CITY VIRTUALLY REBUILT AFTER 1913 DISASTER Flo tJs Here Left 15,000 h jmeless; Damage Toll in Millions. With the state and city today recovering from a flood threat, Indianapolis residents recalled the inundation of 1913 that, twenty years ago Saturday, made 15,000 homeless! in the city and damaged millions of dollars worth of property. The flood that killed persons in every part of the state and brought f Indiana one of its greatest major calamities, occurred two days after Easter Sunday. On Saturday, March 22, Indianapolis newspapers carried ; tories that fair weather would be on hand Sunday for "the biggest and best Easter day parade.'’ But the sunshine failed to materialize. Instead rain, which was to last five days and nights, started to fall. However, "easterly winds”; were predicted for the following day. These proved to be a cyclone which took the lives of twenty persons and made 1,000 homeless in Terre Haute. C'reeek Leaves Banks Meanwhile, Indianapolis fought : heavy rains, and on Monday, March i , 24. the first of scores of families was rescued by boat from their home on Kentucky avenue near Eagle creek. Eagle creek had left; its banks and George Crunk Sr, and his wife and children were taken from their home. By morning of the 25th, Indianapolis faced its greatest flood crisis. It overshadowed the flood of 1904 and every section of the city, near Fall creek, White river and Big Eagle creek was endangered. It was estimated 2,500 families, chiefly in the West Washington street-West Indianapolis district, were homeless. Street cars were | /lalted on routes, the West Wash- j ington car barns were flooded and! Eagle creek was "a raging torrent; from one-half to a mile wide.” Thousands Walk Home Business became paralyzed before nightfall as the waters spread. Lines of communication were cut ofT and thousands of workmen w'ho had ridden *o work, walked to their homes that night. At Belmont street and Kentucky avenue 100 homes were flooded and the old Oakley Club, then a roadhouse on Kentucky avenue, was flooded to the second floor. Howard street and Bismark avenue, now Pershing avenue, felt the force of White river flood waters. On Wednesday, March 26, the estimates of homeless reached 15,000. Sights of men, women and children hanging to the roofs of houses in the cold and rain, calling for help were seen everywhere. The West Washington street-White river bridge collapsed and the heavily stricken area of the city was without communication. Shank Pleads for Aid Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank pleaded for aid from all citizens not affected. The river left its banks at Broad Ripple and through the south and west sections of the city. Fall Creek climbed its banks and water went north as far as Twcnty-scv-pnth and Illinois streets and south to Twenty-fourth street. Hospitals were jammed with residents suffering from exposure and injuries. State troops were on duty, watching every bridge and aiding the suffering. Rescue boats saved lives on West New York, Michigan and Tenth streets as the flood waters rolled over the low areas. Industrial companies with plants along the river and creeks found their properties inundated. Snow Storm Hits City And with all this tragedy a terrific snow storm and cold weather struck the city. The snow hampered relief work and there were of tales of narrow scapes and daring rescues. In the hospitals and relief stations. fathers and mothers pleaded for aid in finding children. "Where is my wife?” or "Where is my boy and girl?” were heard again and again. Many parents saw their children rescued first and then when aid came they were unable to locate the boys and girls. Every bridge in the city was under guard, and on the north side only the Capitol avenue structure remained open. Thousands walked to work and the Polar Ice and Fuel storage Arms and other companies loaned wagons for transportation. Money Pours In The motorists were in the height of popularity and many cashed in on the situation to sell rides. Mayor Shank closed every saloon on the west side. The next day came the plea for money. One hundred thousand dollars was needed. Food and clothing were wanted. And the city responded. Relief stations, including Tomlinson hall, were crowded with mat■Hresses, blankets and clothing and money poured into the relief committee. • That was the turning point. Gradually the water receded. Some Indianapolis districts practically were rebuilt. Families were reunited. .Another city had braved a crisis. Woman Is Killed by Train EL WOOD. Ind., March 24—Mrs. Ocie Jones. 33, was killed instantly late Thursday when she drove her automobile into the path of a Pennsylvania passenger train at a crossing here. Her companion. Mrs. Mary “‘Thomas, 44. was injured seriously.

1. No, although nearly everybody thinks so. You remember a person’s face better than his name, not from any better natural memory for faces than names, but because he always brings his face with him. There it is, spread out in full view with all its contours, bumps, wrinkles, expressions, color, etc. If he did the same thing with his name, you would remember it just as well. You remember his face merely because you learn more about it. 2. Not as a rule, because to most women love means more. Also, more women are introverted than men and think more about their personal troubles and worries. They find it harder to analyze the situation in an impersonal way and say: "There’s plenty more fish in the ocean,” and then seek new

friends and associations. This is the best way on earth to overcome disappointment in love or anything else. 3. My belief is it is due chiefly to superior natural endowments. First, because the father is nearly always a man of high character and in many cases of outstanding brain-power. Second, because a young minister, filling his first pastorate, is usually a very attractive, fine young man. Asa result, he just about has his pick of the young ladies of his congregation. Indeed, I think he often gets a wife who is a better all-round man than he is. In addition, the children have a most excellent environment. This is an ideal combination. An extraordinary number of great geniuses have been sons of ministers.

STATE BANKING BILL IS SENT TO ROOSEVELT Robinson-Steagall Act Is Passed; Warning Issued by La Follette. By L nited Prat WASHINGTON, March 24—The Robinson-Steagall bill, providing that state banks which are not members of the federal reserve system can acquire new currency and reorganize on the same basis as member banks, was passed by the senate Thursday night and started

on its way to the White House for signature. The house quickly agreed to the changes the senate made in the bill, which originated in and was passed by the house a few days ago. The bill represented a victory for Senator Huey Long (Dem., La.), who demanded during consideration of the emergency bill that state nonmember banks be given the same rights as federal reserve member banks. Leaders acquiesced to his arguments and brought in the measure passed today. The bill was approved by the senate with the warning of Senator Robert M. La Follette (Rep.. Wis.), that it would not bring any substantial relief to state banks. He deplored that these institutions were ‘‘cast adrift” in the most serious banking crisis in history.” La Follette predicted the ‘‘engine of deflation” represented by the

emergency banking act would cause a net loss of bank deposits conservatively estimated at between $800,OCX),000 and $900,000,000. Under the measure, state non-memt-er banks may get the new currency authorized by the emergency banking act under virtually the same conditions as federal reserve banks, though this may be issued only upon examination by the federal reserve ( bank of their district.
