No Relief in Sight.
ley The Associated Press. .

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Greater New
York succeed only partly today in
freeing itself from the thickest COW
metropolis this winter. Tonight the

arrival before dawn tomorrow of an
other blizzard that would lay a cOun-
terpane of sleet and snow over the
heavy white blanket which already
hides the streets and sidewalks and
clogs traffic lines throughout the met
ropolitan district
All modern snow fighting equipment
that science has devised was carried
into battle today by more than 10000
workmen who struggle dto release the
streets and railway tracks from the
hard packed snow and high drifts that
clogged them.
The New York Central sent out To-
comotives equipped with a new melt
ing device to burn snow off it's tracks.
Brooklyn and Staten Island seemed
to suffer most from the blight of the
storm. Staten Island was without milk
and the food supplies, cut from their
sources since Saturday, were dwiu-
ding tonight from a rush of buyers
Transportation on the island was al
most suspended
Communication trains. which operate
over spider-web of tracks in Queens
and suburban Long Island, had hard
time of it, and on some lines there was
no service.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Benny Kauff,
New York National fielder, who was
indicted a year ago in connection with
the theft of an automobile will be un-
able to accompany the other Giants

today that he must stand trial late
this month or early in March.
Kauff was indicted Feb. 10. 1920,
and his counsel in asking for a later
trial, contended that, as the case could
have been tried earlier it would be an
injustice to hold the trial at this time
and thus impair his clients livelihood
by preventing him from getting spring
