EARTHQUAKE REPORT AFAKE
A Bold Fabrication Without any Founda-

No Perlshing Hundreds, No Showers Of Stones,
No Topping Church Spires.
No Earthquake

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Sept. IS.
The statement that an earthquake had
occurred on last Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday. with loss of 300 lives and
causing the destruction of church and
dwellings is without foundation SO far as
is known in Tegucigalpa. No such earth
quake has been heard of here and the
statements made in the dispatches are
false in every detail. The American pub
lie was electrified Friday last, Septem ber
18th, by detailed report in newspapers
served by the United Press of horrible
earthquake disaster which nad devastated
the little republic of Honduras in Gen.
tral America, and, it was said, killed 300
of its inhabitants. This alarming news
was published under date of Te gucigalpa
the capital OF Honduras, to which city it
was alleged the news had been brought
by courier from the city of ''Vetapan,"
which, it was said, had been overwhelmed
by successive shocks Of earthquakes,
bringing ruin and desolation, while the
details were constantly arriving in that
city OF damages in the surrounding coun-
try all day and night Sunday. During
Monday night. 1t was said sheets OF flame
appeared at different points in the north
west. Tuesday night the shocks and
flame made their re-entry into the repub-
lic and Monday the church tower fell,
carrying with it the roofs of three honses.

pict the elimination of the awful catas-
trophe. There was chronicled the de-
struction of II houses at Vetapan and 153
bodies were already recovered and many
more were missing.
Reports from many towns in the inte-
rior represented the disaster as spread
ing over q wide area on a very destruc-
tive scale. The Associated Press real

ton of so appalling an upheaval of nature
and the elements, involving such horri-
fying destruction of human life and prop

short. no earthquake

PROTESTING AGAINST THE CONCESSION
Opposed to the Sale of Whisky in the Me-

WASHINGTON. Sept. 15.-Mr. J. E.
Johnson, secretary of the Atlanta expo
stion committee for the colored people
of the District of Columbia, has written
an open letter to the exposition authori-
ties in Atlanta protesting against the
granting OF concession for the sale of
cheap WHISKY in the negroes building at
the exposition. Mr.. johnson says in
part:
1.-The entire commission having in
charge the colored exhibit from the city
of Washington are surprised and cha
gTined to learn that after all It's WORK to
procure for your exposition good dis
play the articles collected must be placed
in an exposition groggery. Gou should
have advised us long since ii such were
the aims and objects of your company.
Why dia you not have this whisky guz-

buildings?
1.-The whole management must know
that where You crowd together as il is
hoped to do ut Atlanta. thousands of col
ored people of all classes in cheap bar
room, trouble is bound to ensue, perhaps
IN the shape of murder or lynching. If
this concession must stand then you
ought not to expect the white and col
ored press of the country to induce our
people 10 go to the exposition. On the
contrary, every respectable and int1uen-
tial newspaper will vigorously advise all
coiored people to remain away

ence, NO.. delivered the sermon.
The evening sermon was by Rev. A.
H. Smith of Lamont. He said: 1T is
strange but true that many of the outside
world still confuse the Latter Day Saints
with the Utah Mormons, and it keeps
the elders busy trying to convince the
public mind that they are not, and never
were, believers in polysamy.'
Permanent organization was effected
by the election of Rev A. H. Smith of
Lamont as president. Rev. T. W. Will
ans of Council Bluffs as secretary, A.
