HAMILTON IS NOW GETTING
ITS FEET Relief Work Progressing Rapidly Estimates of the Death Loss in Ohio Are Given Out Today. (National News Association) HAMILTON, O.. March 31. The chief of police of Hamilton this afternoon stated that one hundred bodies had been identified, but he could not estimate the total death list. Conditions in this city are improving and the relief work is progressing satisfactorily. Supplies are pouring into the city, but they are badly needed. FIND FORTY BODIES. DAYTON, O.. March .31. Forty bodies were located in the wreckage of the Leonard manufacturing company in Main street opposite the city building today. The structure caved in while many people were crossing the roof to adjacent buildings. This brings the total known dead up to 113. .The progress made during the night and today cleaning up Dayton was extraordinary. Twenty thousand men I were at work with shovels in the cenjtral district. Sidewalks and streets iwere cleared as if by magic. All perjsons who came to Dayton, unless they had missing relatives, were pressed into service by the militia and made to shovel for their lives. AMOUNTFORBRIDGES County Council Will be Requested to Appropriate $25,000. The meeting of the county commissioners this morning was taken up "with routine matters and the proposition of letting a bid for a road roller was considered. Eight companies submitted bids though none were accepted at this time. The bids will be thoroughly gone over and a selection from one of the bidding companies will be made. The bids ranged from $1,960 to $2,650. The estimate of the commissioners on the repair of bridges in this county was placed at approximately $25,000 and an appropriation was asked of the county council for the sum this afternoon. Supt. Brumfleld of the county infirmary reported to the commissioners that a least $2,000 damages was done at the county infirmary. Fences were washed away. A great deal of fertilizing will be necessary. IS STARTED TODAY Jury is Obtained in a Comparatively Short Time at New Castle. (Palladium Special) NEW CASTLE, Ind., March 31. .The trial of Clarence Parker was started in Henry circuit court today before Judge Edward Jackson. A jury was procured this afternoon. Very little trouble was encountered in obtaining the jury. Parker is being tried on an indictment returned by the January term of the grand jury, charging him with murder in the first degree. He killed Irvin White in the rear of the Y. M. C. A. on North A street, on the night of February 1. He confessed to the crime before Prosecutor Reller and Chief of Police I. A. Gormon. Parker was not given the privilege of pleading guilty to a charge of other than murder in the first or second degree. Parker is being defended by Attorneys Harlan and Hoelscher. Mr. Hoelseher said he believed the state would not be able to convice him on either first or second degree murder. The case was venued from Wayne county because it was feared by the defendant that he could not procure a fair trial in this county. The trial will not last more than three days it is believed. A Lot Chano. Tears ago a man named Saltamann owned an estate In Grlqualand, South Africa, and adjoining his property was an old. rundown farm that had not been worked on account of its poor soil and lack of necessary water. The owner of the farm met Herr Saltzmann one day and offered to trade the farm for an old waistcoat be had seen him wearing. As Saltsmann did not wish to burden himself with a piece of worthless land, be kindly refused the offer. A few years later big. clear diamonds were found on this waste stretch, and now thousands of ponnds could" not purchase it London Mall. Net Very Reassuring. He Tonr father called me a timber wolf.

Forty-four carloads of Italian laborers arrived here this morning from Chicago over the Pennsylvania railroad. The railroad company has hired all the available men who will work on the tracks and bridges and sent them to Richmond where the men have been divided and sent to the various divisions near here to rush the repair work. A large force of men placed wooden supports under the tracks where the steel bridge was washed out near New Paris and there is service over the railroad through to Dayton. Work will begin on the bridge at Dayton as soon as men and materials can be secured. MOTORCYCLE NOTES I . About twenty members of the Chester (Pa.) Motorcycle Club enjoyed a trip to Atlantic City on Easter Sunday. E. G. Baker of Indianapolis, claims to be the first person to cross the island of Cuba on a motorcycle. His two-wheeler was a source of neverending interest to the natives, many of whom had never seen one. Motorcyclists of Saskatoon, Canada, have formed a motorcycle club. M. W. Beique, a cement contractor of Colorado Springs, has used a motorcycle since 1910 in riding about to oversee the work on his various contracts. He says the average coat of operation is one-fifth of a cent per mile He has had practically no re- j pair cost, and is stilling using the same tires which were on the machine when he bought It. Customers of George Wagner, who owns a meat market at Joliet, HI., no longer complain of delayed orders. Wagner now delivers meat by motorcycle.

A 260-mile motorcycle endurance run will be held by the San Jose (Cal.) Motorcycle Club the first week in April. The course covers quite a bit of mountain road, which will be a good test of the climbing ability of the machines. The rapid increase in the use of motorcycles is shown by a St. Louie, Mo., dealer who has been handling the two-wheelers for nine years. The first year he sold three machines. Last year he sold 300, and in 1913 he expects to at least double that number. W. J. Walker won the Worcester endurance test by riding his motorcycle 423 miles in 24 hours with a perfect score.

DAYTON WATER WORKS SYSTEM
WAS RESTORED SUNDAY AFTERNOON
DAYTON, Ohio, March 31. The city water works, which had beeu out of commission since Tuesday, has again been established, relieving what has been one of the most serious phases of the situation here. About 100 bodies have been recovered. More than 1.000 militiamen, under command of Adjutant-General Wood, have the afflicted rones thoroughly patrolled, and little or no disorder is reported. Secretary Garrison There. The city is divided into four military zones, as follows: Zone 1 North Dayton; Co'onel Volrath. Zone 2 East South Dayton; Collonel Catrow. Zone 3 Central Dayton; Major Hubler. Zone 4 Lieut. Col. McQuigg. Secretary of War Garrison arrived here at noon from Cincinnati and held a conference with John H. Patterson, chairman of the committee of fifteen. Digging in the Mud. Searching for bodies In the mud was the chief work of rescuing parties today. The water had drained off from almost all of the flooded area, leaving thick layers of mud. In some places the mud had been piled up by the eddies several feet deep. It soon began to dry up in parts of the streets exposed to the sunshine, but for blocks the searchers for bodies waded through a sea of oozy mud. A .brilliant sunshine threw an un- ' canny light over the distorted scenes in the areas where the homes of 75,000 people were swept away or toppled over. A view down almost any street revealed among the debris tumbled-over houses, pianos, household utensils and dead horses brushed together in indescribable confusion. At two points the bodies of horses were seen still caught tn the tops of trees. Orders Through a Megaphone. Over on the north side of Dayton View, where a relief station was established under martial law In the Longfellow schoolhouse, thousands of homeless people gathered for supplies of food and clothing. Every able-bodied man was pressed into service. A man with a megaphone stood at the door calling out orders. At least 30 people were killed when the Leonard building collapsed Wednesday night, according to the statement of Detective Kincaid today. Kincaid was marooned by the flood in the city hall, just acrosB Main street from the Leonard building. Standing in the window of police headquarters, he was watching passersby In the street below prior to the coming of the torrent. He saw 20 people, he says, enter a saloon which occupied one-third of the ground space of the Leonard building. None escaped. Other people had entered other stories in the building, and some were on the upper floors. Kincaid felt sure there were at least 35 people in the structure, and possibly more. When the waters came a number of the persons caught in the building made their way to the roof. As the walls began to tremble, they let out terrible shrieks and calls for help. , Two men leaped into the flood, a disI tance of four floors, and were killed instantly. Others went down with the building. Kincaid said that the police were taking steps to examine the interior of the ruins. More than twenty persons were rescued from the market houses near the city building Thursday night by Edward Schaeffer. who sat astride of his horse and swam into the market carrying a rope. About twenty people were trapped in the markets and were standing on meat blocks. Schaeffer fastened the rope around one after another and the police officers and detectives in the building pulled the men to safety. Curfew Law in Force. Fear that some of the buildings that were flooded are in danger of collapsing was expressed today after an, inspection by officials, who ordered that the Steele high school, one of the finest school buildings in the state be roped off. The structure has been undermined by water and may fall at any time, it was declared. Everybody has been ordered off the streets at 6 p. m., beginning today. Church bells announce the curfew or der, and those who do not obeey will be arrested. After a meeting of seven-eighths of the undertakers of Dayton, last night, it was announced that a concensus of opinion was that eight hundred were dead. These men said that they based their estimates merely on general con ditions. As most of the hemmed in sufferers had been provided with food yesterday, no effort was made to work in the flooded area last night, but with the coming of dawn large rescue parties were out to succor the sufferers and recover the dead. The sewerage, gas and wire communication systems have been destroyed. Thousands of dead animals are lying about the streets. Two fertilizer firms began today to gather these animals. Sprinkling Wagon Water. Water is also being served from private plants of the Soldier's home and the National Cash Register company by sprinkling w agons. The relief committee sent out an urgent appeal to people not to dump refuse in the streets, but to dig cess-pools wherever possible. The sewerage system can not be used for weeks, and it will be necessary to do without gas for some time. Considering the number of persons affected by the flood, there has been comparatively little serious sickness. The cold weathej has caused great suffering among those marooned without food, water or heat but in the end it has proved a blessing. . Train loads of food from several relief trains came in bearing Tarfed assortments of needed materials. Mayor Phillips today called a meet Ing of council for the purpose of issu j
ing emergency bonds to provide: First, a salvage corps; second, to provide food and relieve the National Cash Register Company and other gratiutous sources of help from the tremendous expense to which they are being placed; third, to care for the peopje who are rendered helpless or without employment by the closing of factories and stores and also to provide for a more stringent police system in case the militia should be called to some other place before the disorder of this flood calamity has abated. Emergency Bonds. Mayor Phillips said that if the money is not forthcoming from council the emergency bouds will be issued just the same by authority of the emergency relief committee. -
