SENSATIONAL WAR OF THE UNDERWORLD
BREAKS OUT ON SOUTH SIDE

DNEANS w
War has broken out in the South
Side underworld.
A fight rivaling that of the motor
ious feud on the East Side in New
York, which eliminated in the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal, is in prog
ress in the bad lands of our own city.
An enmity between two politically
strong saloonkeepers is said to be
behind the vendetta.
Saturday morning, August 80, jim
my Kelly, gangster, was found NOR
tally wounded in front of his home,
2300 S. Wabash avenue.
Kelly, who was also known as
Fletcher, was formerly leader of the
stockyards gang. When the feud be-
tween the two saloonkeepers broke
Jimmy drifted away from the old
gang.
He formed the Archer avenue
gang. Then the fight began. Kelly
knew the stockyards gang was after
him. The word had gone out. But
he Haunted them. He went careless
ly through the streets.
The night before he was shot down
Jimmy, in hilarious mood, met
some of the bunch" But he was
feeling good and he joined the enc
my's party in a downtown cafe.
The stockyards gang had made a
killing in a crab game. And they in
sisted on buying drinks.
Then they insisted on driving jim
my home. The party got into the
big machine and went on. When they
arrived in front of his house two of
the men helped him out. A curse was
heard, something flashed and Jimmy
fell to the ground.
Jimmy's young wife, standing in
the window, heard the shot. She
understood. They had kept their
word. They had gotten Jimmy. She

Garrison Wires That !,
He Will Not Reach
Ohio Before Tonight

Secretary of War Garrison does not
expect to reach the flooded district OF
Ohio before tonight. He sent a teIe-
gram to his department. which was re-
ferred TO President Wilson. in which
he said that washouts on the first two
routes undertaken had compelled de-
tours. and that the train was then pro-
ceeding to Cincinnati via Kenova. The
road, according to the information then
available. was still open as far as Gin
cinnati.
President Wilson had not determined
today whether he would so to Ohio,
hut it is extremely doubtful that he
will undertake the trip. Secretary Of
War Garrison advised against the trip
when the question was taken up in
conference yesterday. and the Presi-
dent will not go unless he receives
word from the Cabinet official that his
presence in Ohio Is needed.

Il shall do anything and everything
In my power to help the sufferers"
Secretary Garrison said this afternoon.
Exactly what course will be pursued
/ cannot tell until we reach Ohio.
There are many little details to be
worked out before then. however. These
we are getting out of the way as
rapidly as possible. The orders are be-
ing flashed by wireless, and we hope
that we shall find them executed by the

vastated districts, even IL boats must
be used. It was stated this afternoon
that in the event the special train is

service, and the official party will lose
but little time in getting to the center
of the flooded districts.
The train bearing Secretary Garrison.
Gen. Leonard Wood, and others to the
scene of the food was forced to make
a detour far to the south of the original
route on account of the many washouts
along the line Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad.
At Charlottesville word was received
that Chilicothe was cut of by the flood
and that the C. and o. could not make
the trip on account of washouts. The
Secretarys party left the c. & o. at
Basic City and boarded a Norfolk and
Western train for Roanoke. the route
now planned is by Norfolk and Western
down through southwest Virginia to
Kenoya and thence up to Columbus IL
possible.
The War Department was advised of
the change in route early today in
telegram from Secretary Garrison
which told of the washouts and the
change to the more southern road.
1t Is feared that the special will not
reach Cincinnati till tomorrow morn
ing, although the road was reported
clear at 80 o'clock this afternoon.
Secretary Garrison Is real general.
He awoke today in Virginia at O'Clock
after two hours sleep ready to manase
the great work before him. All night
the Secretary watched the messages
that seeped in from Ohio and the Ma
tional Capital. Discouraging blcckades
did not daunt him.

President WILSON,
The Hope Special was the victim of
floods before getting out of Virginia.
An eleven rail washout at Clifton
Forge last night caused a holdup and
counter run from Basic City to Char
lottesville, from which place change
was made to the Northfolk and West
ern road.

retary Garrison took charge of the
situation with a hand of iron. Block
ed wires halted him, but he won out
in his transfer plans by sheer perser-
verence.
Never say die is his motto. While

would listen to no talk of going back

Fears That He Had Been
Marooned in Ohio.

The Secretary of State, who passed
almost within sight of the flooded area
OF Ohio. returned to his Offices today
after a weeks absence from Washing
ton. Mr.. Bryan reached Washington
last night. and his arrival put at rest
many inquiries from friends who feared
he had been marooned in passing
through Ohio.
Il noticed the river was high when we
came through Akron said Secretary
Bryan, but We had no difficulty en-
our trip eastward. I did not see the
work OF the flood. and have no details
regarding the loss Of life and property
except such as ] have seen in the
papers"
Mr.. Bryan expressed his qualification
that the Federal Government was doing
everything in its power TO relieve the
suffering, and that Secretary Garrison
and several army officials had been sent
to the stricken section.

fit entertainment will be given in

and personal one. His sister and broth

A statement purported to come from
Chief of Police Allaback that he esti-
mates the loss of life at more than
$50 IL not accepted by other prominent
men who have been in close touch
with the situation. Allaback's esti
mate is based upon a boat trip to a
part of the submerged section, where
he saw no floating bodies.
George Burba, secretary to Governor
Cox, estimates the loss of life at
1000. John T. Patterson, head of tie
relief work. was emphatic in his esti-
mate that 500 have died. There were
thirteen bodies in the morgue early
this morning.
According to W G. Doty, who was
rescued from the Beaver Power build
ing, at Fourth and St. Clair streets,
on the edge of the fire zone, only one
death had resulted from the fire
Doty's report is at variance with estt-
mates fixed by others who are close
witnesses. Some assert the flames
took zoo lives.
Refugees Crowd Institutions.
Every institution in South Dayton
is crowded with refugees and hundreds
have been cared for in private homes.
Although the relief committee says
The Washington times., 1913-03-28

there has been no communication with
North Dayton and Riverdale, there Is
an unsubstantiated report that rescue
parties and relief from cities in the
northern part of the State has reached
them. According to one story, a car
load of provisions and thirty-two men
for relief work arrived on the west
side of the river from Detroit. 1t Is

lieved to have taken its greatest toll
