BIGGEST IN YEARS Public Services Curtailed by Quebec, Jan, 27.--Twenty three in- ches of snow, whipped along by a wind averaging 50 miles an hour, but at times reaching 60 and 65 miles, descended upon Quebec during the night covering everything' with a white mantle, and curtailing the pub- fi | lic_services, The snow fall is a record for the season, and for that matter for a good many years. Sixteen inches fell between 8 o'clock last night and 8 § this morning, but between the latter hour and 11 o'clock seven inches more had fallen, : Pushed along by the strong north- west wind, snow drifted all over, and banks from four to seven feet high were a common occurrence in differ ent sections of the city, 'The weather was not cold, but with the wind veering to the west, a change in temperature is looked for after the blizzard has spent its fury. the evidence inst the fascinating of 4 Practice for the playois than defendant, A hearer of "love an Sxbinition and was Tartilly 'em and leave 'em broke" are said to the crowd foun dit a sufciently in- [ have been practised upon 50 women. teresting exhibition to hold their | Whitman, wha also has used "Bar- on Beaverbrook," "Carl Renee," "Carl {nserest during the fen minute Te6t {von Edwards," "Wallace Siegfried," a» Ce a and other . names that sound as : tho ey belo 0 i Tals week saw one of the most| .

The tanks were ignited this af- ternoon by explosion. Out of a hundred men working on the pro- «| perty, only one, Fred Hendricks, chemist, was known to have been killed, although property damage may reach half a million dollars, Far-Felt Blast The blast, which started In Tank No. 15, under process of being steam-cleaned, rocked buildings half a mile away, and spread suec- cessively to eleven ther tanks, ranging in capacity from 500 to 3,000 barrels, most 'of 'which were burning long after dark, Several workers were reported injured when thrown to the ground by the force of the explosion, but in most cases the injuries were of a minor nature. Hendricks, the man known to have heen killed, was on top of tank No. 15 when it exploded, hav- ing just lifted a hatch to make a test. His body was hurled some thirty feet -into the air and fell back into the flames. It had not been recovered tonight. Firemen Praised, The McCamey Volunteer Fire Department received the praise of the townspeople for preventing the flames from spreading and causing heavy damage to the town, The only theory advanced to ac- count for the explosion was that a spark had been struck in the opening or clogint of the test-hole by Hendricks, igniting the gas in the tank, at a Washington hotel, Unger said, and helped gain her confidence by bowing to Secretary of States Hughes when that official passed him in a corridor, giving the impression that he had influential friends and was well known, SMOKING INCREASED INU.

The: entire equipments of the city and the Ottawa Electric Railway for handling snow worked throughout the night and barely managed to keep the streets open, The street car service was somewhat irregular in the early morning but recovered as the day wore on, The railway companies re- port that the trains in this division are fairly well on time. This is the heaviest snowfall of the season, last week's fall of about six inches being the largest previously.
