pletely Isolated
CAME WITHOUT WARNING*
White River Junction. Vermont.
Nov. 4. ? Unconfirmed reports of heavy
loss of lite in Montpeller. the state
capital, where the collapse of a large
re-servoir was said to have flooded
the city deeply, were in circulation
here tonight. According to these
reports the death list ran from 137
to 212. Montpeller is about 58 miles
from this point and is completely
isolated.
Telephone and telegraph service
from the state capital lulled early
last evening' and since that tim." m
definite news has been received. 'I wo
telephone girls who left Montpeller
at 8 oclock last night and arrived
here today said water was running,
10 feet deep in State street, the main
street of. tli" city, at that hour.
A steadily mounting death toll and
property damage of millions of dol
lars is indicated In reports, from
flood-ravaged towns of New England.
Unconfirmed reports were that
from 137 to 212 persons lost their
lives in Montpelier. Vermont, with
the collapse of a large reservoir.

ed from widely spearted towns in
Vermont. Connecticut and Massa
chusetts. in the grip of floods for two
, da** dm jo. daqM in riws >ur*Un*
as a result "of excessive rains. *"
The affected area comprises large
ly the New Engalnd mill district,
which due to lack or power, was idle
today. Residents of many sectiops
spent tli? night in darkness, and!
thousands of families, forced from
their flooded homes, took to higher
ground. _
Flood conditions extended into part'
of New York state, up Into Maine,
where a 68-mile gale whipped the
sea into a fury and sank at leas',
one ship, and Into Canada where
crops were destroyed and railroad
lines washed out.
Boston. Nov. 4. ? Flood waters to- |
night still gripped New England.
Rain had ceased in most sec'/.ons
but streams which had taken a toll
of at least dozen lives and probably
more continued to rise. Railroad |
service was parlyzed in Vermont. Nejv ?
Hampshire and western Massachu
setts. Scores of bridges had been
swept away, with several dams. High
ways were many feet deep in water
over extensive areas.
