Snow and Rains Continue In West CHICAGO, April 1. lP) This section of the country bade farewell today to one of the severest March storms In recent weather history, saw it enter Canada and continue its devastating way eastward, snd en prepared to face a new disturbance brewing in the Rocky Mountains. Put while the first storm had passed, its effects were still visible In unprecedented drifts of snow that blocked roads, halted rail and motor traffic anJ made the larger cities veritable oceans of slush.

Tho storm" do described in weather bulletins, awept Jt ot the Rockies several daya ago, cut a elr-cular swath thru the southwest and middle west, with auxlltpr disturbances alonfr the Gulf ana Atlantic coasts, and then moved northeasterly Wednesday thru the lower Ml-hlgan peninsula into Canada. new disturbance in the far west was Increasing in energy in southeasterly movement, attended "oy general rains and mows in the plateau ani Roiky Mountain regions General precipitation was promised as the etorm moves Into the great plains etat tcday, while the valky states and the western lake regions will feel Its fury on Friday.

Central and eastern Canada tody are feeling the blast of the first storm wave.

Described as one of the se verest disturbances ever experienced. In Central Canada, the st swept ever the Toronto territory eastward with sno sleet and a 70 mile gale. All communication in the territory was demoraV Toronto being Isolated. Attempts last night to m-municate with that city by wireltss were unsuccessful. The monentsry respite betwejn storms gave the central west some opportunity to dig itself out of snowbound state.

The advent of colder weather however, offered a new problem In frozen snow and slush to further hamper transportation. Belo'v freezing temperatnres were general thruout the central states esrly today. All March records for snow fall were broke In Chicago which witnessed a steady downpour Tuesday.

RAIN WRECK 28 SAVED AI SEA BRITISH STORM RAGES FOR THEFTOF AUTO Held In $5,000 Bond Pending Action of N.

Y. Officials on Other Charges. DAYTON, Ohio, April 1. Three years after he absconded from Merrick, N. with $1,200 school funds and.

eloped with the 17-year-old daughter of the sweetheart of his youth, Wilbur H. Clark, 43, alias Fred L. Otten, finds himself charged with attempting to steal a dilapidated automobile. Clark was held today on a grand larceny charge In $5,000 bond pending action of New York officials, who informed Dayton police of Otten's suspected Identity and brought about his confession. He has been sought by New York police ever since he disappeared in 1923.

As the treasurer of the Merrick school board, he had been entrusted with as high as $145,000, Clark saieV and had been sufficiently respected to be chosen again and again to his post of public service. Last night he was In the county jail charged with theft of an automobile which he said was worth less than $50. "Funny how a man waits until he's 40 to make a fool of himself," he said. "I was never in trouble before. I'm sorry on account of the girl, but I'm glad she has been put in a good home." Clark has just been informed that the girl, Dollas Doxsee Ispel, unwed mother of their" 18 daughter, has been taken into the home of "a good Dayton family." PANIC IN SENATE (Continued from rage one) filed." Davis accepted he compromise suggestion and Senate Presi dent Larson announced the Case suggestion had been carried.

The filing of the resolution in the official minutes of the senate precluded further debate. Refers to Harrison Move "In my inaugural address to the legislature," said the executive message, "I recommended in a discussion of the subject of prohlbiton, that the legTsTatureTnembralize jcongress to modify the Volstead act. It mattered not to me whether sucl) action was taken by a Democrat or a Republican. On February 16, Senator Harrison of Essex, one of the majority members of the legislature, introduced a concurrent resolution In agreement with my suggestion and in accordance with the public demand. This resolution was referred to the committee on Judiciary and Is still there.

Other measures directed to relieving the rigors of the prohibi tion law have also been introduced, and these also have remained in the committees, to which they have been referred. "In view of the pending agitation on the subject of prohibition, thruout the country and In congress, I feel that the legislature would be responding to public sentiment, If It were to act favorably on these measures. Such action, I believe would meet with the approval of the people of the state, who, I am firmly convinced, favor a modificaton of the Volstead act, so as to permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers. New York To Act Proof of this changing public opinion is to be found In the fact that the legislature of New York, one of our sister states, controlled by the Republican party, is about to pass a resolution recommending the submission to the pepole of the country of a referendum, which today's press attributes to Elihu Root, one of the leading Republicans of the nation. The following is stated to be Root's conception of a proper referendum: "'Should the congress of the United States modify the federal act to en force the 18th amendment of the constitution of the United States so that same shall not prohibit the manufacture, sale, transportation, Importation or exportation of beverages which are not In fact Intoxicating as determined In accordance with the laws of the respective House Resolution "The house of assembly, overwhelmingly Republican, has already passed a resolution commending the two United States senators, for their courageous and able stand against prohlbiton and in favor of the modification of the Volstead act.

Should not the legislature as a whole, pass one or all of these measures Intro duced against prohibition? Failure of the legislature to take a decided stand on this important question, would, in my opinion, constitute a refusal to follow and accede to the steadily Increasing demand for a change. I had hoped until this hour of adjournment that some such action as I now recommend would be taken." ALBANY, April 1. W) A state re-ferendum on modification of prohlbl-tion is a step nearer realization today with a probable favorable vote In the senate not far distant. The Karle resolution, suggested by Elihu Root and designed to permit the state to pass upon the question of whether the Volstead act should be modified to permit states to deter mine for themselves what liquors are Intoxicating In fact and may be sold within their borders received a favorable vole In the senate Judiciary committee yesterday. This action is considered indicating the way the senate will vote.

Unfair to Present Generation. "I have heretofore pointed out that, this method of financing capital improvements is unfair to the present day and generation. The method of raising moneys by Imposing a fixed, arbitrary rate is unscientific and unsound. The people are not apprised of the amount of money which will be raised in that manner until the mischief is done; If, indeed, they ever know. "Experience has demonstrated that the assessable value of property In tills state is' constantly Increasing, and therefore the amount raised under such a plan likewise constantly and steadily increases.

"I do not believe this bill should become law in Its preset form. If the policy of paying i capital Improvements by annual la to be adhered to, then I think a definite sum of money to pay for certain definite, understood Improvements should be appropriated, so that all may know in advance how much Is to be raised in the "I recommend that the legislature secure from the responsible heads of the department of institutions and agencies a definite and certain as to when this method of levying taxes upon our people is to be discontinued."
