BY Associated Prsss.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The wea-
ther bureau announced today that the
outlook is for continued cold weather
over large part of the United
States. Zero weather extends as far
south as Oklahoma, and the Dakotas
report 20 to 30 degrees below zero this
morning. The coolest point shown by
the official reports is Valentine, Neb.,
where it registered 80 below.
The snow and sleet storm which CEN
tered yesterday morning in the lower
Mississippi valley states has travelled
rapidly northeastward and is now off
the New England coast and the mari
time provinces, passing out to sea. An
unusually heavy precipitation of rain
has occurred throughout New Mexico,
Arizona and Southern California for
some days. While the cold snap con-
tinues undiminished in the northwest
and the Missouri valley, there are signs
of moderation in Assiniboia.

New York in Grip of Frost

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-With miles oe
residence streets in the upper part of
Manhattan island and in Brooklyn
piled high with snowbanks, the dis
comfort of the people of New York
was materially increased today when
snowstorm, which began last even
ing, was changed into a heavy fall of
rain and sleet that covered sidewalks
and car rails with an. icy coating.
Streets and crossings in many sections
of the city were flooded. Travel by
either surface or elevated lines was
much impeded owing to slippery rails,
and numerous minor accidents attested
to the difficulty under which traffic
was moved Huge fields of floating ice
still filled portions Of the rivers and

ENT|CED TO PARK;
THEN IS ROBBED
YOUNG NEW YORK MILLION
ARE FIGHTS BANDIT
Louis de Forest Evades His Guardian
and Goes Out With Stranger.
Receives Broken Nose and
Other Injuries

Beaten almost into insensibility and
then robbed by hold-up man, young
Louis de Forest, one of the well known
family, of De Forests of New York and
heir to millions of dollars, was found
lying in Central park at IL o'clock last
night and taken to the receiving hos
pital.
There it was found that De Forests
nose was broken, the side of his face
badly lacerated as if by a pair of brass
knuckles, and he had been robbed of
fine Tiffany gold watch and 500.
That the hold-up man did not sue
ceed in getting other valuable jewelry
which young De Forest wore was due
to the fact that the young man put up
a determined fight against his assail-
ant, and the noise of the struggle
brought passers-by to his assistance.
De Forest who is 20 years old, is
said to have gone to the park with a
stranger with whom he had picked up
an acquaintance during the evening.
They saw much of Los Angeles and
in their jaunt the stranger turned the
footsteps Of his companion to the park,
where the surroundings were favorable
to robbery.
Shortly after they arrived there he
attacked De Forest and then, when he
resisted, struck him repeatedly in the
face with pair of brass knuckles.
Some boys on Hill street, across from
the park, hearing sounds Of the strug-
tgle and De Forests cries for help
came close enough to see man run
away into the darkness. They then
called Policeman Beaumont. The thief
had rifled De Forests pockets, but did
not have time to get the diamond
studs, gold rings and other jewelry
which he wore
De Forest is stopping at the Van
Nuys Broadway with his guardian, G.
w. Graham.
Mr.. Graham was not aware of the
youths absence until ne was sum-
moned to the police station. There he
said that he had brought De Forest
to California, with him to separate him
from evil associates in New York city,
and had been keeping a close watch on
him until last night, when in some
manner he had managed to get out
alone.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb 6.-Receivei
Loesser filed list today of the cred
itors of Mrs Chadwick, together with
the amount due each, so far as known
in the United States bankruptcy court
While it is understood, unofficially
that Mrs Chadwick's debts will aggre-
gate $2,OO0,O00, the claims thus far pre-
sented to the receiver foot up a total
of only $63,31O. The list, as filed today
shows that the sums due the big
creditors are not known.
Harold Remington, referee in bank
ruptcy, today set February IL as the
date for the meeting of Mrs. Chad
wick's creditors, at which a trustee
will be elected to take charge of her
property.
The valuation of Mrs. Chadwick IS
estate was not given by the receiver
but it is generally believed that all
told the property is not worth to ex-
ceed $50,0OO.
On this basis Mrs. Chadwick's cred
itors will receive, after the court costs
are deducted, not more than 2 per
cent on their claims

JUDGE TORRANCE
HAS HIS INNING

By Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6.-The assembly
committee appointed to inquire into
the charges against Superior Judge f..
S. Torrance of this city resumed the
hearing this morning and the defense
had an inning.
Attorney Samuel Ferry Smith stated
that he had frequently had cases be-
fore Judge Torrance during the past
two years, but that he had never
known his honor to be under the in
fiuence of liquor while sitting on the
bench.
Assemblynan MCGOWAN stated that
he believed Judge Torrahce's ability
and integrity was generally conceded
and that the only matter for the COM
mittee to determine was on the ques-
tion of his intemperance.
In response to question, Attorney
Russ Avery, for the prosecution, stated
that he was willing to concede that the
members of the San Diego bar would
testify that Judge Torrance's integrity
and ability are now and always have
been good.
L. L. Boone and L. e. Dadmun were
among the lawyers who testified. They
declared that Judge Torrance's con-
vivial habits in no way interfered with
his judicial duties.
An adjournment was taken until to-
morrow, when it is understood Judge
Torrance will testify in his own behalf.

WILL BE GREAT SENSATION
st. Petersburg Still in Ignorance of
the Finnish Tragedy

6y A88ocldteQ f'fe8B.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. Z, 1:5O a. m.
The news of the assassination of
Soisalon Soininen, procurator general
of Finland. though occurring before
noon on Monday, was not generally
known in st. Petersburg last night, but
may be expected to produce a great
sensation when it becomes public, as
1t will be regarded as the precursor of
an era of terrorism for which the
events of January in St. Petersburg
and throughout Russia gave the signal.
The classification of the province of
Finland has been meeting with great
opposition and creating much bitter
ness, especially since the formation of
the party of active resistance, which
is recruiting from the bolder spirits of
the original party of passive resistance
and to which the perpetrator of this
latest crime probably belonged.
At the conference of revolutionary
parties of Russia, comprising represen-
tatives of the Finnish Active Resist
ance party, the Polish National league,
the Russian Emancipationists and 9TH
er revolutionary organizations, in Ber-
lin last night, a program for general
concerted action was drawn up and
the assassin of Soininen undoubtedly
was in touch with the dissatisfied ele-
ment in Russia. AS a matter of fact
never before in the history of the en-
pire have events Of an anti-govern-
mental nature been in closer connec-
tion, as has been shown by the univer-
sal spread of the strike movement;
and the assassination of Soininen,
though principally inspired by the
grievances of the Finnish National
lists, undoubtedly was also spurred on
by the use of troops against the strik-
ers in ST. Petersburg and elsewhere.
Little is known regarding the mur-
der, but as Procurator General Soinin-
en- was the adviser Of the Finnish SEN
ate which incurred the enmity of the
anti-Russian parties on account of the
alleged subserviency to the process OF
classification, Soininen undoubtedly
was elected as the representative and
responsible victim.

HBLSINGFERS, Finland, Feb. e.
Soisalon Soininen, procurator general
OF Finland, who before he was ennobled
was known by the name of Johnson,
was assassinatedtoday bya young man
whose Identity up to the present time
aas not been determined. The as
sassin and Soininen's son were both
wounded in the duel following the
murder.
The motive for the crime seems to
official being a prominent member of
the government party.
The murderer appeared at the pro-
curator's residence at II o'clock and
sent in card in French bearing
the name of Alexander Gadd, who is in
the Russian service. The young man,
who was smartly dressed in an officers
uniform, was at once admitted to the
officials study and upon his entrance
fired four shots from a revolver, one
of the bullets piercing the breast of
the procurator, who expired almost in
stantly.
His seventeen-year-old son, hearing
the shots, rushed in from an adjoining
room and fired three or four shots at
his fathers assailant, whose right leg
was broken below the knee by bull
let. He was also slightly wounded in
the shoulder and a finger of his left
hand wc.s struck. The assassin fired
the one bullet remaining in his revolver
at Soininen's son, wounding him slight
ly in the leg. He then endeavored to
escape, but fell unconscious to the floor
IN the ante room. Thence he was re-
moved to the surgical hospital where
he lies guarded by police, answering
no questions and evidently unconscious.
His recovery, however. is thought to
be certain.

Suffering in the South

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. Gall
means of communication in the central
southwest are crippled, to an extent
unknown for years, by a sleet storm of
many hours duration extending from
Georgia over into Texas and as far
north as the Ohio river. Atlanta is cut
off today from all communication with
any point. The telegraph companies
have large gangs of men at work in
the sleet-swept territory but it will be
several days before the wires are re-
stored. The only part of Georgia
reached by wire was Columbus, in the
southwestern corner Of the state, and it
was reported from there that no COM
munication had been had with Atlanta
or Macon for two days.
New Orleans also is suffering from
lack of communication and only two
wires are working to that city. Long
reaches of poles were reported down in
Mississippi and report from Chatta-
nooga today says 500 telegraph poles
are prostrated in the vicinity of At
lanta.
Many southern cities report the Grip
pling of street car and lighting facili-
ties and in every direction trains were

Bells law officers.

general here to begin the prosecution
of these people. He arrived last night.
Attorney General Parker has offered
assistance to the Vermont attorney
general in bringing the offenders to

STATEHOOD QUESTION TO BE
SETTLED TODAY
BEvERIDGE LEADS THE FIGHT
Debate Closes After Lively Tilt Be-

dent Of Outcome

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6--On the eve of
the vote on the statehood bill In the
senate there is still doubt about the
outcome although the opponents of
the measure in it's present form profess
to be entirely confident Of their ability
to amend or defeat 1t altogether tomor-
row.
They claim tonight forty-six votes
committed to amending the bill I'm
such a way that both Arizona and New
Mexico win be eliminated from its pro-
visions, or else that Arizona alone will
be eliminated and New Mexico made
a separate state, while Oklahoma and
Indian Territory will be joined to-
gether as another state.
Senator Bard tonight expressed his
confidence in the ability of Arizona's
friends to amend or defeat the bill as
it now stands.
The fourteen Republicans counted on
to vote with thirty-two Democrats to
bring about this result are: Bard. Per-
kins, Alger, Burrows, McCumber, Hans
brough Foraker, Penrose, Gallinger,
Hepburn, Elkins, Scott, Stewart and
Smoot. One Democrat, Clarke of Ar
kansas, is counted on to vote for the
committee bill.
Beveridge Leads Fight
There is still talk among the sup
of Kansas and Mitchell of Oregon to
vote for it, but it is not believed this
will be done. If the claims of the
opponents of the bill are well founded,
the votes of these senators would do
no good.
on the bill was concluded today with a
speech by Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana,
which consumed the greater part of the
days session.
He reviewed the principal arguments
in opposition to the bill, giving es-
pecial attention to the proposition to
unite Arizona and New Mexico. He
spoke for almost three hours and closed
amid burst of applause from the gall
leries.
Previous to Mr.. Beveridge's speech
Mr. Foraker spoke in support of his
amendment to eliminate Arizona and
New Mexico from the proposition.
Mr.. Beveridge based his advocacy
of the bill upon the theory that con-
gress has absolute control Of the crea-
tion of new states and in celebrating
he said the interests of the nation as a
whole were paramount to the wishes of
the people of the territories
