DEATH TOLL IN OHIO CITY MAY
 DROP TO I5O
ies in Masses of Wreckage at Dayton.

Dayton, O., March 29-Dayton awoke, this morning, wondering if the latest estimate of the number of its dead as result of the flood was accurate. With 82 bodies recovered and with nearly every section. explor- ed by lifesavings crews and newspa- permen, early estimates of tremen- dous loss of life had been cut to 15o from 200.
 After a meeting of seven-eighths of the undertakers of Dayton, last night, it was announced that a consensus of opinion at the meeting was that sev- eraI hundred were dead. At the same time they based their estimates mere ly upon general conditions and Day ton citizens, today, renewed their eff forts to explore recesses of the city to ascertain ., if their recolzning was correct. -
 Dayton faces a serious situation. The sewage water, gas and wire communications systems have been destroyed. Thousands of dead ani-s mals are lying about the streets. Two fertilizer firms began, today, to gath CT these animals. Water is being served in sprinkling wagons from the private plants of the soldiers home The sewage system cannot be used for weeks and it will be necessary to do without gas for some time. Con sidering the number of persons affect ca by the floOd there haS been com paratively little sickness. The. cold weather has caused great suffering among those marooned without food, water or heat but in the end 1t was proved a blessing. Efforts were made today, to clear away debris in sec tions where flood water had run off and it was feared bodies might be found in these masses of wreckage. With well organized crews doing this
 work, others took food to persons still marooned in R1verdale and North Dayton. It was believed, however, that by nightfau, most of these peo- pie could get out, so rapidly was the
 water receding. Trainloads of food came from several directions today. Train communication being establish ed with the north several relief trains came in bearing varied assortments of needed materials.

BISHOP PERRY
 TELLS OF FLOOD
His Train Had Just Crossed Bridge As Ohio Structure
 Collapsed

New Haven, March 29-Bishop James De Wolf Perry of Rhode Island, formerly rector of St. Pauls Church of this city and the first person to district of central Ohio, describes the scenes he saw.
 Bishop Perry was in Columbus at the conservation of Coadjutor Bishop Theodore I. Reese, and left that city on the first available train after the close Of the ceremonies. He said:
 E"The first intimation that we had of our danger was very forsfbIe one. While still in our berths early Tues day morning we were awakened by be- ing violently thrown about
 tEWhen the train had stopped and inquiries were made as to the cause of our trouble it was learned that the bridge we had just crossed had com pIeteiy collapsed. This was at New London, about sixty miles from Co., Iurnbus All the rest of the journey we were in constant fear of a repet1- tion of the experience.
 "On our arrival at Columbus we saw nothing to indicate the coming disas- ters except a hard rain. We went di- rectly to the church and it was dur ing the consecration service that Gov Cox called out the State militia. Late that afternoon the real trouble began. The Scfoto and Olentangy rivers, swollen and raging, came down on the
  ous stream.
 sarhe water was pouring over the huge storage dam twelve feet deep, and all the while terrific thunder storm was raging. The thunder was not the long, drawn out kind, but came in quick, sharp reports, like shots from a, monster cannon. s"To make the disaster more terri ble, all the water and light in the city were shut off, and as evening ap- preached the darkness became awful. From the housetopS we could hear the shrfeks and cries Of the stricken, but ou1. eyesight. could not penetrate into the darkness extending over the wide torrent of black water. Not a street car was running, not street lamp ! was shining and we could only imag- inc what was taking place along the river front.
 About o'clock one of the army officers, directing the rescue work, 1 visited US and described some of the | narrowing scenes he had witnessed l down the river, houses torn from their [ foundations and hairbreadth escapes l from death.
 1 "AIl the families along the river | were clinging to the houserops ana many were swept away. The soldiers | attempted to reach the refugees, but | the swift current prevented and not | until morning was any rescue Work l possible. Then the current apa1eo and many were picked up from the housetops, some in the. last stages of ! exhaustion.
 l '"We left Columbus Wednesday noon and threaded our way along the sub l merged tracks. In some places we had to leave the train and cross or l wooden foot bridges. Ohio resembled a State of bays and gulfs for the
 flat, non-porous soil held the water perfectly.
 1 Before we reached Cleveland the news came that the Columbus storage dam had broken. The extent of the
 damage done by this new calamity
 can't be judged, and Gov. Cox ex-
 pressed the situation exactly when he
 said that it was one of the most ter
 rible disasters in the history of tht Stata.'

FLOOD AFFECTS YALE
Many Students Unable To Get Back
 From Easter Vacation.

The results of the Ohio flood are making themselves felt a thousand miles away at Yale in the form of decidedly depleted classes and a gen. era1 gloom on the campus. Although it was announced that cuts taken inn mediately before or after vacation would be counted double, many men were not discouraged by the new rule, but deliberately remained in their western homes over time, with the result that they are now practically unable to return at all. In fact all the students who spent Easter week west of Cincinnati are now blocked off from intercourse with Yale, and it may be several days before the un- willing absentees are again with their classma ates. In the undergraduate de- partments of the university some of the classes have thus seriously been handicapped by the disaster.

ANOTHER READER, IN FAR-OFF
WASHINGTON rs ANXIOUS TO
KNOW THE LEEFS.

Dear Sir: Will you please send
me sample copy of your Jefferso-
MIA? I have just succeeded in locat-
ing you from reading the present
copy of the Liberator; been wanting
to do SO for some time; didn't know
just where you lived; knew it was in
Georgia; cause everybody knows
Tom Watson lives in Georgia, but
didn't know just what town. But
still I suppose a letter addressed to
Tom Watson, Georgia, would have
caught you. You must be putting
up fine fight, I hear a rumbling
noise and know what's going on, but
can't see the battle, and am itching
to get in, SO want your paper. This
great fight is getting closer and
closer, I begin to smell the powder,
and it's going to be world shaker.
We had better bring on the battle
now rather than await the enemy's
time, and when he has moved up into
just the positions he wants, I wish
We had a hundred times as many
men like you, as we have to sound
the alarm and call the friends of lib
erty to arms; then enough would see
the danger, and force the fighting at
once.
May your power and your tribe in
crease. Receive my congratulations
on your success in the court the 9TH
er day. You made a fine argument.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN HAMBLY.

FROM ONE OF OUR TEXAS
FRIENDS.
FRIENDS.

Dear Sir: Greetings in your sue
cess in combating the evils of our
country. They are beginning to take
interest in each county, and I think
there will be an upheavel during the
next four years. The last jeff was
surely fine, and when such news as
it contained becomes known to more
of our people, it will open their eyes.
| would like to see some laws en-
acted that Wcnld reach the Knights
OF Columbus anG the nunneries. I
think l can see i'll the influence of
the Hierarchy in Texas, and think
this would be good time to agitate
the matter in Texas, if we could get
some of our people to take hold; it
will not be a hard matter to arouse
the Texas people to their duty. 1t
does seem a hard matter for our
people to learn the difference be-
tween the Hamiltonian Democrat and
the Jeffersonian Democrat, but as
long as We look to slick tongues and
soft hands we will remain heWers of
wood and drawers of water.

Good Advice To Rheurnatics.

If you want a permanent cure of
rheumatism, you must correct the
cause in the body which creates Rheu-
matism. Powerful drugs relieve for a
time, but the bodily Irregularities keep
on working unless checked by proper
correctives. Thus repeated attacks
finally cause chronic Rheumatism.
Bodi-Tone permanently cures such dis
orders by correcting the bodily condi-
tions which cause them. You can try
