FURIOUS GALE BATTERS THE
TOWN OF WINTHROP, MASS.

Winthrop, Mass, Feb. 15.--DriVen by
the furious northeast gale which ac-
companied the snow and rain of Fri
day the sea battered the granite
breast works protecting the Shore
Drive of this town Saturday, shooting
volumes of water so feet into the air.
This torrent rushed like cascade
down side streets. submerging the
area bordered by Shirley street, Wave
Way avenue and Beacon street.
Cellars were flooded, furnace fires
were extinguished and scores of peo-
pie living on Cottage Hill We're isolat-
ed at winthrop Beach station until
conveyance was obtainable for fording
the knee-d deep stream which flowed
over Shirley street, between Perkins
and Beacon.
Fortunately for the beach section
the wind shifted sharply to the north
before high tide, as it is thought that
otherwise the sea wall might have
been destroyed.
An extreme drop in temperature
would entail great suffering and con-
siderable loss in the flooded area.

Serious Fire IS
Prevented Sunday.


An alarm was rung in about S.45
Sunday night from Box 1913, situated
at the corner of Main and Temple
streets. The fire was in the work
room of the y. Seller Co, ladies'
tailoring concern, occupying the sec
ond floor of the premises at l6o Main
street. The overheating of a stove
caused the blaze. which started in the
wall directly hack Of the stove and
quickly ignited the ceiling of the room
and the adjoining wall.
Clouds of smoke issuing from one
of the large front windows attracted
the attention of officer Emile Porlier
and he Immediately rang in the alarm
and then hastened into the burning
room. The quicl; response of the men
from the Central station prevented a
very serious conflagration, as the fire
occurred in a block of several wooden
buildings. Three lines Of hose were
laid and the fire was put out without
any serious damage outside of the
room in which the fire started. No
damage estimate was made at the
time the fire was declared out.

a riot that resulted when - police
men attempted to aid Sheriff Edward
Swanson in carrying out the order oI
Judge w. A. Funk of the circuit court
that the Rev. Stanislaus Gruza be
placed in charge of St. Casimir's Pol
ish Roman Catholic church. A MOB
of 1000 men and women, after fight
ing two hours, succeeded in blocking
the effort of Father Gruza to take
possession of the church.
Father Gruza was transferred to the
parish year ago, but the paMshon-
ers refused to accept him. The mem
bers of the 500 families in the parish
then took charge of the church, bar
red the doors and windows and petit
toned the bishop of the district to
assign them another priest.
This was refused and the matter
was taken into the circuit court where
Judge Funk ordered the sheriff to
place Father Gruza in charge OF the
church Early today the sheriff,
deputy and the priest drove to the
church, but were Immediately sur
rounded and the police were called
upon for aid. Twenty-Five officers were
sent to the church and the doors brok-
en- open, the angry parishioners then
charged the officers and the battle
was fought in the street.
The fire department was called te
aid the police, but was unable to help
as the rioters surrounded the wagons
and threatened to cut the hose. Fa-
ther Gruza watched the fight from q
house two blocks away.

INvESTICATIONTO
FIND WORK FOR
UNEMPLOYED.

Washington. Feb. 15.-With the pur-
pose of finding work for the unemploy-
ed thousands, the Federal Commission
of Industrial Relations today inaug-
urated an investigation to extend from
Boston to Kansas City.
Attention first will be given to pub
lie and private employment to bring
out to what extent the trouble is due
to their lack of organization and in
efficiency. Four investigators have
been assigned to undertake this task
with orders to report within six
weeks.
The commission, it was announced
today, regards the unemployed prob
lem as a permanent one, because the
present conditions in the labor field
are virtually the same as exist every
year at this season. Therefore. it is
proposed to gather material for the
preparation of legislation by Congress
to establish a federal employment bu-
reau. which shall serve as a clearing
house for public and private agencies
and direct the movement of workers

Chairman Frank p. Walsh today.

thankful if they get only few hours
employment.
Poorly nourished and thinly clad

foreman's inspection, and then many
drift away to the cheap saloons to

participation was concerned, his cam
paign already has ended. Rep Hob
son is carrying forward the personal
campaign which he has been waging
for many months.
Like all later political fights in the
South, the Hobson- Underwood cam
paign has been involved with the ques-
tion of state wide prohibition. Mr..
Hobson has charged his opponent with
having been influenced by "liquor in
terests." He also charges that corpo-
ration influence was behind the cam
paien of Mr.. Underwood for the Pres
idential nomination in 1912. These
charges have been denied by Mr.. Tn
derwood.

eral joint debates between the candi-
dates excited the state. Mr.. Hobson

Mr. Underwood announced he could
not indulge in such a campaign in
