Freezing Temperature Predicted for Today, With About 38 Degrees at Noon. Just plain cold weather, with a freesIng temperature early this morning and about 38 degrees at noon is predicted for Atlanta today, after the wind, sleet, rain and snow storm which howled in a mile-a-minute gale over the city early yesterday, smashing plate glass windows, breaking down telephone poles and threatening the chimney tops.

To be more exact. in figures, the gale which swept Atlanta, and which was felt serlously along the Atlantio seaboard, drove through here at one time from the northwest at rate of 58 miles an and from midnight until nearly o'clock Friday afternoon averaged about 82 miles an hour. Only One Such Wind Before, Only once before in weather bureau history has the city felt such a wind storm, and never before has a northwind blown with such force. On March 24, 1909, the weather man's me struments recorded a 66-mile per hour gale, skyscrapers and then 'it rocked seemed with that the even force the of el the wind which swirled and twisted in the streets between the structures and nearly blew pedestrians off their feet. From along the Atlantic coast line reports came in during the day of a gale that hurled water onto the streets of Newport News, and for a time cut Norfolk, off from the rest of the world.

Wireless messages flashed up and down the coast, and anxiety was felt Hampton for the Roads. Atlantic fleet gathering off By the dawn of today the storm had passed safely into the Atlantic ocean, there to dissipate itself in fruitless tossing of ocean waves, and all the coast townsmen breathed a sigh of rellef. Two Distinet Snowstorms. During the gale two distinct snow. storms were reported In Atlanta; one fell for a few minutes about 2 o'clock Friday morning and the other came down five hours later.

Sleet and rain Intermingled followed in the early part of the morning, but the thermometer was not low enough for a coating of ice to form on the pavements. The weather felt really much colder on account of the wind than it really was, and many people were surprised to note that during an the time the mercury had never dropped lower than to 30 degrees. One effect of the wind was to show Atlanta without a smoke pall hanging buildings and hiding the horizon on all sides. The gusty winds were too much for the pillars of unconsumed carbon issuing form chimney stacks, and old Boreas proved himself superior as a smoke eradicator to all the smoke boards and smoke Inspectors the city has ever provided. THEATERS "Everywoman." (At the Atlanta,) This afternoon at the Atlanta "Ev.

erywoman" will be given as a special matinee attraction. This dramatic spectacle has a wonderful hold upon women and should draw a packed house. The play 1s presented by a better company than seen last season. and is being praised enthusiastically by all critics. The engagement at the Atlanta will end tonight, and those who have missed it are urged not to let the most interesting play of recent years pass by them, Adelaide Thurston.

(At the Atlanta.) Seats are now selling at the Atlanta theater for the engagement of the elfish little star, Adelaide Thurston, who is considered the legitimate successor to Maude Adams. Miss Thurston is coming Monday night with new play. "The Love Affair." She is surrounded by a fully capable com pany, and has been pleasing large audiences everywhere she has appeared. The engagement at the Atlanta is for three nights, with a Wednesday matinee. "In Old Kentucky." (At the Lyric.) Few plays have stood the test of time like that stirring and vigorous American drama of the blue grass county, "In Old which will be presented here next week at the Lyric theater.

Nothing better in a dramatic way, nothing more wholesome and more tertaining can be desired than "In Old Kentucky," It is a strongly dramatic and an unusually thrilling story of real people, elaborately presented and splendidly played. PRETTIEST BLONDE IS PLAYING "EVERYWOMAN" Atlantans are being treated to the sight of the most beautiful blond woman on the American stage todayand that means the most beautiful blond in the world. She is Miss Adele Blood, who is playing the title role in "Every Woman" at the Atlanta theater this afternoon and tonight, for whom distinction is claimed. Miss Blood created an absolute sensation by her appearance Thursday night, and set all the beauty experts raving about her. She is not only beautiful and stauesque, but she is talented and an actress of rare ability.

When she lg dressed in the magnificent gown she wears in the banquet scene of the famous play, she presents the most striking appearance of any woman ever seen In Atlanta. Miss Blood is a California actress, who was discovered by Mr. Savage. She played the title role in the eastern company of "Every Woman" last son. HONEYMOON ENDS IN ARREST FOR FORGERY Carl Needham, charged with forgery in Knoxville, was arrested last night and lodged in police station.

He. was married last Sunday- in Knoxville and: 18 said to have come to Atlanta on his honeymoon. He is a man of 31 years and claims to have worked in the Tennessee city as a cabinet- for R. Anderson. He says he was arrested at the instance of a man in Knoxville named Skane.

Further than that he refuses to discuss his case. His wife is in Atlanta now. DESTRUCTION LEFT IN WAKE OF STORM Shipping and Other Property Damaged by Gale That Swept Along Atlantic Coast. Washington, January southwest gale which swept the Atlantic coast states with great fury today, had by tonight spent most of its force In that section of the country. In its path, however, the storm had left much damage to shipping and propertyand crippled wire commuuication.

Up to a late hour tonight no loss of life had been reported. The storm, which struck Virginia with especial fury, later passed up the Atlantic coast and was tonight central over the lower St. Lawrence valley. Storm warnings were ordered displayed on the Atlantic coast from Eastport, Maine, to Wilmington, N. C.

The storm is remarkable, according to weather bureau officials, for both the rapidity of its development and for its abnormally low barometer reading. It had moved slowly across the country in the form of narrow north and south trough, with only moderate intensity today, when it developed into terrific gale central over Virginia. Late advices indicate that Newport News, Norfolk and Richmond suffered the heaviest damage from the storm. At Newport News shipping was considerably damaged, roofs of dwellings were lifted and the city cut off from communication with the outside world part of the day. Several small oyster schooners are unaccounted for tonight, and it is feared that they and their crews have gone down.

Norfolk suffered some property damage' and demoralization of wires, and much damage was done to property in Richmond. Some anxiety had been felt during the day by naVy department officials concerning the safety of the battleship fleet, but up to a late hour tonight no advices had been received indicating that they had suffered any damage. Storm In North New York, January most destructive storm of the season swept along the Atlantic coast today, causIng great property loss. Simutaneously came reports of storms of equal violence in portions of the south and middle west and along a part of the Pacific coast. Wire communication In all sections of the country was crippled.

At times during the day as few 88 Ave wires were working between this city and Chicago, and all wires south of Atlanta, were prostrated. Damage caused on sea, on lake and harbor cannot be estimated tonight. While the storm was heavy and general, only one death had been reported here up to a late hour, that of a Brooklyn man blown from a scaffold.
