A great earthquake, the most vio-

part of what Is now the United States,
was that known as the earthquake of
New Madrid, Mo-, in 1911, which~was
characterized by the prolongation of
its phenomena. Severe shocks oc-
Cured at short intervals during pc
ricd of several months, and the en-
tire period of tremors covered a period
of nearly two years. AS the country
was then sparsely settled little is
known of the distance to which the
perceptible vibrations extended, but in
the central tract the phenmena were
of the most impressive character, and
the pcrt of the country in which the
vibrations were most violent suffered
topographic changes which have long
attracted the attention Of scientific ob-
servers.
Low Lands Disappeared.
1t is related that the low lands ~
ing near the Mississippi were trav-
ersed by visible waves which rocked
the forest trees to and fro, uprooting
many. Some lakes were drained by
the escape of their waters into assures

Reelsfoot Lake, in Tennessee, is

81 wonder the Africans do not
shoot with poisoned arrows every
white man that lands upon their
coast; for they have brought them rum
and are still bringing it; and in few
decades more, if the rum traffic con-
tinues, there will be nothing left in
Africa for God to save. The vile rum
in this tropical climate is depopula-
ting the country more rapidly than
famine, pestilence and war, and am
only waiting for man to fill my
place at Nuremberg mission to come
home and take the platform against
the liquor traffic; for can do Africa
more good warning against the liquor
traffic here than can preaching and
teaching the gospel there. Africa,
with the simple gospel of Jesus is
saved, but Africa with rum is eter-
nally lost; for the few missionaries
that can survive there cannot over
come the effect of the river of strong
drink that is being poured into the
country. Rev. David A. Day, a
missionary in Liberia.

Saus Tt VIII Go an Effect jane 1.

Union N Bethel. general manager of the New
York Telephone Company. was the principal
speaker last night at the annual dinner of the
company's general representatives at Shanleys
He announced that beginning June there
would be a reduction in the local pay station
rate from ten cents to five cents. The arrange
ment. he said, would become effective in all the
boroughs at the time. The only reserya-
ton from this date, he declared, would be IN
some of the hotels and apartment houses where
special facilities and help are furnished by the
hotel proprietors, the rate remaining at ten
cents as
Mr.. Bethel spoke of the steady decrease OF
rates, made possible by the increased number OF
central offices, which has reduced the cost or
maintenance He told the representatives that
after his continuous service of thirteen years he
become first vfce-president OF this company and

MARTIAL LAW IN BOGOT4,
Conspirators Being Tried, Reyes
.Saus, and Peace assured.

The official announcement was made yester-
day that Bogota, the capital of Colombia. was
on Thursday declared in state of siege. This
news was received in a cable dispatch from
President Rafael Reyes to Luis E. Bonilla,
Colombian Consul General in this city. The
message which was dated January 1S, read:
Capital is declared in a state of siege in order
to Judge conspirators with perfect calmness.
Siege will be raised in a few days. Absolute
tranquility prevails throughout the country.
Peace assured.
The only recent intimaton of trouble in Co
Iombia was the arrest Of members of one OF the
courts on the charge Of attempting to ferment
a revolution.
These are probably the "conspirators' referred
10 by President Reyes in his dispatch. There
has, however, been no news of any fighting in
the republic, which the words peace assured
might indicate.
President Reyes has had practically no armed
opposition to his government since he assumed
mower about two years ago. This unusual con-
dition in Colombia probably due to the
Arrness with which the general has governed
the country, and his edict that any person guilty
NJ sedttion would be court martialed and shot.

FOR GENERAL INQUIRY.
ACTION 1T ALBANY.
Minority Leaders May Put IN Reso-
luton to Investigate Departments.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune]
Albany, Jan. Ex-senator Marks and Assem-
blyman Palmer, both Democrats, will introduce
on Monday night, 1t IS expected. resolutions
calling for a general investigation of the State
departments. ignoring the statement OF ex-Sen-
ator Pound legal adviser to Governor Higgins
that the legislature has no power to Institute
a FISHING expedition" They think that the dis
closures of the insurance Investigating COM
mittee and charges made against other depart
nents, notably the Merrill charges, and the
charges made against Superintendent Kilburn Of
the State Banking Department, will warrant a
legislative examination of all departments haV-
ing business with corporations.
There seems little doubt, from the sentiments
expressed alike by the independent Republicans
the men who side with Ex-Governor Odeli. the
Democrats and some few of the regular Repub-
iicaug that these resolutions will be supported.
Before Governor Higgins. through his coun-
sells memorandum, took the stand that there
ought not to be an investigation without definite
charges, resolutions similar to those which the
minority representatives will introduce were be-
Ing prepared by several members.
Since the statement was issued there have
been many informal discussions OF 1t among the
legislators especially those who were interested
IN the nendfne, resolutions and they have about
decided that if the Governor hoped to carry out
to success the reforms he hoped to see instituted
when he advocated Mr. wadsworth for Speaker
he should be asked to change his views on the
subject of an investigation.
When he returns to Albany some Of these legls-
lators, according to their present plan. Will call
on him and explain their views. They Will say
that the people are so wrought up by the insur-
anoe committees disclosures that only lesis-
Iative investigation will satisfy them
In view of the approaching State election IL
will be urged that. as part Of the Republican
administration. the heads OF the various de-
partments- Superintendent Kilburn. Superfn-
tendsnt Hendricks and Controller Kelsey-should
ask for an investigation, taking the burden from
the executives shoulders.
Sunerintendent Kilburn- Of the State Banking
Denartment has been in consultation with the
Governor as to the prospect of an examination.
He has told friends that he would be glad to
have one, as it would settle all the talk which
Is being made now about his department Con-
troller Kelsey, when the charges against John
7 Merrill were preferred, immediately asked
Attorney General Mayer. virtually an outsider
n conduct an investigation. 1t Is argued that
he too. would re perfectly willing to nave ieg-
isIative inquiry.
