SNOW AND W|NTRY
BLASTS RECALL THE
LAST INAUGURATION
Temperature, Six Degrees
Colder Than on March
4, 1909.

As a gentle reminder of the geld
weather of this day three years ago,
J. Frost envelopod Washington in a
blanket of snow during the night
and caused winds to whistle about
the city which made the temperature
@ degrees colder than on the day
President Taft was inaugurated.
Those in favor of changing the
date of the Inauguration were elated
to find conditions so uncomfortable.
The weather man says there Is no
cold wave TO be expected, and that there
will be a general though gradual reac-
tire Eastern section of the country until
the close of the week. A disturbance
that now covers the West and South
west will advance slowly eastward, and
cause a continuation of unsettled
weather, with rains in Southern and
ern States east of the Rocky mountains
during the next several days.
The temperature at / o'clock this
morning was 20 degrees above the
zero mark. On March 4, 1909, the
thermometer at the same hour regis
tire morning hours of the day in 1908
the temperature was between 3 and
s degrees higher than the tempera-
ture registered at this time today
At o'clock this morning the mer-
curry had risen to the 26 degree mark
at which point II remained until
after 8 o'clock. According to the rec
ords OF the Weather Bureau the TEN.
perature at this time last Inaugural
tion was about 80 degrees.
Latest reports from the Weather
Bureau declare the weather will re.
main unsettled throughout tonight
and Tuesday with an average tenn
perature Of about "a degrees.

M'CAIN CONDUCTS
PICTURE JOURNEY
THROUGH ANTILLES
Unstinted Applause Accord
ed to Lecturer by Large
Audience.

Nox Mccain, former newspaper man.
author, traveller, and lecturer last night
conducted large audience that filled
the Columbia on a picture pilgrim
age through the West Indies.
This portion of the Western Hemis-
phere, washed by the dangerous tides
OF what is known as the Spanish Main,
Is nlled with romance and historical In
terest. and the colored views and NOV
ing pictures OF the quaint Islands of the
Antilles won unstinted applause.
What probably were the most inter-
esting views ever seen in this city of
the Inflated island Of Martinique and
the city OF st. Pierre, which was swept
out of existence by the eruption of Mt.
Pelee In 1902, were thrown on the screen
by Mr. Mccain. Especially graphic was
his description of the Dead City OF the
spanish MAN,, where 5000 lives were
lost in the volcanic disaster. Only one
inhabitant of the city was spared, and
he was a petty criminal. His cell was
shown by the lecturer.
Passing the Barbados, Porto Rico,
Cuba, Jamaica. and the lesser members
of the group, Mr.. Mccain revealed the
tropical scenery, and graphically ex-
planned the simple minded people, and
the curious characters that make up the
population of the West Indies.
An added significance was given the
lecture by the frequent references to
scenes and events that transpired in
Cuba In 1898 when the American forces
invaded the island and routed Spanish
oppressors. The sunken Viscaya, Ad-
miral Cervera's flagship, was viewed as
It rests on the bottom of the sea near
Santiago, Striking views of the battle
ship Maine as she lay in the roadstead
of Havana harbor prior to February Is,
1898, were given as well as views of the
work of reclaiming her from the mud al
the bottom of the harbor.
A feature of the lecture was a reel
of moving pictures showing the maneu-
veTs of a British war feet comprising
the original Dreadnought, cruisers,
submarines, and a torpedo fotilla.
Next Sunday evening the American
Rockies will be set on canvas for Mr..
McCain's audience, and the final lecture

Half-Inch of Snow
In Capital Causes
Traffic Accidents

The half inch of snow that fell during
the night made the pavements and side
walks OF Washington unusually slippery
this morning, and was responsible for a
number of minor traffic accidents.
Bernhard Dosenbrock, eighty-two
years old, said to be the oldest cabinet
maker in Washington, fell on the snow
at Seventh street and Virginia avenue
southeast and fractured his left leg
Mr.. Dosenbrock left his home at sos
Fourth street southeast shortly before
o'clock. and was on his way to attend
to some business.
An ambulance was called and the
aged man was taken to the Casualty
Hospital Because of Mr. Dosenbrock's
advanced years the physicians fear the
fracture may prove serious.
Street car motormen experienced con-
siderable difficulty in controlling their
cars on the grades this morning because
of the slippery tracks. but no accidents
were reported. Automobiles skidded on
the snow-covered pavements, and be-
fore the snow began melting on
the asphalt, horses that were not rough
shod" had hard time in keeping on
their feet,

Munsey's Writer Says
Roosevelt Leads All

For constructive work and individ-
ual initiative. no President has ever
achieved results at all comparable to
those of Roosevelt's seven years in the
White House, writes Judson c. Well
iver in an article, entitled Catching
Up With Roosevelt" in The Munsey
for March. with his retirement the
constructive. progressive movement in
national affairs waned. and accomplish
ment has since been confined to the
execution of some of the policies to
which Roosevelt's initiative and energy
gave so much momentum.l
THE measures that Mr.. Roosevelt ac-
tually big-sticked into the statutes
while outraged conservatism cried loud
ly against tyranny and dictatorship
are now accepted as wise by the very
people who then protested. Proposals
that were denounced as ruinOus to
business ere now lauded as it's con-
servators."

Children and young people have been

because there seems an increasing num-
ber OF men and women who enjoy

of childhood have a part. 1t is true the
public has shown its appreciation
chiefly by their patronage of certain
pieces that are modern classics. like
