Boston, Feb. 10—Several craft were aground tonight in Boston harbor as the result of trying to find their way through the dense fog which almost without intermission has shrouded the shipping channels today.
The British steamer City of Boston, carrying a cargo from the Orient and bound for New York, edged out of dock this morning. After being held in the upper harbor until this afternoon, she attempted to run out when the vapor bank lifted momentarily. The fog suddenly descended again and the ship grounded on the mud of the lower middle. It was believed that she would be re-floated at high tide tonight.

BERLIN, Jan. 30.—Adolf Hitler, fiery leader of the German Fascists, came into political power in Germany today when he assumed the chancellorship in a new German cabinet.
Hitler, whose political rise as chief of the Nazis has been one of the amazing developments of post-war politics, abandoned the “all or nothing” policy he had held toward participating in the government. He accepted Franz von Papen as his vice-chancellor and reich’s commissioner for Prussia.
Hitler’s formation of a new government to succeed that of General Kurt von Schleicher took Berlin completely by surprise.

Snow began falling about 10 o’clock Tuesday morning and continued throughout the day with increasing intensity in the afternoon and evening. With the low temperature, the storm, which was driven by a bitter wind from the northeast, made it particularly disagreeable for all who had occasion to venture forth.
