Washington, d. c., Jan. 30-Repre-
sentative Rainey Qll.) read TO the
house yesterday the cablegram re-
ceived from Charles p Taft, in which
the brother of the president-elect

Mr.. Rainey to retract his statements
regarding Mr.. Taft in his speech of
Tuesday
Mr.. Rainey said that it was not
necessary to- retract anything.
MFR. Taft could render a great
service and his denial will be of
greater value said Mr.. Rainey, "if he
should. without delay, address a tele-
gram to the general assembly of Pan

Traffic Stopped, Com
municatiOn Cut Off
Madison, Jan. 80

Madison, Jan 80.
One of the worst snow storms that
ever struck Madison swept down upon
the city Thursday evening, continued
throughout yesterday and the greater
part of the night, practically isolated
the city, delayed traffic, wrecked tele-
phone connections and did thousands
of dollars worth of damage.
The blizzard started in the eastern
slopes of the Rocky mountains, moved
rapidly eastward and seized the Mis-
in it's icy grasp. 1t will be followed
by zero weather today and tomorrow.
This will be followed by rising tenn
peratures resulting in rain and slush.
Beginning with balmy, spring
weather Thursday afternoon, it turned
into rain, then sleet and snow, accom-
panied by northwesterly gale of 40
miles an hour. Nine inches of snow
have fallen, but the high wind caused
drifts of several feet to pile up at
many corners. At o'clock a. m. yes
terday the temperature was % de-
grees, at o'clock this morning it
lowered about the zero mark.
The sleet settled on the telephone
and telegraph wires and made com
munication with other points impos.
sible. The weight on the wires sagged
them, caused many to fall and broke
off many poles.
All trains due here were either sew.
eral hours late, or did not arrive at
all. The snow drifted so high on the
tracks as to make railroad traffic al
most impossible. The train from
Milwaukee which is due here on the
st. Paul road at s o'clock arrived at
this morning. The train from Port
age came in at instead of at 500.
The train from Chicago, due here
at $50, was four hours late, while
the one due here at 1920 had not
arrived at 2 o'clock. The engines
of the incoming trains are covered
with snow and ice. AS the telegraph
wires are all down no report of their
whereabouts could be learned. This
is worrying the officials as the danger
of collisions, on accountof the irreg.
u,
great.
The lack of telegraph connections
is causing much inconvenience, espec-
tally among the newspaper CORE
spondents. Neither the Postal nor the
Western Union telegraph companies
could get their wires working yester-
day. Late in the afternoon, Mil
waukee was reached by the following
route: BY telephone to Dodgeville;
from Dodgeville to Mineral Point to
Belleville to GAINESVILLE by rural
phones; from GAINESVILLE to Chicago
by telegraph and from Chicago to Mil
waukee by telephone.
Not since five years ago has Madi
son had storm that approached this
in severity.

Debris of Fallen Wires.

The greatest damage was sustained
by the Madison Gas & Electric Co.
There is practically no street
in the city that has an unbroken wire.
As matter of safety none of the
street are lights We're turned on, so
there was little light except on the
main streets. A pole snapped in
Wingra Park and also at the inter-
section OF Washington avenue and
Park street, and at the corner of
Bassett street and the avenue En-
ployes of the company were kept busy
until far into the night making re-
pairs. Few buildings were without
light
At the Wisconsin bio : corner, on
North Carroll street, vast tangle of
wires extends. Some were broken,
all were depressed and such a crazy
crisscrossing scarcely ever was seen.

inches thick the observer was en-

Considerable damage was done to
the telephone company. In addition

New York, Jan. 30.-It was learned
yesterday that Dr. William T. Bull,
the noted surgeon, is suffering from
cancer for the second, not the first
time, as was generally supposed;
that in both instances the disease has
yielded to thyroid antitoxin pre-
pared by scientists at Cornell univer-
sity laboratory, and that once the
doctors administered so much of the
remedy that thyroidism developed,
necessitating temporary cessation
of the treatment.
