GROUND GAPS OPEN
IN TERRIBLE QUAKE
Fearful Tembor Shakes South Sea
Islands - Entire Coast Line
Changes as Result of
Great UpheavaI
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. l.. The Solo
mon islands, in he South seas, We're
visited by a fearful earthquake several
months ago and so heavy was the force
of the tembor that the earth was
opened and deep gorges created. The
entire coast line of he islands was
changed by the great upheaval, but
as far as can be ascertained there was
no loss of life.
The news was brought here by Gov
ernor c. B. l.. Moore, who arrived on
the Oceanic company's steamer Sierra
yesterday from Samoa. He stated that
a trading schooner came into Apia from
the Solomon group before he left for
this country with news of the temblor.
The details brought by the trader were
meager.
1t is deemed probable that the earth
quake that was experienced in the Sol
omon islands was the one recorded on
the seismographs in various parts of
the world. According to the instru-
ment at Apia, Samoa, it lasted for
several minutes and was said to be the
heaviest shock ever recorded. 1t was
figured that It took place somewhere
in the South seas, but as no report
came in from the civilized islands it
was thought that it took place at sea.

MOB WOULD LYNCH
NEGRO MURDERER
Sheriff Foils Plans of Armed Men to
Exact Quick Vengeance for
Staying of Woman
and Child
BY Associated Press.


GLOBE, Ariz., F b. IA telephone
message from Roosevelt this evening
states that an attempt made to lynch
William Baldwin, the negro charged
with the murder of Mrs. Iorrls and her
child yesterday, allied through the de-
termination of Sheriff Thompson to pro-
tect the prisoner.
Sheriff Thompson left Roosevelt at 5
O'Clock this evening for Globe. A party
of armed horsemen started to intercept
the deputies, but the men drew their
Winchesters and the sheriff ordered
them to return. They complied, but
it is said that another attmept will be
made to intercept the party before they
reach Globe, where they are expected
early tomorrow morning.
At the inquest on the bodies of the
victims in Roosevelt tonight he cor
oner's jury returned the verdict that
"the deceased came to their death at
the hands of William Baldwin, a mU-
latto, aged 25.'
The evidence, according to District
Attorney Stoneman, who is on the
ground, is conclusive that Baldwin is
the guilty party as the prisoners
story that he interfered while two
MeXicans were assaulting the victims
is untenable, as only one pair of tracks
can be found near the scene of the
crime and they fit Baldwin's shoes eX-
actly.
Judge j. S. Nave stated tonight that
he will call special grand and trial
juries tomorr, w for the trial of Bald
win.
The bodies of the victims were
shipped from Roosevelt this afternoon
to Globe.

SAYS ALIENS STOP
RACES INCREASE
Wesleyan Professor Says immigrants
Decrease Size of Families and Pre-
diets Dire Disaster Unless
Conditions Change
By Associated Press.

BY ASSOCldIeQ ITeSs.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Professor F. c.
Marshall of Ohio Wesleyan university,
in an address on Race Effects of Immi-
grafton" at the University of Chicago,
declared race suicide in America is due
TO the influx of immigration into the
country. He said American stock had
been lowered many notches and de-
clared the present situation is alarm
ing.
America today would have a popu-
lation of 100,000000 instead of $4,000, 600
if it had retained it's original colonial
stock, according to his figures, These
are based on the country's growth for
the first fifty years, at the end of which
immigration began to be severe in
fuence on the rate of increase of pop
ulatiOn.
1T is still an open question as to
whether the early immigrants did not
produce check in colonial stock" Pro-
fessor Marshal. said, but it is figured
on what appears to be reliable basis
that the population of the country
would have been 1OO,OOO,OOO II it had
gone on at the rate of Increase of the
first fifty years of the eountry's his
tory.
THE law of population show that
there is probably a casual connection
between the immigration and the
checking of population. The native
stock, of course, has a great race pride.
AS soon as immigrants came over
with their lower standard of living
it became necessary to reduce the size
of families to keep up their standard
OF living.
THE early immigrant caused a de-
cline of the birth rate and displace-
ment of the colonial stock although it
did not produce a serious racial change.
Unless conditions change and restric-
tiOns take place ten or fifteen years
hence there will be a considerable ra-
cial change, Already there is a notice
able difference"

DRUNKEN RIOTERS
SLAY GOVERNOR
Chief Executive of Caracas Is Assas-

Partisans of Rebel
Leader
BY Associated Press.

ASSOCldleu fTeSS.
CARACAS, Feb. General Luis
Mata Has, the governor of Caracas,
was assassinated last night by crowd
of intoxicated partisans of Vicente
Gomez, the first vice president of the
republic.
Among the assassins was Eusbio
Gomez, a companion of the vice presi-
dent. They spent the evening riotous-
ly, shooting pistols, drinking and cry
ing, Long live Gomez"
General Mata y Has drove to the
cafe where the men were for the pur-
pose of demonstrating with them. They
invited the governor into the cafe to
drink with them.
He continued his remonstrances,
when the crowd suddenly opened fire
on him. The assassins were arrested.
A dispatch received from Willemstad,
Curacao, January 90, declared that
according to advices received there
from Caracas, Governor Mata Has,
at the head of body of armed troops,
surprised a secret meeting in the court
yard of the house of President Gomez
at Caracas on the night of January
27, and in the fighting that followed
the governor and several other men
We're killed.
This is the way the story reached
Curacao, which lies about 100 miles
from the Venezuelan coast. The dis
patch of tonight comes direct from
Caracas. and while it has been delayed
in transmission because of improper
cable communication with Caracas, it
doubtless gives the correct story.
General Luis Mata Has was minister
of public works of Venezuela and was
appointed governor of the district of
Caracas on the recent return of Pres
ident Castro to the presidency.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The sc.rlet fever
scourge which is sweeping over the
city at a rate which is striking terror
to the hearts of Chicagoans has been
traced to the impure milk supply, which
comes from the country towns around
the lake city.
Health officials of Illinois and Wis
consin have joined in their efforts to
stamp out scarlet fever and other con-
tagious diseases in the centers from
which the greatest part of the milk
supply of Chicago comes.
This action follows an investigation
by chemists in charge of the city lab
oratories, which discloses the fact that
carloads of cream and milk are being
shipped in by roundabout route from
Genoa junction and Bassetts station,
Wisconsin, places in which the fever
epidemic is so virulent that shippers
had been forbidden to send milk to
Chicago without written permission
from the health board.
City Council Acts
The health committee of the city
council yesterday took drastic measures
to suppress the epidemic. They author
lied the employment of $50 additional
medical inspectors who, with the in
spectors already employed, will guard
all the public schools constantly.
The second move was to urge the
council to appropriate $4,000 at once
for a contagious disease hospital.
The committee passed a resolution
generating the city health department
from charges of inefficiency and neglect
Of duty.
Dr. j. A. Egan, secretary of the state
board of health, arrived in the city
yesterday anu conferred with Health
Commissioner Whalen. He is investi-
eating conditions over Northern Illi-
nois. He considers the conditions grave
and will continue his inquiry today.
The Oak Park board of health at a
meeting last night decided to close the
village schools until the toidemic is
stamped out.
Sensational Exposures Probable
Sensational developments are expect
ed in connection with milk inVeStiga-
tions in the city. DR.. j. f. Biehn, who
is head of the milk inspection depart
ment, limited that charges have beef
preferred against large local dis
tributcr of milk, whose product is sup
posed to be cared for under ideal con-
ditions. DR.. Biehn also asserted pro-
ceedngs are under way against a con-
Germ which delivers what is sold as

Perkins Says Conflict
With Japanese Is
Inevitable
United States Will Never
Accept the Orientals,
States Senator
Member Of California Delegation Dis
cusses War Talk-WouId Submit
Differences to Hague Tribunal
for Settlement
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm an adj
dress tonight before the National Geo
graphical society, Senator Perkins of
California dwelt at length upon the
probability of a conflict between the
Americans and Japanese, ''two irrecon-
ciliable races" as he pronounced them.
Senator Perkins said:
Hawaii has the Japanese on her
hands as we in California will soon
have, and as this people is more ag-
gressive. more tenacious, more cunning
and more determined than the Chinese.
1t will never do to permit long delay
before settling the question for all.
For the people of Japan have started
out on a course of commercial develop
ment which will soon bring the United
States and Japan so close together that
it will be difficult to settle the question
at all. Japan is still in the flush of it's
great triumph over what was consd-
cred the largest of European powers. 1t
successfully interposed a barrier to
Russian supremacy in eastern Asia.
Japanese Would Expand
1.-The primary ambition of Japan is to
colonize the overflow population of the
empire in adjacent countries under it's
own sovereignty. This is the true be-
ginning of real national expansion, but
in addition to this the inherent jap
anese traits of patriotic impulses will
make them a foreign element in any
IN NVhi
Real expatriation is a condition practi-
cally impossible to the Japanese mind.
1.-The extent to which the Japanese will
occupy the territory of friendly powers
will be displacement of the sovereignty
of the power extending to them a well
come and the presence of the SOW
ereignty of the mikado of Japan.
Japan, as the dominant oriental ma
ton, will naturally form with the other
oriental nations an alliance which will
consolidate the nations into effective
cooperation.
THE science of war SuperVeneS only
upon foundation of all other sciences.
No nation in all history has exhibited
a greater capacity for unity of purpose
than the Japanese; no nation has mani
tested a greater aptitude to seize upon
and appropriate all that the English
have discovered in the other nations in
art, science and in government.
Will Never AssimiIate
THE Japanese wherever distributed
will remain a considerable unit in the
aspirations of the Japanese race, and
however distant their residence from
the throne of the mikado will still con-
stitute an element of strength in the
unity of the empire. Naturalization in
any country to which they might mi
CRATE will not eliminate this racial in
stinct.
Conflicts between nations are the re-
suit of antagonism which underlies the
very foundation of their purposes, their
aspirations, their life and expansion.
THE presence of Russia as a prime
factor in the commerce of the Pacific
coast was inimical to the aspirations of
the Japanese empire in the same line.
