In a few minutes the shrieking sound of the Broadway Limited, west bound, was heard in the distance'. Frank Vrakos, watchman at the crossing, did not see the limited speeding toward the stalled truck, but heard its whistle. He shouted to Rusnack to get out of the danger path. The driver finally abandoned hlaefforts to move the truck.

Lewis stopped the automobile in which fhe and her husband were traveling. A search of the car revealed no liquor, but Mrs. Courey's costume was interesting. Curiosity overcame the inspector's natural gallantry and beneath the woman's ankle length dress he found a five-gallon jug of whisky. She was fined $400 and her mate $600.

The Indiana Harbor steel mills suffered a setback due not only to the shortage of men, but also to the tie-up in railroads which caused a coal shortage.

Denver reported snow, in Wyoming, Colorado and northern New Mexico, bringing the total falf in the first five days of spring to twice that of the entire month of February. While the mountain states and the lake regions dug out, St. Paul, usually a.

snow center, enjoyed spring weather. The enjoyment promised to be shortlived, however, as the weather man said temperatures would go lower tonight. The eastern seaaoard has escaped the worst of the blizzard, the forecaster 'here said, because the storm turned back.

S. Will Not, Under Any Cir cumstance, Render Armed Assistance By GEORGE It. HOtMKS STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICEJ WASHINGTON, March 26.

If the London naval con ference is to be saved from the rocks toward which it has been steadily drifting for weeks Great. Britain will have to do the rescue act by extending to France the security pledge she demands as a price for scaling down her naval demands. The United States will enter into no political pact, security, consultative or otherwise, which by the widest stretch of imagination or interpretation could be construed as committing this country to render armed assistance to any other power. GIST OF V. S.

POSITION This is the gist of the American position, the re-statement of which in London yesterday fanned into a flicker the seemingly moriouna hope that it may yet be found pos sible to frame a five-power treaty. If some other' power, meaning Great Britain, wants to give France the security she demands, and France thereby scales down her tonnage figures, then the United States might possibly have no ob jection to entering into an Atlantic pact similar to the Pacific pact which grew out of the Washington conference. At least, the American delegates would consider it.

SOMEWHAT The industrial Calumet district to day was attempting to recov.r from the -nartial naralysis caused by the shortage of workmen who were unable to get to the plants because of traftio conditions. The Standard Oil company refinery at Whiting was probably in the best shape owing to the fact that most or its employees live within walking dis tance of the plant.

Troops finally had to be summoned to quell the violence and sabotage, which Judge Fried rich and a small group of deputies had been striving valiantly to con trol. with this annoyance was the problem of the Robey race track and the illegitimate interests from Chicago, which Judge Fried ttich fought with all his forces.

MOVEIJ TO HAMMOND 1 In 1896 Judge Friedrich moved to Hammond, entered the real estate land insuiance business, and has been one of the outstanding char-' as-tern In the county ever since. Throughout his life he has possessed extensive real estate holdings, which ho gradually developed as industrial and residential property, contribut-lnc in a large measure to the growth and. development of Hammond, as well as to the rest of the district. He always retained his interest in politics, and was always one of the leading factors in shaping public opinion on questions of the day. His innumerable friends respected his estimate's of any situation', and were MTitxravoflnglv convinced of the soundness of his judgments and the honesty which prompted them.

His interest in civic affairs of the oitv and county was constant, and at the request of his friends he ran for mavor in 1921. Although defeated he polled a substantial vote.

Frenzied residents, who watched the pair drive around the block in an automobile from which they fired s6me thirty shots in th air, called police. As the squad car approached, the men increased their speed.

They were halted only after their automobile had been driven over a curb into a front yard. Neulist was apprehended immediately, but Warner managed to escape and was captured after returning to his home in Gary. WARNINGS OF STORM WASHINGTON, March 26 (I.N.S.) The U. S. weather bureau issued the following storm warning today: Southwest storm warnings ordered 9 a.

Storm of marked intensity over the lake region will be attended by strong southwest or west winds probably of gale force at times during next 24 hours at least.

A freakish blizzard, which seems to have a dislike for Chicago and sur rounding territory, came back today and laid a record snow fall for all time on the metropolitan area.

More than 16 inches of snow para lyzed the nation's second city and cut inroads into the regular daytime population of the loop. The 16 inches of snow, whipped by strong. wind, was rapidly being added to and promised to continue for the rest of the day. The weatner ureau went on record officially as saying "the storm might ease up before night," but was far from be ing definite in its predictions. The weather forecasters thought the blizzard had departed eastward last night as orthodox storms ao dux when it arrived at Lake Ontario with its cargo of snow and wind, it hirled back and centered today over Georgian Bay, with the fringes showering Chicago again.

Just about the time Chicago traction officials announced that trains would run as usual today, they were forced to send additional thousands of Khovelers into the streets be cause of the new snowiaii. as a result workers who were late yesterday, when the storm was just getting underway, were later today. Few street cars were running, most suburban trains were stalled or hours late and what few taxicabs could run were loaded to the running boards. Never before in the history of the weather bureau has so much snow fallen in one. storm.

Once before in the memorable January 1918 there were 24 inches of snow on the ground but it required two blizzards to put it there. With the return of the storm came more suffering in the slums and the shanties of the hoboes. PoMce sta-i tions and institutions for the home I the respect for his frankness and honesty of even those who opposed him. Hi cheerful disposition, resounding voice, general good humor and Jesting ways, coupled with an inexhaustible store of amusing and historic recollections won for him the hearts of his associates. A year ago ho was greeted on his 68th birthday by the writer, who inquired concerning how he felt.

"Not a day Older than 68," boomed, the judge with the smile which 'gave moie than truth to the assertion. In all affairs he was a liberal, and almost an individualist. He resented encroachments upon the rights and welfare of the citizen and shaped his ideas toward that end. Upright, Straightforward, a true friend, respectable and estimable are true traits of Judge Friedrich- which Will linger in the minds of the host fit his intimates. Judge Friedrich was a charter Inember of the Elks lodge at Ham mond, was a member of the Mystic Shrine, a.

member of the Knights'of Pythias, the Independent Order Foresters, and the Knights of the Maccabees. Ha was a member of the 'Presbyterian church, whose funeral C-rders probably will he accorded him..
