While the railroads, street car lines
and interurban systems are approach
ing ordinary conditions, the telegraph
and telephone companies will not be
able to restore their lines completely
for weeks and perhaps even II month.
Food Distribution Problem.
With the city under from two to six
feet of snow. the problem of dis
tributing the available food and coal
supplies in the city caused anxiety.
OF other food except green stuff, a
fairly large supply in on hand The
big milk companies yesterday made
sales only to those who wanted ii for
babies, and the greater part of the
demand was thus supplied.
Factories began shutting down
yesterday because of the shortage of

being held between William Bayard

the character of unofficial envoy, he is

that MIR. Hale's conferences We're not
necessarily Il furerunner Of recognition
