SUMMERS ADVANCE
GUARD REACHES CITY
Citizens Crowd Streets and
Parks to Enjoy Finest
Weather of Year

Yesterday was the finest day of the
year. Throughout the greater part of
the day the temperature was over 30
degrees above zero. The sun. Shone bril-
liantly in a cloudless sky of deep blue
from early morning until late in the
afternoon and the mildness of the air
was like that of June day.
Signs of spring were to be observed
everywhere. Robins were to be seen
hopping about the trees in goodly num-
bers. the ground was springy to the
touch. while along the river banks and
lakes the air was filed with the drum
ming of insects
The river was a sheet of glittering
blush gold. under the suns rays and
was dotted with boats throughout the
day. For the first time this year the
"chug chug" of the steam or gasoline
launch was heard as the speedy boats
nosed their way up and down stream.
Row boats We're out in force and even
canoes were to be seen.
Flock to Lakes and PARKS
Everywhere along the river were to
be found crowds of sightSeerS and the
surrounding lakes were we'll pa atronized.
Humanity was in evidence everywhere,
the sidewalks were thronged, the street
cars crowded to their utmost capacity,
parks and pleasure resorts overrun.
People in automobiles, in carriages, on
bicycles on motor cycles, in street cars
and on foot passed constantly and all
bent on the same purpose-of taking
advantage of the first real sumemr day
of the year.
1t has been many months since the
streets. parks and driveways were
crowded as they were yesterday Como
park, Lake Phalen, the Indian mounds
and the rest of the favorite summer
resorts all came in for their share of
attention and the crowd that thronged
Como park was worthy of July Sun
day.
The day seemed like a midsummer
day. Overcoats were curiosity. peo-
pie sauntered along with coats open
without feeling the. slightest chill. In
the rays of the sun during the early
part of the afternoon it was positively
hot.
Weather Man Explains
Yesterday was not an accident, ac-
cordIng to the weather man, but the
result of continuous mild weather and
a track clear of, all, blizzards and cold
weather. The day was about six weeks
ahead of time, but the weather man
believes there are more to follow A
few more days of this character will
cause the trees to commence budding
and the grass to sprout, but the warm
weather is liable to be followed any
minute by a crisp frost that may set
everything back. <-,,
The highest mark reached by the
Thermometers was Yesterday afternoon
between and 3 O'CLOCK. when the mer-
curry climbed to 75 degrees above zero,
within five degrees of summer heat.
Not until o'clock in the evening did
the quicksilver sink below 20 and how
cred between SO and 20 the greater part
OF the evening. The evening was mild
and very pleasant, the air being crisp
and dry and no dampness whatever ap-
parent. Continued fair weather is pre-
dicted by the weather bureau.

DYNAMITE ON TRACKS.
Terrific Explosion Barely Averted by
Boys Bravery.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 1.-two
1OO-pound boxes filled with dynamite
fell from a wagon which was piled
high with the explosive at the Bell
Crossing of Bethel Avenue and il
scattered about just as a Vandaiia
transfer train passed.
On a side track adjoining was a
car in which there were tons OF dyns-
mite. That a terrible explosion did
not occur is perhaps due to the eff
forts of boy driver employed by the
Il. L. Dupont company, powder and
dynamite manufacturers, who has a
plant east of the city.
The boy almost lost his life in
knocking the sticks of dynamite from
the rails. He got them off and lump
ed to the side just as the train reach g.
ed him.

$4,000 VICTIMS
SAID TO HAVE LOST THEIR
LIVES IN ODESSA.
Russian jew Arrives and Gives More
Details of the Massacre.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 15.-Horrible
in the extreme are the stories told
today by Leon Jacob ziorptin, an
educated Russian jew, of the mas
sacres of Jews early last month in
Odessa, of infants being snatched
from their mothers arms, parents
thrown from roofs of houses to
their death, and men, after being
mutilated and tortured, either cut
to pieces or shot.
Ziorotin believes he, his wife and
9-year-old daughter to be the first
of the Odessa refugees to reach this
country. Through Max Mitchell, of
the federation of Jewish charities,
to whom ziorotin applied for assist
ance, the refugee told the following
story:
ION November (November is
In this country I was in my house
when murmur arose as IL from a.
mob. My wife and girl gathered
around me, and we waited, expect
ing every minute that the mob
would break into our home and kill
us. We looked out of the window
and saw children thrown from the
tops of the buildings. and then,
after the mothers ears or noses
we're cut off, they were also thrown
to their death.
1.-THE police had changed uni
forms for civilian dress and went
around with the Cossacks and
Christian mobs and pointed out the
houses of the Jews. All of the
Jewish people ran to their cellars,
and were afraid to go into the
streets. AS soon as it became dark
took my wife and daughter and
ran out upon the street. All around
were bodies of our people, some dy-
ing, and in various parts of the city
soldiers were killing more people.
Altogether there were $4,000 Jews
killed in three days.
"After passing all these terrible
sights we tried to get a train to st.
Petersburg, but there were none
running there, so we boarded one
for Libava. On the train we mixed
with the Christians and heard them
tell of additional brutalities. One
man said he went to the house of a
well-known Jewish physician. and,
after the physician claimed he was
a Russian, told him to make the
Russian sign of the cross. The doc
tor tried, but was unable to, so was
shot.
"Other men on the train showed
handsful of gold which were taken
from the dead Jews. My little girl
huddled close to me. afraid we
might be discovered to be Jews, but
We got along all right We went
from Libava to Liverpool and then
on the steamer Umbria to New
York.
"All across the ocean my little
girl cried continually for the statue
of liberty. I had reach much about
it and had told her It was in the
harbor as we entered America. We
were afraid until we saw the statue
of liberty. AS we neared it we cried
for joy. When we were landed in
New York my little girl thanked
God for the light we were going to
have after the darkness from which
we had just passed"

come fom clerks and other employees
for services rendered.
There is now a second woman in
