WEATHER AT CLOSE SNOWY AND
BLUSTERY.

The ancient adage about March coming
in like lamb and going out like lion can
be applied to freakish February, 1906, for
this, the next to the last day of the month,
came with swirlng, twisting fall of snow
which defied the protection of umbrellas
and wraps alike. 1t was STOW of the cling
ing kind, and made pedestrianism very.
disagreeable task.
Yes" said Prof. t4arriott to a star re-
porter this afternoon, February came in
like lamb. Our records show that the
first day of the month was fair and warm,
which is a spripg-like condition. The snow
fall will be shortlived, however, as the
storm clouds will pass away this evening,
and tomorrow will be clear and colder
The fall of ''the beautiful began this
morning in time to catch the government
clerks as they wended their way oficeward
1t soon covered the ground with a sort OF
slushy sheet. and the small boy and his
sled was quickly in evidence. few owners
of sieiglis were also out with their flyers
ana the merry twinkling of the bells
brought back memories of the good old
times when sleighs were the rule and not
the exception as they are in these twentieth
century days.
The fall was boon for the poor men and
boys of the city, many of whom earned
money clearing away the snow from In
front of dwellings and stores.
Urgent Deficiency Bill.
When the superintendent OF street clean
ing looked over the situation and the cash
book this morning he found a net balance
of 500 in the fund provided by Congress for
the present fiscal year for the purpose or
cleaning away snow from the cross-walks
and cutters.
That sum would suffice to pay twenty
two men for one days work. but twenty
TWO men could have accomplished very lit
tie toward clearing away today's great &C
cumulatioDs of snow.
Fortunately, the urgent deficiency bill,
carrying with 1t an additional 5000 for re-
moving snow and ice from cross-walks and
cutters, was signed by President Roosevelt
today, and that sum is Immediately avail
able.
Superintendent Towney of the street
cleaning department. had 20O men at work
by noon, and more will be recruited as
rapidly as possible throughout the day.
Physicians say the sudden transition
from spring to winter, with the city in the
grasp of a swirlng snowstorm and the
streets and houses covered with three
inch mantle of white, Will probably be pro-
ductive of considerable illness.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Z, 1906.
A RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The Legislature should introduce at
once either a new railroad commission
bill, or amendments to the present law
giving much larger powers to the com
mission; especially providing for the
better conducting of the business of rail-
or convenience of passengers that is, it
should be the duty of the Commission to
investigate the conditions under which
the railroads of the State are operated,
certainly SO far as these affect the passen-
ger travel. And the Commission should
have the power to forbid any regulation,
which in their opinion, threatens the
safety of passengers. To illustrate: 1t is
plainly evident to all that the principal
cause of the late fearful disaster at Yer.
gennes was a congestion of trains at the
station where this happened, and it is evi.
dent to all that such congestion should
not have been possible.
Under no circumstances should there be
more than two trains allowed to NEE
az oldliOh NV
siding accommodations. No sound man
agement would permit such, but we Sc,
that the management of one of tn,
principal railroads of the State did per
NIT it, with a result that is horribl,
beyond description And this show
the absolute necessity that the Stat
Railroad Commission shOuld have suf
ficient power to correct this or an,
other condition which they see nigh
endanger the lives or safety of passen
gers.
In addition to this power the Commits
sion should have the authority to forbi'
any arrangements of train schedule
which do not accommodate the public
and compel schedules that would
