THE CAPITAL Still
BOUND BY THE SNOW
Slight Improvement in the
Street Car Service.
PEDESTRIANS MUUH HANDICAPPED

Washington is still partially snow5ound-
/ Overcast skies threaten more falling
weather and the viCissitudes Of the pcdcs-
TRAN are almost as Ereat today as yes
terday. The street-cIeaning force worked
all might. but. because OF the smauness
OF the appropriation az the disposal Of
Mr. Warner Stutler. superintendent Of the
street cleaning department. the force
was materially decreased this morning.
Car Service Stiu suffers.
The street car service. while an i'm
pr0VemeHt upon what it was yesterday. is
stin bad The cars are DELAYED by the
ice and snow and the heavy traffic which
taxes them. Thousands Of persons had
to walk to their places Of work again this
morning because they were either unable
to get cars or to board the cars that
passed their way. All the cars were
crowded and men and women chung to the
I front and rear platforms. while inside
people were packed almost as closely as
canned sardines
Tra3Iers Dispensed with.
Many Of the lines have been compelled
to dispense with trailers. the motors not
being able to pull a heavy load over the
slippery tracks
With all these uncertainties or travel.
/ however. Washington is getting a great
deal more fun out OF the snow and sIeet
storm than many Of her sister towns

Work OF Associated Charities
I Mr.. Charles F. Weller. general sec
Z Rotary of the Associated Charities. stated
( this morning that since tire present cold
snap began many cases Of restitution and
suffering had been brought 10 light.
The majority Of these cases. he said.
/ were amcng women. There are hundreds
/ OF women in Washington in reduced cir
/ cumstances. but who can ordinarily OBJ
tain a living by washing. sweeping and
I doing various odd jobs for other people.
! This weather. however. has prevented a
/ great number Of these women from leay-
/ ing their homes, as many OF them are in
/ ill-health or have scarcely any clothing.
Then there are hundreds OF people Iiy-
I ing in the alleys OF the city who are in a
I positively suffering condition The homes
! of some Of them are minus window panes,
/ and others have dilapidated roofs In
! some eases the side walls are so thin that
the snow drifted in in great quantities.
The Associated Charities have thus far
been able to do a great deal Of good
( among the poor families and individuals.
( The various other charitable Organiza-
/ tions Of the city ere also actively az
7 work TO alleviate distress and enable the
I poor TO obtain some Of the necessities Of
! life.
