CHICAGO, Feb. Practically the
entire country from the Great Lakes
to the Rocky mountains and south
nearly to the Gulf of Mexico was
storm swept today. All varieties of
weather were, in evidence.

Chicago, Saturday nights heavy snow
fall had been followed by a warm wave
which brought rain, the streets of the
city being combination of slush and
ice through which pedestrians slipped
and floundered. Four deaths were re-
ported to the police.
The weather gave employment to
1000 men in the slush covered street.
Ice driven by northwest wind block
ed the Chicago river for many hours.
The weather man stated that there
was no indication of the storm letting
up today.
Eastern Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas were severely lashed by the
storm which flattened telegraph wires
and interrupted communication. Sew
eral property losses were reported
from Tyler and Marshall, Texas, Tul-
sa, Okla, and Malvern, Ark. Snow
and rain accompanied the high winds

USES PIPE TO DRIVE
man FROM SALOON

Pat Geagan, a non-union man en-
ployed at the Reliance foundry, where
a strike Is in progress, was arraigned
in city court today on charge OF
public intoxication. A police officer
testified that Geagan was in a COM
bative humor and saloonkeeper
finally had to chase him out of his
place with gas pipe.
An officer of the Reliance factory
charges that striker assaulted a
strikebreaker with a beer mug in a
north end saloon Saturday night. This
case is being investigated.
Complaints galore in connection
with the Reliance strike have been
filed recently but the police say they
have so far been made unable to Sc
cure enough evidence to warrant a
prosecution.

Highway Superintendent Ex-
plains Attitude Toward
ward Road Supervisors of
County.
DETAILS HIS VIEWS
Believes Townships Should
be Charged Only With Ini-
tial Opening and Grading
of Roads.

W. .. Jones has submitted the fol-
lowing:
THE undersigned. county highway
superintendent, desires the use of your
columns for the purpose of correction
of misquotation and for the further
purpose of statement of his position
relative to the improvement and main
tenance of township highways
In the issue of your paper of Janu-
ary 21, 1915, there appeared an arti-
Gle entitled The Road Tax Work,
Etc, in which undersigned and Coun-
ty Treasurer Chamness were quoted
at length. Previously there had been
prepared by the county auditor and
county treasurer compilations in COM
parison of expenditures in mainte-
nance for previous years of both town
ship and county highways and distin.
guished as such for the purpose Of
providing our state senators and rep
resentatives with such in their consid-
Grafton of amendments or changes
proposed to our present highway laws.
as the same might, or might not, af-
feet the local constituency.
"A reporter came to the superin-
tendents office Immediately after the
receipt of this compilation and asked
for an explanation of them. This ex-
planation was given, Mr.. Chamness,
county treasurer, happening to be
present at the time. In this conversa-
tion covering considerable time abso-
lutely nothing was said in any wise
reflecting upon any road supervisor or
any farmer in Wayne County. in the
working out of road taxes or in the
expenditure of township road funds.
There was, however, expressed the
opinion of the writer in the condem-
nation of the present system of town
ship road maintenance and repair,
which neither directly nor indi. ,ctly,
in his opinion, brought about an ade-
quate return for the aggregate expen-
diture, and in this various illustrations
were given illustrative of the evils of
the system, and which are and have
been recognized by township and
county officials and tax payers gener-
ally for the period Of years past.
Denies Use Of Word.
The writer specifically denies the
use of the word Graft" in any con-
versation with reporter.
The writer has absolutely no objec-
tion to being quoted. but must ask
that he be quoted correctly. The
writer further has no criticism to make
or reflection to offer upon any road
supervisor in this county, for he be-
lieves they are doing all the work they
can for the compensation offered, in
the time and under conditions permit
ted by statute.
Further, if you will permit, the writ
er desires to state his position relative
to the improvement and repair of
township highways. After several

Sunk Without Warning.
That the British steamer Tokomura
was torpedoed by German submarine
without any previous warning being
given was the declaration of members
of her crew. They said:
1--WE were just ready to enter Havre
in the morning when torpedo struck
us amidship, carrying away the bull
and smashing part of the bridge. The
captain and third officer were on the
bridge and saw the periscope Of the
marine. AS she made off S. o. s. calls
were sent out and half a dozen French
torpedo boat destroyers came up i'm
mediately. Before the f1remen and
engineers could get out of the stock
hole the water was up to their knees.
Until word to the contrary was re-
ceived today the Havre authorities be-
lieved that the steamer 1karia had also
been sent to the bottom.

ANOTHER SALOON
ASKING LICENSE
MEETS REBUFFS
County Orders Frank Fosler
Sixtieth Applicant, to
Prove City Entitled to Ad-
ditional Liquor House.

An application to establish the six
tieth saloon in Richmond was held up
today by the county commissioners,
when Frank Fosler, the applicant, fail
ed to prove that Richmond can le-
gally have that number of saloons.
Fosler asked a license to establish
a saloon at 1877 Fort Wayne avenue in
the room formerly occupied by the
Crane pool room, which has been re-
moved. He had character witnesses
and went through the usual routine OF
securing license, until 1t came to the
right of the city to have sixty saloons.
There are now fifty-nine saloons,
based on an estimated population Of
29,500 inhabitants. About six OF
these have been established in the last
two years. At the time they were is
sued, some doubt was expressed that
Richmond can claim that population
when the last United States census
only counted 23500.
Uses Postal Figures.
Fosler said the postoffice figures
show that there are 1000 homes in
Richmond, which would indicate that
the population is $4,000, thus allowing
eleven more saloons to enter the city.
Postotfice officials figured the popula-
ton at four persons to each home,
making a total of $4,000.
The commissioners asked Fosler to
bring his proof at the next meeting
and if they are sufficient, the extra
license will be granted.
Other licenses renewed are Westcott
hotel to Warden-Westcott Hotel Com
pany, John Silver and Charles Wieh-
meyer, Fifth and Main streets; Chas.
T.. Graham, 1923 Main street; Louis
Knopf, 4O1 South Fifth street: John j.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The following Of
ficial statement was given out this aft
ernoon at o'clock relative to opera
tions in East Prussia:
There is nothing important to re.
port from East Prussia. Southwest Of
Mlawa and north Of the Vistula river
the Russians have been driven out Of
some Of the places which they had &C.
cupied on Sunday. South Of the Wis
tula, the Germans have gained further
ground. German attacks have been
renewed south Of the Pilicia river"
The war office announced this after
noon that there have been no develop
ments in the western theatre during
the last twenty-four hours. The
statement further says:
The passes through the wooded
mountain districts Of the Carpathian
ranges have been the scene of the
most violent fighting. After four days
of heroic fighting our troops succeeded
in throwing back the Russians from
Uzsok pass although subsequently our
troops had to give up the advanced
line they were holding along ridge
and retreat to another position, which
was taken up on another ridge in the
rear. This movement resulted from
the fact that the Russians had superb
or numbers.
"The Russians again attempted to
break through our lines, but their at
tacks were repulsed. The enemy de-
livered attacks on our position near
Revhely, south of Vezersgall, Velever
near Oekermacz."
