ment has made formal protest to the
American government against the ship
ping of arms end ammunition from the
United States to the rebels and has re-
quested that greater vigilance be exer-
cised in guarding the frontier. Mex

GUS consignments of war material, in
Guiding many machine guns, have been
sent across the Dor r., in some cases
even at the regular ports of entry, and
now are in the hands of the rebels.

Rome, March 81. Pierpont Nor
gan is dead. He expired yesterday af-
ternoon at 1905 o'clock. Announce
ment of his death was withheld in or
der that private cipher dispatches
should be sent to the Morgan banking
houses of London and New York.
A peaceful scene marked the Morgan
death bed, The financier was uncon-
scious at the last. Herbert Saterlee,
his son-in-law, Mrs. Saterlee. Professor
Bastinelli, DR.. Star and other members
of the party were present.
DR.. Starr declared that death was
due to a collapse occasioned by a
strain incidental to Morgans recent
appearance before the house commit
tee investigating the money trust at
Washington.
Morgan was practically unconscious
since Wednesday. When he arrived at
Naples from Egypt and was brought
here on a special train he was pale,
emaciated and weak. Since his arrival
here, four nurses and half a dozen
noted specialists of Europe and others
from the continent have been in con-
slant attendance.
New York Exchange.
New York.-Business was suspended
for five minutes on the stock exchange
today while the members adopted a
resolution on Mr.. Morgan's death. The
resolution was read from the rostrum.
1t was the first time in its history that
the exchange stopped work to pay hon
or in this way. The resolution in part
was:
Resolved, That the death of J. p.
Morgan has removed from America

spicuously useful figure. To the devel-
opment of the resources of our coun-
try he has contributed more than any

to get records.
Hundreds of persons, still look1I
for relatives, passed along the lines at
the morgues. Only few bodies have
been identified.
Spread of Diphtheria.

iberia were at the Miami Valley hos

ease
Eight persons whose minds have be-
come affected temporarily because OF
hardships suffered in the flood are be-
ing cared for at the state insane asy-
lum.
Dead Animals Menace.
With warmer weather the greatest
problem was the removal of the car
casses o. dead horses. Every available
automobile truck and all the horse
drawn drays were impressed by the
sanitary officials and hundreds of men
were engaged all day removing the car
casses to the different incineratine
plants and to vacant plots on the out
skirts of the city, where they are be-
ing burned.
Indianal )lis.-Central Indiana is

as presented to Dayton Monday, as
summarized by George F. Bailey, sec
rotary to Governor Cox. who is repre-
senting the latter here:
Forty thousand persons must be fed,
clothed and housed for a week longer.
Twenty thousand persons must be
cared for indefinitely. These are per
sons who lost all when their household
goods were swept away. They must
be provided with a few necessary
household articles. sucn as bedding,
pots and pans, stoves and a few dol
lars. A half million dollars could be
used in this way by the relief commit
tee.
Fifteen thousand houses and bust.

Two thousand houses and other
structures, or what remains of them
must be pulled down.
Thousands of tons of debris must be

Deeds of Heroic Linemen.


No Drawer services have been per-
formed than those by the telegraph
and telephone linemen. They waded
and swan icy floods nd entered tot
tering buildings unhesitatingly in the
course of duty. John II. Patterson,
chairman of the general committee,
found many operators last night who
had not removed shoes or clothing
since last Tuesday.
There is enough food and clothing
for present needs, but relief will be
required on a diminishing scale for an
other month.
w. F. Bippls viii act as treasurer
for all contributions and w make a
strict accounting to all contributors.
Martial Law Hits Saloons.
By order of Governor Cox the reign
of martial law over Dayton was ex.
tended to take in the whole county, to
prevent the sale of liquor in the sub.
urbs. The flood swept away the city
administration, temporarily at least,
and brought in what amounts to a com.
mission form of government.
Immediately martial law was pro-
claimed, the municipal administration
was eclipsed. Adjutant General Wood
for the moment became supreme under
the governor. On the heels of this Mr.
Patterson was appointed chairman of
committee of five to administer the
affairs of the city. The militia was in.
structed to obey his orders and thus
became a force.
Autos Taken From Siehtseers.
Sightseers in motor cars felt the
heavy hand of public necessity when
General Wood ordered them from their
cars and pressed the latter into public
service. Those who protested were
forced to surrender their cars at the
points of rifles until released by order
of Chairman John H. Patterson.

that 100 bodies have been recovered

Things Accomplished.

Following are some of the things ac-
complshed since the flood broke over
the city March 25:
The water works pumping station is
in operation, but the DISTRIBUTION OF
water is greatly retarded by open
pipes in wrecked houses. The press
ure is feeble, out growing stronger as
leaks are checked.
The main sanitary sewer is in oper
alton, although many of the laterals
leading from houses are clogged with
mud or backed-up water.
The flood sewers, separate from the
sanitary sewer, will be in operation to
morrow. These sewers are needed now
to remove the water being pumped
from easements.
Telegraph service is catching III

Students Work Roads.

Magnolia-The third district agri- cultural school at Magnolia was closed for lack of students. Every boy over IT 1-2 years of age was warned to work the roads and was to be found piling brush into the mudholes. This is rather an unusual occurrence, as most boarding students are not required to work roads or pay road tax. The stu dents of voting age were not allowed to vote in the last election, as the election officials held they were not residents, so the students have a griev- ance, Taxation without representa- tion" is their grievance, and move ment is started that will doubtless call attention to these conditions, even if it does not remedy them.
