Fills a long-felt want. l should be

The colonel grinned responsibility.
"You do it very WELL" said he. Cant
you let me into the game?"
There was the slightest waver in
the promoters glance, although he
smiled brilliantly as he answered: I'll

about anything else. The result had
been that he had fidgeted in silence.
But the accumulated food could no

Birdsall, putting in the haste Of his ut
terance. '"rhe boy is on the prem

Birdsall thought he had heard other
noises. and that they were down cellar.

hot stuff to get us out of the house.
I'm for getting our men in now and
rushing the house. It's me for the

While the colonel was rolling Bird

he heard the echo of steps on the flag

There was that in the bearing and

At the sessions of the street and the
sewer committees of the Board of
Works this afternoon ordinances were
cor sidered on first reading providing
for the construction of three sewers and
thei paving OF twenty five streets this
year invoking a large expenditure of
money. A notice of intention for the
construction Of the East Branch

with water after rain storms, was pre-
pared. "A system Of storm water, sewers

Wires Down Outside Newark
Prevents, Communication with
Towns in State.

Newark awOkc today to ind itself
in the grip of u snovstorm, the tall
end of the big .blixxard that struck
washington late yesterday and isolated
the capital city from communication,
except by wireless, with the outside
world. sF4 saF =, t-.t
A falling temperature and a sharp
wind marked the advent Of the storm
last night. Rain, which fell spasmod-
icaIIy in the early evening. soon turned
to hail, sIeet and snow, and at midnight
"a gale was sweeping over New Jersey,
tying mp traffic. swapping telephone and
telegraph wires and carpeting the State
with three-inch fall OF snow.
The Wind lulled at daybreak and the
thermometer slowly began to ascend.
Snow was still falling at the time the
sun was scheduled to rise in u cloud
less sky, but no ray penetrated the
heavy mass of low-lying clouds. The
weather bureau had predicted fair
weather. and in acknowledging that the
long range weather forecasters who
prophesied blizzard had scored. Pro-
fessor Wiener, of the local observatory,
said:
the clouds soon, and at least a portion
Of the day will be fair"
Although generally unwelcomed the
storm was Il godsend TO many. Super
intendent Shipman, of the Board of
Works, employed large gang of men
to clean the snowfall from the streets,
deYoting his first attention to the bust
ness section Hundreds in need of
work We're given employment, and not
man who applied for job was turned
away.
shortly after midnight the Public
Service started it's snow sweepers NOV
ing all over the system. They were
going at 6 o'clock, and had cleared the
tracks SO that traffic was unimpeded
by the snow. All schedules vera
smashed. however. by hundreds of
vehicles. VINO later avoided the drifts
In the streets by using the car tracks,
and many persons We're late in reaching
their places of business.
Locally telephone and telegraph wires
were left intact, but south of Philadel-
phia there was no communication by
either. Washington was shut off for
hours from the world except by wire
less. Efforts which We're made to get
in communication with the capital by
the Evening STAR by sending tele-
graph messages halfway across the
continent were futile, the wires both
north and south of the capital being
out of commission. The message was
sent from here to Chicago. thence to ST.
Louis to Dallas to Atlanta, to Char
lesion, S. G., and from there to Nor
folk, Va. without success in passing
the last-named point.
