CITY TO MISS
FULL FURY Of
WESTERN GALE
Sharp Temperature Drop Is
Predicted, However, by
Weather Man.
MISSOURI is HARD HIT
12-Inch Snowfall Reported
in Springfield; Telephone
Lines Down.

A sharp drop in temperature will
greet shivering indianapolis citi-
zenry tomorrow, according to j. H.
Arlington, local meteorological, but
the worst storm of the year now
sweeping over most of Missouri,
eastern Kansas, most of Iowa and
eastern Nebraska will pass to the
west and north of the city.
The storm and it's accompanying
snow rain and chill winds, is NOV
ing north and east from the gulf,
where it had its origin. Fortunately
for indianapolis it will pass on into
Wisconsin with the brunt of it's fury,
Mr.. Arlington said, but it's inf1u-
ence will be felt here.
The abnormal warmth, pushed
ahead of the gulf born tempest, will
pass and tomorrow the mercury will
drop to the freezing point, chill
finale to the rain which has been
playing here for the last two days.
Not so fortunate are the cities and
towns lying in the storms path.
The full force of the snow was re-
ported from Springfield, Mo. The
fall there by 7 a. m. measured twelve
inches and it still was showing. The
snow was wet and heavy and it
took a toll of long distance and local
telephone cables in the Springfield
section. The telephone company re-
ported f1fty-four toll lines out of
service. Snow-laden tree limbs also
were breaking wires. Transporta-
ton was almost at standstill and
those automobiles moving battled
drifts and went at slow pace.
Highways were slippery and driv-
ing was dangerous. The highway
department was clearing the main
arteries as quickly as possible, how
ever, and except in the vicinity of
Springfield expected to have the
state dug out by night.

rotary of state, who will be sworn
in tomorrow, and under whose di-
rection the securities commission
will operate.
Mr.. Mueller could not be located
today to confirm the change. al
though Mr.. O'Neill has returned to
the city and learned unoficially of
his impending removal. He made
no statement, but was reported like
ly to resign rather than be removed.
No explanation for the change
other than that of department
routine" has been given. However,
some observers viewed the reported
Montgomery appointment as a po-
litical plum for st. Joseph county's
part in the Democratic state con-
vention.
1t was recalled that the nomina-
ton was swung to United States
Senator Elect Sherman Minton
when st. Joseph county's big dele
cation cast its vote for him on the
fourth ballot.
Mr.. Montgomery and Rudolph
Alderman, Third district Demo-
cratic chairman, were handling the
senate candidacy of Professor Clar-
ence (Pat) Manion of Notre Dame,
and presumably obtained the re-
lease of the delegates when. it be-
came apparent that Professor Man
ion could not win.
Mr.. O'Neill was the center of a
spirited controversy in August when
he was charged by many persons,
including T. NJ. overly, indianapolis
Better Business Bureau manager,
with alleged negligence in the case
Of Mann 81 Co.. an alleged bucket
shop. which closed with an esti-
mated loss Of s250,0OO to its Gus
toners.
Most observers, however, were in
clined to credit the political reward
theory for Mr.. ONeill's removal,
since Governor McNutt defended
the securities commission against
the negligence charges in the Mann
case.

of the three little girls were found.
California authorities, in recon-
structing the crime, said Noakes and
Miss Pierce, his housekeeper, were
in love and fled Roseville, with the
three girls, so they could marry
NoakeS' wife died two years ago,
leaving him with the three children
to care for. He was employed as a
helper in the yards of the Pacific
Fruit Express Company. His salary
was only 500 month.
Six months ago Winifred Pierce,
his niece, left high school and en-
tered the home to attend the chill
dren during the daytime hours when
Noakes was working. She returned
to her own home at nightfall.
There were evidences of a growing
attachment between the widower
and the school girl, whom many
friends regarded as attractive and
extremely likeable. Mrs. j. o. Glib
by heard the gossip circulating
through this small Sacramento val
ley farming center, a community of
5000 persons. She went to her
brother and advised him of the re-
ports.
Apparently they quarreled and
soon none of the Noakes and Pierce
families were speaking to the
widoWer.
Foreseeing further objection and
possible interference, Noakes and
the girl apparently planned secret
departure. Noakes bought a 1929
Pontiac sedan on Nov. 10 from Will
liam Sutton, local dealer. He paid
SAG cash as down payment on the
machine.
The next day neighbors noticed
that Noakes and his children were
missing. Nor was the Pierce family
able to locate Winifred. They left
no word behind, nor sent any mes
sage during their fight.
