TRICKY
SAYS COUZENS

A trail of ruffled tempers and
bad feelings was left lin the Senate
today in the wake of the vote on
income tax publicity, which was
eliminated from the new tax bill
by 4 vote of 40 to 81
Party lines were badly split on
the vote. Is Republicans, 3 Demo-
Gratis and one Farmer Labor voting
in favor of continued publicity Of
income tax returns, and 80 Repub-
Iicans and Is Democrats voting
against it,
Still another vote on the Nickel
lar publicity amendment is pend
ing. but in view of the vote last
night little Importance is now at
tached to it.
The bad feeling was engendered by
the flat charge by Senator Couzens
(R.) of Michigan, that he had been
tricked. BY Senator Smoot RI
of Utah. in charge Of the tax bill.
This charge of sharp practice cleo
trified the usually dignified Senate
and resulted In Couzenss being call
ed to order by Vice President
Dawes
Later. when Couzens was invited
to proceed t'in order" he angrily
stated:
lido not feel that in my present
contenptuous mood can proceed
in order. so I shall sit down. "

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 1O.-The In
upon as weather prophets, are in
disgrace in the Rocky mountain
region where an excess of 92 de-
grees has been registered in the first
ten days of February. Indians last
fall predicted a long, hard winter
while few days ago the ground
hog emerged from his winter quar-
ters and curried back with the threat
of six weeks more winter. Stories
to confirm the arrival OF spring were
told in all parts Of the region today.
Denver, where the temperature has
seldom dropped to freezing even at
night in the past few weeks, sheds
it's overcoat in the day time. Flocks
Of robins have been increasing since
their appearance in the middle or
January and today a golf course was
thrown open to the public.
A rancher at Laramie, Wyo., drove
into town today to tell his friends
that snow was gone from the ranges
and en- route filled a box with grass
hoppers as proof.
In Great Falls, Mont, big yellow
butterfly coaxed from it's cocoon by
the April like sun attracted atten-
tion of boys who had put away use
less skates and sleds, and to occupy
themselves snaring ground squirrels.
Even at Havre where the mercury is
inclined to low winter levelsl it
climbed to SO.
However, it remained for Great
Falls Mont, to produce the prize
story Ice men reports said grumbled
because there was no work for men
employed to cut ice in the Missouri
river, and employees grumbled because
flies awake them when they tried
to sleep along the river banks.
Fair and continued warm weather
was predicted for the region by the
weather bureau, which gave Chinook
winds sweeping down the eastern
slope of the Rockies credit for the
balmy atmosphere.

Mexican Paper Declares
Villas Head Has Been
Shipped To Chicago Man
1Rr nisnatch A. 2. Miral

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 10.-The after
noon paper Grafico prints a story,
otherwise completely unsubstantiated
here, quoting an anonymous Ameri-
can just arrived from the north, to
the effect that the head of General
Francisco Villa had been cut off at
the instigation of "an eccentric Chi
cago millionaire, a student of Grim
inology," who had sent emissaries to
Mexico with instructions to get Villas
head at any cost.
The Chicagoan, the story goes, once
attempted similarly to obtain the
head of former President Victoriano
Huerta. He had such difficulty in
collecting the heads of criminals in
the United States for study that he
decided to exploit the Mexican field. =
Villas head, the Grafico's article
adds, has been shipped to Chicago and
is due there today.

Nine deaths as a result of the storm
were reported. Three of them We're
in the wreck of the fishing schooner
Ralph Brown near Gloucester, Mass,
two in Connecticut, one in New York
City, two in Boston and one in Phil
adelphia. Scores of persons received
injuries as a result of street acbi~
dents. Railroads were crippled, mot
or and street car traffic was suspend
ed or demora1ized. Property damage
was. great, and the millions OF dollars
expended in removing the snow OF
last week from streets and highways
went for naught.
The storm ranged through Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and
tonight was roaring up the Atlantic
coast toward northern New England.
A survey of the area showed:
A score of railway trains stalled in
New England and on Long Island; all
schools in New York and Rhode Is
land, and many other states closed.
County courts on Long Island closed;
Afactories and business houses every
where, closing hours earlier than us
ual; mail deliveries slowed up, trar-
fic in Boston harbor suspended and
trains, where running at ALL seri-
ously delayed.
The air mail service, for the second
time since it's Inauguration was sus-
pended. All points between New York
and Chicago remained at the hangars
at which at the start of the storm
found them.
Shipping was hampered by the gale
and heavy seas. Wireless stations
reported a number of requests for ra-
dio compass bearings. The only cas-
ualty reported was the Ralph Brown,
blown ashore at Briar Neck, near
Gloucester. Eighteen of the crew Of
21 were saved
Near New Bedford, Mass, the
coupe of DR.. Thomas wolfe was com
pletely buried. A snow plough crew
discovered the car when their plough
rammed into it. DR.. Wolfe was found
safe inside, having kept to the shell
ter of the automobile aftetr it stalled
rather than expose himself Ito the
elements.
thousands OF snow ShOVelerS who
had cleared the main thoroughfares
in New York city of the previous
sonw and had attacked the feeder
streets and roads were recalled today
to again concentrate their efforts to
keep the main highways open.
In the anthracite coal regions the
storm added fresh burdens to hun
dreds of families impoverished by the
six months strike of the miners.
In the larger cities milk famine
was threatened, due to the delay of
numerous milk trains.
Rum Row was left to its own de-
vices as the coast guard patrol boats
scurried to shelter, however, the
rough sea was considered a sufficient
barrier to any unauthorized landing
of liquor boats.
AS an offset to the deaths and
damage it caused, the storm was held
responsible for slump in the num-
ber of deaths caused daily by auto
mobile accidents. Due to the fact
that nearly all cars We're showed in,
the number of such accidents was
negligible.

Except for his reference to DR.
Stressemann's claim of German cul-
tural tutelage in the Upper Adige and

the italian preqnier's address avoided

and restrained, in sharp contrast tc
his first speech on the same subject
1t covered, point by point, the utter
ances of the German foreign minis
ter.
Mussolini was unyielding on the
matter of Italys refusal to permit
violation of her frontiers, either ply
sicany or culturally. The Upper
Adige, he asserted, does not belong
to a Germanic cultural community
and Italy intends to continue her pol
icy of 'Roman equity" in a terriotry
the possession of which cultural as
well as physical, is essential to the
safety of the entire Italian nation.
II declare explicitly" said Musso-
lini, that the non-Italian speaking
people in the Upper Adfge does not
constitute a mirorits- as construed
by the peace treaty. Italy does not
accept any discussion Of this matter
in any assembly or council and will
react with the greatest energy
against any plan of this nature.
s"These are not menaces, productive
of diIemmas; they are undeniable af.
firmations, with force and dignity,
as in the custom of new Italy, which
too many Germans make the grave
mistake of not yet knowing"
The premier was frequently inter-
rupted by applause which became q
frantic ovation as he resumed his
seat. He was forced to rise again
and acknowledge the plaudits. The
Giornale O'Italia, commenting on tho
situation, says: ''Dr. Stressemann can
say what he chooses, but We are
masters in our own house. If the
melancholy cultural pretentions of
the German people are converted into
acts against our dignity, sovereignty
or interests, our reply, and if neces-
sary, reprisa1s, will be immediate and
adequate"
