ALL CHICAGO IN TEETH OF THIRD GREATJLIZZARD New Fall yf Snow Effaces Work of 100,000 Shovelers; Food and Coal Tieup Imminent. BULLETIN. Chicago, Jan 27. The Chicago, Burlington & Quiney tonight can. celled all trains to the Pacific coast because of the storm. (Br Assocl 'ed Frew.) Chicago, Jan 27 Chicago just re covering from the paralysis caused by two previous blizzards tonight again i faced isolation from the rest of the world as a result of the third storm within two weeks. The fear of famine, of coal tie-ups and milk shortage, of transportation suspension, and food embargoes which the city had twice faced and over come, confronted Chicago for the third time. Unlike its predecessors, which swept over the middle west on the wings of sub-zero gales, today's storm, forecast as probably the worst yet experienced by the city, came al most unheralded. Gently and monotonously all thrdugh the morning and afternoon ; the falling, driven snow effaced the fwork of 100,000 shovelers, while the weather bureau held out no hopes of relief until tomorrow. i At 6 o'clock seven inches of snow had fallen and there were no signs of abatement. The temperature at that hour was 10 degrees above zero. The general superintendent of the belt line railway said that while he was switching cars at a reduced rate today, if the snow continued the rail ; road yards would be tied up com pletely for the third time since Janu ary 5. As fuel and food supplies are at a low ebb because of the previous storms, another tie-up, it is said, "f ould be serious. ' ' Snowstorms were general over South Dakota with sharp drops in temperature. Des Moines .and central Iowa reported an abatement of the storm there. Cold waves were for cast for Vyyoming, Colorado and east ern New Mexico. BILLY WATSON HAS "PEP SHOW AT THEGAYETY The chorus with Billy Watson's show, which opens a week's stay at the.Gayety theater, has an easy time of it. Most of the entertainment is filled by Billy with his celebrated slide and funny throat sounds. The is beautifully costumed when it does appear, and it helps Kathe rine Page, Mae Dix and Hazel Josse lyn sing no less than eight songs which tell of the charms of "Dixie" and their dear old southern home. There is plenty of pep to the show, with the discharge of revolvers, smashing of crockery and demolish ini? of hitrh silk hats. Three darkey boys, knbwn as the "Three Crackerjacks," do a specialty with Lulu Coates, and they certainly can do some dancing. Miss Coates is alsn a dancer and singer, and fair th Innlf unon. The "Cafe de Graft" and "Dr. Skin's Sanitarium" are the places in which the two acts of the show are staged. In both Billy Watson takes the lead ing part and occupies the center of the stasre most of the time. His shoe ?oles are as well resined as ever and he is still burlesque's champion long- - distance slider.. , .

(By Associated Press.) Washington, Jan 27. The first definite step toward limitation of non essential enterprises requiring capital expenditures was taken yesterday by the Federal Reserve board. A committee of three bankers was appointed to act in an advisory ca pacity to the capital issues committee of the board in passing on applica tions for approval of issues of private securities. The advisory committee, together with committees' organized by each of the twelve federal Reserve banks, practically will administer the new system, which is based entirely on the theory of voluntary co-operation on the part of capitalists. ' Through the federal Reserve bank committee and the advisory commit tee the Federal Reserve board's capi tal issues committee will give or with hold its sanction to proposed issues of large amounts.

Forbes, member of the firm of Harris, Forbes & Co., New York, bond dealers; F. H. Goff, president of the Cleveland Trust company, and Henry C Flower, president of the Fi delity Trust company of Kansas City. The committee's counsel will be Bradley W.

Newton of Denver is to be assistant executive . secretary. All will serve without compensation. Trafffc Bureau Manager . Attends Hearing in South Proposed increases in freight rates on classes and commodities from New Orleans to Omaha and other Missouri river cities are giving the Omaha shippers some concern. C E. Childe, manager of the traffic bu reau of the Commercial club, has gone to Memphis, Tenn., to attend a hearing before a special representa tive of the Interstate Commerce com mission on these proposed increases. The railroads have asked authority to file drastic increases in rates on classes, and on practically all com modities. Mr, Childe says this would disturb the relationship of Omaha and other Missouri river cities to in terior Nebraska and Kansas points. It would place Omaha at a serious disadvantage compared with interior Nebraska competitors in the handling of freight originating in the south.

COMMERCE-TECH IS PLAN FORJEW HIGH Board of Education Starts Year With Project for Institution; Propose $1,000,000 Bond Election in Spring. The Board of Education, under the leadership of its new president, W. E. Reed, is starting the year with the project of a new High School of Com merce under consideration. The board proposes to obtain an estimate of the cost and to submit to the vot ers at the spring election a bond proposition in the sum of $1,000,000. President Reed favors the estab lishment of a commercial and tech nical high school in one building, which has been done in other cities. Last summer the board received an estimate of $750,000. for a proposed new High School of Commerce, ac cording to plans and specifications which had been prepared. . It is conceded that labor and ma terial are higher, but the board feels that it will be able to keep well with in $1,X)Q,000 if the bonds should be approved. Members Make Comments. I he following comments were made by members: Mr. Talmage: The situation now at the High School of Commerce is a serious one, being dangerous to health as well as being a fire hazard. Something of a serious nature is go ing to happen there if we don't watch out. If the voters turn this proposi tion down, then our hands will be clean." President Reed: "I favor a com mercial and technical high school Our present manual training is a joke." Mr. Brogan: "I think that the peo ple snotiia decide this question at a bond election, notwithstanding ad verse conditions, and I feel confident that the bond issue would be ap proved." Mr. Bekins: "I think this is inad visable under present conditions. We would pay twice as much as the buildinar would be worth." Mr. Talmage: "If Mr. Bekins' views should prevail, then I would favor abandoning the High School of Com merce until a new building can, be obtained. Mr. Brogan: "The National Council of Defense does not favor curtail ment of necessary educational im provements. This proposition can be defended and will be sustained. The high cost of material and labor prob ably w.Il continue for five or six years alter the war. . .

UENATE War Cabinet Measure Will Be Pressed by Senator Chamber lain to Overcome Alleged Incompetency. (By Associated rrraa.) Washington, Jan. 27. Senators supporting the administration and those favoring radical reorganization of the War department are planning to renew their fight this week on the senate floor. Senators Williams of Mississippi. Tames of Kentucky and Simmons of North Carolina are among those ex pected to speak in support of the ad ministration. Senators Hitchcock of Nebraska and Wadsworth of New York plan ad dresses in favor of legislation estab lishing a war cabinet and director of munitions. In the house also administration supporters expect to speak next week and Secretary Baker probably will appear before the house military com mittee, during the week. Keen public interest in the situation was indicated today by the many ap plications for seats in the senate, the military committee and house next Ionday. i Secretary Baker, when he appears before the senate military committee Monday to make the administration's reply to Senator Chamberlain's speech in the senate Thursday on war de partments shortcomings, plans to take both congress and the country more fully into the confidence of the gov ernment as to war preparations both at home and in France. During the day he conferred with many officials and spent a short time at the White House. The secretary said he would not prepare , a state ment in advance, but would speak from notes and figures he has at hand, showing the exact state of preparer; ness attained by the army. Further disclosures of army condi tions were made public today in ad ditional reports of secret testimony at the senate committee s war inquiry. Efforts were made at the capitot to have the senate committee grant Mr. Baker's request that he be allpwed to make his statement where' anx members of the senate and house who desired to hear him could do so. There were evidence tonight that the sessions would be held in larger quarters in the senate office building. Several senators, Representative Kahn. ranking republican of the house military committee, and others today urged such a course upon Chairman Chamberlain. Documents passing between Quar termaster General Sharpe and his su periors said that owing to the army clothincr shortage.

Choate Called Dunce' By Teacher, He,Admits Th late Joseph Hodges Choate, ambassador and jurist, was the school dunce in boyhood days in Salem, Mass. , "You don't know nothing and you never did know nothing and it don't seem as if I could ever learn you nothing," is what his school teacher told him. Mr. Choate tells of this incident in an autobiography of his youth and early manhood, recently published privately. He was prepared for Harvard by this teacher, who, in spite of his le lentless manhandling of the King's English, seems to have been well up in the classics, inasmuch as he had young Choate ready for college at sixteen. After graduation he went to New York, where he had hard sled ding, having gauged his expenses by the standards of Salem. He used to walk three miles twice a day from his room to his office, for his fees as a young lawyer permitted no bus fares. - Among the first friends he made was the family of John Hopper, who married late in life and was not Messed with any offspring until De Wolf Hopper, of "Casey a: the Bat' fame, was born. Mr. Choate tells of the great event of the arrival of De Wolf. The elder Hoppci was so engrossed with the wonderful quali ties "f the youngster that one day he seized the baby by one leg and held him out of the window for friends to admire. He recalls vividly his first "case." Two farmers, he says, came down from Vermont with a suit against a railroad for damage to two cars of potatoes which had been frozen. Mr. Choate argued the case for one whole day and proved to the satisfaction of m V WTO all concerned, except the represents tives of the road, that the cold snap which ruined the tubers was not an act of God. At the end of the session, the two rural clients asked Choate how much they owed him. He was modest and placed a value on his services of $3. They beat him down and settled for $2. At 25 Mr. Choate was established as a lawyer. At 29 he married Miss Caroline Dutcher Sterling. He con sidered that his real career began at this time, and here he ends the auto biography of his youth. .New York World. . Rccollections of a Late American Duel A few days ago the newspapers contained brief paragraphs announc ing the death at Washington of rrea eric May, '.lie owner ot yachts ' race horses. Brief as the paragraphs were, they all mentioned the fact that May fought a duel with James Gordon Bennett in 1877. With the lapse of more than 40 years that sen sational incident, which tilled the papers of its time, has not been for gotten. The death of one of the men involved in it invites to reflection. At the time of the duel the two young men stood practically at the same level, both were rich men s sons, having more money than was good for .them and devoting them selves to sports and .pleasure. On of them, however, continued to make sports and amusement his chief oc- nnt!n n t A n (ta. A 1 S ( . 1. t sort of life, passes on with a record of a dozen lines in the newspapers.

American Hen's Unchallenged Right to Cackle The American hen has been called on to take her peck at the1 meat situation. The food administrator has started a campaign similar to that of the make-a-garden propaganda of last spring, it calls tor a more general use of the backyard for the raising of poultry. Roadsides are to be pla carded and appeals are to be made to farmers and possible poultry raisers through the newspapers. xne Department of Agriculture has set aside about $200,000 for booming the poultry industry through the de- ?artment of animal husbandry alone, ohn H. Robinson, a poultry editor of Boston, has been, drafted to write poultry articles and send out hen ad vice of all kinds. It is expected that the backyard chicken will release enough hens to make it possible to send considerable poultry to the allies in place of other meats. Already 1,000,000 pounds of chicken have been contracted forby one of Mr. Hoover's representatives to be shipped to the boys in France. The stock in cold storage is already large. . W. F. Priebe has been made the hen member of. Mr. Hoover's cabinet. He knows the chicken business from the foundation up, for the company of which he is the head operates 17 big plants for killing, dressing, pack ing and shipping chickens from the west. In one year his concern han dled 16,000,000 pounds of dressed poul try. Mr. Hoover also promises to reduce the cost of chicken feed ma terially. He has sent out a message to the American Poultry association in which he says. "Increased production of poultry can be effected much faster than beef, pqrk or mutton.

Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian for eign minister, after delivering his' speech in reply to the recent addresses''' of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George, indicated in subsequent f remarks, under questioning of social ist interrogators that the speech had , been delivered quite as much that hiss views might come to President Wil sons attention as for the benefit of those whom he was immediately ad dressing.
