UNTERMYER ON THE GRILL
Questioned Sharply in Public
Service HEARING.

Albany, Jan. 9. - Samuel Untermyer. OF
New York, was questioned to-day as
witness in a proceeding before the Public
Service Commission, I'd District, as TO
whether he had asserted in a recent inter
view that the commission was only an
adjunct Of the New York Central Rail-
road"
Mr. Cntermyer appeared as counsel TO

tions for authority 10 transfer the control

MT Intermyer. who had been called by
Gilbert n. Harris, Tce-president Of the New
York Central. objected 10 the question.
Are you afraid TO answer" asked Mr.
Harris.
! am not" replied Mr. Untermyer.
Was the statement simply deliberate
Intentional and wilful slander?" asked Mr.
Harris.
Mr. Untermyer resented the attempt to
question him, and said IL was most inn
proper and demanded that II be stopped.
Mr Harris insisted. asserting that when
man went about the country defaming
70 be called to book. This brought from
Mr. Cntermyer an attack on Mr., Harris and
the practices Of the company.
Chairman Stevens put the question asked
by Mr.. Harris to the witness and Mr.. Tn
termyer replied that the question had moth
ing 10 do with the commission, and that
they had no right 10 permit such an inquiry.
Chairman Stevens finally excluded the ques-
ton saving that the statement attributed
10 Mr.. InteTmyer was TOO inconsequentiaI
for tho commission to discuss. To the rul-
ing of the chairman. Mr. Harris said:
when ! saw that slanderous statement
IN a SUNDAY paper attributed 10 Mr.. Inter

opportunity 70 admit IL. II he wanted 10,
. or Justify 70 If he could. and put him on
the stand for that purpose. He will neither
admit nor justify II. and l am through with
him on that point"

CHILL WINDS HARRY POOR
City, Churches and Charities Be.
gin Their Relief Work Anew.

Again a quick change from comparatively
mild weather TO a freezing temperature,
whose severity was heightened by the high
winds stirred charitable organizations,
churches and municipal authorities to extra
effort to provide shelter for the homeless
poor. The Logging houses and rooms pro-
vided by city and private charity were
filed to overfowing, and scores Of men
were gathered from the streets and parks
last night and taken TO the various police
stations, where they were safe from the
biting gales that swept the city.
The effects Of the sudden downward shoot
OF the temperature began to make them
selves evident early yesterday The milo
weather of the preceding afternoon and
night had left the streets sloppy with melt
ing snow, but by the time heavy traffic
began Yesterday the small lakes and rivers
had been transformed into ice. Not only
city traffic but that of the railroads was
hampered, and in some cases stopped for
several hours Some Of the large milk com
panies were unable TO get their regular
supplies until late in the day. and the
bulletin board in the Grand Central bore
the sign: Severe weather mas oeiaSeu
trains"
wandering about the city the vestrymen OF
Trinity Church converted the old hospital
building in Varick street into a temporary
lodging house. Although arrangements were
made TO care for about two hundred men
with cots and blankets, the place sheltered
many more than that number last night.
and tonight probably as many will take
refuge there. At the municipal lodging
houses, the Bowery Mission and the Sal
walton Army hotel thousands Of men were
cared for last night, and the number was
limited only by the capacity Of the lnstitu-
tions
Weather predictions last night gave no
promise Of milder temperature and the
problem OF caring for the homeless has be-
come serious II conditions are not more
favorable within another twenty-four hours
the various charitable organizations will
be compelled to give their whole attention
to the matter OF providing sleeping places
for those without homes

The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region Of the

lame that to stoop is agony. No use
to rub or apply plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You cannot
reach the cause. Willmar residents
would do we'll to profit by the follow
ing example.

northwest Of Olivia, met with a SER

day. He drove up to the Farmers
elevator with a load Of wheat in a
triple box, and in getting down off
the load he slipped striking his side
against the hub Of the wheel in such
a way as to fracture two ribs. He
was taken to the Grand Central Ho-
tel as soon as possible and DR.. Hy-
mer reduced the fracture and gave
what relief was possible. Mrs. The
get came into town as soon as she
heard of the accident and remained
with her husband to nurse him until
yesterday when he was taken to his
home. He left town feeling much i'm
proved. About a week before Mr..

Olivia Times: The eight year old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A.
Johnson Of Winfield suffered a sec

and was taken on Wednesday to
Willmar for hospital treatment. Her
condition was much improved the

that she will be in favorable condi-

formed. She had her first attack
last April but under the treatment of
DR.. Mesker she improved without re-
sorting to an operation but this Sec
ond attack makes it necessary for
an operation at this time. DR.. Mes
