Registered as Far Down as 6 and 8 This is the anniversary of the cold est day in the history of the city's weather bureau. Two years ago to day, the official weather report says, It was J 4 degrees below zero. To-day at 6 ». m. the temperature was 1 de btee below zero, the lowest weather in two years. That Is the official figure, but many ordinary thermometers that did faith ful duty in outlying sections of the city went way down in their hearts this morning. At Rutherford Heights, for "nstance, the mercury showed 4 de grees below zero. Across river reports ot from R to S degrees below were heard. So cold was it that even the con sumptive children who arc being cared tor in, tho city's open-air schools < on I tin t stand it and the schools were dismissed about 10 o'clock. They will ?'.?*, be reopened until Mondav.' The 1 ttle boys and girls who have spent the winter days in the open wrapped in their bank"ts have been able to stand every other kind of weather, but the zero and below kind made them shiver too much. The Penn school building is closed 10-day because the heating apparatus can not be made to work. Only four of the rooms are open. lee areas in the river are growing quite rapidly and it is believed the entire Susquehanna will be frozen over at Harrisburg within the next twentv four hours. Relief From Intense Cold Now Promised By Associated Ptess New York. Jan. 14.—Relief from the Intense rold leather which lias held the Eastern and New England States in it* grip for the past two days is promised to-night or to-morrow. To day. however, near zero weather or below still prevails along the Middle and North Atlantic seaboard. Reports from the "West early to-day indicated that the rising temperature which brought relief there yesterday would reach the lake regions to-day and weather forecasters say they are ex tending eastward. While the cold wave has been sweeping this country, Europe, too, had felt a drop in temperature from Norway to Southern France. Vienna, Berlin and many other German cities report unprecedented drops in the temperature. Drift Ice is running in 'he Danube river and in Paris busi ness for the past twenty-four hours has been at a standstill. In London recent harsh weather conditions are held responsible for a serious rise in the death rate and an epidemic of In fluenza.

C„ Jan. 14. —Presi- dent Wilson conferred to-day with congressional leaders on trust legisla tion. He talked in the forenoon with Chairman Newlands and Democrats of the Senate inter-State commerce com mittee, and reserved the late afternoon j for a second conference with Chair man Clayton and Democrats of the House judiciary committee. To the latter committee the Presi dent had given a preliminary outline of the ideas before Congress recessed three weeks ago. To-day the Presi dent was prepared to discuss with the two committees which will be in charge of trust legislation, specific points in his program. So far as Is possible, it is the in tention of the administration to ob tain from these committees bills upon which they arc all agreed, and before the measures covering the desired field are introduced it Is the President's hope that he may be consulted and that the bills will be launched with the stamp of administration approval, just as was the case with the tariff and currency. An effort will be made to distinguish for the business world those measures which have the backing- of the Presi dent and those which may represent the individual views of members of Congress, though the Presidents friends in fongress hope to reduce the number of personal bills to a mini mum. It was said to-day that the Presi dent's forthcoming message satisfies the trust views of every member of the Cabinet, and that these members in close touch with the business world believe the industry of the country will find healthful reassurance In it. It is the President's purpose to strive [Continued oil Page 2] | Whole Story Untrue, Says President of West End Club Report "There is not one word of truth [in the entire story," said President 'll. A. Douglas, of the West Knd Re publican Club, this morning in replv to a newspaper article published to day to the effect that the charges had been preferred against William Shees ley, chairman of the club's board of trustees, and Thomas Marshall, vice president. The article mentioned asserted that the club is In "the throes of bitter In ternal warfare" and that one faction favors the serving of liquor on Sun days in the clubhouse while the other is opposed to it. "The meeting last evening," said President Douglas, "was well attended and entirely harmonious. Not only were no charges presented, but there was no debate at all on the matter in question. There is no internal dis cord. One member who was defeated for office in the club some time ago I did endeavor to stir up hard feeling,! but he received no support and that has been over long since. "The West End Club is growing nu merically and is prosperous. There is no charge pending against any mem ber, and I have not heard of any un der discussion. The report as it ap peared in a newspaper to-day Is n lie out of the whole cloth and 1 stand ready to prove it as such." 12 PAGES. * POSTSCRIPT. ill STEMS PICK ! OP Fllim "S. 0.

Jan. 14.—The faint Purr of an "S. O. S." call from th« missing steamer Cobequld wu picked UP «t several points in the Bay of Fundy at 10 o'clock this morning and revived hope for the safety of the ves sel and the 1 20 people on board. The wireless was not sufficiently strong or continuous to give the loca tion of the vessel, but Indicated that she had survived a tempestuous night and that there waa still a chanc® f„r her passengers and r-pew. The Canada Northern liner Royal : George caught the cry t,f distresa three time* and heard the steamer Ladv T-.aurier replying, asking for the lo cation of the Cobequld, but no re sponse from the Cobequld could be made out. The Lady L&urler went out from Halifax yesterday to take part in the search and ought to be near the wreck to-day. It is still believed that the Cobequld struck on one of the Grand Manati ledges ajid that Captain Howson mistook the point for Brier Island, when he first called for assistance at daylight yes terday. During the forenoon wreckage began to come ashore on the Yarmouth side of the Bay of F\indv, it. was appar ently from a steamer and made plain from the weathir conditions during the past twenty-four hou#s that some vessel, perhaps the Cobequld. was on the ledges of Grand Mauan and that part, of her upper works had been swept away. The weather conditions were a little more favorable for the sea roll for the Cobequld. to-day. although a dense mint still hung over the waters. The snowstorm had passed,' but the tem perature remained several degrees be low zero and a 30-knot northwestern whipped the sea. Hope for the vessel rests chiefly on the efforts of the United States Revenue cutter Woodbury and the Canadian gocernment steamer Lady Laurier.
