FAST TRAINS HELD
 i UP BY THE STORM
(Contlnued from First Pagc)

ginning shortly after noon I'm rsday left Syracuse and cea,ral New York snowbound today. cut off practically from touch with the outside world except for telephone and tltgrapn.
 Epidemic of Grip.
 Suffering an epidemic Of grip, which has kept physicians working 20 hours a day for the "st several days, the city faced 2 real crisis tc- day as the doctors found lt imposs- ble to use automobiles going from house to house on thai- cails.
 During the night hospitals borrow cd heavy horscdrawn sleighs from the American Express Company for use as ambulances for emergency cases of which there were many,
 \ Pathetic Case.
 The most pathetic story was that of William J. Omilanowic2 Of Syra- cuse who lived within two blocks of c hospital. The mans two months old infant son became III during the night. Attempts to summon phy- sician by telephone were made but no physician could quickly respond although several said they would make the attempt.
 An hour passed and no physician had arrived and the child was grow ing worse. Omilanowicz wrapped the infant in heavy shawl and went out into the storm bound for the hospital.
 Passing through drifts he fell twice but managed to stagger into the hospital and place the infant in the arms of a nurse. A doctor ap- peared but 1t was too late. The child was dead. Later two physi- clans appeared at the family home, each having made the trip as quickly as 1t was possible.
 Using Snowshoes.
 Several of the younger physicians of the city solved the problem Of making house calls this morning by using skies and snowshoes.
 Others managed to secure horses but there was a scarcity of sleighs and cutters Some of the older phy- sicians drove long flat trucks behind teams of horses. Others used saddles and went about after the fashion of the mountalneer physician of long ago.
 Schools Closed.
 All tho sdhools were closed. Only handful of students reported at each institution and they were dis missed at once.
 Snow stopped falling at o'clock this morning but after half an hour of clear weather the storm resumed and it was not until 10.3o that It stopped again.

All of us enjoy living in or visiting a home that is beautiful-tastily fur nished, cosy, spotlessly clean and always in per. feet condition.

 The thing to do is to get your wife depend able, efficient helpers, so your home may always be the. Home Beautiful, and your wife will not be compelled to work herself to death.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 30.-One or the worst snowstorms in the last decade swept and swirled across New York state today, paralyzing traffic, caus- ing many accidents and closing schools in many cities.
 Near Saratoga Spring a DeIa"are & Hudson engine was derailed, Kill ing two track walkers and the cold accompanying the storm last night brought death to man who lived alone at East PoestenktlI.
 Rural mail carriers were unable to make their trips in many sections and farmers milk deliveries were also made impossible by blocked highways. Two feet or more or sho" covered most of the state and me high wind that accompanied the IaIi drifted it into huge heaps.
 Stalled buses, street cars and auto mobiles full of marooned passengers were common sights in many cities, and trolley services were abandoned or operated on reduced schedules.

AUTOMATIC TRAIN
 DEVICES UNSAFE
More Dangerous Than Human
 Hands, Stone Declares

New York, March 27.-,A warning that automatic control devices may be responsible for a much greater railroad tragedy than has ever oc- cured is sounded by Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, fin an affidavit filed in the federal district court today in sup port of the Delaware and Hudson company's application to enjoin the interstate commerce commission from forcing installation of automa- tic safety devices along 113 lies Of its road.
 One of the greatest objections to the automatic train stop. Mir. Stone asserts, is the danger that its appli- cation will some day buckle a freight train and throw 1t across an adjoin- Ing track in front of fast passenger train.
 "The chances are that every hu- man being in the passenger train will be killed or crippled" he de- clares.
 Members of the locomotive broth erhood. according to their chief, are opposed to the installation of con- trol devices for the reason that en- gineers generally believe it is un- desirable and unsafe to divide con- trol and that the proper handling of trains by brakes. in emergencies and at other times, requires the exercise of personal judgement and discre- ton and must be adapted to special conditions of time, place and wealth CT. These conditions vary so greatly upon any railway, he states, that no automatic apparatus can be expected to take the place of individual ac- ton intelligently controlled.
 'The art of automatic train stop or train control" adds the brief, "has not been developed to such a point that devices of this character can be relied upon to operate safely, efficiently or satisfactorily under varying daily service conditions"
 With the opening of court hear ings on its suit, the Delaware and Hudson also presented affidavits from other prominent railroad en- gineers and officials. supporting its contention that no apparatus which has so far been tested has proved satisfactory. Most of them argue that railroad saefty would be ad- vanced more effectively If the pro- posed expenditures were devoted to the elimination of grade crossings and the installation of block signals

Chinese City Has No Vehicles
 With Wheels

Washington. D. C., March 27,-- "Foochow, China, scene of report cd demonstration against foreign traders, has no railroad tracks nor any wheeled vehicles on its streets. It lies 34 miles from the sea. but 1t does a provincial and foreign busi- ness of huge proportions" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geo. graphic Society.
 Few travellers go there. Those who do find themselves in a place where the charm of medieval custom vies with the stench of medieval sewage disposal.
 Factories are weet-Smelling
 "Paradoxically. If one wishes a sweet-smelling spot he should seek out one of the 47 factories which make Foochow's fiower-scented tea. These factories buy more than $4OO,- 900 worth of white jasmine flowers yearly which they use for heating with the tea leaves to produce the delicate fragrance. The women wear q permanent headdress of swords and daggers.
 ITO reach Foochow one sails from Hongkong or Shanghai-it lies mid way between these ports-and op- posite the north end of Formosa (Taiwan) the ship steams up the Min, or Snake, River.
 But the ocean-going vessel must halt at Pagoda Anchorage, nearly len miles below Foochow, because, half century ago, stoneladen barges were sunk here to repel an enemy attack. Legend has 1t that the ord-and-dagger headdress of the women is memento of siege when China was group of petty, warning states and her men went forth to fight an army of invaders. When the men were driven back inside the city walls the women seized their weapons, and sailed forth to q go- rious victory over the astonished Maraudera
 River Traffic Problem
 Above Pagoda Anchorage the vis- itor finds river traffic problem as acute as the automobile congestion Of an American city. Gone are the tea-clippers, the ships that carried the name and aroma of Foochow to London tables, and gone are the famous Foochow pirate craft. But in the vessel-mass one still discerns the sea-going junks with sterns as high as those of the old Spanish gall Icons and curious up-river craft which find water highways through Fukien province. These iostle for places alongside house boats of an- cient design and bright, new steam launches. -.
 i When a small boat lands you at Foochow wharf 1t still Is three miles overland to the vine grown, lowered walls of the old city No tnxis await your signal, no cabs, not even jinrikisha. Only the native chairs are available. The streets of the ancient city are too crooked, too badly paved, and too narrow for even the most primitive sort of vehi- cles on wheels,

England Follows U. S.
 In Safeguarding Milk

London, March 27.--An Interna- tional Milk Congress in London, similar to that held in the United States last year. is under consider ation by the ministries of agriculture and health. Veterinary opinion in this country Is so impressed with steps taken by the United States to prevent the spread of tuberculosis through milk taken from infected COWS. that strong representations made to governmental authorities here are expected to result in similar measures in England.

Fnklen ls ol.Iahoma Of ChlnA

Ancient as Foochow seems to the western world, 1t is q sort of Wild West in the eyes of Picking or Can ton. In the days of Confucius, China proper looked upon the province that now Is Fukien as a region of barbarians. The walled city did not rise until the Ming period, which covered the years that America was discovered and colonized.
 One effectual bar against visitors In recent decades has been the prev alence of cholera and the bubonic plague. One survey disclosed only three wells of wholesome water: the natives still rely on the water, of precarious purity, dipped from the river and sold by coolies,
 Tea, timber and paper load down most of the outgoing boats. From up-river come many cargoes of fruit. cotton for the Foochow mills. and rice. Piled on its wharves are wheat, peas, onions, salt, silver. white plums and dates. The over land journey to Foochow Is avoided even by the natives; but the Min and It's branches give the city a water way access to 27 walled towns and to many smaller villages.
 Have Secret Lacquer Process
 "Foochow imports the sap of. the so-called varnish tree, and uses 1t in a lacquer of exceptional luster. One family. for many generations. held a secret process which made Foochow lacquer-ware farfamed. This process required applications for a dozen or more times.
 '"'on mountain not far from the city one encounters the dog wor- shippers-easily distinguishable for the peculiar coiffure of their women: scaffoldlike effect with a cord dangling before the face. This Is worn because of a myth which tolds that dog once saved the city and the gods rewarded him by subjecting him to a process by which he was to become human after his incarce- ration for ' times 40 days. An i'm patient provincial Pandora lifted the cover when all but his head had been transformed and thus left a dog-headed man. In going to claim his bride his face was covered so his canine features might not offend her. So. to this day. the women of the mountain wear the headdress in honor of him and, on New Year day, they worship the image of a dog. +
 A 540-Volume Shelf
 Even nearer the city is Doctrine Hill', which derives this one of its many names from the residence there of certain learned man who accumulated library-a 540-volume shelf-known as The Doctrine of the Universe On this same hill are six times six wonderful things, in- cluding the inevitable rock showing the footprints of Buddha.
 "On another hill is a place where very pious priest used to sit read ing book. One night there was a thunderstorm which split the rock, but iN parts fell so that a cone was formed so the holy man might read in peace. .y-
 "A familiar touch Is manifest on Black Rock Hill--a touch which makes the name carvers of the East and West kin--by the inscription left there by two climbers, which reads:
 Tn the reign of the Emperor Kuang Hsu, End day, 12th moon, Fist year. Chen Hsiao and Liu Hsiao, cross-legged on the summit of Black Rock Hill"

Murders Increase With
 Removal of Death Penalty

Berlin, March 27.-There have been no executions in Berlin since 1921, and 1t is now being alleged that the number of brutal murders has increased in the German capital
 because of the disposition of the courts to impose sentences of life Imprisonment instead of death. Berlin has no executioner and the discussions in the papers as to the advisability of restoring capital punishment have brought more than 100 applications from men who want to serve as hangman.
