NOISE AND SHOCKS FRIGHTFUL

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, July
fo,-Refugees in large numbers are
arriving here from Socorro, N. NJ,
where great damage has been
wrought by succession of daily
earthquakes since July 2. In that
time not an hour has passed without
one or more quakes.
The center of the disturbance is a
zone thirty miles long by about ten
miles wide. running from the La
drone mountains southeast through
SOCOrrO, San Antonio and San Mar
clal. This side of the belt the shocks
have been hardly felt.
Each one is preceded by a loud rumbiing
like heavy thunder. which can be heard ap-
preaching from the northwest before IL
reaches Socorro.
Senator Baca of Socorro until recently
district attorney, is here with his family
He says that people are leaving on every
train. and those who cannot ride on the
railroad are leaving by wagon About 2OOO
people are camping out in tents, and no
one dares to go indoors
Practically every residence and business
Dlock in the town has been irreparably
damaged There has been much distress
among the people who are camping In the
open. as heavy rains have fallen in the
last two days
Most of the people are going to El Paso,
although many are coming to Albuquerque
and Santa Fe
The shocks generally occur as short,
sharp 1olts, the ground seeming to slip

reck strata in the rugged ladrone and Mag
dalena mountains is the cause of the con-
unued shocks
Provisions are growing scarce and real
distress is feared.
The noise and the Quakes are frightful" ="
said Mr.. 8. ]. Leeson, a refugee from
Socorro. II have experienced quakes at
Los Angeles and San Francisco but never
anything so sickening as these prolonged
rockings and jerkings of the earth at
Socorro. Water placed in bowl will show
continuous vibration between the great
shocks. showing that the earth is never

and chimneys and walls topple with each
recurrent tremor."
Delay to Traffic.
Reports received at the office of the gen.
era manager of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road indicate that some DELAY to
traffic has been experienced by the railroad
company on account OF New Mexico earth
quakes. Boulders shaken down from the

THOMPSON SETTLERS.
CONTINUED from Paue IL

the care We shall give them, most re.
specially referring you to Sec. $40.
Revised Laws OF Hawaii as an answer
to that letter, and again, as before, dc.
uyIng most emphatically your right "
make or change the law.
In your very inconsistent letter OF
September 22d. 1905, you state "a
study OF this letter has convinced me
that an ordinary family cannot attend
to more than 30 to 30 acres OF land
and, even with this area, would have
10 employ outside labor, and to parcel
II out in larger areas simply means
that the settler becomes from the start
u competitor in the market Tor Alien
Labor, as this labor will be absolutely
essential to him."
You acknowledged, right here, that
person should have thirty or forty
acres, and yet, for some reason which
we can not fathom in your late re.sub.
division, you have reduced the area TO
fifteen to twenty acres.
Now, Sir, do you assume that the
lomesteader has not the same right to
employ alien or any other labor that a
corporation has? DO you assume that
The homesteader shall only have that
amount of land which he and his own
lamily can cultivate with their own
lands, refusing him the right to en-
ploy outside labor for fear OF ito quote
your own wOrds) competition? Com
petition with whom?
Is not this land now cultivated by
Alien Labor? Is II competition with
them which you fear? Do you deny
The right OF the American Citizen to
compete with alien labor? Has the
homesteader no rights under the law,
as you construe II?
II the association Is defeated In Its
desire, would not this land be again
cultivated by alien labor or, II not, be
abandoned, to the detriment OF great
industry? Is II not fact that the
Japanese planters hold agreements
for the future cultivation of this land
Is II not strange coincidence that
the same mail which brought com
munication TO the Association, from a
person in authority. stating that nc
contracts would ne made to grind cane
except with persons holding small
areas, should also have brought an OF
der from your department, to your SUI
yeyOr here to reduce the lots one-halI
or more OF the area originally survey
ed? Are you aware that employers Of
alien labor have placed obstacles N
the way of and have tried, in every
way, TO discourage this Association II
the obtaining of public land? II yol
are not, you can refresh your memory
by referring to your correspondence.
Why should you be SO determined t
throw every obstacle in the way o
American citizens while at the sam'
