Heavy Snow Storm in Iowa and H.
linois.

Chicago. Jan. 20.-As result OF n
rain storm train service on the south
side elevated railroad was paralyZed for
nearly two hours today. endangering
life and discommoding thousands of
passengers. The rain soaking which the
wood superstructure of the road re-
ceived, caused the moisture to commu-
nicate to defective third rail support
near a net work of switches. The
electric current deserted the car motors
and flowed thru the iron work of the
structure to the ground. The entire
structure for a considerable distance
was electrified and menaced the safety
of horses and men below until the cur
rent was shut off at the power house.
Trains ON the road were crowded. Pas
sengers on the stalled trains. after
waiting some time for signs OF life in
the motors, took the surface lines.
The snow storm which began today Is
quite heavy all over the state and is
causing some Inconvenience to railroad
traffic and telegraph and telephone
communication.

vision Of $4,000 Estate.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 2O.-can a
man have twelve widows, grass or oth-
arwise?
This has been puzzling the brains Of
Californians far more than the How
o,d-is-A Ann y question since the death
OF Charles Hail. never accused of being
Mormon. who left an estate valued at
sel44,000, to which an even dozen OF
widows Immediately entered claims.
Some OF the widows we're young and
fair to look upon; som4s we're past the
shady side OF 40. but es.h one insisted
on being the widow, and all offered
some proof OF their claim.
The probate commissioner before
whom the claimants appeared passed 1t
cp to a Judge. and he picked out the
right widow. who came all the way
from Bostnn. bringing with her other
hers 70 share the fortune.
The entire estate. which was dis
.tributed by the order OF the court yes
terday. goes to Boston. The successful
claimants are:
Salem D. Charles. Helen A. Bliss,
Mrs. Leonard A. Hyde, Myron w.
Charles. Fred A. Charles, Jennie E.
Skerry. Mrs. Mary L. Charles and Mrs.
Harah F. C. Barrett.

In addition the plan involves the

pany's bonds. The properties Will be
bought in by the new company. which
will give stocks in the new company to
holders of the old bonds. The stock In
the old company will thus be wiped

many official documents bearing upon
the subject since 1S46. when the
treaty was negotiated.
Referring to the presidents declara-
ton that what has been done in Pan-
ANA has been done as she mandate OF
