SQUADRON OF
LOCAL AUTOS
BRING CHEER
TO VICTIMS

Richmond's flying squadron of relief
automobiles brought good cheer to the
lfamished, saddened disheartened resi-
dents Of West Dayton yesterday. The
nineteenth car to start, test ma

first to arrive in the stricken city and

lers wsote letters and post cards to
relatives in other cities, telling them
they were safe and sound, and intrust
ed them to Gaar's care, to be mailed
at the Richmond post office. Mrs
Leroy Howell, former resident OF
Richmond. gave him a message to tele.
phone to George Mcclure on his ar
rival in Richmond. He also bore a
personal message from the son-in-law
of Squire Hunt, living south Of Rich
mond.
Erman Smith arrived shortly after
Gaar and he said that it was impera-
tive that Richmond continue its efforts
to provision and clothe the Dayton
flood victims. He bore personal
message from Carl Emerson, q Pal
kladium reporter, that his sister, who
had been visiting IN Dayton, had sur
vived the horrors Of the flood. Smith
also told Of the rescue OF an aged wo.
man off housetop, on which she had
floated all the way from Piqua. He
said that Richmond woman, Mrs
Hale, formerly Miss Bessie Johnson,
had escaped from the high waters.
John Weller, another member of the
Richmond flying squadron, also re-
turned yesterday after hard trip. He
said the refugees cheered Richmond

and it was horrible in the ex-
IRENE. Added to the desolation
of the flood were licking flames
of fire, a cold drenching rain
turning to snow and cutting
winds.
The Palladium correspondent
stood at the corner of River
street and Salem avenue, both
paved thoroughfares in aristo-
cratic West Dayton, at nine
o'clock Wednesday night. This
usually well ordered corner was
the shore line of the raging
water and looking toward the
heart of the business district
there was no land in sight. The
sky was red with flames burning
down town business buildings
and this light showed plainly the
outline of the Third street
bridge with it's street cars filled
with hungry and cold passen-
gers. The only electric light to
be seen anywhere was that in
the National Cash Register
building. Although the water
did much damage at the Cash
Register plant the main build
ings are standing solidly and
they have been turned into a re-
lief station where hundreds are
now sheltered. With a light
beaming from every window the
Cash Register plant was a most
welcome sight.

and nearly all of the latter spirit
in Dayton at this time.
The supplies from Richmond
sent Thursday reached Dayton
in good shape. AT the relief sta
tons they expressed deepest
thanks for the interest Rich
mond is showing, and those in re-
lief cars spread the news of what
Richmond is doing and hopes to
do. Citizens in Dayton speaking
of the relief in sight always
mention Richmond. and the work
of this city is being generally
heralded. As pointed out by the
Palladium correspondent yester-
day, Dayton needs supplies not
sight-seers, and no one should go
to the flood stricken city with
out earring some provisions to it
ready for immediate use.
The best route by automobile
for reaching Dayton from Rich
mond at this time is over the
New Paris pike to New Paris,
then through Gettysburg, then
to Lewisburg, then to Brookville.
then to Salem, and through Fort
Mckinley, into Dayton over Sal
EN- avenue. On Salem avenue,
the large school house on the left
hand side has been turned into
a relief station where supplies
can be left. The road from here
to Brookville will be found very
good, but from that point on the
pike is in bad shape, but pass
able at all places. The heavy
travel is tending to dry the road
and it will improve rapidly un-
less there is another rain.
1t is apparent to the traveller
in an automobile that Ohio from
Lewisburg on to Dayton had
much heavier rains than those
in Wayne county during the past
week.

DAYTON NEEDS FOOD
AND CLOTHING.
No newspaper report of the
situation there has exaggerated
Dayton's needs in this respect.
Dayton needs food and clothing
AT ONCE, and Richmond and
the surrounding country can do
more toward alternating the suf-
fering in the stricken Ohio city,
less than fifty miles away, than
any other place. Railroad ser
vice has been established suffic-
emily to get food and raiment
through to the sufferers, and
the turnpikes are also passable
for automobiles and other vehic-
les. Each person should do his
part by subscribing money or
giving food and clothing. When
these commodities are delivered
into Dayton they will be given
to those absolutely deserving.
Adequate measures have been
taken for dispensing the food
and clothing after it arrives.
Dayton will care for its own if
given the material to do with.
But Dayton cannot originate
food nor clothing; it must de-
pend on the outside for this.
The Palladium's correspondent
does not desire to preach SER
mon in this column, but he does
want to make the readers of this
paper know that they can now
do most for Dayton not by signs
and sympathy but by contribut-
ing.
THURSDAY TURNING POINT
Thursday morning was the
turning point for better things
in Dayton. The sun broke
through the clouds and the wat
ers of Miami and Mad rivers and
Wolf creek dropped back into
their banks. The bridges across
these streams which for two
days had been impossible were
opened to automobiles carrying
relief into the down town flood
district, and hundreds of suffer
ers who had been on roof tops,
in attics and other high places
were carried for the first time
since Tuesday morning to a
warm dry place and given cup
of hot coffee.
Dayton welcomed Thursday
with a silent fervent prayer to
God. The maddened elements
took their final fling at the dis
tressed city Wednesday night,

Mayor Cotterill Tries to Protect Peo-
pie from Riot Inspired Mob
Federal Court Interferes

Seattle, Wash, July 2I.-That May
or George D. Cotterill has not the
authority to take steps to protect his
city from riot, lawlessness and vio-
lence, caused i'll large measure as such
things always are caused, by liquor,
is the effect of the decision of Judge
John E. HUMPHREYS, of the federal
court, who enjoined Mayor Cotterill
from closing the saloons when a riot
occurred in this city Friday. The
decision is a federal interference with
local self government.
Buildings occupied by the Industrial
Workers of the World and Socialists
were sacked and furniture belonging
to the organizations were burned in
the streets, Friday night, by a mob of
civilians, led by sailors from the Pa
cifc reserve fleet. The violence &C.
Cured during the celebration of the
Potlatch festival.
Because of the riotous conditions,
Governor Cotteril did what any sober
minded official should do-namely, to
order the closing of the saloons. He
also ordered the suspension of the
Seattle Times, newspaper which at
tackled him and to whose editorial
utterances and news stories the mayor
claims responsibility for the riot is
largely due. The saloons and the
Times appealed to Judge HUMPHREYS
and obtained restraining order.

shall become Prohibition territory on
July II, 1915. An agreement was reach
ed few days ago by the executive
committees of both pros and ants
This morning the county commission
ers declared Anderson county wet in
the recent Prohibition election by six
teen majority. After it was made plain
that the pros would contest, which
would close the saloons for two years
pending final decision in the courts
as to whether or not fraud had been
used in the election, both sides got to-
gether and agreed on Prohibition in
1915.
It was also agreed by the anti-prohi-
bition committee that no election would
be held after the county went dry until
July, 1917, and this would give the
county two years of Prohibition before
an election could be held. Former Gov
ernor T. M. Campbell, one of the prin-
cipals on the Prohibition side, has been
active in trying to place Anderson coun-
ty in the dry column.

ANOTHER FOR ROCKWELL
Rides. Handwriting in Military
Event to an Easy
Victory.
ANOTHER FOR ROCKWELL

Yesterday was getaway day at the
Marlboro track, it being the tenth and
last day of the Southern Maryland Fair
and Racing Associations meeting, which,
by the way. has been the most success
full ever held at this course. Although
the weather has not been of the best
since the meeting opened surprisingly
large crowds visited the course each
afternoon and the racing was easily the
best ever. seen at a half-mile course. as
large and well matched fields went to
the post in each event
The closing day races at the track were
held under most disagreeable conditions.
for the heavy rain made the track a
perfect quagmire while at the same TIME
1t kept many OF the regular patrons
from Baltimore and Washington away,
yet IL must be admitted that the crowd
which attended yesterday was far above
expectations, and the same may be said
of the racing, which was excellent con-
sidering the condition OF the track.
There were seven events on the pro-
gram and. OF course. chief interest was
taken In the running OF the military race,
in which officers OF the United States
Army and Navy had the mounts. Hand

nation in the race OF the same kind

scored. so that Lieut. Rockwell has two
purses and the same number of cups to
remember Marlboro by. Handwriting
was an even money favorite for the race
and he won in the same manner that he
did in the other race. as he went right
to the front after the start was made
opened up d winning lead in the first
quarter and held his advantage all the
way. winning as his rider pleased by four
lengths.
Hannah Louise, who was second in the
other military event. also secured that
position in yesterdays event. as she held
IL all the way and beat Kyrat out by
five lengths. The last named was a
strong second choice. because he is
known to be a good mud runner but
his showing was a disappointing one.
This may have been due to the fact that
he>had a hard race in the steeplechase
that was run Friday. as he was outrun
in the early stages. but closed some
ground at the end. The second event at
mile and a sixteenth, brought out the
days best finish for. after Sylyestris,
the favorite, had led by a big gap for
