Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 20 (®—The extreme portion of western New York, from Buffalo south along the shores of Lake Erie, today was en- gaged almost exclusively cupation, that of It from one of the worst snowstorms in its history, certainly the most severe October plizzard of which it has any record. Snow in depth from nine inches to four feet mantles the ground all the way from Buffalo to Erie, Pa. The storm over the lake was accompanied by a gale, which drove the big freight- ers to shelter and for a time caused much concern over the safety of some. Eight boats early today still were behind the buffeting edges of Long Point, Ont., but the wind had subsided considerably and they e pected to proceed today to their des. tinations. No considerable damage was done to shipping, although the steamer E. E. T.oomis, which left Buffalo Saturday midnight with package freight, had put in at Erie, Fa., with much of its cargo soaked Thunder With Snow The big and unseasonable snow storm was of freak variety. In this city snow plows were plunging through a nine-inch depth in the scuthern part, while in the central and northern portions the ground showed not even a trace. Then toa, in places it was reported that thunder and lightning accompanied the snowfall. The heaviest fall was in the vicin- ity of Angola, where the four foot depth on the level was attained. All through the affected section automobiles were stalled, many of the cars being those of tourists who had started out unprepared for wintry conditions, during the sum- merlike weather earlier in the week. ‘Wires were down in all directions.. trees were leveled, the unharvested grape crop in which western New York prides itself, ruined. Farmers lamented the loss of fruit tiees, in some instances entire or- chards having been wiped out. Farnthouses Crowded Autoists who abandoned cars by the hundreds plodded their way to farmhouses in search of food and shelter. The houses soon were over- crowded by the wayfarers. Snow plows were endeavoring this morn- ing to push their way through-to them with supplies. urgent appeals having been sent out last night when the few operating telephone lines brought word that provisions were running low. In one ordinary sized farmhouse two miles north of arnham, Erie county, no less than snowbound autoists were being accommodated.. The beds in the place were too few, even to the women and children of the party, members of which slept on floors from cellar to garret. The Chamber of Commerce of Silver Creek today took steps to {ind accommodations for 1,300 persons marooned at that hamlet. These people mostly were motorists, from many different states. Their cars were caught in the heavy drifts, which in some places rose as high as ten and twelve feet. Hote reconing houses and many privat residences were pressed into service to care for, the unexpected crowd The chamber established a head- quarters for the direction of the stranded tourists and Boy and Girl Scouts assisted in guilding strangers to the homes of hospitable villagers. Some of the motorists entrained for home, leaving their cars in the srow-filled highways. About 400 automobiles still were stalled in and near Silver Creek early today. Snow Crashes Roof: The weight of the snow crashed in the roofs of several garages and that of the Chautauqua and Drie station at Silver Creek. The Angoia hotel roof and the Acme Veneering company roof at Orchard Park col- lapsed. The front wall of the hotel was forced three feet toward the street. Twenty-five persons in the place at the time fled and escaped injury when the bulging walls gave ‘warning. Power lines were down in great number, as were communication lines. Fmploves of the Niagara- Hudsoh Power Company and the New York Telegraph Company were out in force in an effort to repair the damage, Many of these repair gangs were able to reach their des- tinations only by traveling on horse- back. Interurban in one oc- veli oW, was endeavoring to recover wa bus lines and heavy transportation vans were abandon- ed. Several of these big trucks stalled at various points between this city and Dunkirk. A Cleveland- Buffalo bus and a Buffalo-Chicago bus were among the vehicles stalled at Angola. Snowed in at the Y. W. C. A. eamp at Farnham, 30 girls this morning were awaiting rescue. The party had sufficient food on hand, but the members suffered from the cold. The camp was without lights last night. Boy Scouts, isolated at Toad Hollow, had a merry time in camp and ralioed that they were owballing and enjoying them- selves fmmensely. The first automobile which ac- tually ran, which incidentally was steam propelled, was built in France between 1760 and 1770 by Capt. Nicholas Joseph Cugnot. | Elsie Janis Injured In Wrestling Match Hollywood, Oct. 20 (UP)—Elsie Janis, former stage star and now a writer for the screen, carried her arm in a sling today as the result of an unsuccessful attempt || to give a wrestling lesson to Ra- | | mon Novarro, the film star. || It was just too ridiculous,” } Miss Janis said in explaining how she recelved the painful, but not serious injury. She and Novarro were “clown- ing” at her home, she said. “I was just about ready to claim victory when he gave his body a slight twist and my shoul- der slipped out of place,” Miss Janis explained | PRINCE OUSTED AT CERMAN THEATER Emperor’s Brother Forced Out i Dy Scent Bombs Frankfurt-am-Main, |Oct. 20 (A—Prince Takamatsu, | brother of the Japanese emperor, and his consort were driven from the opera house here last night by bombs of foul odor thrown by fas- cists. The bombs, which were accompan- ied with cries of “Hail Hitler” and “Germany awake,” were not direct- ed at the royal visitors, but were hurled in protest against the oper: | “Rise and Fall of the City of Ma | hogany,” but the prince | cess, rather puzzled, hastily left the auditorium amid considerable hub- bub. Police Arrest Several Police dragged out several dis- turbers during the performance and cleared the auditorfum after the final curtain. Outside they dispersed a menacing crowd. The real tumult began inside when 12 or so demon- strants, evidently planted in various parts of the house, began yelling, whistling, and chanting, and released their bombs. .

LEADERS CONTEND {Both Political Parties Predict | Gontrol of Congress | | | Washington, Oct. 20 (P—Spokes | men for both major parties were out today with flat predictions they control the house after the November election. s Jouett Shouse, chairman of the democratic national executive com | mittee, for the first time yesterday placed his formal declaration beside | the optimistic pronouncements of | other members of his party. “A dispassionate summary of the facts, allowing full consideration to over-optimism in some of our re- ports,” led to the conclusion he said Wood Gives Reply Representative Will R. Wood, or Indiana, chairman of the republican congressional committee, immediate- ly replied: “The next house of rep. esentatives not only will be repub- | lican, but safely republican.” Shouse predicted a minimum gain | of 60 seats and added he firmly be- lieved the overturn would be closer to 70. He counted at least seven | seats in New England, at least 15 in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland an West Virginia, and all districts los* in southern states two years ago. To these he added 30 seats in tl middle west from Ohio to Kar “This may seem excessive,” li said, “but when it is realized that at present we have only three seat: in Indiana, three in Ohio, six in 1lli Dois, three in /Kentucky and six in Missouri, whereas we will have a majority of the delegations in most of these states this time, it will be seen that there is no exaggeration.’ Wood replied: *“The republican landslide of 1928 to be allowed by a land- opposite direction on would November 4. Will Hold Its Own nerally we will hold our own November elections; we alse will capture a few districts now rep- resented by democrats. Democratic forecasts of today mean no more than the forecasts of two years ago.’ Touching on the senate situation | Shouse said the democrats might ~ | gain a majority of one in that bod: | it the party's candidates won in { three out of the five states he classed |as doubtful — Illinois, Minnesota | South Dakota, Colorado, and Wyom ing. But, he said, the issue was toc close in too many states to justity prediction of a democratic majority in the senate. | Glass is transparent because its {molecular structure is such that it | permits the light rays to pass | through without regular diffusion of the light.
