FOG HAMPERS TRAFFIC
Heavy Mist Cause Much Trouble In Chicago--Autoists Leave Cars By The Roadside.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-One Of the densest fogs in the memory of traf- fife managers blanketed Chicago from midnight until dawn today, holding all transportation virtually at a standsitll.
 One taxicab company, which pre- viously had operated full strength in all weather conditions, including 20 below zero cold, discontinued service because of the peril of collisions. Street cars and elevated trains moved at a snai's pace and no at- tempt was made to maintain sched- uleS.
 Powerful headlights on suburban trains penetrated only few feet.
 Hundreds of motorists left cars parked rather than attempt to dirve them.
 Police automobile squards feared robbers would take advantage of the fog, but few reports of crime were received. A man who shot two others, probably fatally woundine one, escaped in the fog.

 Thus far, the department has felt that no blame attaches directly 10 Levy in connection with disap- pearance of the liquor stock, but officials are inquiring into disci- pline among his assistants and have begun a study of the whole record of his office.
 Although officials refused to go into details, 1t Is understood the investigation Indicated that the liquor was disposed of from the in- side, and without Levy's knowledge.
 Senator Mckinley urged more help in the marsharS office in Chicago, declaring the staff there entirely inadequate,

 club city. election campaign. The polls opened at 9:30 o'clock this morning and the ballots began drop ping in at the rate of one a minute, the Boys manifesting more interest in the voting than knowledge of it's particulars. Wrinkled brows and poised pencils, however, gave evil dence that they were taking it ser iously, and close results are predict cd. Mike Parparian demanded a
 ballot early ths morning and an- nounced his intention of giving his brother Jacob a vote for sheriff; his family loyalty was so strong that it was only with difficulty that he could be persuaded to even look at the candidates for other offices. An other excited youngster set up a howl about voting for "Sty Gwaw- Waw" and 1t was some minutes be- fore the officials learned he was campaigning for Stanley Gotowala, an aspirant for an aldermanic berth.

Daytime Juarez Drab.
"Juarez of the daytime Is a rather
drab affair away from the market and
the ancient church. Dust seems to
strike the predominant note. The
streets are dusty, the adobe houses
are mostly dust colored; even the
very few bits of Greenery seem sadly
in need of bath. One or two streets
are paved: here and there in the resi-
dental sections the graceless adohes
give way to charming little places in
Spanish style with pleasing architec-
ture and palms and vines; now and
then the Latin love of color bubbles
up in a humble home owner, and he
covers his khaki walls with pink or
blue or yellow stucco. These things
show what Juarez may do when 1t
truly finds itself.
But there are Compensations for
Juarez's drabness. On the sidewalks
are handsome, dark-eyed youngsters
and women in quaint costumes, while
poems plod down the street beneath
colored blankets and great broad
brimmed hats, and leather-decked
horsemen with huge spurs clang by.
There Is no mistake about 1t; when
you are In JuareZ, though you can
see a battery of American skyscrap-
