PRIEST IS KILLED
UNDER TRAIN HERE
Former D. c. Clergyman
Falls Under Moving Wheels
at Union Station.

Rev. c. E. Boone, former assistant
pastor of the Holy Comforter Church
here and until recently professor of
timore. was killed instantly today
when he fell beneath a moving train
at Union Station. An inquest this
afternoon will determine how he met
his death.
According to Capt. r. E. Owen of
the terminal police, the priest had
just arrived from Florida. He called
for a telegraph boy, and Robert
Shakleford, messenger, boarded the
train.
Dictated Message.
Father Boone, according to the mes
senger, had the boy write out the
following message to st. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore: Have some
one meet me. Pennsylvania train, 10
o'clock, Union station. c. e. Boone"
The boy got off the train and Father
Boone followed. T. C. Mattingly, a
car inspector, told the station au-
thorities that Father Boone alishted
from the train and appeared to throw
himself under the moving wheels.
Miss Louise F. Dyer, sister of Rev.
Edward r. Dyer, head of the Sui
pician Order of which Father Boone
was a member. said Father Boone
had been in Florida because of i'll
health. She said that in his youth
he had been badly bitten by a shark
and that lately he had experienced
Guilty in starting to walk. some-
times lurching forward. This, Miss
Dyer believes, caused the accident.
Taken to Morgue.
The only means of Identification
was the telegram and railroad tickets
and baggage checks. The baggage
had gone on through to Baltimore.
The body was taken to the morgue
for an inquest.
Father Boone was a former profess
sor of theology at st. Mary's Semi
nary, Baltimore, and the founder OF
ST. Mary's Camp, a health camp in
the Adirondacks for sick priests.

MIDWEST IN GRIP
OF DRIVING STORM
Cities Isolated, Wires Down,
SIeet Heavy From Min
neSota to Texas.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. February 4.-The worst
storm of the winter. from many an
giles, swept the country from Mime
sofa to Texas today. With its center
in Missouri. sleet and wind played
havoc with communications and cold
err weather set in in the northwest.
Many cities and towns were isolated
by sleet -burdened wires.
The high wind. according to wealth
err bureau reports. did almost as much
damage as sleet, and reached veloc-
ity of forty-eight miles an hour in
Chicago and ranged from 80 ,e 40
miles an hour over much of the other
territory affected, which includes
Minnesota. Wisconsin, North Dakota,
Iowa, Illinois. Nebraska, Kansas. Mis-
souri, and southwestward into Texas.
Started on Saturday.
The storm developed in the west
last Saturday and has assumed wide
sissippi valley. although the situation
is clearing up in western Ne
braska While precipitation has been
widespread 1t has not been heavy,
although about three inches of snow
have fallen in the western and north
ern portions of the affected district,
with snow and sleet and rain and high.
shifting winds in other portions.
All telegraph wires failed between
Chicago and Milwaukee. and in north
ern Wisconsin. a large strip of terri
tory was isolated. Telegraph wires out
of Chicago had no connection with Des
Moines, Iowa, and points west until
late in the morning, when communica-
tion with Omaha, Neb.. was estab-
lished. The Rocky mountain area, al
though itself not affected severely by
the storm conditions. and the far west
were out of communication with Chi
cago and the middle west.
Cold Wave From North.
The colder weather in the northwest
is due to cold wave pushing south
ward from Canada, but it is of limited
proportions. according to weather re-
ports. Another cold wave has been
sighted in Alaska, but it is several
days distant from the United States
and too far away for weather fore
casters to predict what it's effect
may be.

Congress today stilled the turmoil

The Senate oil investigating COM

him further under the resolution
authorizing the inquiry was chal-
lenged Saturday by Albert B. Fall,
Secretary of the Interior at the time
the oil leases were arranged, will not
meet until tomorrow. 1t had decided
to ask the Senate for re-adoption of
the resolution today, but this plan
necessarily was changed and leaders
of the inquiry announced that the
session called for tomorrow would be
a brief one, adjourning to await ac-
ton on its request for renewal of
its authority. Afterwards, it was
said. the committee intends to make

After Long Vigil Beside Deathbed

against death, rode with her in the
car. The skies were cloudless and
winter lent only a bracing tang of
cold to the air. The grief-stricken
woman had need for the tonic ma
ture gave her at the end Of her long
vigil.
Through all the 'tidings that come
from the Wilson home as the former
President sank hour by hour toward
his last sleep, there was a word of
admiration for the high courage and
utter devotion of the woman who has
given so lavishly of her strength dur
ing the long years of illness and pain.
Those who stood with her in the last
struggle against the inevitable could
not hold back their recognition CT her
spirit. And 1t was this that was in
mems minds today as they saw her
pass in the streets.

ORLANDO STILL RESENTS
PEACE TABLETREATMENT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fress.
ROME, February 4.-Prof. Vittorio
Orlando, the former premier of Italy,
who was chief representative of that
country at the Versailles conference,
has declined to make a public state
ment on the passing of Woodrow
Wilson. For several days he shas
been besieged by correspondents
seeking a message on the former
President, and in consequence left
ONE and retired to his villa in the
country.
Speaking to friends, however, the
former premier said he was unable to
help the feeling of resentment
which he had against Woodrow Will
son, whom he charged with injustice
against Italy, as he had denied to
her what he had allowed to other
countries, which were permitted to
annex territories containing a larger
number Of Germans, Hungarians,
Bulgarians, or similar nationals, than
would have been the case If Italy had
annexed Fiume.
Orlando added that he preferred to
keep quiet rather than emphasize the
tragedy closed by death.
