SNOW SWEEPS EAST TO ENO ‘HEAT WAVE' Winter Weather Forecast, as Heavy Rains Fall in Midwest. tiy United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—The snow and winter weather which has harassed the Rocky mountain region is sweeping eastward to end the late fall heat wave which sent temperatures to record heights in the midwest, weather observers reported today. Heavy rains drenched most of the midwest and sent temperatures slumping toward the freezing mark. A few hours before, the region had been basking in a heat wave which started flowers blooming and garden crops growing with vigor. For several days, the customary autumn blizzard has been raging in the western mountain regions, marooning travelers and delaying transportation. Weather observers said the cold was spreading east rapidly and predicted snow within twenty-four hours in the Dakotas, Minnesota, upper Michigan and Nebraska.

Storm warnings were posted on portions of the Great Lakes and shippers were advised to protect shipments against frost. The cold wave brought zero weather to western Canada. Calgary, Alberta, was coldest with 16 below zero, with Medicine Hat and Battleford reporting 14 below and several other cities slightly milder temperatures. The snow and rain was hailed by farmers, who said it gave the soil much needed moisture. In some portions of the winter wheat belt, the rain relieved a drought which, it had been feared, would cause severe crop losses. For city garden owners, the cold snap brought an end to bouquets of roses and snapdragons that had been picked in the 60 to 70 degree temperatures of the preceding few. days. City Escapes Cold Wave Indianapolis scored again today, j escaping the second predicted cold wave in less than two weeks. Instead of temperatures tonight leaching freezing or below r , as forecast, the weather bureau said 40 probably will be the mercury’s lowest mark in the next twenty-four hours. Low temperature today was 49, which put snap into the air, compared to the above 70 temperature which prevailed Tuesday afternoon. Utility lines and poles were snapped on the north side during a heavy rain and wind of near-gale velocity which struck early in the night. Fifteen poles were blown down on Forty-ninth street, near the i Monon railroad and sixty red danger j signals were placed by police in various parts of the city. Poles and lines were down at Twentyninth street and Paris avenue, Capitol avenue and Fall Creek! boulevard, the 400 block on West Thirty-ninth street, and Fortyninth and Sheldon streets.

No one was injured by the falling poles. Several sections of the north side were without lights during the storm. J. H. Armington, weather bureau rhief, said the wind reached a maximum velocity of thirty-two miles an hour and rain totaled 1.32 inches, one of the heaviest falls in the state. Reports northeast of Indianapolis said winds were violent during Tuesday night’s storm. Temperature drop was recorded from the Great Lakes to Mississippi and Texas, Armington said In some places, this ranged as high as 25 degrees. Unsettled weather, with cloudy skies and rain Thursday, is the forecast.

MILLION LOAN IS ROW CENTER Pinchot Irked by Mellon Poor Aid Refusal. ! tty United Pres* HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 18.— Controversy over a $1,000,000 "loan” : threatened today to widen a breach I between Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon and Governor Gifi ford Pinchot of Pennsylvania. Pinchot asked Mellon for $1,000,000 as a loan to the Pennsylvania presperity bond plan to provide moneys for direct relief of needy | families. The loan would be rej turned with interest when the state validated a bond issue for the purpose, Pinchot said. Mellon refused to lend the money. Pinchot said the refusal was not final. Then from Washington came the report that Mellon asserted he had definitely refused Pinchot’s invitation and had informed the Governor he would not make -the loan. "Mr. Mellon’s memory evidently has played him false,” Pinchot replied in the latent interchange. “On two separate times in our conversation, Mr. Mellon assured me he would give the matter further consideration.”

MOTHER TO BE ! CHARGED WITH POISON DEATH Illinois Woman Is Arrested After Secret Autopsy on Girl’s Body. By United Press DELAVAN, 111., Nov. 18.—Mrs. Alice Mason, 50, mother of Mildred Mason, 12, whose death 4>y arsenic j poison last summer was disclosed ; by a secret autopsy, was arrested today and will be charged with the poisoning, Tazew'ell county authorities announced. “If Mildred died of poison, my son-in-law, Harold Reese is responsible, "Mrs. Mason told Deputy Sheriff Ernest Fleming. ‘He made me divide SI,OOO insurance I got from her death and she took sick at his home.” Fleming said he would arrest Reese for questioning immediately. Clinton Armstrong, said by neighbors to be an admirer of Mrs. Mason, also was ordered apprehended for questioning. Another to Be Exhumed Mrs. Mason also said her son-in-law forced her to divide a similar | insurance award made on the death of her husband a year ago, Fleming said. An autopsy of his body was to be 1 made to determine if arsenic also figured in his death. Medical examination of a son Henry. 16, taken ill mysteriously recently, was j planned. Further questioning of Mrs. Mason was to take place later today, i Meanwhile, murder charges were being prepared. The woman was arrested in a surprise raid on her home early today, afer a medical report on her daughter’s body had disclosed large quantities of arsenic in the vital organs.

Neighbors Hint Foul Play Investigation of the death and exhumation of the daughter’s body came when neighbors of the family told Coroner A. E. Allen of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the girl’s illness last August. Disclosure of the latest poison death follows closely the unsuccessful efforts of authorities ci Senaca, 111., and Lebanon, Ind., to solves similar cases in those cities. At Senaca a young girl died of arsenic poisoning and at Lebanon two children died as the result of a “poison picnic,” where they ate sandwiches containing strychnine.

'STOP DIVORCE,' CHIEF'S ORDER TO POLICEMEN Cops in Eastern Town Will Act as Referees in Domestic Feuds. BY HENRY MINOTT L'nited Press Staff Correspondent PEABODY, Mass., Nov. 18— Peabody’s policemen are pledged to keep this city’s married couples together “till death do them part.” Every patrolman has been transformed into a sort of domestic relations court by an order which Chief Edward F. Pierce calculates eventually will unburden the divorce dockets. Not only are the chief’s thirtyone officers expected to effect a truce in marital squabbles which have reached the rolling pin stage, but also to sense incipient controversies and repress them. Here are Chief Pierce’s orders of the day: “Prevent divorce cases. Let’s keep our good old Peabody families together. It has been brought to my atention that certain members of this department willingly eject and sometimes arrest husbands or wives at the request of one or the other, following petty family quarrels. "I have watched the results of these cases and found that pride stops these couples from reuniting and they eventually land in divorce court. “This means that some of the finest marriages in this city have been wrecked by a minute's excitement. “In the future I want all my

officers to act as peacemakers when they are called in by some excited j wife with orders to ‘fire him out’ j or ‘arrest him.’ "Study the case. Talk to both parties. Make them forgive and forget. It’s the old story. A police officer 4s employed to make peace, not arrests.” The author of this comment is a square-shouldered six-footer of 48, with ruddy face and iron gray hair— j a former professoinal baseball player whose favorite recreations are | hunting and fishing. He has been married happily for twenty-six years. He has four grown-up children. He feels there are too many divorces. He fefcls, too, many divorces work hardships on children. "I was thinking the other day,” he mused, “how many men and women I went to school with were getting divorced. It seems so unnecessary I though I’d see if the police department couldn’t do something to keep our families together.” The tooth of a prehistoric monster. weighing four pounds, was recently unearthed near Evansville, beneath the bed of the Ohio river. If was buried under eighty-five feet of earth.
