New York, Dec 2HHe1d hard and fast by tle shifting sands of the Jer- sey coast, with a whirling snow storm making it impossible to see a single ships length in either direction, the crack steamer Turria1ba, flagship of the fleet Of the United Fruit Co.,, was in a dangerous predicament, today. On of more than 100. High seas are run ming and an offshore wind and dang erous cross currents added to the diff commander of the craft
 He was in communication with his owners and they insisted there was really no danger. The revenue cut ter Seneca and two of the big wreck ing tugs of the Merritt Chapman n Wrecking Company were expected to be alongside by nightfaH at the lat est. But there was grave question of the exact position of the steamer
 Captain Lindsay said he was on Ludlam Beach. The Barnegat life savers said that they did not think this and the Atlantic City coast guards said they believed the Turria1ba was hard and fast the a point still further inshore. The At lantic City Hfesavers, in their big power craft, went out at o'clock and had not returned at noon It was be- lieved they had reached the imperiIled steamer. Captain Lindsay reported by wire IeSfS that he was Tn touch with the rev. enue cutter and wreckers and that they "were approaching He said that there was no real danger and that when help arrived the vessel would be hauled off.
 Atlantic. City, Dec 24-Losing his course in b1inding storm, the wheelsman of the United Fruit Steam CT TurriaIba, ran the nose of the yes sel on the shoals off the harbor light, The sea was running high and the vessel was soon hard and fast on the sands. She is in dangerously ex- posed position and the life savers from two of the stations are standing by. New York by the Merritt-Chapman Co.
 The steamer is owned by the United Fruit Co. She was enroute to New York from Costa Rica and is report ed to have many passengers on board. Captain Lindsay, it was underst ood, was running at top speed in time to land his pa passengers by Christmas.
 The weather was thick during the night and the snow began to fall early today The position of the vessel is about TO miles south Of the Ambrose Channel 1ightship and almost east of Barnegat light. The wind was blow ing a gale when the vessels nose made it impossible for the wheelsman to pick up the shore light. It is be- lived that Captain Lindsay thought he was at least 10 miles further out than he actually was.
 The steamer struck the bar SQuarely bow on and was driven on to almost amidships. She was free aft but al- though her engines were raced back ward they failed to budge her. The 1ifesavers are standing by, ready to take off the passengers should it be necessary before the wrecking tugs ar. rive.

 Mellen seemed interested in the pro- gress of the Hawthorne case Q nd watched closely the examination of witnesses until his own case was call ed.
 MelIen was plainly very nervous and during the proceedings uvviddied his hat and gloves and shifted from one foot to the other. AS soon as bail had been fixed, MelIen returned to the Grand Central Station, while Chamberlin went back to the Wa1dor-f where he has been staying for several weeks.
 Just before Judge Hough arrived, Frank L. Crawford, attorney for Chan'berlin, said that a grave mistake had been made by the government.

Mel len welcome this investigation and u-ill absolutely disprove that any crime v ag committed said the lawyer We will show that the reason for dtscon- tinufng the extension of the Ora ulz Trunk connection to Providence vas the condition of the money market The financing of the extension proved absolutely impossible because Of the ruinolls rate demanded for the money needed. We will show fldis at the trial and will prove that there never was even a plan for violation Of the law"

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 2HAs a prelimin ry to Cflristmes, one of the heaviest snow falls of recent years struck the east shortly after midnight and by the mid- dle of the morning more than six inches had piled up, interfering with suburban traffic and tfeing up surface and elevated railway transportation. There was a strong shifting wind which is drifting the snow in exposed localities and which added to the woes Of the conmu ters and pedestrians who were forced to face the wind
 The storm was reported general all along the coast and was responsible for a possible shipwreck. United Fruit er which poked her nose into the sands off Barnegot in the most ex- posed portion of the southern Jersey coast The storm did not interfere with through railroad transportation as= it was general only as far north as Poughkee pSie- It was showing, how ever as far south Norfolk
 The storm was Godsend to the poor as the street cleaning department needed all the hands it could get to clear the streets. and the opportunity to earn a few dollars was taken ad- vantage of by thousands
 Where the snow was cleared away the pavements were covered with ice. The result was that many fell. Driv-

NEW YORK BOAT
 IS LONG OVERDUE
Steamer NaugaauCk, Leaving M Midnight, Has Not D0cked
 In Metropolis

Bridgeport officials of tbe New England. Navigation company wore worried looks today. The steamer Naugatuck, which left here last mid night with a big Christmas cargo and large passenger list, hadn't docked in New York up to noon and no word had been received from her. The Naugatuck is scheduled to dock in New York at 5 a. m.
 Telephonic communication with New York offices failed to disclose any trace of the steamer. Officials do not anticipate any serious trouble, but believe the steamer is making but little headway because of the storm. The delay in landing the Christmas cargo is giving steamboat men some worry.
 The Port Jefferson steamer did not run today. Word was received at the offices of the Bridgeport Towing com pany today that the steamer would not attempt the trip across the Sound un- til the weather cleared.
 According to men on the water front Sound navigation was a serious matter since the storm began. The snow came down in binding clouds and a heavy sea was running. No ac- cidents of any sort had been reported to crafts in local waters up to noon today.

It was his first real attempt to make a regular win ter month out of Dece1n Der and this noon found the well known Mother Earth garbed in her popular mantle of snowy white.

Young MT. Boreas was doing rushing business at the old stand. In a swirling driving cloud, regular snowstorrn was in full operation.
 Folks who went to bed last night with thoughts of ballny Easter wealth CT for Christmas woke up today in a mad search for u1sters, arctics, snow shovels, and other condiments of the season. Youngsters saw prospects of using their new sleds, and folks who stayed indoors sang the praises of The Beautiful Snow Those who had to buck the snow, as it was driv- en along by a brisk north wind, nut tered something that sounded like t@DaInstuffinthefa eface."

HAVE JOHNSON AND COWLES DISAGREED?
Committee on Rumors Have Been Working Overtime
 For Past Week

Around Charity, Headquarters and in places where politicians are wont to congregate the very atmosphere is surchargsd with rumors and contradic- tion of rumors regarding a marked cooIness which has arisen between Superintendenst Fred Johnson of the Charities Department and Merle Cowles of the Lakeview Home.
 Although the reports are somewhat belied by later apparently cordial re- lationship between the two heads when they met yesterday at police Headquarters, yet it has been report ed from reliable sources that a wordy battle between the two ensued after a refusal to honor certain acquisitions made by Supt Cow1es upon the phar- maceutfca1 bureau a week ago, and that arising from this dispute charges said to involve insubordination were laid before executive meeting of the Charity Board which was convened specially on the night of Friday, Dec. 20.
 :. Those involved while not absolutely issuing a denial that strained rela- tions existed, denied that specific charges had as yet been preferred, and declined to discuss the situation at greater length
