QUAKE And FIRE
KINGSTON, JAMAICA.
CITY IS REPORTED TO Be. ON FIRE
Lives Lost Estimated at Forty to One
Observation-Disclosures Happened
at 4 P. NJ, January 14th-Re-
ports Are Conflicting.

Kingston, the picturesque capital of
the island of Jamaica, has been de-
wasted by a violent earthquake.
Details of the disaster are lacking,
as direct communication with the
stricken city has been cut off. The
land lines had been reconstructed to
within five miles of Kingston Tuesday
evening and from meagre reports re-
ceived through such channels as were
open, it has been learned that many of
the most important buildings have
been destroyed and that there has
been serious loss of life. So far as the
reports indicate the fatalities number
less than 100, though the hospitals are
filled with injured and the list of vic
tins may be materially increased.
Kingston and the other points of in
terest of the island at this season of
the year are thronged with tourists
from both America and England and the
greatest apprehension is felt for the
safety of many persons who had re-
Gently arrived at the jamaican resorts.
The most distinguished of these
were members of a party OF English
statesmen, agricultural experts and
men of affairs, who under the leader
ship of Sir Alfred Jones, had arrived
in Kingston within the past few days
to attend an agricultural meeting
there. Among those in the company
were Hall Caine, the novelist; Wis
count Montmorres, II. O. Arnold-For-
ster, Sir Thomas M. Hughes, Sir
Thomas Sham and others of equal
prominence.
The first great shock was felt about
$3.50 O'Clock Monday afternoon and
flames Immediately sprung from the
wreckage to carry on the work OF de-
struction. Tuesday afternoon the fire
was still burning, although it was be-
lieved to be under control.
The Myrtle Bank hotel, the princi-
pal hotel in Kingston, which probably
sheltered the great bulk of visitors on
the island, is reported destroyed. The
great military hospital was burned
and forty soldiers are reported dead.
Sir James Ferguson is said to have
been instantly killed, but according to

The prohibitory expense now at

many points and absolute lack of avail

decentralization of traffic. A fifteen

be secured in adequate quantities and
at more reasonable prices. To this
the traffic systems of the country must
be adjusted. The heavy transfers must
be made away from the larger cities.

BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IS NEEDED

Suggested.
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IS NEEDED

Governor John A. Johnson of Mime
James ]. Hill. president of the Great
Northern Railroad company, in which
the railway magnate deals exhaus
lively with the various phases of the
railroad problem.
Mr. Hill sets out at length what, in
his opinion, is responsible for the ex-
listing situation and what should be
done to remedy it. The western coun-
try has grown so fast that the rail
roads have been unable to keep pace
with it, Mr.. Hill says, and he believes
the building of additional trackage is
the best solution of the problem. He
says it would require a permanent in
vestment of $1,100,000,000 a year for
five years to provide the railroads of
the country with means to handle
properly the business already in sight
and not allowing for future growth.
Mr.. Hill says in part: During re-
cent years the volume of business has
increased and is increasing with eX-
traordinary rapidity while the neces-
sary additional trackage and terminals
have not been equal to the demands
upon them. The resulting situation is
a freight blockade OF enormous pro-
portions, especially at all terminal
points. How to remedy this is a
problem, financial, mechanical and
physical. No time should be lost in
applying such measures of remedy as
may lie possible
Mr.. Hill quotes the figures from the
official reports of the interstate COM
merce commission to show the growth
of the railroad business for the past
ten years, and says:
The figures show the cause of de-
| lay in natural traffic movement which
threatens to bring industry to a stand

There are and will be cars enough to
