SEARCHING FOR AN
OLD Time MINER
A. J. LOOMS CAME TO NEW MEX.
lCO IN 1905 AND RELATIVES
THINK HE WAS MUIR
DERED.

George F. Reid of Pennsylvania, ar
rived in Albuquerque today, en- route
east from a pleasure trip to the coast
and spent the time here trying to
secure data concerning one A. j
Loomis, a miner, who came to New
Mexico, from Schuylkill, Pa, in 1895
and who, Mr.. Reid thinks, was later
murdered.
"He was my wifes father" said Mr.
Reid, in conversation with a repre-
sentative of The Evening Citizen
"and came to New Mexico in 1895
He would be about rs years old il
alive today. Before he left Schuyl-
kill he told a friend that he had mines
in New Mexico that would make him
and his relatives rich. Shortly after
coming here we read in the papers
that he had been murdered while out
prospecting, and as We never heard
from him afterwards, we accepted the
newspaper story as being true.
However, as | happened to be out
here | thought | would stop OFF in AL
buquerque and see If | could secure
any data regarding the old gentle
man or find someone who remem-
bered the circumstances.
"Slnce arriving here | have heard
that there is an A. j. Loomis I'm Santa
Fe. | don't know who he Is. or wheth-
er he is a son or relative of my wife's
father but | have heard thai he was
too young to be the A. J. Loomis |
am looking up, as the latter was al
most 65 when he first came 10 New
Mexico"

THREE new TORPEDO
BOAT DESTROYERS
FOR THE NAVY
Will Cost S75O.OOO Each and
Represent a New Type
Entirely.
EXPERTS THINK PLANS
ARE ABOUT PERFECT

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S.-The
work on plans for the three destroy
ers which are to be built this year
and which were authorized by con-
gress in the recent session, to cost
not more than $750,000 each. These
destroyers will represent a distinct
advance in that type of naval ves-
sells. The principal characteristic
will be that of speed, and the turb-
ines with which the destroyers will
be equipped are expected to drive the
boats through the water at thirty
five and possibly thirty-six knots
This Is big advance In speed when
1t is considered that the destroyerS
now under construction will have a
speed of only thirty and one-half
knots, The new destroyers will be
of about coo tons displacement, and
will be of an ocean going quality
Most of the experts believe that these
plans will represent the final stage
in the development of the destroyers
for many years TO come. 1t Is certain
that no types of machinery now
known will give greater speed to
the destroyers than thirty-siX knots
1t will mean the abandonment of the
surface torpedo boat for one thing
and it is expected by it's advocates
to Introduce new peril to, the bat
tleship In time Of war A greater
speed would mean an increase in the
size of the destroyer, and this is mo-
considered advisable. The only hope
/ of greater speed for the destroyer
is In the application OF the internal
combustion engine, which, as yet, has
not developed sufficiently to be of use
| in the destroyer.

Earthquake Valparaiso Is Said to Be
Almost Or Quite AS Badly Injured
AS San Francisco Was.
PILLAGERS WERE SHOT AND PEOPLE CAMPEO ON HIlLTOPS
Quake Was Followed BY Fire Which Did Great Damage. So
That Nearly the Whole City Is In Ruins
From TrembOr and Fire.

New York, Aug 1S.-The Herald to-
day printes the following:
Valparaiso, Chic, Friday, via Gal
veston-Wfthout the slightest tremOr
of a warning an earthquake visited
this city at O'Clock last night, bring
ing instant death to hundreds of per-
sons and leaving many others impris-
oned in ruins, many of whom were
burned to death before aid could reach
them. rhe fire started Immediately
after the first shock and every
branch of the city's service was par
alyzed. Panic and CONSERVATION indie
scribable followed. Those who es-
capped death and injury became fren-
zied with fear and could render little
assistance to victims. The business
section of the city is almost destroyed
and fires are steadily raging. We are
suffering here repetition of the hor'
rors of San Francisco. AS nighI comes
on the city is everywhere aglow with
unobstructed fires, clouds of smoke
and vapor settle into the streets and
houses, where throngs of homeless
ones are wandering about crazed with
fear. 1t is almost impossible to as
| certain now wide an area of country
the visitation has laid in waste. Moth.
ing has been heard from Santiago
the capital city of Chile, and it is
| feared that the rate of that city is as
bad or worse than that of Valparaiso
| Telegraphic communication is cut of
in every direction. No trains have ar
rived or left the city since the first
shock, as all railroad tunnels are filled
and miles of track on the surface
are twisted and rendered useless. The
day had been usually calmn ant
pleasant. At o'clock the whole city
seemed suddenly to swing backward
and forward, and then came a suddeT
jolt of such mighty force that rows o
buildings tpppled to the earth as /
made of brittle plaster. Whole rows
of bunuings went down in few sec
onds. Soon after the second shock haC
subsided. It became known that The
business section of the city wa!
doomed by fire Before midnight i
was eviden that the Bella Vista sec
tion was also doomed Before tnt
people were given time to realize tn,
magnitude of the calamity, again thu
city was shaken with violence great n
than before. The earth in places lift
