worse and it Is believed that death
cannot be held off more than a few
days longer, said Central News
dispatch from Stockholm today

A telegram direct from Moscow
said that Lenin's temperature had
risen to 90 and that this increase
had eXerted weakening effect
upon his general condition.
There is much political activity
at Moscow and Petrograd. Accord
ing to advices from Copenhagen,
quoting the Danish newspaper
Politiken, steps already have been
taken by Leon Trotzky, commissar
for war, to establish military
dictatorship in the event of Lenin's
death. TrotZky argues that this
drastic action is necessary to save

ing activities of the monarchists."

Easter Brings Rush

Bureau

Eastertide always brings a
rush of marriage license appli-
cants to the court house, and
this year is no exception to the
rule. From the time the doors
are opened, lads and lassies of
various ages and races, and
hailing from Washington as
we'll as Maryland, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania and other places,
present themselves at the desk
of Colonel Knoll, and being
sworn to tell "the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but
the TRUTH" and paying 81 for
the license, depart.
Colonel Knoll was still busy
with a long line of applicants
waiting when the doors of his
office officially closed at II
o'clock today. Being of SYM
pathetic nature, however, he
had not the heart to turn those
who were waiting away, so he
went on working overtime.

CHILLY D. c.
EASTER
LOOMS
Weather Bureau Says Frigid
Spell Will Continue Over
Sunday:

The c0ldest Easter Day III the
history Of the United States
Weather Bureau is in prospect.
Today is the coolest March 81
ever recorded in Washington, the
temperature at z o'clock this
morning dropping to Fl degrees,
IL degrees below freezing and 5
degrees below the lowest temper
allure ever recorded on the last day
of March. The previous record
was recorded on March 81, 1915,
when a minimum of 26 degrees
was recorded.
Wind Adds To Cold.
The fact that today's record shat
tering low temperature is accom-
panied by unusually high WINS from
the north and northwest, bearing
with them the tail end Of a bitter
cold wave which yesterday sent
the thermometers at Duluth to IL
degrees below zero.
The wind has been registering
steadily between 80 and 36 miles
an hour all night, with occasional
guests as high as 40 miles an hour,
instruments in the observatory at
the Weather Bureau show. The
wind increased in velocity after
sunrise and shortly after o'clock
was registering thirty-six miles an
hour and above.
With the heat of the cold wave
at hand, the prospect for tomorrow
is even less encouraging. 1t is
probable that today's low tempera'
ture will be exceeded tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning. according to
present Indication, will probably
find the temperature at about ~
degrees and the thermometer will
not rise even to the freezing point
before early afternoon.
To Continue Fair.
Even should the temperature to-
morrow only reach freezing, twelve
degrees above the point predicted,
Easter will be the coolest since
1909. Though freezing temperatures
were recorded that day. the Their
mometer stood at 26 above zero for
part of the day.
The weather tomorrow will con
tinue fair. with steadily decreasing
winds through the afternoon. The
cold wave, which is general through
out the country, will be broken Mon
day and more spring-like weather
is in prospect for the early days OF
next week.
During the past five years Easter
Day has been marked by pleasant
weather, except for Easter Sunday
| April 4, 1921, when northeast
storm brought heavy rain and 9
maximum temperature of 81 de
grees. The warmest Easter Sunday
during the last seventeen years was
March q, 1912, when 86 degrees
was recorded, During this whole
period rain fell on but five of the
seventeen Easter Sundays, including
