In New York, where the suffering; among the poor Is intense fourteen inches of snow nau fallen when dawn came today moie than was registered here all last winter. A milk and food famine is threatened A seventy-five mile wind , has swept the coast, driving to shelter or to clangor every craft, big or littie, in its path. The dentil lint of the storm in New York nlcme had reached live early to day with three dying from other points indicated that the total would be much higher when the final tally Is made. Mavor William J. Gaynor was im perilled while trying to reach bis home at fit." James," Li I., and escaped with his life by a narrow margin. One of his companions was fatally hurt by .being blown from a trestle. The mayor "aed himself by a similar fate by lying on the tracks, clinging to the ,.na Affni- n hnttle of half an hour ho reached the home of a friend and was put under the care of physicians, " Traffic In the city and suburbs was praetically stalled, and throughout the whole area affected by the storm was seriously crippled, nearly every train reaching New York being behind time. The Long Island Railroad was forced to abandon all attempts at traffic, and six trains were stalled all last night and late into today between Hemp stead and Jamaica. Without food, the past-engers suffered intensely. Today relief expeditions were sent out to thein and all energy was devoted to 'clearing the tracks of snow drifts, which In some places were almost level with the tops of the cars. Situations nearly a bad abound through the storm swept section, from Indiana to the Atlantic, ami from' Vir ginia to Canada. Hut the worst hit spot on the map was Greater New York. Street Cleaning Commissioner Ed wards enrolled an army of extra hands, besides the regular White Wings of the city, and thousands of men labored to keep the streets In condition even while the storm was doin its worst to clog them. Transportation companies today turned their attention to keeping their rights of way open. Every line in the larger city was idle running with an. occasional and halting sei'vice. Trolley lines were hardest hit and some in the remoter districts shut down altogether, marooning thousands ol persons In their homes. In the tenement districts suffering was intense. The wind whistled' through the streets with terrific fury and llimsy tenements offered poor sln-ller. Thousands took . refuge in charitable sleeping places; the muni cipal lodging house held hundreds and a string of relief-seekers filled almost every police station. '1 nc hospitals, too, were overcrowd ed. Many pedestrians who had been over come on the streets were found today, most of them in a' precarious condi tion from their terrible ordeal, and the hospital surgeons were kept on the jump. One nine-year-old boy, Frank Miles, was reported dying today in Roosevelt Hospital. He was se"bt on an errand by his mother and was overcome on the .street, toppling head foremost into a snow drift. Only the accidental stopping of an automobile nearby led to his -discovery" before he had suc coiiiticd, : S. iucs i f "taxienbs" and other motor vehicles ln-ld in drifts and in many instances horses could make no head- way against the storm and were taken to safety, leaving their wagons dere lirl.. : i nit at sea "the .blizzard raged with fall n.iee. holding; the great liners in as sirong -a' grip as the smallest ves- il in its wake.

New York, Jan. 15 A cold northwest wind this forenoon blew away the last remnant of the worst blizzard that has swept New York since 1888. It leaves the greater city and the sur rounding country smotherer under a blanket of fourteen inches of snow. Seven persons lost their lives, three. were mortally hurt and hundreds of others sustained minor injuries. BOSTON CENTER OF STORM TODAY (By Leased Wire to The Times) Boston, Mass., Jan. lli Boston Is to day the center of a storm of wind and snow which has piled up drifts ashore and tremendous waves at sea along the coast from Delaware Breakwater to Portsmouth, N. H. and from Indiana to the Atlantic. The storm is headed in a northeasterly direction and will probably sweep the maritime provinces before its force is broken. The big drifts have seriously delayed railroad travel and While the constant use of 22!i snow plows on the electric street railway tracks in Boston and vicinity" has kept the lines open they are but little more than nominally open as the cars are running when they can, with out regard to schedule. The snowfall has been heavier than at any time since 189S. At S o'clock this morning the measurement of the level was c.bout eleven Inches with tho prospect that the fifteen inch mark would be reached before night. Ac companying the snow is a wind which has ranged in velocity from 40 to 70 miles an hour. Only two vessels have left Boston harbor since the storm began. All the other, both steam and sail, paid atten tion to, the storm warning displayed by the weather bureau and are either alongside their wjjarves or . anchored where the wind does not strike them. Capo Cod suffered severely and the pros pects are that 1t will be several days before travel can be resumed. Tho gale which attained hurricane force across the open stretches qf country piled the snow high across highways and railroad tracks and not a wheel Is turn ing on the entire cape.

The terms of the truce were made public yesterday through statements issued by President Taft, Representative Hayes, acting for the insurgents and Representative Dwlght, the "whip" of the house, speaking of the regulars. A pursual of all three declarations shows that the hatchet has been buried for the time, and that it will be dug up be fore the close of the caucus to be held Some of Your Friends-Some Berne, Lucerne, Paris, Versellles, London, Liverpool, thence home. From the above itinerary it will be seen The Evening Times has not spared any expense to get the best of European tours. In addition to these two trips there are many other magnificent prizes, all of which are worth working for. The Other Prizes. There is a $400 Christman Piano purchased of and on display at Dar nell & Thomas, which is the second Grand Capital Prize, and if this was the first prize it would be well worth putting forth a few weeks effort on your part to secure it. After the $400 piano there is a $400 set of furnittire, and this : is really worth. $400 as any contestant will readily see who will call at Royall & Bor den's, where this set of furniture is on display. The furniture speaks for itself. 1 The fourth Grand Capital Prize is a $350 piano purchased of and on display at Weathers Furniture Co. The District Prizes. ' i To each and every one of the four districts there are two prizes.

Hy Cable to The Times.) London, Jan. 15 The real test of strength (n the general election came today when balloting opened in twelve London and (14 provincial constituent eies. returning nearly 80 members of pailiment. Interest throughout the country was at fever heat and In many places the police were called out to quell disorder. The Lancashire elections were.one of the principal centers of interest, be cause it is in that industrial district particularly at Manchester, the cotton center that the first sign of how the election goes, is usually obtained. The earliest returns today were of unopposed candidates. The first report, were J. W. Lowther, unionist, for Pen. rith; Cumberland; Patrick O'Brien, nationalist, Kilkenny; Sir Edward Car son and J. Campbell, unionists. Dub lin University; and S. P. Butcher and J. P. II. Ttawlinson. unionist. Cam- bridge University. ,-.' Among the constituencies voting to day were Birmingham, Wolverhamp- . ton and Bolton.

Against these the government block was the opposition of Conservatives 142, and liberal 'unionists 26. That liberal major, ity, returned In 1906, was the greatest held by either party since the liberal majority of 300 in 1832. Of the 670 places to be filled. 432 are apportioned to England; 103 to Ireland; 72 to Scotland and 30 to Wales. Today's balloting brought to an end he hottest campaign that had ever been waged in England. In many re spects it was more like an American political fight -.than -'any of its prede- essors and every factor possible was employed, including moving pictures. The struggle between the liberal gov ernment, with its reform budget which was rejected by the house of lords and the conservatives, was fought princi pally on the right of the lords which have not been the subject of a general tight for three centuries.
