.DLIzzARD'S DAMAGE is GREAT
LOSS or $5oo,ooo CAUSED BY
STORM IN EAST.
One Hundred Miles Of Wires Down
and Trains Are Running
Without Orders.

Baltimore, Md, Mar. 6.--Practically
isolated from the outside world. save
by pickering wireless communication
and belated trains, Baltimore is max
Ing every effort to bring order out of
chaos.
The storm that brought havoc In its
wake gave place TO clear skies and
cool, bracing air. u
Hundreds of telegraph and tele-
phone wires not only in the city, but
for long distance in many directions,
lay on the ground, trains ran in and
out of the city without orders, and city
traffic was generally impeded Gangs
of workmen throughout the storm area
worked all day in an effort to secure
temporary service. ..
For from 30 to 40 miles in all di.
rections, poles and wires lay in a mass
of tangled wreckage. Miles of poles
and wires will have to be built en-
tirely.
II is estimated that at least 100
miles of electric wires lie PROSTATE
within the limits of the city as a re-
suit OF the storm and more than 500
poles are down. ~.
T.. The monetary loss is estimated at
$3.50, 900, not including the loss Of
receipts to telephone, telegraph, cleo.
trio power companies and railroads,
the latter being placed at figures fully
as high as those Of the former. The
bulk Of the loss falls upon the rail
roads.
New York, Mar. 6.--Train service
between this city and Washington was
still badly tied up last night. Little
parties of those who went from this
city to attend the Inauguration cere,
monies, struggled in with all sorts OF
stories of hardships. Traffic out OF
Washington, they reported, was seri,
ously muddled, and there was little
hope of relief for "a hours or more.

Mrs. Ellis Dunsmore has in her pos
session a couple of valuable heir
Ions. One is bit of broken pottery,
not much to look upon, but its value
lies in the fact that it was picked up
by Ellis Dunsmore in 1916 on the
battlefield in Texas, where Colonel
Tanning was murdered.
The other Is a relic OF the Great Ma.
poleon and the French Army. 1t is q
small tool used in caring for the old
flint lock muskets in use at that time.
It was carried across the Alps by a
soldier of Napoleon's army and later
brought to America by an old soldier
Of France. 1t was given to Ellis Duns-
more as he was starting for the Next
can war and was carried by him
through that war. The relic has been
kept In the Dunsmore family ever
since and Is to be handed down to fol-
lowing generations as family keep.

Wet WEIGHT BILL IS HIT
Newspaper Publishers Appear Before
Committees Attorney For Pack
ing House Says Law Would II,
Work Great Hardship.

Des Moines, March Elm talk be
fore the food and dairy committee Of
the lower house OF the Iowa legisla-
ture'yesterday afternoon, Dave Brant,
editor and publisher Of the Iowa City.
Republican and for ten years a mem-
Der OF the general assembly, attacked
the creation OF new departments and
commissions in the state government
and declared that the people OF Iowa
are tired of constantly increasing tax
alton.
You could save the state 100000
by doing away with every Office in.the
basement of the state house except the
! board Of control and putting all that
work under one board" declared MIR.
Brant. '.At the Twenty-sixth general
. assembly we made a cleaning and took
about fifty men off the pay roll. Since
then they have been cerating new Of
fees, adding to the force. and increas-
ing salaries until taxes have become
excessive. Where is 1t going to stop?
Since the time of Governor LARA
bee taxes have more than doubled, un-
til the time is fast approaching when
they will become confiscatory. 1t is
about time to draw in our horns"
Mr.. Brant was DEPRESSING from a
presentation OF arguments against the
net weight bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Perkins at the request of
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
Wright a..:. r..
Attacked as Unfair.
The bill was attacked as unneces-
sary and unfair to the manufacturers
and the newspapers of Iowa by Mr..
Brant and by e. P. Adler, publisher of
the Davenport Times. M. /. Sears OF
Sioux City, attorney for the Cudahy
Packing company, also opposed the
bill.
Mr.. Brant said that the bill would
deprive Iowa newspapers of more than
$4,000 worth of advertising in one
year. because it would drive from the
state the National Biscuit company,
and other large manufacturers Of food
products that create a demand for
their products by advertising.
Mr.. Sears asked that the bill be
amended to exempt products subject
TO natural shrinkage. He declared that
the bill would force the big packers
either to confine the business of their
Iowa plants to this state or run the
risk Of violating the federal law by
shipping out packages branded with a
weight which might shrink after they
left the packing house. "
Mr.. Adler asserted that the remedy
would be worse than the disease, and
that the need for such law is con-
fined only to butter and one or two
other articles. Mr.. Adler said the bill
would apply to chewing gum and other
articles the weight of which is of no
interest to the purchaser
Commissioner Wright appeared with
samples offood products branded with
the net weight. He said that many
manufacturers already printed the net
weight on all packages and that this
disproved the argument that to do so
would be impracticable. g.e.

site Ear. h.

Ottumwa, Ia, March 6.-The body
of an unknown man was found in the
river here by party of hunters.
The throat had been cut in such a
fashion that it is believed by Coroner
Slaught that he could not have done
1t himself. The cash extended from
the back of the neck, under the chin
and to the ear on the opposite side Of
the head.
In addition wounds were found
above the heart. which must have
been caused by revolver bullets OF
daggers. There were four Of them.
The body had been in the water
some time. The man evidently was a
I laborer and has been identified as a
workman on one of the local buildings
few weeks ago. His name is not
known, however.
He wore corduroy trousers, gray
sweater, brown coat and a burternut
shirt.
His right leg had been broken at
some time between the hip and knee
and he must have limped.
He was feet. inches in height.
