MANY TREMORS
IN new MEXICO
CENTER OF THE DIS
TURBANCE.
4 Scientist Says the Mountains Are
Moving On Their Slippery Beds of
Clay-Shooks Felt Almost Daily,
and Buildings Are Damaged and In
habitants Terror-Stricken.

Albuquerque. y M-With a mum
Der of buildings in ruins, many of
the inhabitants terror-stricken and de-
sorting the city in large numbers,
owing to numerous earthquake shocks,
Socorro. - miles south of here, is still
being shaken almost hourly by con
tinued seismic disturbances.
The shocks were first felt July u
at sos in the morning. Since that
time 56 distinct shocks have been felt.
Almost all the business houses are
closed. while the proprietors' families
seek temporary refuge by coming here.
Those remaining are sleeping in tents,
camping in yards and in the streets.
A pathetic feature of the continued
disturbances is the superstition of the
Mexicans. who fall upon their knees
end pray aloud for succOr. They march
through the streets bearing lighted
candles. offering up prayers to the
Virgin Mary.
Almost every one of the adobe build
ings are in ruins or cracked badly.
Special dispatches received here tell
OF great cracks in the streets and of
the sinking completely from sight of
a nine in the Magdalena mountains
San MarciaI, 100 miles south of here.
has been visited by shocks almost
daily since the disturbances first be
gan, as has Magdalena, San Antonio,
Kelly. Alamo Gordo and other places
to the south and east
Albuquerque was visited by one
slight shock, as was FL Paso.
Fayette A. Jones. a scientist, gives
it as his opinion that the continued
disturbances are due to the readjust
nent of the mountain masses.
He says: 1t is Il well-known fact
that a large portion of the Socorro
mountains rest on a bed of slippery
clay. The effect of a slip of one-six-
teenth of an inch in this mountainous
mass is sufficient to cause a disturb
ance within 100 miles. Tremors will
continue until the mass has settled
which may take years"
LSocOrrO, The center of The disturb
ance, is west and south of the cen
trail part of Mexico. 1t is on the Rio
Grande river, at the foot Of the Socor-
TO mountains. This region bears the
imprint Of volcanic eruptiOns 1t is
nothing unusual for the region to be
shaken by earth tremors, and it may
be as Scientist Jones says, that some
OF the mountains are settling, or NOV
ing, on their beds of clayl

THE DEATH OF LADY CURzoN
Formerly First Lady of India, and Was
Americana Born.

LondOn-Lady Curzon Of Keddle-
ston, wife of the former viceroy of In
dia, died here She never quite re
covered from her serious illness at
Walmen castle, Kent, in 1901, and the
recent Rot weather brought on a pro
nounced attack of general debility.
Lady CurzOn was in her own right
the possessor of $4,000, 600. She was
the daughter of Levi Z. Letter, of Chi
CagO. During a stay in London Miss
Letter met George \. Curzon, eldest
son of Rev Alfred Nathaniel Holden
CurZOn, fourth Baron ScarsdaIe.
They were married in 1895. In 1898
Curzon was created first Baron Cur
zon of Keddleston, and in 1899 was
appointed viceroy and governor-Sen-
eral of India, which post he resigned
in August 1905, and was succeeded
by the earl of Mimic.
