TREND OF WEATHER IS WARM AND DRY But Mildness of Winter Here Is Far Less Than in 1889-90. It's getting warmer this Winter— and dryer—but so far no startling records have been broken, according to J. B. Kiffter, statistical expert of the ‘Weather Bureau. Mr. Kincer has at his finger tips every weather record ever hung up in Washington, and whenever an aspiring reporter comes to him with a sugges- tion that some new record of one sor or another is in the offing, he promptly pulls out a deskful of data to show that something worse or better in the way of weather has occurred before. As for this mild Winter we are hav- ing this year, quickly spiked a record-suggesting rumor with indisputable figures show- ing that unless sweltering tropical weather prevails here the remainder of this month, the mild-Winter record of 1889-90 wilt stand. 44 Degrees in 1889 “Back in 1889 and 1890,” Mr. Kincer pointed out yesterda: “the average daily temperature for the whole Winter period, which covers December, Jan- uary and February, was more than 44 degrees. The temperatures so far this Winter have averaged under 40 de- Mr. Kincer does not dispute the pop- ular notion that we are having a mild ‘Winter, however. The average daily temperature in December was 35.7 de- grees, which was almost a degree under normal, he said, but January and Feb- ruary have Dbeen nearly 4 degrees above normal. The average daily tem- perature in January was 37 degrees, and the average so far this month has been about 40 degrees. The warmest days this Winter were on December 10. when a 55-degree temperature sent the mercury 11 points above normal: January 27, when 64 degrees was 18 degrees above normal, and February 13, when 58 degrees rep- | resented 12 above normal. December had been above normal in temperature for three years in the past, the records disclose. In 1929 the daily average temperature was 38.4, in 1928 it was 39.7 and in 1927 it was 39.1. January of this year was the warmest since 1916, although 1923 was featured by a January almost as warm as the , in reality. It happened in November, which is the last month of Autumn, under Weather Bureau calculations. On November 29 the thermometer registered 14 degrees above zero. The coldest day in Decem- ber was on the 17th, when 15 degrees was recorded. The coldest day last month was January 16, with 16 de- grees, and the coldest this month, to date. was February 11, with 21 degrees. While on the subject of frigidity, Mr. Kincer recalled that the lowest temperature ever reached in Washing- ton was 15 degrees below zero, on Pebruary 11, 1899. Big Snow Deficiency. ‘The present Winter has been marked by a snow deficiency of about 15 inches, the statistician said. The only meas- urable snowfall this Winter occurred on December 17, when 2 inches was noted. The average total snowfall in December is 4 inches. There was but & trace of snow in January, when 6 inches usually falls, and none has fallen this month, although there usually is 7 inches by this time. Moreover, rainfall has failed to com- E:ute for the snow deficiency. In ember the total precipitation was 2.04 inches, whereas the normal is 3.32 inches. In January only 1.56 inches fell. as compared with a normal 3.55 inches, and this month 1.28 inches have 'been measured, when normal rainfall would have been 2.48 inches. The entire rainfall in 1930 was 51 per cent of normal in this section, and since the firswof this year the precipita- tion has been only 47 per cent of normal. The mild conditions are -general throughout the country, except for the New England section, Mr. Kincer stated. Out in the Northwest the warm weather is breaking State records, while in the extreme Northeast tip of the United States the Winter has been a bitter one. COLLEGE BOOTLEGGER GETS PRISON TERM! Law Student and Outsider Given Penalties After Pleading Guilty. By the Associated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mich, Pebruary 21.— A 'student bootlegger and a bootlegger whose liquor caused the closing of five fraternities on the University of Michi- gan campus, were sentenced on pleas of guilty today. Orie Brown, freshman law student from Spencer, Iowa, arrested January 27 for selling’ liquor, was sentenced to from six months to two years in Michi- gan State prison. with a recommenda- tion by Circuit Judge George W. Sam- ple that he be required to serve 18 months. Albert Looney, not a student, whose arrest last week precipitated raids on the five fraternity hou: ter ordered closed for the remain of the year by university authorities, was given a | similar sentence, with a recommenda. tion that he be required to serve the full two years. In presenting Looney's case to the court Prosecutor Albert J. Rapp said | Looney had paid only $27 & ccse for the whisky, which he sold at a much higher price, indicating, the prosecuto said, that the liquor was “rank poisos Robert Custer, senior in the univer- sity School of Education, and Alan Thompson, non-student, both of Ma- rion, Ind., have not been brought be. fore the court. They waived prelimi nary examination on charges of pos. sessing liquor. They were arrested a the same time as Brown. RENAMED POSTMASTER AT FREDERICKSBURG Capt. Harrison Nominated by Presi- dent Hoover for Third Term. Special Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICKSBURG. Va. February 21.—Capt. Gunyon M. Harrison, World War veteran, has been nominated by President Hoover for reappointment as postmaster here after having completed iwo four-year terms since his initial appointment by President Harding in April, 1923. The nomination was sent to the Senate, where confirmation with- out opposition was expected. Since Capt. Harrison took over the office here, succeeding the late J. B. Rawlings, the considerable increase in volume of post has resulted in an for instance, Mr. Kincer, 1WA New York Senator’s Fourth Year Struggling for Such Measures. Difference With Secretary Doak .Latest Opposition He ‘Encounters. BY WILLIAM HARD. Senator Wagner of New York is now in the final throes of the conflicts which have caused him to become the out- standing authority and influence in the development of unemployment perma- nent relief measures at Washington. In all of these conflicts, extending through four successive years, he has encountered steady and determined op- position from the Government depart- ments concerned. His victories have been romantic tri- umphs of dogged, drudging perseverance against overwhelming official odds. The score is now along about 65 per cent for the Senator and 35 per cent for the opposing regulars. The Senator began the fight in 1927 with four propositions and has added several since. He came to Washington well equipped for a political struggle. He had been & member of the lower House of the New York Legislature, then a member of the upper House of it, then Lieu- {tenant Governor of the State of New York, theén a justice of the New York Supreme Court. While in the upper House of the New York State Legisla- ture he had been for eight years Dem- ocratic leader. Native of Germany. Born in Germany of a family in straitened financial circumstances, h retained in New York City and in New York State throughout his local and State-wide political career an abiding |sympathy with the financially dis- | tressed and a buoyant zeal to cause the public authorities to be of assistance to them in all legitimate and genuinely effective ways. He earned a great rep- utation for & mingling of humane sen- timent and of hard sense in his work in 1911 as chairman of the New York s‘t:u Factory Investigating Commis- sion. He is robust, resolute, vivid, alert, very good humored, quite given to laughter, not at all given to malicious vituperation—a vigorous fighter, but a clean one. He is to the utmost what is colloquially known as a “regular fel- low.” He is both a reformer and an “organization man.” His success in Washington is due to his having both the instinct for improving the common lot and the instinct for organized prac- tical political rfare, His first three propositions were in the form of bills for (a) better Fed- eral unemployment statistics, (b) ad- vance planning of public works, for more jobs in bad times and (c) in- creased Federal financial co-operation with local employment-finding agencies. While these three measures. however, were reposing unregarded in the Senate files, he came forward with a motion for causing the Bureau of the Census in 1930 to make a count of the unem- ployed. Census Count Opposed. ‘The motion drew a fire of objections from the Bureau of the Census and Commerce, which includes the Bureau of the . Census. Administration ele- ments '°“fim the motion energetically. It nevertheless ultimately prevailed. The count made of the unemployed by the Bureau of the Census last year was Senator Wagner’s first victory. His next victory, which still remains only partial, was the passage last year by both the Senate and the Hous: of his bill for better permanent, continu- ous gathering of unemployment statis- tics by the Department of Labor. This victory remains only partial because, to date, in consequence of & host.le lack of interest by administrative dignitaries, no competent appropriation has been u behind it. Persistence, neverthe- , by Senator Wagner has now at length extorted from those dignitaries a recommendation of such an appro- priation and it is likely to be enacted soon. Senator Wagner's second victory will then be completed. His third victory was achieved the other day when the President signed his bill for the advance planning of public works against the needs of bad times. This bill had been passed by the Senate last year. It had been re- 12 REPORTED DEAD IN GOLD MINE BLAST Explosion in Canada Felt 20 Miles Away—Doctors Rushed to Scene in Plane. By the Associated Press. NORTH BAY, Ontario, February 21.— A glaring flash, a terrific explosition felt nearly a score of miles away and a pall of smoke were the only evidences late today of a possible tragedy at the power plant of the Hollinger gold mines, 17 miles from Timmins. A Teport that 12 men were killed had not been verified. There was no | telephone within five miles of the mine | property. | An sirplane carrying two physicians was sent to investighte. Mine officials said not more than three men were working at the prop- { erty removing old* machinery and de- stroying old dynamite.

C. FEBRUARY 22, 1931—PART O\, GNER'S BATTLE FOR JOBLESS | BILLS SEEN MAKING HEADWAY SENATOR WAGNER. ferred in the House to the Judiciary | Committee. There, by the dominant | regulars, it had been cut and slashed and mangled and left for dead. Sen- ator Wagner devoted himself without discouragement to its resuscitation. This year, with the help of some lively members of Col. Arthur Wood's special Emergency Committee for Employment, he succeeded. No Funds Appropriated. The bill was picked up and & con- siderable number of its vitals put back into it. It received House approval, Senate approval, White House approval, and became law, but without an appro- | priation to make it go into practice. The getting of that appropriation in a competent sum still lies ahead of Se ator Wagner to accomplish. In the meantime he is preoccupied today with his sudden fight against| Secretary of Labor Doak in the matter of his bill for further Federal aid to Jocal employment agencies. That fight is one of the most peculiar incidents of this session of the Congress. Secretary Doak, before _becoming Secretary, had committed himself to Senator Wagner’s employment agencies | bill. After conference with the Presi- dent he has committed himself against | it and has come forward with a bill of | his own. This bill eliminates the idea | of any Federal effort to strengthen local State employment agencies and adopts Pthe idea of creating & mew enlarged | Federal employment agency system un- | controlled by. Civil Service and wholly | open to be entirely filled with political | appointees. Doak Seeks Assistarice. For this latter idea Secretary Doak has endeavored to secure the spproval | of the American Federation of Labor and of its constituent unions from the ranks of which a large number of the ! | appointments would presumably be | | made. Senator- Wagner is a strong| | labor man, but has refused to release | his labor supporters from their promise | | to support his bill which, unlike the Doak bill, contains strong protective | Civil Service features. | _The Wagner bill, again unlike the Doak bill, establishes councils of em- ployers and employes to assist in the administration of the employment agencies to be aided by the Federal| Government in order to enlist the in- terest both of the private citizens who wish jobs and of the private citizens who can give jobs. The deepest point in the conflict, however, is that Senator Wagner con- scientiously prefers to promote the lo- cal State employment agencies through Federal encouragement while the ad- ministration, conscientiously in opposi- tion to that proposal, has been driven |to draft the Doak bill carrying the | Federal Government by itself into a | greatly expanded. employment finding | | effort through Federal officials through- | out the country. | This is the severest of all the strug | gles that Senator Wagner has en countered in the course of his unem ployment relief activities in Washing- tol In each one of them, successively, he ‘has walked into the wall of official opposition. Perhaps he will be able to knock that wall gradually down sagain. | Irrespective of the merits or demerits | of his ideas it can be said of him that | he has certainly brought ideas to Wash- ington and has certainly done battle for them with a fertility and a fearless- ness not any too often observed in our | public life, German Student | Dies by Accident In Friendly Duel (Copyright. 1931 Combat Was Planned Simply to Determine Better Man.

CHICAGO, February 21.—That mud- slinging campeign, known officially as the Chicago mayoralty primary contest, reached its climax today in a burst of flery oratory and another libcl suit. Additional bands, dozens of screech- | ing ballyhoo wagons, scores of speak- ers, and columns of newspaper space warned voters that Tuesday is near at hand and with it the power to name | for the highest office in the second city. Some of the “whispering campaigns” || that the candidates in the hotly con- tested Republican race have objected to came out in the open today. Lyle Charges Slander. Municipal Judge John H. Lyle filed 2 $100,000 slander and libel suit against George O. Fairweather, assistant busi- ness manager-of the University of Chi- cago, a supporter of Alderman Arthur F. Albert, saying Fairweath-r had indi- cated, in a letter released to the press, that Judge Lyle was connected with a burlesque theater. Mayor William Hal: ‘Thompson, | meanwhile, charged that Lyle was sup- | ported by Anton J. Cermak, the Demo- | cratic candidate, who has no organized | opposition. Thompson said Democratic | workers were helping Lyle in the Re- publican primary “so th-y would not hlv‘en Bill Thompson to run up against Violence is Foreseen. Voters were reminded of the possi- | bility of violence next Tuesday by both Lyle and Thompson and the polic> and State’'s attorney both laid plans to pre- vent any outbreak at the polls.

All Camps Optimistic. All thrie. camps lssued optimistic claims of victory. Thompson's man- agers asserted they had 500,000 signed pledge cards, indicating victory for the present mayor by about 200,000 The Lyle headquarters predicted he would win by 100,000. Roy O. West, former cabinet member and manager of Al- bert’s campaign, sald his candidate would win “if the men and women Who prefer him will vote.” The campaign will continue until Jate Monday night, thanks to the radio. Today was the big day in the drive as it always has been, but rather than let the voters go home and reflect as in |, the old s the candidates will send out last-minute appeals through the air.

By the Associated Press Chairman Nye of the Senate Cam- paign Expenditures Committee an- nounced yesterday he would not intro- duce at this session a resolution to un- seat Senator Davis, Republican, Penn- | sylvania, as he at one time contem- | plated. Nye said the committee had com- || plet:d its investigation of Davis' ex- penditures and planned no further in- quiry, but he did not want to an- nounce definitely that he would not introduce the resolution at a future time. The North Dakotan has claimed that more than $1,000,000 was spent on be- half_of the Republican ticket headed | by Davis and Francis Shunk Brown, gubernatorial candidate in the primary. but he said he had “grave doubts” of the advisability of attacking Davis' right to his seat beeause of the difi- | culty in ascertaining, what portion of | this amount could be attributed to the | senatorial contest.
