RAILROAD TRAFFIC
is BADLY TIED Up
Fuel and Food Problems Are
More Serious
THIRTY MILES PER HOUR
Is The Rate of a aIe.Drifting
Snow About Windy
City -
UNITED Press Dispatch.]
From Saturdays Daily.


Chicago, ILL.,, January Zone OF
the greatest blizzards ever known held
practically the entire country in it's
grasp last night, from the Rockies to
tie Appalachians, and from the Cam
madam line to the Gulf OF Mexico. Zero
temperatures prevailed this morning
as far south as Kentucky and Ten
nessee, and freezing weather even as
far south as the gulf.
The tying up of the railway traffic
is very serious throughout large part
of the country. In many localities, the
food and fuel problems have become
very acute on account of the blizzard,
which has piled great drifts on the
tracks, hopelessly preventing the
passage of the trains today. l., a-.u
around Chicago. the snow is piled in
great drifts, cutting off the usual
means of traffic.
At Chicago the snowfall during the
blizzard was five TO ten inches and
there was a thirty mile gale.
Communication by wire has been
badly impaired, so that reports on the
great storm are meager. 1t is under
stood that there have been many
deaths in different sections by people
freezing to death.

United States Forester Coming
West To Teach This
Art

Washington, D. c., January Z, 1918.
C. R. Tilletson of the United States
forest service, left here today for
Wisconsin and Minnesota, where he
will assist the federal fuel admin
istrators of those states in increasing
the use of firewood in order to lessen
the demand for coal He will also
demonstrate to farmers and other
woodland owners methods of cutting
by which firewood can be obtained
with the best results to the timber
growth Plans for securing and dis
tributing firewood will be worked out.
1t is hoped to establish municipal
wood yards at various places and
to decide upon satisfactory methods
of utilizing waste from sawmills and
other woodworking plants.
A special appeal is to be made
through directors of extension work
in the two states to the farmers to
cut cordwood this winter while other
work is slack.
Mr. Tillotson is one of the ten ex-
perts of the forest service who have
been assigned to cooperate with the
fuel administration to relieve the
fuel shortage in the eastern states.

DR.. ROY n. ANDREWS
AND FAMILY MADE
ILL BY GAS FUMES
They Were Overcome LastNight
While Asleep; Recovering
NiceIy.1Today
from Thursdays gary.

While asleep at their home, SIC
South Second street last night, DR..
and Mrs. Roy N. Andrews and little
daughter, Cornelia, were overcome by
gas fumes escaping from faulty fur
mace pipes, and no doubt their lives
would have been snuffed out but for
the fact that windows in the house
had luckily been left open. Mr.. An
drews awoke feeling very dull and
drowsy and as he attempted to rise
he fell back upon his bed.
Realizing at once that something
very serious had happened he at
tempted to rise again and gained his
feet. He staggered to the telephone,
and called up the home of his father,
DR.. J. W. Andrews, telling him to
come Immediately, then he collapsed
again, Dr. Andrews at once hurried
to the home of his son, and it was
feared at first that none of the in
mates would be able to come to the
door to admit him.
Mrs. Andrews finally reused her
self enough to be able to go to the
door and open it for DIR. Andrews and
he at once applied restoratives to the
three sufferers. DIR. Roy Andrews
rapidly recovered, but Mrs. Andrews
an dlittle daughter were very ill from
inhaling the gas fumes, and we're
taken to the home of Dr. and Mrs.
]. w. Andrews, $40 South Second
street, to be cared for, as the gas
was still heavy in the rooms Of their
own home. TWAS reported this noon
that Mrs. Andrews and little daugh-
ter were recovering nicely.

FIRST WHITE MAN
TO Be ELECIROCUTED
Oklahoma To Execute Its First
Victim of Caucasian
Race
From Saturdays Daily.

FROM saturdays Ddlty.
McAlester, Okla, January 12.-Quil-
lie Mcconnell, aged "a, farmer boy
who lived near Stroud, Okla, SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair in
the state prison here, will be the first
whote man to be electrocuted in state
Mcconnell pleaded guilty to the muir
der of Sheriff George Arnold while
the latter was trying to arrest him
and a companion at Chandler, Okla,
August 25, 1916, after the boys had
broken into and robbed local de-
partment store.
The events leading up to the kill
ing of Sheriff Arnold, according to
McConnell's own version, were as
follows:
Mcconnell and his companion,
George Barnard,aged twenty were in
Chandler the night of August %,
1916 and decided to attend lecture
to be given that night by a former
bandit and train robber who is now
an evangelist. The lecturer told the
story of his former life and his sub
sequent reformation
The two farmer boys, after hear

to local department store and
robbed it of what they could carry
Sheriff Arnold attempted to arrest
the boys early next morning in park
north of Chandler Mcconnell was
crawling through hole in barbed
wire fence, after a short chase, when
Arnold grabbed his coat and started
to crawl through the hole after his
prospective prisoner. Mcconnell, turn
ing, drew revolver and shot Arnold
The two boys were finally arrested
near Prague, Okla, that same night
From Prague they were spirited to
Shawnee in order to avoid threatened
mob violence.
Mcconnell admitted his offense
when his case was called in the dis
trict court at Chandler. Barnard was
convicted and sentenced to death but
his case is still in the courts. Nc
ConnelPs electrocution was originally
set for December % but Governor R
L. Williams preferred to lift the bur-
den of impending death just before
Christmas time and reprieve was
granted until January %. On Janu-
airy 5, the board of pardons re-
jected appeals that the sentence be
committed.
Two white men have been hanged
since the establishment of statehood
but the five men suffering the death
penalty since the introduction OF
electrocution as the legal mode OF
infiicting capital punishment, were
negroes.

salary of the county auditor is fixed

Saving of Money.
The deal that the county board
made with the Wells Dickey company
of Minneapolis for the sale to the lat
ter of $109,500 worth of ditch bonds
at five per cent per annum will, it is
estimated, save the county total of
$2,40350, by the commissioners choos-
ing to sell five per cent bonds at par
and pay $12.69 to the buyers for every
thousand dollars worth for assistance
in the proceedings, attorneys fees and
the like, rather than sell the bonds at
par with the interest at five and one
quarter per cent. The annual inter
est saved by saving the one-fourth of
one per cent on the whole $780,
500 is $273.75. The average term OF
the bonds to run is IL So years. This
makes a total saving on the interest
of $3,786.71. The county, however
pays $3.50 per $1,000 of the bonds to
the buyers for the proceedings, attor-
ney services and the like. This
amounts to $1,383.21 on the whole
amount. Deducting this from the
amount of interest saved, the net saw
ing is $2,403.50.
