Hundreds Trapped in
Burning Buildings.

Hundreds are trapped in the burning
buildings, with no alternative but to
leap to death in the raging waters when
the flames reach them.
Ghouls who have tried to loot and
plumber the wrecked and abandoned
homes have met with summary treat
ment from the soldiers rushed from,
neighboring Ohio cities. The orderI
was given to permit no one to roam
about the ruins who could not give a
satisfactory explanation of his pres
ence. IL any resistance is made, the
soldiers are commanded to shoot to
kill" The rigid regulations of a mar
tial law have checked the first mani
festations of disorder that threatened
to throw the city into a turmoil Of
fear.
The Grand reservoir, whose bursting
has caused so many new terrors, is ten
miles long and over several miles wide
at different parts. Billions of gallons Of
water are released by the break.
There is no way to estimate the dam

reservoir. It is predicted that For,
Wayne will become another Dayton. as
Il stands al the confluence OF the swo,-
len current of the St Joe river ard

tidal wave is sweeping toward the city.
Telegrams have been sent to Fort

inhabitants Of the impending disaster.
but communication is so difficult that
there is no way of determining if the
messages have reached their destina-
ton

imminent bursting OF the Lewiston

out Indiana and Ohio to a far more ap-
palling degree.
Meanwhile the hourly reports from
Dayton are adding to the horror of ths
situation. 1t is still impossible TO esu-
mate accurately the number of dead,
injured and homeless.
The numbers of those who have been
swept away and drowned In the devas-
tating flood or escaping the swollen
waters have met death in the fires
which have struck up here and there
and are sweeping the city can be esti-i
mated with no greater accuracy to-day,
than yesterday.
A whole hotilla of motor boats has
been shipped TO Dayton to aid in the
work of rescue, but the force of the.
torrent is so great that it has been al
most impossible to launch the boats.
Snow and bitter cold have added to
the terror caused by the fire and water,
and suffering among the survivors s
intense. Whole sections of Dayton are
gouged out and swept away. The big.
gest buildings in the path Of the flood
have disintegrated, tottered and fallen,

HE WANTED $4,000
, Would Get Blind Drunk

A whimsically humorous pam
handler, lettering I'm Pioneer
square, Seattle, one day last week,
encountered DIR. w. A. Moore,
pastor of the First Christian
church, of this city.
DIR. Moore was dressed to look
the part of a homeless, jObiess
man, in SLOUGH hat, faded blue
flannel shirt, old trousers and
rusty shoes.
"Pardner," said the whimsi-
cally humorous panhandler, lend
me 100000"
Certainly" said the clergy
man pleasantly, entering into the
joke. We'll go to the bank now
and get it. But, first, tell me
what you will do with the money
when you get it,"
Then all the humor went out OF
the strangers eyes.
"Do?" he said. what would
I do if 1 had 10000? Don't you
know what I'd do, pardner? why,
I'd get drunk-blind drunk-and
I'd go to hell tonight"
"He meant 1t too" DIR. Moore
said today. "That is what he
would have done"
Ten days ago, at the commence
ment of his vacation, DIR. Moore
packed an outfit of old clothes in
bag and disappeared.
81 went to Seattle and engaged
room for rs cents a day." he
explained. 81 made Seattle my
headquarters. From there
made trips to other Sound towns.
I mingled with the crowds along
the waterfronts, in the saloons,
the lodging houses, the parks
and breathing spaces.
"Why? Because want to get
better acquainted with folks.
want to find out why SO many
folks don't come to church. !
am in the position of the mer-
chant who isn't getting as much
business from his territory as he
has a right to expect. am not
out selling. l am studying my
market.
"First of all, found that folks
are sociable. Second, l found that
they are discouraged. And fin
ally I found that they are proud.
81 dared not disclose my iden-
tity. l dared not preach. If !
had I would have been civilly
treated, but l would have won no
condolences, read no hearts.
1.-THE man who asked for a
$4,000 loan-I suspect he would
have accepted two-bit one-was
fairly typical. He had run a
store back east for 25 years. Had
got the gold fever and gone to
Alaska. Had made money one
year, lost it all the next, and re-
turned to the States, broke and
without hope.
"An old friend had loaned him
$25, he had gone on a drunk and
had just finished spending 1t.
And he knew that, given money,
he would ket drunk again, and
again-'and go to hell tonight.

time To BEGIN
CUTTING DOWN
SAYS MEADS

II Pete HcHugh wins his law
suit now on appeal to the supreme
court and gets what the estimates
says he should have on the Green
river WORK, and George Wright Is
paid what the estimates on his
work calls for. then the city will
lack about $121,455 of having
enough cash to pay all Green riv-
er bills. according to a financial
statement given the council by
Controller Meads today.
II the city wins against Nc
Hugh as 1t did in the lower court
then this will be cut $4,000 and
the city will be short only &c.,
600. II the hypochlorite plant is
not constructed this will cut off
another $4,000, bringing the
deficit down to $4,000 and in or
der to come out even this will
have to be cut off the George
Wright bill, which, according to
the estimates of the engineers,
should be $117,0S8.
The report of the controller
shows the following figures on the
different sections of the Green
river work:
wright-Paid $726.22o; due,
$117,0sS.
McHugh-Paid, $4S1, 693; due,
$69,366
Markham & Byrne-Paid $780,
315; due, $16,741.
| City day labor-Paid, $397,93S.
This shows there has been paid
already on the Green river work
81, ! 36,8S6 and the estimates OF
the engineers OF the WORK done
and not paid for amount to $780,
315. And there is on hand to
cash up just $119,556.
Controller Meads suggested
that it was time to begin cutting
down expenses on the Green river
office force. Commissioner Law
son has two engineers and an Of
flee man and stenographer all
working yet on the Green river
figures and bookkeeping. Meads
said this force could be cut If the
bookkeeping were done by the
regular clerical force of Commits
sioner Lawson.

MAYOR SEYMOUR SORE
AT MEADS' CRITICISM
OFLOOSE BOOKKEEPING

Meads, like a benzine can him
self always ready to explode with
very little heat, was calm in the
presnec of the gathering storm.
He had come up to report on
the Green river financial situa-
ton. In the discussion and ex-
PLANTATION he took occasion to sug-
gest that the bills ought to all
go through the water office for
tie work on the watershed, as he
could not tell anything about the
reports from the mayors office.
II have not been able to get
any statement showing the situa-
tion," he said.
well, we can get you a state
ment any time you want It," said
the mayor.
II have had it up with your
secretary time and again and
showed him what we want, and
he has been unable to give it to
us, and l want to say I cannot tell
what money is being spent from
the water fund on this work, +"
said Meads.
1--WE can give you any informa-
ton you want" insisted the
mayor.
II know you can't, and I'll bet
money you cannot get up report
that will show it."
Then is when the mayor began
to warm up, and Meads, noting
the storm, crawled into the
cyclone cellar.
The rest of the commissioners
rather enjoyed it.
The mayor had found fault
with the way Lawson, was clean
ing up the watershed, SO Lawson
told him to do it himself, and the
work has been under the mayor
now for some time. And now the
controller says he cannot tell
what the mayor is doing.
The mayor insisted it was going
all right. Lawson said he was
satisfied, but Meads declared the
bookkeeping was 80 lax no one
could tell what was doing.
The matter dropped, with moth
ing done one way or the other.

Then he needs faith. But the

In this Northwest many thous-

Mayor Seymour is generally
amiable and of equable temper.
But when his voice began to
rise toward the falsetto, his lips
began to tighten over his teeth,
his complexion assumed a flushed
aspect, the commissioners this
morning knew that his angry pas
sions were rising.

here and make a show of it to
