DEATH BY ' DISEASE IS OHIO'S PERIL

(Continued from Pass are preserving order and conducting the rescue work. Fires Under Control. The fires which threatened the city also are under control and that danger has been warded oft". The first reHef train reached Middleton, O.. yesterday, to be halted because a bridge had been swept away. But willing farmers loaded their wagons and drove through mud and knee-deep water to Dayton, where the clothing and other supplies wer ehanded out to suflferers In the Improvised barracks of the National Cash Register Company and In other houses that had been turned Into refuges. Both' food and clothing are beginning to come In and hope Is beidnnirnr ne-Aln

to beckon to the victims of this great disaster. Red Cross Stars Work. It remains now to wait until the ' water recedes sufficiently to begin the real work of searching for the bodies and of removing the carcasses of animals that strew the flooded region to menace the survivors with disease if they are not collected and buried. Last night rescuers were making house-to-house search in boats of the flooded district to look for any survivors who may have been overlooked. They also are centering their efforts on t caring for survivors, many of whom are without food and clothing or means to buy any if It were purchasable.

Goldschmidt Det'.nning company gave $25 to the club fund and the United States Reduction company gave $25. This, company contributed $100 to the Chicago fund through Its Chicago office. The Oreen Engineering company expect at least $50 as the result of the circulation of the petition among the employes of the plant, but when asked this morning regarding the company's donation, Manager Dewey replied that he had yet to take the matter up with the. company. He was then busy with the employes' subscription, but expected to take up the matter with the company during the day. The Graver Tank works contributed through its Chicago office. In many plants In which Information was sought, the superintendents and managers, etc., who would know the situation, could not be gotten hold of by telephone, but It Is understood that in nearly all the response to the appeal for aid has been generous ami immediate.

donations will be sent for.

An effort was mr'.da to learn which

plants In the Twlr. Cities had respond

ed to the appeal for aid. and what was

the extent of their contributions, but in many cases the contributions had already gone through , other channels.

than the local ones, many of the mills,

etc. having previously made liberal

contributions to the various Chicago funds. In some cases however, even where such contributions had been

roaae eisewnere a second sum was

given, to help swell the local fund

.Many if the plants are circulating petitions among their men, but it will be impossible to determine the amounts

thus raised for a day or two.

Every factory, and bank In the two

towns has received a blank from the

Commercial club asking subscriptions

from the companies and their employes,

and headed by what subscriptions it was known at the time of getting them out, would be contributed. These, amounted ' to $250, of which $25 was , contributed by each of the six banks, $25 by the East Chicago company and' $50 by the water company. One of the lists was sent to the Indiana Harbor postoffice and by the time the office closed last night. $40 had been subscribed on this list alone. Of the mills.' the Inland which is tha largest plant in the Twin Cities so far as heard from, has made the largest contribution of any.- $250 having been subscribed in Chicago. The men here are subscribing liberally but no idea of the. total expected, could be gained. Superintendent English of the Republic is circulating the petition for subscriptions among his men, and has written headquarters at Toungstown for instructions as to what to do In behalf of the East Chicago plant of this coneern As the plant ther is down by reason of the flood, and the offices closed, he is uncertain as to when to expect a reply. The Interstate donated $100 to the cause through Its Chicago office, but gave $10 more when the Commercial club petition made its appearance. The

demonstrated conservatism and busi

ness ability are urging Mr. Eder to

get Into the game.

They say that he would have the

time to devote to the office, that he

would make an ideal commissioner because of his intimate knowledge of

conditions In all parts of Lake county

and that he ought to be appointed.

They point out that ttie Lake coun

ty commissioners authorize expend

itures of $500,000 annually and that it

is highly Important that a good, capa

ble man be appointed to the office.

The movement in the interest of the

appointment of George Eder took form

today and It rapidly gained In strength.

Eder Is generally liked, even by his

business competitors, and there has been no opposition developed except by those who are boosting other local can

didates.

The friends of George Eder say that

if a Hammond delegation of business men would go to Crown Point to urge the candidacy of a man like George Eder that there would be no question

of his selection.

They say that he would get the sup

port of substantial citizens In the oth

er cities of the three north townships and that the republican party be above criticism were this appointment to be

made. Mr. Eder has extensive property in

terests in Hammond, he is the head of a

large manufacturing institution and 1

president of one of the leading banks

of the city.

timony on the probable value of the insurance business from which the case

aevejopea. ADOut twenty years ago

Knotts, who owned a small insurance business in Hammond, sold out to Cox

for $400, and the latter gave his notes

for a balance of $300. Cox claimed

after the deal had been made that gen

eral agents of the insurance companies

in which Knotts held agencies swoop

ed down on Hammond and canceled a

large part of the business. The reason

why they canceled the business wa

ruled out of consideration at the trial ! as incompetent, but the reason stated

by the defendant's attorneys in the

argument was that Knotts was short

in his accounts with the companies.

For the reason that the business was

canceled by the insurance companies. Cox claimed that he had failed to re

ceived a consideration for the notes

that he gave Knotts. Thi trial was largely a matter of veracity between

two men. One swore to one thing and

the other testified directly to the opposite. During the time Knotts was on the stand counsel for the defense revived sensational incidents In which

Knotts was recently Involved as mayor. He admitted that he had been Indicted eight times by the grand Jury, but added that he had never been convicted. He was also asked about an alleged $5,000 bribe found in his desk at the time of the Dean franchise upheaval. Knotts answered that he never saw the money. The case was tried in the superior court here before Judge Gallagher as special Judge fourteen years ago, and a verdict was returned for the defend

ant, but a new trial was granted on some error, and the case has been con

tinued from term to term ever since,
