fRv Associated Press l

Venice, Jan. 8.-The public schools,
which were ordered closed when
Venice was threatened and the city
evacuated, have been ordered to re-
open on Jan. Is. This is an indica-
ton of the establishment of part
IL normal conditions.
Parents having children of school
age and who are able financially will be
permitted to return them at their own
expense, but the poor, VINO were as
sisted by the government when they
left, will not be assisted to return
until conditions are completely nor

children of Italian soldiers at the
Palace Of San Gabrielle. The chill
dren sang American songs and waved
American flags. Their sufferings
have been greatly alleviated through
the activities Of Harvey b. Carroll,
jr., the American consul and his
wife.
Consul Carroll today visited the
Asiago plateau as the guest of the
Italian general staff. He carried a
huge supply of knitted goods for the
soldiers in the trenches. 1t was

Washington, Jan. s.-The Walsh

was passed by the senate late yester-
day by vote OF 81 to 49,. 1t now
goes to the house.
The oil land leasing bill has been
pending in the senate for four years.
Its passage at this session was made
possible by an agreement to eliminate
from its provisions the naval oil re-
serves, which was urged by the navy
department. A separate bill provid-

Chicago lis Busy
Digging Itself
Out of the Snow

Chicago Jan. S.-Chicago today
continued its efforts to recover from
the effects Of the record breaking
blizzard which swept over the mid
dlewest and great lakes region Sun
day, tying up traffic TO such an ex-
tent that food and fuel shortages
were threatened In several cities.
Many trains are running late, but
the railroads gradually are resuming
their normal schedules and indica-
tions are that the effects of the storm
will not be OF especial seriousness If
the weather remains clear for a few
days.
The weather man, however, has
cast a rather pessimistic cloud over
the situation by forecasting more
snow tonight or tomorrow for
Michigan and parts OF Wis
consln and Iowa-the territory most
seriously affected by the storm.
Immediate relief for the milk
shortage in Chicago and the fuel
shortage in other cities is promised
by the railroads. MIX trains ran
practically on schedule today and
hundreds OF cars of coal have been
loaded at the mines, waiting to be

handle them.

charge declared were inserted as a
protestation against monopolies.

Senator Thomas opposed the Sterl-

innating lessees' stock in refining
companies, declaring that he did not
believe congress should penalize a
man for buying stock. His motion
to strike out the section was reject
ed.
The senate also rejected Senator
Ktrby's amendment, which would
have authorized the President to
develop, mine and operate coal and

the public exigencies require 1t.
An amendment by Senator King
provided that mo- public mineral lands
can be withdrawn by the President

viding for the ceding Of all unre-
served public lands to the states, was
