Icy winds and temperature thai
dropped to the 7-degrec mark kept
New York shivering yesterday. The
raw January gale that swept the city
reached q Velocity OF nearly seventy
miles an hour and served to make
everybody believe the day colder thar
it really vas
The Hudson was frozen over for
many miles, and ferry service was
suspended in the upper river. Al
Nyach, where the rivers width is
greatest, ice wss rapidly forming. and
it vas expected that the river at this
point would be completely frozen over
BY this morning.
A slight rise in temperature is pre-
dicted for to-day, and the winds are
expected to be less severe. The mer-
curry, however, will not rise to the
freezing point. The highest tempera-
ture recorded yesterday was 16 degrees
al $3.50 p. m. The mercury stood at
degrees at 9 a. m. and 10 degrees at
9 p. m.
The lowest mark of the winter thus
far is degrees, which was recorded
December 80. The low mark for Jan
uary, 1921, also was degrees.
Five hundred and fifty men, eigh
teen women and one child were given
shelter in the Municipal Lodging
House in East Twenty Street,
last night. Because of the intense
cold the usual meal of bread and cof-
fee was changed TO bowls Of mutton

 Sometime in September Harring- ton left Mayo for Dawson, taking with him the wife of neighbor, the understanding being that the woman was to remain in Dawson until join ed by her husband a few days later. But when the husband reached the Yukon metropolis 1t was to learn that Harrington had continued on down the mighty Yukon and that he had been accompanied by the wo- man.
 Believing that the couple were bound for the outside by the way of Fairbanks. the injured husband came up the river and on to Juneau, arriving here about the 10th or 18th of October. He told his story to Q number of persons including District Attorney A. c. Shoup. The latter made inquiry by wire and learned that the couple had been in Fair banks. but were en route to the coast on their way to the outside. Later word came that they were pas sengers on the Northwestern due to pass through Juneau Seattle-bound last Saturday. A warrant was issued for Harrington's arrest which was effected when the steamer arrived about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 Harrington was taken to jail and the woman continued on south on the Northwestern. the injured hus- band Lowing for the south on the Princess Mary Sunday morning.

CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES
 ARE BEING LET OUT

Washington. Nov. II.-The num- Der of civil service employees on the Government rolls Cexclusive of Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and leg isIative empIoyees) is now 559,66S, the smallest number since the Unit ed States entered the war. At the time of the armIstice, November Il. 1918. the number was 9l776O. The number of separations in the last four years has been 358,O97.
 The civiI-service employees in Washington number GS,7lS. Separa- tions in Washington. the chief cen ter for Federal employees, are pro ceeding at the rate of 400 a month.
 At the beginning of the war there were 10000 employees in Washing ton. Because of war activities the number jumped to II7,76O. The re- duction has been slow, and the fig ure never will be so low as it was In 1916. because of the new activities of the Government as a result of the war. The chief additions have been in the Treasury Department and in the Veterans Bureau. There will be further reduction in the forces of the War department, the Navy de partment, the United States Ship ping Board, the Railroad Admiuis- tratiou. and the Alien Property Gus todian's office. It is thought that 6O.OOO clerks will be the level fin ally to be reached in Washington and 475,OOO for the Nation.
