SNOW SWEEPS
EAST TO END
HEAT WAVE
Winter Weather Forecast,
as Heavy Rains Fall
in Midwest.

~ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-The snow
and winter weather which has
harassed the Rocky mountain region
is sweeping eastward to end the late
fall heat wave which sent tempera-
lures to record heights in the mid
west, weather observers reported to-
day.
Heavy rains drenched most of the
midwest and sent temperatures
slumping toward the freezing mark.
4 few hours before, the region had
been basking in heat wave which
started flowers blooming and gar
den crops growing with vigor.
For several days, the customary
autumn blizzard has been raging in
the western mountain regions, ma
rooning travellers and delaying
transportation. Weather observers
said the cold was spreading east
rapidly and predicted snow within
tWenty-four hours in the Dakotas,
Minnesota, upper Michigan and Ne
braska.
Storm warnings we're posted on
portions of the Great Lakes and
shippers were advised to protect
shipments against frost.
The cold wave brought zero
weather to western Canada. CAL
gary, Alberta, was coolest with 16
below zero, with Medicine Hat and
Battleford reporting ID below and
several other cities slightly milder
temperatures.
The snow and rain was hailed by
farmers, who said it gave the soil
much needed moisture. In some
portions of the winter wheat belt,
the rain relieved a drought which,
it had been feared. would cause
severe crop losses.
For city garden owners, the cold
snap brought an end to bouquets of
roses and snapdragons that had
been picked in the go to 70 degree
temperatures Of the preceding few
days.

MOTHER TO Be
CHARGED WITH
POISON DEATH
Illinois Woman Is Arrested
After Secret Autopsy
on Girls Body.

By United Press
DELAvAN, Ill, Nov. 1S.-Mrs.
Alice Mason, so, mother of Mildred
Mason, II, whose death by arsenic
poison last summer was disclosed
by a secret autopsy, was arrested
today and will be charged with the
poisoning, Tazewen county author
tiles announced.
IF Mildred died of poison, my
son-in-law, Harold Reese is re-
sponsible, Mrs. Mason told Deputy
Sheriff Ernest Fleming. He made
me divide $1,000 insurance I got
from her death and she took sick at
his home"
Fleming said he would arrest
Reese for questioning Immediately.
Clinton Armstrong, said by neigh
bors to be an admirer of Mrs. Ma
son, also was ordered apprehended
for questioning.
Another to Be Exhumed
Mrs. Mason also said her son-in-
law forced her to divide a similar
insurance award made on the death
of her husband a year ago, Fleming
said.
An autopsy of his body was to be
made to determine if arsenic also
figured in his death. Medical ex-
animation of son Henry, Is, taken
i'll mySteriously recently, was
planned.
Further questioning of Mrs. Ma
son was to take place later today.
Meanwhile, murder charges were
being prepared. The woman was
arrested in a surprise raid on her
home early today, afer a medical
report on her daughters body had
disclosed large quantities OF arsenic
in the vital organs.
Neighbors Hint Foul Play
Investigation of the death and
elimination of the daughters body
came when neighborS of the family
told Coroner A. E. Allen of the pc
culiar circumstances surrounding
the girls illness last August.
Disclosure of the latest poison
death follows closely the unsuccesS-
full efforts of authorities OF Sem
AGA, Ill, and Lebanon. Ind, to
solves similar cases in those cities.
At Senaca a young girl died of
arsenic poisoning and at Lebanon
two children died as the result of a
poison picnic" where they ate
sandwiches containing Strychnine.

REJECT STONE.
FOR TOMB

Aim of the Government to make
the Tomb of the Unknown Sol
dier as nearly perfect as possible
was revealed yesterday with the
rejection of a lotion marble base
because of a microscopic flaw.
The base already is in place,
having been set up on the original
foundation, but it is to be re-
moved as soon as a perfect stone
comes from the quarries of the
Colorado firm which has the con-
tract. A 50-ton marble block, con-
Sidered by Brig. Gen. Louis Bash,
assistant quartermaster general, to
be the most beautiful carved piece
of marble in the world, will be
placed on the marble base.
General Bash, in announcing
the rejection of the base already
in place, said that under ordinary
circumstances the marble block
would have been considered per-
feet. He added that because the
tomb is so small and observers
can view it from closeup it was
considered that it must be as
nearly perfect as possible.

especially marked rise during the

the period from June to Sep.
tember 80, in comparison with

Jon that the crime situation could

clared:
