Associated Press.

Associated Press.
New York. March Under the
third blanket of snow in as many
weeks. New York and vicinity Is to-
day suffering one of the worst storms
in history.
Five persons have been killed, SO
far as reported. railroad traffic is
tied up, wire communication Grip
pied and the streets and sidewalks
are covered with an Icy coating.
Few trains are leaving the city
today over the main trunk lines for
the west and south. Street car and
elevated traffic is delayed; in some
instances temporarily suspended.
Not since the blizzard of 1888 has
4 storm caused so much suffering. A
milk famine is feared today. Nine
and one-half inches OF snow fell yes
terday, and when it stopped gale
set in and the temperature dropped
below freezing.
The storm put nearly every wire
less station in this vicinity out of
commission after G O'Clock last night.
making 1t impossible to communicate
with vessels at sea.
Trenton, Newark, Jersey City and
Hoboken were in darkness last night
as n result of feeding wires breaking.
The storm held up the liners in outer
harbors all night.
Many commuters failed to reach
the. city today, owing to the crippled
train service. Fire alarm systems in
the outlying districts were delnoral-
ned. The Western Union Telegfaph
Company reports only five OF its out
of-town wires up. The worst of the
storm is between here and Albany,
according to wire officials. The fl
nancial districts are shut off almost
entirely from the outside world.
Snow began falling again today.
More than ten thousand men have at
tackled the snow to keep traffic open
in few of the principal business
streets.
Between 8 and II inches of snow
covered the ground at noon was still
falling In New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Four deaths are reported in this
city, attributable to the storm. No
trains have arrived from New York
since last night. This morning no
attempt was made to send trains out
of that city. Two deaths were re-
ported from Scranton. Nearly fifteen
hundred persons were mlrooned all
night In the Sunday tabernacle at
Scranton, unable to get home.
Practically all the coal mines in
the anthracite district are closed.

GREAT ACTIVITY
IN LONDON CIRCLES
Secretaries Postpone Their Weekend
Trips to the Country in Order to
Take Up the Ulster
Situation.

London, March 2l.--The utmost ac-
tivity prevails at the war office and 9th.
er departments affected by the situation
in Ulster. All the secretaries OF state
cancelled their usual weekend trips to
the country. Colonel John Seely, seere-
tary of state for war, and Winston
Churchhill, first lord of the admiralty
conferred at the war Office and subse-
quently a statement was issued confirm
ing the report OF the resignation of some
army officers serving in Ireland and stat
ing that these cases will be dealt with
by General Sir Arthur Paget, comman-
der.in-ehief for Ireland.
In the meantime, according to the
statement, the officers concerned are per-
forming their duties, which naturally in
cluded obedience TO orders.
Rumors also were in circulation that
other officers in the army serving in
south Ireland will resign their commits
sioners if ordered to Ulster.
In the meantime Sir Arthur continues
to dispose of the troops to safeguard
government property and maintain law
and order. In order to prevent an out
burst. the police in Ireland to-day did
not take any steps to enforce the Nun
license act in cases where the members
Of the Ulster volunteers are seen carry
ing rifles, in camp or elsewhere.
The greater danger is believed to lie
in the possibility of the grange and Ma
workmen coming to blows. as
this might start general conflict. King
George is keeping in close touch with
the situation.

STATE CLAIMS LAND.
Says Pavilion Hotel veranda Projects
Over Line at Montpelier.

In order to determine the location Of
the state line between the capitol
grounds and the Pavilion hotel at
Montpelier a suit of eiectment has been
brought in county court by the State
lof Vermont against Thomas j. Heaphy,
proprietor of the Pavilion hotel. through
States Attorney J. Ward Carver, rep
resenting the state. The action is civil
with nominal damages of 81 900 claimed,
the state asking for peaceful posses
sion OF the property and damages.
The state line as run by Engineer
E, Fl. Dewart takes off a slice of the
Pavilion yeranda on the west side and
the driveway which runs past the ho-
tel along the common. The common
on the west side of the hotel is owned
by the state but in years past the state
has got around 'haying' on the lot by
letting the owners Of the hotel cut the
grass. The bandstand is also located
on this particular section which is cut
side the state house fence. The land
was leeded to the state by man named
Davis. one OF the early settlers to be
used for state purposes, the deed bear
ing the date OF 1903.
The stone fence maintained by the
state runs only as FAR as the veranda.
A part of the hotel land, according to
the states survey, jogs into the common
around the end of which the state had
erected fence.

AGAINST SEPARATION.
Requests That New Haven Road Be
Left in Control of B. e. M.

Brattleboro, March 2l-The Brattle-
boro Board % Trade held its annual
banquet at Brooks house last evening.
Harry +. Atwood field secretary of the
National Chamber Of Commerce. was
principal speaker. He explained how
business men by team work could pro-
mote enterprises
c. G. Fits prophesied electrifcation of
all the New England railroads in the
near future
A resolution introduced by c. r. Cros-
by protesting against the separation of
the New Haven and Boston e. Maine
system, was enthusiastically adopted. 1t
was as follows:
Whereas, for many years both before
and after the passage of the Sherman
act large portion OF New England
relied for its transportation facilities
largely upon the New or, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, and eventually this
section OF the Connecticut Valley came
within the territory served by that sys-
tenn, and
Whereas, the people Of this section of
the Connecticut valley are generally of
the opinion that. under home manage
ment, the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad is capable of giving
efficient service.
Resolved, That the Brattleboro Board
of Trade respectfully requests the attor
ney general of the United States not
to press for the dismemberment of
property which has been created at
great effort and expense, but to permit
the interstate commerce commission to
deal with the situation and not to fur
ther handicap this section of the coun-
try by radical organic changes in the
New Haven system. which is so essen
tial to the prosperity Of New England.
