ohloIa Dead .Number 2.ooo.

Columbus, March 27-With Ohio
rivers and streams subsiding today,
the state is emerging from the great
est flood it has ever known.
When the full account is made, it
is believed the total death list for
the state will run well over 1000 and
the property damage win amount to
$1OO,OOOOOO.
Dayton is the worst affected of the
many cities swept by the floods. Not
only has the death loss from drown
ing there been extremely heavy, but
fire, which ragged unchecked early
this morning, threatened to destroy
the business sections. George Burba,
private secretary to Governor Cox,
made hazardous trip to Dayton and
last night reported that the property
loss would amount to $50,O00.0OO and
that the deaths would reach 1000.
From all sections of the state militia
equipped with food and blankets are
Fastening to the relief of the Dayton
sufferers and it was reported last
night that the advance guard was

The appeal Of Governor Cox for

who dropped the warning so lightly
were battling for their lives.
The west levee mad gone out 9th

ed to the torrents and homes were
jerked from their foundations and
torn to pieces. The Fifth street
bridge and the railroad bridge went
out. The South Fourth and others are
standing and can be useo rs soon as
the water goes down.
The toll Of life also was augmented
through the lack Of boats. Riverdale,
where the greater number were
haved, has 25 boats taken from a
pleasure resort. There volunteers
risked their lives to remove persons
trapped in their homes. Women and
children first" was the order, and
many husbands and fathers were

Further damage from flood was
passing today. but the apprehension
OF great loss Of lie from famine, ex-
posure and sickness was growing hour
ly.
The flood waters receded three feet
during the night and it was expected
that before dark most Of those ma
rooned in the downtown district would
be liberated -Four motor boats,
which arrived from Cincinnati this
morning, were taken to the waters

a full days food supply in the city city (
and before night it is likely that 600
who have been held down
town without food or water since
will be released and there
will be no provisions for them nor
places to- care for them.
Burba says that within a day bodies
Of thousands Of horses will be decom-

will be impossible even to care for
the bodies of human beings.

i and that no further danger need be
feared.
Resumption Of rail traffic will be
made today if possible. Not only are
bridges washed out everywhere, but
the tracks Of many of the principal
railroads still are flooded and washed
out. Fearing a typhoid epeidemic, the
state board of health is making ar
rangements to clean up the larger
! cities stricken by the floods.
Thousands Dead In Columbus.
Nearly 1000 persons lost their lives
in the flood on the West side of CO.
lumbus, according to reporters of the
Columbus Dispatch, who have just
gotten into communication with the
newspaper office from the previous
ly isolated section. This same esti-
mate is given by persons in charge
of the relief stations on the hilltop
west of the flooded section.
Former Mayor George s. Marshall
who was in telephone communication
with Attorney Cecil Randall, his law
partner, said today that Mr.. Randall
asserted the death toll would reach
at least 1000.
Throngs Of excited groups of peo-
pie from the flood stricken section Of
the city who were crowded into the
temporary rescue quarters asserted
that the estimate of Mr. Randall is
not exaggerated.
The true extent of the awful trag-
edy enacted during the sweeping
away of homes and the exact death
loll will not be known for several
days, until the mass Of hundreds Of
uprooted trees, which are strewn
over the lowlands south of the city
are uncovered. The mass Of debris
now is under several feet Of water,
with swift currents running in many
directions.

] tween Central avenue and Sandusky
streets was almost wiped out.
After two nights of horror, during
which hundreds clung to house-tops
calling for help until their voices gave
way while dozens were perched on the
branches of trees, many are still be
yond reach of the rescuers.
The cold wave which struck the
section last night caused many 10
freeze, lose, their grip and drop into
the water. With military glasses,
rescuers standing on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad near Center avenue
could see several dead forms lying on
the roof Of building to the east.
Al the corner of Glenwood and Tho
mas avenues the lifeless form of a
man was still hanging in tree. He
had frozen during the night as he was
seen SIGNALLING for help before dark.
VandaIs Add to Horror
Vandals looting the besieged terri
tory added to the horror. J. w. Caviar,
justice Of the peace at Briggsdale,
swore in several deputies today and
armed them with instructions to shoot
down all looters. Company E, Fourth
Ohio National Guard, Marysville, as
sumed guard duty around the strick-
en- district today.
Relief trains from MarysvilIe and
London, bearing food and clothing, re.
lieved the situation in the refugee
quarters on the hilltop where hun
dreds of homeless are waiting news
from relatives.
Relief work was directed toward
reseuing $50 from the marooned plant
Of the Sun Manufacturing company
where they had been for two days
without food or heat One boat, which
was brought within hailtng distance
and was stopped by the swirling cur
rent, was informed that conditions
there we're terrible.
Estimates of heavy loss Of life in
the extreme West side are based upon
stories told by the hundreds of rescued
and by scenes witnessed by the res
cuers who have been working con
tinuously with rough boats for 40
hours. The break in the 1evee near
avenue washed everything be
fore it.
Governor Asks Aid
That money by telegraph is the ur-
gent need of Ohio's floodswept dis
tricts, is the substance of proela
nation issued by Governor Cox. He
said it is impossible to, get supplies
to the stricken districts by trains and
that supplies can be best procured
al the nearest points to the city and
towns affected.
"The situation is critical and the
need is urgent said the proclama-
ton. Contributions may be sent to
Governor Cox.

Gently installed oil the navigation police
boat Tarragon is noted in "a report just
received at the bureau of navigation of
the Department of Commerce Although
the set is rated at one-Guarter kilowatt
and with the antennae only twenty-seven
feet above the water line, this set COM
pares favorably in receiving and trans
uniting distances with those of the av-
erage one-kilowatt stations on board
ships which have an antenna height
above the water line of from 40 to 125
feet
While the Tarragon was going through
the Dismal Swamp canal. says report
Just received at the bureau of navigation,
the Norfolk radio station heard its trans
initter in the afternoon and before sun
set over thirty-five miles of thickly wood
ed land. which is an indication that the
Tarragon's set should have an approx
mate range at sea by night Of 80 miles.
This working range far exceeds the
estimate placed on the set when it was
being installed recently while here at
Washington. The set is regarded as a
marvel of its kind and was designed and
constructed at the bureau of standards
in this city.
