Earthquake in Fornosa.

Tokio-One hundred and nine per-
sons are known to have been killed
and twenty-five injured in the earth
quake in the southern part of
the island of Formosa last Sat
urday, but further details, it is
expected, will swell the death roll,
as the shock was more severe than
that of March 18th. The town of Ka-
gil again was the principal sufferer, the
the houses which escaped destruction
in the former disturbance being now
in ruins. DOko and several other
towns and villages were also affected
by landslides which have completely
changed the topography of the country.

CRIME MAY

STANDARD oIleT OFFICIALS MAY
BE ACCUSED OF
FORGERY

Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 26. - Charges
of forgery and fraud were brought In
the hearing yesterday Of the case OF
the State Of Missouri against the Stan
[dard Oil company and last evening the
conclusion of the proceedings, which
were held before Notary Frank w.
Schwentner, Attorney General Hadley
Of Missouri announced that sufficient
evidence had been produced during
the day to warrant the bringing OF
criminal proceedings under the laws
of New York.
Louis H. Turrell, the accountant,
of Detroit" Mr.. Hadley said, "and for
some fourteen years an employe Of the
Standard Oil company, who has been
on the stand all day, has given us the
best exposure of Standard Oil methods
of anything which we have yet obtain
ed. I shall send copy Of his testi-
mony to District Attorney Jerome OF
New York, with the request that it be
thoroughly examined and that Grimm
al proceedings be brought against the
4 parties guilty Of causing false sigma
ture to be attached to articles of incor.
poration.
jerome May Prosecute.
.Mr. Turrell has sworn here" said
the attorney general, that he was in
duced by Standard Oil officials to sign
the name of F. A. Turrell to the doc
uments, when in reality his name is
Louis H. Turrell. His testimony furth
er shows that his signature was never
sworn to and the notary who took his
affidavit can under the laws of New
York be prosecuted for forgery in the
first degree. 1t will be up to Mr.
Jerome to say whether the persons
who induced Turrell to sign his name
falsely can be included in the prose
cution."
