MORMON ELDER WRITES A LET
TER FROM GUATEMALA ABOUT
RECENT EARTHQUAKES.
PEOPLE DIE BY THOUSANDS
For the Past Month Shocks Have Been
Almost Of Continuous Occurrence
Stencil Unbearable-Bodies
Cannot Be Recovered.
By Associated Press.)


Salt Lake, Utah, May 10.-ln letter
to the presidency of the Mormon church,
dated April 23, from Paul Henning, elder
and representative of the church In Qua
temala, further details are given of the
disastrous earthquakes in that country.
1.-THE whole northwestern region" said
Mr.. Henning, zone Of the richest in Cen
trail America, Is in ruins. The evening
of the 18th of April about 20 minutes
after 5 o'clock the first shock was felt.
This lasted from 80 to 40 seconds and
caused the widest panic.
There was no loss of life in Guatemala
City, and the property damage was more
than at first feared, although walls We're
cracked all over the city and some houses
tumbled In ruins.
ever since, the shocks have continued
with more or less violence. The worst
damage was done in the City of Quesal-
tenango, the second largest city in the
island, where 1t is estimated 1.500 to 1000
people were killed. The shock came while
a violent thunder and rain storm was
raging.
Only to Meet Death.
The electric lighting plant has been
stricken by the rumbling and shaking of
the earthquake rushed from their
houses, 1t was only to meet death.
Stumbling and falling in the narrow
winding streets in total darkness, save
when the lightning lit up the crumbling
city with an unearthly glare, people died
by thousands under the falling walls,
while other thousands were caught like
rats only to die from suffocation or
drowning.
"The quaking and thunder kept up for
three days. This made it almost impos-
sible to do any effective relief work and
as a consequence, now that the hot
weather again prevails, the stencil from
the thousands OF bodies buried in the
ruins Is unbearable, and fears are enter
tained Of an epidemic.
Hundreds of bodies probably will
never be recovered"
