Northeast are running from three to
five hours late. as result Of the storm
that has swept the United States from
coast to coast.
Dispatches to the Superintendent of
the Railway Mail Service today from
the Northwest give details Of storm and
suffering that are uneaqualed in days of
modern travel. Trains from the eastern
watershed Of the Rockies, bound for the
Pacific coast. are from two to three
days late. The mail due at Seattle on
the 10th of this month will not arrive
until tomorrow at the earliest
Throughout the length and breadth
of the land. and on both coasts busi-
ness Is more or less paralized through
the unprecedented weather condi-
dittons. Never before in the knowl-
edge OF Washington officials has the
weather been SO bad generally
throughout the United States There
nave been local storms of great mag
nitude. but this is the first time In
memory that severe weather has pre-
vailed for more than a week, from
coast to coast. Blizzards. snow
storms, gales. and frigid tempera-

Hoboes Trade Legs;
Court Is Puzzled

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. l2.-John sIo-
cum, of Boston. was arrested as a vag-
rant and locked up. When he went to
bed. he unstrapped his wooden leg and
stood II in a corner of his cell. Soon
aftcrward Harry De Vile was put in
the. same cell with Slocum. He, too,
took on q wooden leg and stood It in q
corner. ,t'Y
De Vile was the first to awake this
morning. He put on a leg and told
Slocum he'd better stir himself. When
6locum put on his leg he found II an
inch too long. De Vile tried his leg
then and found It an inch too short.
It was a good deal better leg, though,
and he refused to give It up when Slo-
cum demanded Il. @
The men were still wrangiing bitterly
when they were arraigned in court. The
magistrate tried to arhitrate the quar-
rel. but ne found himself blocked a
every turn. until Slocum described with
loving minuteness a knot in the leg hs
claimed as his The knot was found
and Slocum exulted 80 openly that
policeman barely saved De Vile from
facing a charge of assault.

Hundreds Make Absence
OF Law Excuse for Not
Sweeping Off Snow

There is no law'in the District which
requires property owners or occupants
OF dwellings or stores to clean the snow
off the sidewalks in front of their
places. and there are good many in
washington who do not clean the snow
on Just because there is no such law.
This was clearly evidenced by the
large number Of persons living in all
parts Of the District who called up
