New York, Dec. Thousands Of
volunteer snow handlers were called
to the shoyels to-day to help dig New

paralyze all transportation.
The storm took its toll of hundreds
of injured. From early last evening
until daybreak hospital ambulances
were bringing in pedestrians with
broken arms, FRACTURED legs or
cracked skulls, who had fallen victims
to the treachery of ice covered streets.
Most hospitals were crowded TO capa-
city, and the problem of caring for new
arrivals became increasingly grave as
the list OF injured mounted.
At least two persons are reported to
have been killed in falls on the city's
thoroughfares.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. ga vote
before night on the Borah proposal for
world economic conference, which is
opposed by the administration, was
sought by Senate leaders to-day while
the third days debate on the project
proceeded with increasing fury. As
''irrcconcilable" colleagues Of Senator
Borah hurled broadsides at his plan as
embodied in an amendment to the ma

managers negotiated quietly for a roll
call before adjournment and recess
over New Years day.
Senator johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, who fought shoulder to shoul-
der with Senator Borah against the
league Of nations, opened to-day's for
ensic battle with two-fisted attack
on the conference plan. The proposal,
said Senator johnson, was worse than
the league and more likely to ''embroil
us in European controversies and

$50 years, part of the European sys-

would sJeopardize our future"

BARRE TRAINS WERE
RUNNING LATE
Because Of the Big Snowfall Which
Drifted Badly-Street Car Serv-
ice Maintained.

Train schedules were disrupted gem
orally in Vermont by the big snow
storm which continued all day yester-
day and during part of to-day. The
snow was light and drifted badly under
the drive of strong wind from the
northeast. The fall in and about Barre
is estimated to have been over twelve
inches.
The Central Vermont trains on the
Barre branch were anywhere from one
TO four hours late this morning, and
one train coming to Barre was held
up for time by drifts.
The trolley system between Barre
and Montpelier was kept open after
much effort and the cars were running
to-day although somewhat off sched-
ule. Motor traffic had some difficulty
getting through the heavy aceumula
tion, but the large number in operation
in Barre soon reduced Main street to q
fairly passable thoroughfare.

7O-MILE GALE
LASHED ALL
NEW ENGLAND
Snow Was Piled Up in
Some Places To a Depth
of Two Feet--Street Car
Stalled All Night in Drift
/, Near Salem - S t e a m
Train Service Was Bad
ly Disarranged

Boston, Dec. 29.--The norv =
blizzard that piled up snow or drove
in rain and sleet over most Of New
England last night had blown itself
nearly out to-day, leaving one schoon-
er wrecked on Cape Cod, railroad,
trolley and steamship services dis
turbed, and at least three storm
caused fatalities.
For storm so severe-yelocities OF
10 miles an hour being recorded in
some places, and the fall of snow ap-
7toaching two feet in others--its ef-
f5rts were considered light. As the
center OF the storm had moved to-
day east of Cape Cod, heading further
out to sea, its records viii not go
down with those of the bigger storms
Of recent years in damage done, yet in
its meteorological aspects it stands
with those.
The wrecking OF the schooner Annie
L. Spindler, hailing from Yarmouth,
N. S., at Race Point, near the tip of
Cape Cod, was the only storm casual
ty of Importance along the New Eng
land coast. Her crew of six men were
brought ashore by breeches buoy. They
had spent most Of the night lashed to
the riggings in the storm which was
recorded officially at Highland Light
rs blowing 70 miles an hour.
The municipal steamer Monitor, used
in transporting prisoners to the house
of correction at Deer Island, was
blown across Boston harbor from her
anchorage at the island TO Merry
Point, in Quincy bay. She fetched up
high and dry. There was no one
aboard. Shipping out of this port was
at virtual standstiil.
The railroads suffered delays that
ran to four and six hours on long
haul trains, but no tie-ups were re-
ported. Trolleys, however, were tied
up at many places on inteI-urban and
country runs, due TO drifts that
reached heights of several feet.
At Salem, where a one-man car was
stalled on Gardner hill last night,
some Of the passengers had TO be put
up over night by nearby residents,
while others trudged several miles to
finish their journeys. The line was
dug out to-day, tut service on the
Danvers to Middleton and Lawrence
line was blocked.
Telephone, telegraph and electric
power and lighting companies had mi
nor troubles as compared witt the
prostration of the ice storm last win
ter. The Cape Cod services, however,
were hard hit and at New Bedford |
telephone service to 500 subscribers
was cut off.

MAINE DIGGING OUT.
Snowfall at Portland Up to Noon Was
1863 Inches.

Portland, Me. Dec. %, The state
of Maine to-day was digging out aft
er storm of the old-fashioned yari-
ETY., which began late Wednesday and
probably win be over by night.
Along the coast here the wind
reached velocity of 65 miles an hour
at Rockland and 80 at Eastport, the
storm equalled in intensity the bliz-
zard of November, 1898, when the
passenger steamer Portland was lost
with all on board while bound here
from Boston.
The snowfall here amounted to 1863
inches up TO noon, but in the rural
or more exposed sections the drifts
running as high as six or eight feet
caused the big snow rollers and tri-
angular plows to be brought into ac-
tion.
The cold wave, ranging from ~ de-
grees at the weather bureau to below
zero in other places, kept the snow
dry and as result the telephone
company was one of the few public
utilities which weathered the storm
practically without damage.
Passenger trains, however, with the
rails packed deeply with snow by the
gale, were delayed everywhere on the
Maine Central and Boston and Maine
systems, officials said, running from
one to eight hours late. All freight
service was cancelled. The situation
was described as one Of the worst for
years: With every snow pillow in op-
GRAFTON and augmented crews digging

STUMBLED ON MANS BODY.
When He Went Onto Haymow, Dead
Man Henry, Buxton of Saxtons River.

Bellows Falls, Dec. 29.---A rather
gruesome find resulted from Fred
Richardson's call for hay for his horse
at his small barn on the Springfield
river road Wednesday afternoon, when
upon climbing into the hay NOW he
stumbling upon the body Of dead
man, wrapped snugly in old blankets
and canYas. The body was later ident-
ifed by checks in the clothes as that
Of Henry Buxton of Saxtons River,
who has been missing as far as any
one can learn since quitting work five
or six weeks ago on the Joseph Sever
ance and Elmer Weston farms.
About $50 in cash and checks were
on his person and as there were no
marks of violence it is believed the
man died of exhaustion and exposure.
The body was poorly clad and had
evidently been lying in the hay sever
al weeks.
The dead man, who was brother OF
George s. Buxton of Saxtons River,
had lived in this vicinity for many
years. His age is estimated at about
10 years. There is no known reason,
for the mans being in the hay NOW,
except that on one other accession It is
reported he had concealed himself in a
barn on the upper Saxtons River road
from Rockingham and had been dis
covered there in serious condition.
The fact that there we're no tracks
in the snow about the shack gives an
idea Of the length Of time he must
have been dead. Mr.. Richardson, who
found the body, had not been near the
shack in several weeks and by mere
chance stopped there Wednesday to
get hay for his horse.
Mr.. Buxton had been an inmate OF
the Brattleboro Retreat.
