R|CHMONO'S LAST
BIG SNOW VERY FATAL

Richmond's last big snow was on
April 8, 1915. when four men, four
horses and a mule were killed, the
streets became almost impossible and
Richmond WAS cut of from all tele-
phone and telegraph communication.
That snowstorm was tho worst one
that has gripped Richmond in the
present generation. 1t struck the city
in the early hours OF Saturday and
held the town In thraldom until late
in the afternoon.
The four men killed were Clarence
F. Moxiey. who ran a store at 1904
Nine Mile Road: Charles II. Beadles
and J. Roy Cheault. prosperous farm
ers OF Enfield. King William County.
and Houston Hardy. an inmate of the
virginia state penitentiary. Chenault,
Beadles and Moxley were killed when
thhey came in contact with a charged
wire in front OF the latteE.s- stoEs--
The King william County farmers
were on their way homo, when they
stopped in at Monkeys place. While
they came in contact with q charged
mule, which were hitched to their
wagon. became tangled In . charged
wire. When they attempted to lend
assistance to the animals all three
came In contact with tho wire and
were instantly killed. The horse and
mule also fell victims to the wire.
Hardy was attempting to fix a wire
At the penitentiary when he was kill
ed.
During the storm two valuable
IRE engine horses. which were known
~ Dan" and SAM" were also kill
ed, as was only = horse belonging to
David Donati. The last named horse
was killed only about two blocks
from the scene OF the Nine Mile
Road tragedy.
This storm not only had disastrous
effects In Richmond. but throughout
the South. Many persons and animals
were killed. while both telegraph and
telephone companies experienced con-
siderable diniculty In getting COM
munications restored.

At I CENTS A MEAL
THEY GAIN WEIGHT

Berea- KY. Dec. IN order to
prove that the cost OF living has not
reached every part OF the country,
Berea College, In the Kentucky Noun
tains. Is responsible for tho statement
that its fourteen hundred students are
fed at a cost Of seven cents a meal,
that they gained several tons" In
weight and that the boarding hall
made = net gain OF s55s49.
In explaining the record william
Goodell Frost. president Of the college,
refers FIRST to the economy of num-
bers. some fourteen hundred students
being in constant attendance in the
five departments. Another explana-
nation OF the seven-cent meal is the
fact that most OF the students are ac-
customed to plain fare. so that they
almost unanimously choose to 60 with
out tea, coffee. and butter to reduce
expenses. To ofrset these COMMISSIONS
tho balanced ration" has been intro
duced on the assumption that IL Ia lust
as important FOR students as "for any
other live stock"
Every effort has been made tn Berea
to buy in quantities. to raise as much
AZ possible on the school farm, which
sells to the boarding hall at tho cost
OF production, and to use all the arts
OF drying. canning and cold storage.

Amendment-Vote of People
JOINT CONFERENCE
URGES MOVEMENT
Bitter Fight to Prevent Action
Is Expected to Be Made by
Liquor Interests; Alignment
Is Not Along Party Line

st. Louis. Mo, Doc. 21.--There Is
to be activity in this State on the
part OF those who are behind the pro-
hibition movement.
The Anti-Saloon League Headouar-
ters Committee In session at this state
headquarters has voted unanimously
for the following program OF temper
ance legislation:
Il. That we seek to have a consti-
tutional amendment for prohi bition
submitted by the Legislature for vote
at the 1918 election.
-. That We urge the passage by
the Legislature of county unit. city
precinct and shipping regulation bills
-. That we lend our support to
the movement for a statute protect
ing the initiative and referendum ball
lot and such other temperance move
aents as time and circumstance
make necessary or wise"
Joint conference OF the organ
lied temperance forces OF Missouri
was held at the 7. NJ. c. A. St. Louis
The organizations represented were
tho Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. Prohibition party. Presby-
terrain Board Temperance. Ministerial
Alliance Of St Louis, and the Anti
Saloon League.
After full discussion and investiga-
ton the following was unanimously
adopted as the program of the allied
temperance forces for the immediate
future:
/. A constitutional prohibition
amendment submitted by the Legisla-
ture to be voted in 1918.
2. Strongly backing the movement
to amend the election laws so as to
fully protect the initiative and refer
endum ballot.
Such other matters as county unit.
city precinct. and shipping regulation
bill. etc. were turned over to the
Anti-Saloon League and w. c. T. U.
TO manage.
Beyond any question. the most i'm
portant immediate battle for tho tenn :
perance forces is to secure such
tect the in1ative and referendum
ballot. This will include some prac-
teal methods OF safeguarding the vot-
Ing a. we'll as the counting OF these
ballots ana full provision for a re-
count In case Of evident fraud.
1t is commonly believed that II
such protection as that had beer in
reach that more than half the present
wet majority would have been pre-
vented.
1t IL thoroughly settled that the
liquor trafic will night such an amend
ment to the bitter finish Just as much
as they would q drastic Statewide
prohibition bill. II they are con-
WINGED tina, when the voters OF the
State of Missouri can act without
prejudice and have their will cor
rectly recorded there is not fight
ing chance for tho traffic.
The drys may expect the most ter
rife fight ever made In the Legisla-
ture to prevent the passage OF this
measure, And tho alignment will
,ot be between political parties, but
between the allied liquor Interests and
the decent citizenship OF the State.

CALIFORNIA VOTE
WAS ENCOURAGING
Is Statement of Dry Federation Which
Rcloiccd Over Progress Made.
Victory Seen i'm 1918.

San Francisco. Cal. Dec. 21.--The
following statement is made by the
California Dry Federation:
I'VE did not carry out anti-alcohol
amendments, but the campaign in
favor of them was extremely effective
and brought the final victory within
reach.
The State outside of San Fran
cisco gave a majority of more than
10000 against public drinking places
and retail liquor shops.
Two years ago Los Angeles city
gave wet majority of $4,000. This
year it was only 5000 and Los An
geles County outside of the city gave
u dry majority of about $4,000.
in 1914 Southern California gave
wet majority OF 5000. This year
it gave dry majority Of more than
$4,000.
Two years ago the Seventh Con-
gressional District. which includes all
the San Joaquin Valley, gave a wet
majority of sac. This year 1t went
dry by nearly $4,000. and every
county in 1t gave dry majority.
I'm 1914 the wet majority in Ala
media County was $4,000. This year 1t
was less than 1000.
Two years ago thirteen counties
gave dry majorities. This year TWEEN
" -siA CouHtieS gave uTy UlaJOTlLleS and
final returns may show that twenty
seven did.
Several cities which license sa-
looms, notably San Diego. San Bern
ardtno and Fresno. gave good MAORI
ties In favor of Statewide prohibition
While San Francisco gave a wet
| majority of more than 5000, 1t mus,
not be forgotten that the dry vote In
| San Francisco this year was 10 per
cent more than in 1914.
IAN along the line great progress
was made. and seemingly impregna-
Bile defenses of the enemy were shat
tered. When grape growing districts
give big dry matorities or break al
most even. and the liquor traffic Is
kept in the State by the vote OF san
Francisco alone, It Is not likely that
saloons will be able to hide behind
grape vines In another campaign OF
the State funds will be used by the
1918 Viticultural Commission to fight
for the liquor traffic.
We have made wonderful progress
in California, and while we were do
ing this four other States and the ter

Twenty Establishments Are
Ousted After Year of Par
.tial Prohibition.
TEN TO ONE IS PILED
UP IN YORKTON
Other Voting Units Give Like
Leads For Drys; DR.. Moore,
of Toronto, Greatly Pleased
at Result.

Regina, Sask., Dec. 2i.-This prov
ince has been under prohibition. so
far as the commercial sale of liauor
Is concerned. But the sale of liquor
by government dlspensary has been In
vogue. Last Monday the citizens OF
the province voted to abolish the gov
eminent liquor stores. So far as known
the vote was as follows:
The returns received show forty -one
towns for abolition, with a vote of
6,S42; against, 634; while in eighty six
villages the vote was: for, 4.S71;
against, $40.
Some of the other returns are:
Regina City-For abolition of stores.
1143; against. III. MooseJaw City
Ward One-Dry, 41s; wet. rs. Lloyd
minster-Dry, 11s; wet. %. Battle
ford-Dry, 327; wet. SIS.
AT Yorkton vote OF 10 to
was piled up for abolition of govern.
ment dispensaries, the figures being
6S7 for abolition and IS against.
When the bar was abolished in Sass
katchewan the government inaugu-
rated a policy of maintaining liquor
stores. or dispensaries. where liquor
could be obtained in small quantities.
and between the hours of 8 A. NJ. and
s r. NJ There were twenty-three OF
{ hese established throughout the
Province, and a year ago three OF
them were abolished. The vote Mon
day was on the question OF the aboli-
ton of the remaining 20, and seem
ingly they are gone too.
Rev. DIR. T. Albert Moore. Of the
Social Service Council of Toronto. who
took part in the campaign, said: Il
am greatly delighted with the result
though not surprised. Throughout the
Province there was the expectation
of a great majority In favor OF aboli-
ton. The result Is that the vote stops
all retail sale of liquor for beverage
purposes In Saskatchewan"
