the flood. was inhabited by hundreds
of guests and citizens who made their
way there. The water rose to the third
story, but no suffering resulted as pro-
visions had been taken to the higher

last night was called as a result of a
circular letter sent out Thursday. This
letter was signed Several Members"
and the announcement made that none
of the details OF the movement would
be given to the public. 1t is possible
that the total forwarded will be made
public in due season. Present indica-

attention will be given to the flood
situation. and in all probability a re-
lief fund will be appropriated.
