Clnco Ole great Portland conflagration i

Death was absent from the fire a 1
fact considered very remarkable as

the western Maine Knights of Pythias

the City Hall when the flame were

hurt Chief Engineer Eldrldge being
tho only one known to be seriously In
jured and he Wit able to direct the
fight against the flames throughout be

The financial loss Is estimated at
1000000 but this sum will not cover
the los of papers and document In the

was destroyed Other city departments
were swept clear of everything by the

panic and In bringing out moro than
700 persons without an Injury
Many left clad only In their light
regalia but later when It was seen
that danger WU not Imminent some
went back and secured their heavier
garments Earlier in the evening
there had been more than 1600 persons
In tho auditorium for the Jubilee exer

Police Theory Failed
The ruling meant that the prosecution
could not provo tho theory of the po
lice that Detschs motlu fur the killing
was jealousy and revcnliu and that his
wife hfcvlu broken ulUi Kirieo acted
as a lure for the victim
Judge Bregy In his oddrts to the Jury
saidThero
There have been Insinuations hero
and sonia side lights have crept In from
the testimony that this defendants wife
occupied an improper relation to Kerruc
In other words that the woman was a

men yesterday that If Unit were tat

might be some causo for establishing a
motive for the killing but how could It J
be a cause U hu did not know It
Aro there no men who have filth

wuld furnish a motive for the murder

DEATH IN STORM
THAT PARALYZES
ALL CITY t TRAFFIC
Hundreds of Thousands Suffer Delay
I and Many Are Injured as Result
of Sudden Coming of
Wintry Blast
STEAMER IS DRIVEN ASHORE
AND LINERS HELD OUT AT SEA
Local and Suburban Lines Stalled Bridges
I Tied Up and Subway Transportation
I the Only Method Not Seriously
Affected by NearBlizzard
The tail of a blizzard that has been lashing the Northwest with its
icy fury for the past twentyfour hours fell on this city and the sur
rounding country today with disastrous results
Traffic was paralyzed throughout an area of many square miles
I there was untold suffering among the poor and an appalling amount of
discomfort for the millions of toilers who left their homes in a blinding
gale of snow
Four deaths were reported as directly live to the stcm and there
were scores of minor casualties
The Sound steamer John H Starin went ashore in the blinding mist
of snow ofT Vhitestone and dozens of other steamers were stormbound
above Hell Gate Incoming ocean liners did not dare the Ambrose Chan
nel three being held at anchor ofT the Hook
The steamer Massachusetts of the outside line between New York
and Boston is anchored off New London Lighthouse The steamer
Edgemont of the Joy line is anchored under the lee of Fishers Island
and nearby is an outside line steamer of the PortlandNew York line
The havoc with railroad schedules has rarely been paralleled
Eighteen Lackawanna trains were stalled for three hours west of the
Hackensack Bridge and a Long Island Railroad train was crippled on the
Jamaica Bay trestle when the locomotive jumped the track
Brooklyn was in sore straits with every line of the B R T practi
cally out of commission and the Bronx was almost as badly off as if it
had been lost in the foothills of the Adirondacks
Staten Island was not only snowbound but all its teleihnne and tele
graph wires were down
The eastern section of Long bland has not been heard from New
Jersey is still on the map but badly smothered under the snow blanket
Beginning at 7 oclock last evening In
a mild windtossed snow flurry the
storm gathered fury with each succeed
ing hour and long before dawn there
were all tho features of an oldfash
ioned howler present In the open places
the gale swept the Icy particles of snow
In a blinding mist piling up drifts along
the thorotiRhfares to the depth of three
or four feet
There was no comfort or convenience
anywhere above ground and those who
managed to plough their way through
the drlftH and across trnlHc jammed
streets tramped to tho subway where
tralllc was slow but sure Hundreds
of thousands living III tho remote plncea
dependable entirely upon surface lines
inert to walk miles to elevated road and
subways Tho Lone shad Ilnllroad
moved UH trains at a snails pace and
all tho Htiburban roads In Now Jersey
suffered from tho eamo hamper of snow
and plllni drifts
Bridges Out of Business
The Brooklyn Brides was blocked
completely for more than an hour dUI
npr the early rush period and the Wlll
amsburs Bridge went out of commis
sion altogether as a means of transit
from the Long Island tenement districts
to the workshops on the east side of
Manhattan At 9 oclock fifty cars were
stared at tha Olaahattan approach to
th bddce and oa tho WUUmaburc
I
side thero was so great a congestion
that the reserves of the Bedford avenue
station were called out to handle the
crush
As usual In all paralyzing storms in
this city the ofllclals of the various
surface lines declared that everything
was moving as smoothly as on tho
blandest spring morning Suporlntcnd
oit of Transportation Dolaney of the
New York City Railroad Issued A
statement In which he mado the as
tounding declaration that not a line
of his cars was tied tip Reports front
passengers and an Investigation made
by reporters showed that practically
every crosstown line on Manhattan Isl
and was totally out of service
The One Hundred and Twentyfifth
street crosstown lint ran a few cars 1
behind snow ploughs during the early r
morning but at less than n foot paco i
Amsterdam avenue cars were unable
to run up either of the hills from the
Manhattan street hollow No cars were
running on the One Hundred and For J
tytlfth street crosstown line 1
Mr Delaney admitted that the schml J
ules had all cone to smash nnd that
the cars could not be relied upon to h
make any sort of decent peed 111
