Word came from southern Indiana to the Governor's office yesterday that many lives and many homes were endangered," and apieals for assistance were -made. The situation was most acute in the vicinity of Vincennes, where, according to messages that reached the Governor, many families were forced to flee from their homes and seek high ground. Families living in the valley near Mt. Carmel, III., near which White river and the Wabash river meet, fled to a knoll away from the river, and Beveral hundred of them were on the high ground without shelter, it is said. That message came to William H. Vollmer, treasurer of state, whose home is in Vincennes. The message came from Mayor McDowell of Vincennes, who said the people who had been flooded were in need of 200 hundred tents for shelter. Mr. Vollmer immediately got in touch with Adjt. Gen. McCoy, who arranged to send the tents to Vincennes to be taken afterward to Mt. Carmel. Tents Started on Way. - The best that could be done with the meager railroad accommodations,

The tariff on wheat, barley, oat and other farm products has been cut about in half by the House committee.

Herman Ahaus residing at the southwest corner of South Seventh and II streets created considerable excitement in his neighborhood Saturday evening when he returned home in a drunken condition. Ahaus emptied several jelly glasses of whiskey, "three finger" glasses being turned aside. Members of his family finally persuaded him to go to bed and he went to his room. WThen he mounted the stairs he tied a sheet to the bed post of hia room and tried to get down to the ground. His foot caught on the window sill and he fell.

While the tariff bill practically is complete, important developments hang upon the decisions of President Wilson and upon the results of a full canvass of the Democrats of the Senate. It's Up to Wilson. To President Wilson will be left the final decision as to whether there
! shall be one general revision bill or
separate measures for each of the different schedules of the tariff law. A majority of the House tariff mak-
! era who have worked out the revis

were driven from their homes by the j flood were not in need of food or clothing, but that they had no place to sleep. They evidently had to make the most of being outdoors last night, for the message asking relief did not reach here until it was too late to get the tents there for last night's use. . Another message reached the govwas said, 100 families were made homeless by reason of the flood. The message came by way of Loogootee and was from Fabius Gwinn and Edgar Wilcher. They asked hhat supplies be sent Immediately. Taggart Promises Aid. , Governor Ralston got in communication over the long-distance telephone with Thomas Taggart at French Lick and J "in McCarty, mayor of Washington, Ind., and both promised to do all they could to reach Shoals with assistance. Mr. Taggart expected to send suplies overland as
near aB possible to Shoals, and if necessary to get boats from there to carry the provisions to the stricken town. The governor's office was also informed yesterday that two car loads of boats had been sent from Vincennes to Hazelton, Gibson county, where the high waters had endangered the lives of many citizens of that place, it was said. According to another message, a railroad bridge near Shoals went out with the high water and four railroad men were drowned. This report was not fully verified.. It was said the river in that vicinity was four feet higher than it was ever before known to be. At Mt. Carmel it was said that the stage of the Wabash was thirty-one feet. Returns From Peru. Elliott R. Hooten, chief of theState Bureau of Inspection, returned yesterday from Peru, where he went to make an investigation of the flood conditions. Mr. Hooten said the greatest danger to Peru now is the possibility of improper sanitary precauUons. "Eight persons are known to have lost their lives, Mr. Hooten said. In reaching the stricken city it was necessary for him to walk about four miles along the railroad tracks that had been washed away by the flood. Governor Ralston talked over the long distance telephone with W. H. 6 Brien, auditor of state, who went with the relief train to Lawrenceburg early yesterday morning. Mr. O'Brien said the river was rapidly rising and that there was likely to be a serious flood.

(National News Association) j CORNISH, N. H., March 31 President Woodrow Wilson has chosen the home of Winston Churchill, the novel-; ist, to be his summer capital, accord-: jng to a telegram received here today ' from Mr. Churchill, who is now in i i Santa Barbara, Cal. The message was directed to E. F. Roberts, manager of j the Churchill estate and contained instructions for getting the place in j readiness for the President's occupancy. Harlakenden House, as the Churchill property is known, is a two-story brick structure, situated on a hill i
three miles beyond Windsor, Vt. It commands a view of the Connecticut River valley and of the Green Mountains. Between 600 and 700 acres of rolling farm land and fragrant pine groves give the estate the seclusion the Presidents desires. Nearby is an artist colony, where Maxfield Parish, Kenyon Cox and others come during the summer, and where the late Augustus St. Gaudens, the sculptor, spent many vacations. On the estate are two seven-room cottages where executive offices can be established and where the President's attendants may live. A tennis court adjoins the Mansion House and at the foot of the hill the Connecticut River offers opportunity for boating. Manager Roberts said two men were
looking at the place a week ago, but he did not know whom they were acting for until he received the telegram today from Mr. Churchill.
