These included the German submarine situation, the Mexican problem and a number of federal ap pointments. The President was expected to con sider first the submarine situation which is admittedly serious. A sum mary of recent developments in Ger man submarine warfare, prepared by the State Department, was ready to be laid before him and, in addition he probably soon will confer again with Ambassador Gerard on the situation. The President has not even con sidered the question of changes in his cabinet according to administration officials who characterize as prema ture reports that he had decided on such changes. It is possible, how ever, that one or two cabinet officers may not remain after March 4. Although Mr. Wilson was tired out when he returned to the White House last night he was up early to-day and had breakfast before 8 o'clock. Im mediately afterward he began reading a huge stack of mail accumulated dur ing his trip to WUHamstown, Mass.

C., Nov. 13.—Nine persons at least, including two women, were drowned in the Fraser river near here last night when an automobile stage from Ladner, B. C„ plunged through an open draw of the bridge and went to the bottom of the stream. Divers had succeeded to-night in re covering eight of the bodies. Three survivors were picked up by a lifeboat from a river tug. In the absence of definite Information as to the number of passengers carried on the stage it was feared by officials here that the death list might be increased to 12. The driver, George Smith, was among the drowned. According to the survivors, Smith failed to observe the warning lights on the bridge which signalled that the draw was open and the heavy ma chine ran unchecked through the wire gates into the river.

'COLD WAVE FROM NORTHWEST WILL HIT HARRISBURG Temperatures at Many Places j Lower Than Ever Recorded in November 26 BELOW IN WYOMING I : To Diminish in Intensity, but City Will Get Taste of Real Wintev Real winter weather including snow J and ice is due this week in Harrisburg. ' According to a dispatch from Wash ; ington, a cold wave, which is breaking all records west of the Mississippi river for this time of the year, is mov ! ing toward the Atlantic coast, j Local observer, E. R. Demain, cor : roborated the dispatch from Washing ton and added: "The city will get .something like real winter about to ! morrow." The cold spell is expected |to last until Saturday or Sunday. : Whether it will bring skating at Wild ! wood can be told more positively to morrow. One thing is certain, the j temperature will go below freezing ; point. Cold Winter Ahead? According to an old legend regard ing St. Martin's Day, which dawned j bright and early Saturday, a severe j winter may be expected. ! On the other hand, had the day j been raw and dismal, many persons [would have accepted this as proof | positive that the winter is to be mild. ; For so runs the legend. I During the fourth century when St. ■ Martin was a soldier under Constan jtinus at Amiens, France, ho cut his j cloak in two parts with his sword and I gave half of it to a beggar. Accord ling to the story, that night he had a | dream in which he saw Christ wear ling the garment he had given the beg jgar. He immediately realized that his ' charity had been extended to Christ i himself. I In later years French peasants, who Iliad learned the story, circulated the j legend that if the. day was cold on the | anniversary of St. Martin's death, the winter months would be mild. After the young soldier's generous gift they believed that Christ had tempered the weather in order that he might not j suffer from the cold. 20 Below in Wyoming I The Washington dispatch says: ! "A cold wave with temperature at | various places lower than ever before 'recorded in November, overspreads the ! region west of the Mississippi to-day j and will move eastward to the Atlantic I coast. Sheridan, Wyo., reported the I lowest temperature with 26 degrees j below zero: Lander, Wyo., 24 degrees ! below zero and Cheyenne, Wyo., Yel- I lowstone National Park aud Havre, j Mont., 20 degrees below zero. The j intense cold reached southward into the interior of Texas. ] Weather Bureau officials to-day said the cold wave perhaps would diminish in intensity as it moved eastward. Its movement and intensity was some j what dependent, they pointed out, • u on the West Indian disturbance (which was reported this morning in the Caribbean sea in the vicinity of : Swan Island. That storm was ap- I parently increasing in intensity and I will move northward, probably at tended by strong winds reaching gale force during the next 36 hours over the east portion of the Gulf of Mexico land South Florida. Rain and snow probably will pre cede the cold wave in the north Atlan tic States, "Great Lakes region, Ohio Valley and Tennessee. The cold will strike the Ohio Valley, Tennessee and the Gulf States to-night and the At lantic States, except south Florida, on Tuesday. Cold wave warnings have been issued for Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Southwest Ohio.

Report of Railroad Police Is Submitted For Court's Consideration To the protests of tlie Dauphin County No-License League and the congregation of Messiah Lutheran Church against the transfer of the Theodore F. Frye hotel from 501 State street to 1012 North Seventh was add ed to-day the vigorous objection of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. That there are enough saloons in this section now', that the new stand is too close to the Herr street subway and the railroad shops, that the char acter of the clientele which Frye will likely serve to increase "unlawfulness" in the neighborhood, and that men and women of both races frequent hotels in that section, are the reasons upon which the railroad company liases its objections. The company's reasons were set forth in a report on the matter which was submitted to W. H. McCaleb. su perintendent of the Philadelphia divi sion of the Pennsylvania railroad by Captain Paul Barclay of the railroad police. The Pennsy's Pro (est The letter was presented in court to-day when the application for trans fer was heard by President Judge Kunkel and Additional Law Judge Mc- Carrell. W. J.

On the witness stand Frye vigorous ly denied that white men or women are permitted to drink together in his State street hotel. Frye is compelled to move from his present quarters because the State is about to take over his property for Capitol park extension purposes. At license court last February Frye tried to move into now quarters in North Seventh street, but withdrew the ap plication in the face of vigorous ob jections.
