CHICAGO CUT OFF FOR \ TINE
commv nie.tion With the Outside
WorIi Sunday Afternoon and Night
Entiseiy suspended-snow Reaches
as Far West as Belle PIaine, Iowa
-sts.rts in tho South.

Chicago. Jan 13-Communication
with tae outside world has been only
partially restored today, following the
severe snow and sleet storm which pre-
vailed in the middle west and in the
east and south Sunday. Traffic is still
delayed and business is still being done
under a great handicap.
The storm extended as far west as
Belle Plaine, Iowa, and over the east
aern p,,rt of that state the fall Of snow
was heavy.
Acc ording to Professor Cox of the
weather bureau the storm which swept
upon the city yesterday had its ORR
gin near southern Oklahoma four days
ago and has moved along thru Texas
10 thu Gulf region and thru the Mis-
sissippi and Ohiee valleys before reach
ing Chicago.
Its central point was near Clncin-
natl. where weather conditions closely
ssimiler to those in this city existed.
The precipitation had assumed the
form OF rain thruout Ohio, but the
winds, were more violent than those IN
north Illinois.
All the central states and the terri
tory north and northwest of Illinois
were visited, and in Milwaukee, Detroit
and Indianapolis a heavy snowfall
continued thruout the day.

Chicago Hard Hit.

Chicago, Jan. Chicago suffered
one Of the most destructive storms IN
dts history yesterday, and for q good
IL rortion of the time was practicalls'
ssshui. OF from communication with the
souts ide world.
Surface, elevated and steam rail-
roads were crippled, none OF them
coming anywhere near schedule time.
but the greatest damage was suffered
5by the telephone, telegraph, and
aligh ting companies.
Several Of the police stations were
without electric light as result, and
were compelled to use gas, lamps, and
candles, and sections Of the city were
in darkness. Despite the city's precau-
tions, fire alarms in several instances
had to be sent from the dispatcher's
onste at city hall by means OF the
elephone.
,rhe one good result of the storm
wss that 1t gave employment to many
idle men and work to all available ex-
tr;l men on the pay rolls of the tele-
phone, telegraph, and lighting compan-
les. The transportation companies
us ed extra outside men to some extent,
but only those able to climb poles
were taken on by the other concerns.
The street cleaning department used
all Of It's regular men and those who
recently were laid off. Today the city
authorities may give employment to
tile great army OF idle men now de-
pendent upon charity. Many thou
s,lnis of dollars will be put into cir
clllatior as a result Of repairing the
d amage and clearing away the debris.
Altho telephone telegraph and
lighting wires dropped upon trolley
wires all over the city, burning out
telephones and falling dangerously
close TO pedestrians fortunately no SER
ious accidents were reported.
The north side appeared to suffer
the worst from broken telephone wires.
!rhis was due to the fact that a large
humber Of the poles have been up for
years and the sleet and snow on the
wires soon weighed the poles to the
breaking point and they snapped off
short distance below the cross-beams.
Trees came down here and there and
scores Of dagpoles were broken off.
Flat roofs were bent and broken un-
der the great weight and scores Of
persons in the tenement districts were
in constant dread Of being crushed.
Owing to the meager reports com
ing in the experts at the weather
bureau were badly handicapped and
had to guess largely on the duration of
the storm. However it was the belief
that it would practically be over dur
ing the night and the snow would not
go much over five inches registered on
the level lake front at Z o'clock.
The storm began in the form Of
rain about midnight on Saturday,
slowly changed into snow, and then
changed to snow, rain, and sleet thru
out the day. The natural heat of the
downtown district, aided by the lake
the northwest winds, keptI
the heart of the city slightly above the
freezing point of 32 degrees.

Eldora, Jan. 13.-Unlike most years,
the mercury has not reached the zero
mark here yet this winter. The cold
winds of the last few days have led
many to think that a cold spell was

cal ice dealers have not stored any ice,

the case and communication will soon

TAFT AND CUBA
Secretary Commits Government as
Far as Possible to Promise of With
drawing Completely From Cuba in
the Spring Of 1909 = Census Not Yet
Completed.


Washington, Jan. 1870 far as he
can see, Secretary Taft committed the
government to a promise to withdraw
completely from Cuba in the beginning
of spring in 1909. This pledge was con-
tained in letter from him to the pres
ident. transmitting the report of Gov
ernor Magoona for the past year. After
saying that the report from the COVER
nor shows conditions in Cuba to be en-
couraging. Secretary Taft says:
"It was hoped by some that the CEN
sus might be completed September
last. did not think so, and am not
surprised to learn that the census has
not yet been completed, and probably
will not be until April or May. This
will postpone the local elections until
June, the presidential election until
December, and the installation of pres
ident and congress and turning over
the island until about March or April,
1909. This is in compliance with our
promise when we assumed temporary
control of Cuba, and it seems to me
that we ought to allow nothing to in
terfere with that promise. There are
important interests that would be glad
to delay our stay there for years, but
both good faith and good judgment re-
quire us to leave at the time ap-
pointed
The report of Governor Magoon con-
stitutes exhaustive history of the Am
erican Intervention in Cuba, and of the
passage Of the island under American
control.
