CHICAGO. Jan. . (Special.) Catch
ing hundreds of thousands of persons
unprepared, the whole Northwest, Up
per Mississippi Valley. Michigan. Indi
ana and Ohio are experiencing the se
verest Winter weatheV In years. Re
ports from various points west and
northwest are that suffering Is acute,
that exposed cattle and sheep are en
dangered, and that late-sown wheat is
ltke'y to be much damaged.
Accompanying the low temperature Is
u. fierce northwest wind that cuts to
the marrow. The cold wave fell upon
city and farm savagely. "estern grain
fields are especially exposed to the
rigors of the season, because there Is
little snow to protect them.
Cliicaso Xino Below.
With nine degrees below xero this
morning, Chicago endured the coldest
day since 1905. With the cold came
manifold transportation troubles, chilly
cars, broken trolley wires, blockades
and wrecks due to broken rails. With
the cold also rose the mighty wall of
the poor and destitute, who have man
aged to exist during mild weather, but
who are ahsolutely helpless now.
Hundreds of homes are without food,
fuel or clothing. Hundreds of home
less wanderers, the Jlot&am and Jetsam
of a great city, were driven to shelter,
and the philanthropic societies were
taxed to their utmost to afford relief.
Enormous demands upon the city and
all charitable organizations are expect
ed tomorrow, and plans are In the mak
ing tonight to meet them. Two deaths
and many accidents were reported due
to the cold.
Cold Will remain.
"Florida, Mississippi and other ex
treme Southern states will awake to
find themselves frostbitten tomorrow,"
said Forecaster Garrlott tonight. in
explaining the scope of the storm.
"Chicago may have a few days of com
paratively warmer weather, but the
present cold wave will linger in the
Northwest until the robins arrive
probably the latter end of March."
Telegraph wires were cripph-d In every
direction. A number of accidents due
to the cold were recorded. A South
Chicago electric car crashed into an
Illinois Central train, injuring a num
ber of streetcar passengers, two seri
ously. Twenty-five guests of the"
Humboldt Park Hotel suffered severely
when they were driven half clad Into
the street by a fire.

Heads and Bar Feet of Children
r laying in Open Stung by Fall
ing Heated Particles.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., Jan. . Small
particles of hot metal like lead falling
from the skies was the remarkable phe
nomenon reported by Mrs. W. H. Burns,
of 240 Riverside avenue, this city, this
morning and when Investigated the Inci
dent was fully corroborated by residents
of the neighborhood.
Mrs. Bums attention was engaged and
her curiosity aroused yesterday afternoon
by the peculiar antics of a number of
barefoot children who were playing In
front of her house. When she asked
them what was the matter they told her
the air was full of electricity and that
hot shot were falling from the clouds.
Mrs. Burns then noticed a clatter on the
housetop that sounded like hall and look
ing In the direction of the grandstand of
the Casino ballgrounds, she saw little
white threads of smoke rising from the
roof wherever these little redhot metal
globules struck the damp boards. Every
roof in the vicinity showed the same
peculiar condition.
This molten rain continued from about
2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon and
varied In Intensity. At times, however,
children who were bareheaded and un
shod were compelled to take to cover.
One boy carries a burn on his finger as
the result of being struck by one of these
hot pellets.
One theory to account for the pheno
menon Is that the molten rain was due
to a passing meteor that had become dis
integrated. Mrs. Burns has saved a few of the little
pellets. They are about the size of No.
8 shot, and resemble lead.
THUGS ARE FOUND GUILTY
Late Verdict in Circuit Court Con

Gur.derson. a laborer living at the
Brookyln Hotel.
The scene of the robbery was only a
short distance from the place where
they were captured. The policeman,
having been apprised by the victim of
the crime, saw the three men lounging
about on the corrfer, and, noting their
suspicious actions, drew his revolver
and effected their arrest. It then de
veloped that these men had held up
and robbed two other victims within
half an hour. They were tried for

No. 5, due In Portland at 9:30 tomor
row, went In. the ditch at Perry, three
miles west of here, at 10 o'clock to
night, but miraculously no one was
hurt.
The train was slowly climbing the
steep hill at Perry when a broken
truck suddenly derailed one of the
chair cars. Before the air was applied
and a full stop effected, the cars had
bumped along a considerable distance.
The occupants of the chair car were
badly shaken up and a small panic was
created In the Pullmans. The wreck
ing train was sent out from this city
and at 11 o'clock the car was again on
the track. But for the fact that the
speed was slow, a serious wreck would
have resulted.

Executive Action Not
Its Business.
BONAPARTE NOT TO ANSWER
No Cause for Proceeding
Against Steel Trust.
TAKES ALL RESPONSIBILITY
Gary and Frick A9ked Approval of
Tennessee Coal and Iron Deal,
Which Prevented Panic.
Ho Did Not Object.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. President
Roosevelt informed the Senate In plain
terms today that he had approved the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company by the United States Steel
Corporation and had instructed Attorney
General Bonaparte not to respond to the
Senate Inquiry as to the reason for hia
failure to prosecute the steel company.
The President declares that he do-:s not
conceive it "to be within the authority
of the Senate to give directions of this
character to the head of an executive
department."
The message is in response to a reso
lution introduced by Senator .Culberson,
calling on the Attorney-General to state
whether he had brought an action
against the steel company because of its
acquisition of the Tennesseeconcern.
While the resolution was not directed to
the President, his attention w.(; called
to it by the Attorney-General.
Commenting on the Attorney-General's
letter, the President says: .
'As to the transaction In question, I
was personally cognizant and responsible
for its every detail. For the information
of the Senate I transmit a copy of the
letter sent by me to the Attorney-General
November 4, 1907. as follows:
My Dear Attorney -General: Judge B. H.
Gary and Mr. H. C. Krlck. on behalf of the
E:eel Corporation, have Just called upon me.
They state that there is a certain business
Arm (the name of which I have not been
told, but which 1 of real lmpcrtance In
New York business circles), which will un
doubtedly fall this week U help is not
given. Among Its asset are a majority
of the securities of the Tennesse Coal Com
pany. Application has been urgently made
to the Steel Corporation to purchase this
stork as the only means of avoiding a
failure. Judge Gary and Mr. Frickr In
formed mo that a a mere business trans
action they did not care to purchase the
stock: that under ordinary circumstances
they would not consider purchasing the
stock, as but little benefit will come to
the Steel Corporation from the purchase;
that they are aware that the purchase
will be used as a handle for attack upon
them on the ground that they are striving
to secure a monopoly of the business and
pTevent competition not that this would
represent what could honestly be said, but
what might recklessly and untruthlully be
salrt.
They Informed me that as a matter of
fact the policy of the company has been
to decline to acquire more than 60 per

BELLINGHAM, Wash., Jan. 6. (Spe

in the captivating of John Quincy
Tawes, of Ferndale, two years ago, by

man, a Bellingham "hello girl." has
ended lu the elopement and marriage
of the couple. Word of their wedding
in Mount Vernon, Wash., was received

The headlong love affair was beset
with obstacles, and before it culminat
ed In marriage, had to overcome the
barriers of the man's previous mar
riage, the furious opposition of the
girl's parents and the great disparity
of their ages.
Tawes is a wealthy citizen of Fern
dale and he was first made aware of
Miss Kaufman's existence when an un
usually sweet voice answered a Bel
lingham call. He succeeded in making
the telephone girl's acquaintance, and
their friendship ripened Into love In
short order. Tawes was married at
this time, but after a divorce had been
secured all other obstacles were
brushed ruthlessly aside.. Tawes is 40
years old and his bride 19.

Hamon Cheats Woman
Out of $500,000.
CUT DASHING FIGURE IN PARIS
Transformed Palmist Fugitive
From Justice.
CREDITORS POUNCE ON HIM
Meteoric Career of Young Man Who
an Newspaper and Bank orl Bor
rowed Capital and Swindled
an American Woman.
PARIS, Jan. 6. "Count" Louis Hamon,
formerly known In America and Europe
as Cheiro, the palmist, and before that
as plain John Warner, Is a fugitive from
France tonight,, charged with embezzle
ment, and his sumptuous offices, where he
edited a newspaper called the American
Register, and conducted a bank and other
enterprises, to which Americans lent cap
ital, are empty, creditors having de
scended and seized everything.
The complainants against Hamon are
Mrs. Julia P. Newall and Miss Josephine
Pomeroy, formerly of New York, who de
clare Jthat they turned over to Hamon
stocks to the amount of $500,000 on which
Hamon agreed to raise a loan through
London banks of $150,000. They allege,
however, that Hamon neither negotiated
the loan nor returned the stocks.
Hamon has been a dashing figure in
Paris since his arrival here six years ago.
He lived in costly apartments In the
Rue du Bois de Bologne. It is reported
that mystery attaches to his title. He
claims to have Inherited it from his
father, who received it from the Pope.
His real name is said to be I E. War
ner. Since arriving in Paris in 1902, "when
he transformed himself from Cheiro, the
palmist, to "Count Hamon," he haa
had easy access to society. One of his
special friends was a man known as
"Abbe de la Fresnay," whose scholarly
and agreeable manner secured for him
entry into the most exclusive circles.
There are reports that Hamon and
friends, as the result of their high
connection, were able to arrange many
marriages among people standing high
in the Anglo-American colony.
Hamon is penniless, according to his
secretary, who further stated that he
had lost $60,000 in recent operations
and that he had been trying to pay all
his creditors, including Mrs. Newell.
The case, however. It is said, does not
come under the jurisdiction of the
French laws, as the investment has
been entirely placed in England.
A statement issued at the bank says
that as a result of the proceedings the
credit of the institution has been ad
versely affected and the local branch
will close temporarily. Other branches
are located in New Tork and London.
