In the words of the old-time so

by all and as police took a look
around today they reported that
everything considered there were
very few unpleasant incidents.
A few holdup men took advant

visibility due to confetti to take a
few dollars and ecltemont reached
such a pitch at n couple of private
parties that gentlemen present
settled their.differcnccs with dirks.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1 (AP) Tho
iew year, slapping' celebrants with
a vicious snow fall, got itself
tangled up shortly after midnight
in ono of the worst winter traffic'
jams the city over has seen,
Automobilo horns that first wcro
Hounded only to add to the general
bedlam of other nolsemakers, took
on u petulant, business totie as
motorists, bound to or from bright
spots In the storm, found them
selves stalled In a mad maze of
machines.
Streets were soaked with n half
frozen sleet.'. An unusually largo .
number of motor vehicles were
caught In the storm, having been
reguiled from garages by tho Lore
lei promise of early evening mild
ness. The snow plastered Itself
upon windshields, hindering visi
bility, nnd lay a thin white cover
let quickly upon tho city.
The predicted frigidity did not
make ItHelf felt until most of tho
revellers had gone home.
Considering tho weather condi
tions, tho di'Hths'und accidents In
cident to loss's wako and ll29's
christening were not as numerous
us pollen had feared. Two w,omen
were- killed when struck down by
an automobile, and a hit-nnd-run
motorist lulally injured a patrol
man. Stray bulb Is . from ..celebrants
who preferred guns for 'noisemak
Ing resulted In several persons be
ing wounded. A woman, slnnding
looking from a third story window,
was struck by a bullet fired in the
street, and wns wounded possibily
fatally. A street car conductor wus
shot In tho left eye as ho stepped
from the platform of his cnr.
From the standpoint of liquor
low violation. George If. Hurlburt,
first assistant tn the prohibition ad
ministrator, called it "tho quietest
New Year's eve I ever have wit
nessed." Hour after hour prohi
bition agents telephoned that there
was "notlting doing."
