Winter Conditions Tonight and
Tomorrow in Washington.
Flood Warnings Issued.

Ice-booted winter will be kicking the
hounds Of spring around for twenty
four more hours at least, according to q
heartless individual up at Prof. Willis
Moores place, where the weather is
made. Makes no difference If spring Is
here, they keep on kickin' the tenpera-
ture down, so that tonight will see less
than 30 degrees in the thermometer. A
genuine freeze is. promised. and tomor-
row will be only a little bit better.
Clouds will hide this tired earth from the
smiling sun and only slightly warmer
day is promised.
According to the record. this city Is ten
degrees or more below the proper batting
average Of the mercury at this season of
the year.
I'VE had two good warm days at the
beginning Of the week. said the fore
caster today. "and that brought the sea-
sonal average up to near it's proper place.
But we lost all that when the cold
weather set in. We ought to be in the
forties.''
This same forecaster had little hope to
hold out to fellow who has but a
bushel of furnace coal and hopes to make
it last until the coal shovel may be cast
aside for the season. There is snow and
cold weather all over the country, with
just faint suspicion Of spring in one or
two places. All this cod weather seenAs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. March 22-Fred
Newsome, alias Fred Price. the man who
claims to have sent the bomb which ex-
ploded in the home Of Judge Rosalsky. in
New York, evidently is either demented
or a notoriety seeker. Such is the opinion
of the police here today. after another
long siege Of questioning. during which
further conflicting statements were found
N Newsome's story.
Nevertheless. the prisoners familiarity
with the Brandt case gives color Of
credibility to his story. He claims to
have known Brandt when the former
Schiff valet was steward on Norwegian
ship which sailed from port in Chile
His friendship for the young man began
then he said and was further cemented
by aid given him (Newsome) when out OF
work in New York.
Newsome will be held here on charges
Of petty thefts which he has confessed
after turning over to the police the stolen
property. - A-.-...

The failure of the peace negotiations
between the rebels and the Paraguayan
government was reported March 49, when

be very critical, as the rebels there laid
siege to the city, surrounding it on the
land side. while rebel gunboats patrolled
the river. preventing the arrival of food
stuffs from Argentina and causing great
distress among the inhabitants.

NO OUTSIDE WORKERS

No StrikebreakerS.

NEW YORK. March 22.-While the an
thracite operators regard a suspension of
work in the coal region April as almost
certainty, they say that they are MAX
Ing no move toward engaging strike
breakers to go to the coal fields. The
railroad operators in a statement say the
reports that the mining companies are
now engaging outside labor against a pos
sible suspension or strike have no foun-
dation in fact as far as the principal op-
orators are concerned.
Yards Bare of Coal.
The railroad operators further say no
such action is Contemplated, declaring
that the strikebreakers would not serve
their purpose and would only create bad
feeling in the region. Retail dealers as
sert that their yards are bare OF coal and
that they are having difficulty in obtain
ing it.
A meeting of the railroad operators. II
is understood, will be held here probably
next week to consider the situation. bu
whether they will submit q counterpropo
sltion to the miners is problematical

Temporary Shutdown Certain.

The subcommittee is authorized merely
10 draw up tentative compromise which
would have to be referred to the full con-
ference Of sixty-four members and again
referred by the miners to their union for
referendum vote The fact that only
nine days remain before the expiration of
the present wage agreement makes it i'm
possible to avoid at least a temporary
shutdown.
All the demands of the 200. 600 miners in
the bituminous cold fields Of western
pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
for 10 per cent increase in pay and
shorter working hours were voted down
by the operators yesterday.
The whole dispute was referred to the
subcommittee as a final effort to pre-
vent prolonged shutdown of the mines
after April / and possibly a strike
Both operators and miners declared,
after. the union demands had been re-
fused, that the coal situation throughout
the country was grave. Intimations We're
made by John P. White, president of the
the negotiations here might continue un-
til next Monday, when the unions policy
committee will convene.
More Than 100000 Miners Affected.
Besides the 100000 miners in the four
states directly concerned 100000 bitumi-
nous coal miners in other states are de-
pendent upon the present deliberations
for basis OF making their wage scale.
and in addition the policy committee will
consider the wage demands of about 17O-
COO anthracite miners. 1t was pointed
out by Mr.. White that the wages Of more
than 100000 union miners after April
were In dispute, and that the coal output
of the country other than that mined by
non union men was involved.
News from New York that the an
thracite operators and miners might re-
consider their differences. however, had
the effect of arouaing confidence among
union officials that the anthracite situa-
ton might be eliminated.
Early Settlement Doubtful.
The operators said they did not look
upon the reference Of the dispute to a
subcommittee: as holding out any pros
pect OF immediate settlement
I'VE have not much encouragement
when the operators are on record as re-
fusing the demands and the miners are
saying they will not YIELD" said E. A..
Cole of Columbus. Ohio. representing the
operators. Reports had been received
by Mr.. Cole that the bituminous coal al
ready mined would last a month after
April 1.
Thomas L. Lewis former president Of
the union, said the present critical sit
uation was merely a repetition of what
took place every two years when a wage
scale was to be drawn up. He thought
a settlement would be reached within a
few DAYS.
