BITTER COLD GRIPS EAST; VESSELS REPORTED IN PERIL

MERCURY WILL FALL FURTHER; FUURARE REAR Thousands of Dollars' Loss Along Coast; Two Ships in Distress. GALE WORST IN YEARS Liner Captains Say Voyages Were Most Difficut of Their Lives. liii United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—The severe cold spell that gripped the East over the week-end, coming after a windstorm had lashed the coast, continued today, with prospects of even lower temperatures and possibly more snow. Four deaths were attributed indirectly to the cold; shipping was imperiled, with more than twenty vessels seeking one lost coast guard cutter and one freighter reported in danger; and acute suffering was felt in the tenement districts. Coast guard cutter No. 107 has been reported officially missing since Saturday night, while the Norwegian freighter Arica last night radioed for assistance. The latter vessel was reported in danger owing to broken steering equipment. Damage Is Heavy The furious windstorm that I whipped the East Friday, causing! thousands of dollars damage, ap-j parently swept out to sea and great- 1 ly endangered all shipping. The French liner Rochambeauj and the United States liner George Washington came into port yesterday and their commanders said the trips across had been terrible. ‘‘lt was the worst storm in my thirty-three years of sailing an Atlantic liner,” Capt. L. Rollin of the French boat said. He said the storm lasted for six days. Capt. Harold Cunningham of the George Wash-) ington. who will take command of! the Leviathan, succeeding Capt. Herbert Hartley, concurred in this} statement. It was feared that the coast guard j cutter may have been caught in the | fag end of the storm and whipped | on the rocks. More than' twenty j coast guard vessels have been de-! tailed to look for the cutter, which! carries a crew of ten. Will Aid Freighter These relief vessels also probably will give aid to the Arica, reported about 170 miles off Cape May, bound from Norfolk to Bordeaux. In the metropolitan area, the suffering was acute. One man w r as found dead from the cold in New Jersey, another man slipped and fell to death, while two others "were killed when their motor car plunged through a guard rail into the Gowanus canal. They had been blinded by flying snow. All the relief organizations reported increased numbers of wayfarers seeking relief from the cold. Mr. Zero’s place accommodated more than 500 additional persons. Many of these were sent to work for the city to clean the streets of snow. Thousands Clear Streets More than 12,000 workers were used to clear the two and a half inch layer of snow that covered the city’s streets. While the cold and snow brought suffering to many, it brought joy to the youngsters, many of whom received sleds for Christmas and had no opportunity to use them until Sunday. The snow was drifted by a hard wind and there were many slides made. Central Park was filled Sunday with sledders, many of whom were grown persons. Skating also was popular.

Washington Is Snowbound WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Washington continued today to dig itself out from its second worst snowstorm in- twenty-five years. Near-zero temperatures hampered the hundreds of men employed at clearing away Saturday’s snow, which in some cases was piled several feet deep by icy winds over the weekend. Two deaths were traceable to the storm. Snow packed in by traffic brought out many horse-drawn sleighs, thousands of sleds and occasional skiis. Skidding automobiles struck two boys on sleds and injured five pedestrians. Count Nobile Pio Macchi di Cellere, attache at the Italian embassy, avoided arrest by claiming diplomatic Immunity after his car passed out of control on an ice-coated street and struck down Charles E. Hall, 26. Maj. Robert H. Taft, lecturer on Newfoundland, stalled his car in an eight-foot snowdrift near Perryville, Md., last night, found himself unable to proceed on horseback or afoot, and disappointed a lecture audience here, including Sir Esme Howard, British ambassador.

REMY SHOULD QUIT TONIGHT, ’ SHOUTS CAREY Lawyer’s Demand Follows Tirade on Prosecutor by County Councilman. Prosecutor William H. Remy should resign tonight in the opinion of Attorney Walter Carey, 708 Fidelity Bldg. This challenge w r as made by Carey before the county council today. It followed on the heels of scathing denunciation of Remy by County Councilman Paul Dunn. Dunn launched the tirade when he became irate on taking his seat for the council meeting. He found a slip of paper on the seat bearing the legend, “Coffin’s Pocket Edition.” It w r as placed there by some Jokester. He denied that he bossed by Republican County Chairman George V. Coffin and denounced Remy and the political investigations conducted here. Opening for the speech came when a bill for an additional S7BO for corruption probe expenditures was before the council for approval. Tired of Probe Bills “Remy ought to give us SI,OOO back out of his $7,500," Dunn declared. “All he does is sit around. I have talked to taxpayers and judges and they tell me that they are tired of seeing these constant bills *for political probe expenditures. It ought to be stopped. The county should not be made to pay for fostering Remy’s political ambitions, just because he wants to be attorney general or something. “I suppose Emsley Johnson wants to be a Congressman, now that John Holtzman has been taken care of. He shouldn’t depend on the county for funds.” Holtzman is now corporation council. He and Johnson were aids of Remy in probing political corruption. State’s Laughing Stock At this juncture Carey took the floor and talked so loud that a crowd gathered. He said $23,0C0 had been paid out for probing and the result thus far was two men found guilty of misdemeanors and paying small fines. “Why should the county pay huge sums for carrying on a factional political fight,” Carey continued. “The taxpayers are sick of it. Marion county has become the laughing stock of the State. I have nothing against Holtzman and Johnson, but if Remy and his army of deputies can’t handle the prosecutor’s office, let him resign tonight. There Is no statute that provides for payment of these special funds for assistants.”

MARMON DRAWS ATTENTION AT SHOW City-Built Car Repeating Success of New York Exposition. BY “SWEDE” SWANSON Tiroes Automobile Editor CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—When the twenty-eighth annual automobile show opened this morning and swung into a full week of activity, it was apparent that interest in the forty-odd makes of cars on display in the Colisium will be greater than in any previous year. In the midst of this record-break-ing attention are the displays of the cars which claim Indianapolis as their home and which are rapidly placing the Hoosier capital in a first row position in the automotive world. Marmon is repeating its signal success it achieved at the New York show early this month. Aside from its display in the Coliseum, which includes representative body types in both the new sixty-eight and the new seventy-eight lines of straight eights, the company has arranged a special salon showing in the new Chicago showroom, Twenty-Fifth St. and Michigan Ave. Copper plated chasses are a feature of both exhibits. Many City Men Attend Downtown hotels are filled with Indianapolis automobile men. Many Hoosier distributors and dealers are attending the Chicago show aside from the executives of the Marmon and Stutz factories. Both of the local organizations have established headquarters in the Blackstone Hotel, which is the center of show activities. One of the features of the Marmon exhibit is the interest which is being shown in the new straighteights by automobile dealers from all over the Middle West. v G. M. Williams, Marmon president, announces there will be a special breakfast in the Blackstone Hotel Wednesday morning for the benefit of the Marmon distributors and dealers in Chichago as well as those who are expressing interest in the Marmon franchise. Besides Williams, H. H. Brooks, general sales director, William T. Young Jr., assistant sales director, John Tainsh, sales manager, and several other Marmon officials will, be present. Battle of Values Marmon exhibits have become doubly important to Chicago show visitors, because they tell how the Indianapolis company is taking one of the most forward steps in the industry this year by announcing both low and medium-priced straight-eights—both of which will be produced in volume. After remaining dark over Sunday, the Coliseum opened in a blaze of glory this morning and the 300 or more cars on display w’ere ready for the close inspection of the thousands of critical motorists, who are w’ell aware of the fact that this year’s automobiles represent the greatest value the industry has ever known. Talk of further reductions In prices, has diminished to a considerable extent, and automobile men are speaking in terms of "a battle of value” rather than a price war.
