Washingtonians to Shiver for
at Least TWenty-Four Hours,
Weather Man Says.

Several Persons Injured in Falls on
Slippery Streets and
Sidewalks.

Washingtonians will have to shiver
Tor at least another twenty-four hours,
according to the weather bureau peo-
pie Low temperatures are to con-
tinue through tonight. and indications
are that the official temperature will
be somewhat about s or degrees
above zero. 1t will probably warm up
a little tomorrow, though no heat pros
trations are to be anticipated at that.
The official thermometer at the
weather bureau-always optimistic, as
the forecaster is the reverse-showed s
degrees above zero as the lowest point
reached by the mercury in the last
Iwenty-four hours. But other ther-
1nometers, perfectly good ones. too.

lower records. One at the bureau of

qua non, indicated degrees above
zero at . o'clock this morning, while
above to as high 10 degrees up
from the zero mark.
Cold Wave General
The cold wave today takes in about
all of the United States east of the
Rocky mountains. with the exception
of Florida and the lower parts of the
south Atlantic and gulf states. The
snowstorm that yesterday was headed
straight for Washington switched off
late in the afternoon and struck Flor
ida, thereby heading off a probable
hard freeze down there. Elsewhere in
the country December records for low
temperatures were smashed. At AL
bany, n. Y, the official observer re-
ported 16 degrees below zero, a new
record. At Northfield, VT, another rec
ord was broken. when the observer re-
ported 80 degrees below zero. Other
reports of broken records were: Syra-

Message From Carranza.

American Consul 'Siliman. at Mexico
City, reported today that Gen. Palafox,
minister of agriculture in the cabinet
of Provisional President Gutierrez, had
issued a statement charging that he
(Silliman), Special Agent Leon Canova
and others had accept a bribe of 5o0.
900 pesos to effect tho release of for
mer Gov. Iturbide.
PalafoX, an adherent of Zapata, is
said to have been eager to see Itur-
bide held. The latter was commander
of the federal district during the brief
administration of Provisional President
Carbajal, but remained in the capital
after all his colleagues had fled. He
took an active part in keeping order in
the capital after the CarranZa forces
withdrew and befope the Zapata forces

Secretary Bryan. admiring Iturbide's s
personal courage in preferring to
maintain order In the city rather than
make his own escape. took a personal
interest in the case and identical rep

Gutierrez and Villa to secure his re-
release.
Iturbide on Way to United States.
Iturbide now is on his way to the
United States, but reports from Mex
leo City say PalafoX announced his in
tention of arresting him If he were
caught en- route to Ell Paso.
Mr.. Silliman in his report dismissed
the story of the bribe as absurd.
The provisional government in Mex

to March 81 the time for revalidation
of mining titles, according to a Mexico

then would you volunteer to teach

That's what this teacher did. Meet
Miss Grace Wyman, principal of an
unique rural school at Mendoza
Beach, Wis. And she had a jolly lot
of fun doing it, too. So did her
pupils.
If you were to step into Miss Wy

place, husky youth humping his
language exercise on a typewriter.
Next to him, young miss cutting
dress on sewing table. Nearby,
girl at the sewing machine.
In the rear, you would see an older
pupil conducting primary reading
class. A boy at the blackboard, doing
a sum. Another, in the hall, sweep

recitation. And, behind a screen, a
lad at a workbench, busy with tools,
possibly making book rack or
mending a chair.
There's an oven and a freless
cooker in the building. On Fridays
the girls come to school with raw vic
tuals from home and prepare a swell
feed for the whole school. Once a
month the parents are invited and
there's an indoor or (if weather per-

plurality.

ity of 10000 in the Second district
