Practically no trains We're run
through Newark last night. Traffic
on all roads were discontinued early
in the evening, when telegraph poles
and wires fell across the tracks. maxi

Gus. Armies of men worked last
night clearing the tracks, and today
the trains ran regularly, but subject
to delays of about an half hour
About two hundred Newarkers
spent last night in Central railroad
cars at Jersey City. The storm so
tied up traffic on the Central road
that all Newark and Long Branch
trains were held up from O'Clock
yesterday afternoon until ! O'Clock
this morning.
Almost a thousand men, women
and children crowded the Central
station in Jersey City. Two train
loads of Newarkers were placed on
a siding and allowed to remain all
night.
The cars were cold and many small
children nestled close to their motn-
ers crying because they were cold
AS there was no possible hotel ac-
commodations all were forced TO
spend the night in the cars.
About 1000 passengers from Eliza
beth, Perth Amboy and points on the
Long Branch division did not get a
train until $3.50 o'clock this morning.
They had waited from early yester-
day afternoon.
All communication by rail along
the Central road from Newark to
Elizabethport was blocked until to-
day. Commuters for this city were
forced to go to New York and thence
to Newark.
Many disputes arise as the conduc-
tors wanted to collect double fares.
The passengers refused to pay and
in several instances fights occurred.
Many bound for Newark stated
that they viii bring the matter OF
the Central railroad to the Public
Utility Commission. The restaurant
in Jersey City was overcrowded.
When it was learned that the mob
would be forced to remain all night
prices scared higher with time. One
man paid seventy-five cents for a
half pint of whiskey, while a woman
was forced to pay $1.25 for hot roast
beef sandwich and a cup of coffee.

ELECTROCUTED
BY LIVE WIRE

on Central Avenue-Teacher
a Mute Witness.

Louis F'errari, cook in the WASH
ington restaurant, was killed by a
live electric light wire that had fallen
to the sidewalk at Central avenue
and Burnett street, yesterday after
noon. He was killed almost instant
ly. A minute before he met his death
he had waved his hand to Adrian
Copt, head chef at the Washington,
as the latter stood in a window of his
home at 119 Central avenue.
A number of other persons We're
shocked by the wire that killed Fer
rari. Just a minute before he met
his death Brother Noah, member of
the Christian Brothers and attached
to the faculty that conducts st. Pat
ricks School for Boys, stepped on the
deadly piece of metal The shock
hurled the teacher into snow bank
where he lay stunned.
Ferrari did not see the incident ap-
parently and walked along with his
head bowed before the storm. Brother
Noah saw Ferrari and tried to cry
out a warning, but was unable to do
so. The next moment Ferrari step
ped on the dangling wire. He gave a
gerry of pain and then stopped and
grasped the wire. The deadly shock
traversed the mans body and he top
pied dead in the snow near the help-
less witness.
Several other persons meantime
reached the scene. They found Fer
rari lifeless. They then assisted
Brother Noah to his feet. He was
taken to ST Michael's Hospital. The
teacher was on his way to the hos
pital at the time he stepped on the
wire. He was going to the institution
for the purpose of visiting Brother
Edwin, another member of the Chris
tian Brothers, who is at the hospital
suffering from a broken arm.
Ferrari's body was taken to Null
Inns morgue, in Washington street.

earlier in the afternoon were Cath
crime Schwindt, eight years old, of l22
Central avenue, and James Moore,

little girl is suffering from the shock
and is under the care of a physician.
The boy was not as badly injured.

nue.. and John F. Sinnott, jr., pro-
vision dealer at 116 Central avenue,
received slight shocks while walking
on the wet pavement near the wire.
A woman whose name could not be
learned was also shocked.
A dog that touched the wire stood
rigid for a moment as the electricity
went through him, and then as the
current momentarily stopped ran
bowling down the street.

Weather Bureau Warns Ships
Not to Put Ont in Storm

NEW YORK, March For the first
time in several years the weather bu-
reau issued a storm warning yester-
day advising the captains of all yes
sells not to put to sea because north
west gale was expected. At that time
the wind was blowing from the north
east at q velocity Of seventy-two miles
an hour, and later veered to the north
west with an increased velocity of
eighty miles. The harbor was full of
ice, which extended below Governors
Island and filled the slips along the
North and East rivers, but did not
delay the Staten Island ferryboats,
which were running on the half-hour
Sunday schedule
owing to the heavy SNOW the in
bound coastwise ships had to anchor
off Sandy Hook, and the ocean steam
ers were held up off Fire Island by
the storm. No accidents were re-
ported.
The Atlantic Transport liner Mime

HAVOC WROUGHT BY.
STORM IN ALL THE
SUBURBAN TOWNS
Buildings Blown Over, Wires
Down and Trolley Service
Crippled.

Suburban towns suffered even more
than the city. In the isolated places,
where the gale had full sway, wires
went down, great trees fell, impepe-
trable drifts arose and traffic stopped
entirely. Provisions were not deliv-
cred and in a number of PLACES
famine seemed imminent. After
half-past 4 in the afternoon yester-
day the trolleys in some of the towns
ceased to buck the storm. The
churches were deserted, and in some
places the services were given up.
In Irvington the trolley car service
was crippled. A house was blown
down at Grove street and Seven
teenth avenue. Telegraph wires were
down everywhere. In Hilton condi-
tionS were even worse
In South Orange a yenturesome
motorman succeeded in guiding his
car as far as Valley street, where il
struck pond two feet deep. The
water was TOO much for the car ana
1t stopped dead Here. too,z the trolley
wires, trees and poles were down, All
the poles through the Laekawanna
fell through the night and completely
blocked the road
The chiefs of police in the several
towns discovered quite early In the
course of the storm that the falling
wires were menacing the lives of pc
destrians and requested the Public
Service Company to shut off it's
power. This not only enevloped the
streets in darkness, but many of the
houses as well. Lanterns were strung
along the limbs of trees in the streets
and candles were used to light up
homes.
In Bloomfield the roof of a small
factory building was blown off and
into the Norris canal. The cross
town cars were not operated until a
late hour this morning. The windows
in numwber of stores were burst
in by the wind and traffic generally
was paralyzed.
Conditions were especially bad i'm
the towns west and north of Mont
clair. Verona and Caldwell, Cedar
Grove, Essex Fells and Roseland
were entirely cut off from communi-
cation and We're facing q famine. The
Bloomfield avenue cars ceased opera
tlons over the hill early in the eve
nlngs, and were unable to start up
this morning. Telephone communion
ton was entirely cut off, and the ex-
act condition of the people will not
be known until late this afternoon.
Montclair suffered greatly. Cars
were not run on time or not at all.
The Valley road trolley system went
out of business in the early after,
noon and did not start up this morn
ing. Half empty class rooms greeted
teachers in the public schools when
they met this morning.
The conditions prevailing in the
West Hudson towns was about the
same as the rest. The turnpike troll
ley system was paralyzed four cars
being stalled on the turnpike all
night and far into the morning. In
West Hudson, Arlington, Kearny and
Harrison the electric wires were down
and the towns were I'm darkness

French Society to Sue

NEW YORK. March 2.-The French
Drama Society, of New York. an
nounced today that it would bring
suit against the city for damages be-
cause the police last night prevented
"a dress rehearsal of a play adapted
by Marquis Cusani Confalonieri,
Italian ambassador to the United
States, at the GarricK Theatre. The
police acted on law forbidding
theatrical performances on Sunday.
The members of the society say that
they will demand that this law,
which stopped their dress rehearsal,
be enforced against all vaudeville
theatres

Gale and Snow Carries Down
Wires and Causes Many
False Alarms,

The ten-inch slush, freezing toward
nightfall. which marked the begin
ming of spring" on the calendar yes
terday, continuing in the form of the
worst snowstorm in this part of the
country since 1888, kept Newark fire
men ION the jump" from it's outset.
The wet snowfall coating wires with
ice as 1t froze, caused many to be-
come crossed and result in fires,
which were incessant last night and
today in Newark and vicinity.
The greatest damage done by fire
in the present storm was to several
buildings from 266 to 272 Fifteenth
avenue about Z o'clock last night.
The fire, which started from an eX-
plosion of unknown origin, gained
considerable headway before the fire
engines arrived. This was caused by
the delay in the discovery and send
ing in of the alarm, as the police and
fire alarm systems were put out of
commission by the storm.
The damage from this fire is esti-
mated at more than So 900. The
greater part of this was done to the
clothing and drygoods store of Klaus-
ner Brothers, at 266 Fifteenth avenue
according to the fire department. Be-
fore the fremen arrived the fire had
spread TO the gents furnishing store
of James Sotienca, at 26S Fifteenth
avenue. and the ladies' wear store of
Schacater & Namier at 270-2721a Fif-
teenth avenue. The families on the
two upper floors of the Klausner
store, a frame building, were driven
out into the storm by the flames.
Later, however, they were able to
return. Considerable damages was
done to their quarters by water, as
the fire was for the most part, con-
fined to the first floors of the burn
ing buildings. Mr.. Klausner said to-
day that the fire started in the Soti-
enca store. and not his He was alb

Store Front Blows In.
The first that was known of the
fire in the Klausner store was when
the whole front of the store was
blown out by an explosion within
The cause of the explosion had not
been aseertained by the fire depart
ment or Salvage Corps this morning,
when an investigation was made. At
the time the fire was discovered it
was burning briskly. As most of the
interior of the store was destroyed

VILLA RECOGNIZES

REBELS LEADER
Commission to Visit Benton's
Grave Hate dby Latest
Development.
NEW REPRESENTATIONS
MUST BE MADE BY u. S.
All Diplomatic Questions Will
Be Handled by Carranza
Hereafter.

WASHINGTON, March That
General Villa has acknowledged the
authority of General Carranza as his
chief and will not permit the Ameri-
can commission to examine the body
of Filiam s. Benton until the Wash
ington government has consulted Cen
eral Cerranza, was the explanation
made by President Wilson today of
the latest phase of the Mexican situ-
tion.
The President told callers that the
desire Of the commissioners to get
further instructions from washington,
as well as orders from General Villa
himself, had necessitated a postpone
ment, but Mr.. Wilson takes it for
granted that the commissioners will
start in .. few days.
Asked whether, in view of the new
developments, change of policy was
intended by the United States imme-
diately, the President pointed out
that a country of the size and power
of the United States could afford to
wait just as long as it pleased; that
nobody doubted its power and nobody
doubted that Huerta was eventually
to retire; that there need be no heSi-
tation in forming the judgment that
what the United States wished to ac-
complish in Mexico would be accom-
plished, but that those people who
were in haste to have things done
were forgetting that they would have
to do themselves, that it would have
to contribute brothers, sons and
sweethearts to do it if they wanted
something done right away. If they
were willing to wait, the President
indicated, such step might not be
necessary.
The President referring, it was pre-
sumed, to speeches in Congress de-
manding radical action of some kind,
or armed intervention, which he
seemed to deplore.
CHIHUAHUA, March General
Villa said today that the orders de-
laying the Benton investigation COM
mission, which was halted at Juarez
yesterday, were issued by General
Carranza. who has determined to
