persons who lost their lives on the
west side of Columbus, when the Sci
oto river food broke through the levee,
is expected to be gained shortly. At
daybreak hundreds of rescue and re-
lief parties started for the flooded
section with supplies of clothing, food

The day dawned crisp and cold, but
clear, and indications were that ii
would get warmer before evening.
Flood refugees suffered greatly from
the cold. However, the river is re-
ceding rapidly and rescue parties will
be able to reach many inundated sec

West Columbus remains practically

SOUTHERN
INDIANA IS
MENACED
Crest of Flood Just
Reaches There.
FIFTY DEAD AT PERU
First Reports Of Casualties
There Were Greatly El-
aggerated.
FIFTY DEAD AT PERU

Indianapolis. March 29.-The fight
to relieve food conditions in Central
and Northern Indiana has been won,
but along the lower fringe of the Wa
bash river, where the crest of the
food has just reached, the trouble
has just begun.
Not one of the tens of thousands
OF refugees in the cities suffered from
lack of water, food or clothing.
This was the positive and official
word from Fort Wayne, Lafayette,
Peru, Logansport. Kokomo. Wabash.
Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Martins
vile, Shelbyville and a score of other
cities and towns.
With partial communication re-
stored comes the first direct word from
Peru that the situation there had been
greatly exaggerated; that while the
exact death toll is not known only
three bodies have been recovered and
the loss of life would not go over fifty
at the most.
The district in the south of Frank
lin county seemed TO be the hardest
hit, with Brookville and several smaller
places completely wiped out II is
said the loss Of life, however. will not
exceed fifty.
Relief work was going on with help
from Connersyille and surrounding
villages and the situation was de-
|cidedly encouraging.
The rumors Of great loss of life in
West Indianapolis have not been veri-
fed and the death toll will not go
over ten, the police say.
Groups of half-dozens, half-starved
refugees are being found in isolated
parts of flooded West Indianapolis,
but investigation trips into ali possi-
BILE territories have revealed no bodies

Relief Boats Overturned.
In this vicinity several boats laden
with refugees overturned, both refu-
gees and their would be reseuers
losing their lives. In West Dayton
there was considerable loss Of life,
but the latest figures are relatively
small as compared to the first esti-
mates. In Bast Dayton, Dayton View
and Oakwood the loss of life, Chief
Allaback said, was small In North
Dayton. which the lay of the land
made more dangerous than at any
other point, relief parties penetrated
and found that while there would be
a large number OF fatalities, the pum-
Der of drowned was not likely to be
relatively much greater than in River
dale, the other section that bore the
chief brunt of the flood.
North Dayton's population consists
largely of foreign people. The first
rescue party took off many of these.
The refugees conducted themselves
in orderly fashion and aided their res
cuers in every conceivable manner
Persons situated in the business
section appear to have escaped ex-
cept in a few cases.
Mayor Phillips is marooned in his
house. and G. B. Smith, president of
the Chamber of Commerce. is In active
charge of relief operations.

Chicago. March 29.-News of a
more reassuring nature than has
come out of the flooded districts of
Ohio and Indiana since they we're
swept by waters Monday night had
the effect of cheering in some degree
a shocked and anxious nation. The
principal source OF comfort lay in the
fact that the lists of estimated dead
were materially reduced in all Sec
tions, with perhaps the possible ex-
ception of Columbus, from which place
it was reported that from 600 to 1000
persons had drowned.
Dayton's dead, 1t is now believed,
will not exceed 500-it probably will
be less. At Peru not more than fifty
perished, and some rescuers think not
more than twenty-five fell victims of
the flood
Waters are receding in all stricken
cities, with the exception OF Southern
Illinois towns. Flood warnings are
being sounded at Cairo, at Evansville
and at Louisville.
The day in the flooded zone is clear
and cold and the rains apparently
have ceased.
The property loss in the business
district of Dayton is approximately
$15,00C,000. Damage from fire was
not as great as reported.
Relief contributions are pouring in
to all stricken territories.
Looters are reported, to be operating
In portions of Dayton and a squad of
militiamen has been dispatched to
quell disorders.

Loss of Life Greatly
Exaggerated.
HEART OF CITY FLOODED
Damage to Business Property
Estimated at Over FIf-
teen Millions.

Dayton, o., March 29.-The food
situation in Dayton is this:
Previous estimates of the number
drowned are greatly exaggerated.
The property loss from fire will not
exceed more than million and a half
dollars.
The damage caused to mercantile
houses, factories and residences will
run anywhere from s15,OOO,O 900 to s2O,.
100000.
The water has receded from the
business section of the city and from
a large portion of the residence por-
ton.
Residents in portions still inundat-
ed are being taken to sections not
affected by the food.
There is no lack of food The tele-
phone systems are being restored
There is much suffering from cold.
but all available fuel has been appro-
priated and there is prospect of i'm
mediate relief.
So far there has been no epidemic
Of sickness.
One thousand militiamen have the
city In rigid control, effectively
squelching looting, sightseeing that
will interfere with rescue work and
all disorder.
Flood Was Nine Feet High.
Touring the business sections off,
cials found the high stage of the flood
was nine feet at the corner of Third
and Main streets, which is in the very
heart of the city. The onrushing
water flooded the first floor of every
store in the business district This
constitutes the chief financial loss.
The tower OF Steele high school was
leveled and the Leonard building on
Main street was undermined SO that
1t collapsed. Many houses were swept
away in Riverdale, West Dayton,
North Dayton and Edgmont.
The fire loss is positively limited to
the destruction of Dayton Gas Light
and Coke company's plant, the row OF
two and three story buildings on both
sides of Third street from Jefferson
street to st. Clair avenue, the Troy
Pearl Laundry plant and two apart
ment house fires on the West Side.
None of the public buildings was
destroyed. Among the latter were the
Dayton club, Victoria hotel and Colon
fal theaters, city hall, court house,
Beckel, Philips, Algonquin and Atlas
hotels, Masonic temple, postoffice, Y.
M. C. A. and all churches.
Chief of Police Allaback says that
reports he had received indicated the
number of fatalities to be far fewer
than early conditions indicated. As
nearly as can be ascertained about
one hundred persons were drowned in
Riverdale, the first section of the city
flooded by the breaking of the levee.

TWO YEARS NOW PENALTY FOR
STEALING COAL
New Federal Law Passed Making
Theft From Freight Cars
Serious Offense

Stealing coal from the railroad com
pany is now a serious offense and
offenders in the future will not get
off with a petty larceny fine but will
be held to the federal court for pro-
secution. This is the result Of the
Calm Bill" which Is now law.
This measure, In brief, will enable
the railroads to prosecute under the
federal law those who steal from
freight cars in transit. It is said
concerning this new law and it's ef-
feet:
Heretofore the railroads have had
only state laws or city ordinances
under which they could prosecute
those who steal from freight cars.
This made it often almost impossible
to punish the wrong doer who would
be fined SIS after which sentence
would be suspended during good be-
havior and there the matter would
rest. The thieving would go ON as
before.
But with the federal law under
which to prosecute, the stealing of
coal especially which has been going
ON at many stations will soon be
stopped under vigorous prosecutions
of cases. Heretofore coal from Wyo-
ming and other outside states that
has been stolen here presented diff
ficult problem, owing to the coal be-
ing an interstate shipment. Now with
the federal law to cover the case
matters are simplifed.
The law states that whoever shall
break the seal of a railroad car con-
tanning interstate or foreign ship
ments OF. freight or express, or shall
enter any such car with the intent
to commit larceny therein, or shall
steal any baggage from common
carrier which Ia intended for trans
portation from one station to another
or shall receive such stolen property,
knowing it was stolen slal In each
case be fined not moro than $4,000
or Imprisonment not more than 10
years, or both, and prosecutions may
be instituted in any district where
the crime Is committed. Carrying
such stolen goods from one state to
another knowing them to be stolen
shall constitute a separate offense.
Nothing in this law impairs the juris-
diction of the courts Of the several
states: a Judgment of convistion or
acquittal on the merits under the laws
of any state shall be bar to pros
ecution under the federal law for the
same act or acts.
