Victims of the water's wrath suffered again today in a cold, smarting rain. Refuse Fooad for Sooo. Nevertheless rescue work went steadily on and about 3000 persons are housed in places of refuge tonlght- the majority of them In buildings of the National Cash Register Company. At least 65,000 persons are imprisoned In homes and in business buildings. It is feared their two days' Imprisonment, with accompanying hunger and fright. have caused tremendous suffering. The flood came with such sudden ness that food supplies In homes were whisked away by the torrent in almost the flash of an eye. Skiffs skirted the edge of the flooded district attempt ing to furnish food to those whom it was impossible to rescue, but the fierce current retarded the work. Dayton practically was cut oft from wire communication until late this af ternoon. Then two wires into Cin cinnati were obtained and operators plunged into great piles of telegrams from Dayton citizens, almost frantic in their desire to assure friends outside of their safety. Operators at opposite ends of the wires reported that thou sands of telegrams were piled up at relay offices. These were from per sons anxious over the fate of Dayton kinsmen. I'eople Ben; Froaa 'Windows. Two oarsmen who braved the cur rent that swirled through the business section today reported that the water at the Algonquin Hotel, at the south west corner of Third and Ludlow streets, was 15 feet deep. From win dows In the hotels and business build ings hundreds of the marooned begged piteously lor rescue and food. The oarsmen said they saw no bodies floating in the Hood tide, but that many persons must have perished in the water's sudden rush through the streets, Oarsmen who worked In the out skirts of the business section tonight reporteu that zoo persons marooned in the Arcade building and 200 impris oned In the Y. M. C. A. building were beirging for water. A shortage of provisions was threat ened this afturnoon, when it was re ported many relief trains bound tc Dayton from neighboring cities had been stopped by hlsh water. Every grocer In the city had been "sold out" l-efore noon. It was believed that the relief trains might creep in in the niuht. Relief Kxpceted at Dayllaht. Enccuragement was received tonight in a message from the Mayor of Spring field, who said he was sending six big trucks loaded with provisions, that should reach Dayton early tomorrow. Wlrh the arrival of motorboats tonight It v.-aa hoped to begin at daylight dis tributing provisions. Messages from the flood prisoners in the business district said children were crying for milk, while their elders suf fered from thirst that grew hourly. Volunteers were called for tonight to man boats that will brave the danger ous currents tomorrow in an attempt to get food to the suffering. A report that the dam above Dayton threatens to break added to the city's terror tonight. If the dam breaks It will pour in a volume of water that will retard rescue work for days. Reports that Fire Chief Ramby lost lils life while attempting to reach a floating house have not been con firmed. Stadeata Hela Tame Itaosha. A gang of roughs went through the southern part of the city late tonight. Instructing the people to extinguish all iignts for fear of a gas explosion, and then began raiding. University stu dents from Cincinnati and the traffic omcers dispersed them. "Our greatest need Is a dozen motor- ooai ana men to run them." a sentence in an appeal sent out by J. II. Patter son, president of the- National Cash Itegister Company, and chairman of the relief committee, gives a good in sight into the flood situation. Skiffs ana row coats cannot live In the tor rents rushing through the city's prin cipal streets. The big plant of the National Cash Register Company In the southwestern part of the city, the portion least af fected, has been made relief headquar ters until a system insuring a quick and accurate identification of refugees lias been established. As persons are rescued they are taken to one of sev eral sub-relief stations, where their names are recorded and they receive first aid. At frequent intervals these lists were sent to relief headquarters and announced to crowds who waited in the rain for hours. Tkoamaada Maroened la Homes. Thousands of persons are marooned in their homes without food, water or heat. Dawn came m-ith a cold wind that became more penetrating before noon, when rain began to fall and con tinued throughout the day. Two expert oarsmen. Fred Patterson and Nelson Talbott. conquered the cur rent for a short distance on Main street late this afternoon. "Ve penetrated almost to the center of the city.- Patterson said. "Every where persons cried out to us to res cue them, but It was impossible, for we were barely able to keep afloat. Large sums of money were offered us to take persons from perilous positions The windows of the Algonquin Hotei seemed filled with faces, and the same conditions prevailed at most of the buildings we passed. We did not see any bodies." DAYTON, 0., SCENES WHERE WATER NOW IS RUSHING THROUGH BUSINESS SECTION, AND WHERE FIRES ARE LAYING WASTE VALUABLE , PROPERTY.

NIGHT HALTS RESCUERS 50 TO I GO STILL BELIEVED TOI BE DEAD IX JI1DDLETOWX. Although Water Falls Two Feet, Ac curate Toll Cannot Be Taken and Hundreds Are Hungry. MIDDLETON, O., March 2. Dark ness tonight put an end to all relief work here, and the situation, insofar as Information is concerned, is nine better than it was at this time last lrht. The casualty list cannot be estimat ed with any degree of accuracy until he waters have subsided consicteraDiy. The flood fell two feet today, but here is still a large amount of water that must run out before the work of counting the dead is begun. It Is still believed that from 59 to 100 have been laimed by the waters. The relief work today was the Desi that could be expected under the con ditions snd had daylight lasted four hours longer the suffering would have been relieved to a marked degree. As It was. the water was too high and swift to risk relief work In the dark ness in which the town is shrouded.: The City Council today made Ho.soo available Immediately for relief, tut this will only be a detail of whaC Is needed. There are hundreds tonl?ht who are feeling the pangs of hunger. These were the entrapped ones who could not be reached during daylight by the rescuers. . Stories of heroism are being gleaned from the men and women who escaped. Every able-bodied person, man or two- man, was pressed Into service lnt re lief work and responded readily toj the call.

Van Cleave Schoolhouse, after much 1 diffi culty, but it will be tomorrow before concise facts as to the extent of the damage to property and loss of ltfe are known. The west levee of the Big ,-Miaml River, that went out yesterday morn ing, carried death and destruction in its wake. The immensity of tSie de struction Is beyond description. Fire broke out in the business section of the city tonight and a drenching rain added to the discomfort. The dead are being removed from the streets In North Dayton and it is apparent that the death list will run Into hundreds and perhaps tlusands before the extent of the catastrophe is known. Kefugees are being cared for In the public schools and churches. Fire has already destroyed many of the largest buildings and hotels and the lty Hall and police headquarters have been abandoned. The river has tfallen six feet in the last 24 hours and many buildlnps are undermined. The water1 supply has been cut off In tle business district. It is impossible al this time to estimate the loss. The eel!ef com mittee asked Governor Coot to rush troops to Itiverdale and Bqookville. LAST SPAN GOES OUT fcolumbus, 0., Still Is Torn by Scioto Flood Waters. 100 TO 150 REPORTED DEAD False Rumor That Great Storage Dam Had Broken Creates Wild Panic and Many Collapse in Hysteria and Fear. COLUMBUS, O, March 26. With no change in the number of reported dead In this city, estimates placing the probable dead at from 100 to 150, Columbus was still being wrenched and torn tonight by the flood waters of the Scioio and Olentangy rivers. The scene of devastation of the west side was partially made visible today to residents of other sections of the city for- the first time in two days. Later the Isolation of the western section again became real, when the last remaining bridge gave way be fore the torrents. False Rumor Spread. Besides the actual tragedies that have been enacted in connection with the flood here, the most exciting In cident occurred late today at the false announcement that the storage dam. several miles north of tne city, had broken, sending its great flood to aug ment that of the Scioto River. ' The scene that followed was one of wild panic In all parts of the city. Patrolmen, soldiers and citizens In automobiles, tooting horns, ringing gongs and calling through megaphones warning everyone to seek -satety in the highest parts of the east side, sent thousands in flight, while many, stunned by the supposed Impending disaster, collapsed from fear or gave way to hysteria. Dam Seems to Hold. . It was more than an hour before the report was officially denied. Re sponsibility for its origin has not been lixed. Police officials assert that the report was made to them by persons connected with the military end of the patrol service. Officials said tonight that the stor age dam was holding fast against the millions of gallons of water that is being poured against it, and they ex pressed confidence that it will continue to do so. No relief fias been brought tonight to the scores of cities and towns of the state that are Inundated and cut off from the outside world. Darkness prac tically thwarted rescue work and in creased the horrors of the situation J rnousanos or persons are imprisoned. Although the water in some places is reported to be slowly receding there was no immediate relief in sight tonight while the rain continued. 50 More Reported Lost. In many of the flooded districts cities and towns -are isolated and only rumors can be obtained. 4 At Delaware, - 25 miles north of Columbus, the Inhabitants are still noodbound. The dead number 33. This town, not unlike others, is isolated. From Sidney comes the report that from 100 to 500 have been drowned. Tiffin reported at least 50 lives lost. Stratford, a town near Delaware, ac cording to an unconfirmed report from a farmer who reached Delaware today, was swept away and 100 drowned. Communication Cut Off. According to a wireless message re ceived at the .Ohio State University here this afternoon from Mount Ver non, probably 100 have lost their lives in this town. Reports from the eastern part of the state indicate a heavy death toll. Zanesvllle, on the Muskingum River, according to reports tonight, was largely under water and several build ings are reported to have collapsed. Wire communication was cut" off early tonight when the Western Union tele graph office was flooded. The operator's last words were that the town was un der water; that a building next to Che telegraph office had fallen and that he would have to get out. The last available Information from these places was that they were par tially or wholly "submerged. Marietta and McConnellsville were reported to be under several met of water. Chilli- cothe, Portsmouth" - Ironton and all points In. the Miami Valley south are cut off from communication. Reports from Akron late today were that at least 500 families are homeless.

' Organised Relief t Is Plan. The telegraph companies are making no promises of getting mesages through from Portland to. any of the affected cities. They . are accepting them but 'are not guaranteeing their delivery. A. H". Averill, president of the Port land Chamber of Comerce, sent a tele pram to Governor Cox, of Ohio, yester day morning offering financial aid in the relief work. Although he has had no reply he feels sure that help from the outside will be needed. . As soon as word comes from officials of the suf fering communities local relief head- Quarters will be opened. Mayor Rushlight has offered the aid of the municipality In assisting the flood sufferers." The Commercial Club and other com mercial organizations are ready to give liberally to the proposed relief fund. Lodges Start ReUef Work: Aside from this public work many Portland lodges have opened direct communication with their affiliated organizations in Dayton, Terre Haute and other cities in the storm belt in I the hope of being able to offer immedi ate assistance. The following appeal was issued yes terday by the Royal Arcanum in Port land: At a meeting of the Beg-entft of the Royal Arcanum Councils of Portland it was decid ed to ask all the members to contribute 50 cents each for a relief fund to send Kasl tor the beenfit of our brothers who have been so heavily afflicted by the recent dis astrous calamities. At no time since the San Francisco earthquake have so many people been afflicted as during the past few days. Portland Arcanians contributed lib erally to the assistance of the San Francisco brethren and they were mighty grateful for the needed help. We believe help U now required more than then and we trust all the brethren here will respond quickly. Those who wish may give more than 60 cents if they desire to do so. Send your contribution to the Collector of the Council of which you are a member.

The research laboratory of The Swift Specific Co. has collected a vast amount of information regarding the spread of blood diseases. In thousands of Instances the most virulent types have been the re sult of coming In contact with disease germs in public places, and the apparent ly insignlncant pimple has been the cause. It spreads with astonishing ra pidity, often infecting the entire system In a few days. It Is fortunate, however, that there Is a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly with such a condition, and thanks to the energy of Its producers the famous S. S. S. may not be had at almost any drug store in the civilised world. This preparation stands alone among specific remedies as a blood purifier. It is somewhat revolutionary in its compo sition, since It accomplishes all that was ever claimed for mercury. Iodides, arsenic and other destructive mineral drugs, and yet it is absolutely a purely vegetable product-. There are more cases of artic ular rheumatism, locomotor ataxia, pa resis, neuritis and similar diseases result ant from the use of minerals than from disease germs direct. These facts are brought out In a highly Interesting book compiled by the medical department of The Swift Specific Co., 127 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. It is mailed free, together with a special letter of advice to all who are struggling with a blood disease. - Get a $1.00 bottle of S. S. S. to-day of your druggist It will surprise you with. iia wonderful action, in the blood.
