NEW YORK, January AT least
three deaths and approximately $5Oo.Ooo
property damage resulted from last
nights eighty-mile gale which swept
New York and vicinity. This morning
at 3 o'clock the wind had dropped to
sixty miles an hour. but the mercury
suffered keenly.
The deaths reported were:
Mrs. Mary Kline. Brooklyn, died of in
juries after having been blown under a
street car.

The Amerika left her pier few min
utes after o'clock this morning and
began nosing her way down the harbor
in sixty-mile gale. Owing to last night 8
violent wind and it's continuation today
the tide was very low-nearly three feet
below normal-and because of this the big
vessel stuck in the mud. Sheltered as
she was in the lee of Staten Island and
the Brooklyn shore, her condition was not
serious, and her commander hoped to
float her with the rising tide late today.
Most Severe Storm in Years.
Belated returns of the damage done by
the storm of yesterday and last night,
reaching the telegraph companies here to-
day, revealed that clean sweep of the
wires had been made from Jacksonville to
Maine and that the storm was the most
severe of recent years. Thousands of
men are at work today repairing the dam
age.
Perhaps the greatest damage to wires
was done at East Buffalo, where the tail
of the storm leveled telegraph poles for a
mile. A sixty-mile gale ragged there stimuli
taneously with the passage OF the main
storm off to sea from the New England
coast.
Washington Wires Broken.
High winds prevailed today along the
northern Atlantic seaboard, but the wire
trouble. it was reported, was slight COM
pared with that of yesterday. The most
serious instance today was the break
near Philadelphia of more than sixty
through wires between New York and
Washington.
Daybreak today found the coast from
Florida to Maine dotted with camps OF
linemen, many of whom had worked all
night in the darkness.

COUNTY is AFTER
FUNDS DUE FROM
AUTOMOBILE FINES

John A. Garrett, attorney to the board
of county commissioners of Montgomery
county, Md, acting on instructions given
him at the last meeting of the board. is
endeavoring to learn the names and ad-
dresses of all automobilists who have
been arrested by constables and deputy
sheriffs of Montgomery county within the
past two or three years on charges OF
violations of the state automobile laws.
Mr.. Garrett is also instructed to ascer-
tain the amount of the fine assessed or
the collateral required in each case, with
the object of finding out what has be-
come of such fines and collateral.
Under the law certain proportion of
all fines and collateral forfeited in motor
vehicle cases as well as a percentage or
automobile license fees, is supposed to be
paid to the county for the beneht OF the
road funds. In the last three years, the
commissioners declare, the county has re-
ceiyed only 5000, this representing
Montgomery county's share of fines, for
feited collateral, motor vehicle license
fees and all, or about $1,000 per year.
This amount, the board believes, is not
the county's rightful share, and Attorney
Garrett is directed to find out just what
the constables, deputy sheriffs, justices of
the peace and other officials have been do
ing with the large sums levied as toll on
alleged violators of the automobile laws.
The boards attorney is also 1nvest1gat-
ing the extent of the JurlSdlctlOn OF tne
commissioners over constaples, ana the
legal right of justices of the peace to try
automobile cases, the legality of roadside
courts such as have been held just over

1T is obviously unjust that within
the same jurisdiction a man on one
street should pay one price for gas and
a man On another street pay another
price for gas. and this could have been
avoided had the two companies proper
ly co-operated.
1.-The Washington company and the
Georgetown company. whose interests
should be mutual. and who together con-
troll the entire and sole gas privileges or
the District of Columbia. should through
conjunctive and amicable operation sup
ply gas to the people of the District OF
Columbia at a low and uniform rate and
with efficient service, and at the same
time be ever conscious of the rights or
and their duty toward their stockholders.
If they cannot do these things acting to-
gether. and it Seems as If they cannot.
then 1 say separate them and give the
people the benefit of the competition and
the Washington company's stockholders
the benefit of their money in the form OF
an extra dividend. Ii is for This pur-
