Snow, swept along by the high wind, began falling early In the day. Occasionally it would melt In spots as the sun broke through the blan ket of gray clouds, but last night, wtth the temperature standing at 11 above, what remained gave every in cilcation of covering the ground for some time to come.

Death of Ebert Unleashes Hate of All Parties Politicians Scramble for ^ a cant Office as Germany Plans Burial of First President. By KAMI, H. VON WIKI.AND. Universal Service spiff C orreepondent. Berlin. March 1.—Even the majes ty of death scarcely is able to hold in check the interparty political hat reds for a, few days while the nation is mourning at the bier at. the first dead president oftherepubllc. All signs Indicate that the tolling of bells Wednesday throughout the count rv marking the closing of the grave over hVIcderlch Ebert, son of the people, will l»e the signal for the] opening of the bitterest campaign of hate between political parties ever seen in Germany. President Ebert, who with marvel ous tact, sagacity. Impartiality and firm tenacity all these years manag ed somehow to keep the country's equilibrium, is gone. As yet. there is no one In sight to fill his place. Former Chancellor and now Prus sian Premier Marx is being groomed as the candidate of the moderate par ties while the nationalist groups on one hand and the radicals on the oth er have agreed thus far among them selves only on assailing anyone who Is put up by the moderates. Nationalists Attack lliin. The tactlessness and bad taste of a small portion of the press of every pafty trying to make political capital out of the death of the president re veals that political passions can hard ly be held in leash until after Thurs da v. The political and mental complex of Germany In its present stage of transition when the glories of the one time monarchy Hie silll unforgot ten with republicanism slowly taking deeper root, was shown today. When all the world was sending messages of condolence and sympathy to the presidential widow and the German people, many of the nationalist papers cannot refrain from Indirect mud slinging and are harping that Ebert still stands accused for treason, and that high officials in his own social ist party and in the regime under him are Involved in gigantic, graft and corruption, though nothing was proved against him personally. No Cavalry Escorts Body. Tn front of the presidential palace lieutenants of police In new blue Un stead of green) uniforms demanded by the interallied military control, arc on duty. The remains of the president in the midnight transfer from the sanltor turn where he died to his home, were not honored with an escort of cav alry, but was accompanied only hy mounted police.

Berlin, March 1.—The funeral of President Rbert, will 4>e held at 1 Wednesday afternoon In the Wilhelm masse palace, which Is being used as the executive mansion.

The lody will be taken under mili tary escort through Wllhclrn#!rasse to the Reichstag steps, where the hearse will halt while President [>iel>e of the relrhstag delivers an address on behalf of that body and the public will have an opportunity to pay its reape,-ts to the dead.

Add 224 Miles to Route By VINA LINDSAY, I niiersttl Henlre Sfnff t urresponth-nf. Kansas City, March 1.—Gradually the great open spare of (he middle west edge closer to the lights of Broadway and the stock tickers of Wall street. Fifteen hours to Gotham by mail soon may become a reality for Missouri cities. The proposed loop in the trans continental air mail ine, including on its circuit three cities, Kansas Cltj, St. Louis and St. Joseph, further will lessen business barriers between the effete east and the corn producing hinterlands. Within a few days the three Mis souri cities will present to the Post office department at Washington a joint appeal for the establishment of an air mall loop which will connect them at Chicago and Omaha with the transcontinental line. Would Serve !,0041.900. if the appeal of these cities Is an swered, and the loop established, a letter mailed at Kansas City will reach New York in 15 hours, one mailed at St. Joseph will arrive In 16 hours and one mailed at St. Louts in 12 hours. Letters mailed from these cities to the west coast will reach San Fran cisco in less than 20 hours. The loop would add 224 miles to the air mail route, would require an additional flying time of two hours and would serve 2,000,000 persons. The three cities petitioning for the loop will shew In their appeal to the Postoffice department just how much revenue would he provided the got ernnient through the air mail loop. The Kansas City survey- ha* shown that businesses will spend $350 daily on air mall. Important business letters mailed from St. Joseph at 2 In the after noon, or from Kansas City at 3, or from St. Louis at 6. would reach New York at 6 the next morning. At present such letters must l>e sent by train to Chicago to be put in the air mail. • Thousand, Sated. I'iie loop would mean large finan cial savings to the banking Interests of this territory. Thousands of dollar a would be saved actually in interest on money by lessening the time of transit to New York. One bank here, which sends daily to New York checks amounting in value to from $500,000 to $2,500,000, would send all checks of $1,000 or more by air mail. Bond houses, merchants and ship pers would benefit financially through the loop. Branch manufacturing houses would be aided in facilitating communication with their home of fices in the east. The entire trade territory of the southwest would profit by the air mail loop, as cities In Oklahoma, Kansas. Texas snd other regions could send mall to Kan sas City by train for air mail de livery, instead of taking the longer route through Chicago. STONE TO ASSUME ROBES OF OFFICE Washington.

Washington, March ' 1.—Trans mission of photographs over tele phone wires 3,600 miles long simul taneously to three cities was tested here today by the American Tele phone and Telegraph company and was declared by officials to have been a complete success. It was the first time such trans mission , of photographs had been attempted to more than one city at once and over so great a distance. Nearly a dojfen pictures were sent to New York, Chicago and San Francisco, only seven minutes being required for each print, officials of the company here were in- touch by telegraph with their office In three cities and were told that the experiment was without a hitch. The demonstration was arranged, tlie officials said, as a final test be fore announcing the establishment of a general transcontinental pic ture transmission service and to perfect arrangements for sending pictures of the presidential inaugu ration Wednesday. One of the pictures transmitted today was of President and Mrs. Coolldge, taken as they departed this morning from the First Con gregational church. Within seven minutes after the negative was placed on the titonsmittlng machine the picture was available for publi cation In New York, Chicago and San Francisco, XVhile the demonstration was In progress, a photograph was taken of the machinery and a group of spectators. The film was developed and ready for transmission within half an hour and seven minutes Inter duplicates were In fv* three cities. It was the second public demon stration of the apparatus, which was perfected by engineers of the liell Telephone company and the American Telephone and Telegraph company. The first test'was made last May. it Is possible to transmit a pic ture fiye by seven iuvhes. which, after ordinary development at the receiving end. Is practically undls tingnisliablo from an ordinary photograph, officials said. Time Is saved In transmitting photographs, they pointed out, be cause it is possible ot use film be fore It has dried after development. The film is inserted In the trans mitter In cylindrical form, and a beam of liglu is passed through It at uniform speed, reproducing the picture on a photo electric cell. The light beam passing through the film moves over its surface much as a phonograph needle circles a record. Intricate machinery trans fers the light ray to an electric current In a telephone line, and, fn turn, .at the receiving end, the cur rent is transferred to another light ray, which reproduces the photo graph on an unexposed film. Regarding the proposed trans continental service, officials said tlte same system could he used In transmitting photographs by radio when atmospheric conditions are such that steadiness of transmis sion and freedom from Interference can he assured.
