Friends here feared for the future of popular

In the midst of uncertainty, arrived cable

Addressed to Envoy Finot, the message read:
THE president of the republic desires me

Bolivian luncheon of thanksgiving fol-
lowed the presidential dispatch from La Paz
MRS. GLORIA VANDERBILT has been at
1V1 tracing much sympathy and attention in
diplomatic circles during her brief visit in the
capital
There is no question that diplomats COM
nllserate entirely with Mrs Vanderbilt in her
fight to win her daughter, Gloria, from the Gus
tody of Mrs. Whitney. Many of the ENJOYS are
personal friends. Others admire Mrs. Wander
bits poise and her facility with foreign Ian
guages.
Both she and her sister, Mrs. Ben Thaw,
were guests at a diplomatic dinner the other
evening. and later Mrs. Thaw went to : dance
in honor of the retiring minister of Cir -ce and
Nine. Charalambos Simopoulos. Mrs Wander
bilt, however did not accep. the dance invita-
tion explaining that she las been through such
an ordeal lately that she has little desire for
gayety.
What many persons do not realize is that
Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Thaw are related to
sister of Don Jorge Matte, former finance
minister of Chile who used to visit at the
Chilean Embassy here. This sister later became
the wife of Don Miguel Cruchaga, now Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Chile and former ambas-
sador to Washington.
Perhaps this explains in part the beautiful
Spanish spoken by both sisters. Mrs. Thaw also
amazed diplomatic friends by carrying on a
long conversation in Norwegian with the wife
of foreign envoy.

ONE DEATH LEFT IN THE TRAIL OF
 SEVERE STORM
Little-Eight--Year Old Girl
 Was Killed Here Yesterday

One fatality, numerous accidents and general tie-up in traffic re- suited late yesterday afternoon, last night and carly this morning as a result of the severe snow storm which visited the city. The snow began falling yesterday morn ing about 8 o'clock, but during the afternoon and evening it was whip ped along by q brisk wind. The snowfall ceased at about o'clock this morning and was followed by cold weather which up to noon to- day continued to force the mercury downward in the thermome eter.
 The Connecticut Light and Power Company and the Southern New England Telephone Company escaped without any trouble as a result of the storm. The Connec- ucut Company, aside from one bus accident on Walnut street, was able to battle the storm suc- cessfully. Trolleys and busses were kept up to schedule. The trains and busses of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company and the busses of the Short Line also ran on schedule, despite the heavy storm.
 The covering of snow on the ground today was approximately nine inches in depth. Towards the end of the storm last night the mercury was high in the thermom- eter with the result that some of the snow melted. During the early hours of this morning this semi melted snow froze and made walk ing and driving highly dangerous In all sections of the city automo- piles skidded and many persons fell sustaining numerous and var jed injuries.
 On the whole. though, traffic was greatly reduced this morning and pedestrians took to the busses and trolley cars.
 Over three hundred men of the street department were on the job early this morning and aided by

HEAVIEST SNOW
 OF THE WINTER
State Felt Its Effects Dur= ing Many Hours of
 the Storm

New Haven, Feb 2.-(UP)-The heaviest snowfall of the winter blanketed Connecticut to-day and forecasts indicated a continuation of the storm later in the day.
 Weather observers reported 1o.1 inches had fallen. slightly more than during the blizzard a month ago.
 The storm, indirectly responsible for two deaths, brought work to hundreds of unemployed clearing state roads and city streets. This morning all highways were re- ported passable and transportation running on normal schedules.
 Emil Jederlund. 54, Georgetown, and Violet Falzone, 6, Waterbury were killed last night by automo- piles which skidded on slippery roads. Jederlund suffered brok- en neck when struck by a car driven by the Rev 0. o. Eckhardt, Georgetown, and the Falzone girl succumbed to a skull fracture re- ceived when struck by a machine operated by Dianis Grenier, Wa terbury.
 Scores of accidents were report ed due to icy highways.
 The groundhog basked in the warm avs of the morning sun, forecasting another six weeks of winter. Government observers said a cold snap probably would follow later to-day, bringing more snow and even more disagreeable conditions.

GREAT BRITAIN RAISED GOLD TO
 HIGHEST LEVEL
Had to Keep Pace With United States-MOre
 Gold Is Bought
By w: c. QUISENBERRY Press Staff Corresnondeu

United Press Stan Correspondent,
 London, Feb 2.-UP)-Great Britain, maneuvering today to meet American monetary operations, thrust the price of gold to the ua- precedented height of 139 shillings and 6 pence, a new record.
 The dollar had receded from it's opening price of $4.99 1-2 to the pound sterling. to $4.96. and at this quotation, the gold price was equivalent to $34.SO a fine ounce. The franc, meanwhile, had stiffen- ed to 76 11-16 to the pound sterl- ing.
 Gold purchases totaled 300 bars, at approximately S40,O00 pounds sterling, ($4,166, 400 at the current rate). The high price set by Lom- bard street eliminated much of the expected profit from buying in London and selling-if possible in New York.
 For the first time since Great Britain went off the gold standard. the gold price was fixed without reference to the official buying rate of the bank of France, and with out premium on the French franc.
 The resultant price was purely the result of giving free play to the law of supply and demand, al- though, incidentally, the American official buying price exerted a gretaer influence on demand than did the sterling-franc exchange rate.

TOUHY JURY IS
 NOT YET READY

Chicago, Feb 2.-(UP)-A "mys- tery" jury to-day deliberated the John Factor kidnapping case, in which the prosecution asked the death ,.enalty for Roger Touhy, gang leader, and two companions.
 The jury's failure to bring in an immediate verdict led to con- lectures of a favorable verdict for defendants, Touhy, Albert Kator and Gustav Schaeffer.
 After seven and a half hours of discuss: In, the jury was sent to bed at 12:50 a. m. with instructions to resume deliberating at g a. m. Outbursts of shouting and noisy de- bate could be heard in the jury room during the night.
 The designation of mystery" jury grew after elaborate precau- tions were taken by the jurors to guard the progress of their study. Bailiffs who entered the jury room were prevented from talking with the jurors, and were told to make their visits brief.

 Run Until May

Washington, Feb 2-(UP)-A 950,00O,O00 unemployment relief bill, designed to continue the fed eral wing of protection over the nations jobless, was reported to the house today by the appropria- tons committee.

 Hopkins asserted that the CWA was set up as an emergency meas ure for the winter only" and that he expected that by May a pickup in PWA work, and industrial and farm conditions would make pos sible complete demobil.za,ion."
 A graphic picture of the uDem- rloyment situation was presented the committee by Hopkins 1t was revealed by publication of his tes- timony at secret hearings. He min imized graft" conditions in the CWA, warned that millions of job less will present a federal problem when normal times return, and estimated that 3,000,000 persons would be on relief rolls through out 1884.
 As a permanent solution to the unemployment problem he said "scheme of unemployment insur- ance is going to be necessary"

NEW YORK TAXI
 DRIVERS STRIKE
Commuters Had to Wade Through Snow Drifts
 on Way to Work

New York. Feb. 2-CUP)-Com- muters pouring into the worlds greatest taxi-riding city and office employees hurrying to work were forced to trudge through snow drifts whipped by a spanking wind today because several thousand of New York city's 14,500 taxicabs were held idle by a sudden but eff fective strike.
 Selecting a psychological mo- ment-the day after heavy snow storm. when cabs are most in de- mand-the night hackmen voted to walk out. Day drivers coming to work were advised that the strike was in progress.
 Tn the main, the newcomers needed but a number of drivers had to be "persuaded" not to take out cabs. Some were pulled from their cars in traffic.
 Although there were conflicting versions of what the cab men were striking for, it was generally con- sidered means of forcing employ CTS to turn back all the five cents a fare tax to the drivers. The tax, passed by the former Tammany administration as source of rev. enue, was subsequently, declared unconstitutional.

BANDIT SANKEY
 HUSTLED AWAY
Drop Lindbergh Queries for Present = Another
 Kidnapping Faces Him

Chicago, Feb 2.--(UP)-Man- acled to huge department of justice agent. Verne Sankey, con- ffessed kidnap per, was taken to Sioux Falls, $. D., to-day to face trial on charges of abducting Charles Boettcher, II, of Denver. Sankey's removal from Chicago was accom- plished with such dispatch that one of the guards designated to accom- pany him was left behind. Eight federal men surrounded the elu- sive suspect as he was hurried aboard a train bound for Sioux Falls.
 Federal department of justice agents indicated they had dropped their attempts to learn whether Sankey could shed any light on the Kidnapping of the infant son of Col Charles A. Lindbergh. It was believed, however, that St Paul. gasoline station operator would view Sankey when the train reached tfat city to determine whether Sankey was the man who placed several long distance tele- phone calls from the station to a point in New Jersey at the time of the kidnapping.
 Sankey probably will be tried with his wife, F n, at the next session of the federal court in Pierre, s. D. Mrs Sankey was seized yesterday near Sioux Falls. In addition to the Boettcher kidnap- ing, SanlSey has confessed the ab- t.uction of Haskell Bohn, St Paul youth.
