A Doctor
Tells of
His Trip

DR.. Mora Bulla returned to Rich
mond last night from trip to Dayton
made via automobile. Most of the au-
tomobiles that made the trip to the
stricken city yesterday followed cir
cuitous routes in order to avoid wash
outs in the roadways, but DIR. Bulla fol-
lowed the Dayton and Eaton turn
pike all the way, with the exception of
short strip just east of Richmond
near the Sycamore valley school house
where he was forced to turn north and
take to the right-of-way OF the trac-
ton company. No difficulties of con-
sequence were met with and the party
reached West Dayton in comparatively
quick time.
I'VE got down into the city as far as
Euclid avenue" said DIR. Bulla to the
Palladium last night, land this was
several blocks west of the river,
though as a matter of fact everything
is river there now and for distance
of three miles east from the flood line
in West Dayton there is nothing but
water. i met and talked with DR..

active member of the Dayton relief
committee. / was informed by DR..
Swisher that the committee had no
evidence of great loss of life. at least
insofar as could be determined from
West Dayton. Twelve dead bodies
were all that the committee had re

What will be revealed when the water
recedes sufficiently to get into East
Dayton is of course speculation. DR.
Lane, health officer of West Dayton,
was of the same opinion as DR.. Swish
er with regard to the loss of life.
"The relief work is progressing well
and boats are bringing refugees from
the east side as fast as possible. So
far as the residents of West Dayton
are concerned there appeared to be
little suffering and DIR. Lane, the
health officer of West Dayton. told me
that there was no shortage of food sup

LARGE DRUG STORE
IN DAYTON BURNS

DAYTON, Ohio, (4:20 p. m.-Lieu-
tenant Purcell at the Third Precinct
station at Dayton. said:
I'VE have telegraphed Gov. Cox at
Columbus, o., by way of Eaton, Ohio,
to save Dayton from the destruction by
fire which threatens us. The gas
mains are broken and leaking, and the
gas is collecting in the buildings. We
have one large fire on here now, and
no way of fighting it. IL the gas can
be shut off, we may stop the fires, as
this is the cause of them.
Gov. Cox, We have just heard from
Eaton" said Purcell, "has telegraphed
to the West Virginia fields to tell them
to cut off the gas at the wells. This
may save Dayton.
"A big fire is now raging in the
Burkhart drug store, one square east
| of Third and jefferson avenues, the
main corner of the city. This fire is
being fought by the firemen, but with
boats in which to work. The rain is
now falling again, adding to the diff.
| ficulty of the work. Il Il
