BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES
EVERYWHERE THROUGH.
OUT NORTHWEST.
MUCH SUFFERING is CAUSED
Hospitals in Chicago Kept Busy Treat
ing Cases Of Frostbite-Seven-
ty-five Fires Are
Reported.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Making ample
amends for it's long-delayed arrival,
winter, of genuine, snorting, biting va
riety, has set in firmly and apparent
ly for an extended stay over practi-
cally all the country east Of the Rocky
mountains.
Low Temperatures General.
Below zero weather prevails all over
the northwest, middle and east coast
states and is increasing rather than
diminishing in intensity. Chicago,
which has been singularly immune
all the season because of the pro.
tecting influence of Lake Michigan,
shares the common lot.
All the Great Lakes region is in the
grip of the cold wave. Northern IHdi-
ana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, northern
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and
Michigan report below zero weather,
while the Dakotas, Montana and other
northwestern and western states range
from zero to 40 below.
Many Fires Follow.
Seventy-five fires, most Of them
caused by overheated stoves and fur
naces, kept the local fire department
moving all day. The department is
badly crippled, many Of its members
suffering from frozen hands and feet.
Two Episcopal churches, st. Chryso'
stones and the Church Of the Annun.
citation were damaged by fires.

CENTRAL MARKET At FARGO
Advocates Feel Assured Of Success OF
PIan-Site and Cost ls
Investigated.

Fargo.-The advocates Of central
market now feel assured Of the sue
cess Of the plan. Two members of
the city commission have been named
on committee to secure figures as
to the cost of site and suitable
building and report back as soon as
possible.
The proposed bond issue will be sub
mitted to the voters at the first oppor-
tunity. Two years ago the central
market plan was passed by the city
council, but was vetoed by the mayor.
Since then the advocates of the plan
have continued their campaign and
believe they now see success in sight.
If a central market is established
here there will be a great increase in
truck farming, and eventually vege.
table canning plants will be estab-
lished.

GAY LIFE IN GOTHAM
LEADS TO DI0VRCE SUIT
Members OF Two Prominent New
York Families Are Mentioned
I'm Petition.

NEW YORK. Dec Sensational
allegations against Duncan ]. Pen. jr..
and Roderic Wellman, members Of
two Of the best known old New York
families are made in the bill for di-
vorce filed Monday by John Brecken-
ridge Brandreth, nephew Of the mill
honaire pill manufactures, against his
beautiful young wife, Mrs. Katherine
Adams Brandreth. The action was
brought as an answer 10 a suit for sep
aratiOn brought by Mrs. Brandreth
which has been on file secretly for
two weeks.
Mrs. Brandreth denies in toto the
charges that she was guilty of mis-
conduct either with Pell or Wellman,
whom she describes as intimate per-
sonal friends OF her husband. She
says his suit was brought at the in
stigatiOn Of members Of the Brandreth
family
The charges profess to reveal a Sc
ries OF gay life" incidents at the
BTandreth country home at Hewletts.
l.. l., and are backed up by affidavits
by two house servants in the Bran
dreth mansion.
Pell is accused in the servants affi-
davits Of being in Mrs. Brandreth's
room in scanty attire. The affidavits
say that they served Pell with break
fast in Mrs. Brandreths room on sew
eral occasions and on another occa-
sion found Mrs Brendreth's night
gown in PelFs room in the Brandreth
mansion.
Concerning Wellman, the charge is
made that Mrs. Brandreth. scantily
clad, admitted him late at night to the
Hewletts house and was seen in his
arms by the servants. Wellman says
this is not true, but admits that as a
friend of Brandreth he entered the
house late at night.
The suit is outrageous" said Mrs.
Brandreth Monday while packing her
trunks for a trip to North Carolina.
" Mrs. Brandreth, my husbands moth
er, never favored our marriage, al
though the position of my family was
at least equal TO that of her own.
The servants who have given affi-
davits against me do not like me. L
ordered them out of the house at
Hewletts after they had been disre-
spectful to my mother, who was visit
ing me / think that hatred inspired
their affidavits"
Mrs. Brandreth has won the first
skirmish in the legal engagement by
obtaining a court order for $50 a
month alimony pending the hearing
of her suit and Mr.. Brandreth's.
