THIRTY SEAMEN
OFFER SERVICES
Force Is Put to Work With
Rescue Boats in In
dianapolis.
INA tional News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, ind, March 81
Thirty seamen from the United States
navy recruiting station volunteered
their services in the rescue work on
the stricken west side of Indianapolis,
and were put to work to man the
boats that are attempting trips across
the food waters.
The boats are carrying provisions,
blankets and other equipment to the
imprisoned people in the flooded
homes across the river.
The police have sent a number of
boats to the river below the Morris
street bridge and the passage is being
attempted from that point. 1t is a
dangerous proceeding, because of the
great amount of drift being swept
down the river. One of the logs pass
ing the levee every minute would
srush a boat like an egg shell.
J. w. Conveys, superintendent of the
Pennsylvania railroad, notified Gov
Ralston that G. L. Peck, first vice
president of the Pennsylvania, had or
dered all lines in the system to be
prepared to carry relief equipment in
to the flooded districts upon call.
The governor has $4,000 in the
treasury. which he may use for relief
work if necessary. Under a recent
law he may borrow money also in
times of emergency, and if the oc-
casion arises he will be able to provide
all the money needed to relieve the sit
uation in Indiana.

CLEWS EXHAUSTED
IN WINTERS CASE
Burns Men Have Been EN-
ployed BY Father of the
Missing Girl.
(NationaI News Association

NEW CASTLE, Ind, March 81
The police have exhausted every clew
in the Catherine Winters kidnapping
case and have now conferred their
movements on a thorough search of
the city.
Yesterday the police. with about fiji
ty men. started on a search of the dis
trict within a radius of about two
miles of the city proper. following a
dianapolis.
This woman said that she had seen
the girl in a we'll about a mile and
three-quarters out of Newcastle, and
that she was still alive. but in a weak
ened condition. Mrs. Winters, eager
TO follow up anything, Immediately
called the police department and the
officers, with a crowd of men, started
a search
DIR. Winters left this afternoon for
Cincinnati to ce the case in the
hands of the Burns Detective Agency.
1t was also his intention to have Il
consultation with Cal Grim of the Gin
cinnati detective department, as in a
telephone interview with him Satur-
day night Mr.. Grim told him that he
had every man on the force working
on the case.
There is gypsy colony near Cincin-
natl and also one near Dayton, o. The
belief that the gypsies have the girl is
still prevalent, as no other plausible
clew has yet been presented. The fact
that the girl was last seen near the
gypsy wagon and that she carried a
large handbag which gave the appear
ance of having a sum of money in it
is thought to lend credence to the
theory.
The last person who noticed the girl
was w. II. Seifert, druggist, and he
says that the child was within ten feet
of the gypsy wagon at a quarter to II
Thursday.
Early this morning the police re-
ceived a long distance call from Hol-
lansburg, O., saying that the caravan
of gypsies had arrived at that place
and that it consisted of five wagons.
When the police arrived at Hol-
lansburg they found but four wagons.
They returned to Newcastle and the
father, who had banked on the clew,
was nearly heart broken.
An entirely new cIew was present
ed this morning by DR.. Winters, but
the police take no faith in it. He said
that Vercy whistler, a brother-in-law
of his, would benefit by the girls dis
appearance, as Catharine and her
brother frankie, with the brother-in-
law, win insert $4,000 when the grand
mother, Mrs. Eliza Whistler. dies.
There is talk of the business men
closing their stores Monday so their
employees may aid in the search. All
the ministers in the city touched on
the disappearance of the girl in some
manner in their Easter sermons to-
day.

BOIL ALL WATER
palladium Specially

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March 81.
The following warning has been
issued to all health officers and cit
liens of Indiana by the Indiana
state board of health:
On account of the present flood
conditions throughout the state, the
necessity of boiling all water used
for drinking purposes is most ur-
gent. This applies equally to all
public water supplies and to all
wells. Health officers are request
ed and urged to use their utmost
endeavor to Impress upon the peo-
pie of their communities the inn
portance of this precaution. Boil
all water used for drink. no matter
what its source, not only while
present flood conditions prevail but
afterwards and until assured the
water supply is safe. A wide spread
outbreak and epidemic of typhoid
and diarrheal diseases is sure to
follow in the wake of the flood
unless this precaution is strictly
observed.

LIBERTY. Ind, March pa num-
Der of Liberty citizens who returned
this morning from Hamilton, making
the trip by automobile, say that con-
ditions in that city are far worse
than have been reported heretofore.
The Butler county capital is beyond
relief at. this time, no person being
able to get into town beyond short
distance eastward from the outskirts
of West Hamilton The surging
waters stretch eastward to the hills a
distance of at least three and one
half miles, while north and south of
town the country in inundated for
miles. The waters, however, receded
during the night and showed a depth
of ten feet lower than last night at 6
o'clock. If this fall continues the re-
lief expeditions into the town will be
able by mid-afternoon to get into the
east section of the city. On High
street in Hamilton, in the vicinity of
the court house, the water last night
is said to have been ten feet in depth,
but despite this condition of affairs it
is the belief that the loss of life has
not been as great as reported earlier
Probably one hundred lives have been
lost. The grave danger just now is
that people made homeless will suffer
from the exposure, the cold weather
this morning adding greatly to their
suffering
