on a real trip to the sunny Southland
themselves.
The study hour was devoted to the

Galen |. Stone Rose to Heights As Investment Expert

Brookline. Mass, Dec. 27 P - Galen l.. Sfone, 64. who rose from
 reportorial obscurity to financial
 heights, is dead here today. MT. Stone was a member and founder of one of Boston's greatest investment houses, Hayden, Stone and company, which he established
 more than 30 years ago with Charles Hayden, like himself a subordinate in brokerage house. Stone had been cub reporter for the old Commercial bulletin. but | it was not long before he became financial editor of the Boston Ad- vertisep and a recognized expert. Then he decided to learn the in- vest1nent situation first hand and he took job with the brokerage firm where he met Hayden, grad uate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. who had started work the year previous as a ticker boy at s3 week.
 Soon they were partners. The greatest group of copper producing companies in the world owed its lexistence to their financing, it was said, and later they turned to steamships railroads and other en- terprises. Mir. Stone was at one
 time or another a director of more than 20 large companies.
 He retired In 1923 to give his time to interests, philanthropic. ar tistic and musical. which had all ways concerned him.
 , In 1924 he presented group of valuable Chinese paintings to the Fogg art museum of Harvard, and
 last year s75,000 to the cause of negro education. He was trustee of Wellesley college and had been vice president of the Boston symphony orchestra.
 Mr. Stone was born in Leomin- ster in 1862.

New York State

New York State
 New York, Dec. 27 Pp-Snow and ice today covered the northeastern states with white and slippery coating after mild Christmas tem- peratures.
 Streets here were turned into an icy glare from an inch of sleet fol-
 lowed by a light snow fall, and numerous accidents were reported. One unidentified man was killed when he fell down a stairway yes-
 terday, and Max Leberman, of
 Brooklyn, was killed when motor
 car in which he was a passenger, with six other men, skidded into an.
 other car.
 When the sleet storm was at its height 20 barges broke from their
 moorings in the East river and their so occupants were rescued after great effort by fireboat and tugs. The barking of dogs attracted at- tention to the barges as they drifted Ihelplessly into the treacherous cur rents and reefs of Hell Gate. The fact that the barges were lashed to- gether made it possible for tugs to tow them back to safe anchorage after lines had been attached.
 Upstate Reports
 There was a heavier snowfall in upstate New York and in the New England states. Traffic in Albany was hampered and at Glen Falls a small boy was killed in a coasting accident. Western Massachusetts had nine inches of snow and in Stamford, Conn.,, many starlings and pigeons, were so incased in sleet that they could not fly. Some of the fortunate ones were thawed out | in the homes of townspeople. The storm turned city parks and countryside into a crystal fairyland which attracted many spectators. Children who received new sleds for Christmas made the most of an ideal situation.

COLD WAVE NOW IS FOLLOWING STORM
New York State and New Eng
 land in Winters Grasp

Boston, Dec. 27.-tP)-An S.S inch snowfall which made the months total here the heaviest in 43 years had ceased today and in its stead was a biting cold that sent the mer- cury tumbling to Is degrees above zero, with lower readings threatened.
 Only in Massachusetts was the snowfall heavy, northern New Eng land states escaping with compara- lively light blanket.
 The heaviest fall was recorded in the Berkshire district. where nine inches were reported as common with heavy drifts adding to the diff ficulties of travel. These however were soon cleared and the main roads opened.
 This city. which felt the brunt of the storm yesterday, looked over statistics for the month today and found that to date 2S.7 inches had fallen compared with PA inches in December 1883. The first month of the winter last year saw only a half an inch.
 A quick start was made by the city's removal forces with the result that few transportation tieups were were experienced. Railroads which were under unusual sress because of the returning holiday crowds report ed virtually no trains behind sched- ule.
