Radio Comes TO
Rescue as Mid
West Isolated
BY United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The west to-
day WAS digging itself out of i
snow blanket, in drifts of from one
to ten feet III depth, and at the
same stime- felt around for avenues
Of communication with the outside.
Swarms of telephone and tele-
graph repaircmen labored i'll snow
and cold in desperate efforts to
link scores of cities which had
lost touch with Chicago and sur
rounding towns.
Wireless stations in Chicago, Mil
waukee and Minneapolis sought to
replace the fallen electric wires.
They sent out limited news dos-
patches ard broadcasted relief mes
sages.
Near Waupaca, Wis, two South
Line passenger trains were reported
snowbound. Word OF their plight
was received here via the wireless
at Waupaca. \ relief train with
food and blankets was dispatched
from Chicago.
The Waupaca wireless said the
trains were helpless in great drifts
of snow.
Trains from the west are hours
late but traffic east has suffered
little interruption.
Weather reports are that the
storm west of here has passed its
crest and is sweeping eastward but
with loss yio1pucp
Twenty four hours Of sleet and
snow whipped by Il gale reaching
80 miles an hour converted the
territory between Texas and the
Canadian line into a vast snow
blanket.
Chicago Isolated
Much of the great electric wire
system linking city with city was
ripped and torn.
-. At. 2 .a;clotk this morning Chi
cago was practically isolated. The
American telephone and telegraph
announced al that time that it did
not have Il single wire eastward.
IT was able to put up only one wlre
west and that was to Eigin, H.,
30 miles from Chicago.
The company managed to pun
one wire into operation north aud
that was to Milwaukee, 80 miles
north of Chicago.

What Is murder in the first degreel
In the second degree?
These definitions differ with the stat
utes of the states. In general Ii may
be said that murder In the first degree
Is confined to homicide committed by
poison, lying in wait and other kill
ings committed in pursuance of de
llberate and premedItated design. and
TO those which accomplish the commits
sion of some of the more atroclous fel-
onleS, such as burglary, arson and rape.
Murder in the second degree occurs
where there Is no such deliberately
formed design to take life or to per-
petrate one Of the enumerated feionies
as Is required for the first degree, but
where, nevertheless. there was pur-
pose to kill Tor at least to lnflict the
particular injury without caring,
whether It caused death or notl formed
instantaneously in the mind. and where
the killing was without justification
or excuse, and without any such provo
cation as would reduce the crime to
the grade OF manslaughter.
