by the most severe storm today.
Snow drifts fifteen feet or more were
common and all forms of traffic was
demoralized.
Railroads to the South, North and
West were tied up early in the day.
Telegraph and phone wires, especially
in the open country. were wrecked.
There was no automobile traffic.
Hundreds of cars were abandoned by
their owners. some buried by the
drifts. The street cleaning bureau
found it impossible to work in the
binding snow.
The temperature was eighteen above

there were no casualties reported.
One death due to the storm was re-
ported late tonight. Joseph H. Hill
erman, 20 was overcome by the

way home.
Careful work of Raymond Durham,
Cook County fuel administrator, has
protected Chicago from a coal fam

This statement was made tonight
by George II. Gushing. editor of the
