RECORD OF WORK WELL DONE
Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign Fruitful of
Results for the Good of All
Mankind.
Some comparisons showing the pro
gress of the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign in the last eight years and the
present needs of this movement are
made by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
losis in a brief report of its work re
cently issued. During the eight years
of its work, the national association
has assisted in the organization of
over 800 state and local anti-tubercu
losis societies located in almost every
state and territory of the Union. Over
500 hospital and sanatoria have been
established, with more than 30,000
beds for consumptives. About 400
dispensaries, with more than 1,000
physicians in attendance and at least
150 open air schools for tuberculous
and anaemic children, have also been
provided. Laws dealing with tubercu
losis have been passed in 45 states,
and ordinances on this subject have
been adopted in over 200 cities and
towifs. An active field campaign of
education against tuberculosis has
been carried on in 40 states and ter
ritories by means of lectures, exhibits,
the press, and the distribution of over
100,000,000 pamphlets on this disease.
No Little Girl for Him.
The six-year-old son of a well-known
Indianapolis family attends a dancing
school. He is a chubby little fellow
who has not begun to stretch out yet,
and he keenly feels his "shortage.”
He demands that he be recognized as
a little “grownup.” Several days ago
the teacher planned to instruct her
pupils in dancing “the Butterfly.” A
five-year-old girl who is small for her
age, and just a trifle stouter than our
hero, but an adept at dancing, was
assigned as his patrner. He gazed at
her in silence. Then he took hold
of her hand and, with his mouth set
{irmly, walked straight over to the
teacher.

me a bigger girl?” he asked.—Indian

SULZER HURLS DEFI
AT TAMMANY FORGES
“No Organization Can Make Me
a Rubber Stamp,” Says New
York Governor.
Albany, N. Y.. March 81.—With th.
declaration tliat "No man. no party and
no organization can make me a rub
ber stamp.” Governor Sulzer made hla
heraiddd announcement of political in
dependence and his recognition of the
principle of county autonomy in the
distribution of patronage.
Thera was no direct reference to
Charles F. Murphy, but the governor
reiterated his declaration, made early
in the year, that he was the state lead
er, and said that statement had not yet
been challenged. Neither was there
any doubt as to whom he had in mind
when he gave his definition of county
autonomy.
"I have never been an agent and I
never will be. No man. no party and
no organization can make me a rub
ber stamp. I am the governor. Let no
man doubt that.
"No one has thus far challenged my
title to the governorship or my right
by virtue thereof to 'the_leadership ot
my party in the state, and until it is
challenged openly and publicly I rest
upon the Judgment of election day and
will say no more about it.
"I want to see each county in our
state politically free and independent
of political interference from any other
county and have the right to settle its
own political affairs in its own political
way.
"In the performance of my duties I
have no friends to reward, no enemies
|to punish, no ambition to gratify, no
machine to strengthen, no organization
to build up."
BANKER AND YEGG
SLAIN IN BATTLE
Barnes, Kan., March 31.—Robert
I. Brown, cashier of the Barnes State
bank, was shot and killed _ today by
a man who had robbed the institution.
Later a posse of citizens shot the rob
ber to death as he was trying to es
cape from the town with a bag of
gold. Brown met death when, instead
of obeying the order to throw up his
hands, he grabbed a revolver and fired
at the robber.
Brown was at the counter counting
money when he was confronted by a
masked man pointing two revolvers at
him.
"Put ’em up,” was the robber’s com
mand.
Brown, Instead ducked, reached into
the drawer, got his revolver and had
emptied it without effect in the direc
tion of the robber, before a bullet
through the head killed him. John
Potter, assistant cashier, appeared at
the back door and was met by two
bullets from the robber’s revolver,
neither of which struck him.
"You better not get in this,” sneered
the robber, who kept Potter covered
while he gathered into a bag $600 in
gold that had been spread before
Brown on the counter.
He then left the bank on the run.
Citizens, alarmed by the shooting, were
in pursuit before he had covered a
block.
Within three blocks of the bank he
fell before a volley of bullets, still
clutching the bag of gold In his hands.
He died within a few minutes.
The robber could not be identified. He
apparently was about 35 years old and
is believed to have been a member of
the “Wymore gang” of bank robbers
that has robbed a number of banks
along the Nebraska-Kansas line within
the last few years.
Brown was 40 years old. He leaves
a widow' and three children.
AGREE ON TERMS OF
INCOME TAX MEASURE
All Under $4,000 Exempt—
Fight for Free Raw Wool to
Be Waged in House.
Washington, March 31.—The tariff
revision, including a graduated Income
tax plan, was completed last night by
me uemucrauc majority or rne House
committee on ways and means, which
adjourned sine die. The president
probably will confer with Chairman
Underwood within a day or two.
The plan as finally passed upon is
understood to provide for raising the
income tax revenue on a graduated
scale, exempting incomes under $4,000,
beginning with a 1 per cent tax on
incomes of $4,000 and running as high
as 4 per cent on incomes of $100,000
and upward. It was said that the plan
retains the provisions for free raw sug
ar and free raw cotton and the 15
per cent tax on raw wool. A fight is
expected in both houses for a change
to free raw wool.
The net result of the committee work
will be outlined to the House caucus.

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY
ADOPTS MEASURES TO
CURE STOCK MARKET
Incorporation and “Blue Sky”
Bills Among Those Sent to
Senate for Action.
Albany, N. Y„ March 31.—The assem
bly has resisted the Influence of '‘In
visible government” and passed bills
designed to correct the evils of spec
ulation and to rehabilitate the New
York stock exchange in the eyes of
the people. The bills passed were
those recommended by Governor $ul
zer in a special message to the legis
lature. The measures, which will now
he sent to the senate, where “invisible
government” will try to accomplish
their defeat, were the following:
1. Compelling all exchanges deal
ing In bonds and stocks to incorporate
under the laws of the state.
2. Establishing a bureau of securi
ties under the control of the banking
department to supervise the character
of the securities offered to investors
and fashioned after the “blue sky
law” of Kansas.
3. Prohibiting stock brokers from
doing business on a "bucket shop”
basis.
4. Providing a jail sentence for
brokers rehypothecating the securities
of a customer,
6. Making It a crime to deceive the
public by means of fictitious transac
tions.
6. Prohibiting the stock exchange
from refusing orders from members
of the consolidated or other ex
change.
Governor Sulzer Gratified.
These bills, with two others, passed
by the assembly are now squarely tip
to the senate, the assembly having
swept its deck clear of every measure
relating to stock exchange reform rec
ommended by the governor.
When informed of the action of the
assembly, Governor Sulzer expressed
satisfaction.
“X am confident,” he said, “that the
senate will not be recreant to the duty
confronting it and will place these
measures on the statute books. The
bills, if properly enforced, will benefit
members of the stock exchange quite
as much as the public. As a matter of
fact, I believe that the greater benefit
will accrue to the stock exchange be
cause of the fact that the people will
have in that institution under the im
proved laws renewed confidence in con
ditions.”

the list of bodies recovered from the
water to 56. The water was subsiding
rapidly and the work of rescue was
thus made easier.
WILL FIGHT FLOOD.
Jefferson City, Mo., March 31.—Gov

WHOLE CONTINENT
TO AID SUFFERING
Contributions of Money Now
Amount to $1,000,000—Illi
nois Points Threatened By
Rising Streams.
Estimates of the number of persons
who perished in tne Ohio and Indiana
flood still differ widely early today,
especially at Dayton, where probably
the greatest loss of life occurred.
It was said by many business men
who are familiar with the city that
the number of dead would not exceed
160, while undertakers of Dayton esti
mated the deaths at 800.
Money and supplies are pouring In
from practically every part of North
America, including Canada and
Alaska.
Even the far away Island possession
of Hawaii has made a substantial con
tribution.
'$1,000,000 in Monsy.
Governor Cox said he had received
contributions amounting to $1,000,000
In money and that every hour brings
additional aid.
The national government, the Ohio
state government, chambers of com
merce and charitable organizations of
many cities are rushing food and medi
cal supplies to various cities in the
flood districts.
Secretary of War Garrison, with
MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of
staff, reached Cincinnati early this
morning and planned to be In Dayton
before noon.
The flood in the Ohio river from
Parkersburg, W. V&.. to Cairo, 111.,
today threatened heavy destruction to
property.
Citizens of Shawneetown, 111., ap
pealed to Governor Dunne last night
for tents in which to shelter people,
as It was feared the levees would
break and drive many from their
homes. Later, however, the sheriff
advised the governor that Immediate
assistance was not necessary.
Review of Situation.
Alonzo Burt, vice president of the
Chicago Telephone company, received
by wire the following analysis of flood
conditions in Ohio, compiled by E. A.
Reed, general manager of the Central
Union Telephone company at Colum
bus, where he has been directing relief
work:
ueiaware— wunout llgnt. water and
telephone service, 'city and country
people who are not affected are reliev
ing the local situation. No outside help
needed at. present.
Washington—City slightly damaged
and railroad and telephone facilities
somewhat crippled.
Newark—Transportation, telegraph
and telephone facilities crippled. Peo
ple are able to relieve their own suf
fering. Planning to send relief to
Zanesville.
Clrcleville—No suffering that can
not be relieved locally.
Lancaster—No .flood conditions re
quiring outside help.
Mansfield—Transportation and tele
graph lines crippled and city without
water and light, but these will be re
stored in 24 hours. No outside relief
needed.
Sidney—Merchants taking care of
the people. Both reservoirs considered
safe.
Troy—Local people able to take care
of the flood sufferers. Plenty of pro
visions.
Chlllicothe—Flood conditions very
bad; 5,000 people driven from their
homes and 600 families need assist
ance. Provisions available for one day.
Outside help needed, principally money
could be used more advantageously
than supplies supplied from distant
points.
Logan and Nelsonville—No help
needed.
Plqua—Needs' one additional com
pany of militia east of the river to pre
vent looting and protect property. Sup
plies being forwarded dally from
Greenville, Union City and Winchester,
Ind., on the west, and from Urbana on
the east. Well organized citizens In
charge of relief work.
Ottawa—Securing relief from Lima.
Lima and Defiance—-Both cities able
to take care of their own conditions.
MUDDY OOZE MAY COVER
MANY BODIES IN DAYTON
Dayton, March 81.—Digging bodies
out of the mud was the chief work of
rescuers today. The water had drained
off from almost all of the flood area,
leaving thick layers of mud, which In
some Instances, piled up by the eddies,
was several feet deep. It soon began
to dry up in portions of the streets ex
posed to the sunshine, but for six
blocks the searchers for bodies waded
through a sea of oozy slime.
A brilliant sunshine threw an un
canny light over the distorted area,
where the home of 76,000 people were
swept away or toppled over.
A view down almost any street re
vealed among the debris tumbled over
houses, pianos, household utensils and
dead horses brushed together In con
fusion. At two points the bodies of
horses were seen still caught In the
tops of trees where they had been
swept.
UVCI VII 1*1X3 IIUI III v.1 ■’"••I
where a relief station was established
under martial law in the Longfellow
school house, thousands of homeless
people gathered for supplies of food
and clothing. Every able bodied man
was pressed Into service. A man with
a megaphone stood at the door calling
out orders.
At least 30 people were drowned
when the Leonard building collapsed
Wednesday night, according to the
statement of Detective Kincaid today.
More than 20 persons were rescued
from the market houses near the city
building Thursday night by Edward
Schaeffer, who sat astride his horse
and swam Into the markets, carrying
a rope. About 20 people were trapped
In the markets and stood on meat
blocks. Schaeffer fastened the rope
around one after another and then po
lice officers and detectives in the
building pulled them to safety.
WILSON NOT NEEDED.
Washington, March 31.—Secretary
Garrison telegraphed President Wilson
today that it was perfectly safe to an
nounce to the country that relief was
being well taken care of by those on
the ground and that II would not be
necessary for him to leave Washington
for the flood district.
HAMILTON DEAD WILL
NOT EXCEED 100 MARK
Hamilton, Ohio, March 31.—Less than
100 Is the estimate today of the dead
In the flood here^
As the water recedes the evidences
of the property destruction are more
appalling, but the death list, it is said,
will not exceed 100.
Piled high on the east side of tbs
court house are caskets awaiting the
flood victims, whoso bodies are being
gathered as rapidly as possible.
DAYTON SITUATION
VASTLY IMPROVED;
LOSS EXAGGERATED
Flood Damage Placed at Around
$20,000,000 — Suffering Is
Intense, But Food Is
Plentiful.
Dayton, Ohio, March 29.—The flood
■ltuation In Dayton today is this:
Previous estimates of the number
drowned are greatly exaggerated.
The property loss from Are will not
exceed more than $1,600,000.
The damage caused to mercantile
houses, factories and residences ^ will
run anywhere from $16,000,000 to $20,
000,000.
The water has receded from the
business section of the city and from
a large portion of the residence district.
Residents in portions still Inundated
are being taken to sections not affected
by the flood.
There Is no lack of food.
The telephone systems are being re
stored.
There Is much suffering from cold,
but all available fuel has been ap
propriated and there Is prospect of
Immediate relief.
8o far there has been no epidemic
of disease.
One thousand militiamen, arriving
today, have the city in rigid control,
squelching looters, sightseers that will
Interfere with rescue work, and all
disorder.
Touring the business sections today,
officials found the high stage of the
flood was nine feet at the corner of
Third and Main streets, which is in the
very heart of the city. The on-rushing
water flooded the first floor of every
store . in the business district.
This constitutes the chief financial
loss. The tower or the steel high school
was leveled and the Leonard building
on Main street was undermined so
that it collapsed. Many houses were
swept away in Riversdale, West Day
ton, North Dayton and Kdgemont.
Buildings Withstood Flood.
The following buildings withstood
the flood and furnished shelter to
about 7,000 people who were marooned
in them from Tuesday until Thursday:
Conover building, Kuhns building,
the Arcade, two Cappell buildings,
Callahan building, Commercial build
ing, Mendenhal building, Rlce-Kunler
building, Reibold building. United
Brethren Publishing company's build
ing.
None of the public buildings were
destroyed. Among the latter were the
Dayton club, Victoria, National and
Colonial theaters, city hall, court
house, Beckel, Phillips, Algonquin and
Atlas hotels. Masonic temple, postof
flee, T. M. C. A. and all churches.
Daring Thief Thwarted.
The Are loss Is positively limited to
the destruction of the Dayton Gas,
Light and Power company's plant, the
row of two and three story buildings
from Jefferson street to St. Claire ave
nues, the Clay Pearl laundry plant and
two apartment house fires on the west
side.
A daring robbery was thwarted to
day when the police arrested a man
who was escaping from the city with a
satchel containing $50,000 In diamonds
and Jewelry, which he had stolen from
Jewelry stores
Alarming reports that looters well
armed, were active in the district from
which water had partly receded had
reached the headquarters of the emer
gency committee. Militia are prepar
ing an expedition to quell disorders.
A score of motorboats and the Ufa
saving boats were in the flood district
early today and by tonight it was hoped
relief would be extended to all flood
victims that were still alive.
Survivors Are Weak.
No effort wae being made to take out
any bodies, the flrst care being to pro
vide help for the living. The boats be
gan to return early from the nearer
sections, each depositing its load of
from 15 to 20 survivors. Most of the
people rescued were so weak from de
privation and suffering as to be scarce
ly able to move. At 8 o’clock several
hundred had been brought to the cash
register hospital on stretchers from the
south side of the river.
The situation was much brighter to
day. The trucks sent from the Cash
Register company manned by men with
military orders to confiscate potatoes
and food from the farmers, brought
back a good supply of vegetables and
several relief trains reached the city
with the supplies. The rescue work
had taken on the semblance of system
and all the streets from which the
flood had receded were patrolled by
militia. People were urged to get back
to their houses whenever possible.

Fewer Fatalities.
Chief of Police Allabaek today told
the Associated Press correspondents
that reports he had received Indicating
the number of fatalities to be far less
than early conditions Indicated. As
nearly as can be ascertained, about 100
persons were drowned in Rlverdaie, the
first section of the city to be flooded.
The rushing waters overturned several
houses there and rolled them over and
over wtih their occupants Inside.
In eastern Dayton, Dayton View and
Oakwood the loss of life. Chief Alla

ton where the topography of the land
made the situation more dangerous
than at any other point, relief parties
penetrated this morning and found that
although there would be a large num
ber of fatalities, the number of drowned
was not likely to be relatively much
greater than in Riverdale, the other
section that bore the elder brunt of the
flood.
