No Fear of Dangerous Thaw.


Although the temperature tomorrow
will go above freezing point, according
TO Prof. Garriott, there need be no fear
of a dangerous thaw in the ice on the
river He says that 1t may be a week
or SO before the temperature reaches a
point high enough to cause the ice to
break and begin to float down stream.
| Harbormaster Sutton was visited by
q Times reporter today, and he said
| that the ice was worse now than 1t
had ever been before. There had been
| u considerable thaw during the last
| two or three days, but the ice is still
solid and shows no signs of breaking,
thing stiff again, and it will be several
| days yet before there is any chance to
/ begin the work of breaking the ice.
| Mr.. Sutton and Engineer Of Bridges
| Douglass will not conduct any more ex-
periments with dynamite until the ice
| that dynamite will prove most effec-
! tive method of opening the channel and
| preventing the formation of ice gorges
Watching Senate's Action.
1t is believed that with the proper
funds all danger of floods by way OF
| ice gorges can be eradicated. and To-
| this reason the action CT the Senate
/ Is being watched with much interest
The House has already passed the bill
making an appropriation for clearing

and although the appeals are far more
numerous than in any previous winter
no deserving case is turned down.

Drop of Thirty Degrees
Makes New York Shiver

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE metropolis
is today shiyering from weather whose
coldness equals in intensity anything
which has been experienced this season.
The weather forecasters predicted that
furs would be the order OF the day
today and their prediction was based
on fact, for workmen in the early
hours felt as though old Jack Frost had
obtained a strange hold on the ther-
mometer which threatened to go below
the zero point.
During the early morning hours the
mercury hovered around and 6 above
zero and though bright sun was shin
ing ii did little to temper the biting
chill of the air.
There was a drop of 30 degrees from
noon yesterday to 2 O'Clock this morn
ing in this city.
