AFTER NIGHT OF FEAR
TOWNS GIVE SIGH OF
RELIEF; NO LIVES LOST
After Doing More Than a Million Dol
lars Damage Flood Waters Reach
Crest and Begin to Recede Tues
day Morning. No Lives Are
Reported Lost.
(By Associated Press.) .
BALTIMORE, Md.—After causing exceedingly
heavy damage to property, the flood which swept j
the counties west and northwest of this city, reached;
its crest early Tuesday morning and began to recede,
as the towns which were endangered and had already
suffered damages again breathed a sigh of relief.
The flood was caused by a cloudburst and a series
of thunderstorms, which put the wire service out of
business.
Bridges, homes and other buildings were swept
away by the rush of the waters and rescue parties
were kept busy saving mothers and babies from be
ing carried on by the raging torrents.

RAN FRANCISCO.—President Harding passed
the “best night, comparatively, since he has been ill,”
General Sawyer, his personal physician, said in a
statement at eight o’clock Tuesday morning. T
General Sawyer stated that the President’s condi
tion seems to warrant the statement that he is now
apparently into “clear sailing.”
Harding’s personal physician confined his state
ments to these few brief words, but it was learned
from another source that the President spent a rest
ful night and took a little nourishment Tuesday
morning. He then read the newspapers for a few
minutes.
