z Frozen TO Death in Chicago
by Cold Wave

Chicago, Dec. 28-Spreading fan-Ike
east and south the coolest weather re-
corded at this season in many years was
gripping the country from the Rocky
Mountains to the Atlantic SeabOard.
Eight degrees below zero was recorded
at Chicago and eastward to the Alleghen-
les. The cold IS moving eastward.
North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Northern Illinois and Indiana were the
States TO feel the brunt of the blighting
cold. Near zero weather prevailed all
a oag the Atlantic seab0ard and far
down into The Southern States.
COAL DISTRIBUTED.
Relief agencies in Chicago extended
aid to thousands Of sufferers. Coal and
fcodswas distributed throughout the day,
deliveries being made by trucks that
creaked over frozen ice covered streets.
There was not an hour that the shrek
of sirens and the rumbliGg of fire equip
ment through the streets was stilled.
-Four major fires kept firemen working
steadily all night. One was a large gar
age, The other a store building near the
Haymarket Theatre and two others were
factory buildings. But most of the
alarms came from residences where fire
started from overheated stoves and
heating plants. In all more than 20U
alarms were ans Tered.
Police stations were crowded with
homeless men. Among them were some
women and children. Cases were re-
ported where whole families abandoned
their homes when fuel gave out and hur.
ried to police stations and Salvation
Army headquarters.
Hospitals received many patients suf-
fering from frozen hands and. feet.
Some of the victims were in serious con
dition.
FROZEN TO DEATH.
Seven persons were frozen to death.
One victim was Cassin Glover, a round.
house foreman. He fell on the ice, APP
parently, and was stunned. Death from
freezing followed before he was found.
Lake Michigan has begun to freeze. A
fringe of ice extended a half mile out
from shore at some points. Ice t1Oated
in great cakes on the Chicago river and
the stream was only kept open by fire.

in the person of a strange desert
king" Mr.. Toinetti sees Faisal
Ibn Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud. King
of Central Arabia and leader Of
the powerful Wahaite movement
in Islam, as the man of destiny
in Arabia. Ibn Saud is "undoubt-
eddy the strongest Moslem ruler
today; virtually the whole country

Mr.. Tonietti writes that this
ruler has won the trust OF the
Moslem princes and the far-flung
Moslem elements in Great Britain's

has been succession Of military
and diplomatic victories.
He has won, Mr.. Tonietti adds,
