800 PERSONS KILLED
oUEaALTENAoo REDUCED TO
 RUINS BY EARTHQUAKE.
The --., .f Amatitlan Also Suffers 70" .ely from Seismic Disturb oC ance-The Destruction Ex-
 tended for 100 Miles

New York, April 2i.-The three earth quakes on Friday night reduced to ruins Quesaltenango the second city Of in'- portance in GuatamaIa, having 25,ooc ln- habitants, and completely destroyed the town of Amatitsan. says Guatamaia City dispatch to The Herald. Both of these towns were capitals of the depart ments of the same name each pears.
 it is reported that 600 persons were killed in Quesaltenango, but the rumor lacks confirmation. The exact loss of life cannot now be ascertained. News of tse destruction. which extended 100 miles along the western part of the republic. is coming in slowly, because all the tele- graph wires are down.
 It Is known that Amatitlsn exists no more as a town, the seismic disturbance having been so great. The inhabitants. that is those of the 10,0eo residents who escaped death in the cataclysm. are camp ing in the open air for safety, not daring to return to the ruined confines of the town. Some of the inhabitants are build ing temporary mud huts.
 More news has been obtained about the conditions of affairs at Amatitlan than at Quesaltenango. as the former is only fifteen miles south of this city. while the latter is more than 100 miles to the north west.
 Couriers say earthquakes shocks are still being felt at short intervals in the neighborhood of Quesa1tenango.
 There have been serious seismic dis turbances along the Cordiellera. affecting towns and villages between Amatatlan and Quesaltenango. No reliable informa- tion regarding loss of life or the extent of property destruction in these tnterme- diate places has reached here.
 Slight disturbances were felt at Guate- mala City. but no great damage resulted.

GIRLS MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Took Mixed Drink from Stranger
 at a Road House.

New York. April. 21.-Another mystery, and apparently a tragedy somewhat sim liar to the Jennie Boschieter case. Is caus- ing much excitement in and about Pater- son.
 Mary Etta Shippe. 19 years old. a silk mill worker. died at Wanaque. twelve miles from Paterson. and her statement and the circumstances indicate that her death resulted from something she drank at road house. while in the company or young man. whom she declared. she did not know. An autopsy was performed by the County physician but he declines to make any statement until chemical ex- animation has been completed.
 Miss Shippe was the daughter of we'll to-do farmer attractive in appearance and educated, and bore an excellent rep utation. Her father lives near Macoupin During the last year she had been em. ployed in silk mill at Manadue ana made her home with friends of her fam jly there She went very little into the society of the village and passed most or her leisure time riding her bicycle over the country roads.
 Aefer one of these rides she complained of illness and finally. on her death bed. said she had taken drink of roof beer at a road house with a young man, whom she declared she had met on the road for tho first time.
 There are several road houses In the vicinity but no degree Of questioning could induce her to tell which place she visited or anything more about the iden- tity of the man. She died in great agony.

RIOT IN SYNAGOGUE,
The Advice of District Attorney
 Jerome Was Not Heeded.

New York. April 21.-In his capacity as friendly adviser for the people or tne East Side. among whom he is living, Dis- trict Attorney Jerome has been called on to settle a dispute over the possessioif ot A synagogue at 122 Monroe Street.
 MT. Jerome counselled peace, put his advice was not taken. as tremendous row started there about two hours iater Doors were smashed in, windows broken and the interior of the synagogue was wrecked At one time two score men were fighting all over the place.

Washington. April 2i.-{SpectM )-Today deyeloped an undercurrent or>N hostile Democratic criticism in the House Of Representatives against Representative Oscar Underwood of Alabama.
 It went as far as an attempt to form a movement to oust him from the Com mittee on Rules, but this effort proved futile because none of the stalwart Demo- crats would join the movement.
 Those who critized Mir. Underwood take for their motive his denial of last Friday that he had in the Democratic caucus of Thursday night charged the Repub- licans with offering to barter the Demo- crats a number of votes against the Crumpacker resolution for a number in favor of the Cuban reciprocity bill His critics declare his denial stopped fierce war among Republicans who were turning on each other for making the offer to traffic in legislation. whereas if he had remained quiet the great split among Republicans would have grown wider and wider
 A vast Indyority ol the DenocratS tHliik MT. Underwood did the right thing in making the denial.
 The old service members go further and declare his tactics in the caucus created the most powerful influence that operated for the tremendous Democratic victory on the following day.
 They point out that he brought up the subject of the Crumpacker resolution in the caucus. not as a charge that Repub- licans had offered to trade votes for it. but merely mentioning the current rumors that Republicans were talking about trading. They declare this talk of MT. Underwood when published next day, not only brought around a number of re- vengeful Crumpacker votes to the Cuban cause. but set & majority of the beet sugar Republicans against the Crum- packer resolution, thus at one stroke winning the day for the Cuban cause and killing the chances for the Crumpacker resolution.
 It has been said by leading Democrats today that Mir. Underwoods move was one of the very shrewdest of the session and it proved eminently successful.
 In speaking of his course in making

When one goes to the South and sees this fact for him self. they say, he will come back ccn- vinced that it is best for the North to keep hands of and let the men of tho South. white and black, arrange their own political and industrial interests.
 The vast majority of the blacks are sat- isfied and it would be good thing if all those who are now disposed to aaitate the question would go South and see this for themselves.

 Reference was made in the addresses to the growing encouragement between the races and the need of knowing US causes in order that remedies nigh. be applied. The speakers urged that the inquiry should be conducted cn strictly nom partisan basis and without political me- tivcs.
