Over Dozen
Deaths Charged
to the Storm
Snow Blankets Area from Pacific
Coast to St Louis lluch
Suffering Caused.
Kansas City, Mo., Not. 1. It was
a white Thanksgiving day in the
west.
Snow blanketed a wide area from
the Pacific coast east to St. Louis,
giving the traditional background for
the holiday.
The snow scene was painted with
a wide splash during the day across
the Texas Pan-Handle, northern Ok
lahoma, Kansas, eastern Nebraska
and Missouri for the first time this
season.
A new storm was raging in Mon
tana, which, like other Rocky moun
tain states, has been snow-covered
since the first of the week. For the
Pacific coast there was a white coat
ing in the high mountain regions.
The gaiety lent to the Turkey day
festivities was not without its tragic
siae. .wore man a aozen aeams were
charged to the snow and cold in the
mountain regions and a party of five
motorists drowned in a rainswollen
creek near Tyler, Tex.
Much Suffering.
There was much suffering among
persons marooned with little food
and shelter, principally Navajo In
dian pinon nut'pickers in New Mex
ico, at least nine of whom froze to
death.
John Moody, a sheep herder, was
found dead from exposure near Glen-
rock. Wyo.
Among the missing were Robert
Gordon and Billie Haines, 15-year-
old boys who were last seen leaving
for school Tuesday. Searching par
ties combed snowdrifts near Colum
bia Falls, Mont., for the youths.
Blizzards conditions were reported
around Bozeman, Mont., and many
highways were blocked in that state.
A fleck of nine hundred sheep wan
dered onto thin ice on a reservoir
near Matla. Mont., during a snow
storm and drowned.
Some Planes Through.
Blinding snow and low clouds
caused the cancellation of numerous
air mail and passenger flights, but
some planes got through in the af
ternoon.
Most of Montana, Wyoming, Colo
rado. Idaho, northern Utah and a
good portion cf New Mexico were
under from a few inches to two and
three feet of snow in the mountains,
with muih deeper deposits where
there wai- drifting.
Minnesota and North Dakota were
virtually all snow-covered, but there
was no further fall today.
The unexpected storm in the vi
cinity of Kansas City found an Am
erican Beauty rose blooming under
heavy swirls of snow in the garden
of Mrs. J. T. Bradshaw. Apple trees
near Columbus, Kans., bore both
blossoms and trimmings of snow.
Temperature were not severe.
The Kansas wheat belt received a
protective covering of an inch to two
inches.
0XTJ C0TOC3 07 PUTTE FOUND
: Lincoln. Vov. 31. That flats
northeast of Ashland In which the
wells that will provide Lincoln its
future 'water supply were once the
bed of the Platte river as claimed by
geologist, was verified when work
men digging the trench for a pipe
line to the wells uncovered, about
eight feet below the surface, an old
beaver dam and wbat appeared to
be drift wood,
. Pieces of the dam and of the drift
wood were taken out of the ditch
and are In care of the contractor,
who reported the find to City Com
missioner William Schroeder, head of
the water department.
The find is "intensely interesting."
Prof. A. L. Lugn, geologists at the
university said.
"It verifies the claims of geo-
- logists that many years ago the
Platte river channel passed
through an entirely different
territory than that which it now
traverses," he said. "From the
standpoint of time as considered
by geologists," he added, "this
would not be long. But as time
is considered by people gener
ally, it might have been several
hundred years ago."

BAIL WAGES ABE STUDIED
Montreal James Murdock. vice-
president of the Canadian Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, told the
board of wage conciliation hearing
proposals for a 10 percent cut in
railway workers' pay that Canadian
operatives receive 6 1-2 percent less
than Americans, even when extra
compensation to the dominion men is
added to the scale. Thursday's pub
lic conference of the workers and
representatives of the two leading
rail systems was devoted mostly to
discussion of "arbltraries" paid for
services performed before and after
their regular runs. Murdock said not
more than 2 percent of Canadian em
ployes in the twenty-one brother
hoods received a "fraction of 1 per
cent in 'arbitraries'."
All evidence was handed over to
the board, which is composed of J.
M. MacDonell. Toronto, chairman,
and Isaac Pitblado, Winnipeg, fur
the coir.psmes and Dr. J. C. Hem
meon. of McGill University. Mon
treal. The three will conclude their
deliberations in private. Their re
port and recommendation later will
be submitted to Gideon Robertson,
dominion minister of labor.
SOCIALISTS HEAR SHAW
Feltzeir SKuoe Co.
The Home of Quality Footwear &
London George Bernard Shaw
preached an eloquent funeral oration
on socialism. In his annual address
before the Fabian society, the inner
circle of intellectual socialists in
England, of whom Shaw has been
the hif?h priest for many years, he
declared there was nothing left save
for the Fabians to call themselves
communists.
"You are either communists or
you are what Ramsay MacDonald and
Viscount Snowden are whatever
that is," Shaw said. "Communism ts
a force which will be set up against
capitalism. There is nothing left of
bolshevlsm, collectivism, anarchism
or class war. Only communism re
mains."
After all, Shaw said, Russian com
munism was nothing more than the
program the Fabians had been
preaching for forty years.
"Under the pressure of practical
application," he explained, "the sov
iet government has turned commun
ism into Fabianism. But the com
munists won't take our name so we
must take theirs." Altho proclaim
ing himself a communist a term he
aid he )lked Shaw devoted most of
his address to illustrating' with' wif
and epigrams " and 'shortcomings ' and
difficulties of the soviet government,
