STORM PLAYS HAVOC
WITH THE SHIPS In
LOS ANGELES HARBOR
45-mile Gale Accompanied
by Hail, Ice and
High Seas.

Los Angeles. Feb. 2.-The storm
visiting Southern California, bringing
cold rain, hail and snow to Los An
geles and nearby cities, centered yes
terday afternoon in the local harbor
district, where a 45-mile gale worked
havoc among shipping.
The naval seaplane F-5-L-1, moored
in the outer harbor, broke away under
the lash of the southeastern and piled
up on nearby reef.
A motor sailer and another boat
were sent TO the assistance of the
Seaplane, but ravy tug followed the
plane onto a reel. Another motor
sailer was blown ashore on Dead Mans
island at the mouth of the harbor.
None of these mishaps resulted in the
loss Of life or serious injury.
Hundreds of sailors from the battle
fleet were marooned on shore. unable
10 reach their ships in the gale. which
was accompanied by high seas and
heavy rain. Aboard the transport
Argonne, which arrived in the outer
harbor from the east coast were sew
eral hundred naval passengers unable
TO land.
A heavy hail storm swept the water
front, and considerable ice was seen.

CAN'T DYNAMITE WATTS
Court Ruling Classifies Crime as Arson !;
Is Penitentiary Offense.

Austin, Tex, Feb. "A recent opin-
ion of the Court Of Criminal Appeals.
in which it was held that the blowing
up of a dipping vat by means Of gun
powder or other explosive constitutes
the offense Of arson, will have salu.
tary effect and operate as deterant to
th'.v class of offenses, in the opinion Of
Clifford i. Stone, assistant attorney
general.
The practice Of blowing up these
dipping watts, especially in East Texas,
has been quite prevalent, and little at
tention. was paid to the law on the sub.
ject,' said Assistant Attorney General
Stone. 'as long as the offcnse was class
flied as :. miSdcmesnor. But now that
the Court OF Criminal Appeals has held
that this offense const flutes arson.
which is a penitentiacy offensc. there is
every reason to believe there will be a
decrease in the blowing up Of dipping
vats."
The opinion Of the higher court,
which was handed down last Wednes-
day, was in the case Of ]. A. ID. John
son, from Cass county, and the appel
liant was given n term of two years in
the penitentiary on conviction Of blow
ing up dipping vat.

FRENCH BONDS ACTIVE
Belgian Issues Also Called at Advances
Of ) to 9 Points.

New York. Feb. 1.-The conspicuous
fact of today's bond market was again
the demand for all of the foreign bonds
which had been under pressure until
Wednesday when the news of accep-
lance by Great Britain of the great debt
funding plan appeared.
There was literally scramble 10 buy
back the French and Belgian issues at
prices which this afternoon were in some
cases 8 TO 6 points higher than two
days ago Naturally the largest trad
ing was in the French lbs and French
SIS as the distribution of these bonds
throughout the country has been quite
general. They were l IL to . points
higher with the Department of Seine
IS advancing , IL points and French
city 6S about the same. Even the Jugo-
slovakia Sc which Thursday sold at
- -. compared with their issue price
Of 80 10, rallied.
French internal bonds advanced in
sympathy with the fairly buoyant mar
ket for French exchange. The var
ious Liberty bonds were less affected
than yesterday by bonus bill talk. al
though there will probably be more of
this before Congress adjourns.
