FROST WARNINGS. Remarkably Unseasonable Weather Affecting Large
 Area. NO SUMMER IN SIGHT.
 ----------- Reason of Government Ex- Pert for the Unusual
 Conditions.
NO SUMMER IN SIGHT.

Washington, May 2S. Remarkably unreasonable weather, with a cold wave extending throughout the country east of the Rocky Mountains, thermometers in some sections registering the lowest temperatures for the season in many years, is reported by the weather bu- reau. Tonight the bureau issued the following special forecast:
 Frost warnings have been issued for the Middle Atlantic states and the east- ern lower lake region, western Cobra do, East Wyoming, Utah and northern Arizona, and warnings of freezing tenn perature for western Wyoming"
 Weather bureau officials say that there is no immediate prospect of any summer weather anywhere. The pres ent cold wave, they add. has been run ming through most of the present month. Heavy frosts are reported to the bureau from Michigan and other states of the lake region The cold wave is particularly severe in the southwest, and is due, according to the weather experts, to the heavy rains in that part of the country. The indica- tions in this section of the country are for light fall of frost tonight. Fore caster Harry C. Frankenfeld, of the IWeather bureau, tonight said:
 "The reason for the cold weather we have had during the past two or three months is that the high areas of pres sure have moved eastward from the northern portion of the country almost continuously, and these have caused cold north winds. That is the only reason I can give for the cold weather areas. As to what makes these high areas keep up all this season is more than l can tell.'
 Not since 1882 has the abnormal weather been approached in this part of the country. It Is five degrees be- low the normal temperature for this month. A temperature of A degrees was recorded at the weather bureau early to-day and 59 degrees at 8 o'clock tonight, and the mercury is expected to drop considerably tonight.

YOUNG PLUMBER ACCUSES ROWLAND Claims Commissioner Said He Would Never Give
 Him License.
TELLS HEALTH BOARD
Penney Says He Took Ex. animation and Wants
 Matter Looked Into.

Before the full session of the board of health commissioners yesterday aft ernoon appeared Thomas N. Penney. a young plumber, twenty-two years of age, residing at 19 Downes street, who came to ask the board to inquire into the reason why he had not been grant, ed 8 license as a plumber by the com missioners. He said that he had taken an examination before Messrs. Eldridge and Rowland about three weeks ago and that he was satisfied that his work had been sufficient to pass him. He made the direct accuation against Commissioner James E. Rowland that when he had applied to try the examin- atlon, MT. Rowland had said: "Ill let yol take the examination, but III never give you a license" MT. Rowland turned to the young man and called out to ask him if he intended to state that he had made such statement to him. Before the young man answered Dr. Fleischner reminded the commis- sioner that questions of that kind should be addressed through the chair. The question was put directly by Dr.. Fleischner, and the young man quietly and determinedly reiterated the charge | that the commissioner had made the statement to him. He explained that | the commissioner had at first attempt ed to discourage him from taking any examinations, and he was for time in doubt about them. Finally he insisted on taking them and at this time, he asserts, the commissioner made the re- mark that he would never grant him a license as a plumber,
 Penney states that he has been in the plumbing business for four and oRe-half years. He served his appren- ticeship under Morris Batter of 4S Dix well avenue. and was made master plumber. He says that since that time he has worked in this city and has had all his work accepted. He also claims he has worked in New York city.
 The board took the matter for later consideration.
 One of the Hebrew meat butchers named Jaffe of the Arlington kosher butcher plant appeared before the board with a request that the plant which has been condemned by the board of health and which under that eondem- lnation must be discontinued after June l 15 be allowed to continue. He said that certain sanitary improvements would be made, if allowed to continue. when asked why they couldn't destroy the present plant and build a new one MT Jaffe stated that most of the customers were poor people and did not stand to- gether so they could build one. If the old one is destroyed, he claimed, condi- tions would be worse.

OCEAN LINER AGROUND
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse Struck in
 New York Harbor.


 New York, May 29-The North Ger man Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, inbound from Bremen, ran aground on the west edge of the main ship channel at 11;15 o'clock last night She is resting easy and in no danger It is believed that she can be 1loated without assistance at the next high tide, which will be at 9 o'clock this morning.
 The officials of the North German Lloyd had received no report from the vessels captain early to-day, but pre- pared to send a tug out to her at day break It was thought possible that the steamer might get off earlier, but she was still fast after midnight, with en ebbing tide, which would be at its lowest at o'clock. The fact that the steamer displayed no signals of dis tress, but showed only anchor lights, satisfied the officials of the line that she was in no danger and did not wish inn mediate assistance.

M'CLELLANVETOESBILL
Public Utilities Act Is Without Mayors
 Signature.

New York, May 2S,-Late to-day Mayor Mcclellan recorded his official disapproval of the public utilities bill, which he tonight sent back to the leg isature, where, it is expected, 1t will be repassed without the mayors sigma ture.
 In a memorandum accompanying the disapproval measure, the mayor ex- plains that. while he is in accord with the general principles embodied in the bill, it is as a whole So destructive of the principle of home rule that but one course was open to him. This was his basic objection, but the mayor adds, in effect, that such legislation would re- suit inevitably in the appointment of partisan commissioners, who in times of party stress would use their power to coerce the transportation compan- es into furnishing funds with which to corrupt the electorate.
