Democrats TO Aid Mitchell.

Francis Lynde Stetson. in sending a
campaign contribution 10 the Mitchell
Campaign Committee Yesterday. said that
since the death OF Mayor Gaynor II had
become more and more evident that the
defeat Of the Tammany organization and
of it's oyershadowing master can he eff
fected only by rallying to the support OF
Mr. Mitchell all who believe that In the
pending election the all absorbing issue
is the overthrow of TammaHy Hall"
Mr.. Stetson said his was the belief OF
large number OF tine Democratic voters OF
the city and that the points OF public
policy on which he. dissented from the
fusion candidate were negligible as com
pared with the necessity Of aiding him in
his warfare against those who seek to
capture the city for selfish and malgn
purposes.

Therefore. whatever gain may come

received by the candidate along the

until Mr.. Hearst himself arrives. This
particular adviser told him that prob
ably some Of the leagues leaders were
bluffing about the possibility Of Mr..
Hearsrs running himself and that it
would be better to get the editors at
tlttude direct. Mr. Hearst is expected
the middle Of next week.
Furthermore. both Controller Prender-
CAST and Borough President McAncny
will insist that II Mitchell take the In

some understanding whereby they are
not attacked by the Hearst papers.
such an understanding could only be
had with Mr.. Hearst in person.
Il have said repeatedly" said Presl-
dent McAneny. that I believed Mr..
Mitchell should take any nomination or
Endorsement that may he offered to
him without hndcring his personal
freedom of action. I am still Of that
opinion
The only comment Controller Prem

Mr.. Mltchers remark that lie would
not spurn any support that would give

Men and Women.

Washington. d. c. Taken from the
ruins of the flooded cities of Ohio and
Indiana, hundreds Of bodies were Sum
day borne to the churches In the high
eli. districts, and after short funeral
services hurried to graves.
The fear Of .pestilence from the Ill
smelling mud drove the city, State and
Federal authorities to feverish activity
In rescuing and disposing of the dead
as rapidly as possible.
Secretary of War Garrison and his
corps of assistants motored to Hamil-
ton. Ohio, from Cincinnati, and from
that point directed the relief work.
Little could be done in Dayton be-
cause large part of that city 10 still
under water.
With the recession of the waters
the leading spirits Of the stricken
cities are already planning to rebuild
and to care for their destitute after
the first temporary relief from outside
shall have been exhausted.
One line remains open between Gin
cinnati and Hamilton, and when this is
gone, as it seems it must soon, the
latter city will face famine.
Ghoulish work Of man and woman,
unnerved by the long anxiety, made
hideous scenes where the foods have
abated until the soldiery took charge.
Memphis is facing grave situa-
ton, The Drinkwater levee has
broken and hundreds of acres of fer
tile land will be flooded.

Chicago. Railroad officials here de-
clare that transportation lines through

In their history. A conservative esti-
mate places the damage done to rail

100000; Erie, 100000; other roads
