Swept by a riving snow and bitter cold, the east era .peaboard and far inland today faced the greatest crisis of the winter, jhe weather bureau announced that Tphile snows would cease generally to night, further drop in temperature ould follow to hamper the stagger pB task of the National railroad. No Belief is in sight. 5 The unprecedented Garfield indus trial suspension order ends at mid night tonight. Its effect has been vir tually nullified by the terrific weather pt the iast few days. Whil isolated points- report some Relief as a result of the order, others State that conditions are woree. Where eoal has been moved to some ports it gas hit almost unsurmountable obsta cles in loading. Many ships, however, have been supplied. I Xo General Embargo. Continued conferences of fuel and railroad officials today failea to de velop further constructive measures to jkieet the crisis. It was officially de clared that there would be no general mbargo at least for the present on the freight shipments now clogging ihe lines. At Director General Mc Adoo's office today it was stated that fce "is studying the need for possible eurtailment of passenger service." long with numerous other plans. There is little likelihood, it was stat ti, that this step will be taken im mediately, however, tho the demand for it is Increasing. j. Thruout the east and southeast to aay all traffic was blocked by snow and cold. Cars, yards and terminals were packed with snow, ice and sleet. Trains were hours late. T Six Inches Snow in I). C The southeastern seaboard experi- nced its heaviest snow in years, fcix Inches fell here and the city fuel de partment was closed with a sign "No coal" on the door. Suffering thruout 1 is sectio.n is increasingly severe with the prospect of no relief because of M e freight jam. As far south as Atlanta. Ga. the row an ", sleet and bitter cold swept aver the cities. Wires were paralyzed everywhere thru the section, coal shortaee was leading to critical sutler iig and fear was felt in the south for $ome of the winter crops. May Ilavc to Extend Shutdown. n t A general embargo is still held a ecessity by fuel administration offi cials. An extension of the suspension Order or a new order later this week inaugurating another period of sus pension, is admittedly being consid ered. Drastic curtailment of passen ger traffic also is under advisement. - Today a heavy blanket of snow car peted the east. More than five inches had fallen in this vicinity up to 8 'clock this morning and it was still eomin,ar down. All traffic "was at a standstill. Trains were blocked all al -ig the lines. Extremely low temperatures thru Gnit New England, New York, Penn sylvania and other eastern states has lrft piles of freight unmoved. Trains ave been frozen in, cars derailed by snow and ice and switch yards are .unable to work at anything like full capacity. r 31 Kelow Zero in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania suffered with temper atures as low as 31 degrees below yro. northern New York 20 below, Ohio 1. decrees below, West Virginia . degrees below and New England 9 degrees below. Rapid freight move ment whs impossible in the last 24 hours under these conditions. Effects of the five-day suspension period die. not begin to show until Saturday, when a drop in the tempera ture set in and retarded all efforts to hustle cars thru. ; Some relief will be obtained by the Continuance of the priority regulations issued by Doctor Garfield, when he promulgated his fuel order designa tion thai coal must first be supplied to dor.estic consumers, public utilities and ships before being given to other needs; Coal Movement Improves. Doctor Smith reported today that all transportation had been slowed up by severe weather. v Some hope was seen in Smith's re port that movement of fuel eastward from Chicago had improved and that empties were being speeded back to the mines In large numbers. 10,000 NAVY FLYERS Secretary Daniels Seeks Legislation to Increase From 3,500. Washington, Jan. 22. Legislation to more than double the authorized enlisted strength of the- navy and to Increase the number of navy flyers from a.500 to 10.000 was asked of con gress today by Secretary Daniels. Notice to Men! I have cleaned up most of my debts, but still owe about $300. which I want to pay imme diately. Fortunately, I have on hand a stock of fast-dye wool ens, purchased two years ago. The mills Vould be glad to take .the) goods back, but I'd. rather, let, you have them at cost. I'll save you $15 or $20 on a winter or spring suit,' if you place your order now.

City, Jan. 2 2 Every brewery in Missouri must stop work two days each week, according to an order issued today by State FueljDi rector Crossley, which provides there shall be no brewing or bottling beer or "other beverages" these days. "You will be required to supply this ofrice," reads the order, "with ade quate written evidence certified by oath once each week that your con sumption of coal has been reduced by at least 25 per cent below the average quantity used by -you during thr month ot December. 1917.1 This order shall remain in force for a period' of thirty days, unless reoked, and shall date from 8 a. mi today." FOOD WAS POOR Judge Fines Man Dollar for Breaking Quarantine. Mrs. Fred Verity Tells of Pest House Conditions. . Heaven is not a house filled with three perfectly good men with nothing, to do, according tp- ideas expressed to Judge Rad Lee in the court of Topeka today by Mrs. Fred Verity, formerly Eva Lambert. Especially strong is a woman's disillusionment, Mrs. Verity testified, when the house is a pest l ouse, the food is inferior in quality, almost minus in quantity, ana me water must be carried by smallpox patients with sore hands and sore feet. Mrs. Verity's blunt, straight from the shoulder testimony, tinged with none of the superlative elegance of a repartee at a pink tea, won the sym pathy of Judge Lee. Result, Emery Hannah charged with breaking quar antine from the city pest house es caped with a fine of 51 and costs. Judge Lee announced after the hear ing he had had a good mind to turn Hanna free. ' - Pest House Inmates. Mrs. Verity Jiad lust 'returned from spending two weeks of the cold weath er m, Albuquerque, M., wnen sne discovered she had smallpox. She was sent to the pest house, near 'the city tubercular sanitarium. Emery Harlnah was similarly afflicted ars were Allen Storey ami anotner man wno was not present at the trial. The third man has left the city. All three together with Mrs. Verity were confined in the pest house. Mrs. Verity was the first -itness called. , She lived up to the enviable reputation of the name Verity, estab lished by her husband red irat), when he took a sixty-day jail sentence rainer man ten neiiii xiusu ittiimoi he hadn't an whisky in his house when a gunny sack full was hidden in the wash room. "Mrs. Verity told me the food was scarce and very poor in quality," said Judge Lee. "They objected to food being carried from the tubercular sanitarium to the pest house adjoin ing. They were covered with sores, she said, and yet had to carry water." Long: Days. Little Food. Similar testimony was offered by Hannah and Storey, Judge Lee stated. Dr. H. L. Clark Is quoted as saying he had not known . conditions were as bad at the pest house as the word pic tures drawn and had been assured that the treatment accorded the pa tients was good. The witnesses went on to tell of the long days with little food, their dreams of a table filled with fried eggs, meat and other things and Hannah's Yinal decision to break the law ot the land by going into Topeka to buy some thing to eat. This, testimony showed, he did do he came into Topeka and loaded his arms down with the things they had been dreaming of for days. Hence, the complaint and trial. There is 'another charge, that of wife desertion hanging over Hannah. He will face trial on that charge, later. no thaw' inHsight fContlnoed from Page One.) rule. .. The lowest temperature Mon day night was recorded at 7 o'clock this morning, with a reading of 10 degrees. This temperature is 5 de grees below the normal night tem perature for the date, but a twelve mile wind from the west and a bright sun overhead was gradually forcing the mercury up at 9 o'clock this morning. There is no chance for snow in this section either today or to morrow, and the indications point to continued sunshine for some days to come. Oklahoma City reported a low tem perature for the night of 14 degrees, or 4 degrees warmer than in Topeka. The boys in olive drab, sleeping in theit open tents, are having quite chilly evenings. Those hardy To pekans who sleep on sleeping porches in this weather should be able to give a very good description of -the condi tions under which Camp Doniphan goes to its rest every night at taps. The official forecast today says fair tonight and Wednesday; warmer Wednesday and in southwest portion tonight. Shippers should protect 36-hour shipments north, east and west against a temperature of 15 degrees, and south against 20 degrees. The highest temperature on record in Topeka for this date was 6, in 1900, and the lowest was 5 below, in 1888. DAILY WEATHER TABLE. Furnished by the weather bureau office.

K" politics in the war work and was heatedly answered byodge and Pen rose, "trying to stop criticism of the president." party lines were drawn taut, today. The appearance of Roose velt only served to accentuate the bit terness of the Democrats a vast ma jority of them at what they believe a concerted plan to discredit the ad ministration previous to the opening of the fall congressional campaigns. But a few Democrats are standing behind Chamberlain in ' his effort to improve what he believes to be a faulty situation in the war depart ment. These, with the virtual solid Republican strength, will make the fight for control of the senate for or against President Wilson the mos dramatic in Us history. The battle Vill open when the sen ate meets Thursday. Senator Cham- nenta'"rW,HLr.Zi8 ""L. ??P:T"-lan government permitted full re. nents of the measure immediately by calling up the war cabinet- bill for second reading and reference to com mittee. Administration -forces are j 'loaded" for Chamberlain. They will aemana a roil call on senator Swan son's motion to refer the bill to the naval committee as well as to the military affairs' committee. Swan son's argument was that s the pro posed war cabinet would have con trol of naval as well as millt'arv Dlans. the navy committee ought to pass on me Din. Talk of Compromise. Senators standing with 'the admin istration against the bill made no se cret today of the fact that Swanson's move was merely the first in a series designed to beat the bill. The roll call on committee refer ence will tent senate sentiment on the bill, Chamberlain said today. Already there is talk et compromis ing the fight by accepting the director of munitions, in return forthe defeat of the war cabinet measure. The di rector of munitions would prove much less objectionable to the administra tion because he would have authority only over purchasing and production of supplies. Even that much upset ting by congress of the present plans for the war department will not be accepted, however, except to prevent enactment of the war cabinet bill. Re publican leaders today were planning a caucus to decide how they will vote on the war cabinet and munitions di rector bills. Democrats probably will have a similar session. Some congres sional leaders saw Jhe danger of the majority party being forced to accept one or both bills purely from the standpoint of "safety first.' Penrose AVill Answer Stone. Thepolitical fires are now raging. Senator Penrose has announced he will make a speech showing up Dem ocratic mistakes in the conduct of the war. Other Republican senators are considering like speeches. When Penrose does speak he will get as vigorous an answer as he gives Stone's attack. The partisan flames are likely to spread to the house, many of whose members listened to Stone and Penrose. There was no denying the fact today that in both houses politics is no long-' er under control. After breakfast Roosevelt was in better humor. "I am infinitely more interested in what the president has said about Mr. Chamberlain than what Mr. Stone has said about me," he said. "The first person I see today will be Senator Chamberlain, and the next Senator Johnson until I have seen both I don't care to make a statement To Boost Universal Training. ' "My purpose in coming downs is to do everything I can to help speed up the war so as to make our co-operation in it as effective as possible at the earliest possible moment, and in the second place to give all the support I can to the bill championed by Senator Chamberlain and Congressman Kahn for introduction at once as our perma nent policy the system of universal obligatory military training for our young men. .

BATTLE ON MACEDONIA FRONT Bulbars Take Offensive Against " French and Greeks. Complete Inactivity Reigns on French anT Italian Fronts. (By the Associated Press.) Austria-Hungary will continue to striye for a general peace, but on the terms previously offered. This is the answer given the leaders of discon tented workmen who have quit work to demand peace, by Dr. von Seydler, the Austrian premier. Emperor Charles, he said, desires to end, the war at the earliest" possible moment. "o new npapA terms were enunci- aa a result of the war were disclaimed by the premier. Other ministers reforms aa re Iaxation of the rigid laws. Ihe labor leaders then called upon their comrades to resume work, but the IsCtest information is thatthe gen eral strike is still in progress, with disorders at some places. Resigna tion of the Austrian premier. Von Seydler, is reported by a Berlin news paper. but1 there is no press or official confirmation. Count von Toggenburg minister or tne interior, is saia to have been asked to form a new cabi net. . x ' Government Encourages 1'prising. Importance is attached to the Aus trian political situation by London newspapers, some of which believe the government . is aiding the work men's propaganda for peae in the hope of influencing the Brest-Litbvsk negotiations. The fact that uie Aus- ports of the" meeting between the la- borites and the ministry to leave, the country is looked upon as significant. Doctor von Seydler indicated no les sening of the demands on Russia and a German newspaper reports that unless the Russians accept the offer of the central- powers, the peace nego tiations will be broken off. The con ference at Brest-Litovsk has been sus pended until January 29, and Foreign I'inister Trotzky, head of the Russian delegation, has gone to Petrograd for : consultation with his government. i Almost complete military inactivity I persists on the fronts in France and i Italy. . j ISuigars lrive Out lcnch. On the Macedonian front Bulgarian troops have attacked the French posi tions west of the Vardar heavily. The efforts came after violent artillery preparation and the Bulgarians were able to enter the French trenches at rnly one point from which they were thrown out by Greek troops. A serf1 ous break in the entente line west of the Vardar might have important re sults. Berlin reports that th Bulgar ians wcra successful in patrol engager msnts. - British political circles are discuss ing the resignation from the war cab inet of Sir Edward Carson, leader of the Ulster Unionists, on account of the Irish situation. It has been expected that the Irish convention which has been discussing plans for home rule in Ireland ' would make its report shortly.

Tomorrow at noon two of those June fawns that attracted so much at tention out at Gage park last summer will be served up as juicy venison steaks at the Chamber of Commerce. The ocasion is what is termed as "deer-ladies' " day. same being tfce second of the new innovation of set ting aside a day every once in a while for the entertainment of the ladies of the city. "We want every" woman in Topeka to feel that the Chamber of Commerce is open to her on these days," said George P. McEntire, president, in speaking of tomorrow, "and tomorrow we are able to offer something unusu al in the line f meat.
