THE DATE IS CHANGED
Polytechnic Play to Be Given Thurs
day Night Instead of Fri
day Night.

Because of the fact that the date
chosen conflicted with the last num-
Der of the lecture course, the play,
THE Stubbornnesg of Geraldine" !"
will be produced at the high school
gym Thursday evening instead of
Friday evening as at first announced.
The Stubbornness of Geraldine
is four-act comedy written by the
late Clyde Fitch, and first produced
with Mary Mannering in the role of
Geraldine. The piece is exceptional
ly clean, free from slang and sensa-
tion, and is regarded as one of Mr..
Fitch's best efforts The students of
the Polytechnic have been working
diligently the past two months and
will be able to give an excellent pro-
duction. Tickets are on sale at
Lanes confectionery.

tions are that most of those drowned
were pedestrians or persons fleeting
from their homes and overwhelmed
by the waters
1t is expected many bodies will be
found down the Miami river lodged
in the debris. Persons reported
scores OF bodies sighted floating
down the river.
Thousands scofled the idea the
flood would endanger the city and,
unprepared, were caught in the rush
ing waters. The sanitary department
reports dozens of bodies in the de-
bris in one section of the city. In
many instances arms and legs are
visible, but il may be impossible to
reach them for several days. Naval
| reserves from the United States ship
Essex have arrived. A relief train
Thursday rescued $40 persons.
Investigation yesterday tended to
confirm the estimates of fewer than
500 deaths in the floods that swept
score of cities in Ohio and Indiana
last week as the waters receded from
Dayton, Columbus and other places,
leaving thick coating of mud.
Alarm is caused by the rapid rise
OF the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
inundating parts of the cities along
their banks.
There is not much danger of loss
of life in these places, however, as
the inhabitants have hill to flee to.

FAvORs EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Teddy Reiterates His Belief in Sex
Equality.

Madison, Wis, March 29.-In re-
sponse to a telegram sent by Rich
ard Lloyd Jones, asking that he tele-
graph Governor McGovern his posi-
ton on woman suffrage, Theodore
Roosevelt telegraphed the Governor
today as follows:
Il earnestly hope that all pro-
gressives in the Wisconsin legislature
will support the suffrage amend
ment. We, in America, should lead
the way in this movement. We do
not have to point to what has been
done abroad. The Pacific coast and
the Rocky mountain states have
tried the experiment and it has
worked admirably. There is no diff
ference between the work of the best
women and the best men, and il
seems to me sheer nonsense, when
both are doing the highest kind OF
WORK for good citizenship, that the
artificial line of sex should be drawn
as regards one form and only one
form of that work, the exercise OF
the right of suffrage.

OHIO VALLEY CITIES ARE IN DANGER
FLOODS ARE REACHING LOWER VALLEY AND MUCH DAMAGE IS
THREATENED, THOUGH WARNING WILL PREVENT LIFE LOSS

Cincinnati, March 29.-With near
ly $4,000 persons in towns on the
Kentucky side of the Ohio river
driven from their homes and with
$500 homes altogether or partially
submerged, the flood situation in
this vicinity is assuming grayer pro-
portions hourly.
In this city buildings on the water
front are partly under water, with
great damage. Newport and Cow
ington, opposite, are virtually sur
rounded by water. Conditions there
are worse than elsewhere with near
ly 10000 driven from their homes.
Relief measures are adequate, but
the danger lies in a stoppage of sew
ers and from decomposing vegetable
and animal matter There are sim
liar conditions in a number of other
towns on both sides of the river
The railway service is virtually at a
standstill.

Coroner Estimates Death List in City
at 2OO-Nearly 100 Children
of Flood Born.

Columbus. Ohio, March 2S.-The
morgues of Columbus filled up slow
ly tonight as the swollen waters of
the Scioto gradually receded. The
number of bodies recovered from the
flood reached 60.
Through the Temporary morgue
hundreds of survivors passed, dread
ing to find their missing loved ones.
Twenty+three bodies lay in tempo
rary morgue on the east bank of the
Scioto and 20 more were placed in a
recently constructed fire engine
house on the hilltop, Just west of the
flood district.
In the West Side morgue the flood
had cut off all electric bower and
the volunteer undertaEers worked by
the light of flickering candles and
lamps. Several bodies lay in small
undertaking shops in various parts
of the city. Reports reached C6lutt-
bus tonight that several bodies had
been seen floating in the river at
Circleville, 25 miles below here The
authorities believe these were VIC
tins of the Columbus flood and that
bodies of many u those who lost
their lives never will be recovered.
While bodies were picked up wher-
ever found today. the energies of the
authorities were directed toward res
cuing the thousands marooned on
upper stories, on roofs and in trees.
For miles along the swollen river
there are great drifts of debris.
Practically all the bodies recovered
have been taken from the edges of
these drifts as the waters receded
and the authorities believe that many
more are buried beneath them. No
attempt can be made to search these
drifts until the water subsidies. Cor
oner Benkert tonight said the death
list would reach zoo.
Great distress among the surviv-
ors was caused by the separation of
families and the consequent dread
that the missing Lad been drowned.
Since the rescue work nearly 100
children of the flood have been born.
The authorities opened a maternity
hospital tonight where the new moth
ers, with their babies, were cared
for.
When the motorboat rescuers were
forced by darkness to suspend their
work, half a score of blocks in the
worst of the flood district had not
been reached. In the upper floors
of houses in this district were many
survivors who had been without food
since Tuesday. An effort will be
made tomorrow to reach this section.
The river fell gradually today with
no indications of further high water.

Portable night. He enjoyed his meals
today, however, and took abundant
nourishment.

Columbus, Ohio, March 27.-That

SCIOTO YIELDS SIXTY PREPARATIONS RUSHED
Dallas and Other Southwestern Cities
Making Big Preparations for
Visiting ShI,iners.

Dallas, Texas.-The executive COM
mittee of Hella Temple is rushing
preparations for the meeting of the
Imperial Council, Ancient Arabic Or
der Mobiles Mystic Shrine, in this
city May 1915. Advices received
from every temple in Shrinedom in
dicates a large attendance and ar
rangements are being mode accord
ingly. The 1913 Imperial Shrine
meeting, it is declared, will be
marked by three big features that
will make it live long in history.
These features are the beauty of the
| souvenirs to be given Imperial Of
| ficers, representatives and visiting
Mobiles, the lavishness and brilliance
of the street decorations and the va
riety of entertainment features. A
complimentary tour of Texas for Wis
itinG officers, representatives and
their ladies is one of the big enter
tainment features and one that has
occasioned the most favorable COM
ment throughout Shrinedom.
The executive committee of HeIIa
Temple has recently awarded a con-
tract calling for an outlay of nearly
$4,000 in flags, colors, bunting and
carnival pennants for street decora-
tions. In addition there are to be
hundreds of emblazoned Shrine en-
blems used in the general decoration
scheme. All the downtown business
streets and several of the main thor
oughfares leading into the resident
districts are provided for. Mer-
chants and business men are cooper
ating with the committee on decora-
tion and are now closing contracts
for a superb decoration of their own
respective buildings.
The executive committee is with
holding the nature of the souvenirs
to be given visitors as they desire to
idNO lhOoC III VI q SUI
prise. Judging from the information
given out, they will be of nature
emblematic of the Order of the Mys-
tic Shrine and something that may
be kept in the years to come as a
reminder of Hella Temple and OF
Dallas.
Entertainment features galore have
been provided for out of fund of
100000 subscribed for that purpose
by local business men and members
of Hella Temple. Starting off with
Sunday, May II, the entire week will
be taken up with feature after fea-
ture-balls, banquets, parades, MeXi-
can dinners, receptions, drill con-
tests, band concerts, a wild west
roundup, winding up with a thou.

cities of Austin, San Antonio. Hous-
ton and Galveston will be visited
In fact, the entire southwest is
joining hands with Dallas to make
the 1913 Imperial Shrine meeting a
success from every standpoint. En-
tertainment preparations are being
made at Austin. San Antonio, Hous-
ton and Galveston for after the con-
vention. while several Oklahoma cit
les will endeavor to have the visitors
stop over en- route to Dallas so that
