ATLANTIC STORM - CRIPPLESBSHIPS Two Killed at Sea and 10 in France in Sweep of Gales. By the Associated Press. Eight crippled vessels struggled to reach port today in the wake of howl- ing gales which swept the North At- lantic and Bay of Biscay, off the French coast. ‘Two persons lost their lives at sea in the storms. Ten were killed ashore in Prance as the violent winds whis- tled in from the ocean, causing wide- spread damage. Many were injured and damage resulted estimated to total several million francs., The 2993-ton Greek steamer Eftichia Vergottis sent out & wireless appeal for assistance, saying her steering apparatus was disabled. The ‘vessel gave her position as about 46 north latitude, 8 west longitude in the Bay of Biscay. Ttalian Ship Sends S O S. In the same area the Italian steamer Caterina Madre, terrifically battered by mountainous seas as she wallowed helpless from loss of her propeller, broadcast an SO S. The same vessel encountered diffi- culties last Friday and a tug was sent to its assistance. Another Italian steamer, the Speitro, reported she was in distress in the Mediterranean Sea. Her 8 O S was picked up by the Casablanca radio station. ‘The Ottinge, a British vessel, was in trouble for the second time in three days. Her message to Lloyds said she had broken from her tow line and was in urgent need of aid from a ship to pump oil to the windward and quiet the seas crashing against her superstructure. The Ottinge lost her rudder off Lands End Friday night. ‘The United States Shipping Board freighter Oakman reported she lost her rudder 700 miles north of the Azores, but was in no immediate danger. The S. S. Newport News was standing by.

From the Pacific came word of an accident to the Japanese motor ship Taihei Maru which left her helpless 250 miles west of Cape Flattery with disabled engines. A Coast Guard cutter was sent to her aid. The Coast Guard ice cutter AB-24 sank in Great South Bay off Long Island, N. V., after ice floes punctured her hull. The crew escaped.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Febuary 25.—Chicago’s sleepiest political campaign dragged to a finish today, with the Democrats matching the Republicans yawn for yawn. Tonight clerks will shake the mice out of the ballot boxes and set up elec- tion machinery which costs them over $200,000 to operate. Tuesday citizens who can be stirred to the point of voting will nominate candidates for mayor. Political writers who predict a | sweeping victory for Mayor Edward J. Kelly, a Democrat, used the word “campaign” with apologetic quotation marks. Not even the entry of Mrs. Grace Gray, the first woman to seek the nomination, stirred any particular interest. She is a Republican. Historically, and particularly in the Wild West days when William Hale “Big Bill” Thompson was on the scene, Chicago primaries were melo- dramatic affairs which sometimes got to the shooting stage. This year a dog fight could steal the show. None of the candidates oppos- ing Mayor Kelly had as much as a headquarters, let alone an organiza- tion. ‘Things were equally as quiet among the Republicans. Attorney Emil Wet- ten, regarded as one of the two most likely contenders for his party’s nomi- nation, became {ll when the season opened and issued a platform only yesterday. Organization Democrats predict a record-breaking majority of 400,000 votes for Kelly. — British Mail Heavy. More than 6,000,000,000 letters and packages were mailed in Britain last year. .

KANSAS CITY, February 25— Blizzards, tornadoes and dust storms —=a strange weather mixture—marked their passage with death in the Mid- west today. Four persons were killed and more than 130 injured by storms which struck between tne Mississippl and the Rockies. ‘Tornadoes ripped over a narrow triangular course from Wichita, Kans., to Commerce, Okla., and Joplin, Mo., last night, leaving damage estimated unofficially at more than $200,000.

Twc women were killed in Chicago traffic accidents attributed to & wet, blinding snow. Dust, snow, sleet and rain storms presented a baffling hodge-podge over Western Kansas, Eastern Colorado and the Panhandle country as a norther pushed rapidly toward the Texas Gulf Coast. ‘Trains, busses and motor cars were delayed by the heavy veil of dust. Planes were grounded. Temperatures —Springlike for a week in much of the area—fell toward zero. Forecasters predicted one of the worst snowstorms of the Winter for Northern and Central Illinois. High- way maintenance crews worked throughout the night in Iowa, fight- ing steadily growing drifts. Colorado, Wyoming and south-central sections of Nebraska reported between 6 and | 8 inches of snow. Three inches of sleet covered the ground in Northwest Missouri.
