tence to be executed April for the
murder Of u New Britain. Conn. po-
liceman. will be made today to a
justice of the supreme court.
Ray NJ. Wiley of Springfield, Mass.
Of the counsel for Chapman, reached
Washington today TO make the APP
peal. The supreme court is in re-
cess, and the case must be handled
with justices individually
II is understood his grounds are
that he wants TO bring up fer re-
view some new phases which have
arisen recently in the case.
II is within the power Of an in
dividual justice to grant Il stay
pending the submission Of the case to
the court. Granting of a stay would
depend upon the ability Of counsel
to satisfy the justice that there has
been a development in the case suf-
ficient to warrant il since writ
for review was recently denied Chap
man by the court. Should stay be
granted. it would be impossible for
the court to pass upon any petition
until it reassembles April ~.

WORST MARCH
STORM PASSES,
new One AHEAD
Rail and Motor Traffic Halted
By Unprecedented Drifts
Of Snow
WIRE SERVICE TIED UP
Second Storm Moving South.
eastward From the Rocky
Mountain Region
WIRE SERVICE TIED UP

Chicago, April l.. R) This coun-
try bade farewell today 10 one Of
the severest March storms i" recent
weather history, saw it enter Cam
ada and continue its devastating way
eastward, and then prepared to face
a new disturbance brewing in the
Rocky Mountains.
But while the first storm had
passed. its effects were still visible
in unprecedented drifts Of snow that
blocked roads, halted rail and mo-
to: traffic and made the larger cities
vcritable oceans Of slush.
The "gleat storm" SO described in
weather bulletins, swept out Of The
Rockies several days ago, cut cir
cular srath through the southw est
and middlewest, with auxiliary dis
turbances along the gulf and At
lantic coast, and then moved north
casterly Wednesday night through
the lower Michigan peninsula into
Canada.
The new disturbance in the far
west was increasing in energy in a
southeasterly movement, attended by
general rains and SHOWS in the pla-
tcau and Rocky mountain regions.
General precipitation was promised
as the storm moves into the great
plains states today. while the valley
states and the western lake regions
will feel its fury on Friday.
Weather Still Unsettled
The weather bureau said no settled
weather was yet in prospect for the
storm states, and that unseasonably
low temperatures probably would
continue in the northern districts for
the balance of the week.
Central and eastern Canada today
are feeling the blast Of the first
storm wave. Described as one Of the
severest disturbances ever experience
ed in central Canada, the storm swspt
over the Toronto territory eastward,
with snow, slect, and rain borne on
the cutting breath Of 7O.milc gale.
Wire communication in the territory
was demoralized, Toronto being iso-
lated. Attempts last night to COM
municatc. with that city by wireless
were unsuccessful.
Chicago Sn0wb0und
The mOmentary respite between
storms gave the central west some
opportunity to dig itself out Of a
snowbound state. The advent of
colder weather, however, offered Il
new problem in frozen snow and
slush to further hamper transporta-
tion. Below freezing temperatures
were general throughout the central
states early today.
All March records for snowfall
were broken in Chicago which wit
messed steady downpour since
Tuesday. The streets, particularly in
the outlying sections, were in sorry
state, despite the shovcls piled by
hundreds Of men,

Fine Showing Unable to Overcome
Hdndicdp--Ldr9e Crowd There.

NEW YORK, August 19 - When
Tiger Flowers won the middleweight
champ onship from Harry Greb. the
white prize fighter of Pittsburgh,
Pa, both Creb and many of his.
trends believed that the colored
lighting deacon would not wear the
is urels long if he accorded to Greb
+; return match. However, Flowers
met the issue and promised to Civ
- sm an opportunity to come back
AS a result, the fight fans saw IA
spectacular and. bloody battle here
tonight at Madison Square Garden,
whe.e some 10000 people gathered
to witness the contest. The gate
receipts were $74,74S. Flowers home
is in Atlanta. Ga. The crowd was
he largest of the summer season.
1t took the boys a while to get
warmed up in the second round, but
when they did there was some more
spirited action with Greb on the Of
fensive and. Flowers trying to figure
cut what would happen next. Greo
got cheer after cheer as he feinteG
the titls holder into a favorable po
sition and slammed with lefts and
rights to the Deacon's head and
stomach The champion looked grin:
and determined as he took his cor
rer. While Greb danced to his with
al the carefreeness of boy being
:et out of school.
Greb left himself wide open when
he missed a left in the third round
and Flowers whaled away with
rights and lefts to Harry's head. AS
Creb clinched the Tiger hammered
&way at his body and shot home
several lefts that appeared to be
delivered below the pugilistic equa-
tor
Flowers drove home Sc les OF
rile- driving rights and short time
ter complained to the referee tha,
Greb was using his thum in man
ner con ary to accepted principles.
just as the bell sounded Greb drove
Flowers over into his own corner
and pumped home goodnight
punch to close the round
in the next round Flowers. after
missing, slipped on the canvas near
Greb's corner and nearly went out
OF the ring. He recovered his equi-
iibrium and, getting to his feet,
reeled around dizzily. but he was
only feinting and soon drove hard
right to Harry's jaw. Greb retail
lated with blow to the jaw and the
two were so busily engaged that they
failed to heed the bell, Greb show
ing considerable annoyance at Flow
ers' unwillingness to quit.
Greb's eye, cut in the second round,
gave his handlers something to work
on before the thirteenth round
started. In the session it was Greb
turn to go down, which he did white
letreating from a punch Flowers di-
rected to his midsection. 1t was de-
hvered palpably low and Greb
WINGED with the pain.
The referee, however was not in a
position to see the blow and nothing
came of it. Harry's eye was bleed
ing somewhat profusely as he went
to his corner.
The last session was a corker from
start to finish, the ring being full
cf flying fists and legs. Once Flow
ers slipped half way out of the ring
and again Greb wrestled him out.
