the winds were brisk to high during
a good portion of the afternoon and
evening
Rainfall was coextensive with the
storm era. In the northern Rockies
and the upper Missouri valley, where
the temperatures ranged from freezing
down to u degrees above Zero the
precipitation was in the form of snow.
Some stations in the southeastern
quarter of the country reported heavy
rainfalls, but generally there were very
few stations that received amounts ex-
ceeding an inch.
BY Friday morning the storm center
will have moved across the meridian
of Alabama but the winds will prob
ably continue brisk part of Friday.
They will get around to the westerly
points Friday and we may expect a
cool change then 1t seems probable
that clearing weather will occur with
the shifting of the winds and the ris-
ing pressure. that is due to occur with

To Hold Mind Omen


The President asked Mr. McCombs S
to hold his mind open until at least
April 1. Mr.. McCombs said later to in
quirers he was so strongly urged by
the President that he felt it his duty
to give the question more serious and
careful consideration.
Mr.. McCombs declared the President
had determined to pick out diplomatic
representatives solely on basis of
ability rather than wealth
Mr.. McCombs said he thought that
even if he were to accept the ambas-
sadorial post he might not resign as
chairman of the democratic national
committee as he did not think he would
stay abroad for the full period of the
administration.
Close friends of Mr.. McCombs de-
clared that it was practically certain
that Mr.. McCombs would not accept a
diplomatic post.
Intimations have been received in
Washington that Richard Olney might
decline the post of ambassador to Great
Britain. Friends with whom Mr.. Olney
has been in communication on thought
that the veteran diplomat would not
accept the post because his law prac-
tice had become so extensive that he
did not feel il possible to abandon that
work now. No word had been received
at the White House early today from
Mr. Olney. kilograms have been dis
patched to him by many close friends of
President Wilson urging him to accept.

Washington. March Chairman
William f. Mccombs of the democratic
national committee told President Will
son today during an early conference
at the White House that he did not
care to accept the post of ambassador
10 France that he preferred to re-
main in private life and probably re-
tain the craftsmanship of the national
committee.
President Wilson urged Chairman
Mccombs not to definitely decline the
proffer until he had considered 1t fur
ther and McCombs agreed to do SO.
Mr. McCombs told the President that
his preference had been from the start
not to accept public office. The Pres
ident. however, had told him that he
was earnestly desirous of having him
accept foreign post inasmuch as he
had declined to become member of
the cabinet.
