News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 PEOPLE FLEE TO THIRD STORIES IN CHICOPEE TOESCAPE SURGING TORRENT \CORK REPORTED HELD Two Dams Burst, and| Twenty Million Gallons of Water Sweeps Throughout District Railroad Tracks Washed Away and Autoists Are Saved Only by Racing Flood to High Ground. BUSINESS SECTION OF TOWN INUNDATED Chicopee, Mass,, July 17.—Twenty | million gallons of water flooded the Willimansett section of this place ear- ly today when Langwald’s dam and another dam at Robert Pond gave way. Residences and business places along Chicopée street the principal thoroughfare of the town were flood- ed above the first floors and occu-! pants were forced to flee to the sec- | ond and third floors for safety. No lives were lost. Autoists Race Waters. Property damage will run into the thousands, according to an estimate by the police. The Boston and Maine railroad tracks on the line between Springfield and White River Jct., and the far north were washed away. Many motorists returning home from beach resorts were caught in the flood waters. Quick action on the part of many drivers saved the occupants of their cars from being carried away with the rushing waters. The drivers turned their machines about and speeded to high ground. - The Langwald's dam is sald to be| about one mile wide. Torrent of wa- ters swept from this dam for half a mile to Robert Pond where the force of the flood carried away another di Tracks Washed Away. The Boston and Maine tracks were washed out in half a dozen places. Police, American Legion members and volunteers began a search of the flood area early this morning when the waters began to recede. No Loss of Life. Fairly definite assurance had been obtained at 9 o'clock this morning that no loss of lite had resulted from the bursting of the two dams on Willimansett Brook at 1:30 o'clock this morning. Willimansett is a large residential and manufacturing district lying along the easterly bank of the Connecticut between this city and Holyoke and constituting an outlying section of Chicopee. Properly loss will be heavy as a score or more of dwellings were swept from their foundations and many were carried a considerable distance, while others were tilted askew. Dozens of smaller buildings, many of them con- taining livestock, were swept away and demolished and the occupants drowndqd. Cause of Disaster. The dicaster was caused by the giving away of a cement dam at Lang- wald's Pond, which is an firregular tody between two and three miles from the center populated district of Willilmansett. The crest of the dam remained in place but the lower sec-| tion was pushed out bodily, and the | released body of water rushed down the valley for perhaps half a mile, en- tering Robcris Pond. Water Scven Feet Deep. The rush of water tore out the wooden dam at the lower end of this rond and a high wave swept on down the valley, spreading out into a resi- dential district and in places reaching a depth of seven feet. | Both ponds are bodies of consider- | able acreage and were formed for {ce cutting purposes by the building o( the dams, The dam at Landwald's | Fond was about 300 feet long whila the wooden structure at Roberts Pond | ‘was smaller. People Panic Stricken. Panic reigned among the residents of the locality affected as they were waters. Many rushed out in an effort | awakened by the roar of rushing to escape but were forced to give up the attempt and instead devoted their | attention to removing children, elderl persons and effects to upper storie out of reach of the water, Contrary to early reports, a summer camp of the Holyoke Y.

The camp is some 25 feet above the edge of the water and | the 25 girls occupying it slept through | until 8 o'clock this morning, awaken- ing to find their boats stranded on what had been the bank of the pond Half a dozen or more short streets 1ying in a locality south of the sweep of the waters recelved the greater| force of the flood and there the heaviest damage was done. The tracks of the Connecticut river division of the Boston and Maine rail- road run north and south through Willimansett, paralleling the course of the Connectieut river and the em- bankment which lies cast of the main part of the village served as a barrier | and to a large extent diverted the spreading water away from the larg- er part of the village.

According to officials of the unions, several thousand operatives are on strike there and Lowell has become a new center of the New England tex- tile strike. | Walkouts Began In. January. Beginning late in January in the Pawtucket valley of Rhode Island, | textile strikes have been in progress in Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Lawrence, Mass. Announcements of wage reductions of 20 per cent held by the mill owners to be made neces- sary by the competition of southern mills, preceded all the stries. 1In Rhode Island and New Hampshire an increase in working hours from 46 to 54 weekly was also a factor. More Than 50,000 Out. 5.000 operatives went out the strike quickly spread to the Blackstone val- |ley of Rhode Island, closing down or crippling more than 20 mills in the state.
