DO NOT BECOME
 OVERLY EXCITED

While it undoubtedly is true that placer gold has been found in the up- per ChiSana country, our advices to the people of Panama IS that they tar ry awhile longer before starting on the long, expensive trip to the Nut zotin mountains. in the midst of which it appear to have been made We say this despite the fact that the report published in this issue of the Times is the most alluring of any yet re ceived And We will continue to ques- ton the importance of the strike until it has been proved beyond a doubt that there is substantial distribution of gold over an area sufficient to sup port camp.
 Thus far We have heard no new finds in the immediate vicinity of the original discovery, and at the time the reports were sent out the diggings, many, or. at least, quite a number of sourdOughs were at work on adja- cent claims. With bedrock only four or five feet deep. it strikes us as being very strange that the extension of the discovery pay was not picked up in short order if such an extension existed. in the absence of more def nite information, it is our opinion that the discovery diggers landed on a par ticularly rich spot, and that while oth- CT spots may be found with further -ogrcbinO the region will show few if any, paystreaks. And without pay streaks the Chisana region will speed fly take the place among the scores of other Alaska camps which have failed to survive the test of thorough pros pecting. Fairbanks Times.

RIVALRY OF UNDERTAkERs.
Competition for Possession of Bodies Results in Disregard of Instructions.

south Dayton, O.. March 2S-Eigh1 hundred dead is the average estimation of SeVen-eighthS of Dayton's under takers called together fol. a conference tonight. They reported S2 bodies had been recovered and now are at various places in the city. Individual esti- mates of the undertakers were from 800 to 1000, but the consensus ot opinion was that 800 would be a con- servative figure. Elaboration of sey- eral recesses of the city today by newspapermen hardly would justify such an estimate.
 Orders had been issued for all bodies to be brought to a general noreue es- tablished in garage. This had not been needed, as less than half the number of bodies found according to the undertakers, had been brought there tonight
 There has been keen competition be- tween undertakers for possession of unidentified bodies, and many of them have been taken to undertaking estab- Hshments not under water
 A general call for all undertakers to meet was sent out by John H. Patter- son, in charge of relief work. in an effort to have the work of recoyeri11g Q bodies organized. Thirty undertakers were present and all said they based their estimates of the dead on a gen eraI survey of the situation
 Louisville life savers made 2 trin into Rfverdale and North Dayton sec tions, where it was feared there had been great loss of life. They did not find body and said they believed few would be found. An expedition of Cleveland naval reserves brought practically an Identical report.
 AS so large a part of the city had been explored and information obtain ed failed to bear out earlier estimates q great loss. the announcement of the 0HdertakerS came as a surprise to those most familiar with the situation.

Many Persons Thought to Have Perished in Floods
 Are Found to be Safe
KEEN COMPETITION AMONG THE UNDERTAKES
Rivalry For Possession of Unidentified Bodies Dayton Re suits Disregard of nstructions-Disease Breaks Out Among Refugees in Indana-Cin Now Threaten ed by the Worst Flood in Its History.

Flood waters receded sufficiently last night to show that the numbers of persons drowned in all the affected cities in Ohio and Indiana may not exceed 500. While many persons are still missing to friends and relatives investigations made to date indicated that many were safe who had been thought lost. In Dayton, careful eSti- mates placed the number of deaths at 2V0 or fewer, although a meeting Of the undertakers asserted that the total might be 800. Relief work went on rapidly in Dayton and all parts of the city were reached.
 Columbus will have the next to the largest loss of life. sixty bodies hav- ing already been found in the inun- dated portions of West Columbus.
 unverified figures for Miamsburg, Ohio, give fifty dead. but in all oth- CT flooded cities, the figures fell off rapidly as relief expeditions covered the ground
 Hamilton, Ohio, which had report ed as many as 25O dead did not put forth any figures today.
 Mount Vernon did not confirm it's previous report of fifty dead and no confirmation was had for 32 reported drowned at Venice, Ohio
 ChilIecothe and TiffTn, Ohio, where there had been reports of fifty or more dead, each found IS corpses up to midnight The best figures of Pfoua give a death toll of fifty persons Fremont and MiddIetown, Ohio, each has fourteen dead; Massilon five and Zanesville four.
 The Indiana total drowned receded to fewer. than fifty distributed as fol- lows: Peru 20; Brookville, Is; Fort Wayne s, and Terre Haute f.
 No bodies have been found in West Indianapolis, where as many as 200 deaths were at one time reported
 With the situation somewhat ale HIated in the hood-sWept districts in Ohio and Indiana, a new menace threatened tonight in the rise of rivers Tn the southern valleys of both states At Cincinnati the Ohio, swelled by it's tributaries north and south caused alarm and although the situatio1e had not yet reached an acute stage, re- ports from neighboring Kentucky towns Indicated that warning had been issued to the inhabitants to seek points of safety from the rising water l
 In Indiana alarm was felt in the valleys Of the Ohio, Wabash and White rivers, but ample warning selv- Cd ln measure to reduce the panic.

DISEASE NOW THREATENS.
May Cause Greater Loss of Life in fn-
 diana Than Flood.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 2s-Indi- ana's flood death toll remains uncer- tain tonight with all reports confirm ing more conservative estimates of the loss of life while panic is attacking cities in the southern valleys of the White and Wabash rivers and all along the Ohio, as rising waters threaten repetitions of the upstate horror. Sunshine and disappearing waters re- lieved sufferers in the city.
 West Indianapolis and Peru were placed under the strictest quarantine orders today. there being four deaths in the courthouse last night. Much serious sickness among Peru refugees today threatened greater loss of life than was caused by the waters. The Indianapolis city board of health late today quarantined West Indianapolis after ejecting hundreds of persons who had entered the flooded district since noon when Mayor Shank opened the Oliver avenue and West Michigan street bridges to the public.
 Sixteen bodies were found in Brook vile and six still were missing today.
 Indiana's worst danger now lies in a wave of disease that may follow the floods. Water service was resumed in Indianapolis today with a warning that the water must not be used for drink ing or food purposes unless boiled.

bardment. Nothing is said concerning the damage done by the fires which the Turks thems elves started before the city fell.
 Turks Work of Destruction. In the last despatch the Turkish commander of the fortress, ShulzTi Pasha, sent to Constantinople. he said he was destroying the great national religious buildings ito prevent them being profaned by impure food"
 Many of the Turks before the enemy arrived took time to break their rifles, render useless a number of siege guns. destroy all ammunition depots and even to kill their horses in order to prevent them falling into the hands of the invaders. The wireless telegraph station and the Searchlights were blown up by order of Shukri Pasha, who, on the whole, seems to have work of destruction.
 Jealousy Between euigars and Ser
 Vians.
 The railway is being utilized to take supplies into the city Jealousy be tween the Buigarians and Servians is apparent in official circles. General Ivanof the Bulgarian commander, claims all the credit for the capture of Adrianople. He describes the Ser vian operations as purely demonstra- tive.'' On the other hand the Servian official account of the fall of the city y cavalry and infantry which, it says, made possible the capture of the east ern section of the fortress by the Bull garians.
 All accounts reaching here agree that the Turks have suffered a severe defeat at Tchatalja. Some of the cor respondents placed the Turkish loss as high as 2,600 killed and 7,500 wound ed These figures, however. probably are exaggerated as only a few wound ed men have reached Constantinople.
 Sultan Sheds Tears.
 The sultan wept bitterly when in formed of the general situation and it is reported that the Turkish enn- bassies abroad have been ordered to appeal to the powers to hasten nledi- ation.
 The ambassadors, who met today to discuss the southern limits of auton- >omous Albania, found some complica- Mons which will cause a delay in reaching agreement.

 Desperate Efforts to Save Men.
 The sentence of the court, held up for six hours while desperate and dramatic efforts were being made to save the condemned men by eleventh hour appeals to Lieutenant Governor Ellyson, was speedily ordered to proceed when Governor Mann hasten ed back to Virginia to take charge of the situation. The prison superin- tendent acting within the law, had agreed at two o'clock this morning to defer execution, giving Attorney General Williams an opportunity meanwhiie to pass upon the constitu tional righ- of Lieutenant Governor Ellyson to interfere.
 Governor Warned by Son.
 But the young son of Governor Mann reached his father in Philadel- phta by telephone less than half an hour after the delay had been ordered and by eight o'clock the governor had returned to Virginia soil Incensed shy the unexpected effort to take ad Vantage of his temporary absence, when he had repeatedly refused clemency, the governor boarded an early morning train arriving in Rich mond at 11.30 o'clock On the way he telegraphed the secretary of the commonwealth that he would be in Virginia by o'clock this information suddenly checking the plan of Allen sympathizers in furthering the lieutenant governor to intervene.
 Governor Guarded by Police.
 Word reached police headquarters that crowd had assembled at the station to meet the governor and pa trolmen and detectives were hurried there to prevent any demonstration. When the governor stepped on the platform he was quickly surrounded by officers who escorted him to a taxicab which took him quickly to sz1e capitol.
 In his office at the state prison Superintendent Wood was pacing the floor nervous1y as he waited develop ments. The situation there had be- come more intense. Precisely at noon the superintendent was called to the telephone.

Plan Arranged a Week Ago.

 Claude Allen, who had retained his nerve throughout the trying ordeal in his behalf, gasped and trembled, but he regained his com posture as he uored the hopeless and dejected appearance of his aged father in the cell across the corridor.
 What brought forth the greatest in dignation from the governor was the reported t%;t that the plan to appeal to the lieutenant governor was agreed upon a week ago.
 Pathetic FareweIls.
 Father and son, occupying separts cells, heard the death warrants read a, few minutes after one o'clock. Tears were in Floyd Aliens eyes as he look ed upon his boy, who stood firm be- hind the steel bars across the cOrrid ors There was a pathetic farewell as the old mountaineer, bent and feeble, vas led away. The guards on either sida of him held his arms as they marched through the door into the death chamber. Two minutes after he en- tered the room the signal was given and the current was turned on.
 Claude Perfectly Composed.
 When the prison surgeon announced that Floyd Allen was dead the body was hastily removed and the guards went back for Claude, who walked in briskly and glanced coolly at the wit nesses. There was less delay in ar ranging the straps for the second exc eution, one minute elapsing before the power was applied.
 Floyd Allen was muttering a. pray CT as he was placed in the chair but Claude was Stoical- The Rev. George w. Daniels, spiritual adviser to the prisoners, had to be lifted into his car as he left the prison
 A Gold Medal For Claude.
 A gold medal, subscribed to by sympathizers, which was to have been presented to Claude for defending his father was not presented and was in the warden's safe when the boy went to the chair.
 One Of the lines of Claude Aliens defense was that he shot while de- lending his father against attack bv court officers.
 sidna Allen Serving s5 Years.
 Sidna Allen, whose trial was bepurt November Il, was found guilty of murder in the second degree for kil1- ing Judge MasSie and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. Later he was convicted of mansIaughter and given five years for the killing of Commonwealth Attorney Foster and by agreement of counsel pleaded gull ty to murder in the second degree and received another fifteen year sentence for the murder of Sheriff Webb. Thus the penalty of the gang leader is 35 years in the penitentia1-y, practically a life term for a man of his age.
