Raging Storm Causes
 Great Disappointment

Washington, March 5.-(Special.) )-With the eyes Of the nation centered upon its capital Washington was practically cut off from communication with the outside world last night It's iso- letion was as complete as when the early Presidents took the oath and most of the country took 1t for granted for a long time afterward. All telegraph and tele- phone wires connecting the city with the outside world went out of business early in the morning and continued so. At times connections were established by round about route. The wires between this city and Philadelphia were not work ing to any extent last night, but con nections have been established with Rich mond
 The demoralized condition of the tele- graph service meant not merely that news of the great event was not given for the time being to the outside world but that the train service was hopeessly delayed. Many mournful tales are told of the dis appointments caused by late trains. Thou sands of persons, especially suburbanites, or near surburbanites, missed the parade

entirely, having counted on reaching the city hours ahead of it. The train bear ing Governor Fort of New Jersey was four hours late. The federal express from Boston. due at 9:30 o'clock Wednes- day. night, arrived ats7 o'clock yesterday morning. There was a number of such instances.
 Thousands of mad and hungry visitors got into the city barely in time to see the tail end of the parade. and some were so bitterly disappointed they never even left the station before returning home. The parade to the Capitol was well under way before a single Baltimore person reached the city. The railroads had planned to send trains into Washington every 10 minutes but the citizens of Bal timore who saw the big parade were lucky unless they came to the city the night before
 It was not until 9:S0 o'clock last night that traffic was finally restored on the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric company's lines, and a half-hour schedule was established. Of all the rail roads the Baltimore and Ohio suffered the worst. Their wires went down for 40 miles out from the city, and the officials were all but helpless. Outgoing trains were tied mp indefinitely.

Train Service and General
 Traffic Are DemOraized
TRAINS RUNNING BLIND
Telegraph and Telephone Poles In and Around Baltimore Are Broken Down and Linemen Are
 Busy at Repairs.

Baltimore, March 5-Practically isolated save by fiickering wireless communica- tion and belated trains Baltimore today made 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. A multitude of tele- graph and telephone wires not only in this city. but for a considerable distance in many directions, lay on the ground. Trains ran in and out of the city with out orders, and city traffic was generally impeded.
 Gangs of workmen throughout the storm area worked all day in an effort to se- cure temporary service. From 30 to 10 miles In all directions poles and wires lay in a mass of tangled wreckage. Miles of poles and wires will have to be re- built entirely.
 On the Western Union route between Baltimore and Havre de Grace, over 1000 poles went down. and approximately the same conditions exist between Baltimore and Washington. The Postal Telegra ph and Cable company is in much the same condition. The company has a large gang of linemen gathered from as far north as Albany to clear up the devasta- tion.
 The long distance telephone company brought llnemen from as far away a: Vermont, and the company expressed hope of having some limited service by tomor. l. row.
 In the direction of Washington the tel ephone lines were in worse shapes. Many linemen are pushing their way through without waiting on regular trains, some being sent on specials. The full effects of the storms fury were felt on the Balti- more and Ohio railroad line between the Susquehanna river and Martinsburg, w. Va. The company bent every effort to establish temporary telegraph service to expedite the trains.
 No confirmation was received of the re- port that five men were frozen to death while on their way from the Patuxent river to Annapolis a-foot.

STATEMENT IS ISSUED
 BY PRESIDENT LEWIS

''The conference between the anthracite operators and the United Mine Workers representatives will be held at the Read ing Terminal building beginning Thurs day, March II, at Il o'clock a.. m.''
 Despite denials made last night Presi- dent Lewis admitted today that he had seen President Baer of the Reading com pany in Philadelphia yesterday, but he declined to say what was discussed.

 The conference today took up the ques- tion of an eght-hour day, the collection of dues of the union by the companies known as the "check-off' system; the weighing of coal and an increase in prices for outside men.

W-illSesbarre, Pa, March 5.-About 30 representatives of the Mine Workers union met here today with National Presi- dent Lewis for the purpose of arranging for a conference with the anthracite coal operating interests. At the conclusion of the session tonight President Lewis issued the following statement:
 The meeting of the three district boards was to consider the prospective conference with the anthracite operators. Many matters in this conference. like others, will not be given to the public, not because we would not like to fully take them into our confidence at this time, but for the reason that we believe that 1t would be an unwise business method to dlvulge negotiations which are pending.
