SNOW CONTINUES 4
Binding STORM
COUNTRY BURIED
new YORK STREETS BLOCKED
Costing q Fortune to Move
The Snow

New York, Feb. 17.-Snow continued
to fall over Greater New York and en-
virons today, adding to the layer Of
nearly ten inches which fell during
Saturdays blizzard. Temperature at
9 a. m. was II degrees above zero. Vita
10000 shovelers and drivers working
constantly since Saturday morning,
hardly dent had been made today in
the mass of snow under which the city
is buried.
In Manhattan, Brooklyn and the
Bronx there are 300 miles of streets
covered by the snow removal schedule
ard with every available man and
team engaged in the work, only about
an inch a day can be removed.
According to the weather bureau 81
inches of snow already has fell, which
means that it will take about ten
days unless it becomes warmer and
thaw assists in the work.
A rise in the temperature, in addi-
ton to helping the street cleaning de-
partment in a physical way, would
save the city thousands of dollars, it
being estimated that every inch OF
snow removed costs $4,000.
With continued cold weather the
total cost of the recent snow storm
will reach half a million dollars or
more.
The recruiting of an army of more
that 10000 men to augment the reg
ular street cleaning forces of the city,
the street railway companies and CON
tractors was made possible by the fact
that the storm made ordinary out of
door work impossible.
In addition, the charity lodging
houses and free employment agencies
furnished hundreds of men,

AS SMALL AS 81 PER WEEK
Better Wages For Women is
Demanded

New York, Feb. 17.-Low wages are
paid in the confectionery and paper
box industries of the state, the state
factory investigating committee re-
ported to the Legislature tonight along
with an urgent recommendation for
better remuneration for these classes
of employees.
The report shows that in Greater
New York girl confectionery workers
generally obtain S. a week. The ma
jority of male workers receive between
SIS and $14 More than one-hala of
the men receive less than $40 wesk.
One-half of the women get less than
Sc a week, while less skilled ones re-
caiye as low as $3.50 a week.
Reductions for absence and fines
and lack of employment during slack
periods lower the incomes.
In the paper box industry the ma
jority of women workers are rated UNI
der $3.50 a week. Almost 1900 WON

years Of age in the trade, earn less
than So for weeks work More than
700 girls under 18, or almost half o:
those reported, earn less than IS Il

These figures show conclusiyely
the necessity for an improvement q
wages" said Lieut.. Gov. Wagner
chairman Of the commission. "No wo-
man can live properly and be self-sus-
tanning on a wage Of IS or Sc OF

Are the Human Slaughter
Houses Of State

Atlanta, Feb. 17.-That the alleged
barbarities and horrors of the Fulton
county convict camps have not been
due to bad state laws or general con-
ditions, but are the result of the auto
cratic power of one harsh and cru Il
man-Tom Donalson-is the practica!
meaning of the grand jury present
ments that so stirred this community
yesterday afternoon.
The local board of county commits
sioners is blamed for letting Donald
son exercise so much power, but the
actual conditions are put upon Donald
sons head and his complete elimina-
ton from the county convict system is
recommended in the presentments.
From the state prison board comes
the statement, backed up by obvious
facts from many sources, that if the
conditions in Fulton are what the
grand jury says, then Fulton is the e&-
ception to the rest of the state, and it
would be unfair to the whole of Geor-
gia for the outside world to judge the
whole system by the cruelties that
have grown up in one county because
of one man..
AS for local conditions here in Full
ton, the county board will Immediately
take up the grand jury presentment,
and if the principal recommendations
are carried out it will mean the end of
the Donaldson regime for good and all.

trial. Judge L. S. Roam, who had pre-
SIDED at the trial, heard argument
also on the motion. His denial of a
new trial Immediately was followed
by the filing of an appeal
The dissenting opinion of Chief
Justice Fish and Justice Beck was
principally based upon the compe-
tence of the testimony of Conley and
J. n. Dalton as to alleged acts of i'm
morality on the part of Frank at the
pencil factory prior to the murder.
Franks attorneys today refused t.
iii. cuss the decision by which their
Gent was denied new trial. 1t is
ad'litted, however, that Franks only
hope lies in the extension of execu-
tive clemency by Governor John M
Slaton, or an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States on the
ground that the defendant was not
accorded a fair and impartial trial, as
guaranteed him by the constitution.

old WOODCUTTER
COLD IN Death
FOUND IN WOODS
LAY DEAD since SATURDAY
Familiar Figure on Streets
of Americas

"Old Jonas" an ante-bellum negro
wood-cutter and for many years a
familiar figure upon the streets of
Americas, is dead. His body, bent
with age and infirmities, was found
yesterday morning ! the woods east
OF the city and near his humble home,
where it had laid since last Saturday
night His death, it is generally sup
posed, was due to intense cold, he pro-
baby having become lost en- route
home.
Near the frail old body of Jonas
stood the little red steer that for years
had pulled the rickety old wagon in
which he had been accustomed to haul
wood
The presumption was that the steer
got out of the road and into the woods,
where the old driver became lost and
died of exposure. or else he may have
died from natural causes and the lit
tic red OK, with no hand to guide the
line wandered from the road
Old Jonas, with his dilapidated cart
and old red steer has for many years
been familiar figure here A link to
the negro of ante-bellum days, old
Jonas was "hodaked" by many north
ern tourists coming to Americas, while
he and the old steer are immortalized
in thousands of postcards sold in To-
cal stores and mailed broadcast over
