MAN WHO FOOLED
 HARDING IS HELD
Sterling WymaC Re-Arrested on
 Penal Code Violation

New York, Dec P-Sterllng Clifford Wyman, also known as stephen Weinberg, who occupied the
 news spotlight in 1922 when, posing
 as naval officer he introduced
 Princess Fatima" to President Harding. is under arrest again. l He was charged today with vio- lating the penal code which pertains to practicing law without being ad- mitted to the bar and also with sell ing lists of names compiled by an- other. The latter charge was pre- ferred by James R. Brown, an in Vestment broker.
 During the proceeding growing out of the Harding episode, when he i was found guilty, medical authorities testified that he was a victim of "grandiose ideas and that he had been an inmate at Dannemora prison.
 He appeared In the news again at the time of the death of Rudolph Valentino in New York, when Pola Ncgri, the screen star, came here from the west for the funeral, .an- nouncing that she had been engaged to Valentino, she was approached by a soliCitious doctor. He assisted in arranging for the funeral services, until his identity became public. No criminal charges were preferred against him.

 The Barge canal system was con- ironted with the worst conditions in 40 years, with many locks under water. as the result ot heavy . downpour Of rain. augmented by melting SHOWS. Although more than 100 boats of the fleet of 250 which were caught last week, had made their way through the canals. there was little hope today that the rest would be able to. and there was much concern over their cargoes of grain.
 Canal officials hurried 10 Syra- cuse where so grain laden boats are threatened with destruction.
 All streams in this vicinity were rising rapidly. The Hudson river was II feet above normal here at o'clock today, and was flowing over Quay street. along the rivers edge. Late yesterday. two tugs, which at tempted to pass under bridges at this point, had their smokestacks knocked off. Other tugs picked up the tows.
 At Buffalo, according to reports to canal headquarters here, the floor of the terminal was several feet under water at one time.

Worst Since 1901

] Buffalo, N. Y. Dec. 9 CP---Follow- ing the most severe wind storm since 1901. resulting in a monetary loss estimated at three quarters Of a ml- lion, Buffalo today was experiencing near zero weather. The wind early today had died down to 35 miles an hour, in contrast to the gale which averaged over 80 miles an hour over a l2 hour period.
 The big grain ships in the local harbor outrode the storm, though several of the boats dragged their anchors and for a time much alarm was occasioned by seeming impend- ing crashes. Several small boats, in cluding two or three tugs, went down, however.
 At Woodlawn, 8 summer colony a few miles south of Buffalo, many cottages were flooded and 200 fami- lies were marooned.
 One of the unusual features of the storm in the vicinity of the Niagara cataract was the death of great numbers of wild ducks which alight- cd on the waters of the river to es- cape the ferocity of the gale. and were carried over the falls.
 The greatest single item of dam age done by the storm in Buffalo was the wrecking of the Curtis Con- dor bombing plane, the only one of it's kind in the world and built at an estimated cost of s175,000. The wind wrested it from its moorings. Wing and tail were smashed and the engine was damaged beyond repair.
 The navy training ship U. s. S. Sturgeon broke away from her wharf and was carried 1000 feet down the Black Rock channel of the Niagara river landing upon the rocks. The training ship was still fast this morning and if she is not released before the water gets down to normal. will be high and dry on what is known as Bird island.

More Than 34 Dead

Chicago, Dec. LP) - More than 34 persons have met death in the sub-zero blast and blizzard which yesterday continued to fan the con- tinent from coast to coast
 Weather officials predicted the cold spell would reach it's peak to- day but would remain of sufficient intensity for a few days to keep the weather a constant topic of conver- sation.
 Chicago reported nine deaths d. rectly attributable to the cold and the remainder of Illinois four; Can ada's blizzard toll reached eight to- day. Iowa reported four dead. Wis consin three and Minnesota two.
 While northern Minnesota and Wisconsin remained partially snow bound, Iowa cities were gradually restoring communication and traf- fc. Missouri, Illinois and Indiana and surrounding states experienced the cold without snow. The frigidity was severe as far west as Cali fornia and south to the gulf states taking in virtually the entire nation.
 St. Paul schools were closed yes terday for the second successive day, while street cars pushed un- certainly through the city.
 The mercury hit the bottom of the glass in some British Columbia and Alberta cities, where the read In rS 0ere as low as Ri below zero
 Three freight boats, held fast fin Lake Superior ice, were released by tugs, while two others were unac- counted for and were believed to have sought shelter near Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
 Blocked roads and impaired tele- graph and telephone communication virtually isolated that northern Wisconsin section.
 One steamer was reported to have foundered and another to hay. gone aground, in word from Fort William, Ont.
 A report from Ishpeming, Mich, that 150 men were marooned with out food in a mine near there proved to be untrue. Officials said they had been unable to get to their homes because of the storm. but had been made comfortable in mine buildings.

 Upper peninsula points reported the snow storm of that past three days abating. Snow drifts 25 feet high were reported in many places, with the average depth around Ishpeming seven feet.
 Food had to be rushed late yes terday to 150 men stranded at the Ford Mine eight miles west of Ishpeming. Twelve school children were rescued after spending six hours in a stranded bus. It required 40 men and two tractors to go four miles and reach the bus, just outside Ishpeming.

 The gale, attaining a velocity Of S4 miles an hour along the eastern ends of the Great Lakes, dashed western New York and sent scores of vessels aground, while a full moon" tide whipped by an east wind boomed beyond sea walls along the coast from southern New Jersey to Maine.
 Three steamers with S1 men aboard, were aground in Lake Erie after fighting a losing battle with the storm.
 Two rum runners said to have left Port Colborne. Ont. and two pack age freighters, head up the lakes. were unreported as the gale lifted.

Truck drivers blinded by snow killed two people, one in Buffalo and another at Windsor, Ont. One death result ed from the storm in New York city.
 Streams swollen by heavy rains of 4S hours ago caused heavy damage in Massachusetts and New Hamp- shire and again disrupted flood re- mobilization in Vermont.
 Although New York harbor es- caped damage in the unusually high tide, other points along the coast were seriously affected. Wharves and piers were damaged along the Jer- sey coast and homes and cottages along the Connecticut shore on Long Island Sound were demolished.
 The weather bureau predicted an- other flood stage in the Connecticut river at Hartford after streams in northern New England approached record heights.
