turn for support. He considered
the conditions, Incompatible with
his conception of the role of pre

Scores of families In the valley of
the Huron river between Flatrock
and Lake Erie were driven from
their homes early today when the
dam at the power plant of the
Ford Motor company at the Flat
rock buret and released millions of
callons of water Into the valley.
The break In the Ford company
dam followed the crumbling of
the earth embankments that flank
the new Detroit Edison conipany
dam at French Landing, several
miles above Flatrock yesterday
The Impounded water of the six-
mile artificial lake rushed through
the' break.
fiOOn Acres Tnnudateo1.
The dam is 32 feet high and
built partly of concrete and partly
of e.trth. Engineers estimated to
day that already 10,000,000 cubic
feet of earth have been washed
r.wp.y, while the river today is eat
ing into the remaining earthworks
and engineers believe more will
be swept out.
The new power station of the
Edleon company was to have been
opened May 1. The cost was 750,
000. More than 5000 acres are re
ported under water, which is re
ported to be 12 feet deep In some
places and steadily rising.
The valley s Inhabitants were
warned of the flood by troopers
from the South Itockwood station
of the Michigan state police who
started along the river to rouse
persons living nearby as soon as
guards at the t'am had telephoned
the station of the trouuie. o
rapidly did the water rise that the
officers were soon forced to take
to boats, going thus from house
to house with their warning, ler-
rvlng scores of families to safety
anl sending the men anead in com
mandeered boats to aid In the res
cue work.
No Lives lost.
No lives have been lost, so far
as could be learned, although
many houseB, ruilt below the level
of the dam. were inundated.
Reports from various places
along the seven miles from Flat
rock to Lake Erie indicate that
the entire valley at some places a
mile wide. Is under water.
Hundreds of small houses, many
of which are set on stilts, line the
river at Its banks, but state troop
ers believe no lives were lost be
cause of tbe warning.
Although the water was high

Small barns, boat houses, wood-

the organs in amounts such as
are found in the organs of people
dying from mercurial poisoning.
The amounts were similar to
those found In the organs of per
sons who Aave lived ten days al
ter the mercury was adminis
tered. 'We know from experience the
distribution of mercury In the
organs In the case of mercurial

Some of the possemen sighted
both men and began to shoot at
them when they refused to stop.
The shots caused Murray to give
up, but Jones nervily kept going.
