COUNTRY IS
IN GRIP OF
FRIGID
WAVE
City Has Coolest Day
So Far This
Winter.
SCORES HOMELESS
IN CHICAGO FIRE
Mercury Drops to 35
Below Zero in Duluth,
Minnesota.

Wintry weather gripped the country
today.
A biting northwest wind ushered in
what is the coolest day of the winter,
so far as Newark is concerned.
In Chicago the coldest day in two
years was accompanied by fire which
drove scores of men and women into
the streets, destroyed two buildings,
made three families homeless and
threatened to wipe out an entire block
on the south side. Frozen water-plugs
hampered the f1remen, and the fire was
started by an attempt to thaw out a
frozen water-pipe.
The mercury dropped way down in
Newark, registering only IL degrees
above zero at 10 o'clock. At 8 o'clock
the temperature was degree lower, al
t,Jugh at it was 12 degrees. Earlier
in the morning, at o'clock, 1t was 10.
AT noon it was degrees colder The
official temperature was then 13 de-
grees.
While Newark did not suffer quite
as much as Duluth, where the mercury
dropped to between 80 and 35 degrees
below zero, it was chilly enough to
prevent anyone bemoaning the tardt-
ness of real winter weather.
Other low temperatures reported are:
Eau Claire. Wis, %; La Crosse. rs;
Milwaukee and Madison, Wis, IS;
Green Bay, Wis, IL. and Chicago, s.

PRIVATE SIGNALS BARRED
Action Taken as Result of the
Titanic Disaster.
LFrom INC Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Nov. H.-As an aftermath
of the Titanic tragedy, the Department
of Commerce and Labor has issued an
order to American steamship companie,
forbiddlng the use of private signal lights
at sea. similar order has been issued
by the British government
1t has long been the practice OF the
steamship companies 10 equip their ships
with signal lights of various colors with
which to hail passing ships of the same
company. The investigation Of the IT,
tanic disaster brought out the fact that
officers of at least one steamer saw the
distress signals of the sinking ship but
failed 10 go to the rescue, thinking. ac-
cording to the testimony of the officers
that they were private signals. To pre-.
the Bureau of Navigation Of the Depart.
ment of Commerce and Labor issued 'i,s
order. Only rockets or Roman candles
are placed under the departmental ban
Headlights or torches may still be used.
1t is expected that this, with other re.
forms. will be considered by the Inter.
national Maritime Conference, which was
proposed after the Titanic disaster, and
the rule made uniform for all maritime
nations. The conference is now being
discussed by the governments interested,
including the United States. Il has been
practically agreed that It will be held in
London.
