STORM RACES IN CHICAGO.
Windy City in Grasp Of Old Fashioned
Blizzard.

CA!cago.-The most violent storm
mat has visited Chicago in many years
commenced at o'clock Tuesday morn
Ing. and at night is raging with in
ctraslng violence. with no prospect OF
a !rsseuins of its force before morn
ius.
Ky / O'Clock in the afternoon seven
inches OF snow had fallen, and it was
sun coming down heavily. The wind
~ frequent intervals blew with a We
loctty OF fifty miles an hour, and ii
hurled the snow through the streets in
such binding clouds that it was impos-
s!b.e to see for greater distance than
a AaIt square, and often the range OF
vision would be limited to a few feet.
\ great number of accidents of
MINOR character were caused by COLI
sluns between wagons and street cars.
l p to . o'clock at night no serious cas-
ualtles had been reported, although
quite a number of people had been in
JLGed by wagons and by falls on the
pavement.
A. : o'clock, when the me-going
crowd was thickest. the wind was
blowing SO heavily and the snow was
falling in such binding sheets that it
WAS positively dangerous to attempt to
cross Michigan avenue and its inter-
section with either Jackson boulevard
or Van Buren, street.
The crossings are used by thousands
ol people every night to reach their
homes in the southern part of the city
and in the suburbs by means of the
Illinois Central railroad.
II vas found necessary to station
IL "a number of city and park police
at those corners to assist women. and
Often it was more than one officer
could do to pilot woman across with
or assistance, 1t was out of the ques-
ton for a woman to cross the street by
herself
An officer was stationed half
square west of the crossing of Jackson
boulevard and Michigan avenue, with
orders to send women back or to bring
them through the Stratford hotel. by
which means the worst portion of the
crossing was evaded.
The street car companies and the
elevated roads Jared well throughout
the day, but the heavy increase of

made desperate work for them. Every

In the suburbs the trolley lines were

of the constantly increasing drifts and
locomotion became constantly more
difficult.

Defense Of the NAVY,

Washington.-Secre Metcalf has
received from Rear Admiral Washing
ton l.. Caps, chief constructor Of the
navy long report dealing with the
criticisms which have appeared re-
garding naval construction and which
formed the basis of the report of Adj
miral Converse made public Sunday.
The report was made by direction of
secretary Metcalf. who was anxious
to obtain from the chief of the bureau
having charge of naval construction
his views on the question. 1t was made.
Secretary Metclaf says, without con-
sultation with Admiral Converse, and
neither of the two officers was aware
of what the otter was doing. The views
expressed by Admiral Capps, Secretary
Metcalf says. are an emphatic refuta-
tion of the criticisms which have been
made and in all practical respects they
agree with the views Of Admiral Con
verse. Admiral Capps' report goes into
the situation in much more detail
than did Admiral Converse; the report,
which is accompanied by cuts and
drawings to demonstrate his position,
making in all about $50 pages.

In accordance with the annual Gus
tom. Governor Buchtel has issued the
following Arbor day proclamation:
BY law the third Friday in April
of each year is set apart as Arbor
day, TO be observed by the people of
the state in the planting of trees, with
the provisO that the actual planting of
trees may be done on the day desiS-
mated or AT such other convenient
time as may best conform to local
climatic conditions. Under this law
We name a day for the education of the
people which we all Arbor Day. and
then announce that the actual plant
ing of trees may be done when condi-
tions are favorable.
'Arbor day in Colorado should be
one of the most joyous of all jubilee
days. 1t is impossible to estimate the
value of trees in the promotion of
health and comfort, and in ministry
to the refinement of life. Every school
ground should contain specimens of
all the native forest trees as can be
made to grow here. Boys and girls
should be permitted to live with the
trees and the birds as well as with
the history of dead tongues and dead
kings.
In accordance with the Colorado
Arbor Day law. | therefore designate
Friday. April nth. as Arbor Day for
the year 1908, and heartily recommend
to all the people of the state to all
professors and students in the educa-
tional institutions, and TO all teachers
and pupils in the public schools that
the day be properly observed with
literary exercises and in the planting
Of trees.

Consumption and Typhoid.

Albany. N YIN his anual report
Just submitted to Governor Hughes,
Eugene II. Porter, NJ. D., state health
commissioner, points out that tubercu-
losis, although preventable disease,
causes $4,000 deaths and an expense OF
$70000,000 on the state of New York
each year. Typhoid fever, says the re-
port, is responsible for 1000 deaths and
a cost of $7,000,000 annually.
Discussing the subject of tuberculo-
sis, the commissioner states THAT from
one-seventh to one-tenth of all deaths
and an enormous proportion of invalid
ism are due to it.
In New York state there are prob
ably not less than $4,000 cases Of tuber-
culosis, with nearly $4,000 deaths an
nually. And it is preventable dis
ease.
Eacn town and city must also take
up for itself the suppression OF tuber-
culosis within its own borders, says the
report. Suitable local ordinances
should be enacted and provision should
be made for hospital facilities
1t Is estimated that there are 20, 900
cases Of typhoid fever annually in New
York state, with 1000 .ecths, involving
a total pecuniary los, of $1,000 900.
Public nuisances frequently exist as a
result Of the pollution of streams The
policy of the department of health, ac.
cording ~ DR.. Parker, is that further
pollution OF the streams and lakes must
cease.
1t does not expect to bring this condi-
tioE about in a day or a year, but IL
does expect that within a cOmpara-
lively short time 1t will be entirely
stopped.
