established. with more than 10000
beds for consumptives, About 400
dispensaries, with more than 1000
physicians in attendance and at least
$50 open air schools for tuberculous
and anaemic children, have also been
provided. Laws dealing with tubercu-
losis have been passed in As states,
and ordinances on this subject have
been adopted in over 200 cities and
towns. An active field campaign of

Surgeon Tells Graphic Story.

DR.. Ray B. Harris, a police surgeon
Of Dayton, Ohio, and one Of the chief
workers among the injured immedi-
ately after the cyclone, told graphic
story Of the sufferings Of the hun
dreds who were hurt

fearful state OF affairs" said the ply
sician. 1T was as grewsome task
as | ever worked at. Some of the
bodies were twisted into frightful
shapes and some had pieces OF
wreckage-wood and iron-driven
through their bodies. Dozens were
smothered to death. some were
burned, still others were crushed and
beaten to death by the flying timbers.

even the medical students, were at

too.
Some Of the taXicab drivers thought
1t was golden opportunity TO reap
harvest, and demanded huge sums for
carrying the injured to the hospitals.
The doctors wouldn't stand for any
thing like that, and l personally
thrashed two drivers who presumed
to haggle.'
Another husky young doctor had an
argument with a chauffeur, who de-
manded s. apiece for conveying two
injured women to a hospital. When
he would not yield the physician
seized a piece of board and knocked
the man senseless with it. Then he
took the chauffeur to the hospital with
the women and ministered to him.
1t is such incidents as this that evi-
dence the fearful night of terror and
panic and the day of sorrow that fol

MANY Rescued BY q Cable,


Many thrilling stories were told by
the Dayton refugees who had been
trapped in their attics and on their
roofs In the very heart Of the flood.
A. J. Bard Of Belmont avenue, who
was penned in the City National
Bank building on Third street, near
Main, Tuesday, was rescued.
One hundred and fifty of us were
caught in the building" said Mr.,
Bard I'VE remained there until the
fire started, then we began to plan an
escape"
I'VE cut the elevator cable and OBJ
tanned ball of twine and some small
wire from one of the offices. We at
tracted a boatman, who risked his life
to come to us. We gave the boatman
one end of the twine and he rowed to
the old courthouse. He then pulled
the wire over and after that the heavy
cable.
One end of the cable was made
fast in the bank building and the
other in the old courthouse. Then,
with only the light of the burning
structure, the $50 persons in the bank
building made their way, hand over
hand, along the cable over the swirl
ing torrent to the courthouse. | be-

The suffering of the survivors hud

could not be taken to them.

ing abutments Of the Herman street
bridge. Volbrecht said he was at his
home with his family when the flood
struck North Dayton. The house was
picked up by the current and car
ried against the Herman street bridge
Volbrecht said he clung to the bridge
and didn't know what became of his
family.
One woman with ten-day old baby
climbed over the roofs of three houses
to reach the rescuers.

Whole Families on Roofs,

All of the first terrible night, while
the city Of Peru, Ind, was in inky
darkness because of the cutting off of
the gas and electric light supply men,
women and children, and in some in.
stances entire families, lay fiat where
they had crawled to the roofs of their
homes, waiting for daylight to bring
relief Hundreds of others were
TANNED in the courthouse and lodge
buildings, which were in the only four
blocks Of the city not under water.
The first thought of rescue parties
was to send into the town boats to
carry to safety those who were threat
ened with drowning. Telephone com
munication had been opened with
points in the residence and business
districts and from those marooned in
buildings it was learned that many
persons, including some women who
held their children in their arms, had
been on roofs exposed to an almost
freezing temperature all night. One
man telephoned he had seen several
fall from exhaustion and slip into the
water. 1t was the purpose of the res
cuers first to reach those in greatest
danger. Hundreds OF others huddled
together at the courthouse, although
In want of food and water, were to be
taken later.

Heroes In All Classes.

II great loss of life was averted
at Peru, this is due to some heroes of
the Owen Wister type, river men and
water rats from surrounding lakes,
who by unbelievable prowess with a
pair of frail oars rescued the doomed,
and in splendid harmony with their
virile efforts shines the spirit Of wom-
en- who valiantly helped, supremely
oblivious to distressing surroundings.
Among the latter are Mrs. r. II.
Bouslog, Mrs. r. C. Edwards, and
Mrs. Albert Shirk, all three wives
Of local millionaires, and also leaders
In the selfsacrifces required to pro-
vide sandwiches, coffee and smiles to
q panic stricken multitude in emer.
gency quarters.
Among the boatmen two brothers,
Charley and Ted Knight, are praised
on the corners left in Peru. Ted, with
W. A. Huff, dentist, braved the tur-
bulent waters of the Wabash river,
cutting off Peru on the south side
and rendering uncertain the fate of the
Inhabitants Of South Peru. According
TO the report the two rescuers reached
the opposite shore alive, after having
been overturned several times.

Forty Dead at BridQe.

Richard Lee, an engineer on the
Pennsylvania, who brought in the last
train over that line from Logansport,
reported a terrible condition at the
Pennsylvania bridge over the Wabash
on the outskirts of Logansport
This bridge is braced across an
island and is as near indestructible as
a bridge can be made" said Mr.. Lee.
1T is eighteen miles down stream
from Peru and has caught all the
debris from that town.
Il think we saw the remains Of
more than 100 houses stacked up
against this bridge, with the current
tugging and pulling at them. We
could make out thirty or forty dead
bodies in the crushed lumber, and 1t

Scott, cannot be told. was at a

The Man on the Roof.

There we're two heroes on the Day
ton floods. Their names are NJ. b.
stohl and c. d. Williamson, and they
are employees Of the American Tele-
graph and Telephone company.
Stohl is n wire chief at Dayton. He
reached the Dayton office of his com,
pany late the night before the floods
came. The rush OF the waters put all
the telephone batteries and power out
Of commission Forgetting thoughts
OF escape, Stohl rummaged around
until he found linemans test set
With this he rigged up a sending and
receiving apparatus, and cut in upon
the wire on the roof OF the four-story
building. This wire connected him
with Phoneton, testing station eight
miles away. Thus he established com.
munication with Williamson, whose
batteries were still working.
Then Stohl sent messages from the
flooded city, otherwise cut off from
communication with the outside world
All night he stuck to his post. All next
day he remained. The following noon
found him still on the roof OF build

Heroic Rescues Common.

From all parts of Dayton come sto-
ries OF heroic rescues. The stolid
volunteers pay no attention to them.
All of them for three days have con
stantly offered their lives to save
others. Several of these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying to
reach persons in floating houses, saw
their boats upset and the men go
down.
Late in the day large frame house
floated down the river. Four women
were In the windows. AS they neared

Victims Are Cheerful.

One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight This was
Dayton's first great flood in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water, but as the majority of resi-
dents of these sections looked out on
all sides upon a great sweep of muddy,
swiftly moving water, they seemed un-
disturbed
In some of the poorer sections the
attitude of the marOoned was not so
cheerful. As a motor boat passed be
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house a man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took off his wife and a baby that had
just been born. The woman, almost
dying, was let down from the window
by a rope and taken to a place Of
refuge
Further on, members OF a motor
boat party were startled by shots in
the second floor OF house about
which five feet Of water swirled The

from the window of the house.
why are you shooting?" he was
asked.
"Oh, Just amusing myself shooting
at rats that come upstairs. When are
you going to take me out Of here?"
he replied.
The bodies Of a woman and baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one Of Dayton's main thorough
fares. 1t was thought they came from
the district north OF the river.
