TERRIFIC STORM RAGES ON COAST Atlantic States in Grip of Severe Blizzard. ALL TRAFFIC INPEDED Snow to the Depth of From Twelve Inches to Two Feet Delays Steam and Trolley Service and High Gales Endanger Shipping. ‘Washington, Feb. 16.—Snow storms, amounting in meny places to severe @ales, swept the Atlantic Coast states and the Middle Atlantic region, cover- Ing many cities with from one to two feet of smow, impeding railroad traf- fio, halting trolley service and caus- ing intense suffering among those un- prepared. The storm region extended from the New England states as' far south as North Carolina, where the snow was changed into sleet and rain. New York city, Boston, Philadelphia and many citles in Pennsylvania, Balti- more and West Virginia cities were in the path of the gale. Off the Atlantlc coast raged a gale that drove small craft to cover and endangered many larger steamships. No loss of lite had been reported, though heavy damage had been caused. The intense cold in New England end the Middle Atlantic states mod- erated somewhat with the coming of snow, but ‘to the southward, where snow had ceased falling, lower tem- peratures were predicted. The storm developed off the Geor- sla coast and moved rapldly north- ward. It was central with much in- tensity off the south New England ooast, the wind at Block Island reach- ing a velocity of sixty-eight miles an hour, STORM COVERS LARGE AREA Seutheastern, Middle and New Eng- land States Swept.

WHITE HOUSE DISTURBED Administration Considers Secretary's Attack Untimely as the President Is Seeking Approval of His Policies in the November Elections. Chicago, Feb. 16.—Secretary of State William J. Bryan has assumed per- sonal responsibility for the editorial which appears in the current issue of the Commoner assailing the senatorial candidacy of Roger C. Sullivan. Mr. Bryan said that the White House was in no way involved in the controversy. Advices from Washing- ton were that President Wilson was not a party to the anti-Sullivan pro- nouncement. White House spokesmen, moreover, it was asserted on trustworthy au- thority, regarded the Bryan broadside as untimely and indiscreet. The revival of the old Sullivan- Bryan feud, according to Washington information, was viewed by the White House folks as a disquieting develop- ment just at this time when the presi- dent is looking forward to approval of his administration in the congres- sional elections. The fear is expressed that if Sec- retary Bryan and Mr, Sullivan stage another bitter contest such as tore asunder the Jeffersonian ranks in 1906 there will be grave doubt as to whether the present Democratic rep- resentation in congress from Illinois will be maintained after the next elec- tion. Regardless of what may be the at- titude of the White House it can be stated on good authority that Mr. Qullivan and Secretarv Bryan are PITEA Yor @ ‘hair-curlng -row ‘over Ilinois -between now. and the pri- maries. There. is a. possibility. that Mr. Bryan will come to Illinois and stump: the state’ when the campaign gets warmed up.

In announcing his candida- cy Hale said his ward was one of homes and he intended to truly repre- sent it by founding a home of his own. COMPROMISE IS EXPECTED Miners Firm on Wage Demands, but Settlement Predicted.
