BUZZARD CRIPS ATLANTIC COAST

Hurricane Plays flaroc With New York Skipping.

AT LEAST FIVE LIVES LOST

In the Greater City Ferries Are Crippled and Elevated and Service Lines Put Out of Commission—Long Island Records Highest Tide In Years. Thirty Trains Stalled Between Washington and Baltimore Telegraph and Telephone Wires Down. New York, March 5. —As a result of a March blizzard the middle Atlantic seaboard from New York to Norfolk found itself buried in an avalanche of snow and swept by destructive winds. For the telephone and telegraph companies the storm was one of the worst in years. For eight hours Washington, the central point of America for the time being, was completely isolated. No telephone or railroad wires between New York and Washington or Baltimore were working. Report Five Frozen to Death. An unconfirmed rutnor from Annapolis states that fiveoyster dredgers while walking from a point on St. Pautuxet river to Annapolis were frozen to death in, the storm. ® In New York city the storm was one of- the most severe of the although the weather bureau asserted that the metropolis had received “only the edge of the disturbance.” A woman and two men were lost in the sinking of six Baltimore and Ohio coal barges at St. George, Staten Island. The gale descended upon New York harbor with the full fledged fury of an ocean going hurricane. Barges that were under tow were blown ashore, while tugs and small boats were sent scurrying for cover. Street car and elevated lines thoughout the city were badly crippled, but the ferries and the suburban roads had a still harder time in handling their morning crowds. Policeman and Girl Electrocuted. Long Island was snowbound all day. The storm piled up a tremendous surf along the coast. The highest tide In more than five years, which accompanied the storm’s early morning demonstration, flooded two railroad trestles, and halted the operation of one railroad line and two suburban trolley lines. In many cases the poles fell across tracks and made it impossible for trains to proceed with safety. Then, again, drifts of snow made traffic particularly difficult between Baltimore and Washington. Thirty trains were stalled between these points. Policeman Thomas Worthington and Miss Marguerite Schumpf were electrocuted by coming in contact with fallen live wires. The Weather. * Following la the official weather forecast: Illinois and Indiana—Cloudy todav; showers tomorrow. Lower Michigan—Fair today and tomorrow. Wisconsin and lowa Probable showers today and tomorrow. Sophia: Mother used Gold Medal Flour. Tnuu.

DEFENDS CHICAGO SCHOOLS

Superintendent Schneider Says Investigator’s Charges Are False. Chicago, March s.—“ Misstatements all!” was the reply of President Schneider of the Chicago school board, to Dr. J. W. Van Derslice of Oak Park, official school investigator for the American Medical association, who charged that many Chicago schools are unsanitary, dirty and dangerous to the health of the pupils, and that the school board itself is made up qf political appointees. Dr. Van Derslice declared that principals were instructed by the hoard of education to prevent him from learning the facts concerning the buildings over which they were in charge and he was allowed to inspect them only on the condition that he kept secret the names of the principals and the schools. “I was deliberately hampered and handicapped by the school authorities, who at every turn attempted to keep me from learning how horrible is the condition of some of the schools.”

SERVIA’S REPLY TO RUSSIA

Abandons All Claims, Leaving Matter To Be Settled by Powers. Paris, Match 5. —The Servian reply - to Russia abandons all claims, leaving the wffole matter to be decided by the power*. Servia only insists upon the retention of 13,000 reservists necessary for defense,-but it is likely that she will tonseot to disband these if Russia insists. There is reason to believe that Russia will approve the reply.
