ed When Hotel Collapses
CINCINNATI, O., March 27. Revis
ed estimates of the loss in Dayton
give ground for hope that the dead
in all sections affected by the flood
will not exceed 2000 "and may go he-!
low that figure. Daring investigators
who penetrated the flood section, re
vealed hundreds of persons safe who
it was feared were lost.
Unless swelled by the death list in
the foreign settlement on the North
side, as yet unreached, there may not
be more than 200 dead in the whole
city. In other points than Dayton the
death list grew rapidly. j
There was far heavier loss of life
in the West side of Columbus, O., than
was thought. One estimate placed :
the number of dead at' . more than
600.
Apparently authentic reports from .
Piqua indicated 20 dead.
At Peru, Ind., the authorities es
timated the death list would reach at
least 150.
From Hamilton, O., 50 persons were
reported drowned in the collapse of
a hotel where they had sought refuge.
Twenty-five deaths were reported
from Troy, O., 30 in Middletown and
five in Massilon.
Deaths from the flood in Chillicothe
will not exceed 25, according to lat
est advices. Early advices were that
from 200 to 500 lives iad been lost.
A report from Linton, Ind., gave 16
persons drowned at Howesville, 25
miles south of Terre Haute.
There were ten deaths in Sharon, '
Pa. j
Estimates are that 70,000 persons
were marooned in Dayton's flooded
district, where 16,000 homes have j
been submerged. Rescue stands are j
provided for 5000 homeless. The '
property damage in the city is figur- j
ed at $25,000,000. j
Rumors that the Grand Reservoir i
near St. Mary's, O., has broken prov-J

HELP SUFFERERS
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE PLANS
RAISING FUNDS FOR
VICTIMS
BIG MEETING IS TO BE HELD TODAY
Dr. A. L. Beatie Making Arrangements
to Ship Potatoes to Strick-
en Ohio and Indiana
Oregon City and Clackamas County
stand ready to give succor to the vic
tims of the floods in Ohio and Indiana.
A meeting of the Publicity Commit
tee of the Commercial Club will be
held this morning at 10 o'clock at
the publicity building to determine the
best way of aiding the sufferers. All
public spirited citizens are urged to
attend. B. T. McBain, president of
the Commercial Club, said Thursday
evening he was certain that Oregon
City and Clackamas County would do
all in their power to aid the unfor
tunates. '
"This is a generous community,"
said Mr. MbBain. "Our people have
never failed to do their part when a
great calamity was at hand. Accord
ing to all information our country has
suffered its greatest catastrophe, and
it behooves us to do all we can to al
leviate the suffering of the people of
Ohio and Indiana. That there will be
a liberal response here to the appeal
of President Wilson and Governor
Cox, of Ohio, I have no doubt. All
citizens are urged to attend the meet
ing today. Money, I think is what he
stricken sections need. '-
Dr. A. L. Beatie, of the Oregon
Commission Company, announced
Thursday afternoon that arrangements
were being made in this city to aid
the flood sufferers in Ohio and the
tornado victims in the Middle West.
Dr. Beatie is negotiating with the
Southern Pacific Railroad regarding
the shipping of a car load of potatoes
East. The car will be shipped provid
ing the railroad company will furnish
the transportation. L. E. Bentley, a
prominent Clackamas County farmer,
has agreed to give 30 sacks .of pota
toes and the Oregon. Commission
Company has agreed to furnish ' the
same amount. Many other merchants
and farmers are willing to furnish
potatoes and other supplies and all
persons desiring to aid should tele
phone to Dr. Beatie at once. The
Oregon Woolen Mills has . donated
f50 for the flood sufferers.
County Judge Beatie announced
late Thursday night that he would
call a meeting of the county court to
day to consider sending 20 carloads
of potatoes to the stricken districts
in Ohio and Indiana. It has been sug
gested that the county purchase the
potatoes from Clackamas County
farmers and that they be shipped at
once, if the railroads will not charge
for shipping them. It also has been
suggested that banners bearing signs,
"Clackamas County's Donation to
Flood Sufferers" be placed on the
cars. Judge Beatie said that he had
no idea what action the court would
take, but he thought the matter was
of sufficient importance to be given
consideration.
DR.FORD TO CONTINUE
MEETINGS FOR HEN
The meetings for men held in the
Woodman Hal under the auspices of
the Brotherhood of the Mtethodist
Episcopal Church, Sunday afternoons,
during the special evangelistic ser
vices conducted by Dr. T. B. Ford
were of such interest that the Brother
hood has decided to continue them,
and Dr. Ford, who has been deliver
ing the addresses on live questions,
invites the cooperation of all chris
tian men in maintaining these services
and invites all men of all relations,
conditions, faiths ' and no faith ,to
come, and assures them that they
will receive a cordial welcome. There
'will be special music music that
will thrill men. It is to be made a
popular service for men, a men's re
sort. The meetings will be held
Sunday afternoons at 3 o'clock. Dr.
Ford will speak next Sunday . on a
question that every man is interested
in, "Am I My Brother's Keeper?'' He
believes in the conversion of child
ren and women, and in bringing them
into the church, but he wants men for
; the kingdom husbands, fathers, and
young men. No man is so high or
so low that he is out of the reach of
the church, says Dr. Ford. "Where
Is Thy Brother"?, is a question you
must answer, declares the minister.
E

ARRESTED BY CHIEF
Charged with operating freight
trains through the city during the day
in violation of a city ordinance, John
Erb, conductor, and Ray Reinke, mo
torman, of train No. 1405 andJ. D.
Hatfield, conductor, and C. W. Bur
nett, motorman, of train No. 1402,
were arrested Thursday morning by
Chief of Police Shaw. The ordinance
provides tnat the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company shall oper
ate freight trains, through the city
only from 10 o'clock at night until
6 o clock in the morning unless a per
mit is obtained from the Mayor. The
men arrested Thursday did not ob
tain permits from the Mayor. They
said that they were hauling gravel for
a walk between this city -and Cane
mah, and thought the ordinance gave
them a right to do so. They will have
a hearing before Recorder Stipp this
morning.
Dr. A. L. Beatie, who has been giv
en a franchise for furnishing a gas
plant for Oregon City and the right ;
of way over the streets for - mains, '
announced Thursday that the plant
probaDly will be in operation within
one year. The franchise will expire !
in 25 years: Dr. Beatie was given
a franchise more than two years ago,
but defects in it caused trouble In fi
nancing the proposition. The action
of the council at the last meeting rem-;
edied these defects and now the hold- .
er of the franchise says he will have ;
no trouble in obtaining all the capital
necessary. . . i
Oregon City has had electric lights j
for many years, but has never had a 1
gas system. As a result when any--thing
happens to the electric light j
system, the residents of the city nave
to resort to candles and kerosene ;
lamps. Dr. Beatie believes that most
of the residents will have gas connec-!
tions as a safeguard and for cooking !
purposes.
"1 expect to get money for building
and equipping the plant in Portland :
and Seattle," said Dr. Beatie. "No ;
doubt part of it could be obtained
here, but I believe it a good plan to
get all the outside capital possible.
The plan is to have a complete coal
gas plant. About $125,0000 will be
necessary to build the plant and lay
mains on Main and Seventh Streets.
This done, the system will be extend
ed gradually. It is planned to have
a corporation."

CITY ATTORNEY INTERPRETS LAW
Stone Declares That Roller Skating on
Sidewalks Is Violation of Or
dinance Women Urge
Moderation
.The Oregon City council is divided
regarding the right of children to
skate on the sidewalks. Councilman
Albright, chairman of the committee
on police and health, is confident that
the children have no right to skate
on the sidewalks, and has issued in
structions to the police to put a stop
to the practice. It is contended that
the children obstruct the sidewalks
and where there are grades, endan
ger the pedestrians. Councilman Hol
man contends that there is nothing
in any of the city ordinances prohib
iting the children from using the side
walks for roller skating.
Councilman Albright calls attention
to Section 6 of an ordinance relating
to the use of public streets, highways
and alleys of Oregon City, passed No
vember 17, 1897. City Attorney Stone
says the ordinance prohibits roller
skating on the sidewalks. The sec
tion follows:
'It shall be unlawful for any person
to play at ball or throw any stones
