OVERESTIMATE DEATHS
Reports from Cincinnati Are That

Total 500.

Cincinnati, March 2S.-The flood
waters receded sufficiently last night
to show that the number of persons
drowned in all the affected cities in
Ohio and Indiana may not exceed
500. While many persons are still
missing to friends and relatives, in
vestigations today indicated many
are safe who were thought lost.
In Dayton careful estimates places
the number of deaths at 200 or low
er, although the undertakers assert
ed the total will reach 500. Colum-
bus will have the next largest loss.
Sixty bodies have already been recoy-

of so dead at Mount Vernon nor 32

DISEASE is THREATENED
Loss of Life Reports DwindIing, But
PestilenCe Threatens Flooded
Districts.

Indianapolis, March 2S.-Indiana's
flood death toll remains uncertain
tonight with all reports confirming
more the conservative estimates of
loss of life. Panic is attacking the
cities in the southern valleys of the
White and Wabash rivers and all
along the Ohio as the rising waters
threaten repetitions of the upstate
horrors.
Sunshine and disappearing waters
relieved the sufferers in the cities
that have been flooded, but the au-
thorities at various localities face a
great problem in fighting off dis
ease. Refugees are demanding in
sistently that they be allowed to re-
turn to their devastated homes.
West indianapolis and Peru were
placed under the strictest quarantine
today. Serious sickness among Peru
refugees today threatened a greater
loss of life than caused by the flood.
The indianapolis board of health
has quarantined West Indianapolis
tonight after ejecting hundreds of
persons who entered the flooded dis
trict since noon when Mayor Shank
opened the Oliver avenue and West
Michigan street bridges to the public.
Sixteen bodies were found in
Brookville and six more are missing
today. Peru rescuers report the death
list there will not exceed 25 and
some believe it will be less No bod
les were found in West Indianapolis
after a diligent all-day search, but
rescue workers assert they saw
number of drowned and believe they
were swept down the river.

Dayton, March 27.-All but few
of the thousands who have been ma

flooded Dayton since Tuesday morn

brought out late today by the Asso-
ciated Press representative, the first
to succeed in penetrating as far
north as the Big Miami river which
runs through the center of the town.
According to the chief OF police,
except for a possible los of life on
the north side of the river, there will
not be more than 1000 dead in Day.
ton. The worst condition found was
near the center of the flood district,
where 60 prisoners in the workhouse
have not had a drop of water nor a
bit of food since Tuesday.
The men revolted Tuesday night
and demanded their liberty and a
chance to fight for their lives Since
then the prison has been a mad
house, according to Superintendent
Johnson.
The prisoners fought repeatedly
with Johnson and threatened to kill
both him and his family. Johnson
asked for troops to be assigned to
handle the men, whom he declared
would have to be shot if they es-
capped from their cells.
No word has been heard of Mayor
Phillips. The chief of police has
been unable to get near Phillips
house and it is net known whether
the mayor is dead or alive.

Although heartened by the news
from the flood zone, Mr.. Burbs, the
governors secretary, was scarcely
able to credit the assertion. From
his own observation of the southern
district he was unable to believe the
death list would be under 1900. 1t
was impossible to approach within
couple of blocks of the fire zone in
the canoe, but there appeared every
indication the Beckel House had not
been burned.

to Helena street has been penetrated

crowded to the second floors or roofs
and but few of the more stable
buildings were washed away.
