Five Perish In New York Cold.

New York.-When the thermometer
went to 13 below zero Dec. 29 New
York experienced the coolest weather
in the history of the local weather
bureau. There was general suffering
because of coal shortage. Six below
zero was the former low mark. Five
many persons suffering from frost
bite were treated at hospitals. Fog
over the harbor virtually suspended
water traffic. Hundreds who had no
coal took refuge in police stations.

FIRES RAzE HEART OF NORFOLK.
One Man Killed, Score Injured and
$4,000, 900 Property Destroyed.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-Nearly two
blocks in the heart of Norfolk's bust
ness district, including the Monticello
hotel. were destroyed one man was
killed and score more injured in a
series of explosions and fires which
both the police and naval authorities
believe were incendiary The fire had
been checked last night, but was still
burning fiercely In the ruins. The
loss is roughly estimated at more than
S2,000,000. Three distinct explosions
in as many buildings. one after the
fire once had virtually been brought
under control, led to the general be-
lief that enemy agents were at work.
Mayor Mayo practically placed the
city under martial law by turning the
situation over to the naval officers
and some $500 marines and blue
jackets from nearby naval stations as
sisted the police and home guards in
maintaining order and preventing van
dalism. Naval patrols rounded up sus-
picious persons, while five men were
arrested as suspects.
