APRIL STORM
HEAVIEST IN
LAST Is YEARS
May Cause Much Delay in
Seeding Says Weather
Observer.

With ten inches Of snow falling be-
tween yesterday and eight o'clock. this
morning, the u. s.. special weather
station at the university records the
largest April snow fall in twenty-five
years.
Just twenty-five years ago today,
April 8, 1894, snow fell to a depth
of 1875 inches, two and a half inches
more than in the storm of yesterday
and early this morning.
The bulk of the snow falling before
midnight last night, the weather bu-
reau finds but three inches of snow
falling this morning. With a north
wind blowing a thirty-eight mile an
hour gale, Professor Simpson, special
U. S. meteorological observer at the
university, typifies yesterdays biz
card as an old fashioned northeast
Ier.'
Will Leave Ground Soaked.
According to Professor Simpson. If
the present warm temperature con-
tinues, today's snow will all be gone
within a very short time. but will
leave the ground in an extremely wet
condition. The storm Of 1894 left the
ground in such a moist condition that
seeding was deferred for three weeks,
which will probably be the case this
year. 49,.
The snowfall for the month of
April, 1894, equalled 1874 inches,
while the total snowfall of April,
1893, totalled 1862 inches, but was
spread over a longer period Of time,
storms occurring on the End, 18th,
18th, Goth and 25th.
The next heaviest fall Of snow re-
corded for April in the past twenty
years came in 1896 when a total
of SIS inches fell, although the
storms of that month occurred a week
apart. In 1904. April's record shows
a total snowfall of 7.3 inches, 6.5
inches coming in one storm. In 1916,
81 inches fell during the month.
Last rear April's record shows but a
trace of snow.
No snow at all fell in April in the
years 1898, 1899, 1900, 1903, 1905.
1905, 1921 and 1915, but a trace Of
snow was recorded in the years 1895,
1897 and 1913.
Storm General.
The snow storm of the last "a hours
was widespread, and telegraphic COM
m~unication and train service were
badly disorganized.
The weather forecast for Wednes-
day is more snow.

Market Strong Following Setback
From Firmer Start.

New York, April 14.-Decidedly op-
timistic special cables from Paris as to
submission of the peace terms to Ger
many made the cotton market strong
today. following a setback after a
f1rmer start.
Late in the day trade interests were
on the buying side and local operators
covered. Strength at New Orleans
also was a factor. October was the
favorite and at one time showed a net
gain OF 81 points compared with an ad-
vance of . points in May.
Commission house business continued

ing in the approach of the Easter holi-
days, extending from Thursday night
until Monday morning.

from the best, but very steady in tone

II you have ever heard Patrick T
Moran deliver a speech. a typical Mo-
ran speech. bristling with enthusiasm,
shrewdness, and sound judgement,
you can hardly believe his own state
ment, regarding his success in busi-
ness.
Il consider it more good luck than
anything else for what success l have
had in life, as in my early business
career people seemed 30 very kind to
me that 1t would have been almost
impossible for an ordinary man not to
succeed" says Moran.
Moran is a former president OF the
Chamber of Commerce and today is
one of its most prominent and active
members. He is the proprietor of a
fuorishing flour and feed establish
ment in Georgetown. owns stock in
many commercial concerns, and that
he has acquired a large share of this
worlds goods Is attested to by the
fact that he is director in a number
of banks and is vice president of the
Lincoln National.
Moran is a speaker of no ordinary
ability. In that respect he would have
made an excellent politician. and many
a public movement for the good of
w aSnlnslOn mas Deen a1Qed ConslQ-
erably by Moran's eloquent appeals
from the platform. He has lots OF
pep" and generally gets action from
others.
Energy. good sense and several
other qualities have advanced Moran
from a penniless orphan to one Of
Washington's leading citizens, his
career has shown, and good luck may
have had share in his success. Not,
however, to the extent he claims.
Moran passed through the school Of
hard knocks. His only education was
acquired in a local Catholic school,
and he was forced to begin life for
himself at an early age.
His first job was in a retail grocer's
store. Later he became a clerk in a
flour mill in Georgetown. Spending
several years in that capacity. he
learned the feed and -four business
and then set up a place of business
on NJ street. in Georgetown. There
he has remained for twenty-five years,
and any week day one can find him
busy collecting the shekels as they
are passed by his clerks through a
window into a rnusty little Office.
Moran is a Knight OF Columbus and
an Elk. lie is n member Of numerous
societies. but takes most interest in
the Hibernian Society. His efforts IN
connection with the freedom for Ire
land movement here are well known.

9 DEMOCRATIC LAWS
SAFE, SAYS MONDELL
New G. o. P. House Leader Out
lines Party's Plans.

Republicans expect to be too busy in
the next Congress ''wiping out the
bad things" to destroy any of the
good Democratic legislation, their
leaders said yesterday.
House Republican Leader Mondell
declared the nine biggest constructive
laws enacted by Congress during the
eight years of Democratic control will
not be destroyed or crippled by the
forthcoming Republican Congress.
Extension and amplifcatioh of some
of the laws in question may be un-
dertaken, he said, but no formal pro-
gram looking to this end has been
formulated.
The nine immune laws as named by
SIondell are:
The Federal reserve act: the parcels
post law; the law creating the Depart
ment of Labor and Children's Bureau q:
the Webb-Kenyon law: the Sherwood
pension act: the law creating the
Federal Trade Commission: the rural
credits law: the law giving States
Federal aid in road building; the
Webb export law, allowing combina-
tions for export trade.
