Ever since the successful prusecu-

some member Of the New York col

RECORDS TWO SEVERE SHOCKS

Washington, March 27.-1Wo great
earthquakes were recorded at the
weather bureau last evening The
first was much greater than the Sec
ond and began with great distinct
ness at G:09:22 pm. The second be
gan with equal distinctueSs at l0:45:

preliminary tremors IN the first shock
amounted to five minutes and three
seconds Tho first preliminary tremor
of the second shock lasted four min
utes and Hfty-four seconds. The dis
tance in each case was about 2,600
miles.
The earthquake which is reported
to have destroyed the Mexican town
of Chilapa undoubtedly is the same
disturbance that shook the island Of
st. Thomas yesterday afternoon which
was recorded at Washington last eve
ming and which caused considerable
alarm i'm Mexico City last night
At Washington two shocks We're re-
corded by the instruments Of the
weather bureau There We're approx
imately at a distance Of 2,400 miles,
The first took place at 6:09 pm. ana
the second at t0:45 pm, In addition
to this there was recorded on the af-
ternoon Of March ? at Washington
evidences of strong shock believed
to be in the same locality as those Of
yesterday.
The shocks in Mexico City last
night cracked walls all over the city
The theater crowds rushed to the
streets and for a short time there was
apprehension.
No great damage WAS done
The disturbance at St Thomas is
described as a very sharp earth shock
but it did no damage.
The town of Chilapa is something
over 1000 miles from Washington. 1t
is 40 miles from a railroad.

Mexico City March 27.-Chilapa, Il

earthquake and burned.
The shocks, two in number oc-
CURED early last evening and We're
followed by fires, which, originating
in a dozen places among the tum-
bling buildings, joined in a conhagra-
ton that swept the town. Only mea-
ger facts of the disaster are known
here and what has been learned has
dribbled in from half dozen sources
more or less authentic.
The loss of life, if any, as well as
the monetary extent of the property
damage. is problematical and con-
tinued efforts to gauge the catastro-
phe has been futile tonight, Tcle-
graph communication with Chilapa
was severed by the shocks, and the
town is two days by horseback from
the nearest railway station
Couriers have been dispatched to
Chilapa from Chilpanciugo, some As
miles distant, and it is presumed that
messengers for relief were sent from
the burned city early today and pos
sihly Immediately following the earth
quake last night
The reports that have reached here
agree that the town was destroyed by
the shocks and fire, and that the pco-
pie ncd terror stricken.

Now. perhaps you may think 1 am
rich and that wealth and plenty Just
flow toward me, and all I have TO DO
is 10 pluck what I want just as you
would were you turned loose in flower

No, l am only poor travelling sales
man, but I try to see the charms and
beauties Of nature wherever ! may go,
whether it be in sunny California or
in the deserts of Nevada: wh9ther my
course may lead me into the snowy
woods of Wisconsin, or under the hot
sun of Texas.
In dealing with my brothers and
fellowmen it makes no difference
whether they came from the hills and
pine forests of Norway and Sweden,
or whether they once lived on the vine
clad hills and in the myrtle groves OF
Spain and Italy; whether they once
fed silkworms in Japan. or plucked
and dried tea leaves in China; or chased
the buffalo over our western plains
and lived in wigwans; or were once
slaves in the southern cottonields.
/ mean that wherever our neighbor
may come from he is Gods creature,
and is entitled to his protection, and
we should learn to respect the rights
Of our fellowman. and whenever we
are willing to accord to our fellowman
the same rights which we ask for our
selves and which we know we owe to
others we cannot help but be happy.
Are you willing to try?
