Most relief Offices were showed under

day when the vessel reported it was
in trouble off the coast.
The liner reported by radio that
she had broken rudder post and
was hove to 35 miles southwest of
Diamond Shoals. In addition to
the Sebago, it was reported that the
salvage steamer Relief was going to
the rescue.
Further efforts we're planned to
free the 330-ton freighter Lillian
Ann. aground on Adam Island in
Hooper Straits since yesterday. The
crew of nine was taken off the
vessel last night by the Coast Guard
cutter Calypso, after a radio mes
sage for assistance had described
the ships plight.
Observers said that the Lillian
Ann apparently withstood the bat
tering of mountainous seas and cakes
of ice. The ship did not appear to
be seriously damaged and it was
thought that it might possibly be
dislodged today. The crew was
rescued in life boats put over by the
Calypso.
Bay Shipping Hard. Hit.
Other bay shipping was hard hit
with passenger boats and freighters
reported anchored all day yesterday
with their fog horns going. The bay
steamers City of Norfolk and City OF
Richmond reached port last night
nearly day late. The Norfolk was
bound for Norfolk, Va, and the
Richmond for Baltimore The
steamer State of Maryland was also
reported safe in Norfolk.
The Chesapeake Lightship was
moved five or more miles from its
moorings by gales before it could
anchor and notify the Coast Guard
Sailors said it hadn't made much
difference anyway, because visibility
was so bad during the storm that
none could see the light.
Road PIows Fail.
Mounting snow drifts, which piled
up as soon as snow plows passed
complicated the job of clearing roads
in Maryland and Virginia. The
Maryland State Highway Depart
ment reported late this morning that
traffic was moving along all prin-
cipal roads, although travel was
hazardous on the Eastern Shore and
in Southern Maryland.
Side roads were blocked still, and
many main arteries had been cleared
only enough to permit one-way lane
traffic. Snow drifts were 10 feet deer
on the Eastern Shore and 6 feet deer
in Southern Maryland.
Most Southern Maryland roads
were impossible, shutting off food
and medical services, and in some
places telephone lines were down
The defense highway, from Wash
ington to Annapolis, was opened late
yesterday after having been blocked
during the day.
There was no indication when
service on the Chesapeake Bay
ferries would be resumed. The
Mattapeake and Claibourne ferries
closed yesterday because of road
conditions on the Eastern Shore
where snow was piled up in drifts
10 feet deep.
Richmond Fights Snow.
Richmond, Va, surveyed the 16
inches of snow which covered the

calling upon the General Assem-

members to change the part or
portion of the costs and expens-
es to be borne by Municipalities,
Counties and the State of Ohio
for the elimination of grade
crossings.
Whereas, the General AS

the year 1899, by amending
Sections 1888, 6956-28 and 1929
9 of the General Code of Ohio to
provide that the part or por-
tion of the costs and expenses
of eliminations of grade cross
ings to be borne by municipali-
ties, counties and the State of
Ohio shall be 85 per cent in
stead of 35 per cent, as former
ly provided, and that the part
or portion to be borne by rail
roads shall be Is per cent in
stead of 65 per cent, as former
ly provided"
CALLS FOR $3.50 BASIS
The resolution goes on to
state in part that the 1899
amendment made it virtually
impossible for any more grade
crossings to be eliminated in
the State of Ohio where such
projects were not proceedings
pending at the time of the
amendments. The resolution
calls for an amendment to the
law, calling for the costs to be
levied upon a $3.50 basis to be
borne by the railroads and mum
icipalities, state and counties,
equally.
The foregoing resolution is
to be presented to the Newark
City council for action, and up
on it's adoption, Clerk of Coun-
Gil to certify as many copies of
same as necessary for use of
the Newark Civic Enterprise
Group.
The resolution adopted at the
Tuesday night meeting of the
association calls the present law,
harsh, unfair, unjust and dis
criminatory."
STATEWIDE EFFORT
Funds are being raised for
the purpose of sending copies of
the resolution to every city
council in the State of Ohio in
towns of 5000 or more, in the
start of an intense statewide
campaign to have the law
changed so that the cost of rail-
way crossing elimination will be
placed on a more equitable bas-
is.
Boards of Commissioners
throughout the state will also be
asked to join in the campaign,
and certified copies will be for
warded to all, asking that they

If the Columbus West Cow
boys are figuring to trek over
here to Newark and corral our
Newark Wildcats in this seas
on's grid opener as easily as
they smacked down the meek
Cats in last years opening
game, 1910, we figure the Cow
boys better look over their fig
ures again and take up a study
of mathematics.
Newark has been hard at
practice since August 20 and
will reveal a very formidable
eleven to grateful Newark high
fans and to the Columbus West
Cowboys. The Wildcats have a
veteran line back from last year
and should prove to be like a
brick wall when rival backs try
to crash through it.
The Cats backfield isn't quite
as strong as the line, but they
should be able to hold up their
end. In halfback Art Walsh
Newark has a triple-threat man.
Walsh is a fast, shifty and hard
driving back, along with being
an excellent passer and a good
kicker. In an intra-squad game
a couple of weeks ago Walsh
scored two touchdowns as his
team won over their teammates
1910. Last Saturday against the
alumni Walsh scored the only
touchdown and added the extra
point on a plunge to give the
present day Wildcats we'll de-
served 10 win over former Cats
of yesteryear.
Newark in winning over the
alumni last Saturday afternoon
at Whites field look to be a
good defensive team, due to
their strong line, but they must
develop a scoring punch If they
expect to make this season big
success. The alumni did con-
meet on a couple of long passes
which really did no harm at all.
However, we think the Wildcats
pass defense will be practically
air tight against the Cowboys
this Friday night.
A new conner to Newark fans
will be Art Craig, big right end.
Craig halls from Xenia where he
played both football and basket
ball. Craig, teamed with Bob
Smith at left end, gives the
Wildcats two excellent flankers.
Art Davis at right tackle and
Priest at right guard are two
outstanding linesmen.
Jim Cooper, a junior, will call
the plays from the quarter back
post. Eddie Allen will be the
blocking half. Art Walsh will
probably do most of the back
carrying. Max Davidson is the
full back and he may become a
real pile driver.
Odds-Ends-Newark will have
a chance to even things with
West this Friday night. In three
previous games between these
two schools West holds a two to
one edge, winning at West in
81, 300, losing to Newark at
Newark in 38, 1910, and winning
last year at Newark, 1910. West
will not be as strong as last
years. team Bob Winter
mute, understudy to Art Davis,
blocked punt against the
alumni that paved the way for
the lone touchdown of the con-
test j. The alumni never made
serious threat to score against
the Cats last Saturday, but
neither did the Wildcats make
many scoring gestures.
