make it comfortable,
c 2. To buy any corset

These fabrics are Nemo

There are imitations, all made

lltIclo ITnilcrtnUcra.
Tho nctrlty of certnln local undertak
ers called forth the wrath of Major Dupuy,
who Issued a ntatoment In which he
called them "Ghouls" for their feverish
activity In seeking out bodies, and It !
alleged, sonio times burying; them with
out mahlnc roport to the authorities. Ho
declared that they were "trylnjj to work
a hold-up came on helpless friends and
relatives of those who have lost their
liven."
Chairmen of the various committees
were unanimous today In asking that
word be spread broadcast that tners
sIshtseclnR visitors are not wanted hert.
The railroads have been Informal uf this
attitude and conductors are refuuInR tD
accept passenccro who cannot ihov that
their prescnco here Is necessary.
There were thousands of visitors .n the
city today. Mont of them were iron sur.
roundlnc towns. The signs "llillsf car"
which many of them bore wore manifest
fo gcrlcn. The majority of the bodies of
tho flood victims will be found hurled
under the debris In the Mlat"! canal,
under great plies of wrecfcae -tnd far
down thi river at Mlnmlshurg-, Atlddle
town and Hamilton, In the opinion 'if men
who have examined the ground.
Ffw Cnnght In Home.
Ji"ew pooplo were caught In thilr homss,
as most all of them had received suffi
cient warning of the approaching nlsns
tor to enable them to get out nerote tho
flood assumed dangerouB proportions.
Those who woro drowned, for tho most
part, were caught In the streets, Mtnor
vhllo on iholr way to their tU:g t
business or cmploymtnt, or while tryina
to got to places of safety when forced to
Iloo from their houses.
Lloutcnant I-catherman, surcon of the
Third regiment, Ohio National Guard,
who went throuah the flood In West
Dayton, said that ho saw scor of dead
bodies floating down tho Ml.iml rlvr
and many people wore swimming, nut
there was not one chance In ten thousand
that thce were saved, ho -mid. Tho
water was Icy cold and tho current ter
rific. "The flood" ha i elated, "came when
hundreds of people wero In thy stioctJ.
ncofflng at the Idea that a flood could
con-.o. Hadn't the levees always pro
tected them? Had Dayton ever had t
serious flood? Why bo alarmnd? Ana
50 they woro carried to thlr death.
How many, of course, no one knows ex
actly." flodlrn Lniler WrPcknKr
In one district, it "as stated at sani
tary department headquarters, dozens of
bodies could bo seen under plies of
wreckage, hero a hand and there a foot
flicking out from mulct tho debris. Ef
forts weio diiected for several hours In
an attempt to get at these bodies, hut
none had been taken out when night foil.
The work of extending succor to tho
marooned Inhabitant)! of tho districts
which still are flooded continued during
the day. In many sections wero to bo
seen rowboats, skiff and canoes making
their wuy with extreme difficulty among
the heaps of wreckage and overturned
houses, among meshes of telegraph, tele
phone and electric light wires, seeking
out possible victims who had been un
carcd for. Among tho organizations en
gaged In rescue work is tho company of
naval reserves from tho United Htates
ship Essex at Toledo, under command of
Captain A. R Nlcklelt. TIib company
reached Dayton irti a Hpeclal relief train
from Toledo on Thmsday and immedi
ately launched n number of boats In tho
raging torrents which were swooping tho
city from end to end. Up to 6 o'clock
tonight the sailors had been fonstnntly
on duty and had to their credit a total
of 970 rescued and they were not thinking
of sleep when darkness fell

One crew. In comma n i of Knslgn E. K.

sons from the business section and that
district immediately east of Main street
and west of Eaglo street. Many of the
people were taken from their homes only
after the sailors had mounted to the tops
of partially overturned houses and
chopped their way through to the attics,
where the Inmates were huddled together
waiting for death to ent-r.
Another crew, under Junior Lieutenant
Ross Wllloh, succeeded In saving 30),
while three boats In command of Senior
Lieutenant Theodore Schmidt rescued 214
persons. The majority of these lattor
were taken from box cars, warehouses,

n VIM lor Allimril,
Only tboso doing relief work or having
official business were allowed out of
doors lifter C o'clock tonight. With tho
additional military forces which arrived
the city was thoroughly policed. Tho
city was In darkness again tonight. Kven
with tho careful policing during the last
few nights some robbing has been done.
It hns been Impossible to do much relief
work at night, nnd the ourfew order was
duo In purt to the udvlslbtllty of keeping
tho men where they can protect thoir
own households. If necessary. Fronts ot
stores have been broken down and mer
chandise exposed. Some of this has been
stolen. One tblef gnthcred a quantity
of Jewelry and was making away with It
In a traveling bag when arrested. Major
Dupuy Is angered at certain undertakers
and expressed It In the following state
ment: "These body snatching ghouls
who operate us undertakers will be
treated as they deserve. If It takes tho
entire military power ut tho command
of tho medical department of the Ohio
National Guard. There are a number of
reliable undertakers In Dayton who
have compiled strictly with tho order
to report tho recovery of all bodies, but
thero have been reports received here
of numerous Instances of undertakers
grabbing bodies nnd rushing them to
their own establishments. Then they
either prey on tho grief stricken relatives
or tho public will have to pay for the
burial of the unidentified dead.
3l:iy. Arrest Duilertnkrra.
"All medlcnl nnd military officers have
received orders to promptly nrrest any
undertaker or other person, who recov
ers a body and does not Immediately re
port It to this department. It was said
at military headquarters that a total of
only forty-six bodies was reported up to
this evening, although It was known that
no less than 121 bodies had been taken
to different moigues nnd to private
homes. Tills was ascertained by a com
putation of returns made by different
rescuing squads engaged In the flooded
districts."
Major Dupuy stated that he fears an
epidemic of some kind, unless the most
rigid sanitary rules are enforced.
"Thero nre thousands of dead horses
and other animals strewn about the
city," said tho surgeon. "While wo are
pressing Into servlco largo number of
pose of tho carcasses ns many of these
are burled beneath great heaps of heavy
wreckage, which it Is necessary to re
movn before tho bodies can bo taken to
the Incinerating plants.
All Ilrilir Slock DrMroyetl.
"To add to the menace of tho situa
tion wo found that with ono or two ex
ceptions every i-tock of drugs It; Day
ton was destroyed by tho flood. Many
of our officers are without medical or
surgical supplies. A lieutenant doctor
enmo to mo today begging for supplies.
Hp said ho had several obstetrical enscs
to euro for, besides several urgent surgi
cal cases, but had nothing to work with.
Medical knowledge does not do a man
much good If he hns not drugs and in
struments. "Already thero ore a considerable num
ber of sick people, hut we aro maklirc
every offort possible to care for theso
patients. A maternity hospital has been
establish In Dayton View, an emer
gency hospital Is being operated under
extreme difficulties, however In the court
house, and a hospital for contagious
diseases already is treating several cases
of chlckuupox, mumps and measles.
"There are Innunmerable cns of u
grippe, pneumonia, acute rheumatism,
toiibllltls and the like being treated by
the doctors of our corps, and many other
cases have been- reported by local
physicians."
Major Dupuy stated that the city has
been divided Into six sanitary districts,
caoh district In chargo of an officer of
the sanitary corps of the National
Guard.
As It will be several weeks before the
sewer system Is In operation again, a
large corps of men will be kept active
In disposing of refuse and In disinfecting
ull promises occupied by refugees, Strict
orders regarding the disposition of gar
bage have, been Issued, and the people
have been advised by means of bulletins,
posted In conspicuous places In the
streets, how best to prererve the public
health.
A small army of sanitary Inspectors
has ben pressed Into service and every
ffort will be made to prevent any out'
break of a pestilence. It was owing to
th4 frightful ilood conditions throughout

After Secretary Garrison hnd talked over
