Great Suffering in New York.
h.. yr..SyoA D.,,o

Special By United Press Wire:
NEW YORK, Feb. 5:-With the
continuance of zero weather New
York is experiencing the worst cold
snap from the point of suffering
among the poor since 1898, the panic
year. Already the conditions are
such that hundreds of deaths will re-
suit from cold, exposure and starva-
ton. Any prolongation of the zero
weather may raise the lists of suffer-
ers from the hundreds to thousands.
More appeals have been made to
charity organizations during the last
few days than in years. The great
number Of the unemployed has been
largely responsible for this. Every
hospital in the city is filled with per-
sons overcome on the streets or
found dying in unheated homes. Only
the immediate return to fairly warm
weather, charity workers say. will
AFFORD anything like adequate relief.
