BLIZZARD RACES
 IN ZERO WAVE
(Continued from Page 1.)

Surface and elevated trains were running from one to three hours late. Scores of persons received injuries by slipping on the icy sidewalks. The blizzard reached it's height in Iowa and Nebraska. Reports from Des Moines indicate 1t is the worst storm that has appeared in many years and the damage will be enorn.o .ous. Besides Iowa Sity, where the state university has been compelled to close its doors, by shortage of fuel, many other Iowa towns have reported similar shortage. The frequency of the re- cent storms has delayed traffic for days and 1t has been impossible to ship enough coal to supply all the Iowa towns. Numerous railroad wrecks are also reported from Iowa, though no casualties have been re- ported.
 tn Nebraska similar condition pre- vai,s. The storm has caused inter- ruption to street traffic in Omaha and Lincoln, forcing the. closing of many of Omaha's public buildings. The railroad trouble is so general that 1t will be days before traffic can be moved normally. The. blizzard was also general Tn Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma, while the storm in Cblora- do has become worse over night, acc cording to meagre reports received to- day.
