EARTHQUAKE WRECKS
TOWN IN NEW MEXICO
inhabitants Are Fleeing from
SocorrO in Terror
HOT SPRINGS GROW HOTTER
People Fear That Ancient Extinct
Volcanoes Will Break Out Afresh.
BouIders on Tracks Keep
Out Trains.

Kansas City. July 1s.-A special to the
to the Times from Ell Passo says socorro,
N NJ, south of Santa Fe. has been dam
aged by an earthquake. F1fty-two shocks
have been felt since Sunday morning. The
court house is wrecked. The buildings Of
the school of mines are cracked and
nearly every residence In the city Is
cracked or wrecked. More than two-thirds
of them at least are damaged or de-
stroyed.
The town, which is largely composed
of adobe and brick houses, is almost
shaken to pieces. and the people are flee
ing in all directions, but so far no one
is reported killed. The Santa Fe Rail
road has sent box cars to Socorro to
take the people away and many have al
ready fled. Huge boulders have been
Jared down on the railroad track, and
trains cannot enter the town. They are
stopping several miles out.
The water in the hot springs near
Socorro have increased several degrees in
temperature. and the inhabitants fear
that the ancient and extinct volcano, ten
miles from the town, will break out and
begin spouting lava again.
The people are fleeing without anything,
locking up their houses and getting out
as soon as they can.
The entire surrounding country has felt
the shocks, and much damage has been
done, especially at San Marcial and Mag
dalena, but not so severe as at Socorro.
A cloudburst occurred near Carlsbad.
N. NJ, today. and three inches of rain
fell in an hour. All streams and canyons
are oVerflowing. and there will be much
damage to crops.

clation tomorrow. Several members Of

T. A. Hammond of Atlanta, president
OF the association. delivered the annual
address. discussing the subject: "Is There
a Growing Disposition or Tendency TO Dis
regard or Evade the Law" Discussing
the subject of lynching, Judge Hammond
declared that while the editorial utter
ances of the newspapers on the subject
are TO be commended. the news head
lines encourage the disregard of law.
There Is no such thing as the delays Of
the law" said he. THE sovereign pow
ers. which alone have the right to make
laws. fix the place of trial regulate the
term of courts, prescribe the manner Of
trail, and give certain rights to the state
and the party properly accused and legal
ly brought before the bar of justice"
Judge Hammond declared that labor has
n right to organize, to walk out of any
place of business at any time, provided
these things be done in accordance with
law, but violence or force In urging GER
tain views on others Is pernicious dis
re egrd of law for which the perpetrators
shoalu be held liable.

Man Who Puts Glucose In His Syrup
May as Well Label It Poison.

Hartford, Conn, July 18.-Discus-
sion of some of the common methods
of adulterating food was begun at the
opening of the second days session of

Dairy and Pure Food departments at
the capital The first paper was on
"Uniform Labelling" read by L. Da-
vies, commissioner at Washington.
During this Judge Emery referred TO
the practice of mixing glucose with
molasses syrup and selling the latter
as pure article. He said:
Manufacturers who put in a mix
ture of glucose or other adulterant dis
claim any mercenary motive, but on
the other hand claim 1t is done In
benevolent spirit and for the good OF
humanity. If they told the truth, they
might Just as well label their foods
with the skull and cross bones"
DR.. w d. Bigelow of Washington
spoke of the investigation of food prod
ucts and the enforcement of state law.
In one state, he said, q per cent OF
the milk was found to have been d.
luted, or contained preservatives.
DR.. l.. A. Winter of New Haven said
there were many prosecutions In Eng
land for the use Of boracic acid. He
referred to the disclosures of the pack
ing houses in Chicago and expressed
the belief that most of the abuses had
been already corrected.

this afternoon, entertained a motion to
quash the indictments against alleged

condition at the present moment. means
that should he then become sane. he
would have to stand trial for killing STAN

confined.
Bear in mind this distinction-that a
commission can pass only upon the mem
tai condition of the prisoner at the pres
ent time, and has nothing to do with the
question of whether or not he was insane
when the killing was done The latter
question is one that would have to be
decided upon by jury and would not
