Chicago, Jan. 14.-Weather condi-
tions have produced a condition in
the railroad transportation business in
Chicago that is akin to calamity The
coal trade is paralyzed and traffic in
general on the steam roads is so de-
moraIized that passenger schedules
have been smashed and the movement
of freight regarded as almost a minus
quantity.
Chicago, which for weeks has suf-
fered from scarcity of coal, is
threatened with one of the worst fuel
famines in years, according to expert
observers.
To make matters worse the weather
forecastor declares that cold spell
is at hand, which means that thou
sands of freight laden cars i'm the
various railroad yards, which are now
deep in the snow and slush will be-
come ice bound on the tracks. Moth
ing but an unusual rise in tempera-
ture, it is asserted, can then release
them from their frozen anchorage.

Find Boat Belonging to Men
Who Purchased Explo-
sive From Powder Co.

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The search
for the launch which took 500
pounds of explosives from the Giant
Powder Works Sept. % and which
has been particularly identified as
making several mysterious trips
about the bay about that date, is
that the name of the launch is the
Peerless" and was made for the oc-
casion. They have found where
aluminium letters spelling Peerless
were purchased and witnesses have
been found who sighted the launch
when she was painted yellaw and a
few days later when painted white.
The police believe the launch went
from Sausaltic to San Pablo bay,
one of the arms of San Francisco
bay, thence toward Alviso, where its
occupants took an automobile. This
report is strengthened by one today
from San Jose to the effect that an
abandoned launch has been found
on the Alviso slough. Detectives
have gone to the marshes to inves-
tigate. The crew of the municipal
fireboat reported to the police today
that launch answering the descrip-
ton of the Peerless, but whose name
was "Pastime," put into the Harri-
son street dock for gasoline two
weeks ago. The captain of the boat
has a scar over his right eye and
answered the description of one of
the three men who bought the 500
pounds of explosive from the Giant
Powder company. He gave the
name of Bryson to employees of the
powder company.
Recovered More Bodies.
Five bodies were recovered from
the ruins of the Times office today,
making a total of eleven recovered
since the search of the ruins was
begun.
