Both parties, of course. have faults
and virtues, and it is very evident
that this marriage was not made in

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Railroad i
traffic and shipping in the entire east
ern section of the country and along
the northern Atlantic seaboard was
crippled Saturday by a severe blizzard
which blew along the coast, whipping
every port and driving all vessels to
shelter. In Pennsylvania, New York,
Connecticut, Delaware, Vermont,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
trains were delayed by heavy drifts.
The gale at New York reached a
velocity OF 50 miles an hour early in
the day and increased in strength
hourly. Storm warnings were hOisted
from Cape Hatteras to Nantucket and
only the most daring mariners put to
sea in the face OF the storm.
Ten transatlantic liners, carrying
$3.50 passengers and heavy consign-
ments of mail and freight, are many
hours over due at this port as a re-
suit of the storm. Thirty-five freight
ers and coast steamers are also be-
hind schedule. The death list result
ing from the cold wave and snow
storm in this city was increased to IA
early in the day. Two more victims
succumbed 10 exposure.
With more than seven inches of
snow on the ground here the blizzard
changed to a Sleet storm shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock. This added further
trouble for the already harrassed Off
cials of the local transportation lines.
The subway was the only system run
ming without interruption.
Trains Were Late.
Officials of the big railway COM
panies remained on duty at their Of
fees all night Thousands of men
were employed by the larger systems
to keep their lines clear, but despite
these efforts the twentieth Century
Limited on the New York Central and
the Broadway Limited on the Penn
sylvania were respectively one hour
and 20 and one hour and so minutes
late. Reports to the railroad Offices
in this city said that many side lines
had been completely tied up.
On the New York Central cOndi-
tions were worst between New York
and Albany, and on the Pennsylvania
between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Work in removing the snow in this
city began at o'clock.
There were only a few streets in
the city early in the day where the
pedestrians could use sidewalks. they
took 10 the streets where the street
car companies had worked tirelessly
TO keep their lines open. Trolley ser
vice in the outlying sections of Brook
lyn and the New York suburbs was
paralyzed. During the morning rush,
rear-end collision occurred on
Brooklyn bridge as a result Of icy
tracks. Two persons were seriously
injured and 30 badly bruised.
Business Is Handicapped.
Business houses in the down town
section Of Manhattan were seriously
handicapped. Ii was almost impOs-
sible for big trucks and wagons to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-United

Vatc secretary to the senator. was in
the room with the attending ply
sician and a nurse.
Sen. Bacon was conscious until the
last. His physician says that a blood
clOt struck the heart, causing death
almost instantly.
The senator's high temperature was
attributed TO Inflammation which was
