BLIZZARD COMING EAST
Heavy Storm With Low Tempera-
ture in Middle West.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Sweeping east
ward, a severe blizzard is raging to-
day over the Mississippi Valley States
crippling telegraph and train service.
Western Minnesota, Colorado, North
and South Dakota, and Nebraska were
in the grip of the storm.
Telegraph service between Omaha
and Denver was cut off. Snow, driv-
en- by a twenty-five-mile wind, fell
throughout Western Minnesota and
Eastern North Dakota. Telephone
and telegraph service in South Dako-
ia was demoralized by a heavy sleet
storm.
Trains throughout the Storm were
three to five hours late.
Although local snow storms were re-
ported in various sections of the North
west the general blizzard did not de-
velop until late last night. Mitchell,
Aberdeen and Watertown, s. D. Far
go, Grand Forks and Devils Lake,
N. d., and cities in Western Mime
sofa were in the storm zone at noon.
Most of these cities reported mild
weather.
In the Grand Forks district the bliz-
zard was preceded by an electrical
rainstorm.
Thus far no serious property loss
has been reported, but thousands of
sheep are believed to be pastured in
the regions where the blizzard is
raging.
A heavy loss of livestock is feared
on the ranges of Northern Colorado,
as the blizzard struck that part of the
State without warning. and the range
is covered with snow. Kansas and
Nebraska also report heavy snow and
high winds.
The mercury dropped below zero in
several parts of the stor marea, and
the fuel situation at some points is
causing anxiety.

Despite His Fight and Ridden
on Plank

London, Nov. 14.--William E. John
son, American anti-saloon league work
er who was badly handled by crowd
while making prohibition speech
yesterday, discussed his experiences
today. He admitted that when first
attacked he attempted to fight off the
crowd, but when he found it was
only a students lark he entered the
fun and enjoyed himself.
The injury to Johnson's eye is pain
full. It is said to have been caused
by missile thrown by an unknown
person.
London, Nov. 13.-William E. John
son, an American prohibition worker
and Anti-saloon league organizer, IA
maliarly known here and elsewhere
as "Pussyfoot," was dragged from a
platform from which he was speak
Ing today, severely beaten and par
AIDED through two miles of crowded
West End streets on a plank.
His assailants for the most part
were medical students, and against
them at times he put up strenuous
fight, receiving badly damaged eye
and other injuries, so that finally ow-
ing to his weakened physical condi-
tion ,he was obliged to submit to the
indignity.
Eventually Johnson was rescued by
the police, who, during the early part
Of the march simply kept the crowd
moving. He was rushed to Bow Street
station where his injuries were dressed
and he was then able to go home
The occasion for the attack was a
meeting in Essex hall, just off the
Strand, at which debate had been
arranged under the auspices of the
Overseas club and patriotic league
between Mr.. Johnson and =. Mitchell
Banks, lawyer, on '"The How ana
Why of American Prohibition"
The chairman Of the meeting was
F.. A. Mckenzie. He, too, was seized
by the crowd but was soon released.
The meeting had no sooner opened
than there was an uproar. due to the
activities of few young men who
Immediately engaged in heckling, both
prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionis
pleading for order.
Outside the building there were po-
tent signs of pending trouble. A great
crowd of students had gathered, and
after Mr.. Johnson began to speak, hun
dreds of students who evidently were
organized, broke down the iron gates
of the entrance to the hall. brushed
aside the police, charged down the
aisles and seized Johnson and McKen-
zie. These two theyN pelted with bags
of flour They hoisted them into a
wagon and proceeded to Kings col
lege nearby, where both were invited
TO state their case for prohibition to
the students, but were not allowed to
proceed because of the howls.
The rioters then discarded Mckenzie
and mounted Johnson on a plank.
This a stalwart group mounted on
their shoulders and marched through
the Strand, Covent Garden, Leices-
ter square, Picadilly Circus and Ok
ford Circus to Portland street. where
the police intervened and effected a
rescue.

Greatly Appreciated

The Kings secretary, discussing the
visit to- the United States said the
King would never forget his wonderful
reception at New York, which greatly
surpassed the enthusiasm displayed
at Brussels when he entered a year
ago, at the head of his victorious
army. The King had never dreamed
of the possibility of such overflowing
sympathy.
No words could describe his deep
gratitude for the innumerable marks
of Americas friendship for the Bel

pressed by the development of Amer
ican industry and also respect for law,
combined with love of liberty.

Louisville, KY, Nov. I3.-The war
ment acts were attacked again in
Judge Evans federal court here today,
the second day of arguments in a
suit to test their constitutionality. The
suit was brought by w. Marshall Bull
| litt, Louisville, on behalf of the Wright
and Taylor and the Brown-Forman
Distilling companies of this city, and
seeks to prevent government inter-
ference with the sale of nearly mil
lion gallons of tax-paid whiskey owned
by the companies
Judge Evans declared from the
bench yesterday that he was firmly of
the opinion" that war time prohibition
is unconstitutional and indicated a
disposition to grant an injunction re-
straining the government from inter-
fering with the sale of the whiskey
known as flood stock, owned by the
companies.
In similar suit recently Judge
Evans declared the war prohibition act
unconstitutional and granted an in
junction to the Kentucky Distillers
and Warehouse company forbidding
interference by the government with
sale of approximately, 69.O000O0 gal
Ions of whiskey owned by the plaintiff
This case was appealed to the United
States supreme court and, according
to announcement, hearing will be
held on it some time next week, pro-
badly on Nov. 20.
Granting of an injunction in the
present suit would permit sale Of tax
paid whiskey by the two companies.
However, according to announcement
by District Attorney Gregory, 'if the
supreme court reverses Judge Evans
decision on the suit appealed to it by
the government then in my opinion
all persons who sell distilled spirits
between now and the time of rendit-
ion of the opinion by the supreme
court would be liable to prosecution"
