BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

STATEHoUSE, ANNAPOLIS. Md,
January 16i-With warning that the
death knen of the Democratic party
in Maryland was about to be sounded,
unless there is full and impartial
legislative investigation of the State
roads commission scandal, the handful
of inSurgent Democrats in the House
of Delegates sought again last night
to heckle the regulars and the admin
istration. It was stormy period. and
just about all the House did during
the hour and IS minutes it was In ses-
sion. The Republicans stood on the
side lines during most of the discussion.
and when the vote came, several Of
them, lead by Joseph A. Wilmer, minor
ity floor leader, excused themselves from
voting after explaining that it was a
factional fight within the majority
party.
After the skirmish, which was finally
won by the ma ajority, but not until Dele
gate Frederick Lee Coburn of Hartford
County, had delivered his attack over
numerous objections from Speaker E.
Brooke Lee of Silver Spring, from the
floor that he was out of order. Coburn
sought to have passed an order direct
ing the governor to tell specifically
whether any of the State road funds
were used for any public celebration.
But the grand inquest committee had
held meeting IN Speaker Lees office
prior to the convening of the House and

Galleries Are Crowded.
There was a noticeable tenSeness
when the House convened. The GAL
leries were crowded. The seat of every
member, except few who had been ex-
cused, was occupied and the floor space
around the rostrum was filed. Prac-
tically all of the members of the Sen
ate were present on the SidelineS.
There had been previous rumors that
the insurgents had offered to surrender
and buy the hatchet; at least the Bal
timore city insurgents who were seeking
political leadership in the Monumental
City. A group of them called on Gov.
Ritchie earlier in the day and offered
to surrender If the Baltimore leader
ship was given to their group. The
governor is understood to have told
them that he had nothing to do with
that matter, as 1t was a city problem.
So. soon after the gavel fell, Delegate
Coburn sent to the desk an order, ana
announced that after it had been read
by the clerk he wished to make a mo-

CABINET DARK
TILL MARCH 4
Hoover WithhoIdS News of
His Apprentices.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON. Feb. f3.-Despite
newspaper discussion and state
mentS from senators and others pre-
sumably close to President-Elect
Hoover, there will be no definite an
nouncementS concerning the new
cabinet until after Hoover becomes
President.
Word to this effect Is brought
from Miami Beach.
On the afternoon of March 4,
after Hoover has taken the oath of
Office, a, typewriter memorandum
will be sent to Vice President Cur
It's 1t will contain the list of cab
met appointments.
In this course Hoover is following
the precedent established in 1918 by
the late President Wilson. who kept
his cabinet personnel secret until
after he had taken the oath. The
only authoritative exception to Will
sons policy was the announcement
that Bryan would be secretary of
state and Bryan himself gave out
the information.
In 1921 President Harding chose
to announce his cabinet piece-meal,
with the result that when he be-
came President the official person
mel generally was known.
Hoover is said to be annoyed at the
widespread newspaper speculation
concerning his cabinet.

EUROPE HARD
HIT BY WINTER
10000 Die of Cold and Dis
ease; Wolves Men
ace Roads.
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
United Press staff Correspondent

NCopyrlgnV, 1872 by United PreSSl
LONDON, Feb. 13.-Recalling the
devastating plaques of the middle
ages, Europe has been stricken by
the deadliest winter in living mem
ory.
Storms, cold and disease have
killed more than 10000 persons so
far, reliable statistics gathered by
the United Press in eleven coun-
tries showed today, with indications
that the toll already may have
reached 10000.
Yet the intense cold that has
settled on the continent from the
Siberian Steppes to the Mediter-
ranean only now has attained it's
peak of intensity. Middle Europe
experienced temperatures as lowsas
20 degrees below zero.
100 Frozen to Death
The bulk of the deaths were
due to influenza, pneumonia, and
similar diseases, which were re-
Sponsible for approximately $500
deaths in France alone and 2.1OO
in lot leading cities of England and
Wales.
At least $50 were drowned in
shipwreckS in the eleven countries
surveyed, while more than 100 we're
frozen to death. Others were eaten
by wolves, made bold by hunger.
The cold broke all records, or
records of many years, in nearly
all countries
A gypsy tribe of tIlirty-f four men,
women and children were reported
frozen to death near Lublin, Poland,
where they had camped.
Five Smugglers were buried in an
avalanche of snow and ice as they
operated near the Bremen pass.
The "blue Danube" at Vienna had
become white today. Residents of
the city were able to walk across the
river on the ice.
Public clocks had stopped, their
works frozen.
Trains Buried in Snow
Many, trains in Rumania were
buried beneath the snow. Engineers
and f1remen we're frozen to death
and it was feared some of the pas
sengers might die from exposure.
Wolves, their food supplies cut off
by the cold. came out of the wilder
ness of Hungary in increasing num-
berS to menace travellers along the
highways.
In London. weather officials said
it was the coolest since 1871.
A hearse with its coffin was
abandoned by mourners in England
beside a road when they found it
impossible to reach the cemetery,
because of snow.

DAYToN. O., Feb. 1S.-The
~ thrilling story of how they
scared through clouds of ice
crystals into an atmosphere rs de-
grees below zero, was related to-
day by Lieutenant Harry Johnson
and Captain A. w. Stevens after
an unsuccessful attmept to shatter
the worlds altitude plane record.
The airmen we're cheated of a
possible record when lack of fuel
forced them to land at Norton
field, Columbus, after they at
tanned an altitude of $4,000 feet.
They intend to make another at
tempt in a few days.
THURSDAYS flight, Captain
Il Stevens told the United Press,
proved the age-old contention of
science that clouds of ice crystals
are encountered in rari1ied atmos-
phere. We passed through clouds
of them and they felt like NINA
ture needles.
Stevens and johnson, veterans
in experimental aviation and alti-
tude attempts, never had flown
through ice crystals before and
after passing through the clouds
they dipped back into them to YER
ify their conclusions that the
shiny particles were needles of ice.
I'VE hit the first cloud at 5000
feet" Stevens said. Our vision of
the earth was suddenly obScured.
This was unusual since the sky
otherwise was cloudless. We con-
tinued ascending and as we went
up the clouds became thicker.
Then we burst into an atmosphere
lighted up as though millions of
diamonds filled the air. 1t was the
sun shining on and reflected by
the particles"

CTEVENS said the light cast off
- by the ice created a "sun
dog" aspect, making it appear as
though the heavens were Shad-
owed by sun dogs. After going
