W. F. Bippus has been appointed

relief committee and it is proper to ad

V3W tomorrow. Need Medical Supplies.
Medical supplies were reported short by Major Dupuy, who is in charge of sanitary and medical work Drug stocks here were largely destroyed, and the medical chests of militia, as well as supplies sent by other cities, have in many instances been delayed by wash-outs and other mishaps of flood. However, a rtair load of supplies is expected soon from Washington. Tho activity of certain local under takers called forth the wrath oMajor Dupuy, who issued a statement In which he called them "ghouls." for their feverish activity in sending for bodies, and, it is alleged, sometimes burying them without making report to the authorities. Chairmen of committees were unanimous today in asking that word be spread broadcast that sightseeing visitors are not wanted. The railroads have ben informed, and conductors are refusing to accept passengers who cannot show that their presence here is necessary. There were thousands of visitors in the city, most of thera from surrounding towns. The majority of the bodies of flood
victims will be found buried under the debris In the Miami canal and far
down the Miami river at Miaruisburg, Middletown and Hamilton, in the opinion of men who have examined the ground. Few people were caught in their homes, as most all of them had received sufficient warning. .Those who were drowned for the most
part were caught in the streets either while on their way to their places of business and employment, or while
trying to get to places of safety when forced to flee from their houses. Saw Many Bodies.
Lieutenant Leatherman, surgeon of the Third regiment. O. N. G.. who went through the flood in West Dayton, said that he saw scores of bodies floating down the Miami river and many people swimming, but there was not one chance in ten thousand that tbe wer saved." he said. The
"Unto the Least of These" The spirit shown by the people of Richmond and the neighboring; towns in Wayne county by their prompt response to the urgent appeal for assistance from Dayton and Hamilton cannot be praised too much. "Give us food and clothing to save our homeless from death," came the pleas from the stricken cities and immediately a deluge of supplies began to pour into the Commercial club rooms, into
odge rooms into schools, and churches, and these supplies continue
o come in and will until the emergency is over. Men of affairs, confronted with grave business problems as a
result of the complete demoralization of railroad traffic, dropped all their work and gave their services willingly and enthusiastical
ly in assisting the organization of relief work, which is now being
carried on with machine-like precision. One prominent Richmond manufacturer worked day and night at a desk in the Commercial
club rooms until his friends finally compelled him to return home
and secure much needed rest.
Good housewives used their household expense money pur
chasing flour to make bread and biscuits, or to buy eggs to boil, and
if they skimped their own tables an explanation that the money was being used to purchase provisions for starving people they had
never seen, it was all that was necessary for these practical and un
selfish women.
And what an inspiring sight it was Tuesday night while a tor
rential rain fell to see men of every walk of life gather at the Commercial club rooms and volunteer their services in the hazardous
undertaking of getting relief into Dayton in the darkness, during
a wild storm and over a route where nearly all the bridges had been washed out and the mud was hub-deep. When told that there would be no chance to get over the swollen streams between Rich
mond and Dayton because of the washing away of bridges, greyhaired business men joined with adventure-loving young men in the suggestion that a bridge building squad be sent out and this plan was actually attempted, but without success.
Owners of automobiles in Richmond and vicinity have been
working day and night carrying supplies from Richmond to Day
ton and giving their services in the rescue work in the flood
ruined city, and the reward of all these self-sacrificing volunteers of Richmond is the cheer that comes from the lips of those home
less people on the debris-littered banks of the Little Miami when
the name of Richmond is seen or spoken.
But the good work must not stop now, for our destitute neigh
bors in Dayton and Hamilton have no means of supporting them
selves and will not have for a number of days ,so until their condition is improved we must continue the work.

MRS. EMERSON
American Women Who "Own" Titled Hubbies Go to Rescue of Imprisoned Suffragette.
LONDON, March 29. Mrs. H. R. Emerson, of Detroit, Mich., assisted by Miss Scott Troy, of San Francisco.
Is trying to enlist several American j women married to titled Englishmen to obtain the release of Miss Zelie Emerson from the Holoway Jail, where she Is 'mprlsoned for breaking windows. Miss Emerison, who started a "hunger strike," haa suffered much from forcible feeding. It is hoped by Miss Emerson that the support of the Duchess of Marlborough, who was Miss Consuelo Vaa-
derbilt, wUi be obtained. The duchess is a suffragist. The United States embassy cannot take any steps unless instructed by Washington because Miss Emerson is treated as are English women. The militant suffragettes think Home Secretary McKenna Is very susceptible to pleas on perfumed note paper marked with a coronet and they believe a few such letters might open the prison doors for the young American crusader. Miss Emerson is much distressed about her daughter's condition when it was suggested to Mrs. Emerson "Why do you not advise your daughter to eat the prison food?" she said: "She never would do that. It is a matter of principle." Miss Mae Shott-Troy, who has become prominent in the militant suffragette movement, is a sister of P. E. Troy, of San Francisco. During the
dock strike In 1912 she fed many of the strikers. Employers complained
that had she not fed the children the strike would have been broken before
it was.
A FAMINE OF FALSE TEETH
A dentist from Brookvllle arrived in Richmond today and purchased all the false teeth sets a number of local dentists had in stock. He said there was a false teeth famine in Brookvllle for nearly all the residents of that town who use artificial food masticators forgot these useful articles when the flood waters of the Whitewater forced them to abandon their homes In a hurry and flee for their lives. To enjoy the square meals now being shipped into Brookville Its toothless inhabitants must have new sets of false teeth and the dentists of Brookville have responded to the emergency nobly.
