 These figures were made up from reports received from towns and vil- lages and do not include the probably
 great loss in the country districts No hope of relief for the stricken
 state is held out by the government weather bureau. rain and colder is the forecast for tonight And tomorrow. Besides the danger from higher water, untold suffering to the homeless will come with the drop in temperature. Rescue work is being carried on by volunteers. police, firemen and state militia. In every place where there is a dry home it has been thrown open to flood refugees.
 The White River levee at Morris street went out tonight and water sub merged hundreds of homes. adding two thousand to seven thousand to the homeless list here
 Thousands of spectators were watch ing the river when with the road. hund reds of tons of dirt crumbled under the pressure of great walls of murl<y black water which rushed through the open ings. People living in the vicinity rushed from their honies carrying what property they could quickly tie up in sheets, tablecloths and bedding.
