♦ Washington, D. C., April 5. ♦
♦ Ohio's loss in the recent flood was ♦
♦ estimated last night in a telegram ♦
*■ from the American Red Cross ♦
♦ agent in charge at Columbus, as ♦
♦ follows: ♦
♦ 460 lives lost. ♦
♦ 4,200 homes destroyed. ♦
♦ 40,500 persons homeless. ♦
♦ 9,000 families outside of Day- ♦

♦ need of rehabilitation. ♦
*• It had been extremely difficult ♦

♦ uncertain. ♦
♦ “Emergency relief situation in ♦

Washington, D. C., April s.—How the
American Red Cross has undertaken
the rehabilitation of home and busi
ness life in the flood stricken districts
of the middle w'est and how it met the
call for relief from the sufferers :s
probably the greatest it has ever
been called upon to deal with, is
shown by Miss Mabel Boardman, chair
man.
‘‘Rehabilitation of the individual suf
ferers,” declared Miss Boardman, “ s
what is necessary to restore normal
conditions.
“To continue merely to give out food
and clothes,” she said, “will mean the
continuation of the paralysis of the all
important business life of the commu
nity.
"While factories are closed for re
pairs, men can be given work for
which they will be paid, the clearing
away of immense amounts of debris,
such cleaning being necessary for
sanitary and other reasons. Thus a
purchasing power may be given them
again. They may l« aided in the re
pair of their houses and thus em
ployment provided for others.
“The re-establishment of his mar
ket will enable the merchant to re
employ his staff to a normal existence
Where men or women have been pav
ing for their homes by monthly install
ments they can be assisted in suen
payments for a time, so as to prevent
he loss of their homes, and possiblv
he failure of mutual building associa
tions, which would be disastrous to
many of the working people. All this
great work the Red Cross, with th-f
generous contributions of the, Ameri
can people, is undertaking.
‘‘This work of individual rehabilita
tion will lead to the rehabilitation of
the entire community and the setting
again in motion of the wheels of nor
mal life, and will be the greatest help
that can be possibly given tx> the un
fortunate victims of the flood. So
many of thousands have suffered, so
many cities, towns and villages in
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois
Have been affected that there will be
need of all the generous contributions.
With the courage of the American peo
ple, on tthe other hand, with the gen
erosity of our sympathetic public, the
Red Cross believes this can and will
be accomplished.”
Telling of the emergency work ot
the Rfd Cross, Miss Boardman said:
“So rapidly and almost completely
was Dayton cut off from connection
with Columbus that the first intima
tion that the governor of Ohio had
came from the Red Cross at Washing
ton. Immediately tthe first flood re
lief measures were set in motion by
the state, rescue fork and police pro-
HOW TO TREAT AILING
CHILDREN
Growing children play hard and
j work hard at school, which with ra
pid growth uses up an enormous
amount of energy and vitality that
must be replaced.
When a child is tired all the time,
no appetite, weak, delicate and sickly
we guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic, will build them
up, create a hearty appetite, sound
flesh and muscle tissue, pure, healthy
blood, and make them strong.
Mary Lang, of Altoona, Pa., writes.
“Ever since childhood I have been
weak and delicate and my blood has
been thin and poor. Many different
forms of treatment did me no good,
but last spring I took Vinol and now
1 am so much stronger and better
that I want you to know it. I don’t
know when 1 have felt so well and
vigorous as I have since taking Vi
nol.”
If Vinol fails to do just what we
say, we will give back your money.

tection, largely by the national guard.
"Sanitary matters under state ani
federal officials with the aid of the
army physicians next w r ere in order.
“About one hundred Red Cross train
ed nurses were immediately sent to
the flood country and are assisting
not only in caring fer the sick, but in
co-operating with the sanitary in
spectors in house to house visiting
“Major Chas. Lynch, U. S. A., of the
Red Cross first aid department, is giv
ing assistance in this sanitary work to
I Surgeon General Hall, of the national
j guard of Ohio. Where necessary, small
emergency hosiptals are established.
“Food, clothing, blankets and cots
with medical supplies were rushed
to the devastated districts by the
war and navy departments under ex
perienced and competent officers. La
ter without notice from the Red Cross
other supplies came from more re
mote localities. Kitchens were put
ii to action and later from relief sta
tions in schools or other suitable
places food and clothing were distrib
uted. These were constantly replen
ished from the carloads coming in
from all parts. Coal also was given
out. I saw one or two carloads dump
ed at the side of a street in the flooded
district of Columbus for any one’s use,
but as yet little or no inroad has been
made upon D.

BULL MOOSERS CHOOSE
MURDOCK AS SPEAKER
“Caucus” Is Open to All and
Oratory Abounds
Washington, D. C., April s.—ln its
first caucus, held this afternoon, tin
progressive, the third party organiza
tion in the house, nominated Repre
sentative Victor Murdock, of Kansas.
a.s candidate for speaker of the house
and perfected plans for an aggressive
legislative campaign. Fifteen mem
bers of the house attended the confer
ence and the affiliation of four mem
bers wha have not yet reached Wash
ington was announced.
The caucus, or conference, was held
in the majority conference room of
the house office building and a crowd
of interested spectators, many of them
women, attended.
A flood of oratory swept through the
entire proceedings and the new' con
gressmen were accorded abundant ap
plause as they denounced both dem
ocratic and republican parties, spoke
oi “bossism” and “standpatters” and
lauded progressive principles an]
Theodore Roosevelt.
An expected keynote message from
Colonel Roosevelt failed to material
ize.
The members who attended the con
ference were: Representatives Ruy
ley, Temple, Walters, Lewis, Huilings
and Kellery, of Pennsylvania; Bell and
Stephens, of California; Murdock, of
Kansas; Hinebaugh and Copley, of
Illinois; Bryan, of Washington; Lafer
ty, of Oregon; Chandler, of New York,
and Lindberkh, of Minnesota.
Those recorded, but not present
were: Falconer, of Washington;
Wodruff, of Michigan; Nolan, of Ca -
ifornia, and Thomson, of Illinois.
The caucus adopted a resolution de
daring its action was not binding up
on members atending, but that each
member was free to support measures
appearing in the house from anv
source.
After a lengthy discussion in the
course of which Mr. Murdock said the
progressives were entitled to repre
sentation on the important house com
mittees not only because of their
strength in the house, but also be
cause of the large progressive vote
cast for the party in the presidential
election, a committe was appointed 'o
consult with Majority Leader Under
wood about progressive committee as
signments. Mr. Murdock said he ex
pected thirty or forty committee plac
es for progressives.
A legislative committee composed
of Representatives Kelley, Chandler,
Copley, Bell and Linderbergh was ap
pointed to frame the legislative meas
ures which will form the progressive
program.
All of the progressive members will
meet next Tuesday with Dean Lewis !
of Pennsylvania university; Jane
Addams, Gifford Pinchot, Walter
Weyl and other members of the legis
lative committee of the national pro
gressive party to consider the legisla
tive program.
Representative Laferty, of Oregon,
atacked the present rules of the house
and offered a number of amendments
tc the rules for consideration of the
conference. A committee was appoint
ed to take up the matter. Stil another
committe was named tp consider the
complaint of Representative Bryan
that the new members were being dis
criminated against in the assignment
of office space. The conference went
on record iri favor of the creation of a
standing committee of the house to
consider the woman suffrage question
He who never asks a question nev
°r learns—some consider it beneath
their dignity ever to ask about any
thing.
