Flame that destroyed eight buildings in Dayton, submerged business section cast a red, weird glow over the flood-stricken city that added to the fears of thousands of refugees and marooned persons and led to appre hension that there way have been many of the water's prisoners in the burned buildings. Soon after ward notice was posted in head quarters of the emergency commit tee announcing thaat the city was under 'martial law" and several companies of soldiers arrivtd from neighboring Ohio cities. The sol diers were employed to patrol edges of the submerged district and pre vent further looting of homes freed from the flood's grasp. I'p to a lute hour tonight there had been no material disorder. Rescue squads worked frantically today to throw back the veil that hides the true story of the Dayton diaster the number of dead. Late tonight the arrival of nioter-boats pave hope that by tomorrow the northern section of the city now cut off by the big Miami's impassa ble barrier, may be penetrated and then may be leirned the fate J' hundreds of imprisoned by the tor rent that poured down from the broken reservoir. WEAK FROM Hl'XGEU. The list of six dead was added to this afternoon by the death of a refugee. It was reported late to night that a number of dead had been found in houses at Fifth and Eagle streets but when rescuers worked their way into the partially submerged dwellings they found a number of the flood s prisoner's who were weak from fright and hunger. Alrtady over-burdened victims of the water's wrath were compelled to suffer again today in a cold smart ing rain.

K pt Fitty- Ihatli PoMfs.it ii up in Oiiialm. Omaha. N h.. March "6. two funerals silently winding their way to cemeteries brought home with greater force to the p.'ople of Omaha today the full realisation of Sunday's tornado. All day, as fist at; hearses could deposit the I'od'.s at graves, a cj'itiuual doath prie.s sion was ki pt up. There was little ceremony. As quickly as one funeral was over an other began. In several instances where entire families were killed or where more than one member of a family awaited burial, one service was held. One of the most pitiful of the fun erals was that of Mrs. M:iry Kath key and two small childern. Surviv ing Mrs. Hathkey is the husband and father, who is nearly dement ed over the disaster and who has not been seen by friends since he learned of his wife's death. Mrs. Uathkey and children wore killed in in their home. Many casts of destitution were reported during the day. Relief work seemed to slow up. The task of caring for those needing food, clothing, supplies and money seemed lo be too large for the relief forces. Forty-five more persons applied for aid today than on any previous day. There remained, however, many cases of sensitive pride that prevented suffers from applying for assistance. All the hospitals said that many of the injured had been tiken to the home of relatives and friends. The injured still in the institutions were reported improving.

The principal function of the Govern ment cf the I'nited States today was to extend relief to the thous ands of homeless survivors in the Ohio and Indiana floods.

St- Louis, Chicago, rort Thomas, Kentucky and nearby Army posts and within 24 hours should reach the devastated district. Messages of sympathy exchanged by the President and the Governors oi Ohio and Indiana were followed quickly by a series of requests for heln which were promptly answered by the Government departments. The President was In his olfice all day in dose touch with the situation. He was in constant communication with Secretary Garlson of the War 1'euartmeiit. He apprised Chairman Martin of the Senate and Fitzgerald ot the House Appropriations Com mittee that the Government was go ing ahead with emergency expendi tures on the assumption thnt Con tress would back up the Administra tion later on. They botn wirea promises of hearty support and or ders went out on every side lor a gigantic work of relief.
