Heavy Snow Storm Blocks County, Town State Highways Are Kept Open; Busses Delayed Drifting Continues; More Snow Is Forecast County and town roads in Eau Claire county were pretty well clogged up by snowdrifts Tuesday afternoon and state highways were being kept open by operation of the county plows following a snowfall which by noon had piled an additional inches of snow on the ground and which was whipped around in a lively fashion by a rather forceful northwest wind, which was slowly dropping the temperature. As the wind was still going strong in the afternoon the county highway department was making no effort to county and town roads.

as the snow was blowing back in again, but was than plows to keep the state trunks through the county cleared of snow. According to reports from over Eau Claire division received by the division engineer's office here of the Wisconsin highway commission, all state highways were being kept open by the constant operation of plows but that they were drifting in again almost as fast as the plows cleared them out. However, up to early afternoon no reports had been recelved, indicating that any of the trunks had been closed to traffic, although the snowfall to the east, in Clark and Taylor counties, was reported to be in excess of 12 inches and still coming down, and drifting.

Passenger train schedules were being maintained without any trouble but poor visibility in the yards was slowing up the making up of freight trains. Cage Tourney, Postponed WHITEHALL, (A.P) 20-inch snowfall 'here today forced postponement until tomorrow night of the class district high school basketball tournament scheduled for tonight. Several schools in Trempealeau county closed because of the storm, while nine snowplows battled drifts.

Measles at Mindoro high school resulted in withdrawal of the Mindoro team from the basketball tourney. Arkansas high entered as 8 replacement. The district tournament at Loyal also was postponed until tomorrow night because of the storm, Silver Purchases Upheld in House (Continued from page 1.) assured that mine owners and miners in their districts would not be affected by the measure, viewed it as the first move toward complete repeal of the silver act and fought it vigorously. They did so without the backing of Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, who only an hour before had sidestepped the silver controversy when he appeared before the house committee on weights and coinage. Taber's amendment shifted the silver dispute to the house floor and during the ensuing debate the New Deal of purchasing extensive quantities of gold abroad and then burying it in Kentucky, also was assailed.

For the most part, however, Republicans centered their fire on the cost of the silver purchases in relation to the present need for governmental economies. Taber and other Republicans insisted that the silver purchases constitute an economic waste, and said that the treasury would lose more than $1,000,000,000 if it were forced to liquidate its purchases today. Defending the policy were Reps. John R. Murdock, John 'A Martin, James G.

Scrugham, all of whom argued that the government was making a profit from its silver purchases. They denied Republican insinuations that these purchases had driven China off the silver standard; had hampered Mexico's fiscal policies and aided in carrying on the Sino-Japanese war and the Spanish revolution. While the vote today was a setback in the Republican drive to repeal emergency legislation, the test was inconclusive. Some Democrats, known to be opposed to the silver policy, did not join with Republicans because they felt that the subject had not had proper committee consideration. This was the point made by Rep.

Louis Ludlow, in charge of the bill. A clearer test may come on a petition being circulated by Rep. Ev- Col. Marshall Cousins Dies at Madison Hospital from Injuries Inflicted by Car COLONEL MARSHALL Col. Marshall Cousins, 70, of Madison and Eau Claire, president of the Wisconsin State Historical society, died about 5 p.

m. Tuesday at the Madison General hospital of injuries incurred when struck an automobile Friday evening on the capitol square at Madison. The remains will be brought to Eau Claire this evening. Funeral arrangements have not been completed but it is probable that services will be held Thursday afternoon. 'Father Was Lawyer He was the son of the late Henry and Louisa P.

Cousins who came to Fau Claire in 1866. The father, distinguished as a lawyer, was born in Mayville, Chautauqua county, N. on Feb. 7, 1826. He moved, with his parents in 1848 to Ohio, and in 1850 came to Wisconsin, to practice law at East Troy, Walworth County.

For six years Henry Cousins was clerk of the court and at the time Civil War he received a lieutenant's commission, recruited but was not physically able to go to the front. Mrs. Cousins, was Louise, daughter of Otis and Julia (Corbin) Preston, born Oct. 26, 1840, at White Pigeon, Mich. In Wisconsin she lived Elkhorn in Walworth county.

In 1867 in Eau Claire, Henry Cousins was district attorney, and in 1871 was an assemblyman from here. For two years he WAS an alderman representing the Third ward. In 1881 he was apointed registrar of the U.S. Land Office in Arizona, a position taken on account of his health. He returned to Eau Claire in 1883 and in 1885 was again district attorney.

On Oct. 25, 1888, he died in his 66th year. To this pioneer couple two children were born, Marshall, Sept. 4, 1869, and Mary, 1872. The latter was the wife of James T.

Joyce, now of San Antonio. Mrs. Joyce died Jan. 15 1936. Interested in State History Colonel Cousins who has resided at the Loraine hotel in Madison, for several years, had for his first interest the State Historical Soclety, as before that he was interested in the military service of state and nation.

He first donned a uniform in 1888, to become a member of the Griffin Rifles, named after the late Michael Griffin of this city, congressman and adjutant general of the state under Governor Hoard. Through the various grades he passed, eventually to become Colonel Cousins of the Sixth Wisconsin Infantry, an organization he had helped to build up in 1916 and which was broken up at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas, in 1917, its parts being absorbed by other units of the 32nd Division. To his lifelong regret Colonel Cousins did not go over seas. He was in the class of National Guard colonels for whom at the time there was no room. In January, 1895, as a member of the state legislature he was chairman of the committee on military affairs.

In the Spanish American War he participated in the Porto Rican expedition under Gen eral Miles, and was wounded at the battle of Coamo. He was then a first lieutenant and adjutant of the First Battalion, Third Infantry, W. N. G. 1899, he was captain and adjutant, and in 1913 was commissioned major.

For fourteen years he had been regimental adjutant. By this time he numbered as among his closest friends many officers of the regular army and he was very close to the late General Charles King. Colonel Cousins surely did his share to make the Wisconsin National Guard notable among the states. Records at Madison The records in the adjutant general's office at Madison show that Marshall Cousins, enlisted in Co. April 20, 1888; WAS corporal and sergeant and in 1893 on non-commissioned staff, 3rd in 1898 first lieutenant and battalion ad-' jutant (Spanish -American war) captain and regimental adjutant June 17, 1899.

Every person on the WPA rolls here has been presented with a blank to fill out and turn in, indicating whether or not he, or she, has taken out his full citizenship papers, which is now a requirement to get on, or remain on, the WPA.

All those on the present WPA rolls who have not out full citizenship will be taken off. It is said that they even cannot be hired to work on PWA projects. A number have already been taken off the list here. One, a very efficient foreman on a city job, taken off by the WPA when it was disclosed that he had only taken out his first papers. Born and raised in Eau Claire, once a full-fledged citizen of this republic, he had become a citizen of Canada many years ago in order to take up a homestead in the dominion at that time.

Years later he disposed of his homestead and returned to the states, settling on a farm in northern Minnesota. He took out his first papers as the first to resuming his full American citizenship, but for years lived in an inaccessible part of Minnesota, with the result that he had not gotten around to take out his final In filling out his blank he set out the situation as it was and the fact that he was not an American citizen at present, although born and raised here, with the result that he was forced to turn in his registration card and get off the WPA job on which he was engaged. Just how much this order of the WPA will affect the local WPA rolls is not known, but it is believed that I Barron Farm Foreclosures Not Excessive, Board Says RICE LAKE, Feb. 28.

Readers of this paper, as well as the staff, will particularly regret the passing of this good soldier and citizen. He would have made as good an editor as he was an historian.

This work he did for other communities as well as for his own, He brought rare gifts indeed to the State Historical society, as its president. For this paper he seemd to have the kindest consideration.

Many Eau Claire man and woman has been urged to send him matters relating to the past, and he had a constant desire for old pictures. It was said that one time he contemplated writing book on Wisconsin banking.
