Boardwalk Wrecked at Chelsea,

Wall Saves Longport
CAPE MAY THREATENED
Chelsea, Ventnor and Margate, the
fashionable suburbs of Atlantic City,
arc slowly recovering today from the'
highest and most destructive storm tido
in the history of the resort.
From every seashore resort came
news this morning of. battering seas,
destructive winds and unparalleled high
tides that swept into the towns.
The suburban sections of Atlantic
City suffered most, however. Tlte
Boardwalk in part of Chelsea and
nearly all of Ventnor and Margate, was
wrecked by the sea, lashed into fury
by n forty-milc-nn-kour gale. Long
port, which has suffered most in other
big storms, was protected' by its new
sea wall, which stood the heavy test
well, as whole regiments of angry waves

Streets Wcro Floodod
Throughout Atlantic City and tho ud
jacent resorts the tides swept so high
during the night that street ends every
where wero flooded, and in many cases
the only way to get automobiles out was
to run them on tlic Boardwalk.
The storm and rising tides stopped
trolley service both on Atlantic ave
nue and across the meadows. The
Shore Fast Line to Pleasantville and
Ocean City ran only one train nn hour.
The flooding of the Inlet section nil
but engulfed the electric light and power
plant, which was completely surrounded
by water. The yachtmen's wharf at
the Inlet was carried away almost en
tirely. The heaviest damage was at the other
end of the island, below New Haven
awuuo iu Ventnor. The small Casino
and the adjoining fishing pier in Ventnor
btood tho storm, due to the protection
of heavy piling and roekwork.
All along the Boardwalk heavy iron
lighting standards were snapped off.
The wreckage of tho Boardwalk kept
up a constant hammering of the bulk
heading and threatened to undermine
ocean-front cottages. Heavy timbers,
ripped from the Boardwalk, did dam
age everywhere. In the Lighthouse
section they smashed the basement win
dows of the Vermont avenue apartments
and the waves flooded the lower floor of
these structures. The occupants were
in readiness to leave, but were able to
stay in their houses. Mrs. Anna Stu
pleton, sixty years old, who lives in the
ticket office of the Inlet ball park In
winter, was driven up to the grand
btand by tho rising water and later res
cued. Cape May Menaced
Cape May reported storm conditions
only a little less severe than Atlantic
City. It was feared for a time that
Villa Marie Convent, at the foot of Cape
May avenuo, would be washed away.
Tho building is protected by heavy em
bankment's, ngainst which tho wuves
washed with only slight damago to the
structure.
Buildings in South Capo May wero
menaced, and latest reports were that
tho dunger had not yet ceased. Tho U.
H. coast artillery barracks at Scwell's
Point muy bo swept tiwuy unless the.
storm blows itself out soon.
The central portion of Sea Islo City
was uuder water this morning, after a
night of battering from the rising tide.

The wind blew eighteen miles an hour
from the northeast this morning, but
later dropped to fifteen miles. Tomor
row is to be partly cloudy nnd warmer.
With more than six inches of heavy
snow nlrcady fallen, railroads and trno
tion companies were faced with the
worst situation in two years, due to the
high winds which swirled the impeding
element into deep drifts, clogging
switches, blocking railway cuts and
causing hnvoc to trnffic generally.
The Pennsylvania Itailroad and
Philadelphia and Heading Railway
lines to Ocean City were both blocked
by nn unusually high tide, which the
wind tossed in over tins marsniuwi ,
causeways, piling ice over the tracks,
and effectually isolating Ocean City
from the mainland. Officials of both
companies said it would be impossible
to stnto when tratlic between tlic resort
and the mninland could be re-established,
as there was little promise of
early abatement from the fury of the
sea.
Western Trains Very Late
All trains from the West ou both
the Pennsylvania and Reading-systems
are delayed from ono to two hours,
while local trains to the suburbs are
being operated with difficulty under a
schedule subject to fifteen minutes' de
lay. Traffic on the Pennsylvania Railroad
was completely blocked on several
branches.
Three Pennsylvania trains, the 10
Tclock train from Philadelphia to New
York, and tho 10 and 11 o'clock train
from New York to Philadelphia, were
annulled, due to (bslructions.
Drifts iu the cuts blocked all traffic
on .the .West .Chester' branch, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, 'and -halted "nil
traffic between Frazier and West Ches
ter. Traffic was-iilso completely para
lyzed on the Columbia and Port Deposit
branch.
The railroads, both in Pennsylvania
nnd New Jersey, were unable to main
tain nnything like n normal schedule,
nnd trains from up-state on the Read
ing were from fine to two hours late.
Storm Covers Wilo Area
The fury of the storm was felt all
through New York and Pennsylvnnin
ns far west as Lake Frio and west -of
Pittsburgh. The snow, which the
Weather Bureau asserts Is one of the
heaviest in consistency in the history of
the bureau, wn lighter through central
and western Pennsylvania. Reports
from Curlisle, Reading and Harrisbufg
indicate n snowfall ot from ten to
eighteen inches.
All through the night the Philndel-
ptuu .iiapifl Transit co. mobilized an
army of laborers nnd its complete snow-
combatting
npparutus, including 100
snowplows,
n an cltort to Keep lines
open.
Uuicf Hepburn, of the bureau of high
ways, took personal charge of a large
force of men detailed to clear the streets
in the heart of the city.
Due to the high wiiur, which beached
two vessels in the harbor, Philadelphia's
coastwise mid foreign trade was brought
to u partial tieup by the storm. Ves
sels would uot venture from th t
lerths, as reports indicated n blindh j
snow at sea, accompanied by an unusu
ally high running tid.
Steamships Aro Delayed
Scleral steamships just arrived in
port were delayed bv the storm. The

reaching this city. Tie chief engineer
reported terrific gales and snow off
the Brcakwnter.
Tho steamship A'crbania was greatlv
dclii pd in getting up the mer from
the Breakwater, due to the blizzard cou

running early this morning, resumed
its regular schedule at 11 o'clock.
The storm, which includes in its area
most of tho Atlantic stntes, began early
yesterday morning with n mild rain,
which soon changed tn snow nnd then to

Washington, I'eb. .". The adminis-
tration took steps today to let Great
j Britain know informally of its displeas
ure at the piihlicntion of the Grey let
ter. Tn response to a question it an
nounced at the White House that the
President had not been consulted in
regard to the Grey letter or its subject.
It is pointed out by friends of the
administration that ordinnry diplo-
mntie courtesy required consultation
with the President or the secretary of!
Rtnte upon a matter such as this, uliicli
involved the diplomatic relations be-
t .. ..,.! I
twecn the two nations
Instead of consulting the President,
Viscount Grey consulted with the Presi
dent's bitterest foe, Senator Lodge. The
understanding hero is that the publi
cation of the Grey letter was in pur
suance of it suggestion made by tlic
Massachusetts senator. It is said that
when he was informed by Lord Grej
of Great Britain's attitude on the reser
vation, he said, "hut what good does
that do unless ou let the public know ?"
View Grey Letter as Affront
So Lord Grey, from the, White 1 louse
point of view, not only committed the
i offense of dcnliug with members of
Congress instead of with the Executive,
to whirii he was in-credited, but he also.
(-made it worse by dealing with

Mr.
Wilson's bitterest personal foe.
He did something more thnu that.'
He interfered iu party politics on the
eve of u national campaign and hns
done his best to destroy the basis on '
which one party was prepariug, if
necessary, lo cuter the campaign, ami;
to erect a firm basis for its opjiotient ,
to go before the people upou. And it
happens to be President Wilson's party i
vvlinsr issue' Lord Grey has destroyed.
Ever since the defeat of the treaty
In November both parties hove been'
trying so lo shape their conduct that
if the treaty went over into the next ,
campaign each could assert that the
failure to make peace and reot a
league of nntious was the fault of (he
other. This lias been particularly true
since' the Jackson Day dinner when'
the President, angry nt Mr. Bryan, of
fered opeuly to make the treaty an issue '

AVIiiln the President is laying his
plans for party success in ease the
treaty is defeated, Lord Grey, iu the
opinion of friends of the White House,
conspired with the leader of the op
position in the Senate to shape the po
litical issue in case the treaty is de
feated favorably to the opposition.
This was cuect rauier tlmn the in
tent of the publication of the Grey
letter after tn; di-cussioii uctweeu the

Lodge The intent vvns pluin enough
and was equally annoying to the White

The intent of Llojd George, for the

was to cut tho ground from under

acceptance of the treaty.

"Stop jazzing."
The peremptory words wero not a
command. Their application was to a
general condition and not to a dance or
it species of dance music.
Charles .1. Hepburn, former chief
counsel for the food administration in
