DEFECTIVE LOCATES
 LOST STAMFORD GIRL

All mystery in the strange disap- pearance from her home in Stratford of Minnie Saunders, the sixteen-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Saunders of Stratford was cleared up this morning by Detective Sergeant Peter Hall, when she was located at 46 Lexington avenue and returned to the care of her family.
 While appearances of abduction for immoral purposes had stood out prominently in the case of this girl, who had been absent from her home for a period of three days after hav- ing been known to have been in the company of a Bridgeport man, em- ployed in the Masonic Temple build ing, this theory has now been dis proved.
 It was for time further heighten- ed, however, by information coming to the detective department that Min nie was staying in the Lexington ave nue district from which Mary Harris now in custody, Is believed by the po- lice to have been held by white slav- CTS.
 When Sergeant Hall visited the quarters today, it was found no re- straint had been put upon her actions but that when leaving home three nights ago, the love-Iorn girl had first gone to New York of her own vo1it1en in the hope of seeing the great White Lane, and had afterwards returned tc the home of a woman with whom both she and her family are acquainted She was preparing to return to Strat ford when the detective arrived, if she is to be believed.
 It is not likely that any further in vestigation will be made or charge. | preferred.

Adding to the Dreadful Death Toll by DrOWn- ing, Dayton's Business Section Is Threat
 with Destruction by Fire
Today Put Death List in That State Over 2,OOOHerOiC Work of ReSCueTS Inspires Whole Country

Columbus, O., March 27-With all the rivers and streams of the State sub siding today, Ohio is emerging from the greatest flood it has ever known. The loss of life will not be revealed until the swollen streams have receded into their banks and when the full account is made it is believed that the total death list for the State will run well over 2,000. The property damage proba b1y will amount to S100,- GOO GOO
 Dayton is the worst afflicted of the suffered by flood. Not only has the death loss from drowning there been extremely heavy but fire, which ragged early this morning, threatened to de stroy the business section. George F. Burba, private secretary to Gov. Cox, last night reported that the property loss would amount to $50,- COG, 600 and deaths approximate 1000.
 From all sections of the State mili- tia with food and blankets are hasten ing to the relief of the Dayton suffer CTS and it was reported last night that the advance guard was pa.trolling the principal streets in boats, checking incipient ruffianisIn.
 The appeal Of Gov. Cox for outside help has had quick response and to- day provisions, cots and supplies of all kinds are being hurried into the afflicted districts from neighboring States
 The list. of known dead in this city has been increased to F with a. miss ing list of 50, most of whom are be- lieved to have been drowned. At Delaware, the known dead mum Der 33 Sidney reports 100 dead and Tiffin 50.
 It was believed this morning that the Lewiston reservoir, which had threa tened to break during the night. had been strengthened so that no fur ther danger need be feared. Resumption of rail traffic will be made today, if possible.
 The traction officials are busy and expect to put on a partial service dur | ing the day.
 | Fearing a. typhoid epidemic. as 9. re suit of the receding waters, the State
 Health Department is making ar | rangements to clean up the larger cit | ies visited by the floods. Fifty boats 1 were ready to start at daybreak on the work of removing thousands o1 \ Imprisoned persons.
 | The National Cash Register Com pany at Dayton turned its men t6 making boats and during the day a boat was completed every IS min utes.
 Illustrating the remarkable isolation
 within the city itself was the fac1
 that the fire in the business center
 was unknown to those in the out l skirts.

WALL STREET TODAY

New York, March 27.-Opening.- The market eased off at the opening, today. All active stocks were lower, although changes in most eases were small RumeIey fell AZ to ALA, q new low price. Amalgamated, Steel, Reading, New York Central and Mis- souri Pacific receded nearly a point
 II a. m.-Initial losses were partial Iy recovered but as the buying did not follow the market up the tone soon became heavy again.
 Noon-TechnicaI conditions were more favorable to a decline today apart from the creation of bearieh sentiment by floods which melted considerable professional selling. Alp 'sence of the heavy European busi- ness of the preceding two days was another unfavorab b1e factor. Declines in standard stocks approximated point in many cases. Toward noon, however, the market turned upwards and the larger part of the losses was recovered. Bonds were irregular.
 p.m.-Flood reports were of more interest to traders than stock specu- Iation. The neglect of the market caused prices to fall again to near the low level of the morning.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 BLANCHE BEACON
Corrective Exercises Which Do Much for the
 Would Be Beauty

Do you not think it is the height of folly to travel through life with an imperfect form, when the practicing of this or that exercise daily will give one beautiful healthy body and a contented mind?
 First let me give you an exercise which will overcome that dep1orab1e defect-uneven shoulders! You sure ly do not want to resort to pads, and that is what you must do if you reject the physical culture way of attaining to even shoulders.
 Exercise for Uneven Shoulders. Sit down in a, stiffabacked chair and practice lowering your higher shouI- der for fully ten minutes then, to vary the monotony, extend the arm of the lower shoulder up while the arm on the other side is lowered, the hand meanwhile grasping a heavy hatiron. Maintain this position for four or five minutes, then call a halt
 Don't disdain these two movements, as even shoulders will add much to your good appearance.
 Now I must turn my attention to the girl whose face is covered with a crop of liver patches. Naturally she longs to be rid of them. She can have her wish, I am glad to say, if she will practice the exercise given below, as it is guaranteed to wake up the most torpid liver.
 Assume an upright position, then extend the right arm up and with the left hand reach downward, as if you were trying to grasp something. Dc i not bend your back! Next, lower right arm and raise left arm, and continue 1 in this manner, moving arms with the utmost rapid1ty.
