Clouds a Big Help.

The clouds not only prevented the mer-
curry from getting down nearer the zero
mark. but they brought on the snow,
which began falling soon after daylight
this morning.
Prof. Frankenfield explained that the
observations taken by the kites at Mount
Weather this morning indicated that
there was warm upper air current
about one mile above the surface of the
earth, which caused the cloud formation
scended literally between . o'clock and
noon today.
Now that we have a warm upper air
current and a pail of gray clouds how
much lower may We expect the thermom-
eters hereabouts to register tonight ?''
Prof. Frankenfield was asked
The forecaster replied that the mini
mum here between tonight and tomor-
row morning ought to reach between
10 and 10 degrees above zero.
Not Going to Zero.
1T will not reach the zero mark
now" he added, although the tempera-
lures in the west are still below that.
In the British northwest the minimum
this morning was 46 below. The snow
fall will be shortlived as there are no
stormy conditions shown on the
weather map east of the Rockies, but
the fall may reach a couple of inches.
j
the skies unexpectedly become clear
the temperature would take a decided
drop
The wintry announcement Of the
weather bureau yesterday caused resi-
dents of the District to get busy with
their cold weather wraps, and furnaces
and other fires were given an extra
supply Of fuel. Today, with the swirling
snow and the biting frost in the atmos-
phere, pedestrians hustled along the
streets at lively clip to keep their blood
in circulation. The concreted roadways
of the city became slippery and horses
found it difficult to keep on their feet.
A snow coverlet soon lay on the face of
the District, and about noon Prof. Frank
enfield said the meteorological conditions
had become quite freakish.
Unemployed men and boys who saw in
the falling flakes chance to turn an
honest penny f1ocked to the District build
ing to seek employment as snow clean
ers, while others besieged residences and
sought jobs clearing the sidewalks
Prof Willis l.. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau. today promulgated the
following forecast:
District of Columbia, probably threaten
ing weather tonight and Friday, colder to-
night with minimum temperature from 10
to Is degrees above zero: fresh north
shifting to northeast winds.

Ice King Holds Sway.

The ice king blew into the District last
night on a marrow-chilling north wind,
and in about a jiffy there was a reversal
of temperature. conditions. From the
spring balm of yesterday there emerged
real winter weather. But the frigidity
was not frigid the weather prophets
had predicted by several degrees.
The forecast of yesterday that the mer-
curry would go down to zero by this morn
ing was not exactly verified. as the Their
mOmeters at the weather bureau reached
the % mark at o'clock this morning.
and by 1870 o'clock it had gone down one
degree lower. and at IL o'clock the read
ing was - above and still going down the
scale.
But there's a reason" Prof. Franken-
field said today, referring to the failure
OF the temperature to reach zero.
THE gray clouds which blanketed the
sky this forenoon We're the reason. They
shut off the radiation, and thus caused
the mercury to stay eight Or ten degrees
higher than was expected"

of Extreme Mortality Among the Me-
gfroes" was the subject of highly inter
esting and useful address by DR.. Stewart
Roberts. who showed the startling NOR
tally from tuberculosis existing, among
colored people and cited a readily avail
able cure for it in the shape of clean
hoses. fresh air. good food and personal
hygiene. -,...s7
From many testimonials II was seen
that a very wide interest has been arous-
ed in the subject of the prevention OF
tuberculosis among the people OF At
lanta. These testimonials came from va
rious organizations of the city which will
devote themselves to the furtherance OF
the anti-tuberculosis crusade begun
here, from the public schools and other
sources.
summary of the work accomplished
by the exhibit here was given by Director
Routzahn, who expressed himself as-Us-
ing well pleased with the results. Ths
exhibit has been one to show. the inter-
est of the people of the city in such
movement, and the fact that Atlanta
has been Interested is shown by the
large number of people here who have
don eactive work in the movement and
also by the large number of people
who have visited the exhibit to show
their interest in that way. -
Director Routzahn said that 1900 peo-
pie had visited the exhibit while IL was
here. He stressed the fact that the COM
ing of the exhibit to Atlanta ought to
be the beginning of a vigorous and de-
termined fight against the prevention OF
tuberculosis which, he said. Atlanta
would undoubtedly undertake and carry
to completion.

WHOLESALERS ARE TO
BOYCOTT BLIND TIGERS

A representative number of local whole
sale near-beer dealers met in the Stein
err Emery building Saturday forenoon, or
ganized themselves and signed the fol-
lowing compact:
I'VE the undersigned wholesale deal
ers in near-beer. agree and bind our
selves not to sell or deliver, directly or
Indirectly, any near-beer to any licensed
retail dealer in near-beer in the city Of
Atlanta who after this date shall be con-
victed in any court for selling or keep
ing on hand any spirituous liquors"
The object of this action, Declare the
dealers, is to enforce the law in near
beer establishments and to force out OF
business any retailer who allows liquor
TO be kept rsold at his place. The
meeting was called to order by Charley
Jones. who inaugurated the movement
several days ago. On his motion, ]. F.
Lynch was made chairman Of the organ
ization and 1. H. Oppenheim, secretary.
Mr.. Jones explained that. as a matter of
business policy II had become necessary
for legitimate near-beer dealers to take
definite steps against those who were
prostituting their trade and bringing IL
into legal and moral disfavor.
ST believe" said he, that IL the whole
sale men will take a firm and intelligent
stand in this matter. practically every
Dllnd tiger IN the city VIII come 10 an
end. Wherever a retail dealer is con-
victed of selling liquor, he should be boy
cotetd absolutely. 1 think furthermore
that If IL comes to our knowledge that one
OF them is selling liquor and it can be
shown that he has, then we should bring
him before the association and IL he per-
sists In breaking the law we should boy
colt him whether he has been convicted
or not. In short think it's time we
were going out good and strong after the
fellows who use a near-beer place as q
disguise for a blind tiger"
This opinion was concurred IN by those
present. and the agreement was signed
by J. F. Lynch. /. H. Oppenheim, Ber
Rosenthal, Albert Steiner. William W
Mace. Walter Bridwell. Sib Samuels and
Charley Jones. These represent pTacti-
cally all the wholesale near-beer deal
ers in the city except Thomas Bradley.

and Eugene Carroll. These had previously
given their approval to the movement.
but were prevented from being present.
either by sickness or absence from the
city.
Mr.. Jones states that he will immedi-
ately begin an organization of this same
character, among the retail dealers and
that the two associations will cooperate.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-Brough-
ton Brandenberg, novelist and magazine
writer, who was arrested here last night
as a fugitive from justice in New YORK.
told a thrilling tale today Of his ex-
periences while trying to dodge the po-
lice during the last three months.
Brandenberg told how at Harrington,
Del. posing as Dr. Carr Rheinder,
German automobile agent, and also as
q physician, he became popular In So
ciety. He also told how in Bridgevllle,
a little town nearby, he managed pool
room, of which the town was trying to
rid itself, and then became involved IN
shooting affair which led to feud.
He described narrow escapes in New
York and elsewhere, how later he Kid
naped his small step-son, James Cabanne'
from the child's grandmother's home in
st. Louis, and spirited the little one
away in a wicker basket.
Often Arrested
'T have been arrested so many times
during the last three months" said
Brandenberg in the city prison, that
this is a rather familiar situation. Only
the knowledge that l am right has sus-
tanned me.
MY wife, who is in New York, knows
all about my predicament, and when
took her son from the home of his
grandmother, l acted with her authority.
1 had learned that he was not being
properly cared for, and we determined,
handicapped as l was. to take him to
California, whittier Mrs. Brandenberg
was to go as soon as possible to join
us.
1T found the boy playing in the neigh
borhood of Mrs. Cabanne's house and he
agreed with me that it would be best
for him to go where he could be with
those who loved him. He was eager to
go. He gladly climbed into the big
wicker basket that I secured to smuggle
him aboard the train and into my berth.
81 have telegraphed Mrs. Brandon
berg and upon receipt OF telegram of
authority from her, the boy will be sent
to her at once.
"It is not likely that 1 shall resist ex-
tradition"
The Cabanne child was asleep when
Brandenberg was interviewed regarding
the part the little one took in the con-
tinent wide flight. The author was re-
ticent in connection with the boy. He
said:
II arrived in st. Louis a little more
than a week ago and stopped there to
get my stepson, who was with his grand
parents, who are members of a prominent
family. II was there that 1 determined
to come to California to work until my
fortunes turned. My wife is in New York
and l had planned to send for her and es-
tablish my family in a little summer
home"
