19 KILLED IN GALE
Channel Steamer Delayed,
Snow Isolates Villages
in England.
the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 1.—At least nine
teen persons were dead today as one
of the worst storms in recent years
lashed the British Isles, the coast of
Western Europe and North Africa.
A roaring gale reached 98 miles an
hour at Holyhead. North Wales, and
at numerous other points was greater
than hurricane force of 75 miles an
hour.
The death toll in Britain reached
12 over the week end, with most of
the fatalities resulting from exposure
and exhaustion. Snow drifted 20 feet
deep in some sections, halting trans
portation and communications and
Isolating many villages.
Four persons were lost when a sail
boat capsized off Casablanca, French
Morocco. .
English Channel steamers were de
lated as much as five hours while
snow and high winds drove across
England into Northern France.
Three men were killed at Brest in
a quarry landslide loosened by con
tinuous rain and snow. River trans
portation between Paris and Rouen
was suspended when the flooded Seine
continued to rise.
Important tributaries of the Seine
had begun to fall, however, and it was
hoped the crest of the flood, well
below the record high, would be
reached Tuesday.
At the height of the storm, a sec
tion of the Dover Cliffs, estimated at
3 000 tons, broke loose and crashed
down onto a closed factory. There
were no casualties.
At Saltburn, Yorkshire, where tele
phones were disrupted by the wind
and snow, residents raced through the
storm answering a British broadcast
ing company appeal to notify coast
guards of a steamer in distress.
Thirty towns of North Wales were
In darkness because of power failure.
The liner Tuscania, outward bound
for India, picked up 17 members of
the crew of the Italian cargo boat
Jolanda in the Bay of Biscay.
The men had abandoned shic and
taken to the lifeboat which hadHpariy
been swamped by the heavy seas.

pointed out. instructs a college class
during his spare time.
Maj. Brown refused to expiain the
reason for the order being sent out or
to say what action would be taken on
the reports.
Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, person
nel officer, also would not elaborate
on the order, saying he did not
“know anything about it."
At the time McGrath was cited to
appear before the Trial Board. Maj.
Brown said officers are not allowed to
engage in remunerative outside occu
pations.
The police chief asserted McGrath
maintained a law office at Sixth and
D streets even while he was assigned
to the corporation counsel's office at
Police Court.
The charges enumerated by Maj.
Brown against McGrath are: Accept
ing employment and engaging in an
occupation which, directly or indirect
ly. interfered with the proper and ef
ficient performance of his police
duties; performing legal services for
compensation in violation of the police
regulations; conduct prejudicial to the
reputation, good order and discipline
of the force, and wilfully making an
untruthful statement before a court.
The action against McGrath fol
lowed presentation to Maj. Brown of
an affidavit containing the charges by
Mrs. Mary C. Richards. The charge
of making an untruthful statement is
the result of an equity suit between
George G. Richards and his father.
George P. Richards, in which the
father sued to require the son to re
convey property given him by the
parent.

seen in the neighborhood several times
prior to the boy's disappearance were
discounted by Sergt Frederick L. Kaus.
He said no such report had been made
to police.
Police were giving special attention
to several pieces of rope found hang
1 ing to the trees and lying on the
ground near the skeleton. The theory
was advanced soon after the discovery
1 of the bones that the boy had been
rigging up a swing in the trees and
had fallen and killed himself.
Franklin D. Cummins, father of the
dead boy, insists that his son's body
could not have been where it was
found a month after the disappear
ance. He claims he personally
searched ‘'every inch of that swamp”
within the first month after the dis
appearance and that he was actually
on the spot where the body was found.
ZION GROUP ATTACKED
WARSAW. March 1 f^Pi—Zionist
revisionists deluged the twelfth Zion
ist Congress with stench bombs today
after beating one of its speakers.
Storming the convention hall, the
revisionists released doves trailing
streamers derogatory to the Zionists
as they hurled the bombs. The Union
of Polish Athletic Clubs, meeting
elsewhere, overwhelmingly rejected a
motion for expulsion of all Jewish
clubs.
