WEATHER MAN CAUGHT NAPPING Fails to Predict Storm of Gireat Severity. LARGE SECTION AFFECTED Disturbance Covers the Northwest, Middle-West and Portions: of the Southwest and Consists of Rain, Snow, Sicet and a High Wind—Max- imum Velocity Reached at Kansas City, Where a Gale Is Reported. Chicago, s==. ~%—Rain, snow, sleet and a high wind, which reached a maximum of seventy-four miles at Kansas City, created climatic chaos In the Middle West: Trains were de- layed and telegraph wires were pros- trated in every direction, particularly west of St. Louis and north of Chi- cago. The barometer in the local weather bureau stood at 29, only .25 higher than the minimum record here and but little higher than the known record anywhere iu the country. Al- though the Middle West was in the clutches of a gale which wrought some property damage in various sec- tions and, as in Iowa, took on the guise_of a blizzard, no such disaster was expected or predicted in the pres- ent instance. The most serious dam- age reported in early dispatches was the opera house was blown against & freight train standing a block away, injuring two persons. The weather map was in appear: ance almost without precedent. The isobars, indicating points of equal air pressure, wound like a lop sided spiral over the Middle West, centering at Chicago, where the gale was expected to break later in the day, and extend- Ing as far west as Omaha, West, south -and north of Omaha the map was a blank. Wires were down in every direction and reports were miss- ing. West of Chicago it was possible for only four states and territories— Arizona—to get in thelr reports, which was accomplished by using un- affected wires south along the Mex- fcan border. The wind blew seventy miles an hour at Springfield, Mo.; forty-six at ‘St. Louis; fifty-eight at Detroit and forty-eight at Galveston. The demoralized condition of tele- graph wires was attributable gener- ally to sleet.

STANDS BY ANLI-TRUST LAW Senate Committee Turns Down Pro posed Amendments. ‘Washington, s> @8.—Senator Nel- son, on behalf of the committee on the judiciary, has presented a report to the senate recommending the 'in- definite postponement of the bill amending the Sherman anti-trust law. “To amend the anti-trust law,” the report says, “as suggested by these bills, would be to entirely emasculate it and for all purposes render it nu- gatory as a remedial statute.
