 Notwithstanding the clear weather since Wednesday, when five inches of snow fell in northern New England, the railroads have had difficulty which increased hourly. No attempt has been made to maintain schedules on the Boston S6 Maine railroad, where drifting snow has blocked lines again after they were cleared. Many trains were cancelled yesterday and many branch lines in the rural districts were suspended.
 The New York, New Haven & Hart ford railroad, while maintaining a nearly regular passenger schedule has been handicapped by the lack of freight cars. Officials of the road said that thousands of cars, filled and empty, were stalled on the sidings and at the functions and that they had been able only to keep the main lines clear.

KAISER'S ESTATE IS VALUED AT
 MILLION MARKS

Berlin, Feb. 2S-The value of the estates which belonged to the former German Emperor and his family may reach 1,Ooo,O 100000 marks. In at tempting to fix the compensation to Count Hohenzollern for that part of his private property taken over by the state, the auth critics have ex- perienced difficulty in deciding what part belonged to the Crown and how much was strictly private.
 The difficulty arose in part from the fact that the appraisers have had to inventory properties which have been accumulating for five centur- ieS
 The settlement will be dictated, it is stated, by desire to offer to the HohenzoLerns a generous adjustment. Their acquiescence is said to have been obtained to the bill in the Prus- 1 sian Diet to pay the former Emper- or 10e,oo0,ee0 marks for property ! taken and permit him to retain a
 number of castles, real estate and | personal property.

TABOR STRIKES STEAMER HULL
 AND IS SUNK

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Feb. 2S- The barge Tabor, coal-laden for Portland, Me, in tow of the tug Le- nape, was sunk last night in collision off Tarpaulin Cove with the hull of the steamer Dover, which was being lowed from Boston to Providence.
 The five men on the Tabor had barely time to cut away their dory and abandon the vessel before it went down. After they had been driven before the northwest gale for three hours in zero weather, they pulled into Vineyard Haven harbor nearly exhausted and found refuge for the night on board a tug.
 The Dover, which was in tow of the tug Barryton, parted her hawser when the collision occurred and was blown on Martha's Vineyard Island, two miles west of West Chop, where she rested in three feet of water. The six men on board suffered no hard ship. The Dover, a wooden steamer hull which was built for the Shipping g Board, was on her way to Providence to be made into a barge.
 The Tabor will be a total loss. She was one of a tow of three banges and carried 1 ,48O tons of steam coal con- signed to the Maine Central Railroad Com Dany.

GAMBLING CRAZE
 SPREADS OVER
 WHOLE OF AIN

Madrid, Feb. 27-This' country, the men and women of which have the reputation of being willing to put their last peseta on some game of chance, has never witnessed such a wave of gambling as that which is now flowing over the country and has been in existence since the conclusion of the war. Casinos have been erect edaon the borders of the larger cit ies, so as not to interfere with the concessions in the cities. These gam bling houses are crowded during the afternoons and evenings and until late in the morning with men and women playing games in which the odds against them make it impossl- bIe for any but the extremely lucky to win.
 The newspapers have started a campaign against this gambling in Madrid especially where, as one news paper put it, "Men and women are pauperized in gambling houses which 1 operate under government license and then turned on the streets to beg.'

Paris, Feb. 27 Strong protests against arbitrary action of the Ru- manian military authorities in Tran sylvania'' have been sent to the su- preme allied council in London by the Hungarian delegation here. Immedi- ate attention of the council to the sit uation is demanded.
 ''We have just received from our government" the note says, "a. tele- gram from which we transmit the fol- lowing extract'':
 "At Maros-Vasarhel ely, Rumanians have arrested Andrew Urgon and a man named Paterban for having given pecuniary aid and support to public officials dismissed from office by Rumanians because they would not take the oath of allegiance" says the note. t'The pretext given for the ar rests is that military conspiracy was contem plated. The persecution of Magyars has assumed incredible di- mensions. Major Boros and Stephen and Alexander Morio, bank directors, have been arrested at Dees, while Lieutenant Veres is being detained al Nagylonda-
