New York Recovering.
....New York, Feb. 6. The gale and
unusually high tides which have lash
ed the north Atlantic coast for the last
two days accompanied by a blizzard
which blanketed most of the territory
with snow and ice, were gradually sub
siding early today, leaving a trail of de-
strleution and suffering in their wake.
Estimates of the property damage
run well beyond the two million dollar
mark. A number of vessels were re
ported in distress and . several Long
Island sound steamers were prisoners
in ice jams. The wireless station at
New York police headquarters early
today had received messages from 39
ships at sea asking for the location.
Points along the New Jersey coast,
especially Atlantic City and Seabrlght
were hardest hit. Houses were wash
ed Into the sea and towns partially In
undated. Reports along the Long Is
land shore near New York also were
heavily damaged.
Snow Piled High.
Railroad traffic improved during the
morning although trains were still be
hind time.
New York was slow to recover from
the blow dealt by ' the storm king.
Traffic conditions were still chaotic
early today and the streets piled high
with drifts of snow.
The shortage of coal caused appre
hension. Traction companies said they
had only a few days supply on hand
and that they would be forced to sus
pend operations unless their bunkers
were speedily replenished. Barges
laden with coal are tied up at Jersey
points by Ice floes.
City Island in Long Island sound,
which is part of New York City, was
marooned. Deep drifts compelled most
of the 2000 residents to stay at home.
Soldier Injured
Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Davi
son, stationed at Governors Island,
was dangerously injured when he was
struck by a falling glass awning in
front of the playhouse in West 4Sth
street.. Both his legs were brdlien and
it is feared that his skull was fractur
ed. Many persons have been Injured

Chicago, Feb. 6. Total output of the
meat packing Industry in the United
States for 1919 was estimated at more
than 5, 000, 000,000 In a statement giv
en out by the Institute of American
Meat Packers. The estimate was based
on annual reports or more man ou

Washington, Feb. 6. Reorganiza
tion of the railroad administration for
its work as a government liquidating
agent in preparation for a return of
the roads to their owners on March 1,
was begun today by Director General
Hines.
The first steps were creation of a
division of liquidation claims, and the
abolition of the division of capital ex
penditures, effective February 15.
Max'Thelan, director of the public
service division and formerly chair
man of the California state utilities
commssion, was placed in charge of
the liquidation division.
The reorganization program tenta
tively decided upon will leave Intact
the present divisions of law, finance
and accounting" In addition to the new
ly created division of liquidation of
claims. While the actual purchasing
will cease with the termination of fed
eral control, settlement of claims still
wll require the attention of many of
the purchasing units.
Mr. Thelan will have charge of cap
ital expenditures which must be made
between February 15 and March 1. His
big task, however, will begin Imme
diately after private operation Is re
sumed when filing of completed claims
will begin.

OF RADICAL MENACE
Washington, Feb. 6. Conflicting
views as to the danger to the United
States from radicals now in this coun
try were presented today to the house
Judiciary committee considering anti
sedition legislation.
Francis H. F. Kane, former federal
district attorney at Philadelphia, who
resigned recently because he was not
in sympathy with Attorney General
Palmer's campaign against the 'reds'
told the committee that much of the
agitation about bolshevism In Ameri
ca was "mere talk."
Attorney General Charles D. New
ton of New York disagreed with this
view, declaring that thousands of rad
ical press, were dally advocating the
revolutionary overthrow of the govern
ment and the establishment of a dic
tatorship. Cnnirress and the people of the
United States should awaken to the
danger of the doctrines of these rad
icals and take necessary steps to curb
their propaganda, Mr. Newton said.
Annroxlmately 500,000 radicals in
New York city alone are organized to
overthrow all capitalistic govern
ments, Mr. Newton said. The better
element of organized labor and the
Catholic church, he declared, have
been the two leading factors in sup
pressing these revolutionary ' activi
ties. "The laws for punishing these rad
icals must not be very effective," Bald
Representative Igoe, democrat, Mis
souri. "There is need for additional leg
islation to reach those against whom
there is no existing statute," Newton
replied. .

TRIAL THROUGH NEUTRAL
TRIBUNAL IS BELIEVED
SATISFACTORY TO HUNS
Berlin, Feb. 6.The German government Drobablv
will be walling to surrender its nationals charged with
war enmes to De tried by a neutral tribunal if the entente
will agree, says the national Zeitung. The Swiss govern
ment, the newspaper says, has declared its readiness to
arrange such a tribunal.
Premier Bauer's conference with
.party leaders tomorrow will probably
determina whethert the national as
sembly will be called to consider the
extradition situation.
Crisis Ig Denied.
Persons well Informed deny the ex-
Ta'gblett. as he only once visited the
front. '
Berlin. Feb. 6. Field Marshal Von
Feulow told the Lokal Anzeiger today
that Germans whose names are on the
Mat of those who extradition is de
manded by the allies "only did their
istence of a government crises, and the duty to the fatherland" and that extra-
I
Prussian cabinet has unanimously In
dcrsed the national cabinet's attitude,
which Is unaltered. This may be re
garded as a symptom of the spirit in
which the entente demands are being
met, all prominent politicians con
demning the allied edict.
A member of the government Is
quoted by a member of the press as
saying:
.v,The government Is still endeavor
ing to find a way out by further nego
tiations."
May Seek Modification.
It is believed that the government
will attempt to obtain a modification
of the peace treaty respecting extra
dition. If it is unsuccessful, It will.
o to speak, fold Its arms and let
events take their own course, accord
ing to prevailing opinion,
A scrutiny of the extradition list
shows that Belgium and France have
demanded the surrender of all the Ger
man generals who commanded on the
vest front In 1914 except General Von
Herringen. Why the grand duke of
Hesse Is listed Is a mystery, says the
dition was ignominy to which "no Ger
man would voluntarily submit."
The field marshal declared he would
never place himself at the disposal of
the entente nations and expressed the
belief that most of the commanders
named in the allied list would take the
same view.
It is understood that meetings of
army and navy commanders were held
on January 7 and It was unanimously
concluded that evasion of the extradi
tion clause of the Versailles treaty was
entirely compatible with German hon
or and that no one must voluntarily
surrender. Legal objections should be
lodged against orders for the arrest of
the commanders, It was decided at
these meetings.
The covering note and the official
list has not been received here and the
unofficial list does not afford a basis
for even superficial consideration of
the offenses charged against the list
ed men. It is not improbable the gov
ernment will promptly get into .touch
with the national assembly, which is
expected to reconvene next week al
though It adjourned until 'the end of
the month. .
