New York Jan. 1.-THE phenomenon Of
a real snowstorm in one of the most
errauc Januaries and one of the mildest
winters in years, startled the Weather
Bureau this morning. 1t has been trying
TO get snow by the persuasion of prophecy
ever since the middle Of December, when,
in the normal. old-fashioned days before
the weather had any official bosses, snow
had a habit of coming around here once
in a while. Not in sixteen years has q
January advanced so far as this one
without a fake
Low pressures. OF. in other words storm
areas, have been drifting in from the
Pacific and crossing the continent north
Of US for the last month OF more. They
have not come close enough, however, to
drag down any winter temperature. The
low pressure that struck this section this
morning was bred down in Texas. and
swishing against an unusually cold and
clear section Of air over New England
where the temperature ranged between
70 and p degrees beloY zero. created the
snowstorm.
The low temperature affected all lOcali-
ties north and northeast Of New York.
Down as far as Hartford the theTmome-
ter recorded . degrees below zero, and in
the northern part of this State it was
from 20 10 30 degrees below. There ought
to be no complaint about the ice crop IN
Maine. as there is no place there where
the temperature is not below zero.
Railroads with passengers from New
England points were harmed more by the
intense cold up that way than by the
snow that drifted across the tracks, al
though the snow helped 10 hinder traffic.
The lowest temperature Of the day here
came in the first hour Of the snowstorm,
around I o'clock when the mercury
dropped to a degrees. At S o'clock to
night it was 3 degrees. At that time Six
inches of snow had fallen.

State Express arrived very nearly on
time, but the Eastern Express was two
hours late the New Yorker an hour and
twenty minutes. the Southwestern Linn
tied three hours and the Lake Shore

ported that the cold had been worse than

Now that the San Francisco board
of education has unanimously re-
scinded its resolution of last Octo-
Der, by which the Japanese were
segregated in the San Francisco pub

the understanding reached at the
Washington conference, peace may
reasonably shine serene-for a
while.

to the effect that should the Presi-
dents reciprocal promises to the
board regarding discretionary re-

be carried out, the board may feel
at liberty 20 readopt the October

Governor Dement'S Visit.

Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois, one
Of that interesting group of reform
State executives who have forced
themselves into public recognition
in recent years, was visitor in
Washington for a few hours yester-
day. Governor Deneen is one of the
men whom the country will know
more about. He represents the VIC
tory Of the new political thought in
Illinois, and his administration has
thus far more than fulfilled all ex-
pectations.
Mr.. Deneen is "a business governor.
He set about 10 reorganize the adj
ministration of his State when he
went into its executive Office. He
has not worried much about efforts
TO make himself Senator. and he
has never had his head turned by
suggestions of his name on Presi-
Dental catalogues. He has been
studying taxation, getting better
roads, giving better administration
TO the public institutions of his
State, making honest efforts to as
sure that the dollar of the taXpay-
er's money will go as far as any
other dollar. He likes his job. He
thinks that to be governor of a
great State is an ambition high
enough to deserve the best and I'M
divided effort of any man, and he
is devoting just that to his present
situation
As a result, the people of Illinois
are rising up with a determined de-
mand for another term of Deneen.
They elect governors there for four
years, and since the civil war only
one has been elected twice in sue
eession. That was Senator Cullom,

CHICAGO BANKS
At ODDS WITH
SUBTREASURY

CHICAGO. March 1.-THE fact that
( for several years past friction has ex-
listed between the Chicago banks and
officials Of the United States subtreas-
ury. was revealed today following the
Alag Of & petition by The Commercial
National Bank, for the recovery Of $500,

Banking officials claim that shortages
varying from $50 to $500 frequently oc-
CURED. They say that they were forced
70 endure these small losses, as all
money received at TIE subtreasury is
accepted subject TO count. II the count
In the subtreasury does not tally with
the amount claimed by the bank. the
bank must stand the loss. II is said
that these amounts now aggregate
nearly $4,000.
1t frequently occurs that shortages
OF a few dollars are found. but It Is
pointed out that during the years Of 1866
and 1905. these shortages suddenly in
creased TO an unreasonable amount
The $500 shortage mentt oned in this
suit occurred before my appointment
said Mr.. BOldenweck. William p. VII
liams was subtreasurer at the time.
and he told me OF his difficulties with
the banks because OF small shortages.
This suggested a plan 70 me whereby
we could make such losses impossible
without detection. 1t had been the Gus
tom TO receive large packages Of bills
from the banks. and the subsequent
count of these packages revealed short
age.
I'VE now insist that the bills must
be made into small packages. which can

as Last Card.

Report is that managers of West
ern railroads are determined upon a
final effort to prevent honest weigh
ing of mails They object to the
enforcement of Mr.. Cortelyou's or
der that hereafter the weight of
mails of seven days shall de divided
by seven instead of by six, to deter
mine the daily average.
Threats are made that if the Gov
eminent does not find way to
rescind this order the roads will cut
down the railroad service and impair
the efficiency of the mails. They
propose to do this by agreement
and cooperation, for they know
that if a few lines protested against
the rule others would get their bust
ness, and nothing would be gained.
So they propose to intimidate the
Government by threatening to
strike.
The Postmaster General should
pay no attention to such threats.
The Governments power in such
cases is ample; it need not permit
itself to be bullied. 1t is paving
vastly more for hauling the mails
than the service is commercially
worth; and any bluffs by the roads
ought to be called. It is hardly TO
be imagined that such an effort as
this viii avail anything.
