We, your committee. appointed to in

We therefore offer the following res
olutions:
Be it resolved, First, That we rec
ommend that something be done ut
once to relieve these conditions.
Second. That other buildings be sit
uated in East Americas and Brooklya
Heights so that the young people will
not be compelled to walk SO great 4
distance.
Third, That we use our influence
and call upon the voters Of Americus
to go to the polls and vote for the
school bonds SO that the proper ofn-
cials can begin at once to make these
necessary improvements.

WATERS BURST THROUGH LEvEE
SPREADING DEATH AND CHAOS
Dayton, Ohio, Visited by Disastrous
Mayor and Twenty Citizens.
niCatiOn Cut Off From Ohio.

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 25.-The city
OF Dayton, according to long distance
telephone messages received here, 's
under many feet of water, scores Cf
lives are reported lost, the entire popu-
1ation is homeless and property dam
age far into the millions will result
from breaks in the levees along the
Miami river, which turned the angry
waters of that stream into the city at
8 o'clock this morning. The telegraph
wires are all down and only a few
telephone wire lines remain, over
which news from the doodswept city
may be gained A terrible catastrophe
is threatened.
Rising floods bearing tons of de-
bris, are hurting their weight against
the big concrete bridges that span the
Miami river. Trains are at stand
still, as many miles of tracks are un-
der water. Traction cars stand life
less, unable to navigate the lakes that
were once their right of way.
Below the city vast areas are seas
of yellow. Telegraph service is Grip
pied, all sorts of communication al
most impossible, and if the stream,
urged on by the seemingly incessant
rain, continues to rise, Dayton will
have experienced it's first great city,
wide disaster.

FANS SHOULD
CONE ACROSS
WITH HALF
OF THE MONEY NOW PLEDGED
For Support Of the Baseball
Team Here

Collection of the money that has
been pledged for the baseball team
this summer has been progressing fair
ly we'll, according to President Frank
Lanier, of the local club, but the fans
should come across with half of the
money they pledged in order to meet
the heavy expenses that necessarily
come to the management of the team in
starting the season off.
A little more than $4,000 has been
pledged by the fans, yet of this amount
not even $1,000 has been collected up
to date. With 81 500 in hand, the team
will be able to start the season in
good shape and meet the expenses in
cident to the securing of uniforms, the
repair of the baseball park and the
other necessities in the way of paying
transportation and expenses of the men
who will be members of the Americas
team.
The collector was busy yesterday go
ing the rounds for the ball club, and
he will be on the job again today, Mr..
Lanier asks that the fans respond a
little more literally to the call for coin
and make up at least half of the total
sum pledged now. He believes that this
viii be done within the next few days,
before the seasons practice opens.

ordered an election for bonds for the
purpose of building new schools and
reconstructing or improving those we
have, and,
Whereas, Washington Camp, No. a

make it imperative that relief be af-
forded at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Hear our plea for the children

DEAD And DYING

MORE BODIES ARE RESCUED
Snow Adds to DeSOIatiOR at
Omaha

Omaha, Neb., March 25. SILVER
ing from cold, but awe-inspired by
the nature of their work, scores Of
men. women and children this morn
ing struggled in the snow to recover
the dead, or rescue the injured and
dying who lay buried beneath the
wreckage of homes and buildings,
crushed by the tornado which Sunday
swept with death-dealing force over
Iowa and Nebraska, killing more than
$50 persons in Omaha alone
Latest reports this morning give
the number of injured at 800, while
the death list has been increased over
the night report of 202.
The snow storm, which seriously is
hampering rescue work, began shortly
after midnight and continued with
gathering force. More than three
inches of snow covers the debris a
the section of the city which was
struck by the wind.
Priyations of the storm sufferers
are being increased by the heavy
snow storm following so closely in
the storms wake. Women tugging at
heavy beams, hoping against hope
to find the bodies of dear ones near
the wreckage; men gruffly cheering
their sorrowful mates and weeping
children drapped about with shaw.s
and blankets were drab colors in the
scenes which were revealed by dawn
to the federal soldiers patrolling the
afflicted territory.
City officials distributed clothing
and other necessities among the suf-
ferers.
More than $4,000 has been SUP
scribed to relief fund-$25,000 5y
the city commissioners and an equal
amount by citizens
The injured at hospitals are receiv-
ing the best possible attention. Ply
sicians of Omaha and Council Bluffs
have volunteered their services and
trained nurses have willingly fol-
lowed the example of the physicians
Those patients who have shown i'm
provement today will be moved from
temporary hospitals to places pro-
vided by city officials.
Injured Are Homeless:
Most of the injured are homeless,
thes torn having destroyed their
abodes.
Many of the patients whose condi-
tions are considered more or less crit
ical have not been told of the COM
plete loss which the tornado made Of
their property.
The snow, which, according to re-
ports, is falling blizzard-like from
Colorado to Central Iowa, has seri-
ously interfered with the slender
thread of Geographic communication
established from Omaha. Practically
no information has been obtainable
from the devastated sections of Ne
braska and Iowa. The fact that a4cA
intense suffering is being caused here
by the present storm in spite of he
roic efforts made by the city to pro-
vide or and protect all who have been
made dependent on it, caused Cover
nor Moorehead to fear that the condi-
tions within the state are in depIorl-
Bile shape. He stated that he would
hasten action before the state legis-
lature to secure sufficient funds fo3
the immediate care of storm victims.
Sixteen additional bodies were taken
from a pool hall this morning, making
the total thus far recovered from that
place thirty-one. The building, after
being wercked by the tornado, caught
fire from an overturned stove and was
burned.

which remained and read them. They
all ran. he says. as follows:
