BIG SHOW STORM

CAUSING

DAMAGE

FOUR MEN KILLED Throughout Southwestern Colorado Wires Are Down and ' Railroad Traffic at a Mere Standstill. A COLD WAVE SWOOPS DOWN ON EAST AGAIN Before Nine O'clock this Morning Two People Had Died in New York From Effects of r The Cold. (American News Service) Durango, Colo., Jan. 4. A severe show storm Is raging in southwestern Colorado. Wires are down and railroad traffic Is at a standstill in many sections. A private telephone wire from the San Juan Power company reports four men killed in a snow slide at Shenandoah. Cold in New York. New York. Jan. 4. A told wave swooped down on the east from the extreme northwest shortly after midnight. All along the Atlantic seaboard in the north, the mercury dropped fast, in New York falling from U2 degrees at midnight, to twelve at ! a. m. Then it was still going down. Two deaths had been reported at that time. The weather bureau officials here today said that they did not believe the cold snap would affect the South as did the last one. Suffering in New York was intense. Seventeen women and 326 men and a child, all homeless, took refuge in the municipal lodging house, where one niau died on his arrival and another coll.'ipse'l in a critical condition. Every other charitable dormitory in the city was i : ronged and early today relief work was taken u;) in all parts of the city. The situation was made worse by sharp winds blowing with the force of a' gale. Yesterday's rain turned most of the snow left over from the recent blizzard into slush and then the cold and wind came along in time to turn the water into ice. Miles of city streets today bore thin sheets of ice. ! There is no sign of immediate relief. ALL ALONG THE COAST. 'Boston, Jan. 4. The cold wave, extending north along the Atlantic coast from the Delaware Capes apparently centered on Boston today. With a sharp wind blowing, the thermometer dropped eighteen degrees in six hours this morning, going to four degrees above zero. This was almost as cold as the weather at the time of the Christmas blizzard and its aftermath. Suffering was intense and hundreds oT homeless were driven to charity. HIS FIGHT COSILY John R. Walsh Spends Nearly Entire Fortune to Keep Out of Prison. IS STILL FAR FROM POOR (American News Service) Chicago, Jan. 4. When John R. Walsh's fight to keep out of the penitentiary closes next week he will have concluded a battle legal and financial which cost him more than $10,000,000. His fortune of more than $25,000,000 has dwindled to slightly less than $600,000 as far as he is concerned, but the first named figure is the amount it has cost him to carry on his losing battle and in the de preciation of his holdings through the criminal prosecution that the government has waged against him since the closing of his banks in 1905. A SAD BREWMASTER Lost His Position Because of The Georgia Prohibition Law. TURNS SHOTGUN ON SELF (American News Service) Montgomery, Ala., - Jan. 4. Despondent Treatise the prohibition laws had deprived him of a position, Frank Pabst, head brewer and expert of the Capital City Brewing Company, placed the barrel of a shotgun to his breast and pulled the trigger with his big toe and he4 died instantly. He had given his life to the study of brewing. Brevity. Be brief, for it Is with words as with sunbeams the more they are conIdenaed the deeper they burn. -Om "E&OUO QVIfCNX.' thatSs

Leon Delagrange, the noted aviator, was killed today by a fall of his aeroplane while making a flight here. He was speeding probably sixty miles an hour when the accident occurred. He was using a "Wright' machine which swerved slightly and then crashed to the ground. Delagrange has been making flights for two years. He was one of the most daring and had full knowledge of dangers encountered. Last September he narrowly escaped death when his aeroplane turned a complete somersault before he could recover control of it. IS THE CHARGE MADE Suit Filed in Illinois Reflects on Relatives of C.

Cali'or nia. son of the former vice president: Luther Faidrbanks. a brother of the former vice president, ami LorisUm Fairbanks, nephew of the same, are defendants in sensational suit filed in the Piatt county co.irt, alleging misappropriation of a hundred thousand dollars of the funds of the Old Mexico Land and Industrial company. The complainants are stockholders. The latter allege unlawful investments and inability to get a statement from the officers of the company. COLLEGE IS EILLED The winter term registration has about been completed at Earlham college, and so far there has been an increase in the enrollment. The exact number can not be learner but President Robert E. Kelly stated this morning that there were more students in the two dormitories than there were during the last term. This is very unusual, since the greater number of students generally attend the fall term. LAST OFFICIAL ACT The last official act of Ximrod Johnson, former city treasurer, was to turn over to County Treasurer Albert Albertson, $3d,4G1.72, the amount of funds which the city had on hand January 1. The county treasurer, is compelled by law. to collect the city taxes and in addition all improvement assessments. In fact, everything which was formerly done by the city treasurer has now passed over to the county treasurer. The office of city treasurer has been abolished because the receipts of the light plant are cot f 100,000 per annum. Hot Finish. The wise and industrious father was chiding bis son for procrastinating. "You are always late," scolded the senior. "Why don't yon be like the early bird? You know, these days the first come are the first served." "That may be. pop," laughed the frivolous youngster "but I don't want to be like the early bird. He is generally served up on toast."

The srand jurors for the present term of court may be called in session later, although Judge Fox announced this rrornmg that as yet there was no neou for a meeting of this jury, so far as iie knew. In the court this morning issues were made up in a number of cases, in order that they may come up for trial in the present term of court. A List of Cases. The case of Clarence Nelson versus Edna Nelson for divorce was dismissed for want of prosecution.

A demurrer to the complaint of Thomas Daggett, who is seeking $20,OOO for personal injuries, from the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company, has been filed. A CHANGE IN HOURS In the Future, Police Court Will Be Held at 8:00 In the Morning. NIGHT OFFICERS ARE SAD It was a sad looking bunch of night "cops" who heard the announcement made to them last evening at roll call, to the effect that hereafter police court would be held at S o'clock in the morn ing instead of 1 :30 o'clock in the afternoon, as had been the custom under the old administration. The new change becomes effective at once. It was made in order that police court would not interfere with Mayor Zimmerman's office hours. The new hour is not welcomed with an;-' degree of marked enthusiasm by the niht police force. The blue coats on duty al night who make arrests during the "wee small hours" will be compelled to appear in court as witnesses at 8 o'clock in the morning when heretofore they have been fast in the realms of dreamland at that hour. For various other reasons, however, :t is thought the morning session of eoiut will be much more satisfactory. HE SEEKS FREEDOM Marital Bonds of Albert Roscoe Roberts Are Quite Galling to Him. MAKES A SERIOUS CHARGE Mrs. Blanche Roberts of Centerville, who, it is alleged, tried to commit suicide last summer, has been named defendant in a divorce action instituted by Albert Roscoe Roberts who in addition to desiring the court to sever the marital ties, also seeks the custody of three minor children, the oldest of whom is 6. The ground for the divorce proceedings is adultery, it being alleged by the plaintiff that his wife and Harry Myers have been intimate and also that his wife was intimate with other men in this city, whose names the plaintiff does not know. The couple were married in Huntington, W. Va., April 22, 1902 and separated in the fall of 1909. The plaintiff is a cement worker and is well known in and about Centerville, where he has completed many cement contracts. He avers that his wife is now a resident of Zanesville, Mich.

mother now is identified M'MALLY LOOKED 00ITEL0HES0ME Sergeant-at-Arms Only Democrat to Be Seen by the Naked Optics. LOOKED LIKE OLD TIMES GATHERING AT COUNCIL MEETING LAST EVENING PRESENTED THE APPEARANCE OF REPUBLICAN POWWOW. The new administration officials met at the council chamber, city building, last evening and held a consultation. In looking over the personnel of the new administration, one of the most noticeable things, first coming to one's attention, is the absence of democratic talent. At the council meeting last evening, there was but one democrat, the sergeant-at-arms, Edward McNally. who is also the new first sergeant of the police force. The fact that the law requires the first sergeant to be a democrat, alone prevents the blood of the new administration from being pure republican. Among "Those Present." Those present last evening in an of ficial capacity, included Mayor Dr. V. Y. Zimmerman, Controller E. G. McMahan. President of Board of Works Harry Hammond, City Engineer Fred Charles. Superintendent of Police I. A. Gormon. City Clerk Baltz Beseher, Superintendent of Light Plant Nimrod Johnson, Fire Chief E. E. Miller. Councilman from First ward. Alphons Vei3haupt: from Second ward J. J. Evans: from Third ward. H. H. Englebert; from Fourth ward, William H. Bartel; from Fifth ward. E. E. King; from Sixth ward, Harry Kauffman; from Seventh ward, Frank Waidele: from Eighth ward, John Burdsall: Conncil-men-at-Large George J. Knollenberg, Ed. A. Thatcher, Harry C. Wessel and Oscar Williams. Among those mentioned in the foregoing list, there are but seven who were connected with the old administration. Four of these are councilmen, including William H. Bartel. H. H. Englebert, Oscar Williams and John Burdsall. E. G. McMahan. the new city controller, was a councilman from the Seventh ward under the old administration. Fred Charles was city engineer. Nimrod Johnson, acted in the capacity of city treasurer. It has been customary for the First ward to elect a democratic councilman and other wards have been known to do the same thing, principally the Fourth. However, these two wards have voted in republicans, making council of one, and only one political faith. The last administration was divided within itself, the executive branch being democratic and the legislative being republican. After the order of things has become established in the present administration there should be great team work. An Ungentl. Hint.

TWO YANKEES ARE CAUSING ANXIETY State Department Will Make A Search in Nicaragua For Them.

ONE IS A NEWSPAPER MAN HE WAS SO CARELESS AS TO SEND OUT DISPATCHES THAT ZELAYA DID NOT APPROVE OF MEXICO IN BAD. (American News Sorvk-o) Washington, Jan. 4. The state d--partm.-nt today has und.n- consideration the cases of two Americans believed missing in Nicaragua, and believed to have been arrestei at the order of Zelaya. According to the friends of these men. their cases duplicate in wanton horror those of Cannon and Groce, the Americans with the insurgents, who were shot aftT a drumhead court martial and whose execution let to the crisis in Central America. The missing men are Leon Draper, the son of I. II. Draper, of Greenville. Texas, and Francis Scott, his companion. They are believed to have met either death or torture. For six years Draper lived in Nicaragua, oeing connected with the Topaz Mining company. It was because he told the truth about Zelaya, it is said, that he dropped from sight. At the outbreak of the revolution he was the correspondent of a n?w-? agency. In this capacity he did not paint the Zelaya administration as a former president would have liked. For seven weeks no word has come from the two men. In his last letter Draper sa' I he was taking no part in the revolution. A week lated a letter came from a friend that Draper had been arrested at the behest of Zelaya. A systematic search of Nicaraguan prisons has revealed no trace as to the whereabouts of the missing men. Their friends, in placing the matter in the hands of the United States' government declared their belief that Scott and Draper had been executed, or placed in a dungeon and tortured. Ex-President Zelaya is keeping his hand on the Nicaraguan situation, trying to save such bits of his power as he can. That is the explanation put upon the information sent to the state department by Harry Caldera, viceconsul at Managua, that Senora Zelaya is still in Managua. It was thought she had gone to Antwerp, where her husband is reputed to have S-JO.iXHXOOO banked. In semi-officials circles today it was doubted that Mexico would be given an opportunity to share in the proposed joint agreement between the United States, Brazil and Great Britain for the control of the Central American situation and the preservation of peace. Mexico's efforts for Zelaya, and President Madriz. are reputed to have done much to sever the close ties that formerly bound her to the United States. FOULKE WILL SPEAK The Press Club at Earlham college will hold its first regular meeting of the winter term next Monday evening when the Hon. William Dudley Foulke will address the club. The new club is planning an active term and every other Monday the following men will give addresses on newspaper work: Charles Neal, Carl Bernhard, Professors William N. Trueblood.

source of extreme annoyance to the'ness man. housewife, school boy or

police. The parents of many small boys in the city who thought that an air gun would make an awfully nice present for "Johnny" arc now deploring the fact with the police that a more practical gift was not purchased. Practically every cat in the north end has been worn to a frazzle since Christmas, it is said, dodging the small leaden bullets and fleeing from the aim of dozens of air guns. Window panes have also suffered and the police have been besieged with complaints recently and have been requested to try and put a stop to the practice. WAS PAINFULLY HURT Judge Henry C. Fox. as he was entering the yard at his home. West Richmond, last evening, slipped on the walk and fell, severely injuring himself. One tooth was knocked loose while his nose was badly bruised and both eyes blackened. Hi3 wounds bled profusely. Judge Fox said that he had his hands in his overcoat pockets at the time of the fall and that he could not release them in time to protect himself. He was suffering from a severe headache today.
