ROAD WEATHER
BUREAU PLANNED
Highway Bulletin Will Contain Con-
ditiOn Of Roads And Weeks
Weather Forecast
Associated Press

BOSTON, Feb. "A highway-wea-
ther bulletin, containing both the pre-
vailing condition of roads and a
weeks forecast of probable condi-
tions, has been inaugurated by the
United States weather bureau as an
aid to motorists throughout New Eng
land. For several weeks tourists and
truckmen about to start on long trips
have been able to learn what sort of
going to expect in the various sec
tions, the depth of snow, the presence
of ice, whether roads are passable or
detours necessary, whether roughness
is being worn down or drifts are in
the making. The service has been so
successful that, it is understood, it
will be extended to other sections of
the country on the same broad scale.
The system of road information
contained in the New England High
way Weather Bulletin is based on a
plan used overseas for the benefit of
motor conveys. 1t is in charge of
Louis w. Carroll, who served in
France on meteorological duty which
included service of this kind. The
idea was tried out in a small way in
western states, but New England is
the first section to be included in a
general forecast and survey and the
result here has been awaited to de-
termine whether other groups of sta
tin.
By use of the statement of road
conditions and forecast, a person con-
temPlating trip by road to any part
of New England may learn what lies
ahead. A motor truckman with a con-
tract to move a load from Boston to
Bangor can learn whether there is
much or little snow on the Maine
roads, if they are mud-rutted as a re-
suit of rain, or in a condition for a
quick haul; and if weather changes
are likely to help or hinder the trip.
Similarly, motor tourist contem-
plating a trip through. the White
Mountains instead Of starting off into
the unknown, will know in advance
whether rain or snow has, or is like
ly 20 impose burdens on travel, and
may postpone the trip or so shape it
as to avoid sections in which condi-
tions are shown to be unfavorable.
All main routes of highway traffic
from Maine to Rhode Island are COW
cred in the detailed summary of pre-
vailing conditions.
The amount of snow in the several
sections is indicated by a map, with
varied shadings arranged to show
whether the snow blanket is less than
three inches, between three and six
inches, or over six inches deep. In
the spring the presence of frost and
mud will be Indicated; in summer
conditions of rain and road repairs.
Observers are posted at 200 places
throughout New England from which
they send in weekly reports covering
conditions of weather and information
as to roads that are impossible.

THE MOORHEAD
CONNECTIONS TO
Remain disturbed-RailrOad Com
mission Rescinds Order Recently
Made-PrOtests Citizens Granted,

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 3-After an
almost all-day- hearing in the case
of sundry plaintiffs against the rail-
road commission and the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley Railroad Company,
before the railroad commission on
Tuesday, relative to the proposed
change of schedule on the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley, the commission
Tuesday afternoon held that the or
ders of Jan. 6 should be rescinded. The
little IL by 18-foot room in which the
commission conducts its hearings,
when the Senate is in session, was
crowded to the doors, at both sessions,
with men standing two or three deep
around the table. There were men
from Moorhead, Indianola, Clarksdale,
around the table. There were men
Yazoo City, Belzoni, Greenwood,
Jackson and other points, who testi-
fled before the commission. It was
demonstrated that the going into eff
feet of the proposed change Of sched-
ule would benefit certain points along
the Yazoo delta and Clarksdale- Jack
son branches, at the expense and in
convenience of other localities, in that
area, and that the proposed Moorhead
connection seemed feasible.
Among the last of those who dis
cussed the matter was Col. A. H.
Eagan general superintendent of the
system, who was thoroughly impair
tial in his summary~of the situation
He declared that under present con-
ditions in the great delta territory,
it would be impossible to devise a
schedule that would be satisfactory
to all, that some would undoubtedly
feel the pinch of the shoe.

Mobile Courts Are
Established Vienna

VIENNA, Feb. Mobile courts
have been established here to expedite
trial of persons charged with illegal
pricing of fixed price articles. They
consist of three members, one a mer-
chant or business expert, and if the
verdict is unanimous there is no ap-
peal. The regular courts are so con-
gested with cases of this character
that the calendar never could be clear
ed.
A curious result of this delay was
shown in a case tried the other day.
The merchant was charged with ov-
er-pricing last June. In the trial his
counsel showed that the article in
question now sells for five times more
than the price he then asked.

VIENNA MONEY
BROKER ROBBED
The Story OF The Confidence Which
Was Worked Is Good AS
A Play.
Associated Press

VIENNA, Feb. "A Vienna money
broker was robbed of 100000 rubles
the other day in a political plot to
Obtain control of the Ukrainian lega-
ton here. The story as worked out
by the police is as good as a play.
The scheme was the familiar conf
dence game Of inducing the broker
to violate the law and of seizure of
the money by criminals disguised as
gendarmes.
A supposed Ukranian general re-
Gently arrived in Vienna and engaged
with money broker to buy up to
100000 rubles. 1t is illegal in Aus
tria to deal in foreign money or to
have it in private possession, and all
foreign exchange is done through
authorized banks. The broker agreed
to have the amount in hand on GER
tain day. He lived and conducted his
business in a hotel.
On the appointed afternoon, but a
little ahead of time, man in the
uniform of Ukranian Colonel called
on the broker and saluting said he
had come for General KS money
They sat down to table to check the
money, when the door was opened and
two gendarmes walked in and placed
both under arrest on the charge OF
possessing and dealing in foreign
money.
The broker begged and protested
and finally was told to appear ir
court on the following day, his recoro
being taken with the greatest care
and particulars. But the ColonePs
protests were nnavailing. He storm
ed and invoked his nationality in vain
The two policemen gathered up the
money, counted it and, giving re.
ceipt, told the broken to appear
promptly before the authorities.
Then, taking the Colonel, they left
An hour later the broker woke up tx
| the fact that the Colonel and the tive
gendarmes were takers and he hac
been robbed of some 100000 rubles
The Vienna police is efficient in thi:
kind of thing and in a day or two hat
gathered in two Of the swindlers, bu
not the one with the money. Working
on the case they finally ascertainet
that the money was to be used fol
political ends. The plan, according
to the police reports, was plot t
seize the Ukranian legation here b.
an opposing political faction, get pos
session of the records and seals an
