Orville Wright and
Family Suffer from
the Dayton Flood
SOUTH DAYTON, O., March ai.-Orvllle
Wright, who, ilka thousands of .other
Daytonlans, was engaged today in shovel
ing mud from his home, had no chance
to use an aeroplane when the flood came.
When the warning of the flood camn.
his father, Bishop Wright, and his sis.
ter, Kathcrlnc, left the home In a wagon.
In some way they became separated and
for two clays the Inventor could not find
his father who, however, had experienced
no mishap. Orville Wright fled soon
after his father and sister and found
refuge on the high ground.
Fire broke out in a building near the
old shop whero tho Wright brothers
worked for so many years In perfecting
their flying machine. In the shop were
Invaluable plans and data dealing, with
the construction ot aeroplanes and navl
gatlon of tho air. Orville was greatly ro
lloved tojlnd that the flames had spared
the shop and its contents.
At a meeting of tho relief committee
and member's of tho city council who
have been relieved of active participation
In tho city government, the coun.cllmen
declared their Individual willingness to
co-operate n all necessary measures for
the protection and rehabilitation or the
city. It was decided to appropriate $50,000
of the relief fund to the fled Cross to be
expended )n purchasing tho bare necessi
ties which will permit destitute families
to re-establish homes of a sort until they
can Improve their own condition. V
A court-martial was organised today"
with forty petty cases on the docket.
This court must try such. cases lis the
municipal Justice courts have been super-
j seded in under martial law. Reports that
looters have been shot are untrue, ac
cording to statements by- those In au
thority. Thero have teen rumors ot
such occurrences, but none has been con
firmed. In none of the morgues Is there
a body showing bullet" wounds.
Guards have fired shots to frighten sus
picious characters, bu't never have shot

lie known that he had suffered a
Tous attack before his departure for
jrope, but rallied so rapidly that It was
'not considered' a forerunner to fatal Ill
ness and was known only to his most
Intimate friends.
For many years Mr. Morgan spent a
considerable portion of his time abroad,
but on this trip, for the first time, ho
severed, all .connection with, business af
fair, and permitted his partners to
Bhoulder- all- responsibility foraheir -con-;

taking such a complete rest since he en
tered the banking business in this city
before the civil war.
ProralnenUbankers In this city Bald this
morning they did not predict any decided
unfavorable effect on the stock market
by reason of Mr. Morgan's death. The
reason of this, they explained, was 'hat
the recurrent rumors of his serious UN
ness had prepared the market for any
possibility and enabled those engaged, in
market operations to prepare for lust
such a situation.
Stuck: Mnrkei Little Affected.
Tho stock market bore up well under
the news of Air. Morgan's, death. Open

most no cane exceeded a point. Support
ing orders rallied the market quickly.
Trading showed no evidence jt' nervous

the request ot 3. Plerpont Morgan, Jr.,
now J. I. Morgan, ot the small army

he left his home In Madison avenue this

Dae to Inveattffatlon.
ItOMB, March ?1.-Dr. M. Allen Starr
of New York, called Into consultation for
J. Plerpont Morgan's Illness, attributed
the financier's breakdown to emotion
caused by the 'Investigation carried out
by the PuJo committee at Washington
Into the operation of the "money trust."
Sometime before morning the condition
of Mr. Morgan grew worse. He then
seemed to have lost consciousness and
did not recognize his son-in-law and
daughter, Mr, and Mrs. Herbert I Sater
lee. The financier was unable to answer
questions and even with signs, but hope
was not yet abandonrj. owlm; to the
robustness of his constitution.
