erdale quite as deplorable as the first
people were concerned The tour, how

river. Captain Gillooly reported that in
the south central sectien of Dayton.
where the food flowed widest on Tues
day night and Wednesday, thousands of
persons still were imprisoned in upper
floors of their homes. He stated that
it appeared the loss of life would not
be nearly SO large as Mt first report
ed.
This section still was flooded, although
the water rapidly was reccding, and
while a few corpses eddied out from
the floods edge, yet in the center of
the area it was stated that only two
bodies had been seen,
Captain Gillooly and his men distr-
buted food and quantities of drinking
water to large number Of the floods
prisoners. Preparations were making at
several points to cut the levees along
the rivers in order to more rapidly
drain the submerged districts.
While the Louisville life savers were
making their cruise, Capt. II. A. Han
sen and a crew of life savers from
the Cleveland station were operating II

a London Jail

bodyguad OF husky dock workers, Miss
ottTroy of San Francisco. heading
delegation of American and English
suffragists last night serenaded Miss
Zele Emerson of Detroit, Mich, the
militant suffragette who is on a hunger
strike in Holloway jail serving out a
two months sentence for breaking win
dows
The anti-suffraSists had hired band
OF roughs. who were armed with bad
eggs, stale vegetables and other objec-
tionable Things for use as missiles, but
the presence of the dock men kept them
quiet The suffragettes had hired a
deaf cornetist, who could not be dis
concerted by the jeers of the ants.
Not only was there no hooting or jeeT-
ing, but the cornetst and the singers
had no other kind of interruption to
contend with.
After the serenade. Miss Troy was
presented an illuminated honorary mem
bership in the dockers' union, as
testimonial of the gratitude of the men
for her support during the dockers'
strike two years ago.
In contrast to the demons tration at
Holloway jail was a suffragette meet
ing held across the street without the
protection OF bodyguard. The speak
ers at this meeting were howled down
by the mob. At the conclusion of the
serenade of Miss Emerson, the deaf cor
netist crossed the street had only be-
gun the air of "The Star Spangled
Banner when hoodlums pounced upon
him, smashed his cornet and forced the
suffrsgettes to abandon the meeting.
The attention of Senator William Al
den Smith of Michigan was called by
cable yesterday to the condition of Miss
Zelie Emerson of Detroit. Mich, a mill

erson has been tortured. that she is

strike" on being sent to prison, has
since been forcibly fed.
Mrs Emerson. who is now in Lon
don. tried again yesterday TO obtain

NARROW ESCAPE
Northwestern Train Loaded With
Passengers Derailed Near
Arlington

Arlington, April g-How 1t hap.
pened that no lives were lost in the
Northw estern railroad wreck between
Arlington and Volga Saturday forenoon
is a puzzlipg problem to the hundreds
of people in this section who have
visited the scene. Only two were in
Jured and these not seriously. En-
gineer McKaig, of Huron, suffered a
broken shoulder and a scalded leg, and
Baggageman Martin, of Arlington,
WAS bruised. The wrecked passenger
train was going east. The cause OF
the trouble was a loose shoe on the
drive wheel of the engine. The entire
train left the track, excepting the rear
coach, this being the only car that
was not ditched. The front of the
engine was buried in the bank down
about ten feet to the left Of the
track. The baggage car landed ny
against the cab of the engine, the cal
being pushed over on top of the boiler.
The tender was thrown ten feet further
on. The mail car was thrown into
the ditch on the other side of the
track. The smoking car landed neal
the baggage car. Supt. Dickinson, o.
Huron, found the track in perfec
shape where the engine left it.
