SNOW STORM
IN BALTIMORE
X Network of Fallen
Wires.
STREET CARS DISORGANIZED
One Policeman Killed by Fallen
"Dead" Wire.
JBver^ Train Between Baltimore and
Washington Was Tied I'p and
Tfcoasanda Were Kept From
Ioaufural Ceremonies.
Baltimore, Md., March 4—(By United
Wireless via Washington)—BaltUnore
§P« had a vivid reminder today of the
blizzards which have visited tills city
At periods of a decade or thereabouts
In years past.
Almost the whole city lay under a
net work of fallen wires, street cars
were disorganized In all directions, a
number of lines being out of commis
sion all day long, neither of >he two
telegraph companies had a single wire
working rmt of Baltimore and the tel
ephone service was ^»dly crippled, lo
cally and all outside points.
The storm caused the death of Po
liceman Thomas H. Worthington, who
early today Was removing a fallen
•‘dead’* wire from the street at Mo
liechen and Mount Royal Avenue,
when a live wire fell, killing him in
stantly.
The isolation of the city, so far as
telegraph communication was con
cerned. became complete at 1 o’clock
this morning A telegraph cable
strung across the tracks of. the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad at Green
mount Avenue, sagged so greatly as to
stop trains and had to be cut to per
mit them to pass. The damage to wires
extended in all directions within a ra
dius of thirty miles of ihis city.
Every railroad between Baltimore
and Washington was tied up until this
afternoon and thousands who expected
to attend the inauguravion. were de
tained in this city. From all the com
panies came reports of trees and poles
down across the tracks, and on the
Interurban electric lines the wiring
was down in places. Strenuous efforts
were mtrtie to resume service. From
the suburbs came reports of man>
poles and trees falling under the
weight of wet snow and one awning
frame in falling, broke a man 0 leg A
woman was said to have been killed
in Northeast Baltimore.
The storm ceased about noon an
the weather tonight is clear. Ten
inches of snow covers the ground an<?
the temperature is between thirty ana
forty degrees.
While the railroads report conditions
rapidly improving. wire prostration
,however, is so complete, that it wil.
be several days before normal condi
tions are restored.
Washington Storm Locked.
Atlanta. Ga., March 4.—Storm lock
e«l for six hours, with not a single
telegraph or telephone wire In opera
tion in any direction. Washington
finally established communication with
the outside world at 10:28 this morn- |
Ing. through the Atlanta office of the
Associated Press, and for the greater
part of the day this was the only
newsservice wire out of the national
capitoi.
The wires from Atlanta to Chicago
and from Chicago to New York were
not intinferred with and after com
munication hud been established to
Washington from Atlanta. New York
I and all Eastern and Western points
received its Washington news through
the Atlanta office of the Associate 1
Press, and likewise, the news of the
world. including cablegrams, wen
handled to the national capitol through
J the Atlanta office.
Fleet Ride* Out Storm.
Norfolk. Va., March 4.—With the
wind blowing nearly forty miles an
hour across Hampton Roads, the bat
tleships of the Sperry fleet still at an
chor tljere had a very rough time last
night and early this morning.
The great machines of war rode
through the storm In perfe-ct safety
but several small boats and launches
were sunk or driven ashore. There
was no loss of life so far as has been
reported.
The "Admiral’s launch" from the bat
tleship Wisconsin, which had to tie
up at the Old Point pier for the night
was battered against the pier and went
to the bottom. A launch from the
Untied States ship Panther broke adrift
and washed ashore.
A stcyin of great intensity swept
through Eastern Virginia. Maryland
and North Carolina last night with a 1
maximum velocity ut Cape Hattt ras of j
fifty-two miles un hour during the
early morning.
Coming from the north and north
west the winds in many places brought
with them freezing weather, but the
temperature in Norfolk and vicinity
only fell three degrees, and the many
fruit trees whose blossoms had been
brought forth by summer-like weath
er are yet unhurt, notwithstanding tlie
light snow that fell for several hours
thi« forenoon.
With freezing weather tonight, the
fruit trees will more than likely suffer
to a great extent with probably half of
the Eastern Virginia fruti crop cut off. j
High winds prevailed throughout the I
night, many -cities and towns reporting
serious storms particularly along the
coast. The wind readied thirty-six j
miles an hour here and played havoc 1

“The report is correct. We have

“That is the ideal route for a cable

Mrs.' Mary J. Lincoln, author of the

“Pure Pood Cook Book.” It is interest
ing to note that in a number of recipes
Mrs. Lincoln has recommended the use
of a vegetable oil cooking fat, called
! COTTOLENE. Lard, being made from :
hog fat is often impure and always indi
gestible. It is claimed for COTTOLENE,
however, that it can be used in every
way that lard is, that it makes light, rich,
delicious pastry which can be digested
with ease by the most delicate stomach,
and that it if also more economical than
lard, one-third less being required.

During tHe sessions. Chairman Talf

ijj—ihe House, declared that the ex

no time, except in war. increased as
rapidly as during the past eight years
primarily caused by popular and ex

appropriations for the exercise of j
rightsTand functions belonging ex- |
cluslvely to th-e States, and the ab- ;
normal and unnecessary war expendi
tures in time of peace. j
Appropriations during the past eight j
years, including the fiscal year 1910
lie said, were equal to $7,007,839,1*3
and he declared that at the end of
th present fiscal year there will be a j
deficit of $175,000,000. He severely |
criticised the executive branch for
submitting estimates of expenditures ,
far in excess of estimates of receipts
He placed the appropriations for the .

as stupendous, saying they exceeded j
last session by $35,016,754 and greater j
than at any two sessions prior to 1898. j
He declareJ Congress should be com- j
mended for the millions it had refused j
to appropriate “notwithstanding the
pressure brought to bear by the ex
erutive and the badgering qf innumer
able interests on all sides clamoring I
to get their hands into the Treasury.’’ |

stating that the Increase of appropria- !
tiotis for 1910 show an increase oer !

like a hale, healthy growing boy that must have exercise. The daily papers are our gymnasium.
Friday in other cities stands for bargains. It appeals to the economizing instinct and money-saving desire,
of the thrifty housekeeper. And on this day of all days, we should have our store crowded with eager buyers.

in plain and embossed leather and in imported Japanese leathers. From the misses' size to .14-inch pocketboolu.
