Albuquerque, y. NJ, July 10
Refugees are arriving in this city
from Socorro TO escape the earth
quakes, which con ninle unabate1.
Since July not an hour has passc
without at least one shock. El-r
shock is preceded by loud rumh,lng
which can be heard approaching
from the northwest before Il r-acae
Socorro.
ON this side 7'1o 49, ending from
the Lareone morn:rrnf southecs.. tic
shocks are hardly Talt.
Senior Paca, until rc~entlv distric,
attorney. has fled to this city witH
his family. He says 'lqt all in So
corro are fleeing by any means
available. The most are going to FL
Paso, many here and others to Santa
Fe. ,
The shocks are described as sharp,
short jerks, the ground appearing TO
slip violently.
Provisions are scarce and there is
much distress among the refugees.
Mrs. j. ]. Lasson says: ITS is fright
full. I've experienced earthquakes in
Los Angeles and San Francisco. but
have newer felt anything so shock
ing as these prolonged rockings and
jerkings at Socorro. Water in a bowl
will continue to show vibrations be-
tween the greater shocks, showing
that the earth is never still. Not a
house in town is safe to enter. The
walls topple with each recurrent
tremor." No loss of life is yet re-
ported.
Nohndy is living in houses. but
camp either out doors or in box cars,
which the Santa Fe has rushed 10 the
scene.
The water in the hot springs near
Socorro have increased 10 degrees in
temperature in the last week.

UNFORTUNATE SUGGESTION.
Why the New Streets Were Not
Named After Medicos.

Hamburg, July 19.-The municipal
council room in the town of Hagen
in Westphalia, was the scene of an
amusing occurrence a few days ago.
Vice -Burgomaster Wilde, in an en-
thusiastic speech, proposed that three
new streets should be named after
the celebrated physicians, DR.. Koch,
DR.. Behring and DR.. Roentgen, in
recognition of their brilliant services
in the cause of suffering humanity.
A storm of applause greeted the
proposal but an ominous silence fell
upon the meeting, when Councillor
Buschhaus rose and pointed out that
the three streets in question led to
the cemetery and for this reason the
eminent scientists named might not
feel unqualified qualification at the
honor it was proposed to confer upon
them. 1t is hardly surprising to read
that after this the matter was
dropped by unanimous consent

SEARCHERS SAY
CHILD IS STOLEN
NO TRACE
OF CECIL BRITAIN.
Over $50 People Have Joined the
Search, Which Has Been wholly
Fruiiless-Drapcr Hounds Hail to
Find Trac,-Aftcr Consultation
OF !M the Forces Today, il Mas Al
mos Unanimously decided That the
Child Is Stolen-Scarch for Kid
napcr.

For s5 hours the drea ry searJh for
Cecil Britain has been in progress
at the tollgate on the summit Of the
Blue mountains, without the slightest
trace Of the child being found.
over $50 people are now at the
summit. and this afternoon all the
forces We're called in for consulta-
tion. Ii was almost definitely de-
cded that the child has been kidnap-
er, as not tn slightest trace of clo0h-
ing, blood or other mark Heading ;to
the theory that II has been devourt d
by wild animals has been found.
The Draper bloodhounds absolutely
failed to pick up a scent anywhere.
ana 1t is the opinion of Draper that
the child has been carried away by
some one and that II is now alive in
the hands OF a kidnaper.
Sheriff Taylor, of tins city, is now
with the searehers and will now run
down the clues that may have been
found leading ito the belief THAI the
child is stolen. The mysterious man
who has been seen at times on the
mountain has not been located and a
search will now be made for him and
his camp.
Word is sent oui that there are now
too many men on the mountains
The accommodations are not ampl,
for the crowds that are now gathered
there. 1t Is decided that 1t is of but
little use to search farther as every
foot of ground for miles around the
tollgate has been thoroughly hunted
over and now all effort will be direct
ed toward finding a trace OF the mys-
terious stranger or others who may
have crossed the mountain about the
time the child was lost.

Having become tired of the delays
met with in securing right of way
deeds for the opening of West Court
street, the council decided last night
to commence condemnation proceed
ings for a right of way through the
Nate Raines property.
The above action was recommended
by Councilman Hinkle, who recited
the troubles which had been met IN
an attempt to reach an amicable set
tlement with Raines. At the outset
1925 had been asked by Mrs. Raines
for the right of way. but after this
amount had ben raised by subscription
the price had been advanced to $500.
But even then the deed could not be
secured, Mr. Raines refusing to sign
for all the land desired.
According to Councilman Hinkle,
it would be simpler and cheaper to
take condemnation proceedings. and
the same was so ordered. Right or
way for the street through the rail-
road property must also be secured
that way, but no resistance will be
made by the company,
Dislike Oil Tanks.
A petition asking for the removal
of the Standard Oil companys tanks
from their present location on Rail-
road street, between Ann and James
was presented. 1t was signed by nu-
merous residents of that community
and declared the presence of the
tanks to be a menace to life and
property. The petition was referred
to the fire committee.
A written report by Architect T. F.
Howard recommending repairs on the
Lee street bridge was read. and the
street committee was authorized to
order the needed work The crib near
the center of the bridge will have to-
be replaced and some other work
done in order TO make the bridge safe
for summer travel.
The maintenance bond for the War
rem Construction company was pre-
sented to the council and being ap-
proved by the city attorney was ac-
cepted. The companys principal
bond, for the execution of its paving
contract, was received and accepted
a week ago.
Water Wagons Scarce"
/ In behalf of his constituents on
West Court street, Councilman Hin
kle asked that his street be repaired
so that sprinkler wagon could get
down that way once in awhile. "It
would help out If one would lust come
in sight now and then" said he.
Mayor Fee remarked that but re-
Gently the west end was complaining
of too much water. This was admit
ted by Councilman Hinkle. who said
his neighhorhood seemed to be strick-
en- by the hand of Providence and the
sprinkling wagon also.
Another Block of Pavement.
While the street discussion was on
Mayor Fee said he had been inform.
ed by Colonel ]. H. Raley that the.
block on College street between Court
and Alta can be paved providing the
county court will bear its portion OF
the expense. the property owners on
the west side being willing.
