SNOW PILED IN DRIFTS From 8ix to Seven Feet Doep—Stalled Autos Abandoned by Owners—Milk- men Have to Wait for Road Break- ing Gangs. Danielson, April 4. = Surprising Stories of the hardships experienced in the er eve blizzard began to come in Sunday, and it is evident that those Wko did not find it necessary to go out of town realize little of the severity of the big spring snowstorm. Abandoned automobiles lined _the roads In_the country districts about here Bunday morning, left by the drlv- ers after they had found it impossible to drive them through the big drifts, Some of which were six and seven feet in height. One of the automobile trucks that comes here every day from Provi- dence to deliver bread was left strand- ed crossways of a narrow highway aecroes the Rhode Island border. The griver spent the nignt at a farmhouse. machine from a local garage was ‘®iso‘stailed in Rhode Isiand all night. Country roads were more badly drift- ed than for years. Day street was choked to the muxzle and not a vehicle could througn it until a gang of snow shovelers cleared a path through Sunday afternoon. Some of the drifts in this section were reported as nearly ®even feet high. Near Westfleld cemetery there was a buge drift stretcaing across the high- ay near the tomb, this drift being six seven ep, ‘a5 reported Dy resi- dents in that section. In the southerly section of Putnarm, nd at other points along the trolley ine, drifts that the plows had forced way through left ‘snow piled level th the car windows. The Grosvenor- les got more snow and worse drifts than any place in this section, accord- ing to, the reports. It is believed that eight fo nine inches of snow fell here, but it was very badly drifted by ®he tigh wind. A number of milkmen were unable to get through to Danielson until Sun- day afternoon, when road breaking and a warm flood of sunshine recpen the traffic lanes. Al- housh the snow disappeared very rap- tdly “a Sunday, leaving _large slmh..l of ground in some places, ‘who went into the country to see. the drifts were very much im- Ppressed at the way it had piled up. d—A.

Havana, April 4—With their train- ing finished for the world’s champion- ship heavywelght battle on Monday, Johnson and Willard spent today idling and resting. With the strusgie for premiem honors only a few hours away, they were satisfied with a stiff walk early in the morning. Neither man is down to welght, and, as a consequence, both still abstain from taking liquids until noon Mon- day, As a matter of fact according to their statements, they have taken no_liquid in the past two days, Johnson spent part of his lelsure hours in picking up his__ belonsings, preliminary to leaving Havana after the fight.. He plans to sail for Mar- tinique Wednesday and will go from there direct to France or South Ameri- ca, depending on the outcome of to- morrow’s contest. His last word to- day was to tell the “fans’ tht he was in perfect condition and was sure of winning. He seemed more concerned over the 1oss of apair of new shoes than over his meeting with Williard in the ring. Johnson says he will enter the ring. weighing 225 pounds but he looks about ten pounds heavier than that. The gong will soung for the fight at, FIGHT RETURNS Megaphone Service at the Bul- letin Building Begins at 1 O’Clock. Megaphone announcements of the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard fight for the heavyweight cham- plonship of the world will be made from The Bulletin bufld- ing this afternoon. The first re- turns from the ringside will be recelved at 1 o'clock and the fight will be announced by rounds from then on. 12.30 and Johnson expects to leave his quarters for the arena at noon. Wil- lard with a party of Kansas friends lounged about the plaza for an hour. or two listening to the band concent. Crowds gathered around him every time he stopped. He retired early. Willard will take a brisk walk early tomorrow and will leave for the ring- side at 11 o'clock. He shows no signs of worry over the outcome of the match. He sald he expects to beat Johnson anyway the negro fights. The length of the battle, he declared, de- pends on the champion’s tactics, Willard’s camp partners said that their man will be a sure winner if he can break even with Johnson for the first ten rounds. Sunday would have been a great day for the fight, as originally planned. It was cool, with a good breeze and all indications paint to similar condi- tions tomorrow. There was a heavy sale of tickets throughout the day and the fight pro- moters estimated the total sale so far at $80,000. They expect to dispose of tickets to the value of $50,000 more at the four gates of the Marianao race course_tomorrow. The betting is very light considering: the calibre of the contest, there being only a few hundreds of dollars ac- tually in the stakeholder’s hands, de- spite’ much- talk of wagering. The best offer for Johnson's backers is six to five; the Willard men trying to get 9 to 5. The fact is that everybody is afraid to bet big money, as It seems impossible to figure the result. There is little talk of a fake but no- body seems sure of having a true line on Johnson's condition or Willard's fighting ability and power to stand punishment, The fight’ promotors announce that they will pay Johnson $30,000, accord- ing to the agreement, at il o'clock on Monday morning at his home. They also hope to take Willard, if he is a winner, to Key West and northward Tuesday. Refused to Confirm St. Louls Deal. St. Louis, April 4—B. B. Johnson of the National Baseball commission and FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL SATURDAY’S MARKET ACTIVE. More Than the Average Amount of Business Was Confined to Minor Issues. New York, April 3—Despite the in- tervening holiday and the snowstorm, which seriously interrupted communi- cation with out of town points, today’s twe-hour market session manifested pronounced activity and breadth. Of the unusually large overturn, however, more than the average amount of busi- ness was restricted to minor issues like the local fraction group, Rock Island, Eries and specialties. The va- Yious motor shares also contributed more than a fair share to the whole. Rock Isiand continued its erratic course, declining almost three points at the outset, but recovering later. Numerous specialties ranging from To- bacco subsidiaries to Continental Can rose two points or more, while Cuban- American Sugar rose 10 points to the accompaniment of stock or cash divi- dend rumors. Leading stocks moved irregular at times, but became more steady in the later ' dealings, with numerous net gains and lJarge individual transactions in U. S, Steel and Reading. Bethlehem Steel regained some of its decline of the early week and a few of the equip- ment shares made favorable response to betterment in that industry. Re- specting the steel trade, it was stated that export orders are running at double the rate of the closing months of 1914. Progress of general trade was traceable to Haster demands, but in the south and mnorthwest backward conditions' prevail. The day’s railroad news included February statement of earnings by New Haven and the Atlantic Coast Line, the latter showing a decrease in operating income of $187,000, while the former decreased its deficit by $719,000. No changes of importance were dis- closed by the bank statement aside from a' $14,222,000 expansion-of actual loans. Cash changes were nominal and excess reserves decreased by $1,015,000. Total sales of stocks amounted to 285,000 shares. The bond market was broad but ir- reghlar in the main. Total sales (par value) aggregated $1,881,000. U. S, ‘registered 2s declined 1-4 per cent. and the coupon 2s 3-8 per cent. on call during the weel. STOCKS.

Cameron, are no longer members of that league, and the actions of the other clubs of the league, New Lon- don, Pittsfield and Bridgeport, have beeh upheld by the decision handed down Saturday night by the national board of the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, The board finds that Clarkin, Carey and Cam- eron are without any legal right in their contentions that they can refuse to operate for a year the territory that they hold. and hold up the league's business and that President J. H. O'Rourke and his associates were within their rights when, at the meet- ing in New .Haven last month, they declared the franchises held by these three club owners forfeited to the league. LOS ANGELES AFTER OLYMPIC GAMES Claims It Could Furnish Big Crowds and Offer the Finest Climate and Scenic Setting the World. (Special to The Bulletin.) Los Angeles, Calif, April 4—The City of Angels is the latest to shy its hat in the ring for the Olympic games in 1916. Ut is generally belleved now that Berlin will abandon any attempt to hold the world’s greatest athletic meet and it seems obvious that -the contests. should be held in a neutral country. Los Angeles claims that it could furnish practically as large attend- ance as either Philadelphia or New York in Addition to offering the finest climate and scenic setting in the world. The opening of the Panama canal has brought Southern Califor- nia in touch with European countries by boat, so that distance would not figure materially. "Abandonment of the games for 1916 is not looked upon with favor in this country even though the great meet should have to be held with fewer nations than usually represented.

Will Be Help to Mack—Report Has It That Napoleon Is Displaying Great Baseball. 3 No one man in baseball could make up to a club for the loss of a quartet of stars like Bender, Collins, Plank and Baker, says George Graham, the Philadelphia sport writer. Lajoie is not going to be able to do this for Mack. The club without Baker will not be the invincible combination of other years. But Lajoie is going to help a lot at bat and afield to put the team in its winning stride. The opinion is based on a careful study of the big Frenchman during three weeks spent with the Athletics at Jacksonville, and is the most cheering note, from the fan's view- point, derived from this stay with the team. No body else disclosed an ex: — The| citing ability.’ Harper and Reed are fair pitchers. Davis may be good in couple of years. That exhausts the battery material. If Baker fails to come back the lack of his hitting and his steady fielding is going to leave a huge gap on the righthand corner. McConnell is hope- ful material. He is fast and acts like a hitter. He has vet to show his fielding ability. Bostick has a long way to go before he can rate as a big league third-sacker. Oldring will be used as a final expedient. It is need- less to deny that with Baker out, Manager Mack has a serious question to solve. He must get a third base- man. But he needn't worry about second. Lajoie can fall quite a litile short of what he was in the days of his peerless best and still be better than any of them save Collins alone. Lajoie in the training camp was a surprise to everybody except perhaps to a few of the veterans Idte Harry Davis, Ira Thomas, John Shibe or Manager Mack himself. For one thing, the wonderful hitter of two decades hes an entirely different personality from that suggested by impressions of him drawn during visits with other clubs. The swaggering, careless, easy tobacco-chewing Larry suggested at a distance a_tough, rough-spoken, self- opinionated star, who would.be im- patient of criticism, hard to manage TO NEW YORK $1 CHELSEA LINE FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SERVICE BETWEEN NORWICH AND NEW YORK From Norwich Tuesdays, Thurs- days, Sundays at 5.15 p. m.
