COLD HOLDS ON IN CITY (Coni inued From rage 1) mercury stood at 13 below zero, the lowest reading since January of 1017, when 19 belcw was registered. No snow fell Sunday, and the small amount left on the ground was blown about considerably. The entire Ohio valley region Is held in the cold wave, according to J. H. Armington, meteorologist. He pointed out two unusual temperatures, however. Zero weather was reported as far south as Asheville, N. C., while Michigan cities had readings of about 20 above. River Frozen White River is frozen over, and all smaller streams provide good Iceskating for boys out of school. The extremely cold, weather is said to have kept many skaters indoors, however. Evansville reported traffic on the Ohio River tied-up, with the channel three-quarters full of heavy Ice floos. AH steam boats there have been moved Into Green River or behind Government locks for protection. i The zero wave was responsible directly and indirectly for five deaths In the State.

St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Barr township, near Washington burned with a $25,000 loss. The Church of Brethren, at Pyrmont, near Lafayette, was destroyed with a $2,500 loss. Taboo on Arrests The cold snap but the taboo on arrests. While the thermometer was dropping, so were arrest figures at city prison. From 6 a. m. Sunday until 6 a. m. today seventeen men were Blated. This is an unusually low figure for a week-end, police say, the arrests usual totalling fifty or more. Saturday afternoon and night

In spite of the cold wave ice men continued at work today. Horses shivered in the chill breezes, while autes ran bundled in coats and blankets.

thirty arrests were made, four being women.

Motorists Indoors Motorists were held indoors by the cold wave and city police did not make a single arrest on a speeding charge. Accidents were at a minimum. Garage attendants were busy towing in and thawing out frozen automobiles. Garages, filling stations and drug stores reported heavy sales of denatured alcoholl for radiators. It was reported twenty-four cars were frozen n in a north side garagewhile all attendants were out on the road working on machines. Deputy Sheriffs Ragan and Brown, charged Dewey Hudson, J 6, colored, 624 N. West St., with speeding, driving with an open cut-out, and falling to stop at a preferential highway. While all trains from out-State points were arriving uniformly fete, transportation agencies within the State were keeping up with schedules. ?oal dealers were prepared for Just such an emergency as the cold wave and met the brisk gain in business handily. Local heat and power distribution companies, with plenty of emergency fuel supplies on hand, answered the demand with more st am. Trains from Chicago and the East are arriving two hours late, according to the Union Station information bureau. Those from St. Louis and other western points are running about an hour late, while trains from the South so far have come in and left on time. Although the cold has been severe, there has been little snow on the tracks of mid-west raidroads. With gravel roads frozen solid and no snow or slush on the State’s cement highways, motor busses are maintaining schedules, according to information bureaus at the Union and Traction Terminal Stations.

spell slackens in a few days, it was said. Good supplies of all kinds of mineral fuel are on hand, and more is coming in. Prices remain the same as for the last six weeks, several dealers declared, and there was no Indication of an immediate boost in prices. The cold wave, however, caught many families off guard and independent drivers were busy all day Sunday making deliveries of small batches of emergency fuel. Heat distributing companies received only a few complaints today, due in the main to insufficient radiation surface for severe weather or inability to warm rooms where the heat had been shut off Saturday evening. Although the consumption of fuel is considerably heavier during zero weather, the coal supply is sufficient for almost any emergency, managers said. Wholesale prices on all grades of potatoes were boosted 25 cents a 100 pounds by the cold wave, wholesale fruit and vegetable merchants said. Difficulty In shipping and an acute shortage are fundamental causes of the jump, however. Quill Rites Set for Tuesday Funeral services for Leonard M. Quill, 67, of 1208 S. Meridian St..

Coolidge Asked to Swear Off Smoking Local Head of No Tobacco League Writes President to Quit Cigars.

(~ri HARLES M. FimaoßE, MI I ecutive chairman of the NoTobacco League of America, with headquarters at 415 Occidental Bldg., today wrote President Coolidge, asking him to cut out smoking. "In press _ dispatches from Washington last Saturday we read that you. Mr. President, stick to your mild cigar, but smoke ‘only two or three a day,’ ’’ said the letter. "Since your indulgence is moderate, It surely would be an easy matter for you to quit altogether. We earnestly appeal to you to do so for the sake of the widespread influence for good that your example will have upon the boys of America.” The letter quoted a recent statement of Herbert Hoover that, "ciga rets are source of crime." "You occupy the highest place of influence in the Nation. To ensure a glorious future for our beloved land we ask you to use the pre-eminent influence of your exalted position against that which is so seriously affecting the health, efficiency, education and character of boys and girls, and help develop’ a national conscience for the public protection of our childrer from this r jinous habit and ‘source of crime,’ ” the letter also stated. “With the highest esteem for you -’ersoually; with an oarrest wish that your admlnisi ration may be one that will bring *he greatest blessings to our beloved nation; and with an ardent hope that eventually your name may he writfen on the scroll of fame among the noblest of our presidents, we are most sincerely, your fellow-patriots." Recently, Fillmore asked Vice President Dawes to throw away his "upside down pipe," when dispatches said the Vice President had advised Senate pages to abstain from profanity, liquor and tobacco.

How far disclosure of municipal "deals” and political Inside dope will be permitted to ramble at the big dinner of all city employes Tuesday night was being discussed today. 1 Mayor Shank will be interlocutor.

"Asjfar as I’m concerned they can tell what they want to,” said J. Carlton Guy. in charge of entertainment. “I believe Mayor Shank will have the time of his life kidding this information from some of the fellows." Promoters of the annual municipal dinner hope to establish an atmosphere similar to that prevailing at the Gridiron Club dinners of Washington newspapermen. Oratorical aspirants will find a stony path at the big show. Guy intends to equip the dinners with old-fashioned stage bladders to be used for swatting purposes when a speaker exceeds his time limit. Reports from all departments will be presented to Mayor Shank. "I want everbody from the fellow who pushes a pan in the street cleaning department to our highestsalaried officials to he present," was the word from Joseph L. Hogue, city controller.
