STORM KING RULES Middle West and Northwest in lirtp of Freezing Weather. BLESSES GRAvE'OFtDEAD. .1 WHEAT CROP MAY BE RUINED Lack of Snow to JVotoct Lato iPlant- ing Prove Costly Joor Arc Suffering. Chicago, Jan. 7. Catching tundreds of thousands of persons unprepared, the whole Northwest, Upper .Mississippi valley. Michigan, Indiana and 'Ohio are cxnerieneim? the severest winter weather in yeara. Reports from vari ous points west and northwest are .that suffering is acute, that exposed cattle and sheep are endangered, and that late sown wheat is likely to be math damaired. Accompaning the low temperature is a fierce northwest wind that cuts to the marrow. The cold wave Cell upon city and farm sayagely. Western gram fields are especially exposed to the rig' ors of the season, because there is lit tle snow to protect them. With nine degrees below iero this mornincr. Chicago endured the coldest dy since 1905. With the cold came manifold transportation troubles, chil ly cars, broken trolley wires, blockades and wrecks due to broken rails. With the cold also rose the mighty wail of the poor and destitute, who have man aged to exist during mild weather, but who are absolutely helpless now. Hundreds of homes are without food, fuel or clothine. Hundreds of home less wanderers, the flotsam and jetsam pf a great city, were driven to shelter, and the philanthropic societies were taxed to their utmost to afford re.ief. 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. TENSION SOMEWHAT RELAXED Foreign Governments Reluctant About Meddling With China's Afftirs. Washington, Jan. 7. Notwithstand ing the uneasiness that apparently ex i3ts in pekin, growing out of possibili ties in the changes in China s progres sive policy following the dismissal of Grand Counsellor Yuan Shi Kai, State department officials express the belief that the tension has been somewhat re laxed, noticeably since the appointment of Liang to be minister of foreign affairs. His appointment, the officials say, may be helpful in checking to a limited extent any action toward reac tionary steps. The question of making representa tions to a foreign government on mat ters of internal administration and pol icy, always a delicate one, is regarded as particularly so in this case. -CALIFORNIA FIGHTS JAPANESE Ex-Congressman Johnson Introduces Three Preventive Bills. Sacramento, Jan. 7. Three bills dealing with the Japanese question will be introduced in the California assembly. Ex-Congres3man G. L. Johnson has prepared all of these measures and as floor leader in the assembly, will, make a strong fight for their passage. The first prohibits aliens from becoming members of cor porations; the second inserts the word "Japanese" in the law regarding the segregation o. Oriental school child ren. The statute at present segregates Mongolians, tut as the Japanese claim they do not come under that classifica tion, the race will be specified. The third bill segregates "aliens whose presence may be inimical to the health and public morals" of a com munity, and while the Japarese are not mentioned specifically the measure is aimed at them. City Hall Being Razed. San Francisco, Jan. 7. A force of workmen today began to demoliFh the city hall dome, which was partially stripped to its Bteel frame by the earthquake of 190G, and which had since stood as a prominent landmark of the destruction wrought by the dis aster. The task has been undertaken by an Eastern contractor, after lengthy injunction proceedings in the Superior court. Four months will be devoted to razing tho tower. The wrecking of the city hall will be ac complished through two separate con tracts. Archbishop Buries Bodies In Vast Hota In Center of Messina, Messina. Jnn, 8.

The dead ware piled onc on top of the other, and :the bodies covered with quicklime. lEhe prolate was (followed tothe ceroettGry by ia largo gathering of survivors, whose lamentations min gled with the lLation w,rds of the ser vices. Subsequently the archbishop walked through the ruins and blessed tbo mil itary hospital, the military college, the barracks and tho archbishop's house, considering these swrecked edi fices as so many cemeteries. Und r them wero the -corpses of soldiers, atu derrta, policemen and monke. AH the valuables found among the ruins arc being taken on lboard tho steamer Duca di Genoa in the bay. Yest rdav currency to the amount of $3,600,0.00, including the contents of the safecf the Sicilian-American bank, was transferred to this vessel. A banker narmd Mnuromati, who was one of the richest residents, lost everything. Yesterday he wentio the authorities barefooted and half clathed and asked for a pair f shoes and an overcoat. With tho exception of Saint Andre AveJIane, all the churches in Messina have been destroyed. BUSINESS FOR THE ST, PAUL. Road Makes Traffic Agreement With Japanese Steamships. Chicago, Jan." 8. The official .an- nourcerr.ent was made today by the St. Paul road that upon completion of its Pacific Coast txtension the company will make a special effort to secure Oriental traffic. It is .said that a traffic alliance ha3 been made with the Osaka Shoshen Kaisha for semimonthly sailings from Seattle. This company is now constructing six modern, fast steamers for trade to the Orient and the St. Paul hopes to absorb the lion's share of this business now that all other American roads have gone out of it The St. Paul road will make a stren uous bid for traffic between the United States, Canada, Europe, China, Philip pines, Japan, Russia, Siberia, Austra lia, Formosa and Indian ocean ports. The steamship company with whreh the St. Paul has effected a traffic alliance has a fleet of 106 vessels, with a gToss tonnage of 110,000 tons, and it now maintains a regular service along the Japanese, Ch,o e, Siberian and Co rean coasts OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST NIGHT RIDERS GUILTY. Six Tennessee Murderers Must Hang for Crimes. ' Union City, Tenrt., Jan. 8. With a verdict of guilty, the jury in the Night Riders trial reported at 8:46 o clock last night. Garrett Johnson, Tid Bur ton, Bob Ransom, Fred Pinion, Arthur Cloar and Sam ArppJewbite were con victed of murder in the first degree with mitigating circumstances, and Bud" Morris ad "Bob" Huffman, the other defendants, were found guilty of murder in the second degree. Their punishment was fixed at 25 years in the penitentiary. The punishment for the first named six defendants was left to the court, and may be death or life imprison ment, and the cou t has indicated an Intention to pronounce the death pen alty. The defense made a motion for a new trial, which was set for hearing Saturday and which will be overruled. Sentences will then be imposed. The defendants received the verdict calmly. Attorney Pierce then turned to them when it was announced and said: REGENTS ASK MORE. Special Appropriate Needed for Ore gon Agricultural College. .Snlom-?OwIng t6 the .crowded condi ttion of tho Oregon Agricultural col .lege, tho attendance of .which has in- ciensed to ii .greater extent than tiittt of.nny other institution of tho kind in tho West during tho 'past three years, a special appropriation of the legislature for additional buildings 'will probably lio. asked forlby tho board of neironta.

At theierm ending Jnst June the books showed alio names .of 1.156 student, .a gain of ,323 over itho year previous.. By tho end of the present term it is expected ithat the tnumbcr vwill have reached nearly 1,300. The fact .that the -college h&a out frrown its present accommodations for handling such large numbers is jipra mount, and it is practically assured that the legislature will bo asked for a larger appropriation for maintenance than ever befoso. The amount, how ever, ,hns not been decided .upon. This appropriation to bo requested will be separate from that asking for money for additional buildings. The crain in attendanco during tho past three years at the Oregon Agri .cultural college is 38 per cent, making this institution far ahead of any others of its kind in the West. The nearest in the matter of gain is the Washing ton State college, which has a "percent age of 21.
