VAST RICHES ARE LAID WASTE
Northwestern RegiOn of Guatemala IL
due to Ruin by the Re-
cent Earthquakes.

SALT LAKE, May 1O.-In a letter to the
president Of the Mormon church, dated
April 20, from Paul Henning, elder and
representative of the church in Guatemala,
further details are given of the disastrous
earthquakes in that country. Mr.. Henning
says:
The whole northwestern region, one of
the richest in Central America, is in ruins
utes after s o'clock the first shock was
felt. This lasted from thirty to forty sec
onds and caused the widest panic. There
was no loss of life in Guatemala City, and
the property damage was less thar at first
feared, though walls were cracked all over
the city and many old houses were tum-
bled In ruins. Ever since then the shocks
have continued with more or less violence.
The worst damage was done In the City of
Quezaltenango, the second largest in the
country. Here II is estimated that from
1900 TO 5000 people were killed.
At the time of the first shock a violent
thunder and rain storm was raging. The
electric lighting plant of the city had been
stricken by the rumbling and shaking of
the earthquake, rushed from their houses,
It was only to meet death Stumbling and
railing In. the marrow, winding streets in
total darkness. save when the lightning
lit up the crumbling city with an unearthly
glare, the people died by thousands under
the falling walls, while other thousands
were caught like rats only to die OF suf-
location or drowning.
Ihe quaking and rain kept up continually
Tor three days. This made II almost i'm
possible to do effective relief work, and as
a consequence now that the hot weather
again prevails, the stencil from the thou
sands OF bodies buried in the ruins is un-
~bearable, and fears are entertained of an
epidemic. Hundreds OF bodies probably
never will be recovered.

RAMSEY EXPLAINS TROUBLE
wabash Has No Intention 20 Deprive
Colorado Road of ST. Louis
Terminal.

ST. LOUIS, May 10.-Presideut Joseph
Ramsey, jr, of the wabash, after a con-
sultation with his general counsel, Colonel
Blodgett, has given out an Official state,
ment In respect to the reported shutting
out Of the Colorado road from the use OF
Wabash terminal facilities. He said:
The statement that the Wabash company
has tied up the traffic of the Colorado and
shut that road of at Forsyth Junction,
thereby violating the trackage contract. is
without foundation in fact.
The Colorado road is running all of Its
trains and receiving and handling traffic
and cars to and from other connections in
Mill Creek over the Wabash tracks, and
Wabash to prevent them from doing so.
The Wabash has simply declined TO con-
tinue to handle and switch the Colorado
cars in the Wabash company,s own yards
and on its own tracks, outside of the
tracks, sidetracks and 1Bnt-of-way COW
cred by the CONTRACT; We lave no desire
trafic, but are forced on account of the
crowded condition of our own yards, and
In order to take care of the Wabash COM
pany's interest, to restrict the use Of our
yards and facilities outside of the right-of-
way, for our own traffic. This Is all there
AS far as the Rock Island is concerned.
that company has not been taken into con-
sideration. Notice was served on the Colo
RADIO road over a month ago to the effect
that we would cease to do business for
that company in our yards after May l II
Jney Qlu not pay lOT the SERVICES performed
for them during the past five or six months.
In referring to President Ramey's state
ment, George s. Sands, president and gen.
eral manager OF the st. Louis, Kansas City
& Colorado road. cited a decision Of the
supreme court. decreeing that the Colorado
had a right to the use Of the Wabash
tracks, the terminal facilities and all other
agents and employees for switching between
Forsyth Junction and Eighteenth street.
"Our contract with the Wabash people,"
said Mr.. Sands, "is a yearly one, and we
have paid up regularly. The last payment
for 1901 was made December 81, 1901.
THE Terminal association notified the
Missouri Pacific some time ago that 1t
would not handle freight for our road.
THE Missouri Pacific so informed us
and we replied that we were ready and
able to handle all of the business that
company could give us.
"At the start Of this controversy the Wa
bash deprived us Of our switching facili-
ties, and now they have gone a step fur
Their and claim we have no right to use
certain of their tracks between here and
Forsythe Junction"
President Sands said his people had not
yet decided whether the controversy would
be taken to court.

SHOOT JEWELER AND NEGRO

Chicago Who Resists Day
light Robbery.

CHICAGO. May 10.-Two robbers made
a desperate attempt to rob the jewelry
store OF A. Kaemffer, 146 West Madison
street, today. Mr.. Kaemffer was shot and
probably fatally wounded, and a colored
boy who ran to his assistance was shot
in the leg.
Kaemffer was alone in the store when the
two robbers entered. He resisted and both
pulled their pistols. One of them shot
him and he fell to the floor. The colored
boy, Eugene Wood, ran fran an adjoin-
ing barber shop to the jewelers. aid, but
fell with a bullet in his leg.
The two robbers, having, It is said, OBJ
tanned no booty. rushed to the street and
held a small crowd at bay with their re-
volvers while they made their escape.
Later the police arrested one kid" Muir

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-In the senate to-

requested Immediate consideration. It was

MEAT QUESTION SETTLED.
Right Food to TAKE Its Place.


THE shortness of the meat supply and
the high price OF steak Is not an unmiti-

"If meat could be raised to a price hat

Of good result, because II would teach those
who depend almost entirely upon Il TO

many good things Of which they are now
ignorant. To many, especially in the

meat, potatoes and bread. At noon he finds
cold meat and bread in his dinner pail, and
at night he is confronted by meat and pota-

chopped into hash.
This kind Of thing hlls him, but in a
inner sense II can hardly be said to feed
