CARE Of WATERWAYS
BY NATION AND STATE
Suggestion of Senator New

ing Flood Disasters.

NEW YORK. March 31.-With the flood
situation in the central west in mind,
United States Senator Newlands of
Nevada in a statement here last night
advocated legislation to bring about
waterway control by cooperation Of
nation and state, so as to prevent flood
disasters and work other benefits A
working plan to this end is provided, he
says, in a bill he has introduced in
Congress.
Senator Newlands points out the needs
of utilizing the rainfall properly, slow

Martial Law Is Extended.

Chairman Patterson announced that w.
F. Bppus will act as treasurer for all
contributions and will make a strict ac-
counting to all contributors.
BY order of Gov. Cox the reign Of mar
tial law over Dayton has been extended
to take in the whole county. The flood
did more than sweep away property, for
1t swept away the city administration,
temporarily at least. and brought in what
amounts to a commission form of govern
ment.
Immediately martial law was proclaim-
ed. the municipal administration was
eclipsed. Adjt. Gen. Wood for the mor
ment became supreme under the COVER
nor. On the heels of this Mr.. Patterson
was appointed chairman of a committee
of five to administer the affairs Of the
city. The militia was instructed to obey
his orders and thus became police force.
1t is doubtful IL the martial law order
will soon be repealed, as under the pres
ent arrangement the city has the free
services of the biggest business men and
the most expert professional men in
Montgomery county.
The extension of the area under mar
tial law developed from action taken by
local dealers whose places are closed
They complained that saloons in the out
skirts were sending whisky into the
city and that considerable drunkenness
had been observed. Adjt Gen. Wood re-
ported the situation to the governor and
his action was prompt and decisive.

Dayton Flood Hero Perishes
After Saving Many Families

DAYTON, March 31.-A family named
Porter. six in number. lay i'm the Riverdale
morgue yesterday. They left theft home
ON the outskirts Of the city when warn
ing of the flood was brought there. They
were overwhelmed and drowned on the
road, while the flood missed the home
they had deserted.
Harold Ridgley, popular young man
Of Riverdale, lost his life after saving
thirteen families.
In seeking to recover a lost oar his
frail skiff tipped too much and sank.
Another youth, after making many
rescues, pitched into the water and near

ed so much bad whisky into him that he
was in state Of delirum at the general
hospital. He nearly died, but will re-

section of the city, saw a frame house
float from it's foundations above the Day
ton View bridge across the Miami. Just
before the structure reached the bridge a
door opened and a man was seen to look
out, shading his eyes with his hand, Be-
side him stood a woman and behind them
in the room of the cottage appeared an
other woman with a baby in her arms.
The watchers, seeing his peril, shouted
warnings to the man to jump into the
river and chance being rescued. Their
cries evidently were unheard. The man
closed the door. A moment later the cot
tage crashed into concrete pier of the
bridge and was broken into bits. Moth

An amusing incident in connection with
the receipt Of relief supplies was dis
patch from DIR. McGrudder of Baltimore
addressed to Gen. Devine Of the American
Red Cross at Washington. and by him
forwarded to Dayton. in which it was
stated that among the contributions OF
clothing from the Maryland city was a
woman's sealskin coat valued at $1,000
which the owners maid had included by
mistake. The coat has not been found
Among the largest contributions to the
city's needs at time when food was the
most precious have been the hundreds of
farmers near Dayton, who have been
coming to the outskirts of the city every
day since the food broke with wagon
loads of milk. eggs, potatoes and other
vegetables. 1t was due to this that the
mortality among the infants dependent
entirely upon milk for sustenance, has not
been large.

Notice To Water Consumers.

There is an ordinance prohibiting the
using of hydrants for sprinkling purpos
es except between the hours of from 5
to z O'Clock a. m. and from 5 to z
O'Clock p. m. This affords ample time
for sprinkling which is necessary for
the comfort of those who use the city
water for that purpose.
With the present high pressure which
is afforded, it is very injurious to turn
the hose directly with full force against
the street and you can obtain better
results by elevating the nozzle and
allowing the water to descend in a
shower. If patrons insist on injuring
the streets as above set out, they will
be required to secure sprays for their
lawn hose.
We have ample water for all purposes,
but patrons are requested to be as
saving as possible with the water, use
what you want for domestic and sprink-
ling purposes, but do not allow your
MIGRANTS to run all night and in other
ways waste the water.
There has been several industries
started which will require considerable
water, and in order to supply them it
will be necessary to be as careful as
possible with the water supply. The
manner in which the water is used will
be carefully watched, and the laws
governing its use enforced.

Herald Urges Other CoInties To Follow
Boyle in Removing Objectionable
Signs.

Lexington Herald: The Herald has
for years insisted that the pixies and
other roads Of this section shall not be
disfgured by signs and other advertise
ments, which obs truct the view and in
many cases scare horses. 1t is crafty
ing to note that the Fiscal Court of
Boyle county has taken official action in
the matter and directed that every sign
or other advertisement be taken down
at once and further posting of signs be
rlgidly prohibited.
The other Fiscal Courts of the most
beautiful country in the world should
follow the example of that of Boyle and
have the unsightly signs removed. 1t
frequently happens that they are SC
thick that it is impossible to see the
well-kept farms along the pike and the
nuisance grows and continues and will
until drastic action is taken as in Boyle
county. Which county will be the next
to follow suit?

In soap soon expect to tread,
Left somewhere by mistake.

names. Ny belief IN this view is
somewhat borne out by the latter part
of Section II of the act, which pro-
vides as follows:
THE ballot shall be printed so as
to give each elector a clear oppor-
tunity to designate his choice of
candidates for nomination by making
with the stencil cross in the square
after the name of each candidate for
whom he wishes to vote for nomina-
tion.'
WRITTEN NAMES BARRED.
eff my construction of this section
is correct-tbat is. that the choice
of the elector shall only be designated
in the manner provided in Section II
then the officers of the election
would be authorized to count as a
valid vote for any person, whether
for one party or the other a name
written on the ballot with pencil, or
with pen and ink, as far as that is
concerned.
"You can readily see how any other
construction of this would lead to an
abuse of the law, and to thwart the
intention of the Legislators in having
fair and full and free expression of
the voters as to their choice of nomi
nees. AS indicated above, it would
be very easy matter, both in the dis
tricts where registration is required,
and in districts where registration is
not required, upon the concerted ac-
ton of either the members Of the one
or the other party to write the name
of some Democrat or Republican on
either the one or the other ballot, who
would have no possible chance of win
ming at the final elections.
MIGHT LEAD TO ABUSE.
"For example in primary election
in Fayette County, upon an agreement
by the members of the Republican
party that they should vote for John
Smith, a Democrat, by writing his
name on the Republican ticket, and it
so happened that John Smith was a
man of such character that he could
not possibly win in the November
election, there would be a clear de-
feat of the intention of this law, and
we believe that the courts will hold
that such action would not be permits
sible, because it would defeat the pur-
poses of the act.
