2 CAR LOADS OF FOOD MAY BE SENT PERU

Governor Ralston Also Orders That 100 Coffins Be Sent That City As Quickly As Possible. RIVERS IN STATE SLOWLY RECEDING Some Factories in Indianapolis Are Inundated Bridge Over White River in Indianapolis, Fell This Morning. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, March 26. With the ceasing of rainfall in the upper Indiana valleys last night the flood situation was somewhat improved throughout the state. Many cities are still flooded but the waters generally are not rising. Some of the towns on the Wabash below the larger tributaries are still in danger but others report the crest of the flood has passed. White river Is falling rapidly at Anderson and Muncie and the Mississinewa at Marion is going down. Wild cat creek. Blue river and other streams which have been on a rampage are also receding. It is believed the greatest damage has already been done. The gradual withdrawal of the water is revealing the extent of the loss it has caused. A conservative estimate cannot be placed in figures smaller than millions. Bridges were washed out by the dozens and railroad tracks washed out In many places. Homes were damaged beyond estimate. The loss will be particularly heavy in Muncie, Rushville, Kokomo, Peru and Lafayette. Provisions For Peru. One hundred coffins and two car loads of provisions were ordered rushed to Peru by Governor Ralston today after the governor had received advices from that city in a roundabout way that great loss of life had occurred from the flood waters there. Some estimates placed the death list at 200. The situation at Logansport is improved, but it is said several persons were drowned there. Three thousand persons were driven from their homes in Ft. Wayne, where three thickly populated suburbs were inundated. Bridae Collaosed. TheWashington street bridge over White river has collapsed. An immense sheet of water which seemed to stretch ior miles into Indianapolis was all that told of the Buffering of the people west of the river. The entire part of the city lying betwen Washington street, the river, the belt railroad tracks and that territory which is called the "Hill," lying about one mile west of the river Is now under from 8 to 10 feet of water. In many places the water has reached the second floors of some houses and the people who were forced to flee to the upper stories of their homes were waiting with anxious eyes for another rise, but early in the morning the water began to recede slightly. From 3,000 to 5,000 homes have been damaged considerably and In cases where families have not moved their furniture to the second floors of their homes little will be saved. Factories Inundated. Factories west of the river were inundated early in the evening when the waters swept over the levees and J through the streets. ! The loss of life in Indianapolis will not be large unless from the after effects from the flood. V MET TUESDAY.

Industry Now Appeals to Science ' For Substitute for Earth Js Coal

As the earth's coal supply diminishes, industry, confronted with the certainty of its ultimate exhaustion, appeals to science for a substitute. Force is given to this appeal by the persistent rise of fuel prices. Economic wisdom is shown in the recent utilization of fuel residues which were formerly ignreod. That the steam coal deposits of England will be exhausted wihin another generation is the opinion of geologists. In portions of the United Kingdom, peat, both in its natural form and chemically prepared, is used as a fuel. In the natural form it is employed for domestic service, but its calorific property being relatively small as compared with its bulk, for industrial use it is valueless. In Ireland, where a considerable por tion of the land surface consists of peat bog, peat is converted into coal by an electrical process. A hard, smokeless steam coal, equal to the best product of the Welsh mines is produced. At an English plant located in Kent, the conversion of peat into coal is effected by two simple features of operation. By the lightning revolution of rotary cylinders into which it is pressed, the peat is thoroughly divorced from moisture. The charring process is then accomplished by the insertion of electrodes, a powerful current carbonizing the mass. By this process of carbonization, the Kentish manufacturers are enabled to furnish a coal equal to the best of that mined in Wales at three-fifths the price of the latter. In France is manufactured a smokeless, dustless fuel. It is a chemically treated composite of coal dust and oil. While several hundred patents on artificial fuel have been issued in this country, they have, with one or two exceptions, failed to realize a commercial value. A fuel compound of paper pulp refuse and crude oil is an American inventon. It has a mortar-like consistency, is of quick ignition and high calorific value. The residue is small. A New York expert has demonstrated that live mud such as is found in Perm Mas long List W Killed PERU, Ind., March 26. Sixty persons are believed to have been drown ed and hundreds more are marooned in dangerous positions on the roofs of buildings, according to an inspection made by boats through this flooded streets of Peru at 4:30 o'clock this morning. 0 Water from the overflown Wabash river is ruching through the streets at depths of from five to twenty feet. Many bodies of women and children have been carried out into the fields. Several interurban relief trains have arrived from South Bend, Culver and other towns, but these have been unable to get within reach of the scores on the roofs and upper floors of buildings, where they are suffering from cold, exposure and hunger. The city is in darkness and the water supply is made useless. Operator Tells Story. Arthur Moore, a telephone operator, who is isolated in the top floor of a building in the downtown district, ani! who worked all night by candle light, was reached over the telephone from another part of the city. '"Sixty persons drowned is the nearest to a correct estimate of the fatalities," said Moore. "I have been looking from the windows all afternoon and from the number of -bodies I have seen floating down the street I think the number of drowned will not exceed that number. "Only four blocks in the city are above water. In the other sections the survivors have climbed to the roofs and many are passing the night there. Suffering From Cold. "Their suffering from the cold is intense, and unless boats soon are able to carry them to safety other deaths will follow. Before dark I saw more than one of these survivors drop from exhaustion and slip into the water. "Several of the special interurban trains which brought relief from near-

our swamps can be utilized as fuel. The formation of a coal structure is effected bjr machinery especially designed for the work. The processes employed are those of maceration, cutting, mixing, kneading, pressing and exsiccation. The finished product is a frangible substance of the color and density of bituminous coal. As the alchemists of old dreamed of a universal solvent, so the chemists of our time, in groping for an artificial coal, have sought a quantitively preponderant base that, in combustion, would not too readily sacrifice its chemical co-agents. This much coveted base has been discovered by an Indiana man. He has invented a coal, the calorific value of which is more than double that of the best mined product. The base is simply common dirt, of which 1800 pounds to the ton are employed. The coal is manufactured either soft or hard, to meet the consumer's demand, the soft burning the more readily. The color is that of the natural coal, but dull, having no gloss whatever. It is smokeless, generates no gas, and can be produced at less cost than the mere primary expense of carrying the natural product to the mouth of the mine. Its consumption is attended by slight waste, a fine white substance being the only residue. Its density and durability are determined by the amount of heat and pressure applied. By a restricted application of these processes, a soft substance resembling gunpowder is produced. This is designed for quick fire. Upon the other hand, a prolonged application of intense heat, supplemented by powerful pressure, establishing a density of substance comparable to that of Iron. This finished produce is of exalted calorific value, the quality of persistence being higher than that of any other fuel, either natural or artificial. At last we have an artificial coal, the least expensive of all fuels, and superior to the natural product in that it is almost entirely available, is smokeless, gasless, of greater calorific value, and more enduring. Nature is outdone.

by towns have arrived to points two and three miles out of town, but owing to the darkness and the lack of boats the relief has not reached the sufferers. By daylight it is hoped the work of rescue will begin. "That many more people were not drowned was due to the fact that resi dents had several days' warning. The ; water rose rapidly for several days, ' and people moved to the upper stories j of their homes. The sudden rise Tues-; day was, however, more than was ex- j pected." j Peru has about 16,000 population. Re-. lief trains which came here this morn-: ing also learned on the way of the dire ' need of help at Logansport, where all 1 sections of the city are inundated. No deaths are reported at Logansport. Coeur De Lion Lodge meets every Tuesday. Next Tuesday Rank of j Knight. Visitors welcome. j

CLEVELAND, O., March 26. Three railroad men were trowned when a Wheeling & Lake Erie freight train went through a weakened bridge near Brighton, in Lorain county. The bodies of the men have not been recovered. The dead are Engineer George Dyke of Toledo and Daniel Sbanklin, fireman! and August Burrier, a brakeman of Massillon. The engine and rear sleeping car of westbound Pennsylvania train No 2, plunged into Mad River at the edge of West Liberty today, but the sleeping car fell at the side of the stream and the passengers crawled through the windows and waded to shore. The other six coaches of the train remained on the rails. The train wa3 being detoured over the Big Four railroad from Urbana to Hellefontaine because of washouts on the Pennsylvania lines, and was proceeding cautiously. Conductor Philip Ham of Springfield, Was swept off the front of the engine into the river, but landed on a bridge downstream. Engineer James WooJ and Fireman C. E.

WILL RING BELLS FOR VOLUNTEERS City Council Will Send Help to Dayton When Trains Can Get Through. As soon as communications can be established with Dayton or with any place near Dayton, the fire bells in this city will be rung for ten minutes to call together volunteers to go to the aid of the flood sufferers in Day

ton. Mayor Zimmerman ordered Fire Chief Miller and Chief of Police Gormon to keep in touch with him during the day and night and to be ready to spread a volunteer call. Mayor Zimmerman spent the entire night last night in an endeavor to get information from Dayton but was unsuccessful. At two special meetings of the city council, the plan of sending relief to the flood sufferers at Dayton was discussed but the mayor and council found no way of reaching the city within 48 hours, when it is expected that the Pennsylvania railroad will relay trains to a point near enough for the volunteers to get into Dayton.
