First Wireless Call Ont 01 Day ton Received Mere It remained for a;Richmond boy. Joseph Patrick, to pick up the first news coming out of the flood covered city of Dayton, when that city'B wire communication with the outside world was entirely cut off. Patrick for a few seconds talked with a Dayton wireless station and the Information he received he immediately flashed out through the aerial lines. Hla message wa picked up by Robert Heller and Horace Stout at their wireless natation in New Castle, and the Patrick dispatch was published in the New Castle Times, the first wireless press dispatch ever publishedrin New Castle and the first ever- sent out of ' Richmond. Here it is: Richmond, Ind., March 27, 8 p. m. (Via Wireless) News from Dayton tonight received by wireless, is that the fires aretetill-raging but are under control. The mayor of Dayton is sending in every direetionfor aid. The Pennsylvania - company tomorrow will rush . a supply-train to r a point near Dayton. The Starr Piano company in this city sustained; heavy loas from flood. The C. and O. was also badly crippled. We are working-with the wireless station onxthe Dayton "J. M. XX A. building. The most conservative estimate of the numben of dead reported by Dayton is (here communication was interrupted.)

wobks BOARD GIVES UP ITSSW1TCHRLAN No Arrangement Can be Made With Piano Company Officials. At the meeting of the board of works this morning. It was stated that no further effort will be made by the city to obtain an extension of the Starr Piano company's switch to the city light plant. After having been promised the extension, the members of the board asked a meeting with the Starr Piano officials to complete arrangements for the switch with the C. and O. railroad and whilerthis meeting has not been refused, f the Starr Piano officials have failed to answer any of the invitations of the board to meet on the matter. Mayor Zimmerman, B. A. Kennepohl, president of the board and City Engineer Charles, discussed the matter this morning and concluded that it would be unnecessary to attempt to complete the final arrangements for the switch with either the Starr Piano officials or the legal advisors of the C. and O. railroad. Removal of Trestle. Kemovai or Trestle. ( The board will take up art once, "the improvement of Johnson street leading to the light plant, and the removal of the C. and O. trestle which partially obstructs the roadway in Johnson street. The machinery and materials for the light plant will be shipped ever the Pennsylvania railroad and hauled in parts to the light plant. Although the board believes that this will be a great additional expense to thecity It is also thought that it is the only sati Isfacory way in which to settle the to the site of the light plant addition. Mechanical Tampers. At the solicitation of the Lourle Manufacturing company, it Is probable that the board of works will endorse or demand the use of mechanical tampers for tamping ditches which are dug in the streets to make repairs of sewers, gas or water pipes or telephone conduits. Although the matter was not settled this morning, a final decision will be made on the matter soon. The members of the- board- believe that the use of mechanical tampers will eliminate the sinking in of the streets at places where sewers have been laid or repairs have been made. Improvement Petition. A- petition signed by Nannie JackBon was presented to the board asking for the Improvement of Southwest First street from Richmond avenue to Laurel street. The petitioner asks for a cement curb and gutter on both sides of the street and a cement side walk 5 on the east side of the street. Thomas Study appeared at the meeting about the assessment roll for the tarvlating of the National road. The property owners are anxious to ascertain whether or not the railway company will be assessed for a share of expense of the improvement. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the board. SCHOOL ORGANIZES EMPLOYMENT BUREAU Garfield 'Students Have Plan to Keep in Touch With Merchants. Plans are being Inaugurated' in the Garfield school by Prof. N. CC Heironomus'for the organization 6f an employment bureau. . The purpose of this body will be to keep in closetooch with the business men of the city-.and community.

These plans are being formulated and exercised in order to help boys and girls of the schools) Officers of the organization have not been elected, as yet, but it is hoped that definite action will be taken soon.

A great many of the boys, according to Prof. Heironomus, have signified their Intention of seeking employment on

McDonald has no home,. he says, and lives "wherever his hat is off." He claims to be working for Charles Bell of this city. McDonald was charged with vag rancy and refused to plead to the charge, saying that he was Innocent. He appeared to be deranged- and laugh ed and mumbled during the entire hearing. When an explanation of vagrancy was made to. him he laughed and said, "Well, if you put it that way, I might . plead guilty." He was sent to the county Jail. Begged For-Drinks. After his funds were exhausted' tn local saloons last night, Charles Day pretended to be a cripple and begged money from men In saloons with whnta. to buy drinks.

Henry Davis, city-health -ofrflcer, declares that it is not neces sary to order an anti-typhoid vaocine in this city, although health boards in other cities have urged such action. Reasons given by health boards in other cities throughout Indiana and Ohio are that the waters of the flood are certain to be infected with typhoid germs and that an anti-typhoid vaccine is absolutely necessary. "There is no danger here," said Dr. Davis. TRACTION SERVICE BY NEXT SATURDAY Lines Are .Being Rapidly Repaired'East and West t)f v ' The City. The -traction lines win be operated east and west of this city by next Sunday, according to Alexander Gordon, superintendent of the Richmond division of the T. H. I. ft E. lines.

Their eyes fixed to the ground and their handB crossed over their backs the two men walked along High street. on each Bide seven cavalrymen with loaded rifles watching their every move,. Prank Sullivan, a Hamiltonian, i pressed into Bervice under the militia law, .drummed a monotonous tune. At "poer. house hill," the city limits, the soldiers halted. Without a word, the officer in charge pointed with his rifle eastward. The prisoners hurried silently away, the humane officer leaving behind him a sick wife and a 12-year-old son, Harold, both of whom testified against him. Accused By Son. In-the court-martial before "Col. Zimmerman, Harold Yerigan testified his father had commanded him to take a case of ham to his mother and ask her if she could use more. "Ma said to get all he could.

Zimmerman, pronounced sentence. "You are sentenced to sixty days in the work house," he said. "Sentence is suspended and you will be drummed out of town. If you come back during that time, sentence will be executed." Tears came to the eyes of many a sturdy militiamen as they witnessed the separation by Boldiers of Mrs. Terigan from her husband.

CAME FROM DAYTON Upon" Learning Character of Men, They Were Sent to Chicago. Richmond was flooded with alleged crooks and undesirable citizens of Dayton for several hours last night. The rowdy element arrived on the relief train which has been running daily for the past week between this city and Dayton. General Wood, of the Ohio State Guard realised that this class was taking advantage of conditions in Day ton to steal and commit depredations of all kinds. The men refused to work and shirked every duty entrusted to them. Most of them went to Dayton from Chicago, sent there by employ ment bureaus from the latter city. The men expected to receive compensation for their labor though .other men in Dayton are laboring in the streets without receiving pay. After they refused to work In Dayton they were loaded on one of the coaches of the train and with locked and guarded doors were shipped . to this city. Received Telegram. A telegram was sent to Richmond asking that seventy-five refugees be fed in this city. Arrangements were made for them by the relief committee here but the committee was not notified as to the character of their guests and it was believed for a time that many reputable citizens of Dayton were on the train enroute to this city. Arthur Smith was appointed chairman of a committee to receive the visitors and arrangements were made to feed them. Just before the train arrived in this city word was received from Dayton, following a query from Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, that the presence of the men was deemed undesirable in Dayton and they were being railroaded from Dayton under the suj pervision of two militia men stationed on the train with orders to shoot ! any one who tried to leave, ! -Mf of Pniir t a rrmnn diately assembled all patrolmen of the jclty and order. were giTen strangers were to be kept together and shipped out of Richmond.

They were then escorted to the Union depot where they were locked in a coach attached to the Chicago train leaving Richmond at 11:20 p. m. Members of the Commercial club asked the police to make every effort to keep the men together and see that all were sent out of the city. Chief Gormon. said there were sixty men in the coach when it arrived here and the same number left. They were the toughest set of men ever seen tn Richmond." said a member of the Commercial club.
