MANTLE OF SNOW
COVERS THE WEST
No Relief In Chicago and Surround

Tied Up by Drifts.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-There was no re.
lief yesterday from the storm which has
beset Chicago for three days. Snow
continued to fall all day and the street
Car traffic was blockaded because of
the drifting of the snow. The furi-
Gus wind subsidized somewhat in the
early morning, and the storm lost
some of its resemblance to blizzard.
About six inches of snow had fallen
to noon, and underneath this mantle
there was sheet of ice which made
the footing of horses and pedestrians
uncertain.
From many sections of the middle
west reports which told of conditions
much like those in Chicago have come
In. Indianapolis reported heavy
snow and dispatches stated that train
service was demoralized, nearly all
incoming trains being delayed from
two to six hours, while the trains from
the east were even longer overdue.
Milwaukee reported prospects for
the heaviest storm of the year, and
the snowfall was accompanied by a
high wind, which caused the snow to
drift. This resulted in the stalling Of
many trains.
From the extreme northern section
of the United States come reports of
zero weather and heavy snowfall.
st. Paul and Minneapolis were covered
with mantle of snow ten inches deep,
and transportation was reported at al
most a StandStill
From Pontiac, ILL.,, came a report
that cars on the Bloomington, Pontiac

TO GUST OIL TRUST
Attorney General Asks Action
in Missouri.
COMPANY PAYS $4,000 FINE
Major Files Suggestion with Supreme
Court That Concern Be Made to
Comply with Edlct of Tribunal
Waters-Pierce to Seek Aid.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 16.-On
the grounds that the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company of Missouri has not COM
piled with the custer decree of the SUI
preme court of the state an answer
filed yesterday, Attorney General Ma
jor last evening filed with the court a
suggestion that the custer be made
effective against the concern. This
course was agreed upon after confer
ences between the attorney general,
Gov. Hadley and former Assistant At
torney General John Kennish, who as
sisted Hadley in the original presenta-
tion of the case. The action of the at
torney general will be based upon the
fact that the company has not fur
nished satisfactory evidence that it
has severed relations with the Stand
tween the state officials followed a
talk between them and Henry S.
Priest, attorney for the company.
Fine of $4,000 Paid.
Payment of the fine was made by
the tender of certified check for
$4,000 to the clerk of the court. The
acceptance is silent so far as showing
a reorganization Independent of the
Standard Oil Company is concerned
and there is no showing that the New
Jersey corporation does not still own
60 per cent. of the Waters Pierce
stock and control the affairs of the
company.
1t is said that the Waters-P Pierce
Company will answer later that it has
been unable to comply with the reor
ganization order and will ask the
court to aid it in carrying out this por-
ton of the decree.
Contest Almost Certain.
If this is done a contest between the
Waters Pierce and Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana is almost sure to re-
suit, the latter concern having petit
toned the court to have the majority
stock in the Waters-Pierce Company,
