Death in the Wake
Of Western Blizzard

CHICAGO, Jan. 2-Death and suffer-
ing throughout the West, with a bliz-
card unequaled in recent years raging
and the thermometer lowering around
the zero mark as far south as Texas,
marks the first cold wave of 1911.
One man in Fargo, n. Oak, froze to
death. Trains throughout the West are
running late, and the car service of all
Western cities is either seriously i'm
paired or entirely blocked.
Great losses Of cattle and sheep on
the plains are expected, and ranchmen
are using every precaution to protect
their property.
Tho blizzard and the cold wave will
extend its grasp over the East, say
weather reports, and before nightfall
It will have touched the Atlantic Coast.
The center Of the cold wave is now
over Michigan. Predictions by local
Government weather officials today in
dicate that Illinois and the North CEN
tral States tonight will have zero wealth
er generally. No relief is ir sight.
The coldest weather Of the morning
reported was at Bismarck, N Oak,
where the mercury touched 26 degrees
below zero.
Snow fiurries here marked the cold
wave which reached Chicago last night,
and the thermometer promised to touch
The zero mark by nightfall. Poor fam
i1ies OF the city made many calls on the
charity organizations Of the city, which
are actively engaged in relieving the
distress caused by the blizzard.

JUSTICE TO REVIEW
A|S own OPINION
Precedent Will Be Estab-
lished in Supreme Court
by Van Devanter.

A precedent will be established next
week at the Supreme Court of the
United States, when Justice Willis Van
Devanter participates in the hearing on
the Standard Oil trust suit. AS judge
of the circuit court for the eastern dis
trict of Missouri, Van Devanter sat in
the Standard Oil case and concurred
in the unanimous opinion in favor of
the Government. AS justice of the Su-
preme COUNT he will now be called upon
TO review a decision in which he himself
participated
1t Is very unusual for a justice Of the
Supreme Court to take part in an APP
peal on a case with which he has had
anything to do in the lower courts. But
President Taft, 1t is understood. has
specially requested Justice Van Devan-
ter to sit in the Standard Oil case, in
order to make full bench. The Execu-
tive believes that, inasmuch, as courts
are frequently known to review their
own decisions, II is not amiss for q
Judge to do likewise.

A[TERCONST|TUT|ON
TO HONOR A. L|SNER
Chamber of Commerce
Wants Him Both Treasurer
and Board Member.

An amendment to the constitution of
the Chamber Of Commerce has been
posted on the bulletin board by A. Left
wich Sinclair, which, while not so stated,
is to be proposed at the annual meeting
of the Chamber for the purpose of hon.
oring one officer of the organization.
Notices of the proposed amendment have
been sent to every member.
1t is proposed to alter paragraph Of
Section II, so as to make the treasurer
an ex officio member of the board of
directors as well as the president and
two vice presidents
The reason for the amendment arose
when 1t became known that A. Lisner,
treasurer of the Chamber, is one of the
directors who are ineligible for re-elec-
ton to the directorate. A unanimous
opinion was expressed among members
that Mr.. Lisner had proved so valuable
a treasurer that little thing like con-
stitutional provision should not operate
to prevent his continuance in that Of
fee and upon the board OF directors.
Consequently an amendment was framed
which is designed to remedy the law and
permit the election of Mr.. Lisner to the
treasurership and thereby continue him
upon the board. 1t Is believed that the
amendment will be carried without a d.
vision.
Eight members OF the Chamber whose
names had been proposed as candidates
for election to the board of direcsors
have withdrawn and declined to stand
for election, leaving only forty candi-
dates for the ten positions to be filled
at the election next week. Those who
have withdrawn are Byron s. Adams,
Walter Brownley, A. T. Hensey, William
D. Hoover, Samuel Ross. E. D. Shaw,
r. P Andrews, and w. s. Hoge.
Fifteen applicants for membership
have been posted on the bulletin board
and it is expected that they will all
be elected in time TO cast their votes at
the annual election. They are Harris
Brown, John c. Casary, Louis Costag-
gini, o. J. DeMoll, Peter ]. Mitchell, Ell
mer E. Rogers, II. Z. Sands, Charles
SchwartE, Edgar D. Shaw, Peter Taylor,
s. n. Widdup, James NJ. Cooper, H. L.
Deyo, George E. Garrett, and Richard
F. Barber.
The January meeting OF the directors
OF the Board of Trade will be held at
the board rooms tomorrow afternoon at
Ais o'clock. Two meetings for tomor-
row night have been called. The special
George Washington Memorial Hall Com
mittee, of which Granville NJ. Hunt is
chairman, will hold a meeting at 100 at
the Chamber. A special campaign meet
