COOLEST DAY
EXCEPT ONE
EVER EXPERIENCED IN KANSAS
CiTY-oVER 21 BELOW.
Trains Blocked by Snow and Relief
Expeditions Sent Out-Great
Loss of Cattle.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 13.-The
weather bureau thermometer today
registered 2l.2 below zero. With the
exception of February II, 1899, when
the mercury went to 22 below, 1t was
the coldest ever recorded here. Rail-
road traffic is badly demoralized. OF
the hundreds of treins that arrive at
the union depot every "a hours, only
3 were on time today.
The Missouri Pacific started out a
relief train this morning flom Butler,
supplied with provisions. 1t goes to
the aid of passenger train that has
been blocked in feet of snow since II
o'clock Friday night between Madison
and Gridley. Nothing has been heard
from the crew for 4S hours. There is
no telegraphic communication on ac-
count of broken wires.
Other trains bearing provisions were
sent out by most of the trunk lines, to
stock up the dining cars of trains that
are tied up in the snow
Only one death in Kansas City has
been reported as the result of the ex-
treme cold. A negro woman was
found in an alley this morning having
been frozen to death during the night.
In Kansas the lowest temperature
recorded was at Salina where the gov
ernment thermometer registered 81 de-
grees below zero. At various other
points in the state 1t ranged from 20 to
29 below. With the exception of local
trains on some divisions, there is
scarcely train moving In the state on
anything like schedule time. In many
instances traffic is at complete stand
still.
1t cannot be determined at present
how great the loss has been to stock,
but 1t will be very great. A large per-
centage of the cattle that come out of
the present cold snap alive will be so
weakened from exposure that they
are liable to die before spring unless
the weather remains extremely moder-
ate From many places come reports
of coal famine with no immediate
prospect of relief in sight owing to the
demoralizing conditions of the rail
roads
In the great peach belt of Southern
Missouri where zero weather is almost
unknown, the barometer last night
went down in some instances to "A be-
low zero, while IA below was an aver
age temperature. Fruit men are of the
opinion that over 80 per cent of the
peaches are killed.

MINE ON FIRE
II Is Believed None of the Miners
Lost Lives.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 13.-The fire
which broke out in the Belle Sumyer
coal mines, the property of the Ten
nessee Coal G. Iron Railroad Co., at
midnight, is still blazing and despite
the report that not one OF the 200 men
employed in the mine were in the
shafts at the time the blaze began to
spread. excitement runs high and
hundreds of men, women and children
have assembled at the mouths of the
shafts waiting for news.
Only meagre details are obtainable
at this time. So much is known here,
however, that huge columns of smoke
and fire are issuing from the mines
and If, contrary to official assurances,
any miners should happen to have
been in the mine at the time the con-
aagration broke out there is absolute
ly no hope of their being saved.

ANOTHER SLAP AT
THE PRESIDENT
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
PREPARING 1T.
Question Arises Whether Chief Exec
utive Can Declare "Construe'
tive Recess Of Congress.

washington, Feb. 13-The senate
committee on the judiciary is prepar-
ing another slap at the president
This time 1t will be In connection WIN
the chief executives action In con-
STRUNG recess between the adjourn-
ment of the extra session and the be-
ginning of the regular session OF con-
gress in December 1908. Those two
things occurred at precisely noon Oh
December 7th, 1908, but for the pur-
pose of renewing the nominations OF
certain officials who had not been con-
firmed in the special session the pres
ident decided that there was a con-
structive recess. Senator Tlllman at
once took issue with the president and
introduced a resolution for an inquiry
by the judiciary committee. Senator
Spooner had prepared an argumens
which has been accepted by the whole
committee as expressing its views.
This report will not only declare
against the presidents power to con
strue" a recess but will indicate the
belief of the senate that his authority
to make appointments In the recess OF
congress of men whose nominations
were sent in but not confirmed during
the session of congress, is subject to
limitations which have not heretofore
governed the action of the president
and which are explained at length.
