STORM OF WIND AND
SNOW RACES NORTH
ATLANTIC SEABOARD
Two Vessels Driven on TreaCh-
erouS Shoals of the New
Jersey Coast and Wireless
Calls for Aid Are Sent
rBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Dec. ga blizzard
born at midnight and growing rapidly
each hour, swept New York and the
north Atlantic seaboard today. BY
noon the storm had blanketed the city
with ten inches of snow, the wind had
risen to forty-mile gale and had
driven two vessels on the treacherous
sands of the New Jersey coast. With
tbs snow still falling furiously at mid
day, the city was fast becoming storm
bound. In the open places the snow
was drifted to a depth of many feet
The local weather bureau declared
that the storm would continue without
abatement for several hours at least
and that the wind would reach still
greater velocity. Indications that New
York would be buried under the heav-
lest Christmas snow in a generation.
The two vessels in distress were the
Turrialba of the United Fruit company
and the three-master John Hay, or
Philadelphia. The Turrialba, with
about sixty passengers aboard, wire
lessed for assistance and the revenue
cutter Seneca was sent to her rescue.
The John Hay, with her crew of six,
landed, was pounded by heavy sea of
Sandy Hook.
1he snow in the harbor was binding.
Several vessels were at quarantine
fearing to dock on account of the
storm. They were the Rotterdam,
from Rotterdam; the George Washing
ton, from Bremen; the SURNAME, from
Paramaribo, and the Catherine, OF
Port Antonio. Earlier in the day fer
~ boat and a tug collided in the upper
harbor. injuring four men, two Of them
fatally.
across the Hudson the railroad yards
were choSed with incoming passenger
trains, some of them hours late and
all Of them heavily laden.
Reports of snow-bound suburban
trains. of street traffic blocked and of
vessels storm-bound were received
from many eastern cities as the day
advanced.

that the rescuers had trouble in To-
eating the stranded ship and the Sem

forced draught, responded by wireless
that she would have to proceed eau
tiously. TOO thick to proceed now

Open Air Theater and this popular
place of amusement is always cool
and breezy. The crowds, which have
been fairly large all the season, have
increased considerably during the
past few days, and everybody seems
to be of the opinion that the show
which Manager Murree offers can
net be beaten for the small price of
admission which is charged. The or
chestra of five pieces furnishes ex-

the performance.
The vaudeville program changes

good, If not superior to any other
acts which have been put ON in the

is something extremely unusual for
