WHOLE COUNTRY FROM
LAKES TO GULF IN GRIP
OF 'VARIEGATED' STORM

CHICAGO, Feb. Practically the
entire country from the Great lakes
TO the Rockies and south nearly TO
the gulf of Mexico was storm-swept
today. All varieties of weather were
in evidence. While the south was
swept by rain the country west and
north of Chicago was experiencing
sleet, snow and rain. This combina-
ton had cut off the northwest from
wire communication. no wire being
obtainable TO any point north or
northwest OF Milwaukee. In Chicago,
Saturday nights heavy snow fall had
been followed by warm wave which
brought rain. the streets of the city
today being a combination Of slush
and ice through which pedestrians
slipped and fioundered. Numerous
accidents. as result of the icy pave
ments were reported. The inclement
weather gave employment to 1900
men who went into the slush-cOvered
streets ankle deep with 800 teams and
IS horse cars. Slush and ice driven
into the Chicago river by the high
northwest wind blocked the river for
many hours.
The weather man stated that
there was no prospect Of the storm
letting up. The rains were particu-
larly heavy in the Ohio and middle
Mississippi valleys. There was no
cold weather in sight.

ruled the demurrer of Mayor Dom
NJ. Roberts, Judge +. Redman. and
the other Terre Haute politicians who
are charged with conspiracy in con-
nection with alleged election frauds,
and set March as the date for the
trial. Roberts. and the others had
questioned the Jurisdiction of the

90 order the case tried in the United
States court
Mayor Roberts and Judge Redman
and the % other defendants were in
court when the decision was read
Congressman A. o. Stanley. chiet
counsel for the defense, asked the
court TO set the trial date after the
adjournment of congress on March 3.
Judge Anderson's decision covered
% typewriter pages. 1t held that the
federal court has jurisdiction in this
case, because in the election in ques-
ton a United States senator and g
congressman were chosen. The court
stated that a conspiracy TO debaucf
such an election was an offensC
against the United tSates and a con
spiracy to use the United States mails
TO corrupt an election also was a vio-
lation of federal laws.
All four counts of the indictments

PARK BOARD TO PROVIDE
FREE HOMES AND FOOD
FOR MANY INHABITANTS

Homes for the homeless and an
abundance Of food for the hungry,
form a small portion of the induce
ment that is being held forth by the
city beard of park commissioners to
retain in South Bend a certain class
of inhabitants.
Small. home-like cottages and
many-roomed mansions will be erect
ed and undisputed title will be turned
over gratis to the inhabitants Prob
ably before the number of addiuans
at present planned are completed. 800
homes will have been constructed and
that many families will have taken
possession.
The park board believes that once
in the contributed homes. the fam
lilies will become acclimated and viii
never have occasion TO leave the city.
II is held as a logical conclusion that
families settled in their own homes,
title undisputed and food supplied by
the mere effort required 10 go after

GERMANS WAR ON
SH|PP|NG STRIKES
TLRR0R TO BRITISH
Sinking of Five English Mer-
chant Vessels During Past 48
Hours Marks Beginning of
Submarine Campaign.
BY Herbert Temple.

LONDON, Feb. THAT Germany
has finally launched her threatened
submarine war against British mer-
camille shipping in order to isolate
the British isles and cut off British
war and food supplies was the uni
versal opinion today from the sinking
Of five British merchant ships in the
Irish sea and the English channel
during the past As hours. Conster
nation prevails in shipping circles;
marine insurance rates are soaring.
Following a conference at the ad-
miralty today it was learned that the
naval patrol all around England,
Scotland and Ireland will be extend
ed. British warships viii probably
be sent out TO sea TO escort big in
coming liners into port. Fears are
felt for the safety of the Lusitania,
which is on the Atlantic. bound from
New York for Liverpool
1t is believed that England Will
lodge vigorous protests with the
American government against Ger
many's attacks upon harmless mer-
chant ships.
The two British merchant ships
lost yesterday. the Tokomaru and the
lcaria, were sunk off the French
coast within "a short distance from
warships which were patrolling the
channel.
AsSailants Unseen.
Members of the crew of the Toxic
maru who arrived here today said
that the ship was stationary waiting
for her pilot when an explosion oc-
Cured. The vessel was about 20
miles off Havre. The crew immediate
ly disem barked as the ship began to
sink rapidly No submarines were
seen and no warning was given. but
ii is taken for granted that the ship
was tOrpedOed by German under
water craft
The Icaria, bound from Brazil. was
20 miles north of Cape lie Heve when
violent explosion occurred on the
starboard side under the water line.
She began to settle at once and be-
came unmanageable.
Another steamship, the Kilcoan is
reported TO have been attacked, but
at the time this dispatch was written
no news had been received relative TO
her fate.
British newspapers are bitter
against the latest phase of German
warfare, which is called a breach of
recognized code of hostirties. 1t is
charged that the Germans have also
violated the international laws by dis
playing the British flag on their sub
marines.
Mail Packet Chased.
1t is evident from the number OF
underwater craft at work that the
German admiralty is using many OF
its available Is submarines.
The royal mail packet, Leister, re-
ported at Dublin that she had been
chased into port by a hostile sub
marine.
Naval experts declare that Ger
manys IS powerful submarines can
easily paralyze British shipping, de-
spite the guards of warships. These
submarines are new craft. equipped
with the latest devices of destruction
and each has a radius of $500 miles.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.--Refreshed
by a rest of nearly 80 hours senators
returned to the trenches this morn
ing and again waged the fight over
the ship purchase bill. The repub-
licans were confident that they would
be able to keep up the filibuster in
definitely. Sen. William Alden Smith,
Sen. Jones of Washington, and Sen.
Burton of Ohio, were ready to talk
at length in their efforts TO defeat the
measure.
The republicans have held their
lines intact throughout a 37-hour
session which marked tie close of a
week of hard fighting and appear TO
be far from having exhausted their
resources of verbal ammunition.
Many who have talked already on
the bill may discuss amendments
without coming within the rule for
biding a senator from speaking twice
on the same subject.
Democrats Confident.
The democrats were equally con-
fident OF being able to wear down
their opponents by the end of the
week and were hopeful of being able
TO hold the senate in session continu-
ously until the flibustefers were
forced to capitulate. They have the
advantage in numbers and age of
mem bers. The average age of the
democratic senators is that of 54.6
years, while that of the republicans
is a trifie more than 60.
So if the idea that youth will be
served" in a test of endurance apply.
the odds would seem to favor the ad-
ministration forces.
Sen. Williams of Mississippi today
estimated the cast of the filibuster to
be 100000. He figures that Sen.
Shoots speech cost $225,0OO in print
ing bills and stenOgraphers' fees.
Sen. SmoOt spoke for IL hours and 35
minutes Sen. Burton's speech, which
extended over 13 hours, cost $3.50, 900;
Sen. Lodges. $4,000, and Sen Gal
linger's, $500, 900.
A score of senators appeared when
the senate met and the usual call of
the roll to obtain a quorum was be-
gun
Sen. Fletcher of Florida, in charge
of the bill, entered the democratic
cloak room with a bulging portfolio.
Il brought my camping outfit this
time" he said, land the other demo-
cratic senators have been warned to
bring theirs. We are going TO stay
here until we pass this bill That
means running oil night and all day
without any stop until we are through.
