NEWYORKERSUN|TE
IN BATTLE ON SNOW
Stores and Truck Owners Put
Machines to HauIing-clerks
Weld ShoveIs
HOUSEWIVES SAVE FOOD
BY the Associated Press

New York, Feb. 7.-Snowbound New
York marshaled all its forces today in a
prodigous effort to extricate itself from
the parslyzing grip of a storm that has
reminded old timers of the classic bliz-
zard Of 1888.
Spurred by Mayor Hylan's proclama-
tion urging the suspension of all but
vitally necessary trucking traffic for a
period of three days, big trucking cor
porations, the great metropolitan de-
partment stores and others turned over
their autotrucks and drivers to cart the
snow to piers where steamship COM
panies loaned their employees for the
task of dumping it into the harbor.
Hundreds of stores set their employees
to work with shovels. The street clean
ing department, still short of about
~, 200 shovelers, renewed its efforts to
induce more men to join the ranks.
Special attention was given to digging
fire hydrants out of great piles of snow.
Trucking in the city's snow filled
streets was restricted to those engaged
in moving food, fuel, milk and news
papers. Private passenger cars, except
those used by physicians, have been
placed under the embargo until Tuesday
morning.
The traction companies, worn out by
the strenuous efforts of three days,
struggled grimly to restore traffic on the
surface lines to something approaching
the normal and succeeded in a measure.
Lines of street cars, frozen to the rails
for day or more in the heart of the
city, told the story of the company s
tribulations.
Many outlying towns, however, still
were isolated early today, and every
hour brought fresh tales of woe from
seashore resorts, where great tides had
caused desolation and added to the
hardships wrought by the snow and
ice.
Snow covered trains from the West
and New England crept into the rail-
way terminals hours behind their sched-
ules. Hotels were crowded beyond ca
pacity, due largely to the inability of
many commuters to reach their homes

"While cchsiderablc progress has
bean made IN the last two days BY the
city Ia removing the snow from the
streets In the business section, little or
no work has been performed by the con-
tractors in other portions. The con-
tractors are not giving us any assistance
whatever, and the situation rs becom-
ing serious. / have issued order
after order directing the contractors to
clear the street intersections in their
districts, and clean the inlets, but as
far as can see they have not done a
thing"
1.-THE street crossings all over town
are in disgraceful condition. Persons
using them. have. to wade through snow
up to their ankles. Suppose thaw
was to come. with the inlets choked
with dirt and ice; why, the streets
would be knee deep with water. And it
is all because these contractors have re-
fused to obey orders issued from this
department to put men on the job.
"It doesn't pay to treat these con
tractors with kindness, so l have noti-
fed them both by letter and telephone to
meet Director Winston and myself at
my office tomorrow morning. and we
viii find out what they mean by falling
down on their jobs. do not propose
to dilly daily with them any longer,
They cannot do any street cleaning work
now, but they can keep the intersections
clear Of snow, and propose to have
them do it, or I will know the reason
why"
While the conference was going on
this morning the sun came out for the
first time in days "a welcome visitor,
and under it's influence the snow and
ice began to melt. Mild temperatures
and tonight, but the bright sunshine
of today is destined to be partly hid
den tomorrow by clouds, according to
the forecaster.

passengers and seventy two members Of
coast guard cutter Manhattan, two navy
tugs, a police patrol boat and two pri-
vate tugs were nearby. The weather is
clear.
The. condition of the beach, blocked
with ice and snow and the continued
thrush of the high waves, makes It i'm
possible to land the passengers by surf
boats. The only way they can be as
sisted, coast guard officials said, is from
the sea side.
The position Of the vessel, inside one
bar and resting on the back of another
nearer the beach, makes rescue excep-
tionally difficult because tugs cannot
get alongside the ship and the use of
small boats is necessary.

Daniels Says Sims
Dispardged Irish

wrote asking whether he should return
the medal to the king.
Mr.. Daniels said he replied that in
view of the action taken, presumably
before President Wilson's request
reached the king, there was nothing that
could be done and that. of course, the
decorations already accepted could not
be returned. He expressed the hope
at the time. he said, that no other for
eign decorations would be given, except
such as might be awarded for courage
GUS conduct in battle.
Admiral Sims was in favor of for
eign decorations for American naval of :
ficers, Mr.. Daniels continued. holding
that they would help the morale. Mr..
Daniels told the committee he opposed
this view and that Admirals Rodman
and Strauss were reluctant to accept
decorations from the King of England.
When Mr.. Daniels completed his pre-
pared statement he was cross -ques
| toned by the committee. He conceded
that Admiral Sims had served where
ordered and said that he meant no re-
Fiction by his previous testimony that
the admiral had served most of his time
on shore duty.
Regrets Sims Recommendation
every word that l have said of Ad-
miral Sims's ability and brilliancy in
certain lines is true" Mr.. Daniels ad-
mitted. but had l known what has
developed since I shouldn't have recon-
mended that he be made an admiral for
life. I wish to give some reasons why
I would not make that recommendation
now:
Zone reason is a statement made re-
Gently in the House of Representatives
by Representative Byrnes, in which he
said that while in Paris in October;
| 1918, he talked to Admiral Sims, and
Sims praised the British army highly,
declaring that an armistice would have
to be signed because Pershing had been
unable to break through the German
| line, due to a breakdown in the Ameri-
can service of transportation and greatly
minimizing the service of the American
navy in the war.
"Afterward. Representative Byrnes
said. he visited Pershing's headquarters
and learned that Sims's charge was en-
tirely unfounded.
Six to Whom Navy Owes Most
There were six men to whom the
first is Admiral Benson, who directed
operations. The second is Admiral
Mayo. who commanded the Atlantic
feet durin gthe war. Then there was
Admiral Sims, who we selected because
he had a large acquaintance abroad
Then there is Admiral Wilson.
"To give you the whole story, VIZ
decided to send Wilson abroad, as thu
man of the best poise among younger
officers. We intended to put him il
charge of the cruiser force, to protec
our ships. And then there was Ad'
miral Rodman, in charge of dread
aughts, and then there was Admira
Gleaves, who directed the transport.
Turning to Admiral Sims's recon
mendations for awards for American
officers, Daniels said the admiral never
made a single recommendation for dec
orations in accordance with the law. >
He never set forth any specific &C
or service of an officer in his recon
mendations until the knight board ad
journed." declared the secretary. "Hii
recommendations just named the mer
without any reason"

For two hours Chief Hepburn and
the contractors wrangled over the con
dition of the streets. Chief Hepburn
accused them of "wirlful neglect, re-
sulting in disgraceful conditions. D." They
answered that they had been unable to
obtain sufficient men to do the work re-
quired.
Chief Hepburn called the attention of
the contractors to clauses in their con-
tracts requiring them to maintain a
working force. winter and summer, suf-
ficient to keep the streets clean. He
charged that they had laid off a large
proportion of their men for the winter
months and had been caught shos4 :
handed in the present emergency. He
emphasized their obligation. under the
terms of their contract, to clean the
street intersections and free sewer open
ings and fireplugs of snow during win =

Contracts Overlap
After the conference Chief Hepburn
and the contractors visited Director
Winston, of the Department of Public
Works, and told him what had taker

ignored the fagman who had gone
back with a red lantern. Railroad
officials announced that the block
signals had been inspected after the
wreck and found to be in working
order and set against the express
train.
