STAFF was kept busy.
The absence of motor boats has
been a cause of great suffering. Hand
propelling boats could not navigate
the water. With appeals for motor
boats Cleveland responded with
several boats. Cincinnati also sent
some. Upon the arrival of these
crafts the rescue work went on rapid
ly. Narrowing tales are told in con-
nection with rescue work already done.
A boy, pitched by his mother from
the roof to a bOatman who was having
difficulty in keeping the craft steady,
was missed by the rescu9rs and was
drowned. The mother was saved.
Early Report From Chicago.
Chicago, Ills. March 27.-Estimates
Of the loss of life by floods in Ohio and
Indiana were still inaccurate early to-
state might increase the total TO -
minimum by the most conservative.
Other estimates, which included
rumors of a large loss of life in towns
and cities shut off from communica-
ton run as high as 1000.
Governor Cox of Ohio said late last
night, it was believed that over 1000
people perished in Dayton alone and
the loss Of life in other parts of the
state might increase the total TO o.
900 or perhaps more.
The latest reports from Piqua, o.,
place the number of dead there at 500.
but there is no confirmation of this re-
port Fires were raging in various
parts of Dayton all night and 1t is
feared that many of those marooned In
buildings in the inundated district were
burned to death. The waters, in most
of the flood district, are receding, but
there is great difficulty in reaching the
refugees in the buildings on account OF
the swift current.
Many gasoline launches were rushed
into the flooded district to be used in
rescue work. In Indiana the estimates
of the total number Of dead run from
200 to 1000.
Train Traffic Delayed.
There is no Improvement in train
service through the flood districts OF
Ohio and Indiana today. The Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern and the
Michigan Central continue to maintain
a train schedule between Chicago and
New York, while the Wabash and
Grand Trunk ran few trains al
though nearly all were late.
Blizzard is Raging.
A blizzard is reported raging in

Yesterday Afternoon
Chas. E. Batcheller Of Fingal
Named President

A complete organization of the

President-Charles e. Batcheller,
Fingal,
Vice President-J. H. Shepperd,

industry and to interest the travelling
fraternity, public officials, bankers,
professional men, and business men of
the northwest in the opportunities for
business building by the development
of the dairy and livestock business.
As was stated In The Forum of yes
terday the first steps towards this or
ganization were taken at effe aconven-
ton of the North Dakota Dairymen's
association held at Valley City in
February and the organization al
ready has a membership Of forty five,

Dayton, O., March 27.-A small por-
tion of Dayton's citizens today, from
their refuge, the highest point in the
city, awaited anxiousIy to learn the
fate of at least $1,000 of the city's in
habitants, who are hemmed in by the
raging flood and menaced by fire.
Although only a little over a mile
from where it is feared there has been
great loss of life, hundreds of willing
men and women looked on helplessly.
Even during the early hours of the
third day of the food any estimate of
the number that perished would be
mere guess work.
Numerous fires have sprung up since
the water from the bursting reservoir
penncd in tens of thousands, but the
worst blaze started late yesterday and
this morning is still claiming a toll of
property and doubtless many lives. AL
though the water from swollen streams
hinders the fire somewhat, it has slow
ly been creeping upon the outlying
sections of the city for hours.
The catastrophe which resulted SO
seriously came within thirty minutes
after the bursting of the Tarleton res
ervoir, and the streets soon became
basins for swelling torrents in which
boats could not live. The water is
now going down rapidly.
The fire today was grim menace.
Seen by field glasses from the top of
a tall building q mile away the blaze
appeared to have started in tho Pat
terson Supply Co.'s plant. The fire
burned to the northwest for time and
then shifted directly to the west. II
has been conservatively estimated that
$50 persons were marooned in the
Becknel hotel, which is believed to
have burned.
1t is expected the submerged por-
tions of the city will be explored by
night.
1t is reported from the vicinity OF
Lewiston, seventy miles from here, that
the huge reservoir is expected to break
at any time. If so. the disaster will be
greatly increased. The city is under
martial law, and last night a thief
caught robbing the homes of food
victims, was shot by the national
guardsmen.
Food and supplies are being supplied
by outside cities, as well as doctors
and nurses.
Unlike other cities heretofore over
whelmed by flood, Dayton has few
representative citizens to relieve the
victims. 1t is impossible to communi-
cate with the mayor or other city Of

the population of 10000 are hemmed
in by water.
The relief work is being done well
by small coterie of citizens in the
southeast part Of the city who hap
pened not to be caught In the business
section where the flood suddenly made
egress from the buildings impossible.
The relief is in charge of J. III. Patter-
son, president OF the National Cash
Register CO. The cash register plant
is the only structure Of Importance
not seriously affected by the flood or
fire and today over 1000 refugees are
receiving medical attention and food
at the plant, which has been turned
into huge hospital and lodging
house.
Until today the relief measures ex-
ceeded the requirements but only be-
cause 1T was impossible to rescue the
thousands of marooned inhabitants.

AID FLOOD
SUFFERERS

All the citizens of Fargo are gener-
ously coming to the aid of the flood
sufferers in Ohio and Indiana. Num-
erOus private contributions have been
made to the funds being raised by The
Fargo Forum and The Courier News,
the Fargo local No. 382 of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians and the
Dakota Conservatory of Music have
rendered their services, the CONNER
cial club is receiving contributions and
the Ohio society will meet this eve
ming to devise ways and means to as
sist the sufferers in their own state.
President Baernstein of the Musi-
clans federation rendered the servic-
es of that body to Mayor Sweet asking
the city executive to name a commit
tee of citizens to act iS cooperation
with the Ohio society in giving a ben
eft promenade concert and entertain
ment for the sufferers relief
Replying to Mr., Baernstein's gener-
GUS offer Mayor Sweet this noon
named a committee to organize a

cred to the commercial club of Fargo
for the benefit of the flood sufferers.

John r. Mott, the Young Mems
Christian association leader, whom
President Woodrow Wilson has asked
to accept the post of minister to China,
is one of the most valiant fighters of
this world wide movement. Once he
refused, but the president repeated his
request. Lately thA president repeated
his offer, and Mr.. Mott, who is in the
interior of Corea, has not been heard
from.
The particular. reason why President
Wilson desired Mott as the next min
lister to China lies right on the surface.
No other man has had quite his reIa-
tion to the student body of China,
which is the ruling caste nuder the
republic. Mott paid his first visit to
China in 1885. He was then engaged
in whipping the foreign missions move
ment into form. Mott doesn't believe
the missionaries should be an army of
occupancy. Rather they should be
swift conquerors. The captured land
should be garrisoned by it's own people.
He always develops native leadership.
1t is the Mott idea thai is very largely
responsible for the change in the for
eign missions movement in the past
two decades.
He studied the student conditions at
! that time. In his subsequent visits
| in 1901 and 1907. as well as in the pres
| ent year-he has continued that study
He became Intimately acquainted with
the moderns of China, those Student
leaders who overturned the Manchll
monarchy by the mere power of
thought
